"Recently at a Linux show, John Littler saw a preview of a new version of KDE running on a KDE developer's laptop. The interface looked cleaner than before, and apparently there was a whole raft of new stuff under the hood. John recently interviewed KDE developer Aaron J. Seigo about the forthcoming KDE 4 (due in the fall) and also a little about the recent controversy surrounding the porting of KDE to operating systems other than Linux."

Our Mission.....The Vallejo Fire Department, Fire Prevention Division exists to improve the lives of its citizens by conducting fire and life safety inspections.
The City of Vallejo will be conducting annual fire and life safety inspections at all properties containing three or more dwelling units, hotels, motels, lodging houses, bed and breakfast facilities, and congregate residences. The fire department considers fire and life safety inspections at these types of occupancies to be a benefit to the owners/operators, their tenant and guests. The inspection also addresses unsafe conditions that could result in business interruptions.
How will this program benefit me?
Fire and life safety inspections are completed to protect property owners and residents from the devastating effects of fire. By promoting a safe living environment in these types of occupancies, the chance for fire decreases. Fire can kill, disable, destroy property and disrupt lives. According to the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 79% (412,500) of the 524,000 structure fires reported in 2006 occurred in residential properties, including homes, hotels, motels, rooming houses and dormitories; 76% (396,000) occurred in homes. (NFPA uses the term "home" to include one- and two family dwellings, apartments and manufactured housing.) Residential structure fires rose 4% in 2006 from the 381,000 reported in 2005. Four of every five fire deaths resulted from residential structure fires. Eighty percent (80%) of the 3,245 civilian fire deaths reported in 2006 were caused by residential structure fires.
Are these inspections required?
Yes. Inspections must be conducted annually for all properties containing three or more dwelling units, hotels, motels, lodging houses, bed and breakfast facilities, and congregate residences. The California Health and Safety Code, Section 13146.2 (a) mandates that the inspections be completed annually while the California Health and Safety Code; Section 13146.2 (b)provides the City legal authority to charge property owners to recover reasonable costs for providing these annual inspections.
When will these inspections happen?
Inspections will be conducted by Fire Prevention Inspectors Monday through Friday during normal business hours from 8:00am until 5:00pm. Each property is inspected at approximately the same time of year. Large occupancies may be contacted to arrange inspection dates and times in an effort to ensure access to fire protection system components and facility personnel responsible for their maintenance.
R-2 Residential Occupancies consisting of 3 - 5 units will be inspected on a not to exceed every 3 years or less basis.
Please note: Self-certification forms for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers for all R-2 occupancies must be mailed or delivered to the Fire Prevention Division on an annual basis.
The inspection process -
An initial inspection will be conducted by a Fire Inspector. At the conclusion of the inspection a report detailing any violations that need correction will be issued or mailed to the property owner. Violations shall be promptly corrected by the property owner or their representative. The 1st re-inspection will be conducted on or after 30-days of the initial inspection. At this time individual violations will be cleared if corrective action has been taken. If violations still exist, a 2nd re-inspection will be required and additional inspection fees will be charged.
What will the Inspector look for?
A typical fire and life safety inspection at R – 2 occupancies include checking for fire hazards specific to access, exiting and exit system components, fire protection equipment, fire extinguishers, storage, housekeeping and utilities.
Fire lane obstructions, property identification numbers, key box access and contents, utilities(gas and electrical service) access, hydrant access.
Exit system components including: Exit signs and exit illumination, exit access doors including hardware, staircase and railing condition, hallway and/or corridor obstructions, security window bars and gates.
•Utilities (gas and electric) -
Utility identification, electrical wiring and panels.
•Storage and Housekeeping in common areas -
Excessive storage, hazardous materials storage, combustible fire hazards.
•Fire Protection equipment -
Smoke detectors, fire alarm systems, fire sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers, fire protection system signage.
Will the Inspector enter individual units?
Generally, inspectors will not examine the interior of units. However, if a tenant is home, they may request the inspector check their smoke detector. Inspectors may check smoke detectors in vacant units if the owner or manager is present and provides consent.
How can I prepare for my inspection?
Your property should be maintained in good condition. For example, common areas and exit hallways should be clear of stored items. Laundry rooms maintained, address and unit numbers clearly visible, exit signs well-maintained, fire hydrants - fire sprinkler systems and utility valves kept clear of vegetation. Fire extinguishers must be serviced and tagged annually by a certified contractor. Smoke detectors and batteries should be checked regularly. Fire sprinkler systems and fire alarm systems must be serviced annually.
How much does this cost?
The fees vary according to the time required to complete the inspection and reflect the fee needed to recover the costs of the inspection. The current hourly rate used to recover the costs of these inspections is $194.00 per hr. The following fees have been prepared for your information but are subject to change based on the number of inspections required to abate any violations. Inspection time includes inspection and re-inspection time, training, supplies, and office support.
R-2 Residential Occupancies
3 – 5 Units $283.50
6 – 15 Units $378.00
16 – 25 Units $472.50
26 - 60 Units $567.00
61 – 100 Units $661.50
101 – 200 Units $756.00
201 – 300 Units $850.00
301 – 400+ Units $945.00
Why not charge fines instead of fees?
The Fire Department's goal is to achieve compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The purpose is not to penalize property owners, but to educate and gain compliance. The Fire Department's ultimate goal is to have citizens and residents living in safe multi-unit dwelling properties. Funding the program through fines would create an unpredictable revenue source, which might not produce full cost recovery for staffing. It could also be interpreted as unfairly targeting individual property owners for the sole purpose of bringing in revenues.
Where can I get more information?
Additional information is available at the Fire Prevention Division office located at 555 Santa Clara Street, 2nd Floor, Vallejo, CA, 94590 inside the Central Permit Center. Our phone number is 707-648-4565.
Customer Service -
We strive to provide excellent customer service to your complete satisfaction. Our Fire Inspectors and support staff are knowledgeable, business friendly and courteous. Our goal is to have customer service that is not just the best but legendary.

Friday saw the largest global ransomware attack in internet history, and the world did not handle it well. We're only beginning to calculate the damage inflicted by the WannaCry program - in both dollars and lives lost from hospital downtime - but at the same time, we're also calculating blame.
There's a long list of parties responsible, including the criminals, the NSA, and the victims themselves - but the most controversial has been Microsoft itself. The attack exploited a Windows networking protocol to spread within networks, and while Microsoft released a patch nearly two months ago, it's become painfully clear that patch didn't reach all users. Microsoft was following the best practices for security and still left hundreds of thousands of computers vulnerable, with dire consequences. Was it good enough?
If you're still running Windows XP today and you do not pay for Microsoft's extended support, the blame for this whole thing rests solely on your shoulders - whether that be an individual still running a Windows XP production machine at home, the IT manager of a company cutting costs, or the Conservative British government purposefully underfunding the NHS with the end goal of having it collapse in on itself because they think the American healthcare model is something to aspire to.
You can pay Microsoft for support, upgrade to a secure version of Windows, or switch to a supported Linux distribution. If any one of those mean you have to fix, upgrade, or rewrite your internal software - well, deal with it, that's an investment you have to make that is part of running your business in a responsible, long-term manner. Let this attack be a lesson.
Nobody bats an eye at the idea of taking maintenance costs into account when you plan on buying a car. Tyres, oil, cleaning, scheduled check-ups, malfunctions - they're all accepted yearly expenses we all take into consideration when we visit the car dealer for either a new or a used car.
Computers are no different - they're not perfect magic boxes that never need any maintenance. Like cars, they must be cared for, maintained, upgraded, and fixed. Sometimes, such expenses are low - an oil change, new windscreen wiper rubbers. Sometimes, they are pretty expensive, such as a full tyre change and wheel alignment. And yes, after a number of years, it will be time to replace that car with a different one because the yearly maintenance costs are too high.
Computers are no different.
So no, Microsoft is not to blame for this attack. They patched this security issue two months ago, and had you been running Windows 7 (later versions were not affected) with automatic updates (as you damn well should) you would've been completely safe. Everyone else still on Windows XP without paying for extended support, or even worse, people who turn automatic updates off who was affected by this attack?
I shed no tears for you. It's your own fault.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Mar. 5, 2005) - East Tennessee State junior shortstop Chuck Hargis (Powell, Tenn.) hit a two-out infield single in the bottom of the ninth to bring home the game-winning run in an exciting 7-6 Buccaneer victory over West Virginia Saturday afternoon from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn.

Another major storm moving into Northern California was expected to bring more pouring rain, flooding and additional problems to an area already soaked after two major storms, forecasters said Saturday.
Residents of Northern California enjoyed just a bit of a respite Saturday, but the next storm â" the third in a string of powerful weather systems to hit the region since Wednesday â" is expected to force at least two rivers over their banks, said National Weather Service hydrologist Mark Strudley.
With rivers and streams already running high and the ground saturated from the previous storms, the National Weather Service issued flood warnings for both the Napa and Russian rivers, two rivers north of San Francisco with a history of flooding.
"Some roads will become inundated and some of the agricultural areas will take on some water," Strudley said.
The Napa River is expected to flood near St. Helena and Napa around noon on Sunday, while the Russian River is expected to flood near Guerneville early Monday morning, Strudley said.
A flash flood watch was also in effect for a wide area of Northern California through Sunday evening.
At the peak of Friday's storm, thousands of people were without power, but by Saturday Pacific Gas & Electric was reporting only scattered outages, spokesman J.D. Guidi said.
The utility had extra crews standing by in anticipation of new outages caused by falling branches and strong winds, Guidi said.
Friday's stormy weather may be behind the a crash of involving several cars on Interstate 280 outside of San Francisco on Saturday morning, as well as the death of a Pacific Gas & Electric worker in West Sacramento who was killed after his truck crashed into a traffic signal pole during the stormy weather Friday.
With the ground saturated with water, increasing the possibility of trees and branches falling onto roadways, and the roads expected to be slick, California Highway Patrol officials urged drivers to be extra cautious.
Officials were also warning people to be careful along beaches.
A high surf advisory was issued by the weather service, with swells expected to be 14 to 16 feet along the Northern California coast. In Southern California, high surf was predicted in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties.
In San Diego, the Ocean Beach Municipal Pier was closed because of big waves and high tides.
With rain expected all weekend long, Tony Negro, a contractor from Penngrove, Calif., in Sonoma County, said he is worried about water flooding his workshop.
"I'm on my way to get some sand bags," he said.
Elsewhere in the West, a state of emergency was declared in Reno, Sparks and Washoe County in Nevada due to expected flooding as a storm packing heavy rain and strong winds swept through the area.
Reno city spokeswoman Michele Anderson said public servants would be working overtime through the weekend to control what's expected to be the worst flooding there since 2005. The National Weather Service issued a flood warning along the Truckee River.
The weather also prompted cancellations of Christmas parades and tree lightings in Sparks and Truckee, just across the border from California.
Also, a storm rushed through southern Oregon this week, lingering inland over the Rogue Valley and dropping record rainfall. It largely spared coastal Curry County and its southernmost city, Brookings, which were still recovering from a storm this month.
"We are still vigilant for landslides and road closures and trees down, but so far â" knock on wood â" we are still good to go," Curry County Sheriff John Bishop said.
Associated Press writers Haven Daley in San Francisco, Don Thompson in Sacramento, Calif., John Antczak in Los Angeles, Hannah Dreier in Las Vegas, Jeff Barnard in Grants Pass, Ore., and Tim Fought in Medford, Ore., also contributed to this report.

I am the artist who ordered these items. I was disappointed with the fleece blankets. The image printed crooked on 4 of the 5 blankets and the 'plush fleece' is very different from the plush fleece blankets I ordered previously. No where near as 'plush'. These blankets were unsellable. Also, one of the tapestries showed up with a thread that was pressed right into the fabric which made it unsellable as well. The reason I didn't ship these items back was due to the fact that by the time I received the order, there was insufficient time to return the order in time to meet the '30 day' from the date ordered deadline. This is the first time I've been disappointed with an order featuring my art by way of FAA. Sadly, it makes me hesitant to order again.

Alliantgroup LP is a politically connected advisory firm that helps companies apply for lucrative tax credits. Clients have ranged from Oscar de la Renta to an Arkansas candle maker.
The firm also helps companies sidestep taxes, two former employees alleged in July 2009. In a 32-page submission filed with the Internal Revenue Service, along with internal e-mails and documents, they claimed Alliantgroup's clients could owe the U.S. Treasury as much as $712.5 million in refunds over wrongly claimed tax credits.
The whistleblowers stood to make more than $210 million, under a law that offers informers as much as 30 percent of what the government recovers from their tips.
But 21 months later, the IRS rejected the claim, without its auditors ever talking to the whistleblowers and even after a request by some agents to convene a grand jury, internal agency documents show.
The IRS whistleblower program — created by Congress in 2006 to boost tax revenue by giving incentives to tipsters — has become the place where allegations of tax avoidance go to die. Over the past five years, more than 1,300 claims have been filed against almost 10,000 companies and individuals, alleging tax underpayments of at least $2 million apiece.
Just three awards have been paid. The IRS won't disclose the total dollar amount. Taxpayers annually owe $385 billion more than the IRS is able to collect, the agency said.
By contrast, the U.S. Treasury has recovered more than $21 billion since 1986 due to whistleblower tips under a similar law that covers other federal agencies. Last month, the Department of Justice announced that Abbott Laboratories would pay $1.5 billion to settle federal and state claims that it illegally promoted an anti-seizure medication. Information from four whistleblowers helped prompt the investigation.
The IRS is "demoralizing whistleblowers" Sen. Chuck Grassley, who sponsored the whistleblower law, wrote to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner in April.
"The IRS does not have a problem attracting whistleblowers. The IRS's current problem is processing and compensating whistleblowers in a timely manner," said Grassley, an Iowa Republican. As a result, "I am now concerned that whistleblowers will stop coming forward."
Even as the U.S. grapples with a $1.2 trillion budget deficit, the IRS won't aggressively pursue whistleblower tips because of fears that will spur accusations from Congress of heavy-handed enforcement, said Bryan Skarlatos, a tax-litigation lawyer at Kostelanetz & Fink LLP.
Whistleblower claims "can take years to go through the IRS review and award determination process," and the IRS doesn't collect enough information on why claims are rejected, the Government Accountability Office said in a report last year.
The program hasn't met expectations, IRS officials said. "It's fair to say the whistleblower program isn't where we would like it yet," said Steven Miller, IRS deputy commissioner for services and enforcement, who oversees the whistleblower office. "And I think it's fair to say we are working hard on it."
The IRS doesn't talk to whistleblowers more frequently because of concerns about violating strict laws protecting taxpayer privacy, Miller said. He attributed the slow pace to taxpayers appealing IRS rulings. The agency says prospective whistleblowers should expect to wait as long as seven years for an award.
"It is not an incredibly fast process," Miller said. The agency expects to pay out another three to five awards this year, he said.
Whistleblower allegations are filed confidentially and the IRS never tells the subject that a claim exists. Informed of the allegations by Bloomberg News, Alliantgroup denied them.
Alliantgroup is "proud of its success in helping thousands of small and medium businesses across the country benefit from tax credits and incentives," the company said in a statement. Alliantgroup's directors and advisory board include a former senator, three former congressmen, a former IRS commissioner and several former congressional tax-staff members.
Spurned whistleblowers include a California environmental activist, John Hansen. He filed an IRS whistleblower submission that claimed the value of salt flats sold by Cargill Inc. had been exaggerated by appraisers, inflating charitable donation deductions. A California judge found the property's appraiser had overvalued the land.
While the IRS reduced Cargill's deductions, it rejected Hansen's claim without speaking to him even though he had more information, Hansen said. Cargill accepted the IRS's reduced deduction, said Lori Johnson, a spokeswoman for the agriculture company.
The Alliantgroup whistleblowers' odyssey began in July 2009 when they submitted their claim to the IRS.
The ex-employees permitted Bloomberg News to review their allegations and requested anonymity because the IRS doesn't disclose whistleblowers' names. One of them works for a firm that advises companies on tax credits. The two former employees spent a combined six years working at Alliantgroup's headquarters in Houston; one is a tax attorney.
The IRS has challenged research credits claimed by some of Alliantgroup's clients.
In March, U.S. Tax Court Judge Diane Kroupa rejected tax credits by an Alliantgroup client and said the firm had shown no proof that wages paid to two top executives of hair-care products maker Farouk Systems Inc. qualified as research expenses.
"The inadequate substantiation prevents any amount of the relevant wages from qualifying for the research credit," the judge wrote. She called the testimony from Farouk's witnesses "self-serving and unreliable."
While Alliantgroup said in a statement that Judge Kroupa's findings were "unfortunate," it said "there is no question" that Farouk Systems' founder and employees engaged in research.
In the whistleblower claim, the former employees alleged Alliantgroup inflated research expenses by saying top managers spent large portions of their time working on such projects. That enabled more of their salaries to count as costs eligible for the credit.
The whistleblowers included an internal e-mail that showed — after the IRS began examining one client — Alliantgroup manager Amol Gavankar suggested changing the job description of a purchasing manager.
"Obviously in software design, purchasing has no qualification in R&D," Gavankar wrote. "I need you to decide whether we should modify the title or figure out a better job description."
In an interview, Gavankar, who left the company in 2008, said that while he didn't recall the specific e-mail exchanges, it was common to shoehorn employees' job descriptions into positions that would help generate credits.
"I wasn't comfortable with that," he said. "Not having a formal tax background, we did what the partners taught us to do." Gavankar previously worked as a software engineer.
"Alliantgroup does all it can to provide accurate job titles to the IRS," the company said in a statement. Clients must "provide confirmation of allocations and costs before information is placed into" their studies. The company says 93 percent of the research credit dollars claimed by clients and audited by the IRS or state tax administrators since January 2009 have been upheld.
In August 2009, a week after receiving the whistleblowers' file, Katherine Onken, an IRS analyst, began working the phones.
The 35 staff members in the IRS whistleblower office don't pursue claims themselves. Instead, they try to enlist overworked auditors on the IRS's enforcement staff, whose ranks dropped by more than 500 agents and revenue officers last year.
Reached by telephone, Onken declined to be interviewed.
Onken learned the IRS had previous disputes with Alliantgroup's clients. Agency officials in Houston "have had many cases with this group," according to an e-mail to Onken from a colleague on Aug. 10, 2009. She also found out Alliantgroup was in negotiations with the IRS over a proposed penalty of about $250,000 for allegedly preparing false tax returns. The company says it hasn't paid any penalty.
In November, three months after filing their claim, the whistleblowers hadn't received any IRS response, other than an acknowledgement it was received. Their attorney, Joel Androphy, arranged a meeting with two agents from the IRS's criminal division in Houston.
The meeting lasted the better part of a day. The IRS agents started a preliminary investigation into Alliantgroup and requested the convening of a grand jury, according to an internal agency memorandum from Jan. 5, 2010.
That request was denied after discussions between the criminal division and the IRS chief counsel's office, according to the memorandum. The file was passed back to Onken at the whistleblower office.
On the same date, Onken e-mailed a description of the allegations to her boss. The whistleblower office's director, Stephen Whitlock, wrote back quickly that there might be a case to be pursued against Alliantgroup.
He also cautioned in an e-mail: "Sounds like this would be very resource intensive."
Alliantgroup's political connections were also raised in several internal IRS memos.
Alliantgroup's vice chairman is former IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson, who ran the agency under George W. Bush from 2003 to 2007. Its national managing director is Dean Zerbe, former senior counsel to the Senate finance committee, who worked for Grassley and helped write the legislation that set up the whistleblower office. He has represented several tax whistleblowers, including former UBS AG banker Bradley Birkenfeld.
Everson and Zerbe keep tabs on federal tax developments and update the company's clients on potential changes and legislation.
Following a conference call on the allegations about Alliantgroup, Onken, the IRS analyst, scrawled one word next to Everson's name in a handwritten memo: "Concern."
That concern was heightened in May 2010 when Onken received a phone call from her boss, Whitlock. He told her Zerbe and Everson were meeting with the IRS later that week, according to Onken's notes. "He didn't know what the topic/purpose of the mtg was," she wrote.
Everson and Zerbe met with five top officials at the IRS that month, an agency spokeswoman said, including Commissioner Douglas Shulman and Miller, the deputy commissioner for services and enforcement.
The meeting was requested by Alliantgroup to "present its views of issues and challenges faced by small- to mid-sized accounting firms," said an agency spokesman. It didn't address the whistleblower office, the agency said.
The IRS's "determination of any case is based on the law and the facts as they are presented -- period," said Terry Lemons, an IRS spokesman. "Our agents are trained to avoid any inappropriate influence by a taxpayer's representative. We have multiple reviews in place throughout the IRS to ensure decisions are based solely on the facts and circumstances of the case."
Meanwhile, the Alliantgroup file had been given to an IRS technical adviser. While he dismissed some of the allegations, a few were "troublesome," he wrote. They included the allegation that Alliantgroup changed job titles of clients' employees to qualify for more research tax credits.
"The changing of job titles and use of generic descriptions seem at first glance to have been an intentional act to disregard of [sic] the rules," wrote the IRS official, Paul Coates in his May 20, 2010 memorandum. He recommended passing on those allegations to field agents and said a penalty against the firm may be warranted.
Nevertheless, analysts and examiners whose job it is to audit companies like Alliantgroup resisted pursuing the allegations. A team already auditing Alliantgroup as part of a broader examination of research tax credits "doesn't want to look at the [whistleblower] info because they think they have the same or similar info," Onken wrote in a June 2010 memo.
"I don't understand why the team wouldn't want to look at the info," Onken wrote.
Soon after, one of the whistleblowers called Onken to say he still hadn't heard back from the IRS, a year after filing his claim. She said she couldn't tell him anything other than that his claim was being considered, according to her notes of the conversation.
IRS Reluctance
The reluctance of the IRS to talk directly to whistleblowers is common, according to lawyers who file such claims.
"You have an agency that is virtually completely non- communicative," said Erika A. Kelton, an attorney at Phillips & Cohen LLP in Washington, which represents about 40 tax whistleblowers. Since sophisticated tax shelters are complex, "when you have an insider who can shortcut things for you, why not take him up on it?"
The IRS generally doesn't permit its most knowledgeable examiners -- field agents handling audits -- to speak to the whistleblowers at all, the agency says. That is because of fears of accidentally sharing confidential information with whistleblowers, said Marty Basson, an attorney who retired last year from the IRS office that handles those claims.
As the agency debated what to do about Alliantgroup, one IRS official expressed misgivings, according to internal correspondence.
"On one hand it makes sense to reject" the claim, wrote manager Amy Liberator in a June 16, 2010 e-mail. "On the other, they're (Alliantgroup) getting just what they want because they know we probably won't audit these mid-size" companies.
Liberator declined to comment.
Broader Issues
An IRS analyst who had been looking at the broader issue of abuses of research tax credits -- identified by the IRS in 2007 as a top audit priority — wrote in a memo that he didn't feel pursuing the allegations against Alliantgroup "would be an efficient use of resources." Onken forwarded this information to her bosses.
A few months later, on April 26, 2011, the IRS sent brief rejection form letters to the whistleblowers.
"Although the information you submitted did not qualify for an award," it read, "thank you for your interest in the administration of the internal revenue laws."
The two whistleblowers have filed a petition, under seal, in U.S. Tax Court challenging the rejection of their claim.
"This could have been used to refund other taxpayers, or pay down the national debt," said one of them, the former Alliantgroup tax attorney. "Instead, the IRS completely dropped the ball. They wouldn't spend the time and money to go after it."

Looking for clarity: Field Corner and Boundary Corner
Looking for clarity: Field Corner and Boundary Corner
I'm trying to understand the difference between field corners and boundary corners to understand whether Michigan's current abundance of field corners (Countess, Avery, Taylor, Hollowell, T Richardson) and lack of boundary corners (Talbott + freshman in 2013) makes much of a difference after this year. For 2012, it seems that Floyd should be fine as the primary boundary corner.
What I've learned so far is that the boundary corner plays the short side of the field and the field corner plays the wide side of the field. Also, typically the better of the two corners play the field corner. The field corner tends to have more coverage responsibilities while the boundary corner has more run responsibilities.
My hunch is that this isn't a big deal and that if you've got 2-3 corners or more that can cover you should be ok. It seems that the strengths of the field/boundary corners can be accomodated by which safety plays deep. If the field corner can cover but not play the run, then the safety on his side plays closer to the line of scrimmage. Same goes for the boundary corner. Even if both corners struggle against the run, you can still bring one safety up and play 8 in the box to stop the run.
It seems to me if Courtney Avery (or Taylor, Hollowell or Richardson) is better in pass coverage, but not as stout against the run as Talbott then we'd want Avery and Countess starting at the corners in 2013. What about Countess? Do we play him at the boundary corner in 2013?
Another question, which was Charles Woodson's primary position? He had the size to play boundary corner, but he was clearly our best DB so that would push him toward field corner. I suspect he played both depending on where the other team's best receiver was.
Can someone help me out?

Illinois Politician Seeks To Outlaw Anonymous Comments (But Allow Anonymous Gun Ownership)
from the is-anonymity-good-or-bad? dept
Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express critical minority views . . . Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.It would appear that Illinois State Senator Ira I. Silverstein needs a refresher course on this basic concept, as he's recently introduced an almost identical bill to the New York one. Seriously. The wording is about as close to identical as you could imagine. Here's the Illinois wording.
Creates the Internet Posting Removal Act. Provides that a web site administrator shall, upon request, remove any posted comments posted by an anonymous poster unless the anonymous poster agrees to attach his or her name to the post and confirms that his or her IP address, legal name, and home address are accurate.Here's the widely mocked NY wording:
A WEB SITE ADMINISTRATOR UPON REQUEST SHALL REMOVE ANY COMMENTS POSTED ON HIS OR HER WEB SITE BY AN ANONYMOUS POSTER UNLESS SUCH ANONYMOUS POSTER AGREES TO ATTACH HIS OR HER NAME TO THE POST AND CONFIRMS THAT HIS OR HER IP ADDRESS, LEGAL NAME, AND HOME ADDRESS ARE ACCURATE. ALL WEB SITE ADMINISTRATORS SHALL HAVE A CONTACT NUMBER OR E-MAIL ADDRESS POSTED FOR SUCH REMOVAL REQUESTS, CLEARLY VISIBLE IN ANY SECTIONS WHERE COMMENTS ARE POSTED.It kind of makes me wonder who is going around giving state politicians this language.
Meanwhile, Jeff Jarvis notes the ultimate irony that the very same Ira I. Silverstein, just days after introducing that bill to effectively ban internet anonymity, proposed another bill to keep gun owner info anonymous, amending the freedom of information act to exempt firearms ownership data from being available to the public.
Whatever you might believe about anonymous comments and/or gun ownership, it's difficult to put both of these laws together and not see some sort of extreme hypocrisy.

I read an interesting article in View Camera about using 4x5 Graphic with Graflok Back (preferred Crown) as a 120 panoramic camera. The article suggested using a Shen-Hao 6x12 back (they also make a 6x17 back for 4x5). The web page showing 6x12 is:
Do you know anyone who has actually used these backs and do you have any suggestions.

My reply may sound a little biased, but to each his own, I guess. There are a few things that have never made sense to me. One is the use of a 120 roll film back on a 4X5 camera. When I take a 4X5 out to shoot, it's because I want 4X5 negatives. Second, I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would pay the kind of money that those 6X12 holders cost just to get the same result you can get by shooting loose and cropping 4X5 film. There's nothing "panoramic" about them and cropping 4X5 gives you much more room to compose the print in the darkroom. I suppose if one really wanted to get "panoramic", one could shoot 5 inch long strips of 35mm film. The fact remains, you still get the same thing you get with a 35mm strip from the middle of a 4X5 sheet. Nothing more, nothing less.

While I agree with Glenn about the use of RF backs (in traditional formats like 6X7 or 2X3)on 4X5 cameras, I think the 6X12 backs have a place and I recently bought a Horseman. While it is true that you can "shoot loose" and crop to fit with a 4X5 negative, I find that having a dedicated back makes more sense for me. It also is more economical to operate, especially using the outdated 120 roll film I am fond of. Go ahead and laugh, but it's a buck a roll and I have never had any problems.
One big problem (at least for me) with the 6X17 format is that you cannot use a conventional 4x5 enlarger for it. Otherwise, the format is strongly panoramic, which is not really something you can say about the 6X12 which is borderline.
I suspect that the comments in the View Camera article were on target regarding the merits of the different backs; none of them are cheap. You may want to try Glenn's idea first to see if you like the "format". But in order to try to make yourself think in terms of 6X12, make a finder mask for your tube finder so you can get a better idea as to what you are capturing.

There are a few manufacturers of these chinese backs. One is Kang Tai, and another is Da Yi, and I think it may be the Da Yi backs that are being sold through Shen Hao, but it's possible that they are making their own as well. There are a few slightly different variations, mainly involving the viewing system and the way the masks are installed for different formats.
I have the Da Yi 6x17 back and have posted a bit about it on apug.org and the forum at lfphoto.info.
It's neat to be able to get a wider format than 4x5" on a 4x5" camera. These 617 backs work like an extension back, so you focus with a groundglass viewer that has as much extension as the back.
Unlike a 617 back on a 5x7" camera, though, you're restricted to a lens range of about 75mm to 150mm due to mechanical vignetting at the long end and the inherent extension in the back at the short end. You can use longer lenses, but you won't get the full 6x17 frame--still 6x15 with a 300mm lens isn't bad, and for a pano format, a range of 75-150mm isn't so bad either.
The build quality might be described as "industrial," but it's quite a functional solution, and for the $550 or so that I paid, cheaper than any other 6x17 option out there. It uses a film window counter system, so it's mechanically simple--not much to go wrong.
For 6x12 and 6x9 there are masks that go inside the back and counter windows for different formats. Some of the newer ones place the masks outside the back, so that you can swap formats mid-roll.
I don't have a 5x7" enlarger, so I don't think I'll be enlarging these conventionally (occasionally maybe in a friend's darkroom or rented darkroom space). I'll probably make some contact prints on Azo, and I might scan the color ones for Chromira prints.

Thank you all for your input which covers just about the whole spectrum. First, I should preface my remarks with the fact that I am new at taking large format pictures (have considerable experience dealing with large format negatives - have done some work on historical photographs).
Glenn, I agree with you that a 6x9 back belongs on a 6x9 camera for most applications.
I share in many regards disemjg's approach. I like the size, particularly the width of a 4x5 and find dealing potentially with roll film more friendly than sheet film for many reasons.
David, thank you for your post and references to other postings. I found them very valuable and have ordered via ebay source the 6x17 back. 6x12 originally was to be a learning step, but decided to go ahead with larger back which adds an additional dimension to the project.
The other equipment I will be using for the project for your information will be Graflex View, Crown and Speed cameras (I have collected a large number of Graflex products and find them fasinating to say the least.) - all work at this time in black and white. The negatives will be scanned on my Microtek i900 (can do up to 8x10 at 3200dpi) and printed on my Epson 2200 (can go up to 13x44 inch prints) with new software to give better reproduction of black and white. While results may be several months away, I will post here reference to my photographic web site when I have something interesting.
Thank you all for your help with this last piece of the equipment puzzle. John

Place a fillet on each paper round. Top each with ¼ cup sauce. Gather the edges of the paper round at the top over the fillet and twist to make a "beggar's purse." Gather the edges of the foil at the top over the fillet of fish and twist to seal around the paper pouch. These can be refrigerated up to 6 hours. When ready to cook the fish, preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Place the packets on a baking pan with sides and roast the fish 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Remove the foil covering. Serve the paper pouch. Open carefully at the table as steam will escape. Makes 4 servings. SAUCE Tomato and Caper Sauce 1 (35-ounce) Italian plum tomatoes 4 anchovy fillets 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 8 garlic cloves, sliced thin lengthwise ½ cup pitted kalamata olives ¼ cup dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes 1 tablespoon rinsed capers 1/3 cup white wine Puree a third of the tomatoes with the anchovy fillets in a food processor fitted with the metal blade; set aside. In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the garlic, olives, dried tomatoes and capers and saute about 3 minutes until the garlic is soft but not browned. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half. Add the tomato puree and the remaining canned tomatoes, breaking them up as you add them, and bring to a simmer. Cook 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 4 ½ cups.

London: Italy's national team boss Cesare Prandelli has warned Mario Balotelli against wrecking his own career, saying that the Manchester City madcap must take a long hard look at himself to save his career.
Prandelli gave the dire wake-up call as he believes his front-line striker is at a crossroads where one more wrong turn could lead to ruin.
"Everything depends on Mario. Coaches can stimulate you. But everything starts with him, and it is up to him to decide what he is to become," the Daily Mirror quoted Prandelli, as saying.
He also hinted the wayward striker must consider a return home to ensure he gets back on the right track towards the level that saw him star at last summer's European Championship, the Daily Mirror reports.
"I think what is most important is he has continuity in his play – he needs to play games and not be out of the team. If he listens to Mancini then he can play games in Manchester, it is not a problem of city or country," Prandelli said.
"But it is a problem of Mario. It must come with his own decisions, and he must decide he wants to play football, and listen to his coaches," he added.
According to the paper, it is understood the feeling among the City hierarchy, coaching staff and even playing squad is it is a more harmonious group with Balotelli not around, and only the manager's dissenting voice in opposition to that view has kept him there.
But with relations set to get even worse with tomorrow's tribunal over fines imposed for his three red cards last season, it seems there is no way back with even Mancini accepting he cannot save the striker, which paves the way for a loan deal, the paper said.
Prandelli also appeared to suggest that he could help the player save himself and his international career, by escaping what has become a perpetually turbulent environment in Manchester, the paper added.

In Germany, Some Want to Boogie Every Day of the Year
Ban on Dancing on Good Friday Draws Protests; Conga Line in Cologne
FRANKFURT—Every year on Good Friday, Germany becomes a little like the fictional town in the movie "Footloose"—dancing is verboten.
The decades old "Tanzverbot," or dance ban, applies to all clubs, discos and other forms of organized dancing in all German states.
In a country that takes pride in its disco traditions—immortalized by Mike Myers's Dieter character in Saturday Night Live's "Sprockets" sketch—the ban has begun to chafe.
At a rally in the center of Frankfurt on Thursday, a couple dozen protesters gathered to call for an end to the ban. The rally's slogan: "I'll let you pray—you let me dance."
Political activists, pirates and a person in a hot-pink bunny costume were all in attendance as observers stopped by booths set up with information in the busy shopping district.
The Tanzverbot "severely limits the rights of those who are either atheists or who believe in other religions," said Horst Weintraut, a member of the Pirate Party who was dressed in a black cloak and hat. "When someone is dancing Friday evening in a club in the basement, that doesn't disturb any Christians who are praying or doing something in the church during the day."
Protests to overturn the Tanzverbot have grown over the past couple of years as students, atheists and club owners alike have lobbied to strike the law, which they say is outdated and unreasonable.
On Good Friday last year in the largely Catholic city of Cologne, around 150 dancers wearing headphones bopped silently in the shadow of the city's towering cathedral. A conga line formed as police stood by to keep order.
Those who support the law contend that a sacred day for reflection isn't asking too much.
"They can dance on 364 days a year," said Lars Witteck, the district president of the town of Giessen. "We cannot just forget our history. We have certain types of laws that show the respect to our tradition."
Germany has a rich Christian tradition, from Martin Luther to Pope Benedict XVI. Yet much like the rest of Europe, German society is increasingly secular and a dwindling number of people regularly attend church services.
Still, German law has been slow to reflect the trend. Shops across the country remain closed on Sunday. More controversial is the government "church tax" on those in Catholic or Protestant religions, among others, which is collected to fund churches regardless of attendance. The only way to avoid the tax is to officially leave the church, a step many Germans are unwilling to take.
The Tanzverbot was first established by the church and was later adopted by many city governments starting in the Middle Ages, said Wolfgang Kaschuba, director of the Institute for European Ethnology at Humboldt University in Berlin. Largely, explicit laws weren't needed, however, due to existing traditions.
Now, each of Germany's 16 states has its own Tanzverbot law. In addition to Good Friday, dancing is forbidden in many states on several of the so-called quiet religious days throughout the year, including Christmas Eve.
But protesters have rallied around Good Friday, where organized dancing is banned for at least several hours in every state. The strictest bans start at 4 a.m. on Thursday and run through Saturday. Penalties vary, but fines can range from €5 to €500, or about $6.50 to $650.
Adding to the push to allow partying: Good Friday is a public holiday and the start of a four-day weekend. Easter Monday is also a holiday.
"When only 30% of the people belong to a church in a given city, then religious traditions face some backlash," Mr. Kaschuba said.
At Thursday's rally in Frankfurt, protesters called on their countrymen to officially declare themselves atheists to the government and to stop paying the tax levied on members of some religious communities. Organizers even offered a prize: A book on personal freedom.
About an hour north of Frankfurt, in the small university town of Giessen, the local branch of the antiestablishment Pirate Party has taken the Tanzverbot on as a major issue.
"There's a very strong community pressure that you're not able to criticize the church," said Christian Oechler, a Pirate Party leader and one of the organizers. "But now, the people are confident enough to take to the streets."
Last year, members were denied permission from officials to organize an official protest on that day. Still, some gathered and started moving around because they wanted "to warm up because of the weather," Mr. Oechler said.
Protesters try to keep the demonstrations respectful and from interrupting any church activities planned for the day, said Mr. Oechler. He said it is important to keep the church and state separate.
Mr. Witteck, however, argued it was a matter of mutual respect and tolerance.
"For many people, this is the highest sacred day of the year," he said. "Our society has become so fast. Everybody tells us we have to be international, multifunctional. It's not the worst thing to have a certain break during this time."
The Giessen Regional Commission, led by Mr. Witteck, stepped in last year to prohibit the planned demonstrations on Good Friday.
"I like to dance, and I want people to dance, and I think it's important to have fun. I think it's very important to allow everyone to protest," Mr. Witteck said. "But it's the way it is done…This is a provocation."
This year, the Pirate Party of Giessen is maintaining that it isn't organizing an official protest. However, it has posted a Web page under the slogan: "Dance against the Tanzverbot—Alone instead of together."
The notice proposes dancing alone "in your own backyard, on a busy street or perhaps at 6:30 p.m. in front of the Regional Commission" building, where Mr. Witteck's government is based.
There is also a link to a special sign for dancers to print out and carry in case police try to enforce the ban on organized dancing or demonstrations.
The sign reads: "Safety warning: I'm here alone!"

I put together a professional response and ironically enough I've gotten nearly a dozen new students because of her review. We turned around and turned her negative into a positive. Does it end there? No, he ended up training at a Gracie Barra affiliate. He some students not to come train with us because we were so demanding and we trained to hard. They ended up joining our merry band. I actually believe one of them started posting on Bullshido too.

I saw TT's aunt's review on yelp, where she mentions the "scene in the restaurant", and calls on a background in three traditional martial arts as qualification for her opinions.
It's always bothered me, the opening of review sites to any old ape with a sense of taste distilled from the **** scraped out of a burger shack's grease trap. There is an astonishing number of idiots in the world, and in the rare instances where I consider someone's review before making my own I want some bloody assurance that the extent of lil' Ebert's exposure to his medium isn't "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo"".

A Texas teenager accused of making and selling brownies laced with marijuana and hash oil is facing a punishment that could include anywhere from five years to life in prison.
Nineteen-year-old Jacob Lavoro was arrested in April when Round Rock police searched his apartment and found the 1.5 pounds of brownies. Police say they also found additional marijuana and hash oil, leading to a felony charge.
Authorities say hash oil is a controlled substance with much harsher state penalties than marijuana. The oil has higher concentrations of the psychoactive component of marijuana. It's in a penalty group with amphetamines and ecstasy.
Williamson County prosecutor Travis McDonald says the sentencing range is five to 99 years or life in prison, but sentences can depend on aggravating factors and other considerations.

Memory? Why?
Aaah memory. It has been some time since we last had a memory review, and for good reason. Memory got pretty boring. Ten years ago this was not the case. DDR was just fresh on the scene and we were starting to see memory speeds and bandwidths get to a place where it would have a significant effect on performance. Latencies were of utmost importance, and the fastest 188.8.131.52 DIMMs running at DDR 400 speeds were often quite expensive. Then things sort of mellowed out. DDR-2 did not exactly bring faster performance over DDR initially, and it was not until DDR-2 800 and 1066 speeds that we actually saw a significant boost over previous gen DDR 1. DDR-3 brought even more yawns. With the jump to integrated memory controllers from both AMD and Intel, DDR-3 speeds were nearly meaningless.
The primary reason for this rather vanilla time in the memory market was that of individual bandwidth needs for CPU cores. Most research into this issue points to an individual CPU core needing only 3 to 4 GB/sec of bandwidth to support its data needs. AMD and Intel have gone to great lengths to increase the efficiency of not only their memory controllers and prefetchers, but also the internal caches so fewer main memory accesses are needed. So essentially a quad core processor would really only need upwards of 12 to 13 GB/sec of bandwidth in real world scenarios. DDR-3 1333 memory modules in a dual channel configuration would be able to support that kind of bandwidth quite easily. So what exactly was the point of having faster memory? Also, CPUs using DDR-3 memory are not as sensitive to latencies as we have seen in previous generations of parts.

TuboHotel: Totally Tubular Tepoztlán
Creative accommodations? Environmentally friendly? Desirable tourist destination? Super affordable?? Check, check, check and check!! The new TuboHotel by T3arc in Tepoztlán, Mexico, is all this and more.
Inspired by the Das Parkhotel, the TuboHotel is a striking collection of modular rooms made of recycled concrete tubing that have been stacked in pyramids and scattered amongst orchards of limes, tecojotes, avocados, wild plums, oranges and guavas. Yet, unlike the ultra-private Das Parkhotel, these tubes feature glass openings, which provide access to the verdant view and allow sunlight to flood the space.
Each room contains a queen size bed, a desk light, a fan, towel racks and an under-the-bed storage area. Bathroom houses with private showers and toilets are available on the grounds. There's even the opportunity to take traditional Mexican cooking classes with local celebrity chef Ana Garcia (Mexico's own Rachel Ray).
All this, in Tepoztlan, Morelos, an off-the-beaten-track destination just one hour south of Mexico City that's known for its authentic Mexican village vibe, exotic ice cream flavors and the pyramid of El Tepozteco.
Oh, and remember the affordable part? Rates are just 500 pesos (that's $43 US dollars) a night!

Rated 5 out of 5 by MaxLuvsBebe from Pleasantly surprised :) I def don't regret getting this dress, especially since I got 2 for less than 1. I got both the black and coral. I'm transitioning from a jeans and t-shirt and stilettos girl to wearing simple dresses more often and this is perfect for that transition. I was worried they'd be too short or tight since I'm typically a med or 8, almost got larges then decided to go with the med, surprisingly, I could've gone for the small, but since I'm not quite hour glass and my stomach's not as flat as it used to be, I'm glad I went with the med. At 5ft6in mostly legs and measurements of 40-32-42 they land just above mid thigh and will be perfect for just about any occasion I can think of.

Information for Patients
Shoulder Injuries and Disorders
Your shoulder joint is composed of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone). Your shoulders are the most movable joints in your body. They can also be unstable because the ball of the upper arm is larger than the shoulder socket that holds it. To remain in a stable or normal position, the shoulder must be anchored by muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Because your shoulder can be unstable, it can be easily injured. Common problems include
- Sprains and strains
- Dislocations
- Separations
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Torn rotator cuffs
- Frozen shoulder
- Fractures
- Arthritis
Health care providers diagnose shoulder problems by using your medical history, a physical exam, and imaging tests.
Often, the first treatment for shoulder problems is RICE. This stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. Other treatments include exercise and medicines to reduce pain and swelling. If those don't work, you may need surgery.

Sprains and Strains
A sprain is a stretched or torn ligament. Ligaments are tissues that connect bones at a joint. Falling, twisting, or getting hit can all cause a sprain. Ankle and wrist sprains are common. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and being unable to move your joint. You might feel a pop or tear when the injury happens.
A strain is a stretched or torn muscle or tendon. Tendons are tissues that connect muscle to bone. Twisting or pulling these tissues can cause a strain. Strains can happen suddenly or develop over time. Back and hamstring muscle strains are common. Many people get strains playing sports. Symptoms include pain, muscle spasms, swelling, and trouble moving the muscle.
At first, treatment of both sprains and strains usually involves resting the injured area, icing it, wearing a bandage or device that compresses the area, and medicines. Later treatment might include exercise and physical therapy.

The hardest part of serving on the Springfield board of education is voting year after year to cut teaching positions and eliminate educational resources I know are working for students.
As hard as those votes are for me personally, I know they�re harder for students, families, teachers and the entire Springfield community.
While the teachers and staff of District 186 do all they can every day to give young people a solid foundation for success, the stark reality is that we don�t have enough money to continue offering the educational opportunities we owe the next generation.
The state education funding system is outdated and penalizes districts, such as Springfield, with high concentrations of students from low-income households. It costs more to educate students who must overcome socioeconomic barriers to success, and District 186 is committed to providing a great education to every child, regardless of family income or circumstances.
The current system fails to prioritize communities where student need is greatest and local tax revenue isn�t enough.
Senate Bill 16, a plan introduced by Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, would completely overhaul education funding so state tax dollars go where they�re needed most.
The State Board of Education projects that if this legislation passes, Springfield Public Schools could see a $2.6 million increase in state funding next year. That�s an additional $191 per student.
This increase in annual state aid would go a long way toward restoring personnel and programs and preventing further damaging cuts.
Only a few weeks are left in the legislative session, and it�s important that if you, like me, want to see our schools and students thrive, you contact your state lawmakers as soon as possible and ask them to support education funding reform.

On April 1, 2013, automatic adjustments to the dollar amounts stated in various
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and one provision in Title 28 of the United States Code will
become effective. The amended dollar amounts will apply to cases filed on or after
April 1, 2013.
In the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1994, as amended by the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention
and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, and Pub. L. No. 110-406 (2008), Congress provided for
the automatic adjustment of these dollar amounts at three-year intervals. The relevant provisions
are codified in 11 U.S.C. § 104(a). The amended dollar amounts will affect, among other
• the eligibility of a debtor to file under chapters 12 and 13 of the Bankruptcy Code
• certain maximum values of property that a debtor may claim as exempt
• the maximum amount of certain claims entitled to priority
• the calculation of the "means test" for chapter 7 debtors
• the duration of a chapter 13 plan
• the definition of a small business debtor
• the minimum aggregate value of claims needed to commence an involuntary
• the value of "luxury goods and services" deemed to be nondischargeable
• where the trustee may commence certain proceedings to recover a money
judgment or property
Follow the link to view a chart showing the affected sections of the
Bankruptcy Code and Title 28 and both the current and the revised dollar amount in those
Seven of the Official Bankruptcy Forms and two of the Director's Forms contain
