UK.gov blames human rights judgment
A plan to require registered sex offenders to notify police of their email addresses and social networking identities has been shelved while the government battles a human rights judgment in the High Court, according to the Home Office.
The measure was the centrepiece of a suite of announcements on child protection on and offline in early April last year, but no detailed proposals have since emerged.
At the time Jacqui Smith said failure by the more than 30,000 registered sex offenders to supply online identities or supplying false identities would attract up to a five year jail term. "We need to patrol the internet to keep predators away from children in the same way as we patrol the real world," she told the breakfast television show GMTV.
However, in December the High Court found that indefinitely retaining details on the Sex Offenders Register with no right to appeal was a breach of offenders' human rights under European law.
A Home Office spokesman said officals had decided not to try to extend the reach of the sex offenders register online while government lawyers appeal that decision. He said the case had "an impact" on notification requirements, but was not able to explain how.
Other planned changes to the register, such as a trial of "Sarah's Law" allowing parents to demand details of sex offenders, have gone ahead.
The NSPCC, which supported plans to monitor internet use by sex offenders, said it had not heard of any developments. "It's hard to comment as we don't know enough about where this email register idea has got to," a spokesman said.
The policy was heavily criticised when it was announced by internet experts, who said the profusion of free email and social networking services and the simplicity of setting up new accounts would make it unworkable.
The Home Office said the government remains committed to collecting sex offender email addresses and social networking identities, which was first mooted by then-Home Secretary John Reid in February 2007. Last year it said the details of monitoring sex offenders' online identities would be handled by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP).
CEOP declined to comment on progress, saying policy announcements were a matter for the Home Office. ®

Still not brilliant, but not completely awful. Averages 45 with a strike rate of 111 as skipper too. I don't think he's as bad a T20 player as people make out, and with Warner, Watson, the Hussey's, White and Haddin around him he can get away with striking at 120. He's hardly Chris Tavare.

From LinuxMIPS
MIPS64 is less a processor type than a processor architecture though it's often used to describe a processor architecture. To increase the confusion the term MIPS64 is also often used to indicate a generic 64-bit MIPS microprocessor. The MIPS64 ISA page describes the instruction set of MIPS64 microprocessors and how it relates to other MIPS architectures.

MMxpt has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solutions is available.

2. Re: Vista Compatible?timsansom Jan 31, 2007 8:34 PM (in response to jimotr)yeah i have windows VISTA Ultimate X64 edition and i managed to get the application to install but then when i try to run it i get this error " Could not find the Flash Paper Printer Please Reinstall Flash Paper Printer Flash paper Printer Will now Close" this isnt going to be the same issue as with acrobat ans post script Drivers for X64 os's????
i do hope not!!!!
come on adobe get ya fingers to work... create the Drivers or updates that we need!!!
3. Re: Vista Compatible?chrisbco02 Feb 1, 2007 7:41 PM (in response to timsansom)yeah similar to my problem in xp 64 bit edition..... thanks for the worthless software adobe.
4. Re: Vista firstname.lastname@example.com Feb 7, 2007 11:59 AM (in response to jimotr)I got the MMxpt not working error as well. Looks like this is not an isolated incident. How about a solution Adobe?
5. Vista Compatible?AdamCrownoble Feb 9, 2007 11:40 AM (in response to jimotr)I had some luck but it's still not working very well. It's been a few weeks since I did this so I may still be a bit fuzzy with the details.
Basically I ran MMLicenseMgr.exe in C:/Program Files/Macromedia/FlashPaper 2/MLM as an administrator to register the project. Then I ran the regular install (as an administrator I think). When I was done I was able to print to FlashPaper from most applications as long as I ran them as an administrator.
I hope that helps some of you until Adobe releases a fix.
6. Re: Vista Compatible?Pea-Jay Feb 10, 2007 3:58 PM (in response to AdamCrownoble)I came to the forum to ask why my FlashPaper no longer works. Hmmm..............looks like the problem is Windows Vista?
I am having problems running a lot of the software I ran on WinXP Pro. I'm really disappointed because there is no choice -- it's a monopoly. If you buy a new computer, it has Vista.
And Windows didn't give people enough time to get their software updated for the new OS, so many software companies do not support WIN Vista at all. I have found that to be the case with a lot of software I ran before.
So on Flash Paper, I used to be able to print anything in FP, and now it just sits there TRYING to configure to do the print process but does nothing.
I'm disappointed as I used it a lot.

I too cant get mine to work - i'm using the 32bit version (business edition for what it's worth, but that doesnt change much). I dont agree that "windows" (i.e. microsoft) didnt give enough time. RC1 was in September, and no major changes have really happend. Further more, the RTM was in November, so we're now february.
The message i get is that Flashapper is trying to show a message. I click on the message box , and it sends me to this strange screen with nothing buy the flashpaper exe, and the fact it is processing. alas that's as far as it goes. Could Adobe get a patch for this please?!
I use it for both Flashpaper and PDF loads, and buying Acrobat doesnt solve the problem as I want it in flash . I know it's getting quite old, but i bought Studio 8 - there is no more modern version. No doubt Adobe will axe Flashpaper anyway, but for us loyal customers out there, a fix - or at least some workarounds, or comment (i have seen none...i'll keep looking) from Adobe about what we are supposed to do.
My only real other option is to use PDF and XPS add ons in Office 2007, and XPS for everything else that is not from Office... But i know Adobe arent too hot on that idea!! :-). BUt quite seriously here: i'm now in a poition where Flashpaper has not been a very well suported format. WHen macromeida released it, they did nothing buy claim it was better than PDF - even doing side by side comparisons on size etc. NOw Adobe has bought macromedia up, i kind of find my huge library of FlashPaper is sort of redundant (even if flash lives on).

I agree. I used FP for a lot of client work and I miss being able to use it. I sure oppose the way Microsoft just forces the public to use a new OS (Vista) if you buy a new computer built around Vista, but then the software is all outdated and most companies are not going to cater to Vista until there are enough users out there. I don't think it'll be long, however, because ANY new computer now is VISTA, Sonys, HPs, etc... But I'd like my stuff to work NOW not 6 months from now or never. :o(
9. Re: Vista Compatible?rritts Feb 14, 2007 3:24 AM (in response to jimotr)After reading all of these posts, I need some advice. I used RoboPDF to create PDF documents from Word. Really, that's all I need to do. I was forced to get a new computer last week due to the untimely death of my laptop and, of course, it had Vista.
As I soon found out, RoboPDF doesn't work on Vista is no longer a supported product. In my haste to get back up and running quickly, I dropped $80 and bought Flash Paper only to find out that it doesn't work either.
I am still within my 30 days return period and want to know if anyone thinks I should hope and pray this will be resolved before then or if I should return it. (An OFFICIAL reply from Adobe would be nice.)
Are there any other products that will enable me to create PDF document from Word?
10. Re: Vista Compatible?JimRey Feb 14, 2007 10:41 AM (in response to rritts)I would suggest you get a refund. Google the internet for products that convert Word to PDF. Most likely it will be 'print driver', like Adobe's Distiller. Meaning when you go to print you'll select the new printer driver vice your normal printer and this will convert it from Word to PDF.
Hope this helps.
11. Re: Vista Compatible?Kayro11 Feb 20, 2007 2:10 PM (in response to AdamCrownoble)I get the same error message when trying to run the MMLicenseMgr.exe Any other suggestions?
12. Vista Compatible?shockthetoast Feb 23, 2007 12:07 AM (in response to jimotr)I don't know if any of you have used CutePDF (www.cutepdf.com), but it's a great, free PDF printer. I went looking for it again when FlashPaper refused to work on Vista. It currently supports Vista (including x64, which I have so I can confirm this). Just install it, and then when it asks to download and install the other component, say yes.
Now if you get an error like I did, don't worry. You can still get it to work.
A search through their FAQs shows how to fix this printer install error - unfortunately the fix doesn't work in Vista quite as reported. This is how I got it towork. After install (ignore the install errors, as long as you have the latest version installed) open the printers folder. Right click and go to "run as administrator --> add printer". Select local printer. If the CW2 port shows up, select that, else select "create new port" and choose "cutepdf writer monitor". Then for the printer model, select basically anything (you could do a have disk I suspect, if you could find where the files are). Name the printer CutePDF Writer Then after the printer is created, go to the printer's properties. (select it and choose "set printer properties" from the bar at top of the folder). Go to the advanced tab. Under driver, use the drop down and select "CutePDF Writer".
This worked like a charm for me. Hopefully it will be of some use to others until Adobe gets a FlashPaper patch out.
13. Re: Vista Compatible?boone51 Mar 2, 2007 10:29 AM (in response to jimotr)As far as I can tell from Adobe's official press release on the matter, there are no plans for Adobe to do antyhing about this. In their official reponse ( http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/adobe_products_and_windows_vista.pdf) they say that flashpaper "installs and runs with minimal known issues" which is absolutely incorrect, but it appears to be a blanket statement they're attaching to all of their products they apparently never tested on Vista.
I wouldn't anticipate Adobe ever delivering a patch for flashpaper on Vista.
It would appear that their efforts are focused on their new initiatves at the peril of any compatibility patches for older Macromedia products.
14. Re: Vista Compatible?boone51 Mar 2, 2007 10:39 AM (in response to jimotr)ammendment to my previous post: I didn't really mean to leave the last part on my post about the "apparently never tested on Vista". After I typed that I realized that it's quite possible that the version of software they tested on or the version fo Vista they tested against didn't have a compatibility issue. I have no way of knowing whther or not they tested this beyond what they say in this press release, but it at first glance it would appear that it wasn't tested on an official release of Vista. Again, this is purely seculation.
17. Re: Vista Compatible?byNeutral Mar 9, 2007 2:58 AM (in response to jimotr)I think that the ex Macromedia have done a really bad move choosing Adobe!
Anyway boone51, i think you was right because they have removed the pdf and no one seem interested in give us some answers ^_^''
18. Re: Vista Compatible?boone51 Mar 10, 2007 5:33 PM (in response to jimotr)To be fair, Macromedia didn't "choose" Adobe.
19. Re: Vista Compatible?Sayne1 May 21, 2007 7:55 PM (in response to jimotr)First of all, I am not experiencing any of the errors you report. My problem is this: I have installed Contribute and FlashPaper successfully (no installation errors reported). However, after I select Macromedia FlashPaper as my printer for a particular job, the print queues correctly, no error printing appears, but nothing else happens… AT ALL! No FlashPaper file, no popup error, nothing.
If Adobe can, in good conscience charge an exorbitant price for its software, then it behooves them to support those products. Damn what Microsoft has done, fix YOUR product!
I really can't believe your solution is to "Install FlashPaper on a supported operating system…"
Oh, really? Would you like to hear that from your car dealer?
"Oh, sorry to hear your new $50 thousand car doesn't work. You should just drive your old one, instead."
You'd go as crazy as I'm getting!
Please, do something.

20. Re: Vista Compatible?Andrade_Nation May 29, 2007 7:51 AM (in response to jimotr)Contribute 3.x with FlashPaper... that install of FlashPaper does not work on Vista at all.
Contribute 4 with FlashPaper... installed and works splendidly on Vista... almost faster than XP.
It isn't included with CS3 of course, but if you have your copy of Contribute 4, then have at it... works great.
21. Re: Vista Compatible?lfrazer Jun 1, 2007 9:33 AM (in response to Andrade_Nation)I received the same message, MMxpt stop working, upon upgrading Contribute 3 to version 3.11 on Vista Bus. Enterprise.
Not too familiar with FlashPaper and wanted to uninstall to resolve, but could not find 'quick' way to do so. My workaround
was to run Contribute in compability mode for XP SP2 and also select "Run as Administrator'. User is member of admin group,
but without that box checked error will reoccur even when in compability mode.
22. Re: Vista Compatible?tp11235 Jun 3, 2007 8:19 AM (in response to jimotr)I think the problem is with Flashpaper.
I love the product - I use it to turn teaching powerpoints etc. into .swf for posting on websites - it it great so please don't axe it.
1. It runs perfectly for me on Vista Business, installed first time and never gives me any grief.
2. It used to run perfectly for me on XP Pro on a home desktop machine.
3. It has never worked for me on my work laptop (also XP Pro) - it just hangs with the "working.." pop-up. If I close that I get a printing error in the print manager window.
I suspect there is a problem with the way it accesses the print manager.

24. Re: Vista Compatible?jennie444 Jun 10, 2007 5:50 PM (in response to email@example.com)I am experiencing the same problem....I download the flash player yet I cannot utilize the java script...please help me out!!!
25. Re: Vista Compatible?vista_brian Jun 12, 2007 1:34 PM (in response to tp11235)What is the correct link to your fix? I tired it and must not be there anymore. Please let us know what to do to get this to work in Vista!!
26. Re: Vista Compatible?Atrozoom Jun 17, 2007 4:10 PM (in response to jimotr)So, hey Adobe, is there going to be an update to Flash Paper that will work on Vista without having to tweak the flange grommet or reloading the protocol stack? If this functionality is incorporated with another "Adobe" product I would loooove to know what it is. Just tell me and I would be happy to buy it.
27. Re: Vista Compatible?bikerguy12 Jul 16, 2007 7:44 AM (in response to Atrozoom)Right,
I have spoken to Adobe (on the phone) and they say in short unless you have the CS2 version they don't care.
All the other versions don't work and they aren't going to do anything about it as they are no longer covered by support (If you have the CS2 version, call them to fix).
This really annoys me as I have paid for this product and it doesn't work and my friend didn't and cracked it and his still works perfectly.
I have found that if you put the Contribute CD in and run a repair it will load up and work but when you close it again it won't open unless you run the install fix again.
By the way the above link doesn't work!
For the record I hate adobe help they are useless I have emailed them and called them many times over the last 4 years and they have never sorted out a single problem, it has always been users who have helped me out or uploaded a patch!
I won't be using adobe products again and I suggest that every one else seriously reconsiders there loyalty to adobe if this is the level service you can expect
The amount of time I have spent on the help pages, phone and emails I probably could have written a program that actually works! (And paid for the product 12 times over)
The seriously disappointed customer (maybe I should just get an illegal version)
28. Re: Vista Compatible?JaapEric Aug 2, 2007 4:21 AM (in response to Pea-Jay)My solution: installed Microsoft Virtual PC and installed XP + Flashpaper on it. Works great!
29. Re: Vista Compatible?god_is_love Aug 5, 2007 3:31 PM (in response to JaapEric)My corporation would like to invest in FlashPaper but we are all using Vista. Currently there is no feedback from Adobe if this product is discontinued or not. It still hold the title "Macromedia FlashPaper"... hmmm.
TO ADOBE: Please let us know what the future of this product is!!!
30. Re: Vista Compatible?Hioctane Aug 9, 2007 11:40 AM (in response to god_is_love)A very simple solution
I had this problem today and I Fixed it by running the Program compatibilty wizard built into Vista. Just be sure to select the compatibility mode for WinXP and to run the program as an administrator.
31. Re: Vista Compatible?Osirisko Dec 10, 2007 4:44 PM (in response to vista_brian)The solution is very simple.
- Right click on the Macromedia FlashPaper 2 shortcut
- Choose Run as administrator

How to make FlashPaper2 work on Vista (click here)
33. Re: Vista Compatible?kyleleitch May 7, 2008 8:58 PM (in response to shockthetoast)I installed CutePDF and it works perfectly. I've always used FlashPaper to print sheet music to PDF files and CutePDF works even more flawlessly and simply! No need for Acrobat Pro or FlashPaper anymore! Thanks to njdoor for suggesting that!!!

It currently supports Vista (including x64, which I have so I can confirm this). Just install it, and then when it asks to download and install the other component, say yes.
Now if you get an error like I did, don't worry. You can still get it to work.
A search through their FAQs shows how to fix this printer install error - unfortunately the fix doesn't work in Vista quite as reported. This is how I got it towork. After install (ignore the install errors, as long as you have the latest version installed) open the printers folder. Right click and go to "run as administrator --> add printer". Select local printer. If the CW2 port shows up, select that, else select "create new port" and choose "cutepdf writer monitor". Then for the printer model, select basically anything (you could do a have disk I suspect, if you could find where the files are). Name the printer CutePDF Writer Then after the printer is created, go to the printer's properties. (select it and choose "set printer properties" from the bar at top of the folder). Go to the advanced tab. Under driver, use the drop down and select "CutePDF Writer".
This worked like a charm for me. Hopefully it will be of some use to others until Adobe gets a FlashPaper patch out.

Too buggy for me, thats surprising coming from adobe.
38. Re: Vista Compatible?burgerthyme Dec 6, 2011 1:21 PM (in response to iiguana69)
I am using Contribute 3 and Flashpaper on Windows 7 and getting the exact same error message. I checked run as admin for all users and checked to run in compatibility mode for XP also. I then logged in as a local administrator and was able to activate the software. Logged back in as a regular user and it worked.

A day after a season-ending loss in the first round of the playoffs, Washington's John Wall said it's up to management to shed players who don't want to be there and add players who will help the team's consistency.
Marcin Gortat says John Wall and Bradley Beal are a perfect fit game and personality-wise. "I watched [Wall and Beal play] for five years... they fit each other perfectly because one guy handles the ball, pushes hard, the other guy is a great shooter, great athlete," Gortat said. "They are both different. Ice and fire I would say. They respect and value different things in life. One guy is super loud, the other guy is super quiet. Sometimes when you are playing with John, you at some point are like, can you please [not] speak anymore and when he is actually missing [due to injury], you have Brad and [it's] like, can you please say something? They complement each other perfectly. I mean, listen, you make playoffs four out of five years, that is pretty good."
Marcin Gortat said any speculation about friction between him and John Wall or internally with the team was "nonsense." "We are definitely on the same page, we had great chemistry toward the end of the year," Gortat said. "Stuff that came out in the middle of the season was mostly created unfortunately by you guys, by a lot of people that has no clue of what is going on with the team. Whatever stuff that came out about me and John, it is all nonsense and stuff that is unnecessary… we did talk about a lot of things and we have no issues. I mean [supposedly] having all those issues and the next game he passes me the ball eight times and I give him eight assists and I have eight buckets? I mean come on, if I were pissed at somebody, I wouldn't probably pass him the ball. We are good. Are we best friends and like the greatest friends? Probably not. But I am not best friends with probably half of the team over there."
Marcin Gortat said he's read how people have written how he's gotten old and he's adamant that he has plenty left in the tank. He made it clear he hates when the Wizards and other teams go small, stating that "small ball is trash." Gortat doesn't know what the Wizards will do with him entering the final year of his deal but he made it clear he can still play.

The country's survival depends on water management, and its political structures allow for decisive, speedy action.
In his brilliant apocalyptic short story "The Netherlands Lives with Water," American writer Jim Shepard imagines a time in the not-so-distant future when the city of Rotterdam is overwhelmed by flooding coming from two directions – a storm surge from the North Sea and a riverine deluge cascading down from the rain-soaked mountains of Europe. His narrator is a Rotterdam native and flood control expert who outlines in a few deft sentences the essence of the Dutch relationship with their sodden landscape:
It's the catastrophe for which the Dutch have been planning for fifty years. Or, really, for as long as we've existed. We had cooperative water management before we had a state. The one created the other; either we pulled together as a collective or got swept away as individuals.
That collectivist attitude to survival has spurred the Dutch to create some of the world's most innovative and effective anti-flooding measures. And as climate change grinds along, global sea levels rise, and coastal areas around the world are becoming more and more familiar with inundation, the water-savvy citizens of this tiny nation have found themselves suddenly in fashion.
Dutch experts have been invited to Thailand, where 2011 floods soaked 65 of the nation's 77 provinces, overwhelmed large parts of Bangkok for weeks, and killed more than 800 people. Dutch consultants created flood simulation models, inspected failing dikes, and advised the government to implement an "integrated water plan," rather than relying on "the usual ad hoc engineering approach." They have done similar work in dozens of nations around the world , including Vietnam, Romania, Indonesia – and the United States. For the Dutch, water management is a growth industry.
Dale Morris , an American economist, has been working for the Dutch government on its U.S.-based efforts since the post-Katrina period, mostly in Louisiana, Florida, and California. He has seen how his colleagues not only disseminate their ideas to the rest of the world, but also how they learn new strategies from the nations where they're working. Morris has become conversant in Dutch flood control engineering techniques – barriers, dikes, floodwater retention, and the like – but he is also keenly aware of the societal mindset that undergirds the Dutch approach. That mindset, he says, is significantly different from the American one for a host of historical reasons.
American cities such as New Orleans, New York, Sacramento, and Norfolk, Virginia, face not just rising waters, but also political obstacles unknown to the Dutch when it comes to water management and flood protection, says Morris.
"The Dutch have in some ways an easy problem to solve," he says. "The entire nation is at risk if the western portion floods. So the entire country is united. It's not a question of should we do [flood protection], but how."

2013 in Review
This is part of a series of year-in-review reports over the next two weeks. For more year-end coverage, visit our special section online.
And if the Detroit beat this year could be summed up in two words, it would be these: Kevyn Orr. Detroit's emergency manager, along with a legion of consultants, is trying to restructure the city's government and clear its books of an estimated $18 billion in debt and pension and health care liabilities.
The top stories this year are no surprise: The city's bankruptcy and Orr's appointment. But there were plenty of other important ones, including the possible sale of the Detroit Institute of Arts collection, a proposed regionalization of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department and the creation of an authority tasked with repairing Detroit's 88,000 streetlights, about half of which aren't working.
It wasn't all doom and gloom. Outgoing Mayor Dave Bing and business leaders struck an agreement that replaced portions of the city's aging public safety vehicle fleet, and a young businessman with a well-known name started a nonprofit to eradicate blight in the city, an effort which eventually could cost up to $1.5 billion.
While Orr — at least until September — will remain EM for the majority of next year, Detroit residents also elected a crop of new leaders, including a new mayor and the first city council to be elected by district in nearly a century. When Orr leaves Detroit, Mike Duggan and the nine city council members will return to power.
Here's a look at some of the year's top stories from the city of Detroit:
- Orr filed paperwork to take Detroit through the Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy process on July 18. Four and a half months later, on Dec. 3, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes ruled that the city met the eligibility requirements to proceed in the case in an effort to restructure an estimated $18 billion in debt and pension and health care liabilities.
- Gov. Rick Snyder named Orr, a former Washington, D.C. bankruptcy attorney with Jones Day, Detroit's emergency manager in March. The state's three-member Local Emergency Financial Assistance Loan Board approved his appointment and a $275,000-per-year salary.
- Former Detroit Medical Center president and CEO Mike Duggan won the Nov. 5 mayoral general election over Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon, 55 percent to 45 percent. Duggan and Napoleon were the top two vote-getters in the Aug. 6 primary election in which Duggan ran as a write-in candidate after being booted from the ballot by two separate courts. Duggan is sworn in Jan. 1.
- Orr notified the DIA and other city assets this spring that they could face exposure to creditors in the city's Chapter 9 case, prompting both the museum and New York City-based auction house Christie's Appraisals Inc. to develop plans to leverage the art collection without selling it. Christie's appraised the city-owned portion of the collection — about 2,700 pieces out of 66,000 total — at between $452 million and $866 million earlier this month.
- In February, the Detroit City Council approved creation of the Detroit Public Lighting Authority, which is expected to use about $160 million in bond money to repair the city's broken streetlights, about half of which do not work. The state Legislature approved the law at the end of last year. The improvements are expected to come in phases over three years.
- The city entered a 30-year lease agreement for Belle Isle with the state in November. The lease is expected to save Detroit at least $4 million annually, and the state is expected to make $10 million to $20 million in improvements in the next three years. The city council offered a counterproposal of a 10-year lease, but the state's loan board approved the 30-year lease instead.
- Orr has proposed regionalizing the DWSD. Under the regionalization, the proposed Metropolitan Area Water and Sewer Authority would operate the DWSD through a concession agreement or via a lease of water department assets. The regionalization is intended, in part, to save money through lower bond interest rates on $1.2 billion in needed capital improvements because "Detroit" wouldn't be in the name of the new authority.
- Bill Pulte, the managing partner of Pulte Capital Partners LLC and grandson of William Pulte, founder of Bloomfield Hills-based PulteGroup Inc., founded the Detroit Blight Authority in February. The nonprofit razes large, blighted areas at one time instead of focusing on individual blighted buildings throughout the city. Its two pilot areas are near the Eastern Market district and Brightmoor on the city's northwest side.
- A group of business leaders and Mayor Dave Bing strike an $8 million deal to lease 23 EMS rigs and about 100 police patrol cars for the city. The vehicles are not city property, but are instead leased by the Downtown Detroit Partnership.

When Jerusalem fell in 70 AD, hundreds of Jews journeyed through the desert and settled in the haven of Masada. In what is now southern Israel, Masada was an old fortress of King Herod's that sits atop an enormous rock plateau surrounded by steep cliffs.
"When I was there, I felt so moved and so connected," author Alice Hoffman tells Laura Sullivan, guest host of weekends on All Things Considered.
Hoffman was so struck by the beauty of Masada's rocky terrain, she says, that she chose to make it the backdrop in her new novel, The Dovekeepers.
A Tragic Tale
Back home in Boston, Hoffman began to read about Masada and learned that only two women and five children survived when the Romans laid siege there in 72 A.D. Before the Romans could break through its defenses, the community killed itself.
"As soon as I heard that, I felt that I'd found my novel," she says.
Hoffman has written almost 30 novels and many have been compared to modern-day fairy tales. The Dovekeepers, which follows four women and their fight to survive after the fall of Jerusalem, is her first foray into fiction with a historic backdrop.
"Many of the things in the book are artifacts that are found in the Masada Museum," Hoffman says. For instance, there's a tartan plaid fabric that belongs to one of the characters. "When I saw the artifacts that belonged to the real people who lived there — you know, the makeup, the makeup palettes, the amulets, the shoes — it really felt alive to me."
Finding Hope
One of the main characters, Revka, is a baker's wife who saw her daughter murdered and was left to care for her grandchildren. Hoffman says it was difficult to write about the violence and the trauma, but she knew it was a fundamental part of the story.
"Beginning a book about Masada was the first time I knew, in a way, what the ending would be," Hoffman says. "I knew 900 Jews would commit mass suicide, and, for me, I had to find the hope within that."
The inside story, Hoffman says, is one of forgiveness. Although each of the women in her novel has been hurt, they all find some sort of solace in Masada.
It's WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Laura Sullivan.
When Jerusalem fell in 70 A.D., a group of Jews journeyed through the desert and settled in a placed called Masada. It's an ancient fortress atop an enormous rock plateau surrounded by steep cliffs, and what is now southern Israel.
ALICE HOFFMAN: (Reading) Although it was said that Masada could never fall and that God had made this mountain for the purpose of our rebellion, I wondered how long we could endure a siege should the Romans come. The storerooms of the king could not sustain us forever. Herod's oil and wine and lintels had fed us, but they were no more. Now, the rats rolled the storerooms. It was rumored they had been brought here by the Romans, purposely left behind in case our people ever took back this fortress so they might bring us disaster, devouring what little we had left.
SULLIVAN: That's author Alice Hoffman reading from her new book "The Dovekeepers." Hoffman has written almost 30 novels, and many have been compared to modern-day fairy tales. "The Dovekeepers" is her first foray into fiction with a historic backdrop. This book follows four women and their fight to survive after the fall of Jerusalem.
Alice Hoffman joins me in our Washington, D.C., studio. Alice, thank you so much for coming in.
HOFFMAN: Oh, thank you.
SULLIVAN: In your research for this book, I understand you visited the Masada excavation site in Israel. Did you know when you went there that you were going to write a book about what you saw there, or did it come to you when you were there?
HOFFMAN: It came to me when I was there. I felt so moved and so connected. And then when I got home, I started to read about Masada, and I read Josephus' account - it's the only account of the fortress. And he said that two women and five children survived, and they were the ones who told the story to the Romans and to the rest of the world. And as soon as I heard that, I felt that I'd found my novel.
SULLIVAN: Now, this is the first time that you've really based one of your novels in a historical event.
HOFFMAN: Yes. It is. I've written teen novels that are historical novels. I wrote one about The Inquisition, and I wrote another one that took place during the Bronze Age. But this was a huge undertaking, and I had never done anything like this.
SULLIVAN: Was it hard to do the research? I mean, was it a new experience in a lot of ways?
HOFFMAN: Well, it was really difficult for me because, you know, I'm not a historian. I've been a visiting scholar at Brandeis, but I'm not a historian. And what was really interesting is that there's almost nothing about women in the ancient world. There are no stories. So in a way, that was very freeing for me to use archaeological evidence and create my own stories.
SULLIVAN: What kind of research did you do to put this book together?
HOFFMAN: Well, I did a lot of reading and I really used a lot of archaeological evidence. I think one of the reasons is my son is an archaeology student, so I was pulled into that arena. And many, many of the things that are in the book are artifacts that are found in the Masada Museum. For instance, there's a tartan plaid fabric that belongs to one of the characters in "The Dovekeeper." There's also the hair and shoes of a character. When I saw the artifacts that belonged to the real people who lived there - you know, the makeup, the makeup palettes, the amulets, the shoes - it really felt alive to me.
SULLIVAN: When you go through the process of developing these characters, which are all four very strong women, how do you find four such distinct personalities and keep them all separate in your own mind?
HOFFMAN: Well, they felt very, very separate to me, and it was only after I finished writing the book that I really realized that they really all are parts of me, that if I divided myself into quarters, it would be these four women.
SULLIVAN: Even the witch?
HOFFMAN: Oh, yeah. Definitely.
SULLIVAN: One of those four characters was Revka, who just had been through an extraordinary amount of trauma. Tell me more about her.
HOFFMAN: Yeah. Well, she's kind of the older, wise woman of the group who leads a perfectly normal life at the time and then a tragedy comes to her, as it does to most of us at some point. And she loses both her husband and her daughter, and her whole world is shaken, her whole belief system, her faith, everything. The only really reason that she survives is because she has grandchildren, and there's no one to take care of them but her.
SULLIVAN: I mean, her daughter died a horrible death, and her children for a long time couldn't speak because of it. Was it hard to write about that kind of torture and trauma?
HOFFMAN: It was very hard to write about it. And, you know, the funny thing for me - beginning a book about Masada was the first time I knew, in a way, what the ending was going to be. I knew 900 Jews would commit mass suicide. And for me, I had to find hope within that, the inside story, and I think I did that with these women.
SULLIVAN: I'm speaking with Alice Hoffman about her new book "The Dovekeepers." It tells a story of four women fighting for their lives after the fall of Jerusalem.
Aziza was raised as a boy. And then she became a very skilled fighter in the book.
HOFFMAN: Yeah.
SULLIVAN: What was your inspiration for her?
HOFFMAN: Well, you know, I actually think - I've been thinking about this for a long time because I had written a book about colonial Massachusetts. And when I read about people signing up for Massachusetts for the Civil War, I read about a lot of women who would disguise themselves as men and go to war sometimes to take the place of a man. And I've been thinking a lot about women as warriors, so it just was a natural progression to write about that in "The Dovekeepers."
SULLIVAN: Well, there isn't a lot of historical document that we would have of women being such heroic fighters and skilled fighters. And it could have been possible...
HOFFMAN: It could have been possible.
SULLIVAN: ...but we simply just don't know. And it's certainly not what we're all stepped in the knowledge. We always have this vision of the men fighting, especially during this time period.
HOFFMAN: And that's so true, that the story didn't come down to us. You know one of the books that I wrote for teens called "The Foretelling" that takes place in the Bronze Age is about a group of women warriors. Based on archeological finds again, these women were found in caves buried with their weapons and their horses. So what the true story of women as warriors really is, is very difficult to know.
SULLIVAN: Each of the women in this book have been hurt in some significant way...
HOFFMAN: Mm. Yeah.
SULLIVAN: ...but they all seem to find a sense of solace in Masada, with each other and coming together, and even in the end, even though the end is not necessarily a happy ending.
HOFFMAN: Yeah.
SULLIVAN: Did you intent to do that?
HOFFMAN: You know, I think very often, a writer doesn't know what she intends to do. And I think that there's an outside story and an inside story. And as I was writing, I think I discovered the inside story was all about forgiveness and the ability to forgive, which I find very difficult to do. But I think that's really at the core of all of these women stories.
SULLIVAN: So you've written almost 30 books...
HOFFMAN: Mm.
SULLIVAN: ...so far. How - I mean, you must be writing these very fast.
HOFFMAN: I am a fast writer. I go over in my writing. I write lots of different drafts, but my initial draft usually is very fast. And I think that's because when I started out, I had a short story published and a very famous editor wrote to me and asked me if I had a novel. And I wrote back that day and said, yes I do, and I started writing.
HOFFMAN: And I wrote as fast as I could, and in six months, I had a novel to send to him.
SULLIVAN: Wow.
HOFFMAN: So I think that was my early training.
SULLIVAN: And then you go back, and it sounds like you're taking an axe to the original draft, not a scalpel.
HOFFMAN: Oh, an axe. I really believe that. I really believe it. Sometimes you have to get rid of the parts that you love the best about a book.
SULLIVAN: That's Alice Hoffman, author of the new novel "The Dovekeepers," and she joined me here in our Washington, D.C. studio. Alice, thank you so much for coming in.
HOFFMAN: Oh, it's a pleasure. Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Thank's for helping out.
Hello Roger!
Thank's for helping me out at the Canadian Hole an other day.two days ago.More like to help everyone on the beach with advices.
(Roger geared up the right way my sail, toght me some tricks,also came after me when I was in deep trouble out in the water.)

RE: Thank's for helping out.
Hi Joe,
I didn't really "come after you" so to speak, but whenever I see someone down in the water for more time that it takes to waterstart or uphaul, I kinda just go by and check. Funny stuff happens out on the water, especially when it's deep. So using the "buddy system" really works. Fortunately it was only a simply mast disconnect (which I may have caused by not fully clipping in your Chinook adapter) but getting a mast foot reconnected on a Rio Large in deep water is sure no fun.
I'd suggest a seat type harness (if you don't already have one) for use on your Rio L.
You will soon be out in the footstraps, all the way back and flying over the water, and for a larger rig, and the big wide board, I think a seat harness works the best.
If you aren't getting hooked in all the time, maybe get a waist harness as well as they are a bit easier to learn with.
Hope this helps,

Our top played St. Louis artists this week are:
Local New Releases:
Nightmoves is the 2nd album from the St. Louis punk rock trio, Sex Robots. The album shows the group's influence from the Jam and Buzzcocks with fast electric guitar and prominent drums combined with clever lyrics that have a pop sensibility.
Favorite track: "Not Gonna Take My Heart"
Art Majors – The War of Wealth
Art Majors presents a saturated, lusty, Indie-garage rock sound locked together by Michael Roche's yearning baritone. This band is great at building momentum and tension and sustaining it. Percussion is fairly unconventional, hiding behind and supporting their round instrumental sound rather than overwhelming it. The War of Wealth features some lovely organ work, especially "Race From The Hotel" (probably the best one here). "Guillermo" gives a great taste of the band's ability to create balanced interplay and "Flor De Mariposa" is a wistful tune bordering on the ethereal.
Favorite track: "Race From The Hotel"
If you are in a St. Louis band and would like your cd considered for airplay and a review, email email@example.com.

Hofstra Edges Delaware, 12-11, For First CAA Win At Big City Classic
April 10, 2010
Courtesy of Hofstra
East Rutherford, NJ - Jay Card and Kevin Ford each scored three goals and Stephen Bentz added two to lead the 10th-ranked Hofstra Pride to a 12-11 CAA victory over the Delaware Blue Hens in the Konica-Minolta Big City Classic at the New Meadowlands Stadium Saturday afternoon. The Pride, who won their second consecutive game, improve to 7-3 on the year and 1-2 in the CAA. Delaware, which dropped its second consecutive game, fall to 5-6 overall and 0-2 in league play.
Card, a junior, tallied a game-high six points on three goals and three assists with classmate Bentz adding two goals and two assists. Ford, a sophomore who returned to action after missing the previous two games with a foot injury, scored three goals and added one assist. Hofstra sophomore goalie Andrew Gvozden stopped 11 shots in the Pride cage for his second win of the year. The Blue Hens of Delaware were led by senior Curtis Dickson with four goals while senior Martin Cahill added two assists. Junior Noah Fossner made 10 saves in the Blue Hens' cage.
The first half featured four lead changes and five tied scores. The Pride would use a five-goal run near the end of the first half and into the third quarter to pull away from the Blue Hens. Ford opened the scoring in the contest 6:11 into the first quarter recording his seventh of the season, on a bullet from the middle of the box, for a 1-0 lead. But the Blue Hens responded with three unanswered goals as Dickson notched his 39th and 40th goals of the year around a Nick Elsmo goal to give Delaware a 3-1 lead with 4:37 to play in the first quarter. Card would notch his first of the game and 20th of the season with 1:04 to play in the period to close the deficit to 3-2 after one quarter.
Dickson boosted the Blue Hens' lead back to two at 4-2 with a man-up goal, from Cahill, 53 seconds into the second quarter before Hofstra scored unanswered goals by Ford, Bentz and freshman Adrian Sorichetti, in a three minute span, to take a 5-4 lead. But the Blue Hens came right back with sophomore Grant Kaleikau scoring his ninth of the year at the 6:58 mark and John Austin notching his ninth 37 seconds later to give UD a 6-5 advantage.
Hofstra's high-scoring junior Jamie Lincoln tallied his 29th goal of the year, from Card, with 4:03 to play in the half to tie the game before the Blue Hens' Chris Hichborn scored his eighth goal of the year less than a minute later to give Delaware a 7-6 lead. It would be the Blue Hens last lead of the contest as Bentz would score a man-up goal, from Card, with 27 seconds to play in the half, and Card would score his second of the game and 21st of the year, from freshman face-off man John Antoniades, seven seconds later to give the Pride an 8-7 lead at halftime.
In the third quarter, Ford continued the Hofstra run with a man-up goal from Card 30 seconds in and Card completed his third hat-trick of the year seven minutes later, from Bentz, to boost the Pride lead to 10-7. Sophomore Brad Loizeaux added his 13th of the season with 5:59 to play in the third to give Hofstra the biggest lead of the game at 11-7. Dickson would score his 42nd just 35 second before the end of the quarter to close the Delaware gap to 11-8.
Hofstra senior Dan Stein gave the Pride a four-goal lead 2:34 into the fourth quarter with his sixth goal of the year. The Blue Hens closed on goals by Kevin Kaminski at the 6:38 mark and Dom Sebastian 21 seconds later to close to 12-10. But Taylor Burns' first goal of the season with two seconds remaining was not enough as the Pride posted its fourth straight victory over their longtime conference rivals. Hofstra now leads the series, 23-10.
The Pride outshot Delaware, 34-33, with the Blue Hens picking up 31 ground balls to Hofstra's 29. Delaware also captured 19 of 27 face-offs.
Hofstra, the CAA preseason favorite, will be looking to keep its conference tournament qualification hopes alive when the Pride return to action next Saturday, April 17 when they travel to State College, Pennsylvania to face Penn State. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

all those rumors about the late, great, domino magazine being revived seem to be true! just got the following press release, and on facebook, the long dormant domino magazine page is inviting peeps to follow them on twitter, and to "stay tuned for future updates!"
matt sanders, has confirmed it all on twitter. will it be a print mag? online? monthly or quarterly or special edition? , adn the big question, will it be just like the old domino, or better, or worse? your guess is as good as mine, but ANY addition to to our little decorating-focused world is always welcomed! exciting stuff!
update- curbed says it will be special editions only, one scheduled for spring and one for fall. i dunno- if they've hired a market editor, wouldn't you think it will turn into something a bit more frequent? wishful thinking? time will tell...

Of course, Castro doesn't happen to name those thirteen countries, so you have to go digging for them, which is how you come up with the following list:
- China

- Burma (Myanmar)

But, more to the point: is this really the list of countries that Lamar Smith, Patrick Leahy, the MPAA and Daniel Castro think that the US ought to go about emulating? Really?

Our new ranking puts the Big Apple firmly on top.
New York and London are both powerhouse cities, competitive in everything from fashion, music, and finance, to now even start-ups and high tech. In recent years, the long debate over which is the world's most economically powerful city has reached something of a fever pitch. In 2012, London Mayor Boris Johnson (who was born in New York City and is,
for now
, still a dual citizen)
debated members of the Bloomberg administration on this score
. And earlier this month in London, Harvard economist and native New Yorker Edward Glaeser

his hometown is fast losing its status to London. Indeed, London should be congratulated for its remarkable run over the past couple of decades, even as the U.K.'s economy has sputtered.
But the newest ranking of the world's most economically powerful cities put together by my

(MPI) research team finds New York to be the clear winner.
Our updated version of the Global City Economic Power Index ( we introduced the original version in 2012 ) is based on five core metrics:
Overall Economic Clout: We evaluate overall economic activity by gross domestic product (GDP) as measured by the Brookings Institution in their Global Metro Monitor Map .Overall Economic Clout:
Financial Power : We gauge global financial power based on think tank and consultancy Z/Yen's Global Financial Centres Index , which gauges the strength of a city's finance and banking industries.Financial Power
Global Competitiveness: Here we use two measures. The Global City Competitiveness Index [PDF], by The Economist , includes 32 indicators of economic strength, physical capital, financial maturity, institutional character, human capital, global appeal, social and cultural character and environment and natural hazards. The Global Cities Index from consulting firm A.T. Kearney tracks business activity, human capital, information exchange, cultural experience, and political engagement in metros.Global Competitiveness:
Equity and Quality of Life: Lastly, we include a measure of equity and quality of life, The United Nations' City Prosperity Index [PDF], which measures prosperity along five dimensions: productivity, infrastructure, quality of life, equity and social inclusion and environmental sustainability.Equity and Quality of Life:
We calculate a city's total score across these five indices, with 10 points awarded to a first place ranking, nine to a second place rank and so on.
Muscovite , also called common mica, potash mica , or isinglass , abundant silicate mineral that contains potassium and aluminum. Muscovite is the most common member of the mica group. Because of its perfect cleavage , it can occur in thin, transparent, but durable sheets. Sheets of muscovite were used in Russia for windowpanes and became known as Muscovy glass (isinglass), hence its common name. Muscovite typically occurs in metamorphic rocks, particularly gneisses and schists, where it forms crystals and plates. It also occurs in granites, in fine-grained sediments, and in some highly siliceous rocks. Large crystals of muscovite are often found in veins and pegmatites. One crystal mined near Nellore, India, measured 3 metres (10 feet) in diameter and 5 metres (15 feet) in length and weighed 85 tons.Muscovite common mica, potash mica isinglass

I love the "we are stuck in poor neighborhoods" excuse. Fine, I'll admit, those poor black neighborhoods suck. But did you ever consider leaving? It's legal in every state. 500,000 Syrians are WALKING across multiple countries so they can have a safer place to live with JOB opportunities and you can't call up your cousin pookie to help you move? Really?
And as far as the slavery and all that goes, guess what, you were the conquered people. You weren't the only ones in history. Move on because it's getting to be a tired excuse. And you are aware slavers weren't over there with nets right? Like a fat European can run down a healthy African tribesman? We just bought the losing tribesman from the winning tribesman.
Somewhere in any groups history is a time when they were the conquered people, we all got past it, grow up and do the same.
BTW many blacks have been leaving poor neighborhoods. But it doesn't change the racism. It's not as if cops, judges, and employers are only racist in poor neighborhoods.
Anyway, why don't you suggest that poor white people leave poor white neighborhoods. There are more poor whites than poor blacks, more white welfare recipients than black. And studies have shown that poor whites in poor neighborhoods, that is to say when economic factors are controlled for, the rates of unemployment and crime are about the same.
Those poor whites are in many cases the descendants of various conquered people. They were either sent to the US as indentured servants or were escaping those who had taken over their homelands. Others were border people who had no clear nationality and were escaping the violence of governments on all sides. This includes not just the Irish, but also the Scots-Irish, the Scottish, Palatine Germans, etc.
The poorest neighborhoods, communities, and regions of the entire country include the populations who descend from these conquered people. According to your ideology, if you were to be fair and not racist, you'd have to argue that the majority of poor people who are whites have refused to move on, get past it, and grow up. I guess we should round up all those pathetic irresponsible poor white people and send them back to where they came from.
Only one group of 15% committing 50% of homicides are complaining about how they got here and how being in poor neighborhoods made them do it.
Let me make another thing clear about the data. You are making a common mistake.
The percentage of blacks committing a crime every year, especially in terms of violent crimes, is only a fraction of a percentage of the black population. The vast majority of blacks are law-abiding and hardworking American citizens, just like everyone else.
Rotterdam's Markthal (Market Hall) has coffee, cheese, fruit—and an LED light display.
As I'd guessed from the shape, the apartment was divided into five floors, with the largest one in the middle. The first level was a glorified staircase landing, the second a foyer and half bath, the third a kitchen and living room, the fourth two small bedrooms and the bathroom, the very top a lovely sunroom stocked with books and a chess set underneath where the house came to its point. Between each floor was a narrow staircase—although the owners had made several smart modifications to the house (tread on the stairs, custom-made covers for the rhombus-shaped windows), it still seemed like an impossible residence for someone disabled or injured. Everything was minimalist, with varying effects—as a New Yorker who lives in a cramped studio, I was already used to limited countertop space, but a life without closets seemed beyond comprehension. I wound up bringing only essential clothes, gadgets, and toiletries upstairs with me and left my suitcases on the landing so I didn't have to shlep luggage up multiple flights of stairs. And the unusual design of the homes, which tilt inward in a sort of awkward circle, meant that I could reach out the bedroom window and touch my closest neighbor's window easily. This proximity also gave me a peek into how the cube house owners customize their homes—some had flowers or artwork hanging up in the windows, facing outward for the benefit of others' views, while a friendly gray cat seemed to appreciate my waves from across the way. Most either didn't want to deal with the hassle of getting custom-fitted window coverings or simply didn't care about modesty, which meant I saw a handful of folks drinking coffee in their underwear in the morning.
A person who chooses to live in such an unusual home has to be pretty open to this connected way of life—fitting, since Blom was all about designing for communities more than individuals. Other modern architecture in town speak to this idea, as well: the new Rotterdam Centraal station, completed in 2014, which looks like a luminescent upside-down Nike swoosh, is an airy, open meeting place where people hang out even if they're not waiting for a train; the award-winning
Angara Diamond Wave Bracelet in Yellow Gold zpYn7tie
(market hall) is home to both the city's biggest food market, but also has apartments and offices surrounding the semicircular structure. On a walking tour with local company Urban Guides , I learned about the electric-yellow Luchtsingel, considered the world's first-ever " crowdfunded public infrastructure project ." The bridge connects Rotterdam Centraal to various city projects, including a community vegetable garden, and people who donated to the construction got their names written on wooden boards along the side. Rotterdam is a city, it seems, where the structures are living entities, not creaky old museums full of antiques collecting dust.

While countless novelists have written screenplays, it's extremely rare for one to also direct a film version of his own work — the only two I can think of off the top of my head are Norman Mailer ("Tough Guys Don't Dance'') and Stephen King (um, "Maximum Overdrive'').
Stephen Chbosky — whose credits include the screenplay for Chris Columbus' not-great movie of "Rent'' as well as some TV — has crafted a surprisingly pungent and cinematic version of his autobiographical, coming-of-age best seller "The Perks of Being a Wallflower.''
This would be tricky material to handle even for a director with more objective distance from the material.
Set in 1991 Pittsburgh — which often seems like a decade earlier based on the clothes and hairstyles — the film focuses on Charlie (Logan Lerman of "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief''), a clinically depressed 15-year-old.
Struggling with his freshman year after a hospitalization following the suicide of his only friend, Charlie receives encouragement in his aspirations as a writer from a high school teacher (Paul Rudd, playing it mostly straight) who turns him on to Salinger, Kerouac and Fitzgerald.
Our socially maladroit hero is taken under the wing of a beautiful senior Sam (Emma Watson, playing a not-quite-manic pixie dream girl, complete with a Carey Mulligan-esque bob, in her first major role after a decade of Hermione Granger).
Sam's efforts to make Charlie hipper and looser are abetted by Sam's flamboyantly gay half-brother, Patrick (Ezra Miller, who played the extremely bad seed of "We Need To Talk About Kevin'').
Soon our hero is awash in a world of high school sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, and it would have been very easy to turn "The Perks of Being a Wallflower'' into a cliché-fest; "The Rocky Horror Picture Show'' even figures very prominently in the plot as a device for Charlie's liberation.
Charlie falls for Sam (who already has a jerk boyfriend) and her brother Patrick crushes hard on Charlie, who rescues Patrick from a beating at the hands of his closeted boyfriend.
"The Perks of Being a Wallflower'' is the sort of lower- budget personal film you hardly see being released by a major distributor anymore, except during awards season.
Under Chbosky's sensitive direction, practically every scene, many of them painful, rings honest and true — especially those involving Charlie's well-meaning parents, played by Dylan McDermott and Kate Walsh (Joan Cusack turns up as a sympathetic psychiatrist).
The acting is first-rate, and remarkably there's no sense that the sometimes tough material (which barely skirts an R rating) has been watered down to make it more palatable for a wider audience. I just wish Chbosky had changed that terrible title for the movie.

Research Park moving forward with facilities, expansion plans
The Thad Cochran Research, Technology and Economic Development Park will soon open its newest facility with plans for another building – plus expansion and a new entrance – on the drawing board, an official said.
Tenants will move into the new, 38,000-square-foot three-story multi-tenant building Dec. 1, said Marc McGee, director of Mississippi State University's Research and Technology Corp.
The tenants will be Camgian Microsystems, nCode and Spatial Information Solutions.
All three companies are expanding from a square-footage standpoint, McGee said.
The RTC, along with the university's Office of Technology Commercialization and Entrepreneurship Center, will be MSU-related units with offices in the new building.
The MSU components will all be located on the first floor, creating "an entrepreneurial environment," McGee said.
"Each office has a component of entrepreneurial development and we're all locating under one roof," he said.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology – a U.S. Department of Commerce agency – provided funding for the $9.2 million project.
The facility fills a gap of needed multi-tenant office space in the Research Park, McGee said.
Infrastructure for the approximate 45-acre Phase II of the Research Park is under design now by Pritchard Engineering, he said.
Plus, a second entrance to the park is near the end of the design phase, McGee said.
The road – a four-lane boulevard – will be located just to the west of the Rose Garden and will connect to the existing Research Boulevard. Existing facilities within the North Farm will not be disturbed by the new boulevard, he said.
Also, NIST will be the funding source for a second building under design which officials hope to have under construction by early 2011, McGee said.
The single-story building will house a new business incubator, the program for which the Entrepreneurship Center will manage, he said.

|Market Snapshot:
Week Chg
Week %Chg
S&P 500 Index
Dow Jones Industrials
NASDAQ Composite
Value Line Arithmetic Index
Minor Cycle (Short-term trend lasting days to a few weeks) Positive
Intermediate Cycle (Medium trend lasting weeks to several months) Positive
Major Cycle (Long-term trend lasting several months to years) Positive / Neutral
Last week, the S&P 500 rallied to its best level in more than five years. The Value Line index hit another new all-time high. And, albeit by inches, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied to a new intermediate closing high to "confirm" movement in the Dow Transportation Average which, under the venerable Dow Theory, underscores a primary bull trend in the market. The problem with the latter is that Dow Theory signals are a bit "spongy" and tend to be subject to interpretation. Some have said that Dow Theory confirmed on the upside a month ago. Others disagree. Current reversals to positive have apparently changed a Sell signal generated last May. Others differ and say the Sell came in September. No, wait...
At any rate, the market rallied some last week. All cycles including Minor, Intermediate, and Major remain positive with tendencies toward "Overbought.". At the same time, Cumulative Volume confirmed the new intermediate high in the S&P, but not in the S&P Emini futures contract. Nor in the Dow 30, or in the NASDAQ Composite that has been lagging anyway. There's no volume reported for the Value Line index, so we can't comment on that.
Market Overview – What We Know:
- Major indexes recorded small gains again last week with Value Line Index hitting new, all-time closing high and S&P 500 to best level since late December 2007. NASDAQ Composite index continues to lag.
- All cycles, including Minor, Intermediate, and Major, remain positive.
- Market volume rose a little over 3% compared to previous week.
- S&P 500 would signal short-term negative by selling below lower edge of 10-Day Price Channel (1458.17 through Monday). Intermediate Cycle remains positive until S&P falls below lower edge of 10-Week Price Channel (1391.74 through January 25).
- Daily MAAD bettered December 20 short-term resistance high last Friday, but remains well below more important intermediate resistance made last March 20. Daily MAAD Ratio is toward "Neutral" at 1.07 with Weekly MAAD Ratio moderately "Overbought" at 1.42.
- Daily CPFL rallied to another short-term high last week, but has yet to overcome resistance created last September. Daily CPFL Ratio was moderately "Overbought" at 1.63 while the Weekly Ratio was moderately overheated at 1.25.
- Cumulative Volume (CV) confirmed S&P 500 strength last week to a new intermediate high, but did not confirm gains in S&P 500 Emini, or in Dow 30 or NASDAQ Composite.
The Daily Most Actives Advance/Decline Line (MAAD) eked out a slightly higher high by rallying above its December 20 short-term peak by a few notches. But the indicator also remains well below intermediate resistance put in place back on March 20, 2012. Our Call/Put Dollar Value Flow Line hit a new short-term high last week, but continues to remain below intermediate resistance made back in September.
Does all of this sound familiar in that the market makes selective new highs, depending on the cycle, while an array of indicators continue to flirt with negative divergences. If it does, welcome to the long-term endgame that, unfortunately, can continue for months as prices work higher with less and less underlying indicator corroboration. Although a hand might pop up with the comment to suggest that the flip to positive by the Dow Theory is a "very good sign," we can only suggest that in respect to Dow Theory, that indicator is notoriously late and has the flexibility of a battleship in a bathtub.
Market Overview – What We Think:
- Minor Cycle uptrend begun after November 16 lows (1343.35—S&P 500) remains intact, despite spotty indicator confirmation on upside.
- Dow Theory confirmed bull trend with higher closing highs by Dow 30 and 20, but indicator is notoriously sluggish and late.
- In spite of apparent bullish "tendencies" since November lows, uptrend initiated in March 2009 is mature and could very likely be much closer to an end point than not. In fact, upside "Measured move" targets calculated on a variety of cycle points suggest that on average S&P, Dow 30, NASDAQ, and VAY could be within 10% of ultimate highs in this bull trend.
- On time scale, S&P, Dow, and NASDAQ appear to have time left to achieve goals while VAY looks overextended.
- So long as pricing and indicators are not in synch on upside as they were from March 2009 until May 2011, lingering long-term doubts will persist, and we will continue to wonder how much longer this market will be able to shake off unfavorable indicator divergences.

MSU volleyball sports more experienced squad
Mississippi State volleyball head coach Jenny Hazelwood is excited to finally have something every other coach in America has – upperclassmen.
In her second season, she hopes the experience difference of a roster with players who have handled the pressures of Southeastern Conference action will result in a better record than last season's 9-21 performance.
"The last number of years it's been mostly freshmen and sophomores on the court," Hazelwood said. "The experience is wonderful and our 6-on-6 work now is played with the starters behind at the start and now we have the poise to handle that."
After two weeks of preseason practice, the MSU players are quick to point out that they are simply tired of playing each other and are looking forward to a different colored jersey coming to Starkville this weekend.
"We're really excited to play another team and have people watching us play because it gets to a point where we need something different or something to look toward," junior outside hitter Caitlin Rance said.
Mississippi State will take to the floor this weekend when they play four matches on two days starting today with a 12:30 p.m. tilt against Arkansas-Little Rock.
Hazelwood took the job in 2009 at her alma mater and said her first preseason couldn't have been more productive but was hit with a devastating injury to middle blocker Mandy Mellencamp that sent her first season in Starkville into a deep tailspin.
"When she went down that was the wow moment for me and this program because we just didn't have the depth to counter a projected starter being out for a long period of time," Hazelwood said.
Hazelwood has spent this summer wearing two different job titles as she's spent time between program promoter and recruiting coordinator.
The first job started in May after Scott Stricklin was named the school's newest athletic director and Hazelwood had multiple meetings with her new boss about simply how to grow the sport of volleyball in the state of Mississippi.
"Scott being an alum is huge for our program because I feel like we both have a genuine interest in seeing our building filled with fans every home game," Hazelwood said. "The major question I get is where do y'all play? We're going to have banners all around campus and trust me, if you've tailgated for an MSU football game, you're going to know where we play."
One of those promotional ideas will occur this weekend when Bulldogs head football coach Dan Mullen will be the guest coach for Saturday night's finale of the Maroon Classic when the volleyball team hosts Montana at 7:30 p.m.
"He doesn't have to do that but he is going to help promote our sport," Hazelwood said. "I've got a ton of other coaches asking when do we open up and encouraging their student athletes to come."
Hazelwood knows that all the marketing in the world won't turn a program around unless the Bulldogs can wins more games in 2010.
"A lot of people in Mississippi have never even been to a volleyball game but I think no matter what the sport, our fan base likes to come watch MSU win, no matter what it is," Hazelwood said.
To ensure more winning ways, the MSU head coach embarked her first full recruiting season with the seemingly ironic main goal of finding another Jenny Hazelwood.
It was 14 years ago when Hazelwood stepped in as an unknown from Texas and claimed the starting setter's role as a freshman, setting the school freshman single-season record with 1,541 assists. In 2010, Hazelwood signed Frisco, Texas native Paris Perret to be the Bulldogs starting setter after she was a two-time all-state performer in high school.
"I can say there's a lot of similarities between us through the recruiting process and I thought immediately she could come in, win that role and handle it in SEC play," Hazelwood said. "These freshman are going to be able to handle the struggles of playing in this league."
MSU has three players that started every game in 2009 including Rance, senior middle blocker Ashley Newsome and libero Iwa Belisario.
"The leadership on this team will help this season when we're fighting for positions every day," Rance said. "This preseason was the best we've had in my opinion since I've been here so I'm excited about what we can do."
Mississippi State will open its conference season Sunday, Sept. 19, with a match at Ole Miss and will have its first home league match five days later against Arkansas.
