This letter was posted by Joel Trinidad of Upstart Productions as a note in his Facebook account. We are re-posting it verbatim in the interest of dissemination and discussion.
Independent filmmaker Rafa Santos needs to be taught a lesson. Not a lesson in filmmaking, as he is obviously competent enough to have been included in this year's Cinemalaya. Not a lesson in thrift, as he is apparently frugal enough to have produced his film without major backing. Not a lesson in public speaking, as he can definitely hold his own in interviews about the film in question. No, what this man needs is a lesson in gratitude. (He would also do well to acquire some class.)
In a televised interview on ANC this morning, Mr. Santos said he preferred using theater actors in his films, because "you can feed them Sky Flakes three meals a day and pay them in cat food."
Congratulations, Mr. Santos. You have succeeded in alienating the very actors that have helped you to make your film so cheaply. No theater performer who has heard your egregious statements will ever work with you now. (Apparently, you lack not just gratitude, but also intelligence.)
Mr. Santos doubtless meant his remarks as a joke, but that does not excuse him from having made them. He is insensitive, mean-spirited, and divisive—qualities that do not become the artistic institution that Cinemalaya has become. We would appreciate it if you removed his film from your festival.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
Joel Trinidad

For 600 years, Vienna was the capital of the Habsburg Dynasty, that ruled a large part of Europe. The pomp and splendour of that time has been preserved.
Most of Vienna's sights are situated within the Ringstrasse, a wide ring road of about 4 kilometres, that encircles the centre of the city. The Hofburg, the imperial palace of the Habsburgs, is worth a visit. Schönbrunn Palace, the magnificent St. Stephen's Cathedral and the Votive Church are undeniably architectural gems. We also advise you to take a walk round the Ring. You will be amazed by magnificent mansions, the State Opera and the large number of museums.
Outside the centre of Vienna, there is also the magnificent Belvedère Palace and the famous Prater Park, an amusement park with the well-known Vienna Ferris Wheel, which is one of the biggest Ferris wheels in Europe. To take a break from all that sightseeing, you can relax in a typical wine cellar or traditional coffee house.

Saturday marked the last night of Hanukkah and we celebrated with our annual family gathering hosted at my sister's house. It was a great night exchanging presents, spending time with family, and enjoying some yummy vegan versions of our favorite Hanukkah foods!
Let's take a little tour of my plate, shall we?
At the bottom right of this delicious plate, you'll see my mom's famous potato latkes. Mom makes the best latkes in the world. Seriously. I've never found any that stand up to hers. And, it's family tradition that my sister and I help mom fry and flip the latkes on the stove before dinner. So they are fresh! Never frozen! If you don't come out of Hanukkah dinner smelling like vegetable oil, then it's not a real Hanukkah dinner! and of course, served with apple sauce and Tofutti sour cream.
Moving to the left, you'll see the maple roasted Brussels sprouts that I've started to make for everything. I don't even think my family likes Brussels sprouts. But I do. So I make them.
Next, you'll see my veganized Brisket! It was so easy, and turned out delish! I based the recipe on my mom's traditional brisket recipe, which calls for one packet of onion soup mix, two bottles of chili sauce, water (fill up the two bottles and add that to the pot), potatoes and baby carrots, but substituted Gardein beef tips in place of the brisket meat. I also threw everything in the slow cooker and set it on low for the day.
My aunt made a yummy salad and left the cheese on the side for the vegans. My Brother-in-Law also made a vegan peach pie, which was pretty tasty too!
Mom also brought her yummy mock chopped liver, based on this recipe. It gets better and better each time she makes it, and it was yummy to begin with! All the taste without the guilt or the cholesterol!
It was such a great night and we all rolled ourselves home and slept well with full hearts and tummies.
Giveaway Alert!! On Monday, December 24, I am excited to be participating in The Happy Herbivore's 31 Days of Giveaways for her new cookbook, Happy Herbivore Abroad. So please check back in on Monday to read a Q&A with the Happy Herbivore and enter to win a copy of the book!

The play "Orphans" has been orphaned on Broadway.
Producers said Monday that Lyle Kessler's play starring Alec Baldwin will close May 19 after 27 previews and 37 regular performances at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.
The play earned Tom Sturridge a best lead actor Tony Award nomination and it was named among the Tony contenders for best revival. It tells the story of two orphaned brothers who kidnap an older man.
The show was perhaps best known for a creative dustup between Baldwin and Shia LaBeouf, which led to the younger man's leaving before the show opened. Ben Foster replaced LaBeouf.
It joins "The Testament of Mary," ''Hands on a Hardbody," ''The Anarchist," ''Scandalous," ''Jekyll & Hyde" and "The Performers" to have short Broadway lives this season.

Conductor: www.mta.me from Alexander Chen on Vimeo.
Someone created a web page that shows the New York subway system as, well, musical art. It's hard to describe, but I'll try: On a stark white or black background, dots, starting from when you come to the page and then accelerating through the actual subway schedule at time-lapse speed, trace the subway lines, creating music as they cross each other, as if guitar strings are being plucked. The piece, Conductor, by Alexander Chen, essentially turns the subway system into a string instrument. All I know is that it's mesmerizing.
There's a more detailed explanation by the creator here. The video above is a taste of it, or click here to see it in action for real.

YREKA – The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) recently conducted its second Criminal Enforcement Response Program (CERP) operation in concert with local and state agencies in Scott Valley.
"The SCSO is taking a proactive stance in response to crime problems and citizens' complaints within most areas of the county utilizing SCSO and partner agencies," stated a press release issued by the SCSO.
SCSO deputies and the patrol commander, along with personnel from Siskiyou County Probation, Siskiyou County Inter-Agency Narcotics Task Force, California Highway Patrol, Etna Police Department, California State Fish and Wildlife and other available agencies participated in the second special enforcement effort.
The release stated that this team of personnel made a total of one arrest and identified five violations of probation and one parole violation. The team confiscated guns, ammo, marijuana, a baton and knives – all reportedly possessed illegally by individuals.
Eugene Anglen, 37, of Yreka was booked into the Siskiyou County Jail for outstanding felony and misdemeanor warrants along with a new charge of felony violation of probation and obstructing a peace officer.
Anglen is lodged in the Siskiyou County Jail with a bail amount of $25,000.
"We would like to commend the efforts of this multi-agency operation working proactively to prevent a number of crimes. This was a highly successful operation," stated Sheriff Jon Lopey on behalf of the SCSO.
CERP was recently established to investigate and respond to citizen complaints and conduct special enforcement details concentrating on sex offender compliance checks, service of arrest warrants, medical marijuana compliance checks, probation and parole checks and searches for criminal fugitives hiding in local areas, Lopey said.
CERP's first operation was launched in February in Happy Camp and resulted in 11 adult arrests and one juvenile arrest.

Before Galileo Galilei and Sir Isaac Newton, the Lakota studied astronomy. Many indigenous peoples did. They were natural scientists. What sets indigenous "ethnoastronomy" apart from mainstream western astronomy is native peoples didn't feel the need to separate their spiritual beliefs from other areas of their lives. The Lakota truly believed everything was interconnected. As a result, hard science observations and discoveries deciphered by Lakota over millennia are always intermingled with their spiritual beliefs, practices and ceremonies. In spite of frequent attempts by the western establishment to destroy such traditional knowledge, some has survived. Like the ancient Greeks, Lakota named stars, constellations, and other heavenly bodies. Legends often relayed morals, as well as valid scientific information. The legend of Lakota hero Fallen Star tells us he was the son of the North Star and a Lakota woman. When his mother fell back to Earth through a hole she had dug in the sky while digging for turnips, he was adopted by the Lakota people. He matured quickly, and before long he realized his destiny was to protect the Lakota. Fallen Star rescued seven Lakota maidens from a red eagle by placing them in the night sky as Wicincala Sakowin, the Seven Little Girls, known to the Greeks as The Pleiades. Today, Fallen Star is said to inhabit the night sky near Wanagi Tacanku, or the "Trail of Spirits"—called The Milky Way by westerners. According to Lakota belief, Wanagi Tacanku is where Lakota go after their physical bodies die. Lakota ceremonies keep the people aligned with the cosmos. During Sundance, pierced dancers are connected to a central tree of Life, that connects them directly to The Great Mystery above. Tipis and lodges were designed to mirror the rising sun and stars. To the Lakota, the Black Hills of South Dakota also mirror the stars. The ceremonial center of the Black Hills is "Old Baldy." At present, there is no star body that correlates to Old Baldy's location, but astronomers have noted that light from the Crab Nebula Supernova that reached Earth in the 11thcentury did. Medicine wheels were important astronomical instruments used by the Lakota. One assembled near the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming around 1760 was used by ancestral Lakota to watch the summer solstice sunrise, and the dawn of stars like Aldeberan and Rigel. Historically, western science has questioned the validity of indigenous science and astronomy, in part because it aligns nature-based spirituality with science. Slowly, this closed mindset is changing. In my opinion, western science is beginning to draw conclusions that have already been inferred by Indigenous ancients thousands of years ago. Modern science postulates that our universe was created in an event referred to as "The Big Bang." According to this theory, the universe sprang from nothingness when a zone of infinite density, called a "singularity," began to cool and expand. A Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was constructed underground in Europe to run experiments that will answer some of biggest questions in Particle Physics. Simulations of conditions similar to The Big Bang event can be created within it and studied. Supersymmetric particles can be tested within the LHC to reveal the make-up of dark matter. Everything we see in the Universe, including you, the coffee in my cup, and the roof overhead, is made up of ordinary particles. These particles are form matter, and represent 4 percent of the Universe. Ninety-six percent of the universe is made up of dark matter and dark energy, meaning it's invisible. Dark matter is incredibly difficult to detect and study. Initial proof of dark matter/energy was based on the gravitational forces they exert. Still, we don't know what it is. Hence the reason for creating a machine like the LHC to investigate it. It's been speculated that dark matter and energy may eventually connect science to mysticism if or when science reveals plausible evidence that dark matter contains multiple dimensions or a spiritual realm presently unseen to the majority of us. The Higgs-Boson has been introduced by scientists as the sub-atomic particle that gives mass to everything in the universe. In other words, scientists believe the Higgs-Boson is in all things, connects all things, and by giving everything mass, essentially creates all things. No wonder Higgs-Boson has been termed "The God Particle." Researchers utilizing The Large Hadron Collider announced in December that they may have caught a first glimpse of The God Particle, and definitive proof of its existence will likely be disclosed in 2012. While institutions of Western science will deny that any forthcoming discoveries they make bear any likeness to indigenous teachings, indigenous scientists realize the difference is only a matter of syntax and perspective. We are all connected. The difference between my ancestor's belief in this and a scientists discovery as such is my ancestors didn't have to build a $9 billion dollar piece of equipment to know it, and modern scientists term this interconnectedness of creation Higgs-Boson, The God Particle. Likewise, the Lakota were aware of the existence of the invisible Wanagi Tacanku, or "Trail of Spirits," before modern science ever defined the term dark matter. Be patient. It takes them awhile to catch on.

The Year of Cooking Dangerously
How an Amazonian kidnapping, punk rock and an unmatched curiosity for the foods in his native Brazil—poisonous or otherwise—gave chef Alex Atala the tools to run the best restaurant in South America. And now, maybe, the world.
STRAIGHT OFF A DECEMBER red-eye from the Amazon, Alex Atala is back home, sitting at the buffed ipê wood bar of his São Paulo restaurant D.O.M.—rated the best on the continent and fourth best in the world—talking about the time he was kidnapped.
"In the Amazon," says Atala, who is 44 and freshly sunburned, with tightly cropped gray hair, countless tattoos and a graying red beard that resembles van Gogh's, "this kind of thing can happen." It was 1998, the year before D.O.M.'s inception, and Atala had embarked...

Remembering #PRIDE will be a series of videos here on Broiled Sports to remember the greatest MMA promotion of all time, PRIDE Fighting Championships. While PRIDE is mistakenly not remembered as the best ever, due to the UFC, it truly was #1. PRIDE at one point was the greatest and biggest MMA organization in the world.
While politics, poor business decisions, and the Yakuza (Japanese mob) ended up killing PRIDE in the end, there were so many great moments that happened before they closed down. These moments will be captured here to prove a point about PRIDE's greatness. Whether it be Fedor Emelianenko, Kazushi Sakurabra, Dan Henderson, Wanderlei Silva, the awesome talent rosters, the best fights anywhere, the best shows anywhere, or just having the largest crowds... PRIDE will be brought back into the forefront here.

12 Ways to Fight Warping and Curling
This article was written about printing with the MakerBot Thing-O-Matic and MakerBot Cupcake CNC. Click one of the following links for a similar article on the Fifth Generation MakerBot Replicator, MakerBot Replicator Z18, MakerBot Replicator Mini, MakerBot Replicator 2 or MakerBot Replicator 2X. As printed plastic parts cool the different areas of the object can cool at different rates. ((Photo courtesy of backpackphotography)) Depending upon the parts being printed, this effect can lead to warping and curling. Although PLA has a much lower shrinkage factor than ABS, both can warp and curl, potentially ruining a print. There are some very common ways to deal with this potential problem, the most notable being a heated build platform. However, sometimes that might not be enough. 1. Use a heated build platform. A heated build platform helps keep the lowest levels of a print warm as the higher layers are printed. This allows the overall print to cool more evenly. A heated build platform, sometimes abbreviated as HBP, helps tremendously with just about any ABS print and large PLA prints. 2. Print with a raft. Rafts are a printing option in ReplicatorG and Skeinforge. They're basically a large flat lattice work of printed material underneath the lower-most layer of your printed object. They'll also help reduce warping and curling by allowing your printed object to adhere better to your flat build surface. Other variations on this are to print with a larger raft and/or a thicker raft comprised of more layers. 3. Calibrate your starting Z height. A good first layer makes all the difference. If your starting Z axis height is too high, the extruded filament won't be able to make a good bond with the platform. If you think your Z axis starting height is too high, try lowering it by 0.05mm increments until you find a good first layer. 4. Get the right build surface. Some people have experimented with different surfaces such as steel, titanium, glass, different kinds of plastic, different kinds of tape, and foam board. However, I find both ABS and PLA seem to stick really well to hot or warm Kapton tape. 5. Clean your build surface. ABS and PLA stick better to a clean build surface. Keep it clean of dust, pieces of old prints, and any other debris. 6. Print slower. Printing slower allows finer detail, better adhesion to the build surface and lower layers, and gives the printed part more time to cool evenly. 7. Print cooler. Printing at a lower temperature isn't always an option. Ideally, you should be printing at the lowest temperature required for extrusion and that allows good interlayer adhesion. However, trying lower temperatures isn't for the faint of heart. Printing at a too low a temperature could cause harm to your extruder motor or extruder. 8. Eliminate drafts or enclose your robot. Forrest Higgs found that having his 3D printer too close to an open window caused very uneven heating across his build surface. This in turn caused the side of his prints closest to the window to curl. Since keeping the window closed wasn't an option for him, he compensated for the window drafts by adding a heat lamp. Cupcake and Thing-O-Matic owners might have an easier time of eliminating drafts by simply enclosing two or three of the sides of their robots. It will also have a fortunate side effect of helping to control fumes. 9. Design with mouse ears. Zach Smith's solution was to add little discs to corners of an object to help those corners stick to the platform. These essentially serve as "mini-rafts" to give those corners more surface area and better adhesion without having to print an entire raft. 10. Design with aprons to hold down corners. Forrest Higgs suggested adding "aprons" around an object to be printed, while that object was being printed on a raft. These low thick pieces of plastic help keep the raft flat and help prevent any curling or warping from affecting the desired printed object itself. 11. Design with surrounding thermal walls. While Forrest Higgs' apron approach provides a mechanical advantage of essentially holding down corners with a chunk of plastic, Nophead has added thin surrounding walls to his designs to act as baffles to keep warm air around the printed object as it moves around. He's postulated that a very thin surrounding wall could have the same beneficial effect as printing inside an enclosed build chamber. Interestingly, it seems that Nophead suggests that designing objects with more rounded corners might also help avoid curling and warping at those corners. 12. Reduce infill. When printing a model you can chose to print it hollow, completely solid, or some percentage between zero and 100. However, as Nophead points out even the plastic inside a model exerts a force on the entire printed object as it cools. It stands to reason that the more plastic you have, the more those pieces of plastic will pull against themselves and the build surface as they cool. By reducing infill there will a reduced amount of internal tension as the object cools. Reducing these internal forces by printing with a lower infill ratio can help reduce curling and warping as well. 13. EDIT: Sand the Kapton. Charles Pax has suggested that sanding a Kapton tape build surface will increase the surface area, making it easier for the molten plastic to stick. 14. EDIT: ABS surface. Some have suggested essentially painting the build surface with liquid ABS. ((ABS dissolved in acetone or ABS glue)) This is has the same effect of laying down a big flat raft. If you've got some suggestions, tips, or tricks that you use to fight warping and curling, please leave a comment below!

Naked-body images, invasive pat-downs drawing an angry response
Amid a backlash over body scanners that show what's under clothing, the Transportation Security Administration is using social media to make its case. But even there, it's dealing with fake Twitter accounts and a growing number of videos posted to YouTube that show passengers resisting the invasive searches.
Most objectors cite privacy concerns, while others fear the radiation required to produce the images, particularly for pilots, flight attendants and passengers who fly frequently. TSA offers an extensive pat-down search as an alternative for passengers randomly selected for the screening, which is itself the subject of objections.
TSA has more than 385 imaging technology units at 68 airports, and hopes to expand that to 500 this year and more than 1,000 by the end of next year, said TSA spokesman Greg Soule in an article at CBSNews.com.
TSA Administrator John Pistole refused to soften the policy in testimony he gave to the Senate Commerce Committee during a recent hearing, according to articles in National Journal Daily and elsewhere.
The backlash has quickly gone viral. A video showing passenger John Tyner objecting to the intimacy of the pat-down has become popular on YouTube.
Now Information Week reports that TSA itself is trying to defuse some of the furor with its own social media efforts. The agency posted security video of radio host Meg McClain's experience with TSA agents at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood airport. McClain had talked about the incident on-air, saying she spent 20 minutes handcuffed to a chair.
"The 20 minutes of security footage from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport shows radio host Meg McClain refusing to go through the X-ray machine, moving to a chair where she engages in a heated discussion with TSA officers, and being escorted to a different location," writes J. Nicholas Hoover in the InfoWeek article. "The episode appears shorter and less severe than McClain described on radio."
But the social media sword has two edges, and at least one Twitter prankster, posting as "Agent Smith" under the @TSAgov account, has been tweeting satirical messages mocking TSA over the controversy. One recent tweet: "TSA Fact: our agents can say 'strip search' in 42 different languages." Another: "A staff goal is to have one of our agents written up in a Penthouse Letter." (TSA's real Twitter feed is @TSABlogTeam.)
TSA is considering implementing measures that would allow pilots to bypass the invasive screening procedures and have their identities confirmed by biometrics instead, National Journal Daily reports.

The person that told everyone to quit whining probably enjoys being felt up. While the rest of us has more ethics and morales. I hope I never have to fly again. When the airlines go bankrupt and the American people say no to any kind of bail out then we will see what the TSA thinks of their "P" ways.
The scanner create all sorts of privacy, legal issues and small but no zero health risks. New airport backscatter scanners deliver the same 40-50KVp x-rays used in dental and many mammography systems. Your DNA, skin, breast, blood absorbs the brunt of the damaging x-rays reducing internal organ exposure making the "effective dose" estimate of organ cancer rate appear so small.
Actual radiation dose to the skin and sensitive tissues 15-20x larger than the "OK/approved dose" TSA and manufactures put forward. Directing focused x-rays to skin generates statically more difficult to repair double DNA breaks, comparing collimated x-rays to "bananas" or a few minutes of air flight random gamma/cosmic rays are inaccurate.
Expecting mothers, fair skinned people, young children and people with DNA (BRCA) repair issues should protect sensitive tissues from medically unnecessary exposure.
As a former Airport Police Officer I understand the need for security. The TSA is not the answer. As a result of a line of duty injury I lost both testicles. With implants made of silicone the body scan reveals what looks like plastic explosives concealed within my scrodum. TSA "Agents" are certainly going to want to examine the contents of my scrotum after they notify SWAT. I will never fly or contribute to such violations of privacy. The American public needs to see where we are headed as a Nation, it's not good. I currently work for the U.S. Government and understand why my Father, a WWII veteran, cries at what our Gov. has done to the Greatest Nation on earth. God help us in our fight against Washington.
At least the TSA should provide the results to your physician, so he can go ahead and schedule you for that next procedure you will be needing. Is this part of Obama-care?
As a person with a surgical implant (knee) I am guaranteed to be selected for secondary screening aas a result of "ringing the bell" on the metal detectors. If the metal detectors/hand wands are so ineffective for screening, necessitating a second or even third level of inspection, why have them. Each deployed "monument" (physical machinery) is soon rendered impotent by changing of tactics on the part of the people wishing to continue damgaging attacks on this country. I will not be traveling by air as I resent being guilty until proven innocent by a group of people that are not my peers. Constitutional rights are going down the tube faster than ever while more rights are being given to non-citizens or those that are now considered "undocumented aliens". I believe I would have more rights in their category than I do as a natural born citizen.

I have been looking for a way to convert the BBC weather feed for my area to iCal, so I can subscribe to it. It's date-based, after all, and RSS never seemed to me to be an appropriate format for subscribing to weather information. iCal always struck me as being "better" for that purpose. Of course, the BBC only have an RSS feed for local weather. What I needed was a converter.
After some hunting, I discovered that Dean Sanvitale had written a PHP script to convert RSS feeds to iCal format. However, his site (codent.com) appears to be long since abandoned and the script is no longer available from there. Fortunately, the Wayback Machine did have a copy. Dean originally released the script under a Creative Commons License which, fortunately, allows me to make the script available to download from this site (note: the script is available from this site under the same license).
So, if you're looking for a way to convert an RSS feed to iCal, this PHP script will do the job. Thanks Dean!

NACCHO Celebrates Prevention and Wellness in Health Reform
NACCHO Celebrates Prevention and Wellness in Health Reform
Washington, DC (March 22, 2010) –
The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), whose vision is health, equity, and well-being for all people in their communities through public health policies and service, applauds Congress for their perseverance towards improving the nation's health through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The landmark health reform legislation passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate makes significant investments in population-based prevention activities and recognizes the unique role played by local public health departments while expanding access to affordable care for millions of individuals and families.
The stable, reliable funding stream for chronic disease prevention provided by this legislation, coupled with support for the public health workforce, are essential to sustain population-based prevention activities that are beyond the reach of the medical care system.
"Who doesn't prefer health?It is the foundation for a high quality of life," said NACCHO Executive Director Robert M. Pestronk."The benefits of including prevention and wellness in health reform are numerous. Prevention works, and science supports its use as practiced in both the doctor's office and in the community. It improves the productivity of workers, the ability to learn, and the national defense. This legislation is a giant step towards putting prevention and ''health'' back into healthcare."
Local health departments are a cornerstone of the nation's public health defense system. They detect and stop outbreaks of disease, help keep food and water safe, and work with people to create conditions that make health the default option – from eating well and exercise to reducing the bad effects of chronic disease. Adequately funded, local health departments prevent disease and protect health in ways that are beyond the capacity of health insurers and individual medical care providers. NACCHO is grateful to Congress for their steadfast support of public health and prevention.

Labor of love
Pelham-based Animal Rescue Network links volunteer lifesavers
PELHAM - Driving down Route 38 each day, Donna Clark would pass by a German shepherd dog that was tied to a car bumper and left outside each day, even in intense heat or heavy snow.
Wanting to help, the lifelong animal lover contacted the Pelham Police Department as well as the staff at the nearby Salem Animal Rescue League.
The dog was ultimately rescued and brought to safer surroundings, but Clark's dedication to animals in need was only beginning.
In 2001, the Pelham resident and local business owner founded Animal Rescue Network of New England (ARNNE), a Pelham-based nonprofit group that's placed hundreds of dogs and cats, as well as the occasional horse, rabbit and guinea pig, into loving new homes over the years.
Staffed entirely by volunteers, the charity relies on public donations and fundraising to stay afloat.
"They fill such a need, but they rely entirely on the public and word of mouth to fill that need," organization spokesman Patricia Mack said.
While ARNNE was originally founded to fill a void in her hometown, Clark said the organization's mission has since expanded to bring animals from high-kill shelters in the South to New England.
"Before ARNNE, people would sometimes have to travel to other shelters that were pretty far away if they didn't find what they were looking for in Salem," Clark said, noting that monthly adoption events held at the First Congregational Church in Pelham have proven a huge success.
Her efforts haven't made her rich, but it's truly a labor of love.
"It's a constant challenge, but once you've had the experience of an animal rescue you just can't turn away," Clark said. "There are never enough funds because there's always those unexpected expenses."
Clark's days are seldom long enough to devote to her two Pelham businesses, Pelham Saddlery and Beaver Valley Farm, along with her near-constant animal rescue efforts.
The mother of two teenagers, Clark also shares her home with a number of rescue animals, including two elderly horses, Dakota and Sweet Pea.
A network of devoted volunteers help Clark keep ARNNE afloat, though more help is desperately needed.
Since ARNNE doesn't have a facility of its own, the majority of the animals in its care are placed in foster homes. Those that haven't been matched with a foster home yet are kept at Pelham's animal control kennel.
Some wait longer than others, according to Patrice Fotino, who serves as the organization's adoption and intake coordinator when she's not at her daytime career as a Boston architect.
Hope, a gentle white pit bull, remains at the town kennel as she awaits a foster placement or permanent home.
"She's still here solely because of her breed," Fotino said.
According to Fotino, it costs around $250 to bring a dog to New Hampshire from the South. Complicated veterinary expenses are routine and can add up quickly.
Six weeks ago, ARNNE rescued Cleo, a young yellow Labrador mix, from a Georgia shelter. After being examined by a veterinarian, Fotino learned the friendly dog with piercing amber eyes had likely been thrown from a moving car and had a BB lodged in her chest.
Three weeks ago, Cleo underwent surgery to repair a torn knee tendon, and rescue staff are in the process of raising funds to repair her other damaged knee. Her foster mother, Sarah Hastings, has been with her every step of her recovery.
Surgery and rehabilitation costs for the first knee totaled over $2,200, much of which was raised through the organization's Facebook page. Cub Scouts from the Pelham Elementary School sold dog biscuits to raise $300 toward Cleo's care.
"Sometimes people don't understand why we charge $295 for our adoption fee," Fotino said. "But the truth is, nobody gets paid here except for our vets."

NH recoups $1.2m paid to unemployment fraudsBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 02. 2013 11:04PM
In a revived push to recover money owed to the state, New Hampshire has recouped $1.2 million in fraudulent unemployment benefit payouts this year under a federal program in which income tax refunds are garnished.
The state Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund is now owed a cumulative $11.1 million in fraudulent claims going back many years, according to Division of Employment Security Counsel Rich Lavers.
Lavers and DES General Counsel Maria Dalterio hope the state can recover much of that money in the months ahead. Anything recovered strengthens the fund and over time could reduce the taxes employers have to pay.
New Hampshire became the 19th state to qualify for the Treasury Department program in October. There are now 28 states in the program.
The state Legislature last year passed two bills aimed at unemployment fraud. HB 1579, which took effect in August, allows the DES to garnish wages, while HB 1366 tightened the reporting requirements for beneficiaries. They now have to document their search for employment each week, must be healthy and available for work, and must be willing to accept temporary work.
In 2012, the job of collecting money owed on fraudulent claims was transferred from the Benefit Payment Control unit at the DES to the Legal Department, which now consists of attorney Lavers and four paralegals. "The goal was to enhance our capacity to collect," said Dalterio. "The department decided to put more resources into this area a little more than a year ago, partly because the amounts, from 2008 to 2012, grew substantially."
Under the national program, garnishments are made by federal authorities, and the money is then sent to the state.
A tsunami of claims
According to the DES, fraudulent overpayments result when a person filing for unemployment benefits fails to disclose work and earnings in order to maintain eligibility or increase the amount of weekly benefits. The department then investigates reports of such incidents, gives the claimant the opportunity to explain his or her situation and issues its determination.
The Great Recession generated what Dalterio called a "tsunami of unemployment claims." At its peak, during the week of March 6, 2010, the department was processing 36,953 claims for unemployment insurance, she said, while claims for the week ending Feb. 23 totaled 13,352. The period of high claims taxed the department's ability to pursue fraud, but that is changing, and for good reason. There's a lot of money on the table.
The state had 542 fraud determinations in 2008, worth $748,000. In 2012, it was pursuing 782 fraud cases worth more than $2.6 million, according to information provided by the DES because of a right-to-know request from the New Hampshire Union Leader.
In 2008, the typical case referred for criminal prosecution was in the $2,000 to $3,000 range. "We had a rule of thumb that it had to be at least $1,000 to turn over to the county attorney," said Dalterio said. "Now we have much larger figures."
All but one of the 12 cases referred for prosecution in 2012 were five-figure fraud allegations, ranging up to $34,021. The maximum unemployment benefit in New Hampshire is $427 a week, plus a federal supplement of $25 a week for those who qualify. At $452 a week, someone would have to collect for 75 weeks to reach $34,000. How is that possible when the state only allows workers to collect for 26 weeks? Federal extensions enabled workers who had exhausted their state eligibility to pick up an additional 26 weeks.
"Because of the federal emergency compensation benefits, people might not even go out of the system, whereas before you'd have to be out for at least six months before you could apply for a new benefit year. The federal benefits at one point more than covered the gap," said Dalterio.
Some wait out the six months and apply again, and then there are the repeat offenders. "There are some people who have committed fraud more than once," she said. "They serve out their time when they are disqualified, and several years later they apply again and commit fraud again."
One case
Peggy Phillips could soon be a spokesman for the DES, warning of the dangers of fraudulent unemployment claims. It's not a position she applied for. It's part of a sentence handed down in January by Judge Peter H. Bornstein in Coos Country Superior Court, where Phillips pleaded guilty to misdemeanor fraud after a grand jury indicted the 56-year-old Berlin woman on charges of receiving nearly $20,000 in unemployment benefits to which she was not entitled.
In addition to a suspended sentence of one year in jail and two years' probation, Phillips agreed to pay $15,893 in restitution and a 17 percent administrative fee and to appear in a "deterrent video" produced by the DES office sometime after May, according to sentencing documents obtained from the court.
"We show it to people who are applying for benefits," said Dalterio. "We have a benefits rights session, where people get all the information they need about unemployment compensation - what to do and what not to do. And one of the things not to do is commit fraud."
That warning has been ignored at record levels in the past four years, as the Great Recession significantly increased the number of people receiving benefits and one extension after another increased the length of time they could qualify. In 2008 - the last full year before the recession began - 17 cases worth $52,641 were turned over to county attorneys for prosecution. For comparison, 12 cases worth $237,048 were turned over last year.
Prosecution numbers
Criminal prosecution, however, has not proved to be a very effective way of recouping the money. Other than Phillips' conviction, the state has recovered just a little more than $20,000 from cases referred to county attorneys in 2012, mostly from out-of-court settlements.
The DES does not reveal identities or circumstances surrounding fraud cases unless they lead to an indictment and potential prosecution, at which point they become public.
Individuals found guilty of fraudulently collecting unemployment checks now face a 20 percent penalty, on top of repayment.
All of the money recovered, no matter where it comes from, goes into the state's Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund, which now stands at $168 million. The health of that fund is of no small concern to the state's employers, who have faced a growing liability for its bottom line in recent years. Because of the surge in claims, the taxable wage base was increased from the first $8,000 in weekly wages in 2008, to $14,000 by 2012.
At one point during the recession, the fund dipped below $150 million, triggering a mandatory 0.5 percent surcharge on the unemployment tax employers pay. That charge was removed last year. A discretionary 0.5 percent surcharge is still in place, Dalterio said, but that is likely to be removed by DES Commissioner George Copadis at some point this year.
Copadis took advantage of Friday's announcement of $1.2 million in garnished tax returns to stress the division's heightened focus on enforcement.
"This is great news for the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund; great news for New Hampshire employers whose taxes support the unemployment compensation system; and great news for those honest, hard-working individuals unemployed through no fault of their own who rely on benefits being available," he said. "This should serve as an example and deterrent to those considering unemployment fraud. You will get caught, and we will recover the fraudulent payments together with interest and penalties, thus making it a very costly decision."

There is something I really do not understand. If they build a graphic chip with an FPGA. Why do they need to emulate VGA? Doesnt the chip produce VGA by itself?
No, the chip on the OGD1 is a general purpose CPU. You can program it to do anything you wish, even run a freaking web server if you wish. It just happens to be also capable of doing graphical output, but it has to be programmed to do that first. This would be easy if they could just implement their own calls for setting video mode and all such and implement their own driver for it. But VGA emulation is a completely different beast; you are emulating a whole different card.
No it doesn't have a general purpose CPU it has a FPGA which can be used to make a CPU or in this case a GPU
If you check the materials list you will see it actually has two FPGAs
A Xilinx and a Lattice
Edited 2009-04-23 13:08 UTC
Hmm... perhaps I didnt make myself quite clear here. With the FPGA they essentially construct a chip that works like a VGA-chip. The thing I did not quite understand was the use of the word "emulate" because when the FPGA has been programmed it does not "emulate" a VGA-chip. It IS a VGA-chip.
I guess you can use the word "emulate" to explain the programming of the FPGA to look like an VGA-chip but that doesnt mean it emulates it? Ah whatever...
On a sidenote: I think it is weird to get voted down for asking a question?
It is not a VGA chip in the sense that it doesn't use the same internal working than the real (old) VGA chips. But that should be the case of most other graphic card today I suppose. But, it is VGA compatible.
VGA is realy just a specification, just like VESA VBE or DirectX 10 Certified graphic card.
As the original architect of the way VGA is done on this board, perhaps I can offer an explanation.
There is perhaps a more straightforward way of implementing VGA than the way we did it. The direct route would require two components. One piece is the host interface that interprets I/O and memory accesses from PCI and manipulates graphics memory appropriate. The other piece is a specialized video controller that is able to translate text (which is encoded in two bytes as an ASCII value and color indices) in real-time into pixels as they're scanned out to the monitor. This is actually how others still do it.
To us, VGA is legacy. It should be low-priority and have minimal impact on our design. We didn't want to hack up our video controller in nasty ways (or include alternate logic) for such a purpose, and we didn't want to dedicate a lot of logic to it. Doing it the usual way was going to be too invasive and wasteful. Also, we want eventually to do PCI bus-mastering, which requires some high-level control logic, typically implemented in a simple microcontroller.
So we thought, if we're going to have a microcontroller anyhow, why not give it dual purpose. When in VGA mode, the uC we designed (which we call HQ) intercepts and services all PCI traffic to OGD1. Microcode we wrote interprets the accesses and stores text appropriately in graphics memory. Then, to avoid hacking up the video controller, we actually have HQ perform a translation from the text buffer to a pixel buffer over and over in the background. Its input is VGA text. Its output is pixels suitable for our video controller.
Aside from the logic reduction, this has other advantages. The screen resolution as seen by the host is decoupled from the physical display resolution. So while VGA thinks it's 640x400, the monitor could be at 2560x1600, without the need for a scaler. It's easily programmable, and we have complete control over how the text is processed into pixels; for instance, we could have HQ do some scaling or use a higher-res font different from what the host thinks we're using.
We call it emulation because, in a way, our VGA is implemented entirely in software, albeit microcode that's loaded into or own microcontroller.
I forgot to mention this:
Linux Fund is raising funds to buy 10 OGD1 boards (at cost) for developers.

Alienware X51 Desktop -- Console Sized PC, $700 and up.
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Systems | January 18, 2012 - 07:25 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: GTX 555, GT 545, dell, alienware
Alienware has been long known for two things: having interesting case designs, and being prohibitively expensive. For the last five years or so, Alienware has been a subsidiary of Dell to displace their gaming XPS product line into a non-gaming higher-end line. They have recently announced their X51 product line as Jeremy noted earlier, but what does that mean for someone interested in PC Gaming?
Like how it looks? Dude, you're getting a Dell!
Jeremy's post went through the range of base models and their associated prices. The main product page listed the features of the higher-end base unit along with two other points: the chassis can be vertically or horizontally mounted; and you can upgrade your core components easily. While the latter statement is great to make, it should also be noted that with a maximum 330W power supply, your upgrade options -- while potentially easy -- are quite limited.
The choice in video cards is split between the GeForce GT 545 and the GeForce GTX 555: these are both OEM-only GPUs and thus benchmarks are at this time difficult to find. The GT 545 contains 144 CUDA cores clocked at 870/1740 MHz with the memory clocked at 1998 MHz. Should you opt for the higher-end GTX 555, your GPU contains exactly twice the CUDA cores (288) clocked slightly slower at 776/1553 MHz and a slightly lower memory clock of 1914 MHz.
Dude, you regretting a Dell?
In terms of Alienware-specific perks, Alienware has developed the "Alienware Command Center"; this application allows you to customize the lighting on your chassis as well as control programs and tweak your system. While a nice value-addition, it is obviously more gimmicky than practical; but really, isn't that a large portion of why you are purchasing an Alienware computer? At least they look to be decent gimmicks. The price also does not appear to be too high compared to what you are getting from what I can tell. You would obviously be in a better position to assemble a desktop yourself and probably even commission your local small business computer store to do it for you, but the Alienware's price does not appear to be in a distant galaxy.
So what do you think?
Dell is out of touch with gamers. I've been a long time fan of Alienware and have 3 systems. I've spent over $8000.00 in with Alienware in the past 2 years. This little system is a joke and flys in the face of everything Alienware claims to stand for. I'm out.
Yeah, but it would look cool under my tv.
To me, it seems like a laptop with 21in to 24in monitor option... much easier to carry around than a standard Alienware case (those things are huge)
I like what they are trying to accomplish but I do not see a real effort here. One thing they could have done is slip a 550ti in there on a 90 degree PCIe angle card. Use a normal motherboard like an ASUS or Gigabyte H67 micro atx board and an Intel i3-2105. Start the systems at around $500 and people will love it.
Sigh, here I was expecting something big. Not a smaller version... I wonder why they couldn't have released this for the holiday season?
Looks interesting but the hardware is lacking a bit... You can only have a 330 watt PSU

Catfight Club
My boyfriend of two years is best friends with his ex. During their 14-year relationship, he says they had a codependency, becoming each other's social world. They were still roommates when we started dating, and she refused to even let me into their house. He says he'd like us to become casual friends and includes us both in group events like a recent hike. On it, I tried to be friendly, but she pretty much ignored me. Afterward, I told him it was awkward spending the day with someone who has issues with me. He became angry, saying I should be more understanding, that it was much more difficult for her. (She seems to require a level of coddling and emotional support that I don't.) He'll also go to events and not invite me because she'll be there. I'm positive they're done romantically, but he's abnormally protective of her, always defending her feelings over mine. When I try to discuss this, he blows up. (Our relationship is otherwise good and loving.) — Excluded
There's that old Eddie Money song that goes, "I've got two tickets to paradise. Won't you pack your bags; we'll leave tonight." And then there's your boyfriend's version: "I've got two tickets to paradise. We'll call you from the beach."
When two become as three, it isn't so much a relationship as it is the beginnings of a parade. Assuming you aren't members of a polygamous religious cult or regular guests at parties where everyone throws their keys into a big bowl, a relationship is generally understood to mean two people prioritizing each other over all others. If one of these people wants more creative terms, he needs to arrange for them by mutual agreement and not just stick them on his girlfriend and hope she doesn't notice, or at least doesn't complain.
In favoring the ex-girlfriend with the perpetually broken wing, your boyfriend isn't just being unfair to you; he's creating what therapist B. Janet Hibbs, Ph.D, calls "a chronic climate of unfairness." Hibbs feels fairness violations are at the root of most relationship problems, noting in Try To See It My Way that you can't trust your partner if you don't expect to be fairly treated. Unfairnesses left unrepaired lead partners to "withhold care, love, affection, and finally, themselves."
Your boyfriend talks like he wants you girls to sit around braiding each other's hair — yet foments conflict by making clear that you come second, and to a woman who treated you like a poocovered dog she didn't want in her house:
"Just tie her to a tree and come inside!" His being so codependently cozy with his needy ex is far less risky than going all in and being interdependent with you. So, of course he blows up when you broach the subject; evading all discussion of it allows him to keep her as his human binky.
Write him a note explaining that you two need to talk in a calm way about something that's bothering you. (It's impossible to have a relationship with somebody who goes all sixth-grade science project volcano whenever there's a discussion he'd rather not have.)
Tell him that you understand his friendship with his ex means a lot to him but that you find it painful to always come second. If he wants to remain your boyfriend, he needs to get his loyalties in order – meaning, even in the event his ex suffers some tragedy (a hangnail! a hangover!), he'll treat you more like his girlfriend than some woman in line behind him at 7-Eleven.
Two Shrieks To The Wind
In arguments with my boyfriend, I'll ignite — yelling, name-calling, threatening to break up. He isn't deserving of those names, and I don't want to break up, but I fear I'm sending us down that path. — Mean Girlfriend
You've decided to jazz things up with a little role-playing, but forget pirate/slave girl or housewife/UPS guy. You're into animal magnetism — like the jackal on the downed cow. Apparently, you misunderstood; the saying isn't "If you don't have anything nice to say, scream it at the top of your lungs." Every time you do, you claw a chunk out of his love and goodwill for you, weakening your relationship. Start exploring why you do this, and tell him you're working on it (so he'll know you're trying, even if you aren't instantly Gandhi). In the meantime, set up ground rules: If you start arguing ugly, the discussion's over. Write down your points, and talk when you can remain civil. If you fail again, postpone again. Bottom line: You aren't allowed to treat him like you forgot you love him – which is like re-enacting that romantic moment on the bow in "Titanic," except that you scream obscenities at him and shove him off the ship.

Hi..guys/gals, I have collections of Linux tips and tricks...
I hope this things..make you easy to learn Linux specially for Linux beginner( like me..)and BTW
don't be afraid to "dive in" in Linux:
1. Control D ( for your shell box)
This one most of you may know, but some of you don't know. Do you type "exit" all the time when
trying to get out of a terminal program? Or do you look for the big X to close that term out?
Well, simply hit the keyboard combinations of "ctrl + d" and it will log you out!
2. Control L (for your shell box)
Another really cool useful tool while in an Xterm. Lets say you have tons of stuff on your screen
and you want to work from a "blank palette". If you hit the following keyboard combinations:
"ctrl + l", then it will clear your screen for you.
3. You need to check what ports are open on your system and which ones you ought therefore to
secure. One such command is "netstat" (see the manpage for more details of syntax etc.),
which when used as below can be most useful:
netstat -paut
It shows each TCP and UDP port that is listening along with
the process that owns the port.
4. Another incredibly useful command that does much the same thing is "lsof"
(lists open files), it might not be installed on your box by default
so look through your distro CD or website.On many Linux systems, LSOF will be installed by
default. Try running lsof -v to see whether the program exists on your system. Search the output
with grep
for the string "LISTEN" as below, and observe the results:
lsof | grep LISTEN
5. Also, if you are paranoid, I would suggest getting the tripwire package.
This will monitor your system for changed system files.
6.Try to use your nmap scanner to check your own box.
If you don't have Nmap, you can download it from:
Try this with it:
nmap -sTU localhost
7. There are other useful tools for auditing your box, this one, called
Saint, is quite nice and very easy to use as well, it is controlled via
your web browser:
8. Another thing you might want to consider as a dial-up user is using a
logger such as ippl or iplog, which you can get here:
These daemons log TCP, UDP and ICMP traffic and are very useful for
detecting port scans and attempts to compromise your box. By default
output is sent to /var/log/messages. So you can watch what's happening
in real-time, open a term if you're in X-Windows or switch to another
virtual console otherwise and try this out:
tail -f /var/log/messages
9. Keep up to date with announcements of exploits and their appropriate
fixes so you know what to look out for, these URLs are especially good:
10. Use "pmap_dump" command to see RPC registered daemons...
11. If you have ipchains, you can type the following to avoid banners when surfing:
ipchains -A output -d 18.104.22.168/24 -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d 188.8.131.52/24 -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d www.doubleclick.net -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d ad.doubleclick.net -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d ad.doubleclick.com -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d ad.preferences.com -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d adbot.theonion.com -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d adpick.switchboard.com -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d ads.i33.com -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d ads.infospace.com -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d ads.msn.com -j REJECT
ipchains -A output -d ads.switchboard.com -j REJECT
12. If you have IPtables...to get a complete listing of iptables rules that are active on your
system, run the following commands(you need to log in as root):
/sbin/iptables -t nat -L -n -v
/sbin/iptables -t mangle -L -n -v
/sbin/iptables -t filter -L -n -v
And of course..you can use /sbin/iptables -L
13. Another netstat command if you paranoid as me..
# watch netstat -na | grep -i established
14. If you wanna know what applications and programs are running on your linux shell.
Type The Command ps ux should give you enough details. including the PID and the memory / CPU
15. My font in Linux to small so I edited /etc/X11/fs/config (use your own favorit editor), and
you willl see something like this :
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled, <<< I edit to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
After that ... Restart the font server as 'root' with "service xfs restart" to let the changes
take effect.
And BTW ..feel free to add some tips/tricks if you have one..cause I'm still learning..about Linux/*nix

Apptitude: App assists, so your taxes aren't too taxing
By Reid Kanaley
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | (MCT) Great news: The Internal Revenue Service began accepting tax returns this week. OK, maybe that�s not so great. But smartphone applications are here to help with the chore, though they need improvement.
Be cautious. Even though some apps promise free filing for simple federal returns, many still charge to prepare a return, or to file a state return.
Sure, TurboTax SnapTax, by Intuit Inc., is free for Android and Apple devices, but filing costs $24.99, and the app�s uses are limited. If you�ll be claiming deductions and credits for such things as tuition payments, mortgage interest, or charitable donations, the app quickly hands you off to the TurboTax website to complete your return.
SnapTax prompts you to snap photos of your W-2 forms, then answer questions about your filing status, state of residence, and so forth. A counter adds up your federal and state refunds as you proceed.
H&R Block, by HRB Tax Group Inc., free for iPhone and Android devices, takes a different tack. Instead of actually trying to do your taxes on the phone, this app finds a nearby H&R Block office for you and gives its hours of operation. You tap to call the office for an appointment. Or you may tap �choose a tax pro� and pick a tax preparer from the list, which includes each preparer�s basic resume.
Other functions of the H&R Block app will estimate your taxes and track your refund � though some early users were claiming it was balky at these tasks. A tax glossary likely will help if you get into the weeds on a return and need to know what the IRS means by an annuity starting date, or if you think you deserve a lead-paint credit.
Last year, I used the free IRS2Go app, from the Internal Revenue Service, to request copies of prior year�s tax returns, which the IRS delivered free by snail mail. The app provides a number of services you could find helpful during tax season.
Use it to track your refund, sign up for daily emailed tax tips, watch videos on how to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, learn how to appeal a tax dispute with the IRS, and a bunch more.
LawToGo Tax Forms & Instructions is a free, advertising-supported iPhone app from Jade Nile LLC, with some downloads costing extra. I didn�t notice ahead of time that this app was listed at a full 688 megabytes. It downloads hundreds and hundreds of pages of IRS tax forms and instructions to your phone for printing. But who knows? If you find yourself searching for one of those obscure forms on business partnerships or foreign oil and gas taxes, or you need Spanish-language forms late on April 14, you�ll have them. Most forms are free (a handful cost $1.99 each).

Poet Marie Ponsot will be awarded the Ruth Lily Poetry Prize in June, it was announced Monday. The Ruth Lily Poetry Prize, which comes with an award of $100,000, is given to a poet for lifetime achievement.
Ponsot's career began in the 1950s; her book "True Minds" was the first thing City Lights published after Allen Ginsberg's "Howl." While Ginsberg made a huge cultural splash with "Howl" and became immediately anointed as a significant beat poet, Ponsot took a different route; she was publicly quiet for 25 years. She was raising a family with seven children.
All along, she was writing. Her later publications include 1998's "The Bird Catcher," which won the National Book Critics Circle Award, "Easy" in 2009, "Springing" in 2002, "The Green Dark" in 1988, and 1981's "Admit Impediment." In 2002, she was the co-winner of the Poetry Society of America's Shelley Memorial Award, which is given for lifetime achievement.
Ponsot was born in 1921 in New York, where she graduated from high school at age 15. By the time she was 19, she had completed a masters in 17th century poetry at Columbia. She wrote for the Catholic Worker and, after World War II was over, traveled to France. She met Lawrence Ferlinghetti on the trip -- and also Claude Ponsot, the painter who would become her husband.
Her marriage fell apart in the 1960s and Ponsot turned to teaching to support her large family, writing poetry when she could steal the time -- "while children slept and popovers popped," she told The Times in 2002. "You just do it," she explained. "You do it because you've got to get your focus, even if it is for only half an hour or 20 minutes."
In a release about the prize, Christian Wiman, editor of Poetry magazine, noted Ponsot's distinctiveness as a contemporary poet: "T.S. Eliot once said that modern poets had lost the ability to think and feel at the same time. If only he could have read Marie Ponsot! Her poems are marvels of intellectual curiosity and acuity, and they will also break your heart."
The Ruth Lily Poetry Prize will be awarded at the Poetry Foundation in Chicago on June 10.

BEIJING (AP) — A well-known Chinese microblogger who has for years raised questions about government policies and actions — most recently a plan to build an oil refinery — has been detained on a seldom-used charge involving registering a business.
Supporters of Dong Rubin say his detention Tuesday in the southern Chinese city of Kunming is retribution by authorities for his activism.
"If they want to punish you, they can always find an excuse," Dong's friend Zheng Xiejian said. "They could not find any wrongdoing against Dong and had to settle on this obscure charge."
Dong's detention also comes amid a national campaign by China's leaders to clamp down on what they call online rumors and efforts to erode the rule of the Communist Party through lies and negative news.
Dong's lawyer, Xiao Dongzhi, on Thursday confirmed his client's detention, saying he was charged with inflating the amount of his business' capital when he registered it. Xiao noted that there was no victim in the transaction and that the charge is rarely leveled against anyone.
On his microblog, Dong said strangers raided his office in late August and took away three computers without providing any legal document. "What crime will they bring against me? Prostituting, gambling, using and selling drugs, evading tax, causing trouble on purpose, fabricating rumors, running a mafia online?" Dong wrote, listing possible offenses.
Dong is best known for pushing for thorough investigations of a suspicious death of a young man in a detention center in 2009. Authorities initially said it was accidental but later admitted the man was beaten to death.
Most recently, Dong raised safety and environmental concerns about an oil refinery project near the city of Kunming.

'Harry Potter' class lands UNH in hot water with Warner Bros.By GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
November 05. 2013 5:43PM
DURHAM — An online summer literature course offered by the University of New Hampshire for young readers gained the attention of Warner Bros., but not in an entirely positive way.
In September, the company sent a cease and desist letter to the university requesting that it stop using trademarks Warner Bros. felt were infringing upon the company's rights.
This included the names of some of the courses offered that echoed those Harry Potter would have taken in the immensely popular book and movie series.
Michelle Gluck, special counsel for the University System of New Hampshire, said the two sides were able to reach a resolution without any formal proceedings, and the university is planning to offer the course again this summer.
The university agreed to make some changes without admitting any wrongdoing, and Warner Bros. thanked them, Gluck said.
"We do not believe there will be any further interaction with Warner Bros. over the course," Gluck said.
The course was developed by UNH English and education professor James Krasner, an avid "Harry Potter" fan who realized what a good tool the books would be to teach middle school readers grammar and literature in a fun and engaging way.
Gluck said it is permissible to use copy written materials for classroom instruction.
"Otherwise you would never be able to teach a living author," Gluck said.
But Warner Bros. holds most of the rights to the trademarks associated with Harry Potter, including things that Gluck said the university did not feel were unique to the book, including titling one class "Potions."
"Warner Bros. is very protective of their trademarks because they are very lucrative," Gluck said.
To use the "Harry Potter" trademarks or properties for any kind of entertainment purpose or for goods to be sold a license is required.
"But that is not what UNH was doing," Gluck said.
She said Warner Bros. expressed concern that the design of the courses could create confusion, which is what the trademark law was designed to prevent.
"They thought the consumer could confuse the course with something being offered by Warner Bros. … that is not our position," Gluck said.
But in a gesture of good faith, UNH went over the course and made some changes that made Warner Bros. feel more comfortable.
Gluck said it is unusual for the university to receive such an order.
"Most of the things that adult students study don't have the same cache as children's literature," Gluck said.
But this kind of thing does happen from time to time.
"Warner Bros. has a reputation of being very active in trying to protect the "Harry Potter" trademarks to the point of shutting down things that really don't reflect on it all, but that is the path they have chosen to take," Gluck said.

Katy Hey Alexandra! I'm currently living in Buenos Aires, Argentina (where I came a month ago from France), and am also planning a trip around South America starting from September. My idea was to go from Argentina to Mexico visiting all the countries on the way, however I can adjust to my travel partners. I am flexible on the activities, but also wish to stay as cheap as possible :)

Topeka man enters suspected illegally-taken deer in Monster Buck Contest
TOPEKA — On Jan. 27-29, Mossy Oak Properties of the Heartland presented the inaugural Monster Buck Classic (We are Kansas) event at the Kansas ExpoCentre in Topeka. The event was designed to promote deer hunting and outdoor recreation in Kansas and to provide Kansas hunters with the latest information and equipment related to deer hunting.
In addition, the event featured a Monster Buck Contest, open to all Kansas residents, in which hunters could enter officially-scored bucks, with prizes offered to the largest deer in typical and non-typical categories for both white-tailed and mule deer. Fortunately for all law-abiding hunters, the contest helped expose the suspected illegal shooting of a big buck.
One entry, which would have potentially been a new Kansas state record, drew suspicion of Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) law enforcement officials, and after investigation, David V. Kent was charged with poaching the deer.
On Feb. 1, eight charges were filed against Kent by Osage County Attorney Brandon Jones in the District Court of Osage County, Fourth Judicial District, including criminal discharge of a firearm, criminal hunting, illegally hunting with an artificial light, hunting outside of legal hours, illegal hunting during a closed season, using an illegal caliber for taking big game, illegal hunting from a vehicle, and hunting without a valid deer permit.
Kent has been summoned to appear in Osage County District Court in Lyndon, Kan., on March 1, 2012, at 9 a.m.
"As a developer of the Mossy Oak Properties brand in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Iowa, I strongly condemn this type of behavior," said Brian D. Smith, CEO of Mossy Oak Properties of the Heartland and founder of the Kansas Big Buck Classic. "In fact, we believe in the stiffest penalties possible for poaching, and we played a strategic part in exposing this case. We cooperated 100 percent."

Pope Benedict XVI has established a special structure for Anglicans who want to be in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church while preserving aspects of their Anglican spiritual and liturgical heritage.
A new apostolic constitution would establish "personal ordinariates"—similar to dioceses—to oversee the pastoral care of those who want to bring elements of their Anglican identity into the Catholic Church with them. According to the new structure, Anglican priests who are married may be ordained Catholic priests, but married Anglican bishops will not be able to function as Catholic bishops, in keeping with the long-standing Catholic and Orthodox tradition of ordaining only unmarried clergy as bishops. In establishing the new structure, Pope Benedict XVI is responding to "many requests" from individual Anglicans and Anglican groups—including "20 to 30 bishops," said Cardinal William J. Levada, the Vatican's chief doctrinal official.
It is uncertain how many "high church" Anglicans may be tempted to accept the pope's framework, but in Britain there was speculation that entire parishes—even dioceses—would "go over to Rome." The Rev. David Houlding, the leader of the Catholic Group on the Anglican Church synod, said several hundred clergy would leave immediately and as many as 1,500 eventually, a desertion that could seriously damage the Church of England's efforts to preserve its Anglo-Catholic wing.
The announcement on Oct. 20 was a shock to many and apparently even something of a surprise to the leader of the Anglican Communion, Archbish-op Rowan Williams of Canterbury, who admitted he had not been consulted on the creation of the framework and only heard about the plan "a couple of weeks ago," as he spoke at a London press conference held jointly with the Roman Catholic archbishop of Westminster, Vincent Nichols. Williams said: "I do not think this constitution will be seen as in any sense a commentary on Anglican problems offered by the Vatican.... In that sense it has no negative impact on the relations of the communion as a whole to the Roman Catholic church as a whole. It is not an act of aggression. It is not a statement of no confidence. It is business as usual."
The British press seemed unconvinced. An analysis in the Times of London called Pope Benedict's decision an effort to "poach thousands of traditional Anglicans who are dismayed by growing acceptance of gays and women priests and bishops" in the global Anglican church.
In recent decades thousands of conservative priests and parishioners in England, America and Australia have left the 80-million-strong Anglican Communion in protest over the ordination of women and openly homosexual clergy. The pope's unprecedented move allows Anglicans to become fully incorporated into the Roman Catholic Church instead of forming small breakaway churches, while retaining parts of their Anglican heritage that do not clash with Catholic doctrine.
The extraordinary London press conference was accompanied by a parallel announcement from Cardinal Levada at the Vatican, who said the new provision does not weaken the commitment of the Vatican to promoting Christian unity, but is a recognition that many Anglicans share the Catholic faith and that Anglicans have a spiritual and liturgical life worth preserving. "It has always been the principal aim—the principal aim—to achieve the full, visible unity" of the Catholic Church and Anglican Communion, the cardinal said. The pope's apostolic constitution and norms for implementing it will be published after final revisions are completed.
