If you are in the Chicagoland area and have some time on your hands to do a little shopping, you might want to swing down by the Fox Valley mall area in Aurora to a nice spot called Nagoya for a bite to eat.
The food is superb and for under $12 USD you can enjoy the delights of a Japanese Hibachi, fresh Sushi, a fresh fruit bar, a fresh salad bar and a variety of miscellaneous food.
As we say in Chicago "this place is a good hit". I neglected to mention the ice cream bar! The staff is courteous, well trained and efficient.
The food is above average, the seafood is pretty fresh for midwest fare and the presentation is excellent.
I have really enjoyed my lunch at the Nagoya Japanese Seafood Buffett and will definitely be back again.
***Please note that Nagoya is closed now.

The Berkeley Climate Action Plan targets a 33% greenhouse gas emissions reduction below 2000 levels by the year 2020 and an 80% reduction below 2000 levels by 2050. To ensure that we stay on course to meet these targets, the City is tracking community-wide emissions and other key metrics over time. Check out the Climate Action Plan Progress page to review a range of metrics designed to illustrate progress toward our goals.
One of the ways the City tracks community-wide greenhouse gas emissions is by conducting an inventory of emissions by source. It helps to think of an inventory as a snapshot of community emissions for a given year. This snapshot is a useful tool for policy makers and community members because it estimates the main sources of global warming emissions for which the community is responsible. Equipped with this knowledge, we can better target programs and services to address these sources.
The emissions inventory also reminds us that we are both part of the global warming problem and part of the solution. The emissions that the inventory captures are the result of our energy consumption in our homes, businesses, industries and institutions and in our cars. By driving less, creating more energy efficient buildings, shifting to renewable sources of energy and by committing as a community to take action, we can collectively start to turn the tide on climate change.

Sydney Roosters v Canberra Raiders
Sydney Football Stadium, Saturday 17 April 2010, kickoff 7:30pm
A short turnaround for the Raiders will not help their cause in this match. Neither will the fact that the Roosters were so convincingly beaten last week. Canberra will find their hosts' attack much more difficult to control than the Eels and this makes the boys from Bondi justifiably favoured. The only way Canberra could cause another upset is if they get out to an early lead and hold on.
They won't. The Roosters main strength and advantage in this game is Mitchell Pearce. He will guide his forwards around the park to open enough gaps in the Raiders defence for Todd Carney and an experienced backline to take advantage. The Raiders will use their size to intimidate the smaller Roosters pack but won't have the legs to capitalise. Todd Carney and Phil Graham playing against their old club will be interesting, to say the least.
Man of the Match Prediction: Mitchell Pearce
Tip: Roosters 28-18
Roosters: 1. Todd Carney 2. Anthony Minichiello 3. Phil Graham 4. Shaun Kenny-Dowall 5. Sam Perrett 6. Braith Anasta (c) 7. Mitchell Pearce 8. Lopini Paea 9. Nick Kouparitsas 10. Frank-Paul Nuuausala 11. Aidan Guerra 12. Mitchell Aubusson 13. Nate Myles
Interchange: 14. Daniel Conn 15. Jason Ryles 16. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves 17. Ben Jones
Raiders: 1. Josh Dugan 2. James Stuart 3. Jarrod Croker 4. Joel Thompson 5. Daniel Vidot 6. Terry Campese 7. Josh McCrone 8. David Shillington 9. Alan Tongue (c) 10. Scott Logan 11. Joe Picker 12. Bronson Harrison 13. Shaun Fensom

Some excerpts that are as good for public television television as for public radio radio:
If what we do is essential, resources will follow.
Questions we're asking at MPR as part of our strategic planning:
- Is our community directly informing the services we provide?
- Is the whole community involved with our station?
- Are we providing something uniquely and distinctly valuable to our community?
- What other organizations have a vested interest in the success of our station?
- What do we do that has the whole community talking?

API:Asebter agejdan
|This page is part of the MediaWiki Action API documentation.
- Tagi d tazwaet n "tigawt" API. See the menu bar on the right for more detailed sub-topics and other APIs.
The MediaWiki action API is a web service that provides convenient access to wiki features, data, and meta-data over HTTP, via a URL usually at
Clients request particular "actions" by specifying an
action parameter, mainly
action=query to get information.
It was known as the MediaWiki API, but there are now other web APIs available that connect to MediaWiki such as REST API and the Wikidata query service.
The MediaWiki action API can be used to monitor a MediaWiki installation, or create a bot to automatically maintain one. It provides direct, high-level access to the data contained in MediaWiki databases. Client programs can log in to a wiki, get data, and post changes automatically by making HTTP requests to the web service. Supported clients include bots, thin web-based JavaScript clients such as Navigation popups and LiveRC, end-user applications such as Vandal Fighter, and other web sites (Toolforge's utilities).
On new MediaWiki installations, the web service is enabled by default, but an administrator can disable it.
MediaWiki has two other outward-facing interfaces:
- The Special:Export page, which provides bulk export of wiki content as XML. Read Help:Export for more information.
- The standard web-based interface (which you are likely using right now to view this page). Read Manual:Parameters to index.php for information on using the web-based interface.
A simple example
This URL tells English Wikipedia's web service API to send you the content of the main page:
Use any programming language to make an HTTP GET request for that URL (or just visit that link in your browser), and you'll get a JSON document which includes the current wiki markup for the page titled "Main Page".
Changing the format to
jsonfm will return a "pretty-printed" HTML result good for debugging.
Here is the jsonfm URL as an easier-to-read clickable link.
Let's pick that URL apart to show how it works.
The endpoint
This is the endpoint.
It's like the home page of the MediaWiki web service API.
This URL is the base URL for English Wikipedia's API, just as
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ is the base URL for its web site.
If you're writing a program to use English Wikipedia, every URL you construct will begin with this base URL. If you're using a different MediaWiki installation, you'll need to find its endpoint and use that instead. All Wikimedia wikis have endpoints that follow this pattern:
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php # MediaWiki API
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php # English Wikipedia API
https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/api.php # Dutch Wikipedia API
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php # Wikimedia Commons API
|MediaWiki version:
|≥ 1.17
Since r75621, we have RSD for the endpoint: look for the
link rel="EditURI" in the HTML source of any page and extract the
api.php URL; the actual link contains additional info.
For instance, on this wiki it's:
<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" href="//www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=rsd" />
Otherwise, there's no safe way to locate the endpoint on any wiki.
If you're lucky, either the full path to index.php will not be hidden under strange rewrite rules so that you'll only have to take the "edit" (or history) link and replace index.php (etc.) with api.php, or you'll be able to use the default script path (like
Now let's move on to the parameters in the query string of the URL.
The format
This tells the API that we want data to be returned in JSON format.
You might also want to try
format=jsonfm to get an HTML version of the result that is good for debugging.
The API supports other output formats such as XML and native PHP, but there are plans to remove less popular formats (phab:T95715), so you might not want to use them.
The action
The MediaWiki web service API implements dozens of actions and extensions implement many more; the dynamically generated API help documents all available actions on a wiki. In this case, we're using the "query" action to get some information. The "query" action is one of the API's most important actions, and it has extensive documentation of its own. What follows is just an explanation of a single example.
Action-specific parameters
The rest of the example URL contains parameters used by the "query" action.
Here, we're telling the web service API that we want information about the Wiki page called "Main Page".
(The %20 is a percent-encoded space.)
If you need to query multiple pages, put them all in one request to optimize network and server resources:
See the query documentation for details.
You can request many kinds of information, or properties, about a page. This parameter tells the web service API that we want information about a particular revision of the page. Since we're not specifying any revision information, the API will give us information about the latest revision — the main page of Wikipedia as it stands right now.
Finally, this parameter tells the web service API that we want the content of the latest revision of the page.
If we passed in
rvprop=content|user instead, we'd get the latest page content and the name of the user who made the most recent revision.
Again, this is just one example.
Queries are explained in more detail here, and the API reference lists all the possible actions, all the possible values for
rvprop, and so on.
Getting started
Before you start using the MediaWiki web service API, be sure to read these documents:
- The FAQ.
- The page about input and output formats
- The page about errors and warnings
- Any policies that apply to the wiki you want to access, such as Wikimedia Foundation wikis' terms of use, trademark policy. These terms apply to you when you access or edit using the API, just as they do when you use your web browser.
Beyond that point, what you need to read depends on what you want to do. The right-hand menu links to detailed, task-specific documentation, and some more general guidelines are given below.
Identifying your client
When you make HTTP requests to the MediaWiki web service API, be sure to specify a
User-Agent header that properly identifies your client. Don't use the default
User-Agent provided by your client library, but make up a custom header that identifies your script or service and provides some type of means of contacting you (e.g., an e-mail address).
An example User-Agent string might look like:
MyCoolTool/1.1 (https://example.org/MyCoolTool/; email@example.com) BasedOnSuperLib/1.4
On Wikimedia wikis, if you don't supply a
User-Agent header, or you supply an empty or generic one, your request will fail with an HTTP 403 error (cf. m:User-Agent policy). Other MediaWiki installations may have similar policies.
User-Agent header: the browser will use its own. To work around this, use the
Api-User-Agent header:
// Using XMLHttpRequest
xhr.setRequestHeader( 'Api-User-Agent', 'Example/1.0' );
// Using jQuery
$.ajax( {
url: remoteUrlWithOrigin,
data: queryData,
dataType: 'json',
type: 'POST',
headers: { 'Api-User-Agent': 'Example/1.0' },
success: function(data) {
// do something with data
} );
// Using mw.Api, specify it when creating the mw.Api object
var api = new mw.Api( {
ajax: {
headers: { 'Api-User-Agent': 'Example/1.0' }
} );
api.get( {...} ).done(function(data) {
// do something with data
// Using fetch
fetch( remoteUrlWithOrigin, {
method: 'POST',
headers: new Headers( {
'Api-User-Agent': 'Example/1.0'
} )
// Other init settings such as 'credentials'
} ).then( function ( response ) {
if ( response.ok ) {
return response.json();
throw new Error( 'Network response was not ok: ' + response.statusText );
} ).then( function ( data ) {
// do something with data
In PHP, you can identify your user-agent with code such as this:
ini_set('user_agent', 'MyCoolTool/1.1 (https://example.org/MyCoolTool/; firstname.lastname@example.com) BasedOnSuperLib/1.4');
Or if you use cURL:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'MyCoolTool/1.1 (https://example.org/MyCoolTool/; firstname.lastname@example.com) BasedOnSuperLib/1.4');
Logging in
Your client will probably need to log in to MediaWiki, possibly via its own user account. See the login manual page for details.
API etiquette
Please also read: API:Etiquette
If your requests obtain data that can be cached for a while, you should take steps to cache it, so you don't request the same data over and over again. More information about rate-limiting, concurrency, and general API etiquette can be found at API:Etiquette. Some clients may be able to cache data themselves, but for others (particularly JavaScript clients), this is not possible.
Per the HTTP specification, POST requests cannot be cached. Therefore, whenever you're reading data from the web service API, you should use GET requests, not POST.
Also note that a request cannot be served from cache unless the URL is exactly the same. If you make a request for
api.php?....titles=Foo|Bar|Hello, and cache the result, then a request for
api.php?....titles=Hello|Bar|Hello|Foo will not go through the cache — even though MediaWiki returns the same data!
You should take care to normalize the URLs you send to the MediaWiki web service, so that slightly different user input won't cause you to waste time on unnecessary HTTP requests. You can normalize a list of page titles by removing duplicates and sorting the titles alphabetically. Similar techniques will work for other kinds of data.

Having gotten through the last of the last in the Bugs series, (and that includes TV cartoons and 90's theatrical specials), I have to say that from 1959-1964, if you watch the films chronologically, it is possible to watch Bugs Bunny die. First came the real-life deaths of Elmer Fudd actor Arthur Q. Bryan. Then came the death of music composer Milt Franklyn. Then came a car wreck that reduced Mel Blanc to a body cast. From late 1959 to 1964, these factors combined to spell death for Bugs Bunny, and it's apparent on-screen.
Franklyn's death was worst of all for Friz Freleng and his signature character, Yosemite Sam. Freleng was a master of timing because he timed his cartoons to music, and when the music was no longer a factor thanks to Franklyn's incompetent successor, Bill Lava, Friz (and Sam) were sunk.
In this first of a series of posts, let's take a look at what I consider Yosemite Sam's last hurrah...(aside from one other cartoon I'll get to next.) It's Friz's 1960 "Horse Hare". Franklyn was still in the game, a good story by Michael Maltese helps, and the gags and dialogue are excellent. Sadly, Native American stereotypes have kept this film off TV and video for several years. But enjoy it anyway, it only gets worse from here, as we examine: YOSEMITE SAM'S JOURNEY TO HELL!

High water can be dangerous for boaters
PRATT – Boating is a July 4th holiday tradition with many Kansans, and the officials at the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks are stressing safety this weekend. Law Enforcement Division assistant director Dan Hesket wants park visitors to enjoy the holiday but emphasizes the need for boaters to use caution.
"Holiday weekends are usually busy with boaters on our lakes, and natural resource officers will be there to enforce boating laws and keep waters safe," Hesket said. "However, high-water levels at some lakes will require boaters to use extra caution this weekend."
Hesket warns boaters to watch for the following:
- Floating debris – Debris such as timber or logs can be difficult to detect. High winds will push the debris to various locations.
- Muddy water – Rising water levels often increase turbidity. Muddy water can make a floating log or a large rock just under the surface difficult to see.
- Items that have dislodged because of the rising water -- If campsites are flooded, equipment such as picnic tables can become hazards and may even be washed away from shore.
- Buoys off mark – Be aware that buoys may have been pulled away from their original anchor. Use caution when boating in unfamiliar waters.
Hesket added that boats must be equipped with an approved personal floatation device (PFD) for each person on board and that PFDs be readily accessible. Persons 12 and younger must wear a PFD while on board or being towed.

AN OXFORDSHIRE scientist is attracting international attention with his new theories about the world's most famous maritime disaster.
Richard Corfield, from Long Hanborough, has advanced new ideas about the role of science in the sinking of the Titanic, on the 100th anniversary of the catastrophe.
Writing in the journal Physics World, he takes a look at the cascade of events that led to the demise of the 'unsinkable' ship, highlighting the significant roles played by maths and physics.
And he will share his findings at a special Titanic-themed dinner at The Boot, in Barnard Gate, near Witney on Saturday.
The evening, billed as a commemoration of the Titanic with food, companionship, reflection and education, will feature dishes served on the ship on the night it struck the iceberg.
The Titanic, which was bound from Southampton to New York, struck an iceberg just off the coast of Newfoundland, on April 14 1912, and became fully submerged within three hours, before dropping four kilometres to the bottom of the Atlantic.
There have been many stories recounting why the ship struck the iceberg, and why two-thirds of the passengers and crew lost their lives, including the lack of lifeboats, the absence of binoculars in the crow's nest, and the shortcomings of the radio operator.
Mr Corfield, of Hanborough Consultants, has studied the structural deficiencies of the ship and how these – and the weather – contributed to its demise.
His investigations highlight the work of metallurgists who found that the rivets that held the ship's hull together were not uniform in composition or quality and had not been inserted in a uniform fashion.
He explained: "This meant that, in practice, the region of the Titanic's hull that hit the iceberg was substantially weaker than the main body of the ship.
"As well as the actual make-up of the ship, it also appears that the climate thousands of miles away from where the ship sunk may have played a role.
"At times when the weather is warmer than usual in the Caribbean, the Gulf Stream intersects with the glacier-carrying Labrador Current in the North Atlantic in such a way that icebergs are aligned to form a barrier of ice. In 1912 the Caribbean experienced an unusually hot summer and so the Gulf Stream was particularly intense. The Titanic hit the iceberg right at that intersection.
"No one thing sent the Titanic to the bottom of the North Atlantic. Rather, the ship was ensnared by a perfect storm of circumstances that conspired her to doom."
- Tickets for Saturday's Titanic evening are £30 per head for a four-course meal taken from the Titanic menu. Wine is not included. Call 01865 881231.

New Views of Kappa Crucis Cluster
by AMNH on
A new series of telescope images taken with conventional cameras, high-resolution ground telescopes, and the Hubble Space Telescope show glittering details of this colorful star cluster in the Southern Cross constellation.
The cluster is about 6,400 light-years away, and is visible in the Southern Hemisphere. Its monicker was bestowed by John Herschel, who in the 1830s observed that the striking color contrasts of its pale blue and orange stars reminded him of a piece of exotic jewellery.

Anthem Blue Cross Settles Mandatory Mail Order Lawsuit on HIV Medications
By Michelle J. Sherman, R.Ph., A.A.H.I.V.P.
June 6, 2013
On May 23, a settlement was reached in San Diego Superior Court in the lawsuit brought against Anthem Blue Cross when Anthem instituted mandatory mail order on HIV specialty drugs.
The mandatory mail order would have serious risks to HIV patient health and safety, as well as threats to their privacy. Community HIV Pharmacies that have HIV-credentialed pharmacists and sensitive, caring staff can continue to provide exceptional care to their HIV patients, with whom they have built strong relationships, built on care and trust for many years.
As the result of a settlement in a recent lawsuit, Anthem Blue Cross has agreed to provide a simple "opt-out" option for patients who wish to remain with their local community pharmacy. That policy permits patients to opt out for any reason by calling a dedicated phone number. This provision went into effect June 1. Patients will have until August 1, 2013, to make their request to opt out of the mail order program.
Download the sample letter here.
The HIV pharmacist is a key member of the patient's health care team and will now work with their Anthem Blue Cross patients to educate them on the importance of face-to-face health care counseling from pharmacists specializing in HIV/AIDS, and help their patients understand the opt-out process.
Legislative action has also been initiated in California and the California Pharmacists Association (CPhA) has introduced a bill to the California Legislature known as AB 299 (Holden) to put an end to mandatory mail programs and give patients a choice with mail order. John Roth, CEO of CPhA, said:

I purchased these for my 2010 Toyota Yaris. I had a lot of room to work with so I did not need to remove my front bumper. It pretty easy and took about 20 minutes. Day and night difference from the stock head bulbs. They really illuminate the road with bright white light. I was worried these would have sort of a blue tint like other cars do, which looks really cheap and ghetto but no, these are bright white, they are similar to my BMW lights and look great.

AUBURNDALE, Fla. -- The baseball team came from behind but could not complete the rally as they continued their seven game Florida trip with a 10-6 loss against St. Norbert on Tuesday.
The Panthers struck first, reaching St. Norbert for a first inning run when Cole Lawson led of with a bunt single, stole second base, went to third on a ground ball, and scored on David Massengill's sacrifice fly.
The Knights plated four runners in the top of the fourth, but Greenville answered by manufacturing a run of their own in the fourth. Adam Wallace singled, advanced to second on a wild pitch, reached third on a groundout, and ran home on Lawson's sacrifice fly.
After allowing the Knights to push their lead back to three, the Panthers scored twice in the bottom of the sixth. Hunter Bryan beat out a grounder to third and scored when Adam Wallace tripled. Wallace later gave Greenville a run when he scored on a wild pitch.
St. Norbert pushed across a run in the top of the sixth, but Greenville tied up the game with two runs in the bottom of seventh on Cole Lawson's two-run triple. The triple plated Adam Wallace and Cody Pilcher. Wallace singled in the inning and advanced to third when the pitcher threw away Tyler Pilcher's comebacker to the mound.
The Panthers adverted disaster in the top of the eighth when reliever Scott Voyles escaped a bases-loaded one out jam by getting the Knights to ground into an inning-ending double play.
Greenville couldn't hold off the Knights who tallied four runs in the top of the ninth to win the game.
The Panthers (1-7) return to action Thursday against Ripon in a single game at Noon CT.

ATLANTA (AP) - Police officers, sheriff's deputies and state troopers across Georgia are launching a statewide crackdown on drunken driving through upcoming the Fourth of July holiday.
The Governor's Office of Highway Safety says its summer campaign called Operation Zero Tolerance begins Friday and will run for about two weeks.
During that period, law enforcement officers in the state are expected to keep a close lookout for drivers impaired by drugs or alcohol.
State officials say 298 people died in alcohol-related crashes in 2010 - roughly a fourth of traffic deaths in the state.
The summer anti-DUI campaign in Georgia coincides with the national crackdown called Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

I learned what makes an engaging story from my favorite mystery novel authors, market research and my own personal experience.
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) November 19, 2012
After the recent death of Lance Underphal's wife, the crime scene photographer woke up plagued by premonitions. The double shooting of an Arizona real estate developer and his mistress/bookkeeper sent Underphal over the edge. A scenario like this seems like it would be pulled from a murder mystery novel—which is exactly what it was. This is a glimpse into new author Michael Allan Scott's newest fiction book, Dark Side of Sunset Pointe, written to engage and entertain adult readers.
Scott approached the writing of his book in a unique way; he outsourced a lengthy market research study to see exactly what mystery novel readers want to read. The study revealed that over 60% of readers were interested in a scenario that could happen in real life.
Scott isn't the only author who understands that actual events make a mystery novel more believable and compelling. Elaine Hirsh, writer for onlinemastersdegree.com, said, "thrillers and mysteries based on real events bring relevance to otherwise bland stories, which gives chills to readers that are harder to dismiss." She later goes on to list well-known novels that are based on real events (albeit embellished by authors) (1):
● The Exorcist, by William Peter Blatty, was made popular because of its graphic film version. However, before the film shocked the world, it was a novel based on the 1949 exorcism of a young boy.
● The Girl Next Door, by Jack Ketchum, is based on the crime of Sylvia Likens, a young girl whose parents left her with a near total stranger while they worked in a traveling show. Her guardian retained custody of Sylvia for three months, during which she tortured Sylvia until her death.
● In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote, is perhaps the most famous true crime novel of all time. It is based on the 1959 murders of a family in Kansas. The research for the novel was conducted by Truman Capote and Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird.
In Scott's newest mystery novel, Dark Side of Sunset Pointe, he uses his experience as a real estate professional to create an authentic plot with relatable characters.
Dark Side of Sunset Pointe is scheduled to be released November, 2012:
"Frank Salmon, the hard-boiled homicide detective on the case, comes to see Underphal as an asset. Salmon uses Underphal's prescient visions to piece together hard evidence. But the trail goes cold until a double homicide at a fast food drive-thru leads back to the shady developer's death.
Salmon pursues the clues through twists and turns, leading him from a popular strip club to a failing community bank, adding a blackmailing stripper's murder to the body count."
"I learned what makes an engaging story from my favorite mystery novel authors, market research and my own personal experience," commented Scott. "My readers will connect better if they can picture something similar happening in real life."

About Michael Allan Scott:
Michael Allan Scott was born and raised at the edge of the high desert in Kingman, Arizona. He started in early 1978 by forming a commercial real estate company, but for years secretly wrote stories and poetry for his own satisfaction. His works include Dark Side of Sunset Pointe, due to be released in November, 2012, and Flight of the Tarantula Hawk, due to be released in the spring of 2013. Scott uses real-life scenarios as inspiration for his novels. His murder mysteries contain strong language, violence and sex, and are rated "R".

In a joint statement, the two governments said they have agreed on steps to carry out commitments to curb output of greenhouse gases that trap solar heat in the atmosphere. Those include reducing vehicle emissions, improving energy efficiency of buildings and other measures.
China and the United States are the biggest sources of emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases that cause the atmosphere to trap solar heat and alter the climate. Scientists warn such changes will lead to drought and other extreme weather conditions.
The two governments will "contribute significantly to successful 2015 global efforts to meet this challenge," the statement said.
It cited the "overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change and its worsening impacts, and the related issue of air pollution from burning fossil fuels," and said the two countries recognize the urgent need for action.
Beijing and Washington launched the U.S.-China Climate Change Working Group last year. They promised progress in five areas -- reducing vehicle emissions, advanced electric power grids, capturing and storing carbon emissions, gather greenhouse gas data and building efficiency.

STAUNTON – There will be frequent lane closures during the week of Nov. 1-5 at the Interstate 81 truck climbing lane project in Rockbridge County. All work is weather permitting. Motorists should anticipate possible delays in this area.
Blasting will occur on Nov. 2, Nov. 3 and Nov. 4 at 1:30 p.m. The blasting locations will be on I-81 between mile-markers 197 to 199. Signs are posted in this area. Both northbound and southbound lanes will have a rolling mobile lane closure.
Single nighttime lane closures will be northbound from mile-marker 195.5 and 196.5 on Nov. 1, Nov. 2, Nov. 3 and Nov. 4 between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. The right lane will be closed.
The blasting is part of the I-81 truck climbing lane project in Rockbridge County. The work zone is along the northbound lanes from mile marker 195.6 to 202.5, which is just north of Lexington. Blasting days will change weekly depending on project progress. Both northbound and southbound lanes will have a rolling mobile lane closure. Traffic will be slowed down so the blast area is clear of traffic during the actual blast period. Traffic will immediately resume through the area once conditions are deemed safe by crews at the site. Blasting operations are estimated to continue through November.
The I-81 truck climbing lane project valued at $74.2 million was awarded by Commonwealth Transportation Board on Feb. 5, 2009 to W. C. English Inc. of Lynchburg. Completion is scheduled for fall 2012. The work zone is along the northbound lanes from mile marker 195.6 to 202.5, which is just north of Lexington.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Warner Brothers' "Jack the Giant Slayer," the first big-budget, special effects-filled action movie of 2013, could be headed for less than huge sales at U.S. and Canadian box offices when it opens on March 1.
Industry tracking suggests the 3D movie based on the "Jack and the Beanstalk" fairy tale will debut with $27 million to $32 million in the domestic market during its first three days, according to sources who have seen the pre-release surveys.
The projections had climbed slightly from earlier in the week and could change closer to next Friday's opening after marketing heats up and press coverage intensifies.
"Jack the Giant Slayer" cost an estimated $189 million to make.
Two of last year's films with bigger budgets flopped, Walt Disney Co's $250 million Mars epic "John Carter" and the $209 million action movie "Battleship" from Comcast Corp's Universal Pictures, forcing the companies to acknowledge financial losses.
Distributor Warner Brothers, part of Time Warner Inc, believes "Jack the Giant Slayer" will attract a broad family audience and hopes for a North American (U.S. and Canadian) debut above $30 million, said Dan Fellman, president of theatrical distribution for the studio. He said he expects the studio will make a profit on the movie.
Warner Brothers surveys showed "tremendous support" for the movie among people age 15 and younger, and the film received positive reactions from theater owners, Fellman said, noting that family audiences haven't had a big-event film since December's "The Hobbit."
The first weekend in March also has proved a winner for family films, Fellman said. A year ago, animated hit "The Lorax" opened with a strong $70 million.
In addition, "the international side of the market will be huge," Fellman said.
A $30 million domestic opening for "Jack the Giant Slayer" would be "soft" for a big-budget film, said Janney Montgomery Scott analyst Tony Wible, who compiles a database to project film performance. Warner Brothers could still make back the movie's budget, not including marketing costs, if the film opens domestically with at least $25 million, he said Wible.
Last year, Disney was forced to take a $200 million write-down for "John Carter." And the chief financial officer of Comcast, Michael J. Angelakis, acknowledged in a call with analysts that "Battleship" was "primarily" responsible for Universal's $83 million second-quarter loss.
"Jack the Giant Slayer" was produced by Warner Brothers and Legendary Entertainment, which partnered with Warner on hits including "The Dark Knight" trilogy and "The Hangover" series.
Warner Brothers last year delayed the release of "Jack the Giant Slayer," moving it from last summer to March 1.
The film stars Nicholas Hoult as a young farmer who ventures into the land of the giants to rescue a kidnapped princess.
The movie's trailer suggests the studio is aiming for "Lord of the Rings" fans, said Phil Contrino, editor of Boxoffice.com, a website that tracks film comments on Facebook and Twitter.
So far, "it's just not connecting with fantasy fans," said Contrino, who estimates the film will take in about $23 million in the United States and Canada during its first three days.
The movie still has time to build more buzz and could enjoy a domestic sales boost if families turn out in force, Contrino said. Plus, "I can really see a movie like that clicking overseas," he said.
International ticket sales can run at least twice as high as U.S. and Canadian grosses for big action movies.

Among the highlights are two major retrospectives: CIMMPathy for the Stones, celebrating the Rolling Stones' 50 years of music on film including screenings of ten concert films and documentaries plus guest appearances; and a special film tribute event with Melvin Van Peebles, who will be in attendance and turns 80 this year. The native Chicago writer, actor, and director is renowned for heralding a new era of African-American films with his Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971). As well, Van Dyke Parks will headline a special "Evening with.." program featuring short films about Parks directed by his son Christopher, conversations about his life in music, and performances of his many classic songs.
New this year is the launch of CIMMCon, a dynamic professional and entrepreneurial industry conference, presented in association with Columbia College Chicago and the Engineering and Recording Society of Chicago (EARS). CIMMCon will offer compelling presentations from industry professionals, film icons, artist entrepreneurs, and music makers, including Keynote Speaker Martin Atkins (Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Public image Limited, Killing Joke) renowned for his candor regarding the music business. This new conference promises unparalleled access to the people - past, present and future – who create, market, and disrupt the business of making music and movies. CIMMcon events will offer essential insights into the business, the personalities and the profession of music, film, and technology as a global phenomenon at a crossroads.
Along with over 70 films and videos from more than 20 countries, 2013 will see the expansion of the festival's live music section, presenting label showcases (Bloodshot Records, Burger Records, Polyvinyl, ASCAP, Captcha and more), curated concerts, and innovative live multimedia events including Manual Cinema, Sister Spit, and numerous live film scoring performances at participating venues.
"For the past four years in the springtime, CIMMfest has brought thousands of filmmakers, musicians, and their passionate fans, to theaters, galleries, clubs, and concert halls in Chicago's most eclectic, culturally vibrant neighborhoods. Festival central runs along Milwaukee Avenue and the 'Blue Line' train from Wicker Park to Logan Square with 15 partner venues. Film screenings, live concerts, presentations, and panels during the day, slamming concerts when the sun goes down, there is simply nothing like CIMMfest," said Josh Chicoine, CIMMFest Co-Director with Ilko Davidov.

Well, we finally made it! It's almost the end and despite there being something like 8 decoy collections, the finalist for this season of Project Runway were chosen! Are you relieved or is that just me?
The designers meet Heidi Klum on the runway and she explains all four designers will design a collection. But only three of them will be moving forward to compete at fashion week. They will have 5 weeks and $9k to create a 10-look collection. Tim Gunn – intellectual and compassionate sounding board – will be checking in on the designers mid-way through to provide feedback.
All the contestants engage in the tried and true emotional breakdown, crying, 'I can't believe I made it tears' and they're off! Viktor and Eyebrows McSequins hop on a subway and zoom off home. I always love it when the contestants walk or cab it home from Parsons at the end. Remember in season 3 when Laura Bennett with all her fabulous vintage LV luggage and her Manolos just walked right out of the studio and cruised the couple blocks home? Classic.

Police: Woman gets violent when CPS tries to remove child
Police: Woman gets violent when CPS tries to remove child
LOUISVILLE, Ky —
Officers were dispatched with CPS to the Park Hill area to remove an infant from a home Thursday night.
According to the arrest slip, Denise Wilson objected to giving CPS temporary custody of the child.
When officers tried to remove the 8-month-old from the home, Wilson squeezed the baby with her arms, shaking the baby from side to side.
Officers said her actions caused danger of physical injury to the child.
Wilson also threatened the social worker stating she would "get hers."
Wilson was charged with wanton endangerment in the second degree, obstruction of governmental operations, and terroristic threatening in the third degree.

BANGKOK (AP) — Asian stock markets mostly struggled to advance Friday after data showed Europe slipped back into recession and several big U.S. retailers disappointed investors with weak forecasts.
The European Union's statistics agency said Thursday that the combined economy of the 17 countries that use the euro contracted 0.1 percent in the third quarter from the previous quarter. Surveys pointing to difficult conditions ahead suggest the recession could deepen.
"Although unsurprising, data in Europe confirmed that the region fell back into recession, an outcome that will do little to ease tensions," analysts at Credit Agricole CIB in Hong Kong said in an email commentary.
In the U.S., investors were dealt dual blows: worse-than-expected revenue from global retailing giant Wal-Mart and data showing that manufacturing weakened in the Philadelphia and New York regions, reflecting damage from Superstorm Sandy. Wal-Mart, Ross Stores and Limited Brands, the owner of Victoria's Secret, also disappointed investors by issuing profit forecasts that fell short of expectations.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.4 percent to 21,193.50. South Korea's Kospi fell 0.2 percent to 1,868,06. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.2 percent at 4,341.70. Benchmarks in Taiwan and Singapore fell. Thailand and the Philippines rose.
But Japan's Nikkei 225 stock index jumped 1.9 percent to 8,998.76, rallying for a second straight day on expectations that the opposition Liberal Democratic Party may win elections next month and pursue more aggressive stimulus policies than the current leadership.
LDP leader Shinzo Abe has said he is determined to push for such policies and to find ways to weaken the yen, whose strength against other currencies has hammered exporters.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 0.2 percent to 12,542.38. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 0.2 percent to 1,353.33. The Nasdaq composite index lost 0.4 percent to 2,836.94.
Benchmark oil for December delivery was up 4 cents to $85.49 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 87 cents to close at $85.45 a barrel in New York on Thursday.
In currencies, the dollar weakened to 81.06 yen from 81.21 yen late Thursday in New York. The euro was unchanged at $1.2773.

How Much Do Most People Really Care About Privacy?
from the or-will-they-only-once-it's-too-late dept
So that leads to some questions. If people really don't care, is privacy that important? Or is it a situation where people don't realize how much they should care and how much it can impact them? Or... alternatively, is it that people really do have a handle on the situations and realize that, for the most part, these privacy breaches really don't have that big of an impact (especially when they're so large scale that everyone is lumped in together). To some extent, the vastness of some of these privacy issues reminds me of David Brin's old suggestion that the world could be a better place if no one has any privacy, because that complete lack of privacy effectively lets everyone watch everyone else (so there's no asymmetry in the information) and also hides the minor issues that you want to keep private, because everyone's doing them, and so no one pays any attention.
I'm not convinced that's necessarily the case, but I am curious to see how this plays out. Even as some people have done a lot of grandstanding and get a lot of attention on privacy issues, if the majority of people really don't care, and don't see any real impact to questionable privacy practices, do we actually start to move to a world where privacy isn't seen as such an important idea?

In a post about the entire rookie QB class of 2012, Wilson is 80% of the talk in it. I love it.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100000 ... Darlington
Also, on the table that shows 4th quarter comebacks to win games, look at Wilson's list of opponents versus Luck's. LOL. Talk about a discrepancy the size of CANHawk's mouth!
NFL.com is definitely giving our boy plenty of props for several weeks, now. He's definitely got a shot at Rookie of the Year. We should let him loose passing the next three weeks.

I. In Focus This Week
Litigation Update
By electionline.org staff
Six months after the 2010 election, courtrooms across the country are still sorting out disputes from the November vote. Two of the more high-profile cases had developments this week:
Ohio Provisional Ballot Controversy
On April 5, the Hamilton County (Cincinnati), Ohio Election Board indicated that they will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review a recent federal appeals court decision involving provisional ballots in a recent judge's race.
In November, GOP candidate John Williams defeated Democrat Tracie Hunter by just 23 votes out of nearly 220,000 cast, but a dispute arose soon thereafter about whether and how to count hundreds of provisional ballots that could affect the outcome. These provisional ballots were cast in polling places with tables for multiple precincts but were cast at the wrong table (precinct), which disqualifies them under Ohio law. Democrats claim that many of voters whose provisional ballots were rejected ended up in the wrong precinct because of pollworker error and should therefore be counted.
The case has had a complicated procedural history – including application of the terms of a pre-existing settlement in another case (NEOCH v. Blackwell) and conflicting directives from outgoing Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner (D) and her successor Jon Husted (R).
In December, a federal district court ordered the Hamilton County Board of Elections to conduct an expedited investigation of pollworker error. In early January, the Ohio Supreme Court clarified in State ex rel. Painter v. Brunner that "wrong-precinct" provisional ballots are not eligible to be counted under state law, whatever the reason for being cast in the wrong precinct.
Later that month, a panel of the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that while the Ohio Supreme Court's opinion had clarified the law, the fact that an investigation had begun – and that some "pollworker error" ballots had already been counted – created an equal protection problem pursuant to Bush v. Gore.
After the full 6th Circuit refused to reconsider the panel's opinion, the Hamilton County Board (whose Chairman is also leads the county GOP) – with the assistance of tie-breaking vote from Husted over the objection of two Democratic members -- voted to bring the case to the nation's highest court. If the Court agrees to take the case (which they are not obliged to do) it could provide an opportunity to offer further guidance on the future implications of Bush v. Gore.
Challenge to Eligibility of Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White
On April 7 Marion Circuit Court Judge Louis Rosenberg ruled that the Indiana Democratic Party's challenge to Charlie White's (R) eligibility to serve as secretary of state is valid, and he sent it back to the Indiana Recount Commission to be resolved.
Rosenberg heard arguments on Wednesday on whether White was legally eligible to serve as the state's chief election officer.
Attorneys for the state Democratic Party argued that White was not legally registered to vote in the State, a requirement to hold office. The Democrats believe Vop Osili, White's Democratic opponent in the 2010 general election (who was defeated handily by White), should be declared the winner. The State Recount Commission rejected this argument in December 2010; Osili and his attorneys seek to reverse that decision.
Rosenberg ruled that the Recount Commission must allow the Democrats to present their case. Rosenberg could've allowed the case to proceed in his courtroom, but in his ruling he said he felt that by sending it back to the Recount Commission, he would be creating "an opportunity for the political system to regain credibility."
The hearing is a separate matter from an indictment alleging that White committed voter fraud when he used an invalid address on his voter registration to cast a ballot. Should White be convicted on any of the seven felony counts against him, he would also be disqualified from holding office.
Coming soon to a courtroom? Wisconsin Supreme Court recount
On Tuesday, Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenberg defeated Justice David Prosser for a seat on the state Supreme Court. The margin of the race is exceedingly narrow – unofficial returns show a margin of just 204 out of more than 1.4 million cast – and so any recount (which must be requested) would be conducted at the state's expense. Citizens for Election Integrity Minnesota has the full rundown on the laws, regulations and policies that will guide a recount in Wisconsin.
A recount will be quite an undertaking for the Badger State, which has more than 1,800 election jurisdictions statewide. The sheer number of localities to recount – combined with the state's fierce partisan warfare which has made headlines in recent months – will likely lead to "ballot-by-ballot warfare in some places" according to Wisconsin election law expert Richard Esenberg.
Already, allegations of voter fraud are being raised, leaving open the distinct possibility of a legal challenge to the results once the recount is completed. That challenge itself would be complicated given the potential conflict of interest involved in a court hearing a challenge to the election of one of its own members, as Ohio State's Ned Foley observes.
