South Dakota State University Wants to Demolish Old Knights Hall
BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota State University wants to demolish a former Knights of Columbus hall on the north edge of the Brookings campus.
The Brookings Register reports (http://bit.ly/QR2a18) that the two-story wood-frame hall on north Medary Avenue was being used as storage space for the university but is now dilapidated.
School officials say the maintenance and utility costs now outweigh the building's usefulness.
If circumstances permit a controlled burn, SDSU plans to work with the Brookings Fire Department to provide a training opportunity by allowing fire officials to burn the facility.
The South Dakota Board of Regents will consider the request on Wednesday.

4,000 presents grow from Silver Key's 'Giving Tree'
Silver Key's Giving Tree gave again this Christmas.
Some 4,000 wrapped Christmas presents went out to needy senior citizens around Colorado Springs, courtesy of generous area residents and Silver Key Senior Services, a privately run agency for the elderly located in the Midland area of the Westside.
"The elderly ask for very simple things," said Mikki Kraushshaar, Silver Key president and chief executive officer. "Many of them are at that level where what's most important is a gesture of remembrance."
Typical items were bath towels, sweaters, gloves and stuffed animals.
The Giving Tree effort, as it has every year since 1979, began a few weeks before Christmas. At 74 locations around town, trees were set up, bearing ornaments made by Girl Scouts. Each ornament was tagged with a Christmas-present wish from a senior.
Public-spirited citizens picked ornaments from the trees, bought the requested gifts, wrapped them and brought them to Silver Key. The agency then matched up the presents with those who asked for them. Delivery to the recipients' homes, also organized by Silver Key, was handled by "volunteer Kris Kringles," as Kraushaar called them.

Elsewhere in the blogosphere, a heated discussion is raging about racism in publishing.
Some African American authors are being marketed solely as African American authors, and they're shelved in the African American section of bookstores, even though their books have absolutely nothing to do with African Americans.
In other words, a black author writes a sci-fi novel, or a romance, or literary fiction, and it's automatically catagorized as African American even if it doesn't contain a single black character.
Is this fair? Is it racist?
I encourage the folks already blogging about this topic to post their views here.
I also encourage the regular readers of this blog to visit http://bestsellingauthor.blogspot.com and weigh in on the conversation.
And finally, I encourage folks to post their views about this topic on their own blogs.
Why should you bother? Especially if you aren't African American?
Don't you remember that old adage?
When the Nazis came for the Gypsies, I did not speak out because I was not a Gypsy.
When the Nazis came for the homosexuals, I did not speak out because I was not a homosexual.
When the Nazis came for the Jews, I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
When the Nazis came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me...

The military's persistent gender divide
With all the focus on the "war on women," the issue of war and women isn't getting its share of attention. On Monday, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced new rules to combat sexual assaults in the military. Over 3,000 alleged assaults are reported annually, but the Pentagon now admits that the actual number of incidents is probably closer to 19,000 due to systemic underreporting. This acknowledgment marks a cultural shift to protect women in the hopes that the military can recruit, retain, and promote them to the highest levels of command.
There is, however, one persistent barrier to all this "equal status" talk: Changing the culture of the military toward women requires more than amending the sexual assault procedures. It means changing the combat exclusion rules. All the good words about inclusiveness and gender protection mask a more fundamental division: Women are underrepresented in the highest ranks not because of pervasive sexual assault, but because they are still formally excluded from the most honored role of all, that of combat soldier.
Giving women the opportunity to serve equally on the battlefield will require the same kind of effort that brought about the changes in the military's handling of sexual-assault claims. The rules announced by Panetta came after tremendous pressure from Congress. In particular, Massachusetts Representative Niki Tsongas, a Democrat, and Ohio Representative Mike Turner, a Republican, led a bipartisan effort as co-chairs of the Caucus on Military Sexual Assault.
They pushed the military to require that higher officers be the ones to make the decisions on whether to pursue sexual-assault claims. Formerly, it was the most junior commander in the accuser's chain of command who determined whether a case would go forward. Those officers tended not only to be inexperienced, but not objective. Often, they were the direct supervisor of both the victim and the accused. In 2011, 68 percent of "actionable" assaults, those that were determined to be substantiated, were still not prosecuted in military courts because of low-level commanders' use of their discretion. Now, such decisions will be made at the colonel or Navy captain level, a major elevation in experience, seniority, and objectivity.
While the new procedures are important, they are also low-hanging fruit. From the looks of it, the Pentagon finally made the rather basic determination that a junior officer, most likely male, should no longer be given the sole discretion to determine whether one of his subordinates, most likely male, was guilty of an assault on another of his subordinates, most likely female. It is a good start, but not exactly brilliant.
We are the most civilized nation in the world that still formally excludes women from combat. "Formally" is the operative word. Women are so close to the battle lines now that 144 female soldiers have been killed while deployed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Over a quarter of a million women have served in those wars. After a recent review, the Pentagon opened up 14,000 new combat-related jobs to females, but still kept a quarter of a million slots out of reach. Gender-neutral physical requirements should be the sole factor in determining qualifications for such jobs. And because combat duty is often the key to advancement, it should be no wonder that while women make up 14 percent of active-duty military, they represent only 7 percent of flagged officers.
Those who have never served might assume that placing women so close to men in combat is actually what is leading to an increase in sexual violence. That's an easy, blame-the-victim, excuse. Perhaps the explanation for the fact that assaults have increased steadily since 2006 is the stress of 10 years of war or the lowering of recruitment standards to fill the ranks without a draft. No other country shows evidence of a direct correlation between combat proximity and sexual assault.
The combat exclusion rules create a ranking system that is based not on skill, experience, or physical aptitude. There are consequences of such an attitude for any institution. We don't know if lifting the combat exclusion rules would lesson the prevalence of sexual assaults. The Pentagon had a chance to test that theory and passed it up. Maybe, one day, they will have combat rules as "inclusive" as their new regulations on sexual assault.

As Harvey Weinstein was closing the distribution deal for "Lovelace" at this year's Sundance Film Festival, he was asked by one of the film's representatives whether he would be doing awards campaigns for three of the film's stars, Amanda Seyfried (who plays Linda Lovelace), Peter Sarsgaard (who plays her husband, Chick Traynor) and Sharon Stone (who plays Linda's mother, Dorothy Boreman).
What? Sharon Stone is in the movie? Weinstein asked, incredulous. I had no idea.
Stone and Seyfried swear the story is true, and Stone takes it as the ultimate acting compliment.
Wearing a matronly wig, some rather unflattering 1970s wardrobes and scant wrinkle-reducing makeup, Stone in "Lovelace" looks nothing like her appearances in "Casino," "Basic Instinct" and "Total Recall."
"It's kind of great," Stone said about someone as well-versed in movies as Weinstein not noticing that she was in the film. "I was so into the role that I was unrecognizable."
Opening Friday, "Lovelace" depicts two versions of the porn star's participation in "Deep Throat," the adult film that made her famous and brought pornography from the peep shows into the mainstream.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
In the first look at her life, the film suggests that Lovelace was a willing participant in the X-rated action. In the film's second half, however, directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman show Lovelace as a battered wife under the violent control of Traynor, who forced her to perform sex acts on camera.
Stone plays a parent whose motherly advice couldn't be worse for her daughter, who is trying to escape her marriage to Traynor. She basically tells her: He's your husband, go be his wife.
Stone defended her characater's actions, arguing that she was in some ways representative of the priorities of the times.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
"There's a value to getting the meal on the table every night, and there's a value to being an old-school kind of parent," Stone said. "But like the audience [for 'Deep Throat'] who didn't know what was really going on, she didn't know what was really going on."
The actress was gratified that Epstein and Friedman ditched the film's original ending, when Lovelace, who remarried and was known as Linda Marchiano, was active in anti-pornography campaigns. Instead, the filmmakers shot a new ending, where Linda and her mother were reconciled.
"I thought it was nice they brought that reconcilaition to the screen," Stone said.
By some measure, Stone's "Basic Instinct" in 1992 made films like the sometimes explicit but R-rated "Lovelace" possible, Stone said.
"When I did it, it was so new -- it was a real barrier-breaker. Those kind of films had not been made," Stone said of the sexually charged thriller, which had a famously provocative shot of Stone. "Now it's not at all unusual for female sexuality to be considered in mainstream films."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (December 19, 2013)— Aotearoa will cut back in distance and return to a synthetic surface in the $200,000 King Glorious Stakes Sunday at Betfair Hollywood Park.
Part of the Golden State Series, the King Glorious is the 10th of 11 races on the final day of the last Autumn meet. Post time is 12:30 p.m. and track gates will open at 9:55 a.m. for simulcasts.
Prior to the start of the races, Hall of Fame trainer Jack Van Berg will sign copies of his book "Jack: From Grit to Glory'' at the Betfair Hollywood Park Gift Shop. The signing is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m.
Commemorative pins honoring the Sunset Handicap will also be given away – one per paid admission while supplies last – on closing day.
Hall of Fame trainer Whittingham and owner Mary Jones Bradley enjoyed much success together over the years, including a 1973 victory by Cougar II in the Sunset.
A Grade I winner on turf and dirt, the Chilean bred's one-length win over Life Cycle more than 40 years ago was the sixth of a record 13 Sunset victories for Hall of Fame jockey Bill Shoemaker.
There will also be drawings for gift cards and other special prizes throughout the day.
In addition to the King Glorious, the card includes a pair of $50,000 starter allowance races – the Valley Lass and Auld Lang Syne.
The Valley Lass, which is for fillies and mares and will be run at one mile on turf, is named in honor of the first horse to win a race at Hollywood Park. A 2-year-old California bred filly, Valley Lass took the opener June 10, 1938 as the 13-10 favorite under jockey Silvio Coucci. It will be the third race Sunday.
The Auld Lang Syne, which will be run at 1 1/16 miles on turf, will serve as Sunday's finale, climaxing 75 years of racing history and memories at the venue known as both the Home of Champions and the Track of the Lakes and Flowers.
Owned by breeder Paul Viskovich and trained by Leonard Powell, Aotearoa will make his first appearance over Cushion Track after finishing second behind Global View in the Grade III Generous Stakes on turf Nov. 30.
The gelded son of Good Journey and the Lil Tyler mare Madera Royal has won twice in five starts and earned $134,000. He broke his maiden by 4 ¾ lengths in his debut over the Polytrack at Del Mar Aug. 4.
Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, who began the final three days of the season with a chance to set an Autumn meet record for most stakes wins by a trainer, will send out a pair – Life Is a Joy and Pray Hard – in the King Glorious.
Life Is a Joy comes off a pair of fifth-place finishes in two-turn races – the Golden Gate Juvenile Nov. 1 at Santa Anita and the Real Quiet Stakes Nov. 23 at BHP – after winning his first three races in Northern California, including the Charlie Palmer Futurity Oct. 5 at Fresno.
Owned by Hollendorfer, his wife Janet and George Todaro, the Globalize gelding out of the Indian Charlie mare Tadita has banked $93,330.
Owned by breeders Debi and Tom Stull's Tommy Town Thoroughbreds, Pray Hard comes off a 5 ¼ length maiden win Nov. 30. The Kafwain gelding and the Songandaprayer mare Unbridled Prayer has earned $62,100 in five starts. He's been worse than second once.
Mass Transit defeated 11 maidens – including runner-up Pray Hard – in his Cushion Track debut Nov. 9 for trainer Peter Miller and a partnership that includes Blinkers On Racing Stable, Roncelli Family Trust and Dent Roney.
The son of City Zip and the General Meeting mare Young Ladies Day has earnd $27,250 in two starts.
Better Bet is also back to sprinting after trailing in the Real Quiet for trainer Mike Harrington, who also owns and bred the Southern Image colt. Out of the Swiss Yodeler mare Short Sentence, Better Bet has won twice in 10 races and has earnings of $190,380.
Harrington will also send out Alpine Luck for owner-breeder Heinz Steinmann. The Lucky J.H. colt out of the Swiss Yodeler mare I Can Yodele has won two of eight and banked $162,284. Both of his victories have come in four starts over Cushion Track.
California Chrome returns to the scene of his first victory (May 17) for owner-breeders Steve Coburn and Martin Perry and trainer Art Sherman after finishing sixth in the Golden State Juvenile.
The son of Lucky Pulpit and the Not for Love mare Love the Chase has won two of six and earned $104,850.
Smoove It is the lone filly in the lineup. Owned and bred by J. Paul Reddam's Reddam Racing LLC, the daughter of Square Eddie and the Distorted Humor mare Smoove has one win in five starts and a bankroll of $58,510 for trainer Doug O'Neill.
Ghost of Harrenhal has been idle since winning a $50,000 maiden claimer at one mile Oct. 24 at Santa Anita.
Trained by Derek Meredith for a partnership that includes his wife Helen, Mark Mandala, Mike Peterson and Joseph Schneider, the Singletary colt out of the Free House mare Special Smoke has earned $19,620 in two races.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — There are reportedly eight different teams expressing interest in the services of Cleveland Cavaliers' cast off big man Andrew Bynum, eight teams that believe Bynum is a valuable enough piece that they are willing to ignore his track record of not playing up to his immense potential when healthy.
Like everything else where Bynum is concerned, there are passionate opinions on both sides of the argument and we made sure to touch on those on Episode 143 of the Hang Time Podcast now that the Luol Deng-Bynum trade has been finalized. Bynum's gone, much to the delight of our guest, Friday Night Lights and Devil's Due star Zach Gilford, whose Bulls roots run deep (from growing up watching Michael Jordan dazzle the world and win titles all the way down to the Scottie Pippen his buddy tattooed on him at 13).
Hall of Famer Reggie Miller and the NBA's former Dean of Discipline, Stu Jackson, also make their 2014 debut on "Are You Kidding Me?" Miller and Jackson
You get all that and more on Episode 143 of the Hang Time Podcast featuring Zach Gilford.
As always, we welcome your feedback. You can follow the entire crew, including the Hang Time Podcast, co-hosts Sekou Smith of NBA.com, Lang Whitaker of NBA.com's All-Ball Blog and renaissance man Rick Fox of NBA TV, as well as our new super producer Gregg (just like Popovich) Waigand and the best engineer in the business, Jarell "I Heart Peyton Manning" Wall.

Berry emphasized that appointments of Schedule C employees -- who are subject to change at the discretion of the new administration -- and noncareer Senior Executive Service members to competitive or nonpolitical-excepted service positions or to career SES positions should comply with all merit principles regarding fair and open competition.
Mostly, these are not new guidelines for federal agencies. "It has been OPM policy since the Carter administration and under every president since to ensure that politics play no role when agencies select current or former political appointees for career federal jobs," Berry said in the memo.
OPM has enacted new policy since the last presidential election, however. As of January 2010, the agency conducts all its prehiring reviews on a continual basis, rather than limiting the reviews to the year leading up to a presidential election. Also, OPM now reviews the proposed hiring of current or former political appointees for jobs in the excepted service as well as the competitive service, according to the memo.

"My character (this is in a post-apocalyptic setting) needs to be able to prevent pregnancy without *ahem* abstaining. There was/is a ferula plant (Silphium) that was said to be used in ancient times as a contraceptive. Apparently plants in this group have high levels of estrogen-like properties in them.
I've always found the need to control fertility a fascinating historical (and contemporary) subject. I even did a research paper on historical methods of birth control in med school. (Stones as IUDs? Crocodile dung as a spermicide? That's just a tiny bit of what I'd found.)
Herbal medicine has long been used as a means of controlling fertility. In a futuristic scenario, it would be conceivable (*ha ha*) that women might have to turn back to nature for contraceptive means.
Silphium is actually a now-extinct plant that was used in ancient Egypt and Greece, amongst other places. In fact, the heart-shaped seed may be the origin of why the heart shape is associated with romance.
photo credit
Silphium probably belonged in the genus Ferula, many of which are called "giant fennel." Although in the same family as true fennel, Ferula isn't truly a fennel plant.
These plants grow in the arid climates of western Asia and the Mediterranean region. In ancient Greek texts, there is plentiful discussion of using the Silphium juice once monthly to both prevent conception and as an abortifacient as well. Silphium's popularity in the ancient world may have led to its extinction.
So which Ferula plant might be used in Luanne's story? Possibly a species called Ferula Asafoetida.
Medicinally, Asafoetida is a natural antiviral (it was studied as a treatment for H1N1 flu), aids digestion and reduces flatulence (maybe it should be marketed as Anti-Fetid?), as an asthma treatment, and an anti-seizure medicine.
Asafoetida is also a commonly known contraceptive and abortifaciant. However, I had some trouble finding out how it would be used as such. Silphium was taken once monthly. The juice of the plant (maybe half a teaspoonful) was enough to do the job. When thinking of how herbs are used medicinally, consider these methods:
- Extract (herb soaked in alcohol, strong concentration of herb)
- Tincture (herb soaked in alcohol, weaker concentration of herb)
- Infusion (herb soaked in hot water)
- Decoction (herb boiled in water)
- Ingested directly. (In Luanne's case, the gum from the root of the plant was cooked and eaten with food. This is the most likely method used, but again, I'm just guessing.)
- Applied topically (like in a poultice)
- Boiled and steam inhaled
- Burned and smoke inhaled
One last thing. Ferula Asafoetida grows mainly in India, Afghanistan, and Iran. For contraceptive herbs native to North America, also consider:
- Black Cohosh
- Wild Carrot (related to Ferula)
- Queen Anne's lace (also related to Ferula)
- Smartweed (Polygonum Hydropiper)
Here are some references I used to research this question. Good luck, Luanne!
- Contraceptive Herbal Birth Control
- Abortion and Contraception in the Ancient World
- Contraception from the Ancient World to the Renaissance
- The Birth Control of Yesteryear
- The Ancient World's "Birth Control Pill"
- Asafoetida

It was a busy day for candidates in the mayor's race, with both Wendy Greuel and Eric Garcetti picking up major endorsements with less than eight weeks before the runoff.
Entrepreneur and former Lakers star Earvin "Magic" Johnson endorsed the Greuel campaign. Johnson has a track record of backing winning mayoral candidates, with Jim Hahn in 2001 and Antonio Villaraigosa in 2005.
"We know that she's a problem-solver," Johnson said outside the West Angeles Church of God. "We already know that she has the skill and the talent and the expertise to get the job done."
Other African-American leaders who have endorsed Greuel, including County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, the Rev. Cecil "Chip" Murray and LAPD Commissioner John Mack. The Los Angeles Sentinel newspaper, a longtime presence in the African-American community, also endorsed Greuel's campaign.
RELATED: KPCC's LA mayoral race endorsement tracker
Earlier in the day, standing outside the 28th Street YMCA, former mayoral candidate Jan Perry endorsed Eric Garcetti. While Perry finished fourth in the March 5 primary, she received 55 percent of the African-American vote, according to an exit poll from Loyola Marymount University.
"We are a very complex city with complex problems that must be attended to every day," Perry said. "We don't have any time to waste."
"I'm going to make sure that Eric meets with people who have supported me and that he takes a comprehensive look at South Los Angeles so that people here get to know him on the macro level and the micro level and understand what he is about."
Perry served on the Los Angeles City Council with both Garcetti and Greuel. Asked to expand on her decision, Perry referred to negative mailers sent by Greuel's campaign during the primary that drew attention to Perry's ex-husband's financial problems. Perry also raised concerns about the millions of dollars city unions are spending in support of Greuel:
"Maya Angelou has a very interesting quote: Thank you for letting me know who you are."
The councilwoman said she viewed the mailers as Greuel basically saying, "I do not respect you and I respect you so little that I would delve into your personal background and then mischaracterize it, to boot."
After the primary, Greuel left Perry a voicemail, seeking her support. Perry did not return the call.
Asked about her campaign's attack on Perry, Greuel told reporters: "If you just look at all of the mailers that were hit pieces on me – look, this is politics."
Endorsements often work the same way as job recommendations, according to Raphael Sonenshein, executive director of the Pat Brown Institute of Public Affairs. At this point in the race, support from well-known names can help, since neither candidate has "broken through" to the electorate, he said.
"As the race gets closer to Election Day, each of them could put forward a lot of people writing letters of recommendation for them to get the job, but they have got to close the deal," Sonenshein said.
Kevin James placed third in the primary. Both campaigns have reached out for his endorsement, and he told KPCC Thursday he's getting closer to making a decision.
The runoff election is May 21.
How do these endorsements affect your decision? Do they matter to you? Let us know in the comments.

The celebration of major historic milestones is a favorite pastime in pretty much every culture. This year, 2011, in the United States many are commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the American Civil War. That means four years from now numerous festivities will take place to observe the same anniversary for Jubilee Day, or the liberation of America's slaves.
In addition, countries around the world are currently honoring the first United Nations-declared International Year for People of African Descent.
Flip the calendar forward by almost a decade and we find ourselves approaching another major milestone: the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Harlem Renaissance. The past couple of years have already seen celebrations of the centennials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the National Urban League. Both organizations during the Harlem Renaissance played key roles–– as advocates for racial equality and as publishers of influential magazines that featured prize-winning works by now major authors like Dorothy West, Jean Toomer, and Zora Neale Hurston.
Exactly When did the Harlem Renaissance Start?
Marking the centennial of the NAACP and the National Urban League was relatively easy because records indicate clearly enough when they started. The actual beginning and ending of the Harlem Renaissance itself is not so well defined, though most scholars will say it lasted from 1920 to 1940.
One of the great leaders of the Harlem Renaissance, James Weldon Johnson, noted in his book Black Manhattan, that the 1922 publication of Claude McKay's book, Harlem Shadows, represented a major history-altering event. In Johnson's words, "Claude McKay's poetry was one of the great forces in bringing about what is often called the 'Negro literary renaissance.'"
But celebrated author Langston Hughes thought the history-making Broadway musical Shuffle Along kicked the Renaissance into high gear in 1921. As he put it, Shuffle Along "gave a scintillating send-off to that Negro vogue in Manhattan, which reached its peak just before the crash of 1929…" Still others will say it started with the end of World War I in 1918, or with the Great Migration of African Americans into industrial areas of the U.S. North and Midwest during the 1910s.
Enter "The New Black"
NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar co-wrote On the Shoulders of Giants, the recent acclaimed documentary on the Harlem Rens basketball team. From his highly-regarded perspective, the Harlem Renaissance never truly ended at all but simply changed names, at one point becoming the Civil Rights Movement, and at another the Black Arts Movement.
In these ultra-techno days of 2011, some authors such as Diann Blakely ––taking her cue from the title of Evie Shockley's newest poetry collection–– have adopted the term The New Black to describe the current wave of African-American author-poets who have won substantial recognition for their literary labors. A number of authors listed in this group are in fact well-established literary veterans. Blakely, a White southerner who has sought to honor the positive influence of Blacks in her life, described the cultural significance of the years 2010 and 2011 as follows:
"…A perfect microcosm of a great third flowering of African-American poetry in less than a century because of the great number of distinguished titles published, plus the awards and honors conferred upon African-American poets."
Blakely's list of "New Black" poets was recently published on the Best American Poetry Series website. One should note that her assessment is a well-honed one informed by her own status as an award-winning author of three volumes of poetry, as a former editor for Antioch Review, and a nominating editor for the highly-acclaimed Pushcart Prize Series.

Story highlights
- iPod owners have been enlisted in a class-action lawsuit against Apple
- The music service Harmony allowed users to play songs downloaded from the RealPlayer music store on Apple's iPod
- Apple created a firmware update that blocked other music services from uploading songs to the iPod
If you're one of the millions who purchased an iPod between Sept. 12, 2006, and March 31, 2009, you might be in for a surprising email. It states that you're being enlisted in a class-action lawsuit against Apple — though you do have the right to recuse yourself.
The class-action lawsuit was originally filed by a customer in January 2005 and was ignited by the creation of the music service Harmony. Back in 2004, the company RealNetworks created Harmony as a digital rights management (DRM) translation service. It allowed users to play songs downloaded from the RealPlayer music store on Apple's iPod.
But as any iPod user knows, songs must be loaded onto iTunes to be played on Apple's devices. That's because Apple created an iPod firmware update not too long after the announcement of Harmony, which blocked it and other music services from uploading songs to the iPod.
The customer filed an antitrust lawsuit against Apple, accusing the company of unfairly blocking competition. Now, years later, it's gaining steam.
Though RealNetworks has nothing to do with this case, the . District Court for the Northern District of California gave the lawsuit class-action status in November 2011. The website ipodlawsuit.com, which details the entire case, explains:
"The lawsuit claims that Apple violated federal and state laws by issuing software updates in 2006 for its iPod that prevented iPods from playing songs not purchases on iTunes. The lawsuit claims that the software updates caused iPod prices to be higher than they otherwise would have been."
The "class-action status" of the case means that if you own any of these devices — first through fourth generation Nanos, second and third generation Touches, first through third generation Shuffles, a fifth generation classic iPod or the special edition U2 iPod — you're automatically included in the lawsuit. (Official notices began going out this week.) But you give up any right to sue Apple individually over the same concerns.
Alternatively, you could also request exclusion from the case. However, if Apple does end up losing, you don't get to share in any kind of "recovery" that may be rewarded.
So far, there's no money involved — no actual settlement or reward has been determined.
If you're one of these iPod owners, will you opt to be excluded from the case, or will you take part in a class-action lawsuit against Apple? Sound off in the comments.

General Human Development Report of Georgia
The Report stresses the issues of civil society and human rights. In 1998 we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, one of the most important international documents in history. The intention of the country to build a democratic society, one that gives the highest priority to the rights and dignity of every individual human being, is genuine and sincere, and the will is strong. At the same time we are well aware of numerous problems and human rights violations in Georgia - it is a difficult task to establish the rule of law and change the mentality of the bureaucracy, law enforcers, and the population at large

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) The Colorado Buffaloes are counting on the past repeating itself so they can avoid ending up on the wrong side of history.
To avoid the worst record since the program's inception in 1890, the Buffs will have to upset Utah, which was installed as a three-touchdown favorite Friday at Folsom Field.
The Utes were also a 21-point favorite a year ago when the Buffaloes ended their division title hopes with a 17-14 win at Salt Lake City to end a school-record 23-game road losing streak.
``We had nothing to lose,'' senior defensive end Will Pericak said.
And this time, they have infamy to avoid.
If the Utes (4-7, 2-6 Pac-12) win, the Buffaloes (1-10, 1-7) will go winless at home for the first time since 1920.
``We can't be the only team to lose every game at home. I don't think anybody wants that so we're all pretty motivated,'' senior tight end Nick Kasa said. ``We know that they're still motivated from last year, probably pretty angry about that. This is our rivalry game; we just have to win it.''
The Buffaloes have been outscored by an average of 46-16, and they've lost seven straight since their lone win, 35-34 at Washington State. During that streak, they've allowed an average of more than 50 points.
Last week, they hit a new low when a miscommunication from the sideline led to the Buffs running a quarterback sneak on first down that gained about a foot.
All this losing has gotten to the Buffs, who started the season with hopes of a bowl bid before losses to archrival Colorado State and lower-tier Sacramento State were followed by a 55-point defeat at Fresno State.
``Yeah, it's really embarrassing,'' junior defensive back Terrell Smith said. ``It stinks to be categorized as the worst team, but there is nothing that we can do.''
Except win.
``It would be tough'' to go down as the first 11-loss team in school history, Pericak said.
``That would not be something we want,'' he said. ``It's horrible to think about. I know for a fact that we're getting better, so I don't want to think about that really.''
If they're getting better, it sure isn't showing up on game day.
The Utes, coming off a 34-24 loss to Arizona at home last week, are also wrapping up a disappointing season.
``We wanted to have the seniors go out of their home stadium on a positive note. We didn't get that done. We got one more opportunity to send them out on a positive note,'' Utes coach Kyle Whittingham said.
The Buffaloes, though, are motivated by avoiding infamy.
``What I've been telling the guys is I don't even want you to play for me or just play for the seniors,'' said Kasa, one of just eight seniors on the Buffaloes roster. ``Play for yourselves. Because we can't be that team that never won at home. That's just embarrassing to me and to this team. And I think everybody knows that. We're going to go out and get this win.''
The Utes have also had a tough transition to the Pac-12 after leaving the Mountain West Conference last year, though not as difficult a road as Colorado has had since bolting the Big 12, igniting the wave of conference realignment.
``The league is much better this year than it was last year, across the board,'' Whittingham said. ``I can't speak for Colorado, but for us the league is elevated. There's no doubt about that. We're still working hard to get to the level we need to be at.''
The Utes will gain a measure of satisfaction, though, if they can win at Boulder, where the Buffaloes have lost conference games by 28, 34, 48 and 35 points.
``Colorado in the past has been a big program just like us,'' Utah wide receiver Kenneth Scott said. ``They feel like they should be one of the top programs just like we feel that. But going into this game we have a chip on our shoulder knowing we should be winning, but we are making those little mistakes. ... Especially coming off last year, the way they beat us, that revenge is going to be really nice.''

Leave Me In London
For Round 10 of our Three-Minute Fiction contest, we asked you to send a story in the form of a voice mail message. Our winner was "Sorry for Your Loss."
You're sleeping, I know. That's why I'm calling. I'm staring at the old Spitalfields church and someone is playing a bagpipe on a roof across the street. I never even wanted to enter a church before we came here. Now I'm crying in every cathedral. It's London, this city. I didn't think I could love a place like I love New York. A month in a different country can change everything.
Three a.m. and the city is still so alive. God, you should be awake to hear this. We could go on a night walk and listen on different side streets. Remember when we waltzed in the alley? I finally found the nerve to put my head on your shoulder and then you pulled away. But for a moment there, I swear, you wanted to.
This is our last year together. I'm applying for schools in New York, and you'll be trying to write ... where? Colorado? Destination unknown. Sure, we'll pretend distance doesn't make a difference. You'll send me your desert poems. About lizards and feeling like cacti. I'll write stories about animosity with nostalgia for you. You'll notice but won't want to say. You'll get married and I'll
forget a friend. Three years and it'll all be gone soon.
We were meant to be best friends. That first day of class, we were the only ones who raised our hands when the professor asked who J.D. Salinger was. I never told you, but I saw you before that. I was sitting in the grass writing in my journal, looking for anyone doing the same thing as me. There were people talking in groups. Sleeping. Frisbee. I remember I felt so alone on campus, like I wasn't in the right place. And then you walked by. With your over-sized statement headphones, and you sat down under a tree. Started reading. Which book was it? I wondered how it made you feel. I wrote about you. I described a skinny boy with dark hair and worry lines across his forehead. The perfect representation. It was such a relief to see you. I didn't even know you but suddenly I wasn't alone anymore.
I am in the right place now. And if we fly home tomorrow, I'm not sure I'll ever feel like this again.
Going back to America means going back to how things were. You've never kissed me or held my hand while walking down the street or fallen asleep in my bed. You call us the Queen and the Court Jester. Except that's not how we are. We are two sides of a record. Worthy adversaries. You're my equivalent. We've been cowards, feigning friendship when we know it's not enough.
I love you like I love churches, like I love London. I never knew I could until I came here. I've kept it closed off but I can't let you go home without saying, let me love you and I'll never love anyone else again.
Don't get on the plane tomorrow. I know it's the biggest risk you'll ever take but I'm doing the same thing by leaving this message. I won't be afraid anymore, even if it means losing you completely. Hasn't the chaos of this city made you feel anything at all? Don't go back to safety. Stay the rest of the summer. If you've loved me for three years, meet me in the hotel lobby at the time our flight is supposed to leave. If you don't, then leave me in London.

MJ Connery circa 1888
My maternal grandfather, Michael Joseph Connery was born 15 June 1861( or 1862 or 1864 in various records) in Moorestown, Kilfinnane, Co Limerick, Ireland. He was the sixth of eleven children born to Patrick Connery and Mary Leahy. I believe that they were tenant farmers although there is no sure evidence of that. Michael completed the fourth year of high school before immigrating to the United States. [i] Legend tells us that he was sent to town to sell a pig but instead he threw his clothes out the window and ran away with the money. He boarded a ship and sailed to America arriving at Castle Garden in 1880.[ii] Traveling to Chicago, Illinois, he began his new life. He became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1886 and voted on 16 Oct 1888. [iii]
During his lifetime, MJ, as he was usually called, had several careers from grocer, to saloonkeeper, and owner of several bowling alleys.[iv] He ultimately settled on a career as a Realtor opening his own business about 1912 on the south side of Chicago moving to the west side of the city by 1916.[v] MJ returned to Ireland frequently to visit family which is when he caught the eye of Alice Fleming who was destined to become his wife.
Family stories relate that MJ led the St Patrick's Day parade down State Street on a white horse and while I did find his name listed in the parade roster, there is no mention of a white horse. As a realtor MJ made wise investments and during the depression he sold many of his properties to clear the mortgages on others. My mother also told me that he walked to work every day with only a nickel in his pocket for a phone call. He also went home for lunch daily to save money but all of his children were very well educated. He was a devoted catholic and generous donor to his church. On the death of his son Leo, he donated a stained glass window to St Mel Church.
His children called him Papa Dear which was later refined to Popsy by his grandchildren. MJ had a large family of which two daughters became religious sisters. I remember him as a tall man with silver white hair who used a walking stick shaped like a tree branch with a silver handle.
MJ died 16 Mar 1953. I was only 10 at the time but I still remember him vividly.

Google has released code that gives developers the ability to have links open directly in Google Chrome instead of Apple's built-in Safari browser, and return users right back to their app with a single tap. A developer has to add Google's code -- a URL scheme with x-callback -- to their app, and you have to have Chrome installed on your device, but the execution is seamless. The example used on the Chromium blog blog is YouTube: tapping on a link in a YouTube listing opens Chrome and provides a back button at the top left to easily return to the YouTube app.
It's not the same as Apple providing the ability to set default apps in iOS on a system-wide level, but it's the same method Google has been using inside their own apps, including the recent Gmail update. Ironically, it also gives them a leg up on Safari, which doesn't currently provide a method for returning to any app that might have launched it. With Safari, you have to use the fast app switcher, or return to the Home screen and relaunch the original app, which now seems janky by comparison.
It'll be interesting to see how many developers apply this new code to their apps, and how far Google is able to take over the experience on iOS before Apple has something to say about it.
In the meantime, which apps would you most like to see add Chrome integration?

Road Kill Harvesting Can Begin This November, FWP Seeking Feedback on New Rule
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) is looking for advice on how they should enact a new law pertaining to road kill.
"What we're looking at right now is comment on a proposed FWP rule that was born out of a new law that allows the salvaging of antelope, deer, elk and moose that are killed in collisions with vehicles," said Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokeswoman Vivica Crowser.
The rule can be read below, and comments can be sent to FWP either in person, through the mail, or via the FWP website.
The earliest date for legal road kill retrieval will be November 14th. There are more specifics to the law, including a 24 hour time limit for presenting a salvaged carcass to officials.
The actual wording of the rule is as follows:
NEW RULE I SALVAGE PERMITS (1) A deer, elk, moose, or antelope accidentally killed as a result of a vehicle collision may be salvaged and possessed if a permit is obtained from a peace officer.
(2) Any carcass taken for salvage must:
(a) be presented to a peace officer or department regional office during regular business hours within 24 hours of taking possession of the animal; and
(b) be disposed of in accordance with 75-10-213, MCA, and any meat rendered must be utilized for human consumption and may not be used for bait or any other purpose.
(3) The salvage permit will be issued on a form provided by the department.
(4) Big game tags and licenses issued for the purpose of hunting shall not be used for purposes of salvaging animals.
Reasonable Necessity: In 2013, HB 247 provided for individuals to be able to salvage deer, antelope, moose, and elk that were killed in vehicular collisions and provided authority for the commission to create rules to implement this action.
4. Concerned persons may submit their data, views, or arguments concerning the proposed action in writing to: Proposed Wildlife Salvage Rule, Law Enforcement Division, Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, PO Box 200701,
14-7/25/13 MAR Notice No. 12-392
Helena, Montana, 59620-0701; fax (406) 444-7894; or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, and must be received no later than August 23, 2013.
5. If persons who are directly affected by the proposed actions wish to express their data, views, or arguments orally or in writing at a public hearing, they must make written request for a hearing and submit this request along with any written comments to the Law Enforcement Division at the above address no later than August 23, 2013.
6. If the agency receives requests for a public hearing on the proposed action from either 10 percent or 25, whichever is less, of the persons directly affected by the proposed action; from the appropriate administrative rule review committee of the Legislature; from a governmental subdivision or agency; or from an association having not less than 25 members who will be directly affected, a hearing will be held at a later date. Notice of the hearing will be published in the Montana Administrative Register. Ten percent of those directly affected has been determined to be more than 25 based on the number of drivers on Montana roads.
7. The department maintains a list of interested persons who wish to receive notice of rulemaking actions proposed by the department or commission. Persons who wish to have their name added to the list shall make written request that includes the name and mailing address of the person to receive the notice and specifies the subject or subjects about which the person wishes to receive notice. Such written request may be mailed or delivered to Fish, Wildlife and Parks, Legal Unit, PO Box 200701, 1420 East Sixth Avenue, Helena, MT 59620-0701, faxed to the office at (406) 444-7456, or may be made by completing the request form at any rules hearing held by the department.
8. The bill sponsor contact requirements of 2-4-302, MCA, apply and have been fulfilled. The primary bill sponsor was contacted by e-mail on July 15, 2013.
9. With regard to the requirements of Chapter 318, Section 1, Laws of 2013, the commission has determined that the adoption of the above-referenced rule will not significantly and directly impact small businesses.

Nearly seven scoreless minutes in the first half proves costly
DeLAND, Fla. (Feb. 9, 2013) – The Lady Bucs clawed back but a 25-5 run by the Stetson Hatters to end the first half, which included an eight minute streak without a made field goal, proved to be too much for ETSU to overcome as it dropped a 74-65 decision to SU on Saturday afternoon inside the Edmunds Center.
With the loss, ETSU drops to 6-13 overall and 4-8 in Atlantic Sun play, while Stetson improves to 17-6 overall and 10-2 in league action.
"In the first half, we did not come out and play well, especially to end the half, ETSU head coach Karen Kemp said. "I thought we came out in the second half and Tiana [Burley] (Camilla, Ga.) played strong and we need her to play strong every game. If we can play with that same kind of intensity, we can climb our way to the top half of the conference."
Through the first 10 minutes of the half, the Lady Bucs fared well, answering the Hatters by attacking the basket and draining a few from long range. A Brianna McQueen (Jonesboro, Ga.) free throw with a little over ten minutes remaining in the period tied the contest at 19 all. Stetson fired back with a 20-0 run from 10 minutes to three minutes left in the stanza and ended the half on a 25-5 run to push the SU advantage to 44-24 at the break. During this run, the Blue and Gold were held without a made field goal for eight minutes and paid for their 10 first half turnovers with 12 Hatters' points off these miscues. ETSU's inability to get back on defense also proved costly as Stetson raced to 13 fast break points.
The Lady Bucs started the second half strong, going on a 7-0 run in the first two minutes of the period and a 9-3 streak before the first media timeout of the period at the 15:26 mark. ETSU used another run from the 11:27 to 7:29 marks to reduce its deficit to 10, 59-49. In the meat of the second half, 10 points was the closest ETSU would get after SU continued to answer any showings by the Lady Bucs to continue to close the gap. Late baskets by the Blue and Gold proved to be too little, too late as Stetson held on to defeat ETSU, 74-65.
Stetson got a game-high 20 points from forward Sasha Sims and featured three additional double-figure scorers in guards Shanasa Sanders and Victoria McGowan, as well as forward Cherisse Burris, with each totaling 17, 14 and 15 points, respectively. Meanwhile, ETSU received another strong performance from forward Tiana Burley (Camilla, Ga.) who notched her third double-double in the past four games with game-highs of 20 points and 12 rebounds. The Lady Bucs had only one extra double-digit scorer with 10 points from Cara Bowling (Elizabethton, Tenn.)
The Hatters shot 40 percent from the field, but only 17 percent from three-point range. SU supplemented for their struggle from three by getting to the free throw line 26 times and converting on 21 of these attempts. Stetson dominated ETSU with 22 points off of the Lady Bucs' 17 turnovers and also saw its bench outscore the Blue and Gold's reserves, 18-10. The Hatters also edged the Lady Bucs in points in the paint, 36-32.
Meanwhile, ETSU shot just under 40 percent at 38 percent and also heaved an improved 39 percent from behind the arc. The Lady Bucs only got to the charity stripe 11 times and made eight of these tries. The Blue and Gold continued its dominance on the boards against its opponents, outrebounding the Hatters, 44-38. Off of 18 offensive rebounds, ETSU secured 20 second chance points.[
The Lady Bucs conclude the Sunshine State road trip when they travel to Fort Myers, Fla. to take on the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles on Monday, Feb. 11, at 7:05 p.m. ET inside Alico Arena.

Drugs & Medications - Amen oral
Amen oral
Common Brand Name(s): Provera
Amen oral Warnings
Medroxyprogesterone is sometimes used with another medication (a type of estrogen) as combination hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in women after menopause. Combination HRT can rarely cause very serious side effects such as heart disease (e.g., heart attacks), stroke, serious blood clots (e.g., in the lungs and legs), dementia, and breast cancer. Some of these risks appear to depend on the length of treatment and other factors. Therefore, combination HRT should be used for the shortest possible length of time at the lowest effective dose so you can obtain the benefits and minimize the chance of serious side effects from long-term treatment. Combination HRT should not be used to prevent heart disease or dementia. Discuss the risks and benefits of treatment and your personal health history with your doctor. If you take combination HRT, check with your doctor regularly (e.g., every 3-6 months) to see if you still need to take it.
If you use this medication for an extended period, you should have a complete physical exam at regular intervals (e.g., once a year) or as directed by your doctor. See Notes section.
Amen oral Uses
Medroxyprogesterone is a type of female hormone (progestin). This medication is similar to the progesterone that your body naturally makes and is given to replace the hormone when your body is not making enough of it. This medication has several uses. In women who are not pregnant and not going through menopause, this medication is used to treat abnormal bleeding from the uterus and to restore normal menstrual periods in women who have stopped having them for several months (amenorrhea).
Medroxyprogesterone is also used as part of combination hormone replacement therapy with estrogens to reduce menopause symptoms (e.g., hot flashes). Medroxyprogesterone is added to estrogen replacement therapy to reduce the risk of cancer of the uterus.
This medication must not be used to test for pregnancy.How to use Amen oral
Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using this drug and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor. Follow the dosing schedule carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy.
For use in combination hormone replacement therapy with estrogens, take this medication usually once daily for the prescribed number of days each month as directed.
For the treatment of stopped menstrual periods (amenorrhea) and abnormal bleeding from the uterus, take this drug usually once daily for 5-10 days during the second half of the planned menstrual cycle or as directed by your doctor. Withdrawal bleeding usually occurs within 3-7 days after you stop taking the medication.
Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
Amen oral Side Effects
Nausea, bloating, breast tenderness, headache, change in vaginal discharge, mood swings, blurred vision, dizziness, drowsiness, or weight gain/loss may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if any of these serious side effects occur: unusual vaginal bleeding (e.g., spotting, breakthrough bleeding), mental/mood changes (e.g., depression, memory loss), swelling of the hands/feet, frequent/burning/painful urination, breast lumps, dark patches on the skin or face (melasma), yellowing eyes/skin, unusual tiredness.
This medication may rarely cause very serious (possibly fatal) problems from blood clots (e.g., heart attack, stroke, blood clots in the lungs or legs, blindness). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of the following: chest/jaw/left arm pain, weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, sudden vision changes (e.g., blurred/double vision, loss of vision, bulging eyes), confusion, sudden severe headache, severe dizziness, fainting, trouble breathing, coughing up blood, pain/redness/swelling/weakness of the arms/legs, calf pain/swelling that is warm to the touch.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Some people who are allergic to peanuts may also be allergic to soy. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
This medication should not be used if you have certain medical conditions. Before using this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have: history of blood clots, history of bleeding in the brain, liver disease, cancer of the breast or other female organs, vaginal bleeding of unknown cause, a loss of pregnancy with some tissue remaining in the uterus ("missed abortion"), recent stroke or heart attack (within 1 year).

This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Limit alcoholic beverages.
Notify your doctor beforehand if you will be having surgery or will be confined to a chair/bed for a long time (e.g., a long plane flight). You may need to stop the medication for a time or take special precautions because of the increased risk for blood clots. Ask your doctor for more details.
Do not smoke. Smoking combined with this medication further increases your risk for strokes, blood clots, high blood pressure, and heart attacks.
This medication may cause blotchy, dark areas on your skin (melasma). Sunlight may worsen this effect. Avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning booths, and sunlamps. Use a sunscreen, and wear protective clothing when outdoors.
This medication must not be used during pregnancy because it may harm an unborn baby, especially during the first 4 months of pregnancy. If you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant, inform your doctor right away.
This drug passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Amen oral Interactions
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
Some products that may interact with this drug include: aminoglutethimide, drugs affecting liver enzymes that remove medroxyprogesterone from your body (such as rifampin, St. John's wort, azole antifungals including itraconazole, certain anti-seizure medicines including carbamazepine/phenobarbital/phenytoin).
This medication can affect the results of certain lab tests. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your doctors know you use this medication.
Amen oral Overdose
If someone has overdosed and has serious symptoms such as passing out or trouble breathing, call 911. Otherwise, call a poison control center right away. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center. Symptoms of overdose may include severe nausea and vomiting.NOTES:
Do not share this medication with others.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory.

Follow your doctor's instructions on how to examine your own breasts and report any lumps right away. You should also be regularly screened for cervical cancer (e.g., Pap test) and have periodic mammograms as determined by your doctor. Consult your doctor for more details.MISSED DOSE:
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.STORAGE:
