Jace Amaro (Texas Tech), Eddie Lackey (Baylor) and Josh Stewart (Oklahoma State) were named Big 12 Football Players of the Week by a panel of media that cover the Conference. Amaro (offense) was recognized for the first time while Lackey (defense) picked up this third award. Stewart (special teams) was honored for the second time this season and third in his career.
Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week
Jace Amaro, Texas Tech, TE, Jr, San Antonio, Texas
Junior tight end Jace Amaro played a key role in leading Texas Tech to a 37-27 win on the road at West Virginia. He hauled in nine catches for 136 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-clinching score with 1:01 remaining in the game.
Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week
Eddie Lackey, Baylor, LB, Sr, Murrieta, Calif.
Eddie Lackey led Baylor with eight tackles, including five solo stops in a 71-7 win over Iowa State. He added a sack and 1.5 TFL for 12 yards, along with one fumble recovery. The fumble recovery came on ISU's second drive of the game and setup Baylor's second scoring drive from ISU's 29-yard line. Lackey helped the BU defense hold Iowa State to 174 yards of total offense, its best outing against a conference opponent since 1990.
Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week
Josh Stewart, Oklahoma State, PR/WR, Jr, Denton, Texas
Josh Stewart recorded the longest punt return in Big 12 and Oklahoma State history with a 95-yarder in the Cowboys' 24-10 win over TCU. It is also the longest punt return for any player in the country this season. He added a 29-yard return later in the contest. The score was Stewart's second punt-return touchdown in 2013 (he had a 69-yarder against Lamar), tying him with Barry Sanders (1987), Darrent Williams (2003) and Dez Bryant (2008) atop the OSU list for most punt return touchdowns in a season.

#1) escucha : I too had trouble with file manager after changes to desktop theme. I now have to go through the home folder to get anywhere.
As for the 64 bit version; woof-CE is not giving me an iso in the output. I built this with the woof-CE from Github. Your Welcome.
#2) davids45 : Thank You. I am new here. The purpose of this build was to update the OS. As I said I used woof-CE from github.
#3) ally : Thanks for the mirror.
#4) Reneetje and watchdog :
As stated I used woof-CE from Github to build the thing.
So I think it is as safe as the others it being built the same way.
My Word of Truth: I did not add anything to damage or compromise anyone.
I did the thing: I consider it a personal accomplishment considering that the instructions in woof-CE are flawed.
I only wanted to share my success.
An I did mention "test" in the original post.
Again thank you all for your time.
Thank you for your creation.

I like the way Slacko does it. 32-bit nopae, 64-bit pae. This will encourage people who want/have lots of RAM to use 64-bit.
It looks like woof-CE has recently switched everything to PAE though:

It's good to see a new version of xenial pup.. well, the concerns raised by some people are fair.. but then again phil is very much like him. We all work pretty much like BK, alone, but collaboration happens at a very basic level just because we're using a CVS as long it doesn't involve pet pkgs.
The build system now allows even 5-year-olds to build a puppy successfully, don't worry about who's releasing but how much woofce is in reality, how pure it is. Is it possible to reproduce?, of course only someone who has access to the official repos can answer that question..

Wrong! Having lived and worked as a member of your nation, I do realise how difficult it is for native-born Americans to appreciate what is happening elsewhere in RoW! Of course, your contention may be partly correct for folks visiting this Forum, but statistics suggest that ~95% of PC users still have W-XP, even W98, on their machines,
with <1Gb mem and some even using 386 & 486 cpu. Surely these are the target audience for Enlightenment...
This guy is always telling lies. Most people use Windows 7, and most people use Windows because Linux is only for experts who like to waste a lot of time figuring out how to install stuff and how to make it work, and in the case of Puppy Linux, just how to use rox is enough to drive most people nuts. It's a shame many people are advised to use this when looking for easy Linux alternatives to Windows, I certainly regret having spent a lot of time fixing it for me, time I could have spent making money.

The official kernel might be this one:

There was a build option added to address this:
## - x86_disable_pae -
## i486-i686: if the kernel is configured to be PAE capable
## this disables it automatically.
## note: the script will run 'make oldconfig' to ensure
## the new settings take effect
But i can certainly make all those kernel non-pae by default. I'll think about it.

Wildman69, I want to thank you for your honest reply
So, against my habit I have downloaded your iso and it looks very, very nice and clean. Desktop gives an easy and relax look. Not to much icons.
You make Puppy Linux to great succes by adding on an iso that is a boot-up screen with boot-up options. That's very useful for newbies and inexperience persons and makes boot-up a piece of cake.
Another boot-up options you can add on ISO are:
- Install Xenialpup to hard drive besides current operation system, without formatting
- A login-screen (like Windows)
You did an excellent job.

Post subject: A non Pae Puppy will work everywhere,
Subject description: but i doubt about they use Puppy with them
about Pae and 4Gb memory, perhaps people now buy computers with more than 4Gb of RAM, but i doubt about they use Puppy with them;
A non Pae Puppy will work everywhere, a Pae one will not work on most of our laptops, because either we are poor users, no reason to change our computer because Puppy Linux makes it work fast and in RAM, or simply last cmputers cannot run Puppy due to missing firmware.
Furthermore people with large RAM use it badly..
tiny Puppy, say 230mb is asked to trail monsters, without FAT trimmed, bigger and bigger.
Caution, the dogs get the original Puppy spirit. Their dogs are light, now full featured and could please Puppy's passengers.
Debainists try to make Lighter, please Puppy Linux, keep the original spirit, don't go to big OS . Keep on with non PAE, pleaaaase.
Passenger Pelo ! don't ask him to repair the aircraft. Don't use him as a demining dog .... pleeease.

about xenial 7.0.6..
As testers, ignore what it is made of, just taste if you like or not.. A puplet has to be part of the builder, with something different from the Puppies build on production lines of woof-ce.
Unfortunately this xenialpup did not please me, as the other xenial pups.. My choice remains XenialDog, and i was not for Dogs at all. XenialDog is really good quality. efficient as old puppies.

Post subject: non-PAE needed
My ThinkPad R51 needs non-PAE.
I feel I am not the only one to use old machines, just adding cheap RAM.
BTW: version naming should be as in buntus for example 16.04.3. "Tahr" and "Xenial" give some hint.
Early 2014 I burned tens of (for me) useless Puppies without the mobile broadband support I needed

Today, guest contributor and photographer Mark Olwick shares his top tips for traveling with photo gear...
Some lessons learned from traveling with photo gear are learned the hard way. I've been traveling with my gear for many years, usually dozens of flights per year through airports large and small, so I thought I'd share some tips I've learned along the way.
Travel light. I can't stress this enough. When it comes right down to it, you really don't need a ton of lenses, nor do you need two or three of everything as a backup. If you have a critical component that would end your photo trip, then yes, it's good to have a backup, but think long and hard as to what that is. One zoom can do a lot, but primes are (in general) lighter and take up less space. They're also usually faster and better quality than zooms, so it's a trade-off. If you use Lightroom or similar, look at what focal lengths you use the most. You might be surprised as to how few you use.
Keep the size of your bag in mind. Not all airplanes are created equal. The overhead bins on a Regional Jet or an ATR-45 are much smaller than your typical 737. They may end up checking your bag if it doesn't fit, and that can mean rough handling. I fit everything into my Think Tank Airport Antidote 2.0 and it works great. There are many other similar bags that work well too, but keep in mind airline's strict weight limits. Some airlines in Asia and Africa for example, have extremely low weight limits, even for carry-ons, so research each airline that you're flying on and find out before you have to pay hefty baggage fees. And if you find yourself over the weight limit, offloading some of your gear to a jacket with big pockets usually gets you around it.
Backpack, shoulder bag, or roller? If you take the advice in #1, I find a backpack to be the best, but if you're really packing for an expedition, then I'd recommend a roller like the Think Tank Airport International. Some of those walks through airports can get very long if you're trying to carry 40 lbs. of gear on your back, so save yourself and just get the roller. Note: I usually use one bag to get my gear to my location and then have a "shooting bag" such as a Domke F-2 to carry around just the gear that I need for that day. The canvas Domke bags fold to be very compact and are lightweight.
What if you have more gear than you can carry on? Then a hard sided case, such as a Pelican case, is by far the best solution as a checked bag. Keep in mind though, that baggage handler thieves have come to realize that valuable things are usually in Pelican cases, so one tip is to put your Pelican case inside a duffel bag and secure it shut with a lock and cable. It's not quite so obvious that way.
Security. One of the benefits of some bags is that they have built-in security cables or are lockable. Keep your gear locked with TSA-approved locks at all times. There have been instances where people have had their gear stolen out of their carry-on in the middle of a long international flight as they slept, so keep those locks on at all times. I also purchased a coated metal luggage cable to lock my bag to a fixture in my hotel room while I go out at night. PacSafe also makes a metal mesh net that you can put over your bag that does the same thing. It's not 100% fool proof, but it is definitely a deterrent.
Going through security. Security people have a tough job, so do what you can to make it easier on them. Organize your stuff inside your bag so that it's easily identifiable when it goes through an X-ray. If it's a rats nest of cables on top of everything else, that looks suspicious and can get you pulled aside. If that happens, just keep your cool, be polite and never ever lose your temper. There are good and bad security people, so if there's a problem, politely ask to see their supervisor and calmly explain things again.
Traveling with film. This may not apply to everyone, but I'll toss it in anyway. I always have my film in my carry-on and let it go through the X-ray. In countless airports through first and third world countries, I've never once had fogged film. Having said that, if your film is ISO 800 or above, or you'll push it to that, definitely ask for a hand check. Make it easy on them – have your film in a transparent Ziploc if that happens so they can quickly see what it is. If you're shooting large format, keep the boxes sealed but keep your changing bag handy in case they still want to open the box. The KEH blog has a whole separate post on traveling with film, so I'll leave it at that.
Tripods. I always have mine in my carry-on or strapped to my backpack, but then I have a super compact tripod – the Induro CT-014 (if you're looking for that holy grail of lightweight, sturdy and compact, this tripod is it). If you have a larger tripod though, you may be in trouble. In Japan they measured my tripod as I went through security. I don't know what the limit is, but I was under it. If you put your tripod in your checked bag, then you may want to consider keeping the head in your carry-on. That way, in the worst case scenario that your bag gets stolen, you can still pick up a tripod locally and use your head and plates. Another thing to watch out for if you carry your tripod on the plane is whether it has the sharp metal tips on the legs. Even if they're retractable, they could cause some raised eyebrows and not be allowed on.
Backing up your photos. If you're shooting digital, it's a great idea to back up your files to at least one, and preferably two places before your flight home. Those are valuable assets! You can back them up to a portable hard drive or something like a Hyperdrive. I also don't erase memory cards in the field – I keep them as a backup until I get home and back things up yet again. Memory cards are very cheap these days and it's well worth the extra piece of mind. Note that if you're traveling with someone, you may want to have them carry one of your backups just in case.
The best tip I can give (aside from traveling light) is to always keep a good attitude throughout your travels. Be flexible, try to understand local perspectives, stay calm if you run into a "situation" with security. Plan ahead and try to envision realistic situations you might find yourself in. You can't plan for every possible contingency, so relax and enjoy the fact that you're traveling the world taking photos!

Contributor Bio: I have had a camera in my hands ever since I can remember - more than 40 years. Starting with a Brownie box camera, then 35mm, medium format film, digital and everything in between. I have two true loves in my life - photography and travel.
One of my earliest memories is lying on the floor in our living room reading maps and dreaming of faraway places. Through my photography, I want to capture the emotion of travel rather than the literal interpretation of it. The dream not the reality, and film usually gives me the look that is closest to the vision in my mind.

While it remains to be seen whether Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III sets a record for rehabbing his torn ACL (we've never seen that category in the Guinness book), he has set a different kind of record during his first season in the NFL.
Via Rich Tandler of CSNWashington.com, the NFL sold more RGIII jerseys during the past fiscal year than any other jersey in any other year.
Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning came in second for the year, with the third-highest sales for any fiscal year. The rest of the top five for the fiscal year were Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
For team sales, the 49ers won the crown. They'd still have rather won the Super Bowl.
Griffin's popularity underscores the importance for the Redskins and the league of keeping him healthy for as long as possible. The game is driven by quarterbacks and the numbers ultimately are driven by star quarterbacks. Griffin already is one of the biggest stars in the game, but that will change quickly if he can't play.

Hang on... what's going on here, then?

The Times - (October 14, 2007): (Usmanov says); "I have everything, except children. That's the only thing missing in my life."
For clarity on this point, we turn to the Telegraph....
The Telegraph - (31 August, 2007): He is married to Irina Viner, one of the leading trainers of Russian rhythmic gymnastics, who has two children from a previous marriage...
... who therefore do not count.

Fire Claims Nashville Legend Jack Clement's Home and Studio
More than four decades of history went up in smoke on Saturday, when country music legend Cowboy Jack Clement lost his Nashville home in a blaze that also claimed his well-trafficked studio.
The 80-year-old Clement and his girlfriend escaped unharmed, along with their three cats and Clement's guitar collection — including his prize possession, a 1951 Gibson J200 that was once scratched by Elvis Presley's belt buckle. "I got my baby," said Clement. "That guitar means more to me than the house."
A Sun Records mainstay during the label's '50s heyday, Clement sat in on, and produced, many early sessions by artists such as Jerry Lee Lewis, George Jones, and Charley Pride. His home studio, coined the Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa, was a popular destination for a long list of artists that included John Prine, Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings. It housed a number of rare recordings — many of them unreleased and now presumably lost — by Cash, Prine, Louis Armstrong, and others.
Clement has also amassed an impressive list of credits as a producer and songwriter; he wrote a number of hits for other artists, including Johnny Cash's 'Ballad of a Teenage Queen' and Charley Pride's 'Does My Ring Hurt Your Finger.'

HILDALE, Washington County — State officials on Friday began the long-overdue process of formulating a plan to redistribute property and businesses on the Utah-Arizona border belonging to a polygamous sect led by Warren Jeffs.
They discussed four options with current and former members of the Fundamentalist LDS Church in a town hall-style meeting, which came seven years after Utah seized control of properties in Hilldale and in Colorado City, Ariz., following allegations of financial mismanagement by Jeffs and other church leaders.
The Utah attorney's general office presented four ideas: creating a board of trustees that can function with limited court involvement; dissolving the trust and letting the community decide how to redistribute the properties; dissolving the trust, auctioning off properties and giving people credits to buy them, and negotiating a new settlement.
Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, who arrived late due to travel delays, called it an opportunity for members, nonmembers and ex-members of the FLDS church to ensure they don't come away empty handed.
Utah took over a church trust that controls the properties in 2005 amid allegations of mismanagement by Jeffs and other church leaders. The state, which has a statutory duty to protect charitable trusts, stepped in because the trustees failed to respond to lawsuits, said Utah attorney general spokesman Paul Murphy. A November federal appeals court ruling cleared the way for the state to break up the church trust and sell homes, businesses and farms in the two small towns.
Jeffs is serving a life sentence in Texas for sexually assaulting two underage girls he considered his brides. He continues to try to lead the sect of about 10,000 people from jail. The sect is a radical offshoot of mainstream Mormonism whose members believe polygamy brings exaltation in heaven.
Shurtleff conceded that he can't stop people from getting property and giving it back to the church, but he delivered a passionate plea during the meeting for community members to spread the truth about Warren Jeffs.
"He is a convicted child rapist," Shurtleff said. "He is never coming out of prison."
Willie Jessop, a former church member who attended the meeting, said Jeffs sent an edict from jail forbidding members from attending the meeting. That didn't stop dozens of his followers from attending and risking being ex-communicated, he said.
"I think everyone is concerned about the status of their property," Jessop said.
But there were no city officials or law enforcement from Hilldale or Colorado City, Jessop said.
Officials from Hilldale and Colorado City opted not to attend the meeting because it would be a no-win situation for them to get involved and pick a side, said Blake Hamilton, an attorney representing the two cities. They will become involved when a proposal is finalized, he said.
Although state officials stressed that the four ideas they presented were merely ideas, not final proposals, those at the meeting expressed the most support for the option allowing the community to decide on the property distribution.
Bruce Wisan, the court-appointed trust manager, suggested distribution should be handled on a case-by-case basis and with as minimal disruption as possible. He spoke at length about the option of letting community members decide how to redistribute the homes and property.
Any plan must be approved by the 3rd District Court.
Shurtleff's staff said the community will have to prove a contribution of time, talent, money or property to be eligible to get assets from the trust, regardless of church involvement. The staff said the trust must remain religiously neutral and its assets cannot go toward polygamous practices.
Before any homes are turned over to community members, they must sell some of the property to pay off a $7 million debt that accumulated during the lengthy court battle. The properties were estimated to be worth at least $100 million.
Bill Richards, an attorney representing the Arizona attorney general's office, said there is no way to know how long this process will take. Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne did not attend.
Rod Parker, a Nevada attorney for the FLDS, did not return phone calls from The Associated Press.
The meeting exceeded the expectations of the Utah Attorney General's office, said spokesman Murphy.
"We heard some really good ideas and some legitimate concerns," Murphy said. "I heard a lot more common ground than I've heard in a long time."


text:
A movement has no gatekeepers. That means there is no way to stop destructive individuals from entering the movement. Yet, there must be quality control at some level to prevent damage to efforts to reach the goals of the movement. To detect dangers, a movement needs watchmen as lookouts.
JOB REQUIREMENTS. The individuals who choose to be watchmen and exercise quality control, in some manner and at some level, are necessarily "self-appointed." Such a function is open to anyone who sees a danger worthy of action and has the skills to take appropriate steps -- which means mainly the ability to present an objective argument proving his charges against other individuals in the movement.
Objectivity means drawing all ideas logically from facts of reality. To be objective, an indictment of one individual by another must present facts as well as an argument leading from those facts to the indictment. The facts must be presented with specificity; pointing in the general direction ("Look at his writings!") is not specific. The argument must cover the steps required to move from evidence to conclusion. The indictment must be clear.
Debates among various watchmen are inevitable and desirable. The accusers are akin to prosecuting attorneys. There are defendants, rightly or wrongly accused. There are also the ladies and gentlemen of the jury: anyone who studies the issues, makes a judgment, and acts accordingly. However, there is no judge to set rules of procedure. Nor is there a bailiff, a policeman, or a jailer.
EXAMPLE APPROACHES. There are many optional approaches available to watchmen who are ready to make charges. Here are two examples to consider for their particular methods:
(1) http://www.dianahsieh.com/ff
(2) http://www.checkingpremises.org/
They are widely separated in time. In some ways, they are different in their purposes and methods. The first consists mainly of an annotated list of links to the author's own discussions on particular topics of false friends of Objectivism. The second, in most (but not all) of its tabbed pages (as of the day I viewed it), also consists mainly of links to other writings critiquing individuals the accusers think are pseudo-Objectivists. (The second site is new and the content is evolving.)
A third effort to consider is an apologia, a coherent essay which offers a defense against charges:
(3) http://blog.dianahsieh.com/2012/01/on-some-recent-controversies.html
I have identified the particular writings above because of their virtues, whatever faults they might also have (which must be judged within the context of each project's purposes). Generally, in the links cited both sources are serious and dignified. They deal with issues, which here means individuals and their ideas. They eschew foul language, "hot headed" outbursts, hyperbole, street talk, and other symptoms of profane culture.
CONCLUSION. Does a movement need watchmen? Yes, to protect the movement's efforts to reach its goals. The responsibility of being watchmen is heavy. It requires diligence in research, thought, and argumentation. It also requires the strength to withstand scrutiny.
PERSONAL NOTE: A BRIGHT FUTURE. I judge a movement by the actions of its best individuals, which includes, in part, their efforts to (1) set an example for rational behavior and (2) discourage violations of etiquette. (By "etiquette" I mean principles and rules of behavior that facilitate trade among individuals in a society.)
I have been a student of Objectivism for fifty years. In looking at the best behavior of particular individuals in recent controversies, on both sides, I see some signs of increasing personal maturity and interpersonal civility -- both of which are prerequisites for the trade of ideas, a trade that strengthens a movement. I also keep in mind a generalization: In controversies, the best individuals in a movement are often quiet until they are ready to make a thoughtful statement, if one is even worth formulating.
In preparing to write The Power and the Glory: The Key Ideas and Crusading Lives of Eight Debaters of Reason vs. Faith, I read about conflicts in several movements (such as the movement to overthrow the Enlightenment). Compared to those movements, the Objectivist movement is healthy and growing stronger. For this and other reasons, I am objectively hopeful for the future of the Objectivist movement.
Burgess Laughlin
Author, The Power and the Glory:The Key Ideas and Crusading Lives of Eight Debaters of Reason vs. Faith
P. S. -- I "know" some of the individuals involved in the controversy above, but only through the internet. For personal reasons, I dislike a few and I have ceased communicating with them. The issues in the sites above, however, are not personal issues, but issues of individuals accused of misrepresenting or otherwise damaging the Objectivist movement.

OBC and Bike Lanes
I could be wrong - and if I am, someone will undoubtedly be along shortly to correct me! - but I don't believe OBC has taken any formal position either for or against bike lanes. There are several reasons for this. The coalition is just that, a coalition, and it should encompass a wide range of views. But more importantly, the coalition exists to educate cyclists, motorists, law enforcement personnel, bureaucrats, planners, and policy makers about safe, efficient bicycle use and operation.
You will hear the argument that education obviates the need for expensive facilities like bike lanes. You'll hear that the difference between crash rates on streets equipped with bike lanes and those without is negligible. And you'll hear that if lanes are installed, many more people will use bicycles for transportation. Each has vocal proponents and detractors, yet it's not the purpose of OBC to support or oppose those arguments. We exist to educate.
My personal opinion is that bicycle lanes are an expensive solution to a
negligible problem. Many believe that such lanes make cycling safer because that magic paint stripe somehow reduces the risk of being hit from behind. But that risk is very, very low to begin with. If I recall right, less than 8% of all cycling fatalities involve being hit from behind, and the majority of those happen after dark to cyclists without lights or reflectors. Intersections account for roughly two-thirds of fatalities, yet bike lanes make intersections and crossing movements more complicated. Finally, the build-it-and-they-will-come argument is not supported by facts. We've spent ever-increasing amounts on facilities like bike lanes (but also including linear parks and other cycling amenities) yet the number of cyclists has remained relatively flat (when bicycle sales figures are used as an estimate of the numbers of new cyclists).
I can't think of a better way of demonstrating the safety of cycling than by riding regularly on our streets and roads. It's isn't rocket science. It doesn't require super-human abilities. We routinely educate our children in Driver's Ed classes because we believe that they become safer drivers. No one would seriously propose building roads expressly for inexperienced or uneducated drivers, yet some propose just that for cyclists, as if we're incapable of learning. We should insist that our children get bicycle education in middle school, when they're old enough for good judgment skills. And we should insist that every club in the state get some of their members through a Road1 course too, because it's never too late to learn a
little more.
While it's true that as an LCI I have a financial stake in this, let's just say that I'm still very far on the debit side. (My spouse has pointed this out on several occasions, as spouses do.) I don't think any of the instructors in Oklahoma have made enough profit to call bicycling education more than an expensive hobby rather than a business. Yet despite some of our differences, we share a common view of the future of cycling here in Oklahoma, and we have a shared passion for cycling as both a transportation mode and a refreshing recreational choice.
Brian Potter wrote about bike lanes next to limited-access roads:
...AASHTO standards for bikeways call for anything referred to as a bike lane to be five feet wide. Personally, I prefer very wide outside lanes with relatively narrow shoulders (think idealized rural highway) or relatively narrow lanes with rather wide shoulders--in either case, bicyclists can ride in a space, either sharing the wide traffic lane or moving just over the line, which has been swept clean by the movement of motor traffic. On wide shoulders, the rumble strip should be further away from the lane stripe to allow safe cycling in the clean zone.
I think it's important to point out something that Brian mentioned in passing. AASHTO has standard engineering guidelines for bike lanes and other such facilities. Far too often, local public works departments want to build something on the cheap, and don't realize that by doing so, they increase risks to cyclists and incur liability for the local government by ignoring the guidelines. Shoddy, poorly designed and poorly maintained facilities are nothing more than a sop to local cyclists, intended to buy their silence.
We had one such proposal here in Tulsa. Archer Street is part of the city's bicycle plan, yet Urban Redevelopment wanted to install angled parking along it in order to accommodate more cars. Angled parking is a hazard to both bicyclists and motorcyclists. As an 'alternative', they drew up a bike route that twisted around through vacant lots, back alleys, and sidewalks in order to make the route 'safer' (and get those pesky cyclists out of the way of 'important' motor vehicle traffic!). The INCOG bicycling subcommittee reviewed the plans and opposed them vigorously. And it's at the planning stage where cyclists themselves are most effective in changing outcomes.
Brian called these planning meetings the tedious nuts-and-bolts of advocacy. And he's right. Poring over engineering documents is hardly exciting. But it's far easier to get changes made at the planning stage rather than after they're quite literally cast in concrete.

13-Year-Old Charged With Shooting Three Teens
A 13-year-old Chicago boy is being held in a juvenile facility on charges he shot three teens.
The boy, unidentified because of his age, is charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm.
The Cook County state's attorney office says the judge found probable cause to hold the boy for trial and determined he should be removed from his family. The family's attorney refused to comment on Wednesday's ruling.
Authorities say the 13-year-old was among a group who approached three teens as they stood on a street corner.
The 13-year-old pulled a gun and started shooting. A 14-year-old and a 17-year-old were shot in the head and are hospitalized in critical condition. Another 14-year-old was shot in the leg and hospitalized in stable condition.

Sounds like the first trailer from "The Amazing Spider-Man" is floating around the interwebs
Quote from: Brian on July 19, 2011, 10:22 AMSounds like the first trailer from "The Amazing Spider-Man" is floating around the interwebsIt's all over the place now. Like many of you guys, I'm not sure we needed a reboot, but it looks pretty good I guess.
From the trailer, I got that they want to play up the teen angst angle of Spiderman, and maybe tap into that audience.
FWIW, I think the POV shots of Spiderman doing some wallcrawling was actually somewhat interesting. I wasn't checking it out in the HD settings that Yahoo movies offers, so maybe there's still some work to be done there. But I think it's an interesting way for this new movie to set itself apart from the Sam Raimi trilogy of movies. In those we saw a lot of web-slinging, but not as much wallcrawling.
In this regard it seems like the director is trying to distance his work from what Sam Raimi did, and I can't say that I blame him.
Rob, I get that. It is a TEASER trailer, after all. If this movie is still a year out, it still has a lot of refining to go through. I would not be surprised if they were still in principle photoraphy, if not pickup shoots. And I doubt the POV wallcrawling is going to make it into the film. This teaser seems like it is very likely something the studio was pushing for SPECIFICALLY for the week of Comic Con. It's not a coincidence that it was released today.
That was no teaser. That was a full trailer, nearly 2:30 in length.

In what has become a rare scene in Washington, a group of bipartisan lawmakers joined President Barack Obama today at the White House for his signing of the Stop on Congressional Knowledge Act.
"The powerful shouldn't get to create one set of rules for themselves and one set of rules for everyone else," Obama said at the signing.
Jason Reed / Reuters
President Obama signs the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act on April 4.. The act ensures that members of Congress are subject to the same insider trading laws as other Americans.
The legislation, referred to as the STOCK Act is designed to prohibit members of Congress, their families and staff from using any information gleaned while working on the Hill to execute stock transactions.
"The President's signing of the bipartisan STOCK Act is an important step toward ensuring that Members of Congress and federal officials don't profit from insider information and abide by the same rules as everyone else," said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va. "Rather than letting our differences divide us, as so often happens in Washington, this bipartisan bill shows that we can come together and deliver results for the American people."
President Obama has publicly pushed for the measure since his State of the Union address on January 24, 2012. "Send me a bill that bans insider trading by members of Congress; I will sign it tomorrow."
Eight members of Congress from both parties attended the signing, but the presence of Republican Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown was maybe the most politically significant.
Brown, a Republican who faces a tough re-election battle against Democrat Elizabeth Warren, the president's former consumer financial protection czar, sent out a release touting his appearance at today's signing, and another bill signing tomorrow -- an unusual boast for a Republican to make.
Massachusetts Democrats countered by releasing a video (http://youtu.be/hOsM9k0jPV4) featuring clips of all the instances in which Brown voiced support for Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor whose staff overlapped significantly with Brown's own campaign staff in 2010.
The STOCK Act moved swiftly through Congress after public reaction to a "60 Minutes" segment questioning whether lawmakers including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, made investments based on their knowledge of legislative activity.
While the lawmakers named in the piece disputed any wrongdoing, Congress reacted quickly to prevent the future appearance of questionable ethical practices. The STOCK Act was approved in the House by a vote of 417 to 2, with the Senate voting 93 – 2 in favor.
Some senators weren't too pleased with the changes the House made in their version, but still supported the measure. The House GOP's version of the bill strengthened the restrictions and reporting requirements for the executive branch. It also took out an amendment that was included in the Senate bill that tightened restrictions on people who take information from Capitol Hill and sell it to financial institutions.

BROSSARD, QUE.—Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will miss the rest of Montreal's playoff series against the Ottawa Senators with a lower-body injury.
The team made the announcement on Thursday, hours before Game 5 of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarter-final.
Peter Budaj, who was 8-1-1 in the regular season, is expected to start in goal with Robert Mayer as his backup.
Budaj replaced Price for the overtime period in a 3-2 loss Tuesday night in Ottawa. He faced two shots and allowed a goal from Kyle Turris.
Price appeared to injure his groin late in regulation time. He has struggled at times in the series and had a 3.26 goals-against average and .894 save percentage.
The Canadiens announced Wednesday that captain Brian Gionta would miss the rest of the playoffs with a torn biceps tendon. He is to undergo surgery on Friday.
Forwards Ryan White, Brandon Prust and Lars Eller are also out with injuries.

Blake Shelton's Ten Times Crazier Tour Off to a Good Start With Sold-Out Dates
By the end of the first two weekends of Blake Shelton's Ten Times Crazier Tour, 110,000 will have experienced the singer's phenomenal show, which sold out its first two weekends with truly crazy success.
The tour kicked off Friday (June 19), and all three dates this past weekend sold out with over 50,000 fans in attendance. Ttickets for this coming weekend's dates have topped 60,000, selling out in St. Louis, Indianapolis and Cincinnati.
At one of his kickoff weekend concerts, Shelton's fans made sure the party got started even before doors opened, as tailgaters arrived first thing in the morning. Even the 'Mine Would Be You' singer was blown away by the response of his fans, saying, "I heard music playing and just figured it was beachgoers, but then I went outside and realized my fans had arrived earlier in the morning to tailgate. Here we are in New York and there are pickup trucks and cowboy hats filling out the parking lot at Jones Beach. That was beyond anything I had anticipated."
The country star didn't disappoint fans with his first few shows, performing many of his 14 No. 1 hit singles much to the delight of concertgoers. But he didn't just focus on new music -- he also added in older classics with a couple of exciting surprises throughout the show. Special guests Easton Corbin and ACM New Female Vocalist of the Year Jana Kramer rounded out the show to make it something country fans will be talking about... until the next Shelton tour.
In his 2013 Ten Times Crazier Tour, Shelton shows that he truly is the reigning Entertainer of the Year.

Sometime next week Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy will very likely make public the Packers' plans for how they plan to deploy their tackles, both left and right, while at the annual NFL owners meetings in Orlando.
As of the NFL Combine, McCarthy still hadn't decided, citing transition on the coaching staff contributing to a delay in evaluation of personnel. He also wanted to opportunity to personally speak with Bryan Bulaga and inform him what the staff decided.
Truly, a compelling argument can be made either way whether to install Bulaga or David Bakhtiari as Aaron Rodgers' blindside protector.
Bulaga is the experienced veteran, a Super Bowl champion and has the more ideal size suited for being a franchise left tackle, one inch taller and roughly 14 lbs. heavier than Bakhtiari.
On the other hand, Bakhtiari has the longer arms, quicker feet and room to improve, entering just his second year in the NFL.
The good news for the Packers is that they probably can't go wrong either way. It's an enviable position. They have plenty of options to choose from, and if Derek Sherrod can finally get healthy, he's not out of the mix at both tackle positions either.
So what will be deciding factor? Probably something that doesn't have anything with their play on the field.
With Bulaga entering the final season of his contract, the Packers can influence his earning power by switching Bulaga back to right tackle, where he spent the first three seasons of his career.
The coaching staff may not admit the financial ramifications play a factor, but they also don't have to. McCarthy can cite any number of reasons, such as not wanting to move Bakhtiari and mess up his rapport with Josh Sitton. He can also express a desire to move Bulaga back to the strong-side of the offensive line, where he can help pave the way for Eddie Lacy in the run game. Those are all perfectly legit reasons too.
Last season the Packers made the decision to slide Bulaga to the opposite edge, pairing him with Sitton on the left side of the offensive line. That was before Bulaga's torn ACL early in training camp halted such a development.
Before the Packers even consider offering Bulaga a contract extension, he's going to have to prove he can stay healthy after landing on injured reserve each of the past two seasons. In 2012, his campaign ended after suffering a fracture in the capsule of his left hip.
Assuming he does stay healthy, the Packers face the challenge of fitting Bulaga into a salary-cap structure made increasingly difficult by booming salaries league-wide.
The Packers also figure to extend the contracts of another pair of players before they hit free agency next season in wide receivers Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. They represent another piece of the salary-cap puzzle and could impact what the Packers have left to offer Bulaga.
Certainly there are different ways to judge the value of NFL players, such as guaranteed dollars and length of a contract, but just a cursory look at the average per year salaries of left tackles compared to right tackles shows a significant difference.
The NFL's highest-paid right tackle, Gosder Cherilus of the Indianapolis Colts, makes $7 million per season. At that rate, Cherilus would rank 16th on the list of the highest-paid left tackles.
It's impossible to look at the Bulaga situation in a vacuum. If there's an NFL team that thinks he could be their franchise left tackle and Bulaga is dead set on testing the open market, there's a chance someone could pay him in excess of $9 million a season, especially if he has a strong bounce-back year—even if it comes at right tackle.
But as B.J. Raji found out, a bird in hand is better than two in the bush. And that's exaclty what the Packers will offer, a bird in hand.
If Bulaga proves to be the same player he's been his first three years in professional football—good but not great, solid but not spectacular—and particularly if he's slow to recover from last year's knee injury, then naming him the Packers' right tackle makes a whole lot of sense financially. And it's not as that decision would be a hindrance from a competitive standpoint either.
Bakhtiari has just as much entitlement to be the Packers' left tackle as Bulaga after being a steadying influence in 2013.

Fired New London police officer gets his job back
New London Police Officer Joshua Bergeson was back on the job Monday, more than a year after he was fired by the city for his alleged involvement in the beating of a man outside a city drug and alcohol detoxification center.
City and union officials both confirmed Bergeson was rehired after an agreement was reached over the union grievance he filed after being fired.
That agreement includes a nondisclosure clause barring either side from discussing any details of the terms of Bergeson's return, said New London's Chief Administrative Officer Jane Glover.
Officer Todd Lynch, the local union president, said the union had challenged the city's "just cause," to terminate Bergeson's employment.
"The union certainly worked hard to get him back," said Lynch. "We're happy he is back. He's a hard worker. He is a good police officer. His family has a longstanding history of dedicated service to the city."
Lynch said Bergeson's father, Axel Bergeson, is a former lieutenant and his brother, Todd Bergeson, is a captain on the force.
Bergeson's firing was announced in January 2012 by Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio following an administrative hearing to review Bergeson's role in the police response to a Dec. 14, 2011, call at the Southeastern Connecticut Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependency facility on Coit Street. The center had called for help in getting Reuben Miller, 31, to the hospital for treatment of high blood alcohol content.
During Miller's arrest for interfering with an officer and second-degree breach of peace, witnesses said responding officers repeatedly punched him and used pepper spray on him.
An internal police investigation, however, cleared Bergeson and other officers of any wrongdoing while highlighting some breaches in departmental procedures.
The Dec. 30 report by Sgt. L.J. Keating found officers did not violate police department standards as it pertains to use of force. Keating determined Bergeson had incorrectly deployed his pepper spray, being too close to Miller's face. Bergeson had struck Miller, according to the report, because the pepper spray had no effect.
Finizio, in January 2011, said Bergeson was fired for "repeated absences from work and his involvement in the incident at the SCADD facility." Bergeson was the only officer of five disciplined in connection with the incident.
The firing came at the same time Finizio had announced the suspension of another officer who was accused of planting drugs at the scene of an arrest.
Bergeson was not immediately available for comment.

Docomomo US and Houston Mod are pleased to announce the second annual Docomomo US National Symposium will take place in Houston, Texas from March 13-15, 2014. Save the dates for what will be a lively and surprising context for the examination of modernism's legacy, and consideration of its future, in Houston and in Texas. Additional information, including tours and presentations, is forthcoming and will be available on the Docomomo US and National Symposium websites.
Photo: University of St. Thomas, Philip Johnson 1958
The Symposium's host city Houston, Texas is the nation's fourth-largest city, and the largest city in Texas, with 2.3 million residents. At over 600 square miles, the City of Houston could contain the cities of New York, Washington, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Minneapolis and Miami. Now rated as a global city, Houston has a population from various ethnic and religious backgrounds and a large international community.
Since its founding in 1836, Houston's entrepreneurial can-do spirit has captured the imagination of forward-thinking generations in Texas and beyond. Known for reinventing itself every few years, Houston is a city that embraces both old and new and remains a treasure trove of modernism, having led the way for much of what is "Modern in Texas."

Modern landmarks in Houston include: Mies van der Rohe's Museum of Fine Arts, Gunnar Birkerts' Contemporary Arts Museum, Ulrich Franzen's Alley Theatre, and Philip Johnson's University of St. Thomas with a sprinkling of more recent works by Renzo Piano, Raphael Moneo, Yoshio Tanaguchi, and Thomas Phifer. On a smaller scale there are many fine examples of early residential modernism are found throughout the city and are located within Houston's 20 protected districts, including Glenbrook Valley, the most expansive locally designated mid-20th century historic district in the country.

The Modernism in Texas symposium will include a multifaceted schedule of events including presentations by leading minds in the fields of architecture and preservation on the current issues facing modern architecture and cultural heritage preservation. Exclusive tours and networking events will highlight exceptional examples of modernism in the greater Houston area as well as those sites that may be endangered. As the only national event working to explore and build consensus on the preservation of modern architecture, the symposium will bring together world renowned designers, scholars, students and professionals from the state of Texas and from around the country.
Docomomo US is thrilled to partner with Houston Mod a non-profit membership organization dedicated to promoting knowledge and appreciation of modern architecture and design in Houston and Texas. Founded in 2003, Houston Mod advocates the preservation of this cultural legacy and seeks support from its members and the general public in achieving this goal.

Burlington�s human resources director has filed a discrimination complaint against the city with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, claiming he was singled out and disciplined because of his race.
Aaron Noble said in his complaint that he is one of four city employees who oversaw an employee wellness program but is the only one of the four to be punished because records of the program weren�t properly maintained. The other three employees who oversaw the program are white.
In October 2012, the city of Burlington launched an internal investigation into the accounting policies � or lack thereof � of its Wellness Council, which has hosted events to encourage healthy eating, smoking cessation and exercise in city employees since 2007.
The program, under direction of the city�s Human Resources/Health Services departments, has offered prizes as incentive to achieve certain participation standards.
The investigation began after City Councilman Bob Ward publicly renewed his request, originally made in May, to see documentation of prizes awarded to city employees through the Wellness Program.
A city audit showed only $2,583.37 of $15,725.05 in purchased prizes could be identified as having a named recipient. Additionally, no records were kept detailing specific recipients of incentives purchased to be given to all program participants, which totaled $28,443.82.
Following the investigation, Noble was issued a written reprimand and placed on one-year probation �for failure to implement proper policies and maintain desired records for the operation of the City�s Wellness Program,� the city released in a statement Oct. 2.
Ward said his documentation request had been to keep the city accountable of tax funds, but at a city council meeting Oct. 16, 2012, Noble publicly charged Ward with �pursuing a personal vendetta against me, with his goal being the termination of my employment.�
Noble�s narrative to the EEOC states he has been employed by the city of Burlington since July 1986, and has been human resources director since 1996.
He said City Manager Harold Owen, whom Noble identified as white, had explained the reason for his reprimand and probation as �failure to implement proper policies and maintain desired records for the operation of the City�s Wellness Program.�
�There was no documentation designating this responsibility to me. I am one of four employees who make up the Wellness Council Leadership Team,� Noble wrote, adding he was the only black employee on the team.
�Even though all four of us equally share leadership responsibility on the Wellness Council, I was the only one disciplined for this matter,� Noble wrote.
The EEOC�s letter to the city stated Noble�s charge is being considered for mediation by the commission, which is offered as an alternative to investigative processes.
�It is not a forum for reaching a determination on whether discrimination occurred,� the letter states. If the charge can be resolved during the mediation process, the EEOC will end its processing of the charge.
Noble declined comment Friday, except to say, �It�s at a very sensitive juncture right now.�
