Microsoft says it has fixed a problem with its Windows Live Hotmail service that temporarily deleted the e-mail of more than 17,000 users.
The trouble began on Dec. 30 when the e-mail in 17,355 accounts disappeared. On Monday, a Microsoft executive wrote that the company had identified the technical glitch and restored e-mail to the affected accounts by Sunday night.
"Customers impacted temporarily lost the contents of their mailbox through the course of mailbox load balancing between servers," wrote Chris Jones, a corporate vice president with Windows Live Engineering, on a company blog. "As with all incidents like this, we will fully investigate the cause and will take steps to prevent this from happening again. We're very sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused to you, our customers and partners."
Users created a Facebook group that outlined their problems with Hotmail. Some users reported that their e-mail had indeed been restored by Sunday night, but others noticed inconsistencies.
Several people wrote that their e-mails had been restored but that they were missing new ones sent since Dec. 30, the day the outage occurred. Company officials wrote on another forum that the issue was resolved by Sunday night.
Microsoft uses its SQL Server to manage Hotmail in what it says is the largest deployment of its product in the world, using tens of thousands of SQL databases.

At this point, the kernel is prepped and ready, but if you reboot now, your system won't come back up due to device file system errors. The problem is that TimeSys Linux depends on the devfs file system.
To solve this problem, install devfsd from Richard Gooch's site. Extract the tar file, then copy it to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/. Switch to the directory where the file extracted to, then run:
# rpmbuild -ba rpm.spec [1]
This should build the devfs package and place it in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/. You can then install this RPM by typing:
# rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/devfsd-1.3.25-1.i386.rpm
Normally, you would now need to add the line /sbin/devfsd /dev into /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, but Red Hat Linux 9 should already have done this for you during installation.
If your system can't find rpmbuild, you may need to install the rpm-build package first.

The Triton Story
Lacking the college tradition of having an appropriate "nickname," and faced with
the dilemma of sending a basketball team into the Navy League with little more to
call them other than "COGS," a faculty-student committee organized a name selecting
This committee eventually chose six names for consideration and ballots were placed in the Student Center. The popular choice was TRITONS, and from this our own college tradition was born.
A fine decal showing our little TRITON became a common car window dressing, thanks to the creative talent of co-ed, Bonnie Kinloch.
At last the College of Guam started to look collegiate!
Excerpt from the 1963 Edition of the UOG Coral Yearbook.
The Founder of the University
Excerpts from: Recollections of Older Days, MARC, 1992 by Dr. Jose Palomo, Director, Department of Education
Upon my arrival in Guam, my first official act was to pay my respects to its first civilian governor, Mr. Carlton Skinner. He welcomed me cordially and offered full cooperation in my work as the Director of Education. My next stop was at the office of the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Simon Sanchez, a veteran in his profession and the highest ranking Guamanian in the Department of Education at the time. The final stop was at my office, an ample section of the elephant Quonset in which Mr. Sanchez had his office.
The Government of Guam placed a jeep at my disposal for official use, a good choice for traveling over the rough roads leading to the towns south of Hagåtña. Mr. Sanchez almost always accompanied me on my inspection trips around the island. I learned much from him about school problems as our jeep careened from one pot hole in the road to the next. In this way, I learned about the needs of the school system on the island. The learning process took all the remaining months of 1950.
Two major administrative problems faced me. One was the presence of over one hundred contract teachers who had been brought to the island from several states at the same salary they had been getting in their home school districts and whose tours of duty were for only two years. Their presence was welcomed by Navy and Air Force personnel because they wanted their children to be able to educationally fit into any school district to which their parents might be transferred some day. 的部门 Education also had to pay the cost of their round trip transportation.
The other, and correlated, problem was finances. When I consulted the island's Treasurer about the proposed budget for 1951, he informed me that the public schools would consume almost half of the island's anticipated revenues. Early in 1951, as I became better acquainted with the Department of Education and its problems, a thought began to gestate in my mind about how to maintain current educational levels, but at a more reasonable cost. Why not train young Guamanians locally so that they could reach teaching standards equal to those in mainland schools? I kept churning the idea in my head for a few days, and then decided to discuss the prospect with Governor Skinner.
In September of 1951, I was on a Pan American plane en route to San Francisco. My
objective was to call on the Director of Extension Courses at the University of California
in Berkeley,. My brother Ben was at the airport to welcome me. We drove to his home
in Los Altos about thirty-five miles south of San Francisco. He and his wife insisted
that I stay with him, a courtesy I greatly appreciated.
Ben let me drive his car the next day to Berkeley. The Director of Extension Courses politely told me that his organization was fully engaged in South Korea in connection with our troops who were stationed there after the Korean war. I was disappointed; I had counted on Berkeley's cooperation because of our location in the Pacific.
My next stop was New York City, where I called upon the Director of Extension Services
at New York University. He said that they also were fully occupied in educational
work at Ramey Air Force Base in Puerto Rico, but their contract would expire in another
year. His organization would consider coming to Guam at that time, he said. I told
him that I would contact him if I could not find another university which was available
My last stop, and last hope, was Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. I went straight to the office of the Dean of the College of Education, even though I had not previously made an appointment. When I arrived at the Dean's office, his secretary asked me about my mission. I told her that I was the Director of the Department of Education on Guam and that I would like to see the Dean. I was immediately ushered into the private quarters of Dr. Donald P. Cottrell.
I told Dr. Cottrell that I was planning to start a teacher training school on Guam, which was recently made an unincorporated territory of the United States. I gave him the reasons for undertaking such a project. His face lit up as he said, "You have come to the right place at the right time." The Dean told me that the Chairman of the Department of School Administration had just retired, having reached the mandatory retirement age of seventy, and would be a likely candidate for the job. His secretary gave me the professor's current address and telephone number. The Dean laughingly told me that the professor was know to all his colleagues as "Hi" Lewis.
With the information given to me by the Dean, I had no trouble making contact with him in his central Florida retreat. Hi was very enthusiastic about the project. After a short briefing on the need for a teachers college on Guam, Hi Lewis' last words were, "When do I start?" I assured him that he would the key man in organizing a teachers college on Guam and that I would advise him when he should come to the island to start the great adventure.
I spent another day in Columbus conferring with Dean Cottrell regarding a written agreement to ensure the continuity of our common enterprise. He said that he would draft such a document as an understanding between Ohio State University and the Government of Guam. With this assurance, I felt that I had accomplished my mission. I bade goodbye to the Dean and then set out on a plane to San Francisco, happy that my efforts were starting to bear fruit.
Again, my faithful brother Ben was waiting for me at the airport. We drove to his
home and after a hearty dinner, I went to be satisfied that my mission had been successful.

Blog Post: For Your Eyes Only
Pinurabi shows us what the Square Enix office look like in London and what the media attending their event can expect! Discuss in the Zam Forums.
For Your Eyes Only
February 19, 2013
?Allo there, guvnors! Pinurabi here, writin? to freshen the drink what?s the latest from the FFXIV: ARR media tour.
...Okay, that was pretty bad. Terrible characterization and metaphor aside, our contingent has arrived safely in London, where Square Enix Europe is located. Check out this sweet enclosed courtyard inside the office building!
Taking a quick walk around the office, I stumbled into some familiar faces. Asked what she?s most looking forward to in ARR, Lara here gave a knowing wink and said simply: ?Raids.?
The format of UK event is the same as it was the US: Yoshi-P gives a presentation to our media attendees, after which there?s some hands-on time. Next come the interview sessions. It's an intense schedule?the information flows freely, and so does the coffee.
Though the event is being held in the UK, our media guests hail from other parts of Europe as well, France and Germany to name a few. We appreciate you making the trip, everyone!
Lastly, you?ll recall the swanky USB cards we had in San Francisco. For London we have leather-bound USB sticks that ooze class. Can?t stop...playing with...magnetic cover...!
...Nope, these aren?t for sale either!

Hello my name is Lilly and the other day I made this Christmas tree at school using recycled materials...mum thought it was pretty cool and asked me to share with everyone how it was made...it's really easy and lots of fun!
Okay, so first you need a magazine, make sure its an old one and not one that your mum is reading.
The size of your tree will depend on the thickness and size of your magazine, mum said a small one made from an old Readers Digest (whatever that is) would work really well too.
Open the cover then take the first page and fold it over like this.... make sure you press the crease really well.
Then just fold it over again like this...your first 'tree fold' is nearly finished..
Then just fold the bottom bit up..
Then turn the page and start all over again. You have to do this for every page of the magazine, then at the end get your mum or dad to rip off the outside cover of the magazine and there you have it your very own recycled Christmas tree!
You could spray paint the tree if you like and even add its very own decorations or star but I like it just the way it is - what do you think??
Have fun creating your very own tree and don't forget to leave my mum a message or send a photo I'd love to see what you have created.
Merry Christmas everyone, Lilly

Today in Edmonton a gunman held hostages for 10 hours at the Workers Compensation Board office.
The general consensus from people I've talked to today with WCB problems before and now is goddamn that asshole who beat me to it.
Pretty much the WCB offices were asking for it. It's hard engendering sympathy for an organization that so abuses its monopoly position.

How about you go talk to the people who benefit from the WCB every year and then say something.

Been following you on twitter all day as you spout your nonsense. You are a scary, anti-social person. As you are a conservative extremist, I suggest you go back to the forest and live as a hunter-gatherer, because that is where society would be today if conservatives actually had influence.

That's awfully hard to do, seeing as how impossible it will be to find any of them.
The typical WCB experience is this: you get hurt at work and they determine if you got hurt with a task part of your regular or instructed employement tasks (or however they phrase it). If you did, then you're thrust into their world where they pretty much exert full control over your care. If you got hurt with non-work related injuries than you are not able to get healthcare from the regular public system (if they catch you lying about injuries at work they can recoup costs) nor from the WCB. Sweet deal, sweet deal.
As I tweeted earlier today, a few people I work with had horror stories from either themselves or loved ones at the Workers Compensation Board. Many had to do with the stifling rules and bureaucracy by which you are not permitted by law to escpae. Those same bureaucrats were taken hostages today. Any idea why some people are having trouble shedding a tear?

I assume you realize that the lowly case workers Clayton demanded to see have precisely zero control over policy and procedure. They have one or several thick binders that tell them what they can and cannot offer or approve. Any attempt to circumvent or appeal these rules in the spirit of providing genuine help is rebuffed by supervisors and managers who have been told to obsess about the bottom line. I don't know much about WCB, but I do know about a few of the other programs run by gov't that give money to people in bad situations and I can say they're all run the same. THe only way someone gets around the rules is to run to a MLA or cabinet minister. I don't care what shitty agency you work for, nobody deserves to be taken hostage.

I believe that if people work for the government then they should know that when they go to a work setting with security locks, plexiglass as the case may be; they are knowingly placing their safety at risk, as I had called recently and left a message for the Previous Minister of Community Services stating such.
Surely they know that they piss people off and lie though their teeth.,,, I have documentation which supports that and it runs from Goverment Agency to Government Agency. They all Support Each other. I have caught many of them up in Lies and Contradictions and if that is what they are good at; they deserve parctically anything they get. They can dish it out..And they are supporting a System which all to many Government workers will act like they are sympatheric but are Pathetic. Lieing to people and turning them away.
Organized Crime! Lets Combat It, Starting at the Highest Level. TAPE YOUR CALLS, IT MAY BE HELPFUL SOMEDAY IN CREATING A DEMOCRACY AND ELIMATING MOCKERY!
The Government make all too many people mentally Sick for sure.
The have very little hesitation in paying for Psychiatric Pill,Pills for Depression etc. which I guess makes this such a GREAT Health Care System.

The trouble with the holidays is twofold. (Understand that I plan to blame all of this weight problem on the season and none of it on my own lack of self control. The holidays are absolutely not about taking responsibility for one's actions.)
The first problem with the holidays is that there is always food available. More importantly, good food. It starts with Thanksgiving - an entire evening dedicated to stuffing our faces with meat, starch, fat and sugar until the tryptophan kicks in and we're too tired to lift our forks the foot and a half from plate to mouth. Follow that up with the beginning of December - I no longer consider Christmas to be the 25th of December. I firmly believe that Christmas has turned into the entire month of December. Office holiday parties, family Christmas parties, friends finding any excuse to throw a party, and always with cookies and tarts and hor d'oeuvres as far as the eye can see.
The second problem - and the real problem if you ask me - is the stress. No matter how carefully we coordinate our parties and plan our shopping, the holidays are stressful. Thousands of people risk their lives on Black Friday, sales are everywhere, relatives and friends are shipping off presents right and left, and it makes it impossible for anybody to be cool as a cucumber. Thus our poor brains are infused with stress hormones which in turn trigger a nearly insatiable desire to inhale sweets, salts and fats like they're the air we need to breathe.
So while I may dream of a thin Christmas, I will just have to be one of the masses flocking to the gym once the holidays are over. We will trudge into the fitness centers with determination and just a hint of shame, and with the help of some sincerely judgmental fitness professionals we will return to our pre-holiday shapes. Then next year, we'll do it all again. It's nice to have tradition.

A Brief History of Show Skiing
Extremely popular in the upper Midwest, and practiced throughout the nation, show skiing combines components of all water ski disciplines. Water ski shows are an aquatic Broadway musical, featuring several water ski acts choreographed to music and built around a theme that tells a story.
Unique to show skiing are ballet/swivel skiing, adagio doubles, freestyle jumping and human pyramids. Ski show exhibitions or shows involve amateur clubs which usually have 30 or more members. Some clubs even have more than 200 members! Age is not a factor since ski club performers can range from children to grandparents.
Show skiing is a rich part of the sport's history. Water skiers have been performing amateur and professional ski shows since the 1940s. In fact, in the 1950s, the most talented traditional competitors also were ski show professionals.
Show Skiing has been Around for More than 90 Years
No one knows what Ralph Samuelson, the acknowledged father of water skiing, hoped to accomplish when he created the sport in 1922, but it was soon apparent that one thing he wanted to do was put on a "show" for his neighbors on the Minnesota lake where he lived. Samuelson's first pull on skis was behind a motor boat, but he quickly created a new act (one not done today) by skiing behind an airplane on floats! The development of water skiing as a form of entertainment can be traced to this theatrical beginning.
Earliest Organized Show
Information in the files of the Water Ski Hall of Fame in Polk City, Fla., indicates that show skiing as an organized activity was born in 1928 some 1,000 miles east of Minnesota in New Jersey. That year an entrepreneur named Frank Sterling signed a contract with the Atlantic City Steel Pier to produce a water sports show on a motorized device called a skiboard. Events soon showed that the skiboard was unsuited to the water conditions, so he switched his performers to a new form of activity — water skiing.
One of the original members of the 1928 Steel Pier show was Harold "Pee Wee" Care of Margate City, N.J. Reminiscing 55 years later about his experiences with the show, Care wrote the Water Ski Hall of Fame saying: "Skiboards were forerunners of the present day motorized skimobiles, with flat bottoms and deck approximately 3-1/2-feet wide, 6-feet long and 8 inches deep. Ten horsepower Johnson direct-drive motors were locked in straight forward position, and after pulling the rope to start the motor you stood up with rope handlines (and) steered like an aquaplane by leaning your weight from side to side.
"The rough water proved them to be unreliable with too many shows canceled. An act had to be made up using the aquaplanes and tow skis. I was hired for my aquaplane experience. Our act was to put on a fast 10 to 12 minutes with something going on in front of the audience at all times. The two girls did a shoulder carry and rode on one ski. The three fellows did three headstands, a pyramid and three-high shoulder carry on the aquaplane. The dog would leap out of the boat when it was his turn, swim to the aquaplane, ride with the girl then swim back to the boat to be lifted out of the water. We finished with the driver of the boat cracking the whip trying to sling the rider off of the aquaplane."
The skis used in those early Steel Pier shows were made by another pioneer in water skiing, Fred Waller, who had concluded, much like Samuelson, that there was a future in the sport. Waller, who had never heard of Samuelson, was making skis and selling them in the northeast.
Others Getting Started
That same year another man, who later was to have a tremendous impact on the public's recognition of water skiing as entertainment, was doing a ski show in Florida. Dick Pope Sr. rode a pair of skis over a long, low slanted ramp to introduce water ski jumping to an audience at Miami Beach. Fifteen years later he brought show skiing to America's attention by introducing it into his Cypress Gardens attraction in central Florida.
Meanwhile, in Seattle, Wash., another enterprising ski maker named Don Ibsen (a third pioneer of water skiing, who also didn't know about Samuelson) was looking for a way to promote the fledgling sport and his products. In 1937, he recruited a few local skiers and they put on a show at Seward Park in Seattle. He named the troupe the Ski-Quatic Follies, and their promotional slogan was "Poetry in Motion." According to an article published in the Seattle Post Intelligencer newspaper, the show's acts included, "hurdles, balloon gathering, water slalom, acrobatic aquaplane riding and several other feats difficult to perform on a free surf board."
The enthusiasm of the crowds that watched his earliest shows convinced Ibsen that he had a good thing going, and the group soon began performing in other West Coast cities. It wasn't long before they were on the road most of the summer when Ibsen then realized some sort of training facility was needed in order to replace skiers who left the show to pursue other interests. In 1939, Ibsen and two friends, Bill Schumacher and Bob Schmidt, created what is believed to be the first water ski club in the United States — the Olympic Water Ski Club. For many years afterward, members of the club would practice all year on Lake Washington in Seattle. When the new Ski-Quatic Follies show hit the road each year, vacancies in the acts would be filled by skiers from the club.
A version of this club training is practiced even today as the professional ski shows — such as those which appear at Cypress Gardens (Florida), Tommy Bartlett's (Wisconsin) and several other summer theme parks across the country — recruit their new performers from within the ranks of the amateur show clubs.
Water Ski Clubs Formed Around Show Skiing
The late William D. Clifford, who retired in 1984 after serving 28 years as the executive director of USA Water Ski, thought that most of the early water ski clubs formed in the United States were begun by skiers who were interested in putting on shows, rather than holding competitive water ski tournaments. Today, there are more than 650 water ski clubs affiliated with USA Water Ski. Many of them are interested only in competitive tournament skiing — slalom, tricks and jumping. But a great number of them are dedicated to show skiing and it is evident that this aspect of the sport continues to grow.
Wisconsin Leads Expansion
If show skiing began in the 1920s and 1930s on the coasts, it really bloomed in the 1950s and 1960s in the Midwest. Wisconsin took the lead in the development of clubs whose main interest is show skiing, and today there are more show clubs in that state than any other.
One of the early Wisconsin show clubs was the Min-Aqua Bats of Minocqua, whose roots can be traced back to 1950. It was an informal beginning, fostered when a group of local young people skiing on Sundays noticed that families would stop along the road and watch them ski. Encouraged by the attention, the skiers decided to put together a show for the onlookers and thus an entertainment tradition was started that continues today.
Today, many of the Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota clubs perform shows for the benefit of their towns and cities. The entertainment is a way for tourist-conscious communities to attract visitors who crowd the shorelines of city lakes and rivers to watch the fun.
First Show Tournament
Tournament show skiing, in which the clubs compete to produce the best acts and best overall performance, came into being in 1967. Jack Lukes, president of the Aqua Skiers Inc. water ski club of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., was seeking a way to create greater national interest in show skiing. With encouragement from fellow Wisconsin skier Allen Bubolz, at that time board chairman of USA Water Ski, Lukes wrote the first rules and procedures for competitive show skiing and organized the first Wisconsin State Show Tournament, held at Wisconsin Rapids.
The tournament announcement sent to clubs was a brief one page. After telling where and when the tournament would be held, the organizers outlined the requirements of the new sport by saying: "When selecting your acts use these facts — The show course is primarily circular with a diameter of 100 yards and average depth of 5 feet. You can gain up to 30 points for your adaptability to the site." With that understood, apparently anything the clubs wanted to do in the tournament was considered fair.
Seven clubs showed up for the first tournament. It was declared a success and has been held every year since with as many as 16 clubs participating.
Seeking even greater recognition for their sport, Wisconsin's show skiers in the early 1970s began talking about a national competition. In 1975, the Rock Aqua Jays water ski club of Janesville, Wis., announced the first Show Ski National Championships to be held in August.
Enthusiasm for the tournament was high as shown by the following excerpt from a news item in the Wisconsin Water Ski Federation newsletter: "Since there has never been a national contest for show skiers before, this tournament will acquaint skiers from Maine to California, from Wisconsin to Florida. The style of Eastern skiers and those of Western skiers may flow together like stream and river to produce an all new style and showmanship".
Nine clubs participated in the first Show Ski National Championships and the winner, Capital City Water Ski Club of Madison, Wis., was invited to perform at the traditional Water Ski National Championships later that month in Tomahawk, Wis.
From its beginnings in the 1920s, show skiing has always had the potential to be one of America's great spectator events because it entertains and involves the audience. Today, show skiing continues to grow in popularity and many water ski clubs include show events in their summer activities.

These photos are from 6 December at the Toronto FUDcon this past weekend.
After a full day of hackfests, folks started heading out for dinner. A few folks still lingered around having hallway discussions, hacking, and Remy DeCausemaker even did interviews of various contributors (look forward to those getting posted soon!):
A group of us came back to the hackfest area at Seneca College after dinner to enjoy the more-reliable-than-the-hotel internet and play life-size Nethack – some of the projects we worked on:
- Diana Martin worked on replacing Ubuntu on her netbook with Fedora 12
- Clint Savage worked on pulsecaster – maybe he can fill in the details but I know he borrowed my USB webcam to test streams for it. 🙂
- Luya Tshimbalanga worked on putting together the Fedora 13 artwork process wiki page to kick things off (please submit your sketches and ideas – now is the time!!!!)
We hopped on the bus to go back to the hotel and chill out in the Hospitality Suite ^W^W hotel hack lounge.
More photos and summaries of the event to come. I'm also going to do a blog post for each of the sessions I gave at the barcamp on the first day. I have videos of both talks thanks to Andrew Overholt and Brad, and there are IRC logs for each session thanks to Matthew Daniels!! I wanted to shout out a big thanks to these folks for helping make the sessions available to folks who weren't able to attend the event in-person. The videos came out great, but the audio is a little low (whoops I forgot to use my external mic 🙁 ) so I will have to run them through gstreamer to try to amp the audio up.

Think back to the worst thing you did in high school. Shoplifting? Busted with a joint? Trespassing, all lit up on Boone's Farm? Now, imagine you pulled your rite-of-passage nogoodnik routine in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in the early 2000s. You get busted, the cops get involved, you get hauled to the courthouse, some county employee presses on you a form waiving your right to an attorney — you sign it, because you're not a criminal, and anyway it's just part of the routine.
The judge, a little man, looms from his bench. "Were you at that assembly where I promised I'd put away kids who broke the law?" he asks.
You were. Everyone was. He gave that same speech at every school in Luzerne County each year.
The judge shuffles some papers, talks for a minute or maybe, in a complex case, 90 seconds, and then you're clapped in shackles, dragged away from your family, sentenced to three or six or nine months in that new hard-ass, for-profit juvenile detention center that — yes, seriously — that judge has a financial stake in.
The fairy-tale fear of a powerful man stealing children is the infuriating heart of Kids for Cash, a compelling and well-reported documentary look at how Luzerne County teenagers wound up serving bona-fide cell time for crimes like slapping a classmate, buying a scooter that turned out to have been stolen, or launching a fake MySpace page lampooning the assistant principal.
Director Robert May gives time to kids and parents who suffered the most outlandish of the incarcerations, and they're persuasive in arguing that the scare-'em-straight sentencing of Judge Mark Ciavarella has not, as the judge insists, made his detainees better people. One boy says that the first time he got high was in lockup; another silver-bullets any debate with this: "You don't put a 12-year-old in there with criminals and expect him to come out saying, 'I'm going to be an outstanding citizen.' He comes out knowing how to make explosives." The most wrenching testimony comes from Sandy Fonzo, the mother of a teenager who fled the state to avoid being sent up on his second minor offense and eventually took his own life. She descends upon Ciavarella on the courthouse steps like a Fury: "Do you remember me?" she screams. "Do you remember my son, an all-star wrestler? He shot himself in the heart, you scumbag!"
After sentencing over 3,000 minors, Ciavarella eventually stood trial himself, for racketeering, tax fraud, and allegedly accepting more than $2 million in kickbacks from the prison-industrial complex. Convicted of some of that, Ciavarella now faces his own hard-ass sentence: 28 years. Before getting slapped into his own shackles, the judge sat down with the filmmakers to defend himself, but only proves contemptible. He always had the good of the children at heart, he claims. He insists he only failed to disclose that he had received millions from the detention center's builder and co-owner because he knew that might give the people the wrong idea. He sent loads of kids up the river before that hellish jail was even built in the first place, he reminds us, so why in the world would anyone ever think he had done something truly worth punishing? And aren't schools better with fewer troublemakers, especially after Columbine?
The documentary is stellar, despite some vague visual-metaphor stuff involving dioramas in an attic. Bring something you can punch, as you will be furious. Question never asked: Why are there for-profit detention centers in the first place?

Building protest in Sudan
When Sudan's Islamists staged their coup against the government of Sadiq al-Mahdi in 1989, they relied on militia formations from their student and youth wings to patrol the streets of the capital, Khartoum, and guard their freshly snatched power from the political establishment. Since then, the government of President Omar Hassan al-Bashir has survived an arc of rebellions in the country's peripheries, a fratricidal split in the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) in 1999, and the breakaway of South Sudan to independence in 2011. The longevity of the regime has baffled both its opponents at home and the experts who follow Sudan's affairs from abroad.
To achieve its breakthrough and maintain its grip on power, the NCP relied on a formula that unites a siege ideology of Arab Muslim identity, with sharia law as its grammar, and oil-greased patronage politics. But the loss of oil rent to the independent South Sudan dealt a considerable blow, precipitating an economic crisis that left the government 'bankrupt', according to the diagnosis of the country's minister of finance.
As the 23rd anniversary of the 1989 'Salvation Revolution' approached this June, the NCP regime found itself battling an amorphous mass of protesters in Khartoum and smaller urban centres, mostly young women and men whose political memory registers no other ruler than President Bashir. Rather startled by the brazen show of defiance, Bashir, distinguished as the only incumbent head of state to be indicted by an international court, christened the protesters against his long spell in power 'outcasts'. Opposition activists embraced the term, just as they plagiarized a jibe attributed to Nafie Ali Nafie, an NCP high priest who once likened attempts at regime overthrow to the impossibility of licking one's own elbow, by turning it into a rallying cry for another day of demonstrations: 'elbow-licking Friday'.
What is usually presented as one wave of anti-regime agitation draws from at least three distinct resources: an urban underclass struggling to eke out a living under adverse economic conditions; students and young professionals frustrated by the patriarchal lid on their political ambitions; and second-generation diaspora Sudanese tweeting for the homeland. Communication between the three constituencies is at best troubled, often requiring the mediation of an interpreter. The government's security apparatus has ridiculed the fluent English-speakers of the third category as online ghosts and sought to contain the second with volleys of teargas, rubber bullets and streamed passage through its detention centres. The first, however, were received with live ammunition.

Ornithologist Discusses Causes Of Bird Downings
They're just everywhere. That's how a wildlife manager describes the mass casualties of Eared Grebes that crash landed in southern Utah on Monday night. Some 1,500 grebes died, another 3,000 have been rescued. The small water birds were migrating and apparently mistook a Walmart parking lot, highways and football fields covered with snow for bodies of water.
To find out how common this sort of mass bird downing is, I'm joined by ornithologist Kevin McGowan. He's at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York. Kevin McGowan, welcome to the program.
DR. KEVIN MCGOWAN: Thanks for having me.
BLOCK: Have you heard about this same kind of migratory confusion happening on a big scale like this before?
MCGOWAN: Yes, it does happen. Well, I won't say regularly, but certainly not frequently. But, yes, it does. Unfortunately, it happens on a small scale all the time. But when you get a big group of birds coming down into a place like this, that's a bit unusual but not unheard of.
BLOCK: And explain how that would happen. Why would a Walmart parking lot to be confused for a body of water?
MCGOWAN: Well, these guys are flying at night. So, they are up in the air and are usually trying to figure out which way is up, by the fact that the sky is lighter than the ground. It sounds like there was bad weather that they ran into and were trying to get down out of the air.
Then they look down and they see this wide-open, dark area that looks like it's got - it's shiny, it is reflecting the sky. Hey, that's got to be a lake. And that's exactly what they're looking for. So they went down to land in a nice glide at 40 miles an hour and expecting the waters to part in front of them and it was asphalt. That's not so good if you're a grebe.
BLOCK: You know, it's interesting because I think we assume that birds have such incredibly honed navigation skills and migration skills that something like this just really make you wonder what's gone wrong.
MCGOWAN: Well, it does. There's been a lot of natural selection to try to get their skills honed, as you say, to the point of perfection. But there's only so much perfection you can do in the natural world.
And, of course, we've thrown things into there, as people. For example, the basic idea of the sky will always be lighter than the ground. Therefore, light is up. That's great, except when you're flying over a city and it's all much lighter down on the ground. Then that doesn't work so well. And that's why moths beat themselves to death on lights and fly into candle flames and things like that. Their directional system worked for millions of years and now it doesn't because they're suddenly faced with a new situation that's quite outside the scope of their navigation system.
BLOCK: Kevin McGowan, are there lessons that you take away from this, anything that could be done to prevent something like this from happening again?
MCGOWAN: Well, we do try to look at these sorts of situations. This is rare. But, you know, if you're interested in birds and the natural world and what's going on, people do look and see. Is this something preventable? Did they - can we just shut the lights off on the parking lot? Would that have done it?
And when things happen often enough, people do take action. And there have been people who are trying to get big cities to turn off the lights in skyscrapers during peak bird migration because of exactly this kind of thing. So, there are big programs that people are out there trying to make some changes so that we don't kill a lot of birds.
And nobody wants to kill a lot of birds. That's the thing. It's like, if you know what's going on, then you'll change it. And that's why we pay attention to these sorts of things because we want to know. Are we doing something wrong or is this just a freak accident?
BLOCK: Well, I guess the good news is that a lot of these grebes were rescued and were taken to lakes nearby so that they could take off and get on their way.
MCGOWAN: Well, it was good there were so many people around who were willing to take a hand and help. These guys can't walk. They're like - well, you know, penguins - they don't walk so well. These guys don't even walk as well as penguins on the ground, so they needed some help to actually get going. And it's good that there was a good community there that could help them out.
BLOCK: I've been talking with Kevin McGowan, he's with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, about the mass bird downing in Utah this week that left some 1,500 eared grebes dead. Kevin McGowan, thank you.
MCGOWAN: You're most welcome.

Eagles fiddle with offensive line reserves too
The Eagles are reportedly moving King Dunlap back into the starting lineup at left tackle this week.
Should that come to pass, it won't be the only change on the offensive line in Philadelphia. The team announced Tuesday that they have signed guard/center Matt Tennant and released Steve Vallos, who was filling a backup role on the interior of the offensive line this season.
Tennant was a fifth-round pick by the Saints in the 2010 draft and spent the last two years in New Orleans before getting cut at the end of the preseason. He landed with the Patriots, but has not seen any game action with the team this year. Vallos started eight games with the Seahawks in 2008 and 2009, but he's strictly been a backup in the last three seasons. He was cut by Philly this summer, but resurfaced after the season-ending injury to original starting center Jason Kelce.
Dallas Reynolds hasn't blown anyone away with his work in Kelce's place, so Tennant could wind up getting a chance if the Eagles decide on further shuffling of the line down the road.

One of India's greatest actors Thilakan passed away into the ages on September 24. He was 77.
We reproduce here, an in-depth Rediff interview with the legend, published in January 2008. Don't miss it!
Rated highly by critics and common man alike, Thilakan's role in Malayalam cinema will glow forever.
Ironically, like in the film, some 'powerful winds' in Malayalam cinema are trying to snuff out the flame. In what the 72-year-old actor calls an orchestrated attack by the reigning superstars in Malayalam -- apparently Mohanlal and Mammootty -- to tarnish his image and career. But Thilakan claims he will not cow down to any threat.
He also tells Rediff.com how he lost the National Award in 1990 to Amitabh Bachchan due to political interference. Over to the Thespian:
You have virtually been isolated in the Malayalam film industry. Whom do you blame?
The so-called superstars. They have tried their best to keep me away from films. Joining them were some up-and-coming stars as well. They have tried everything in the book: mental disintegration, verbal assaults, and character assassination. I have kept quiet for so long, but there was a limit which no one should cross.
But they are superstars. And you -- despite being a top actor -- should not be a threat to their superstardom.
The superstars are highly insecure. They don't even like others matching up to their level, leave alone outperforming them. They will not -- and they can't -- take the slightest competition. I have outperformed them in many films, which obviously has not gone down well with them. If someone outperforms them, it is an open challenge to their stardom. People and media praised my performance in their films. It might have been difficult for them to digest. They tried to push me around on screen. Once that failed, they tried it off the screen as well.
When did you start feeling that you are being pushed into a corner? And why then the seemingly late outburst?
I would say it started in 1986. But it was never vicious. I kept quiet for a long time. Then came a stage when it was unbearable. They even told producers and directors not to cast them in their films. A caste lobby played a big role too. Then I lost my patience. That is how I decided to open up.
What lobby? As you told some Malayalam publications, are you pointing fingers at the Nair lobby?
Yes. There is a strong Nair lobby in Malayalam film industry. I don't want to elaborate.
How did they react to your outbursts?
They did not say anything; they did everything cleverly. I was sidelined from the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA). They started floating rumours about my health. They told producers that I would die anytime. Such news would worry any producer.
I was hosting a successful show on Surya TV. I have solid information that it was stopped due to 'outside pressure.' They hindered my acting career. They have not even informed me about 20-20, a film being produced by AMMA, which has all actors from the industry.
It must have been a tumultuous time for you. Your health has also started sinking. Where did you find solace?
From the audience. Every month I get so many invitations for public meetings. Besides, people tell me that I -- my roles -- live forever in their minds. That was gratifying despite the muddle around. Many told me that I am a better actor than the superstars. That was touching and inspirational.
So, no one from the industry called to offer support?
No. Not even a soul despite having so many friends in the industry. That shows how much power the stars wield.
You even went to the extend of saying that you won't act with Mammooty and Mohanlal?
I have never said that. What I said was that I am not keen on acting with superstars.
Are Mammooty and Mohanlal not superstars?
I would like to call them actors, not superstars or any other adjectives. I have high regard for Mohanlal. He is a brilliant, natural, flexible actor. The problem with Mohanlal is the company he keeps. And Mammooty is a 'made actor'. Jagathy, another Malayalam actor, was the first to describe Mammooty like that. When someone asked about Jagathy's comment, I nodded in agreement. That became a controversy. But I stand by it.
So you are saying Mammooty is not a great actor.
I don't have anything personal against Mammooty. For instance, (director) Sibi Malayil and (screenplay writer) Lohitadas called me and asked to recommend a hero (a school teacher accused of being mentally ill) in Thaniyavarthanam. After reading the script, I said only Mammooty could do it. Then they asked me what if it was Mohanlal. My reply was, 'If you are looking for a teacher, cast Mammooty. And if you are looking for a student, cast Mohanlal.' That sealed their mind. Do you still think I am biased? That was one of Mammooty's best roles.
After years, you have recently shot with Mammooty in Hariharan-M T Vasudevan Nair film, Pazhassi Raja. How did the shooting go?
It went off well though there were some skirmishes. Mammooty asked me 'rather emotionally' that he heard that Thilakan would not act with superstars. I clarified that I never said that. But some people tried to influence the producer, saying that I would die anytime.
Talking about M T Vasudevan Nair, you share a great rapport with him. He gave you some of your best roles.
Yes, he is a master storyteller. We are good friends. I had the fortune of having depicted so many of his master roles, like, Perumthachan, Panchagni, Nakhashatangal, Parinayam, Sadayam and Kadavu.
Though I had a very small role -- only six-seven scenes -- in Hariharan's Panchagni, it was a magnificent one. (Thilakan played a retired journalist in Panchagni). MT narrated that role to me for eight hours -- for six-seven scenes! In the beginning, I did not get the spark. But later, when MT mentioned a particular catchphrase, I got the essence. It was one of the roles I enjoyed the most. I also love working with Fazil, Sathyan Anthikkadu and Hariharan.
The MT magic and your expertise lifted Perumthachan to another level.
Yes. It was a great script. I would even say the film is not as good as the script. So picturesque is MT's description that the film pales in comparison. It is a must-read for book-lovers.
You almost won the National Award in 1990 for Perumthachan before Amitabh Bachchan walked away with it at the last minute for Agneepath.
Of course, Perumthachan was very special. Yes, I was tipped to win the award. It is a long story how I lost out at the last minute. It was almost decided the award would come my way.
Even Ashok Kumar, the jury chairman, was keen on giving me the award.
Others in the know told me that a top Congress politician, who was planning a comeback of sorts in power, wanted the award to be given to Bachchan to woo him to the Congress. He wanted Bachchan to woo the voters, and so wanted to keep Bachchan happy by conferring a National Award on him. Apparently, the top leader called up the jury and asked who the leading contender for the award was. When they said it was an actor from the South, he promptly told the jury head to award 'that fellow from the South next year.' The award went to Bachchan.
Quizzed by a Gulf daily why I was not given the award, Ashok Kumar said that 'it was a secret which can't be revealed.' I still have that newspaper with me. They also sought my reaction to the news. And that night, I lost my sleep, and confidence in awards.
Now apparently, the heat is on Prithviraj, who is on the cusp of superstardom.
Yes, they are all after him. Three years ago, I said Prithviraj is good, and has the potential to become a great actor. Many think he is a threat to the stars. The moment Prithviraj appears on screen, a group of people, funded by stars, starts booing him. Even the dialogues can't be heard. They are trying to nip him in the bud. He has already done well in Tamil cinema from where we can learn a lot. So many new actors are coming up every day in Tamil. That should be the way.
Despite the isolation, you have a handful of movies.
Yes. There are some interesting projects coming up. Next month, I will fly to Canada, where a newcomer's project will take off. And some other projects as well.

The Pocket Monsters anime originally used Japanese writing for on-screen text and signs. A pain in the ass if you need to localize the cartoon into other languages. So the Pokémon folks came up with a solution: a made-up language. A Pokélingo, if you will.
Starting with anime series Pocket Monster Best Wishes!, the anime series began using a made up language that actually means something. So this sign from Best Wishes! episode #49:
Actually isn't just gibberish! It reads "Pokémon". Can't you see it? This is the language used in the Pokémon region of Unova, making it Unovan. Website PocketMonsters.net has an extremely helpful dictionary for deciphering the symbols, which directly correlate to English letters:
This is the main language used in the Pokémon anime; however, there's also a second and a third language. You can see their deciphered symbols on PocketMonsters.net.
PocketMonsters.net updated its dictionary early last January. Deciphering work began in 2011, with those involved on the project posting on the Serebii forums.
This week, another group—students from University of Kyoto's "Pokémon Club"—are saying how they've independently cracked the anime lingo, posting examples of how they've translated the Pokéspeak.
While this notebook is written in Unovan, the sentences are in English. The University of Kyoto students note that there are some mistakes. In one instance, "you" is written as "u", and "wha" is written instead of "what".
What's interesting about the deciphering done by the University of Kyoto students is how sometimes Unovan can be deciphered to reveal not just English words. For example, in this image, each Pocket Monster has its original Japanese name listed, with short descriptions in rough Latin script, like what's used to write Japanese (romaji).
So next to Deino (née Monozu in Japanese), it reads, "Mitame ha tyotto kimoi ne", which would be 見た目はちょっとキモいね in Japanese and means "Its appearance is somewhat creepy".
Pokémon people have created a language that people can decipher and read. Since the anime is then dubbed for different regions, that would mean Unovan isn't necessarily English, and it's not necessarily Japanese—which is proved by the written language having both in it. This means that spoken Unovan could then have its own pronunciation. So somebody create a pronunciation guide so people can congregate in public and speak Pokélingo. Cuter than speaking Klingon!

1986 Chevrolet Corvette - Cool Blue
Kevin Ivey Transformed this '86 from a Senior's Stocker to "1BAD8T6"
Related Video
Everyone dreams of owning that car "driven by a little old lady to church on Sundays." Kevin Ivey actually has it. Whether it looks it or not, Kevin's Corvette was totally stock when he first purchased it from an elderly woman who owned a breakfast restaurant near his home in Holly Hill, Florida. She drove it to work and, unknowingly, taunted Kevin when he saw the car sitting in front of her business. He knew that someday it would be his and, in March 1993, the object of his desires became a reality.
Kevin had special plans for this Corvette. He immediately started the transformation and still drove the car daily. The engine was rebuilt and the cylinders bored 0.030-inch oversize at 54,000 ticks of the odometer. Kevin wanted to add a Greenwood body package and paint the car DuPont Bright Blue Pearl Metallic instead of the original Medium Grey Metallic.
And since he was modifying the car, Kevin decided to turn up the mods another notch by removing the door handles and painting the halo over the passenger compartment black to blend in better with the tinted windows. Kevin's Corvette now has electronic AutoLoc actuators to open the doors remotely. Once all of the body panels were installed and the door handles shaved, Kevin and friend Doug Sparks took the car from Kevin's garage to Classic Auto Body where the new color was applied. Up until the actual paint squirting, all of the work was done in Kevin's two-car garage, with Kevin building a solid workshop of tools to get the project finished.
When it came to personalizing his Corvette, Kevin wanted to make sure there wasn't another one like it, inside or out. For the inside, he wanted to go with the high-tech, electronics look. That included upgrading from the factory stereo with a Pioneer DEH-55 DH receiver, an SDV-P7 DVD player, and an 8-inch-wide screen LCD color display. The system pumps the sound through a duo of amplifiers, a GMX-904 (400 watts) and a GMX-802 (200 watts) feeding the four Pioneer, TS-A6966, 6x9-inch, three-way speakers and two Pioneer TS-W1240, 12-inch subwoofers.
To feed power to this powerhouse of sound, Kevin's car utilizes two Optima batteries. Other interior modifications include black leather seats with bow ties embossed in the seat headrests, a bow-tie-embossed armrest, as well as a deluxe rosewood wood-grain dash kit.
For the exterior, Kevin painted the brake calipers to match the car's paint and wrapped them with 17x9.5-inch Billet Specialties GTX-07 rims wearing 275/40ZR17 Michelin Pilot Sports radials.
To prove that Kevin's Corvette isn't all show and no go, he's modified the MAF, added a high-volume fuel pump with an adjustable fuel-pressure regulator, an Edelbrock big-base intake manifold with high-flow runners, feeding on air from an Edelbrock 58mm throttle body. To increase the amount of fuel available, he installed ACCEL 24-lb/hr injectors. Making sure he gets all the power possible by burning all the available fuel is the responsibility of the MSD 6AL ignition and Bosch Platinum Plus-4 plugs.
Kevin took the electro-mechanical approach to changing the characteristics of the engine. He installed a custom PROM to control the fuel and installed a Crane CompuCam to take care of the valves, ensuring that the best air/fuel ratio for optimum power is obtained. So spent gasses could exit as easily, Kevin used a Flowmaster exhaust with a 3.5-inch Y-pipe.
While Kevin already knew what he wanted to do and had a place to do it, there were a few things he didn't feel he could tackle by himself, like the paint and rebuilding the 700-R4 transmission. Classic Auto Body took care of the paint as previously mentioned, and The Corvette Clinic brought the transmission back to working order, upgrading it with heavy-duty internals. Kevin has invested a lot of money in his Corvette; but, above all that, he has a major time commitment into personalizing his ride. He'll admit that there were "a lot of late nights" getting the car to this point, but if you ask him Kevin will be quick to respond that it was all worth it. That is evidenced by the fact that Kevin admits he will be keeping this one for a long, long time. And who can blame him?

The red band trailer for HATCHET III showed up today and it's looking good. I've always been a little cold towards the first two HATCHET films, I mean, they're OK but never really got me fired up but this trailer for number three, well they've got my interest.
A press release accompanied the trailer, here are the highlights:
HATCHET III is set to open in New York City's Cinema Village and in Los Angeles at Laemmle Music Hall on June 14th. New cities have just been added – fans in Denver and Columbus will also be able to catch the film in theaters on June 14th. The film will also premiere on VOD and digital download on the same date. Opening week will feature special appearances by cast and crew, followed by Q&A's at each location.
Danielle Harris and Kane Hodder return in HATCHET III and are joined by Zach Galligan (Gremlins), Derek Mears (Friday the 13th 2009), Caroline Williams (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs) and others.
HATCHET III continues the tale of the now-iconic villain Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder). As a search and recovery team heads into the haunted swamp to pick up the pieces and carnage left behind from the first two films, Marybeth (Danielle Harris) hunts down the true secret to ending the voodoo curse that has left the ghost of Victor Crowley haunting and terrorizing Honey Island Swamp for decades.
The sequel, which was filmed outside of New Orleans, Louisiana from late May to mid- June, 2012, is a co-production of MPI/Dark Sky Films and Green's Los Angeles-based ArieScope Pictures.
Here's the trailer:

1. Why has the literary canon consisted mainly of male writers (and here we should qualify, "of white, middle-class and upper middle-class male writers")?
2. What have been the standards by which the works of women (along with non-white males and the economically-disenfranchised) have been judged? Who created these standards and how are they biassed in favor of men?
3. Can women, or minorities, or working-class writers be comfortably added to the canon? Does the conception of a literary canon change as such writers are introduced?
4. Does the existence of a literary canon serve any useful purpose? Does it serve the interests of women or other marginalized groups of people (minorities and homosexuals, for example?)?
5. To what extent does the notion of a literary canon create marginalization?
6. Is it inevitable that there be a literary canon, or does the attempt to canonize some writers and exclude others serve an often unacknowledged political purpose?
As attempts to address the problem of the canon, a number of approaches have been suggested and enacted by feminists.
The Literary Canon
- Introduction
- Definitions
- Feminist Responses
- Abandoning the Canon
- Adding Women to Canon
- The Victorian Women Writers Project
- A Female Canon
- Alternative Readings

Medical marijuana patients in Nevada would have a legal way to buy the drug under a bill introduced Monday by Democratic state Sen. Tick Segerblom.
SB374 authorizes the operation of nonprofit medical marijuana dispensaries and sets out requirements on how they should be managed.
Nevadans authorized medical marijuana in 2000. Legislators then approved a law allowing medical marijuana patients to grow their own plants, but critics argue there is no legal way for them to acquire it.
Segerblom on Friday will take members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to Phoenix, where they will visit a dispensary and look into how medical marijuana laws work in Arizona.
Another bill introduced in the Assembly would exempt medical marijuana patients from prosecution for having marijuana metabolite in his or her blood or urine.
