Ron Guth: The 1943/2 Nickel is the only Overdate in the entire Jefferson series, making it an extremely popular and desirable variety. According to Breen, this variety was discovered in 1948 but not confirmed until 1977, when Delma K. Romines found an Uncirculated example (the extra detail helped confirm that this was a true overdate versus a coin with a die flaw). Since then, upwards of 1,000 examples have been discovered, and more are being found as original rolls are examined and broken up. PCGS alone has certified over 500 examples (as of February 2012), most in Mint State. Approximately 20% of the pieces certified by PCGS earned the Full Steps designation. Prices continue to remain strong thanks to collector demand.
The finest 1943/2 Nickels certified by PCGS include three MS-67 non-Full Steps and two MS-67 Full Steps. The price record for this Overdate was a whopping $16,675 set in June 2008, when Heritage sold a PCGS MS67FS from the Compradore Collection.

Helping Patients Sleep Better: California Poppy
By James P. Meschino, DC, MS
In recent years, researchers have discovered a proven, natural alternative to narcotic and other analgesic drugs for relief of night pain and night pain-associated insomnia. Individuals with acute or chronic pain know that pain is intensified during the night.In turn, this produces sleep deprivation, which further slows the healing process, produces ongoing fatigue and can lead to despondency, personality changes, and even depression. In recent years governments around the world have recognized the safe and effective pain-killing effects of the isoquinoline alkaloids from Eschscholzia californica. This herb has beenshown to reduce night pain and induce sleep in patients with night pain without producing euphoria, addiction potential, physical dependency or serious side effects of any kind.
Pain and the Aging Population
Chronic pain, which is reported to affect approximately 110 million Americans, is defined as three consecutive months of a painful condition.1 Chronic pain surveys in Canada suggest that 11 percent of individuals who are under 60 years of age, and 25-40 percent of those over 60 years, suffer from chronic pain. Across most Western developed countries approximately 14-17 percent of adults report having chronic pain.
The most common conditions associated with chronic pain include arthritis / rheumatism; fibromyalgia; migraine headache; and low back pain. Evidence suggests that a multidisciplinary approach yields the best results in chronic pain management, whereas the method yielding the worst results for the patient, the health care system and society entails reliance on prescriptionnarcotic drugs.2
Over the years medical doctors have prescribed and recommended many analgesic drugs such as acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and in more severe cases, narcotic drugs, as primary and sometimes exclusive methods of treatment in the management of chronic and acute muscle, joint and arthritic conditions. In recent years, documented evidence has shown that the frequent use of these medications for pain control has led to many serious unforeseen complications.
Health Complications from Standard Analgesic Drugs
Frequent use of acetaminophen has been shown to be a leading cause of liver failure, and acetaminophen ingestion is the leading cause of drug-induced liver failure, accounting for 50 percent of all acute liver failure cases in the U.S., half of which are unintentional (not suicide driven).3 Chronic intake of the recommended dosage of acetaminophen (up to 4 grams per day, with no single dose to exceed 1 gm) is responsible for most cases of acetaminophen-induced liver failure.4
Chronic use of acetaminophen has also been shown to damage the kidneys (e.g., tubular necrosis), and can lead to analgesic nephropathy with need for dialysis. On a biochemical level, acetaminophen damages the liver and kidney via free-radical assault, induced by its phase I detoxification to NAPQI (N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone-imine) with concomitant depletion of cellular glutathione (which normally quenches NAPQI, stabilizing it and facilitating its safe removal from the body).5
Heavy reliance on NSAIDs for chronic pain control has also yielded devastating health consequences. Recent studies confirm that in addition to gastrointestinal erosion, ulceration and bleeding, chronic NSAID use also increases the risk of kidney damage, liver damage, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure and sudden cardiovascular death. Aspirin has long been associated with gastrointestinal damage and associated internal bleeding, but other NSAIDs are largely responsible for increased risk of cardiovascular death. This appears to be related to the promotion of thrombosis, associated with many NSAIDs from ibuprofen to diclofenac (Voltaren ) to COX-2 inhibitors (e.g., Celebrex, Vioxx)
As such, doctors have been instructed not to recommend any NSAIDs, other than aspirin, for patients at high risk for heart disease. These recommendations also extend to precluding the recommendation of all NSAIDs for patients with any compromised kidney function.6 Low-dose aspirin, although recommended as a blood thinner for those who have suffered a previous heart attack, is no longer recommended to prevent first heart attack (primary prevention) due to the increasing reports of intestinal bleeds and bleeding into the brain, seen in patients prescribed low-dose aspirin (75-81 mg) for this purpose.7
Narcotic Drugs – Rising Concerns About Addiction and Wasted Lives
Since the early 1990s governments have allowed doctors to prescribe narcotic drugs (e.g., oxycodone) for patients presenting with a wide variety of musculoskeletal pain conditions. Prior to this, narcotic drugs were only prescribed for patients with intractable pain, primarily due to terminal cancers (e.g., morphine drip). As such, physicians commonly use narcotics to reduce a patient's post-operative pain or to reduce anxiety and induce anesthesia prior to an operation. These drugs are also commonly prescribed in an attempt to enable individuals with chronic pain to lead productive lives.8
The problem is that many people who are prescribed and taking opioids for a period of time develop a physical dependence on the drug which can lead to abuse of the painkiller. Studies now show that 2.5 million Americans, of the 4.7 million who begin to abuse prescription drugs in any given year, use pain pills. Thus, more than 50 percent of all drug abuse cases involve analgesic drugs, and very often narcotics.9
Recognizing the potential for opioid abuse, addiction, diversion and related mortality, many jurisdictions have developed guidelines or implemented programs to promote more judicious use of these drugs. Across the board, medical doctors are being instructed to cut back on their prescription writing for narcotic drugs, and systems are being put in place to track and integrate pharmacy dispensing of these drugs using electronic recording and monitoring systems.10
A Safe Herbal Alternative
Recent studies have shown that the medicinal ingredients in the herb Eschscholzia californica block nighttime pain, allowing the patient to sleep through the night without being awakened by musculoskeletal pain. The herb also helps to induce sleep, enabling patients who are in pain to fall asleep and experience a restful sleep through the night. This, in turn, allows more rapid healing and improved response to other treatments.
As such, the administration of the right dosage and standardized grade of this herb, one hour before bedtime, addresses this important part of patient management, and should be strongly considered during the intensive treatment phase of these conditions, and in the long-term of management of chronic pain.11
The active ingredients in Eschscholzia californica are isoquinoline alkaloids (e.g. californidine, escholtzine and protopine). These isoquinoline alkaloids bind to opioid and serotonin receptors, relieving pain without producing euphoria or having addiction potential. Stimulation of opioid receptors blocks pain sensation in the brain and blocks pain conduction in the spinal cord from reaching higher brain centers. Activation of serotonin receptors is also known to block the sensation of pain and induce sleep.12
Unlike narcotic drugs (e.g., Percocet, Oxydone) and benzodiazepine drugs (e.g., Valium, Ativan) often used to help patients in pain sleep through the night, supplements containingEschscholzia californica do not cause addiction or destroy a person's motivation to return to a productive life. The active constituents in this herb do not cause euphoria or feeling of being "stoned," which allows individuals to function normally and better comply with treatment recommendations, including exercise.13
Precautionary Notes
Patients should not take this herb if they are taking an evening or nighttime dose of a narcotic drug (e.g., Percodan, Oxycontin), anti-anxiety drug and/or a sleep-inducing drug (e.g., Valium, Sonata, Ambien). Patients taking narcotic or benzodiazepine drugs who wish to wean themselves off of these drugs by usingEschscholzia californica as a replacement for chronic pain management, must do so under the supervision and monitoring of their attending physician. Narcotic and benzodiazepine drugs are highly addictive; thus, each case requires individualized evaluation and attention.14
Additionally, when choosing a supplement containingEschscholzia californica, it is important to use a government-approved product that contains the therapeutic dosage and standardized grade of isoquinoline alkaloids shown to be effective in clinical studies, and meets quality assurance and safety regulations.

How To Fall
You have to fall different for different tricks so we'll go through them all. If you are crashing on a wake-to-wake trick, you have to make a lot noise and scream right before you fall. No, it's true. It lets all the air out of your gut before you fall so you don't get the wind knocked out of you. If you are going to crash on a rail, don't let go of the handle. It will pull you off the rail and you can land happily in the pool below.
One rule that's for any crash behind a boat or a ski is this. Don't be in a rush to get back above water. The wake will smash you in the face if you come up to soon. I like to come up slow because if you do that the wakeskate won't hit you in the face either. If you have a face like mine you want to keep it beautiful.
Fetal position is always good for all crashes in general. The more bent your knees are the less chances you have of blowing them out. When you land straight legged you really have a chance of messing things up. But if you can't avoid it and you are going land straight legged or if you are going to step off the back of your wakeskate, make sure to let go of the handle. You'll still do the splits, but this way you'll save your knees. You may pull your groin but it's better than somebody else pulling it, right?
There are a few general crashing styles. You can crash like George. He has the best crashing technique out of everyone. He jumps off his board when he knows he is going to crash and does sweet tuck and roll dive techniques. Or you can "not crash" like Nick and Reed. Laybacks, although very entertaining and good, can be strenuous on the rotator cuff in your shoulders. Basically laybacks are only good for contests and photo shoots.
Hopefully this helps you out, because I was just kidding about never falling myself. In fact, I think crashing is good for our sport. It's the most gnarly thing we have. If we didn't crash it would just be a bunch of water ballet.

Dice Wars is a unique new turn-based strategy game from Powerise Interactive. Using nothing but dice and a randomly generated territory map made of hexagons, the game is similar in gameplay to that of the board game, Risk, though much simpler and quicker to play. The objective is to conquer all territories and eliminate all your opponents by attacking them with dice.
Support Single and Multi-Player games. The single-player game may be played with up to five (5) computer opponents, selectable at the game's main menu. Simply choose a number and let the game begin. The Multi-Player modes support play against your friends on same machine.
Each turn you may attack any opponent's territory from one of your adjacent territories as long as your territory has more than one (1) die on it; and you may attack as many territories as you wish. Your turn ends when you click the "End Turn" button.
The rules of combat between two adjacent territories are simple: all dice on the attacking territory are thrown and the total number of pips are added and compared against the total of throwing all dice from the defending territory. If the attacker's total is greater than the defender's, all attacking dice (minus one) move onto the defender's territory thus capturing it, and the defender dice for that territory are all removed. If the defender's total is greater than or equal to the attacker's total, the attacker loses all but one die for that territory.
No movement of dice is allowed between territories other than by attacking as noted above. At the conclusion of each turn, the greatest number of adjoining territories you have is calculated, and you are awarded a bonus of that number of dice. They are then automatically and randomly placed throughout all of your territories, up to a maximum of eight (8) dice on a single territory.
Good Luck.

Derivative with Firefox and current Adobe Flash installed
I am seeking a Puppy derivative that has the current version of Adobe Flash already installed. I would also prefer Firefox as my browser, but that is not required.
It needs to be already installed because I have a PC that does not boot from a flash drive, which means I have to burn an ISO to a CD.
I just downloaded, burned the LighthousePup v5.03-G Mariner ISO because the documentation lead me to believe that it had the current version of Adobe Flash. When used at Hulu.com, I got an error stating that I needed at least v10.1.53.64 of Adobe Flash installed.
Can anyone direct me to an ISO that already has this installed?

I assume that you are new to Linux, or at the very least new to Puppy, and this can be confusing. I was new to the entire Linux scene nine years ago, and I still remember how frustrating it all was.
First of all, I find that you make some assumptions which will hold you back in using Linux in general and Puppy in particular, for example, that you need the Adobe flash plugin pre-installed, which has led you, perhaps, to the second assumption, that you now need a derivative and not an official Puppy release. I can see myself following this same logic nine years ago, or even eight years ago. You are not alone, so please don't take it I am talking down to you; indeed, I am trying to give some friendly advice.
It is not usual for either official releases or derivatives of Puppy to contain the flash player by default. Instead we download the flashplayer from the package manager after installation. This is also true of running Puppy from a live CD in either multisession, which is using the CD itself for additional persistent storage, or using a file on the hard drive to save personal settings and downloads. (Using the CD without persistence would require you to download Adobe flashplayer every time you boot up, since there would be no way to save it.)
So, now we need to find this legendary package manager (aka PPM) in order to find the flashplayer you need. There are two or three ways to do this in Puppy, and I think there are even three or four in Lighthouse. One thing that is common to both, though, is that the Puppy Package Manager can be found under "SETUP" in the main menu. So let's find that.
Now, click on the Puppy PM and look at the categories. Adobe Flash is nearly always found under 'Internet,' so see if there is not a version equal to or exceeding the version you want, (10.1.53.64), and then chose it. From the popup, choose install. Now, you will be given a choice of repos, that is, the repositories where the files are stored on the Internet. Ibiblio is nearly always the safe choice, although my personal preference is always NLUUG, because the Dutch have never let me down, and they are faster.
Then wait for your download and you will then receive a prompt saying, "So you wanna install this flash thingy, eh?" and then you choose "Yessir, I do" and it will find its way into your Firefox and then you're off.
If, for some reason, you don't have Firefox, you can use the same process to install it. Which leads me to my next point which I will take up in my next post.

Yes, i am a newbie to both linux and puppy, so I appreciate your tolerance and patience with me.
The specs for my PC are the following
Intel P4 1.8GHz
2G memory
No hard drive
1 CD drive
2 usb ports
No usb boot option
I am wanting to have a CD that I can take with me to any machine and be able to boot up and use the browser immediately, not have to download the Adobe Flash update each and every time. I understand persistent storage, and I also understand that I could put it to a flash drive, but once again, that is not what I was asking for.
I simply want to know if there is a derivative that ALREADY has the current version of Flash installed.

OK, longlostname, cool: now we see the essence of your need. I am also happy we have some others who now are participating, because it's always good in my opinion to have a variety of ...well, of opinions.
One option which comes to my mind now is to burn a multisession CD if the one you have is not already one. I would choose a smaller image than Lighthouse, perhaps Wary 5.3, which is the official Pup for older hardware, then burn that image onto a new CD using Pburn and leaving it open for future burning.
ONE VERY COOL THING about Puppy is that after boot-up, the entire system is in RAM so you can take out the CD you booted from and still use the burner/optical drive live. You can use this feature to create your new CD.
Then, after burning, boot up your new disk, find a Firefox to download, add your Flash and you should be able to save it to CD. This is accomplished upon reboot, where you will be given save to CD as an option.
I have been able to use the same multisession CD on several different computers in this way, with the only hang-up being having to change the X- setup when switching to a laptop, because the screen was so very different.
I have only had a multisession CD fail me once after creation, and then I determined that the only thing wrong was the CD itself...about one out of 10 in that package were bad. Oh, well.
Now someone should come along and either say I missed a detail, or give you another option. Perhaps someone remembers a Puppy/Pupplet that I lost in the mists of Glennfyddich which has Adobe flash already installed.
Hope this helps.

!. Why not boot with your CD?
2. Download and install Flash and Firefox.
3. Then do a remaster of the CD with everything installed.
4. That is the Greatest of Puppy.
When you boot the system from your CD Puppy loads to ram.
So after you update what you want from the PPM are go to
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/ and
look in the pet_packages_Lucid.
Search for remaster program and run it and follow the instructions.
You should have what you need.

Subject description: My Puppy
The first and best thing about Puppy is you get to make your own Puppy. That is the reason I told you about the Remaster Puppy Live-CD
program. Which ever release of the Puppy you want to use, you can turn it into MY PUPPY by remastering the live boot-up.
Adobe Flash is updated almost weekly so to build one with already installed might not be the best idea because it it could have a very bad bug in it.
Go with one of the newer Puppy releases with the Remove Builtin Packages program so you can learn to pick and play with the many free programs that is out there to use with Puppy.

And so it goes. I am doubtful if our friend, longlostname will ever come back this way, but if he/she does, there is the answer. Maybe it will help someone else.
These generations which have come up now expect things to be handed to them without earning them. They do not know the difference between 'gift' and 'entitlement.'
I was doing more hand-holding than I usually do, just because I thought this time would be different. HA! Shame on me.
But I remember the words of a famous Zen master, so famous that I have forgotten his name, (which I'm sure he would have liked) "
Just because the message may not be received does not mean it is not worth sending."

És ez így megy. Én kétséges, ha a barátunk, longlostname valaha is visszatér ilyen módon, de ha / csinál, ott van a válasz. Talán ez segít valakinek.
Ezek a generációk, amelyek azért jöttek fel most várják a dolgokat át kell adni őket anélkül kereső őket. Nem tudják megkülönböztetni a "ajándék" és a "jogosultság".
Csinálok több kézre, mint máskor, csak azért, mert azt gondoltam, ez alkalommal más lesz. HA! Szégyen rám.
De emlékszem a szavak egy híres Zen mester, olyan híres, hogy elfelejtettem a nevét, (ami biztos vagyok benne, hogy szerette volna): "Csak azért, mert az üzenet nem fogadhatók nem jelenti azt, hogy nem érdemes adást."

Kind of an unfortunate exchange. The OP wants something that can't really exist. As soon as a developer compiles his release with the 'current' version of Flash, it's only a matter of time before Adobe releases an update, and the compiled version he installed with his derivative becomes a 'recent' version rather than the current one. This can happen in a day.
There was some good advice for options given here that would have worked with very little effort:
1. multi-session cd with save-file.
2. re-master one's own Puppy cd with desired software installed.
3. cd-boot/usb storage combo
4. bootable usb drive (this can be done without a bios setting).
The OP could have achieved his desires with any of these options on his older machine without a HDD. Unfortunately he wants what he wants, even though no platform simply 'comes' with the latest Flash pre-installed... not Linux, Mac, Windows, BSD, or even Solaris. Some may come with 'a recent version' and the system self-updates on installation, but one's Puppy browser may be set to self-update as well. One of my rigs has a recent version of FF Aurora that persistently alerts me to update my Flash, Java, and all the rest of my plug-ins as soon as it detects an update that is available.
A philosophical conclusion:
There's what we want things to be...
And there's how things really are.

Radicalism vs. reconciliation after the vote
Venezuela's left-wing President Hugo Chávez won election to a fourth term on October 7 with a comfortable victory over the candidate of the country's business establishment--Henrique Capriles Radonski, the leader of the Justice First party who ran for president for a coalition of right-wing parties known as the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD).
As Chávez and his United Socialist Party of Venezuela take office, what direction will the country take in the next six years? In this article originally published at the aporrea.org website, analyzes the results of the election and looks at the challenges ahead for socialists in Venezuela.
HUGO CHÁVEZ, the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, has won his 14th electoral victory out of 15 contests in a period of 14 years. On October 7, he won a solid 55 percent of the vote (8,136,964, according to the official count), defeating millionaire businessman Henrique Capriles Radonski, who got 44 percent (6,499,575 votes).[1]
The victory has been received with enthusiasm by different presidents in Latin America. The triumph of Chávismo is considered to represent the solidification of the anti-neoliberal and progressive Latin American alternative.[2] However, we must ask: Has their popularity increased or eroded? What will the future bring?
While Chávismo shows smiles to everyone on the outside, inside, there are worries about the decrease in the votes captured by President Chávez. Going back to a high point of Chávismo, that vigorous 2006 presidential election, Chávez won with 63 percent of the vote (7,309,080 votes) against 37 percent for the opposition candidate of the day, Manuel Rosales, who could only get 4,292,466 votes.
So there was a clear electoral contraction of Chávismo. Measured in relative terms, Chávez lost around 8 percent of his previous voters. In absolute terms, he won another 800,000 more votes, but it must not be forgotten that the election rolls for 2012 totla 18,903,397 voters, around 3 million more than in 2006, and abstention was smaller than in 2006. And with all this, votes for Chávismo hardly increased.
If we extrapolate the 63 percent obtained in 2006 to this year's number of voters and compare it with the 55 percent of votes Chávez achieved this year, we can say that Chávismo has lost about 1.5 million votes.[3] This is a very important quantity, taking into account the consolidation of multi-million spending on social plans, help to the most needed and diverse assistance plans.
What all this shows is the evidence of a significant falloff in support, more so if we consider that Chávismo unfolded a huge electoral campaign and accelerated a series of direct transfers and massive social programs that had clear political purposes. Along these lines, Chávismo recreated an ambitious housing plan that gathered a great deal of international support, being executed by multinationals from China, Russia, Iran and so on.
In a self-congratulatory mood before the election, most of the middle ranks in the leadership expected 9.5 or even 10 million votes--Chávez himself asked for this turnout. The reality has given them a slap in the face. Despite Chávez coming out to the People's Balcony to say, "It was a perfect victory in every measure," the expectations were quite different.
SOME MONTHS ago, I wrote an article for the Argentinian review El Aromo, in which I explained the origin and political evolution of the opposition candidate Capriles.[4] There, we underlined the repressive character and fascist affinities of Capriles--he was one of the main protagonists in the siege of the Cuban Embassy in Venezuela during the coup against Chávez--in which he was, of course, involved--in April 2002.
During these days, Capriles, along with his friend Leopoldo López--who dropped his own campaign for the presidency in favor of Capriles--was infamously involved in the persecution of various known chavistas. Their expressions of hatred evoked a Latin American version of the "Night of the Long Knives." Capriles had to pay several months in jail for his foolishness of climbing the wall of the Cuban Embassy and "demanding" an exhaustive search for hidden chavistas.
However, the Venezuelan right has a short memory, and this character was able to win by a wide margin the primary elections of the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD). With a full-fledged campaign, Capriles was able to vigorously attract the young anti-chavista vote, a segment that has grown tremendously.
The central role of the youth in the caprilista campaign is notable. All their voting-data gathering centers were coordinated by university students, something that would have been virtually impossible with the previous MUD candidate, Manuel Rosales. It is not hard to believe that the increase in MUD votes was due to the youth who have just entered the Electoral Register as voters.
Capriles put forward reconciliatory ideas--with little credibility, given his record--and had a promising electoral success, starting from the premise of the impossibility of defeating a fully consolidated Chávismo with sound popular support. We say this because he took the anti-chavista bloc from 4.3 million votes to 6.5 million votes. He won a relative increase of about 7 percent of total vote and an absolute increase of around 50 percent more MUD votes than 2006--a huge success for the right, given the intense electoral domination of Chávismo.
The impression left is of a rival preparing to take power in the medium term (the next election is scheduled for 2018) in a much more favorable electoral context--when the deterioration of Chávismo's popularity as a result of ongoing problems in Venezuelan society (public insecurity, the high cost of living, unemployment, etc.) becomes more dominant. If the current trends for both sides don't change significantly, Capriles could become our new president in the next election.
Astutely, Capriles recognized his defeat and made a call for peace and acceptance of the result. Even more importantly, he vindicated the hopes of his party, Justice First (PJ)--a clone of the far-right Colombia First and bastard son of the reactionary grouping Tradition, Family and Property. PJ became the hegemonic opposition party, a robust bloc that would can push out the traditional right and within which the hardline neoliberals can rally.
Excluding the votes cast for the unitary ballot of the MUD, which was the choice of independents in the coalition, PJ obtained 1,798,409 votes, about 41 percent of the total for Capriles. That's far above A New Era, the party with the second-biggest total in the coalition--almost half of A New Era's votes came from the state of Zulia.
Given this showing in the election and its blatantly neoliberal and anti-popular character, PJ seems to be positioned as the party most diametrically opposed to Chávismo on the ideological spectrum--something evident even from the straight bourgeois composition of its membership. Hence, this is the option the international right will support with more determination. The traditional parties that governed Venezuela in the past (Democratic Action and COPEI) weren't even present in the ballot sheets.
Thus, Capriles and PJ could say, like George W. Bush, "Mission accomplished." PJ directed the campaign in a sectarian way and strove to drown out the rest of the national parties opposed to Chávismo. With their newly acquired political capital, they will attempt to set up a much fiercer opposition than the atomized and disjointed group that launched scattered attacks against the government.
THE DAYS of easy sweeps for Chávismo seem to have reached an end. With almost all of the bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie against it--along with their ideological propaganda apparatus and their international support--Chávismo won't enjoy the same commanding position as in the past. Even if the popular base of the opposition feels demoralized and hopeless (they have six more years of Chávez ahead), the leadership is strong and is currently plotting all kinds of actions to force Chávismo into the road of negotiation.
In the meanwhile, Chávismo seems to be going for nothing less than a sort of Bolivarian Pax Romana that allows peaceful coexistence. It can be safely predicted that the measures the bourgeoisie criticize the most (the most politically advanced ones) will be implemented slowly, with abundant sensitivity. The range of negotiation seems to be widening, and the country appears to be on the way toward a new and more definitive two-party system, provided that PJ succeeds in consolidating its political position.
Although this might seem a comfortable situation for both contending parties, Chávismo has other pressures and state responsibilities as it assumes the government for the six coming years. With the highest rate of inflation in the world; skyrocketing imports; extreme dependence on the oil economy; an exorbitantly overvalued currency; gas subsidized to the point that tanks can be filled with $1; poor industrial production; and intense levels of debt, both internal and foreign; Chávismo is approaching a situation in which it must undertake very drastic structural changes.
From a Marxist perspective, we believe that the conciliatory road will ruin Chávismo and that radicalism can restore the confidence of the majority of the masses--which, in turn, will facilitate a resolution to these problems.
There are only two ways in which the followers of Chávismo can solve the structural difficulties of capitalist society in Venezuela: either pushing the Bolivarian process from the center-right towards the real socialist left, which would entail a tenacious clash with the bourgeoisie; or building a pact that favors the bourgeoisie with benefits, privileges and concessions not in the interest of the working class. This latter option would not solve the underlying problems of the economy and leaves the door open to allowing greater rates of capitalist exploitation over millions of workers.
If public statements are a hint, the leadership of Chávismo is for conciliation and open negotiation with the local and transnational capital. If this is the case, the order of the day will be: currency devaluation; increases in sales taxes; reduction of social spending; downward pressure on labor contracts; a lion's share of the contracts for natural resource extraction going to transnational enterprises; preferential dollar transfers to the bourgeoisie; massive imports of products that could be produced in Venezuela; salary increases below rate of inflation; and a set of macroeconomic structural adjustment policies that the government has criticized in Capriles's proposals,[5] but has not decisively rejected.
Socialist organizing within the ranks of the heterogeneous chavista movement--in militant opposition to the bourgeoisie, the "Boli-bourgeoisie" and the red-colored bureaucracy--seems to be the only way to avoid economic restructuring on an anti-worker baisis and to ensure that the miserable criollo capitalism pushing the neoliberal and anti-socialist candidacy of Capriles does not triumph in 2018.

Was Crazy Heart Sexist? Or the Sexiest?
Newsman and Alibi contributor John Bear is fed up with the portrayal of female reporters in film. Hollywood's hypersexualized, girly journalists should all be fired, Bear opined, for sleeping with their sources.
Crazy Heart sparked his observation and criticism. In the movie, Maggie Gyllenhaal plays a single-mom music writer who interviews an old alcoholic country musician and falls for him. In this interview with Steven Zeitchik of The Roanoke Times, Gyllenhaal addresses sexism, ageism and journalism.
Q: What have the reactions been to the age difference in the on-screen relationship?
A: I get some indignance from women journalists. I think it's difficult for a relationship with a 30-year age difference to be healthy. But it happens all the time. So, what, you don't make movies about it if you think it's not the healthiest thing in the world?
I got sent this article—and I've been trying not to read press—about sexism in our culture, and they cited "Crazy Heart" as an example of yet another movie where the guy's much older and the woman's much younger. And I felt like this person who was writing maybe didn't see the movie. We're not this sexy hero and heroine who are championing our love affair! You can't choose who turns you on.
Q: You play a journalist in this film, which must make it a little bit odd when you're having, well, conversations like these.
A: It's tough talking to journalists because I think (the character) Jean is very green. She's not a seasoned journalist. And sometimes they can be a little critical.
But I think Jean is interested in finding out something true, which is something I'm interested in, in terms of journalists.
Some people have interviewed me, before I stopped reading press—which I haven't entirely done, but I try—and I read the article and thought, "That person came in with an open mind and did their best to figure out something true about me." Other times, I think someone has a fantasy or idea of me and just writes it up. Jean is the first kind.
Q: Have any journalists said things that weren't simply evaluations of your job performance?
A: I had a great interview with the Carpetbagger woman (Melena Ryzik of the New York Times). I loved her—we really got along—but she was like, "I'm so tired of seeing movies where the woman journalist sleeps with her subject." And I was like, "I don't know if it happens, but it happened here." And she's not as tough as you are. Jean isn't as grounded. She's such a feeler. She's fighting through all of that to write this article and be a journalist, but the opposition to that is this powerful, serious attraction.
Q: Which eventually wins out.
A: Yes (pause). And I wonder what (Ryzik) would have done if she was in a room with Jeff Bridges.

Comparing print on demand (POD) calendars
So, in a recent post I mentioned wall calendars. Well, I'm sure most of us know by know that with on demand printing, pretty much anyone with a digital camera and a creative side can easily make their own calendar. With that in mind, to date I have created several and used a number of different printers in the process. This post is essentially a review of those services. And maybe if you are thinking about creating your own wall calendar for the upcoming year, you might just find this helpful.
My scale is based on a 1-5 rating system with one being the worst and five being the best.
POD calendar printers I've used:
Snapfish.com – Overall rating 4/5
Print quality – 4.5/5 This HP affiliates photo calendars are crisp and clear with very few if any drawbacks.
Pricing – 2.5/5 The pricing is a bit excessive as is the shipping. A decent product might cost around $26.00. If International shipping is required, you can tack on an extra $6.00 to that figure. Not real conducive for reselling.
Paper quality – 4/5 Snapfish provides paper similar in thickness to a medium level of card stock.
Shipping time – 4/5 Buyers will likely get their product in less than a week and probably more like 3-5 days
Vistaprint.com – Overall rating 2.5/5
Print quality – 2.5/5 The business card specialists should stick to smaller items. The photos come across a bit grainy with some color problems.
Pricing – 3.5/5 Vista Print's calendars usually run around $18.00 plus shipping. They tend to be in the average range here.
Paper quality – 3/5 The paper is nice and glossy but tends to be rather thin.
Shipping time – 3/5 While copies can take several weeks to arrive, they usually come in a relatively reasonable time frame.
Lulu.com – Overall rating 3/5
Print quality – 2.5/5 Much like Vista print, the quality of images can be rather spotty.
Pricing – 4.5/5 Lulu seems to be the most affordable POD service by far. Full-sized calendars start at less than $14.00. These can easily be used for resale purposes.
Paper quality – 3.5/5 The company uses a heavy stock paper but as stated above it seems to hinder the printing.
Shipping time 3/5 The shipping speed is pretty average overall.
*Qoop.com – Overall rating 3.5/5
Print quality – 3.5/5 Qoop produced fairly nice images from photos with few real problems.
Pricing – 4/5 While not quite as reasonable as Lulu, this company was very much competitive in this area.
Paper quality – 3.5/5 Much like the others, they tended to use a decent medium grade card stock paper.
Shipping time 3/5 The time it took to receive the product was pretty typical.
* Qoop.com is now defunct but as I had a positive overall experience with them, I figured it was only right to include them in the list.

Clients often ask about where they can find a "deal" in San Francisco real estate. Some people believe that REOs are an excellent value, others focus on probate sales. My experience is that the number one detractor from the value of a property in San Francisco is a property being sold with tenants who will be in occupancy at the close of escrow. Whether or not that decrease in value makes for a "deal" is an open question. That introduction probably makes me sound like a horrible person, so I'd like to preface this by saying that I was once a tenant in San Francisco, and that home ownership in San Francisco is an elusive goal for many individuals, even those with financial means that would be considered enviable in the rest of America.
I also want to be clear that I'm not advocating eviction, particularly when it comes to people that are elderly, disabled or otherwise in a precarious and challenging personal situation. Not only are residential homes in high demand so is commercial property. Most commercial real estate owners in the San Francisco area are now requiring tenants to sign an nnn lease along with that they are also requiring a five year minimum lease. I have been told that the commercial leases right now are almost iron clad with the owner being the only person who can re-evaluate at any given time.
I did some research over the weekend looking at the sales price of single family homes in San Francisco that are tenant occupied vs. those that are vacant at the close of escrow. The numbers were pretty eye opening, even though I went in expecting their to be significant difference in the value of a tenant occupied property.
How dramatic is the difference? For homes that have sold in the past 15 months (since January 1, 2010), the median sales price of a tenant occupied home was $554,000 while the median sales price of a home that can be immediately owner occupied was $740,000. If you calculate out the median price per square foot, the tenant occupied home has a median price per square foot of $402 while other homes have a median price per square foot of $548.
San Francisco has extensive — some would say byzantine — laws and regulations regarding tenant rights. These laws vary by property type, among other things, and single family homes are perhaps the easiest to recover possession from a tenant. I would expect these values to vary by property type, and also by neighborhood. Finally, should you be considering purchasing a tenant occupied property, be sure to consult with a qualified San Francisco attorney who has a specialty in this particular area of practice.

Profile of Shane West
Name at birth: Shannon Bruce Snaith
Actor Shane West got his big break on TV's critically-acclaimed family drama Once and Again (1999-2002) and went on to play Dr. Ray Barnett on the series ER from 2004 until the show ended in 2009. A native of Louisiana, West moved to Los Angeles as a boy and got into acting as a teenager. By the time he was 18 he had appeared as a guest star in a number of TV shows, and in 1999 he made his feature film debut in Liberty Heights. His role opposite Mandy Moore in A Walk to Remember (2002) put him squarely into heartthrob territory, and he has continued to make feature films while working in television. His other films include Dracula 2000 (2000, with Gerard Butler), Get Over It (2001, with Kirsten Dunst), The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003, starring Sean Connery) and Red Sands (2009).

Android has been around for several years now and yet the topic of security continues to be the source of some argument. On the one hand you have the idea that Android is not susceptible to virus threats and, provided you are careful about what you download, there is no real need for antivirus software. On the other, you have reports and statistics claiming that malware is frighteningly common and any Android device without protection is sure to get infected. So where does the truth lie? We've asked experts from three prominent companies in mobile security — AV-Test, Avast, and Lookout — to help us figure out just how much danger we're in.
Updated on 2-12-2015 by Simon Hill: Edited and updated text, added comments from Filip Chytrý at Avast, Adrian Ludwig at Google, Andreas Marx at AV-Test, and some new links and references.
Antivirus is just part of the package
We already took a look at the top security apps on the Android platform and found that they tend to offer a lot more than just antivirus protection. In our security app roundup, we referred to a report by independent security experts, AV-Test, which compared the detection rates of the top Android antivirus apps. AV-Test CEO, Andreas Marx, said that antivirus is important, but a well-rounded security app is better.
To have a smartphone in your pocket without a remote wipe possibility is a dangerous thing.
"Antivirus is usually only one component of the offered Android protection packages," said Marx. "So a stand-alone AV is not yet required at all times, but it is a good-to-have feature as part of a bigger package. Such packages often include easy-to-use backup features for user's data, remote wipe in case the phone gets lost, etc."
We also spoke to Jan Gahura, Director of Non-Windows products at Avast and he suggested that the real benefit of Avast! Mobile Security goes beyond the antivirus features. When asked about the biggest risk to Android users, and the main incentive to download a security app, he also concurred that viruses aren't the greatest threat.
"I'd say that the biggest risk is that someone will get access to your device (either you lose your device or it's stolen)," said Gahura. "That's why we have focused on the best anti-theft solution currently available on the market. To have a smartphone in your pocket without a remote wipe possibility is a dangerous thing. It's even more dangerous than losing keys to your house. Of course someone can steal your private data using a fraudulent application, but that's certainly the harder way. With avast! Mobile Security, you are shielded from both threats."
Malware, fact or fiction?
So what about malware? Should we be worried? The key thing to remember about malware on Android is that you have to actually install it. Malware writers will use increasingly clever techniques to try and trick you into doing just that.
"If you only install software from trustworthy market places (like Google Play) and do not use your smartphone very often for web surfing or e-mailing, the OS is still pretty safe," said Andreas Marx, AV-Test. "The majority of problems arise from the installation of 'cracked' applications from 3rd party market places which are often bundled with malicious software."
As malware writers try to earn money for their bad deeds, they continually look for new ways to get their malicious software installed on your devices. The best recommendation is still to think twice before installing untrusted software or clicking on strange-looking links.
"The Google Play store is a relatively open environment," said Jan Gahura, Avast. "Even after Google introduced its Bouncer (an automatic analysis tool to approve each application which is submitted to the Google Play Store) malicious applications still exist. Here at Avast we know how hard is to develop such a tool and how easy is to fool it from a bad guy's perspective."
That point of view is echoed by Derek Halliday, Senior Product Manager at Lookout, who had some lengthy remarks on mobile security. In his eyes, Android users are far from safe.
"No OS is completely safe, and protection is a requirement across mobile platforms. No matter where you find a critical mass of people, there will always be some bad guys looking for ways to exploit them. Android has exploded in popularity, attracting a lot of consumers in the last few years, so it's only natural that it's targeted."
"It's not actually a case of Android being particularly vulnerable – Google has taken some great steps toward protecting people and screens all apps entering Google Play – but the basic programming language is Java, and that's what makes Android more of a target for the creators of malware. No special hardware is required – code can be written on a standard PC – so unlike iOS which requires a Mac, Android code writing is readily accessible to a lot of people across the world. This lower barrier to development attracts more bad guys."
"In the last 12 months, there has been an increase in for-profit malware across all OSs. We've seen increasingly sophisticated threats emerging – for the first time ever, we witnessed malware writers targeting the mobile Web via compromised or infected websites with the NotCompatible threat."
Is Google Play a hot bed of malware?
The idea that malware-infected apps are proliferating in Google Play is popular, but is there any statistical evidence to back it? At NetEvents Americas back in 2012 a BT (British Telecom), security expert Jill Knesek suggested that up to a third of Android applications carried some form of malware (based on a test of 1,000 apps) and that most devices are compromised. It was widely reported, but not true. ZDNet questioned BT on the subject and it backpedaled, saying that it no longer wishes to talk about the subject. The claims have yet to be supported by any released report.
So is all this talk really just scaremongering designed to panic you into installing antivirus software? Chris DiBona, Open Source Programs Manager at Google, certainly thought so when he released an update tackling the topic on his Google+ account back in November, 2011. In it, he argued that: "Yes, virus companies are playing on your fears to try to sell you bs protection software for Android, RIM and iOS. They are charlatans and scammers. IF you work for a company selling virus protection for Android, RIM or iOS, you should be ashamed of yourself."
"Smartphones are, however, becoming increasingly more interesting for cybercriminals."
He was talking about traditional virus problems of the kind you might see on Windows or Mac computers. Mobile platforms are not at risk in the same way because of the way they were designed. He makes a distinction between 'viruses' which spread themselves and bad apps containing malware, which you have to choose to install.
Google's official position hasn't changed much in the intervening years, as reported by The Sydney Morning Herald:
"I don't think 99 per cent plus users even get a benefit from [anti-virus]," claimed Adrian Ludwig, lead engineer for Android security, talking at Google I/O 2014, "There's certainly no reason that they need to install something in addition to [the security we provide]."
"If I were to be in a line of work where I need that type of protection it would make sense for me to do that. [But] do I think the average user on Android needs to install [anti-virus]? Absolutely not."
So what is Android malware?
The vast majority of malware on Android is focused on stealing your information, which is obviously a major concern. Perhaps the worst case scenario is malware that sends SMS messages to premium rate numbers. There's no denying that it's dangerous but it's also like a vampire – in that you have to invite it into your home, or onto your phone. It is not spreading by itself and, if you are sensible, you can avoid it without needing antivirus software.
Unfortunately, as we mentioned before, malware writers are employing ever more sophisticated techniques to fool you. There are apps that clone legitimate apps to fool you into downloading them and apps that are malware free when you first install them, but download malware through the update system. Avast discovered three malware apps in Google Play just last week. The most widespread was a game called Durak which had been downloaded more than five million times according to Play Store stats.
Avast has detected over a million pieces of malware targetting mobile devices, according to Malware Analyst Filip Chytrý, but he admits that's a relatively small threat when compared to the billion plus pieces of PC malware they've discovered.
"Smartphones are, however, becoming increasingly more interesting for cybercriminals," Chytrý suggests, "…because users tend to store so much more of their personal data on them than on their PCs, such as photos, videos, SMS, emails, and banking/shopping apps."
What are the threats?
"Premium SMS scams are the biggest threat to smartphone users, regardless of OS," explained Derek Halliday, Lookout. "They're relatively simple to set-up, and have the potential to pay-off big. But there are constantly new threats evolving, ranging from aggressive ad networks, through to Trojans and new forms of malware. Mobile phones have become our wallet, contact list, communications, and more. You wouldn't leave your bank account open to everyone, so why take the same chances with your phone when it contains so much information? But at the same time, you shouldn't be scared of using all the features on your device – Lookout gives people the freedom to enjoy their smartphone to the full. "
We asked Chytrý of Avast whether there's anything else we should be considering and he told us "One threat that many people seem to be ignoring completely is that of using open Wi-Fi networks without protection. In a survey, we found out that 76% of American smartphone and tablet users are at risk of privacy loss and identity theft via public Wi-Fi networks, as they prefer to join free, public Wi-Fi networks, many of which do not require registration or a password, to avoid data overages or simply for convenience's sake. Only a mere six percent use a virtual private network (VPN) to protect their mobile devices. Therefore, hackers can easily access the data transferred via open Wi-Fi, including a user's photos, videos, banking information, emails, chat messages and browsing history. People should take responsibility for their own privacy and start using a VPN solution when connecting to open Wi-Fi networks."
Is the problem getting worse?
"At the time you first contacted me back in August 2012, we counted around 85,000 known malware samples for the Android platform. In total." explained Andreas Marx of AV-Test, "As of today (2-14-2015), we're receiving this amount of samples within just 2 weeks."
He went on to explain that the vast majority of malicious apps are discovered in Asia, particularly China where there's no Play Store, and in Russia. He stands by his original advice about avoiding 3rd party sites or alternative sources for your apps, because more than 99 percent of malicious apps were not distributed via Google Play.
More than 99 percent of malicious apps were not distributed via Google Play.
When we asked for recommendations Marx mentioned Bitdefender Clueful Privacy Advisor, a free app which provides detailed analysis of Android apps that you can check before you download. Handy, not just for identifying malware, but also for privacy concerns and intrusive advertising. Marx says it's common for apps to be well-behaved for the first few days, delaying malicious actions to reduce the chance of you spotting the link.
He also mentioned the importance of keeping the Android platform and your apps up to date to get the latest security improvements.
Pros and cons of security apps
Since many Android security apps combine anti-theft features with backup and antivirus, it won't hurt to install them, but a pure antivirus solution might not be so worthwhile. Your safety depends more on how careful you are about what you download and where from, what links you tap in emails and online, and the networks you connect to.
If you're wondering about the disadvantage of installing antivirus then it really boils down to three things –
- cost (which you can avoid with a free option)
- footprint (it will eat some processing power)
- false positives (it will occasionally identify legitimate apps as malware)
If you're not sold on the need for an antivirus app and you want more advice take a look at how to stay safe on Android without security apps. These are simple tips for people keen to avoid malware and not so keen on running antivirus software.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Thequeengets from Sexy! Since I didn't have a nice clubbing dress in color turquoise, I gave this a try! I looks amazing with a tan. The design on the dress is sexy, the exposed back and no cleavage in front make it classy enough, not too much. The fabric is very stretchy and comfortable, medium thick and the color is very vibrant. It's true to size and molds to the body perfectly. The studs? uh, I'm not mad about it but it's just me. I bought it on sale so I can't really complain :)

Rated 4 out of 5 by Keta from Quality Material for a White Dress The best part of this dress is the weight and lining to the dress. A lot of times there are white dresses that are see through or just poorly made. This one is a good weight and elasticity. Not certain about the studs, but I will have to wear it and see if they hold up.

WQ315, Reviewed October 1993
Several types of flush tanks are commonly used for flushing dairies in Missouri. This publication deals with tip tanks dedicated to flushing a single gutter. Such tanks are in contrast to the pipeline/valve systems, in which several gutters may be flushed from the same water storage tower or towers.
The most common type of tank used to flush individual gutters is the tipping tank. These tanks may take one of several configurations; however, they all discharge flush water by tipping or rotating about an axle mounted in some type of bearing. These tanks are usually made of steel (10- to 12-gauge, depending on structural requirements) with an axle diameter and internal bracing appropriate to support the weight of the tank and contained water.
All mild steel tanks should be painted with a durable rust inhibitor and/or epoxy coating to reduce deterioration as much as possible. Recycled lagoon water accelerates rust and corrosion in mild steel. A "tank life" of 5 to 10 years is typical for mild steel flush tanks. Many producers have concluded that stainless steel may be a better choice for the tank material. Even though stainless steel is considerably more expensive, the tank will probably never have to be replaced because of deterioration.
The advantages of tipping tanks include simple construction and the resulting lower comparative cost. Tipping tanks may be obtained commercially, or in some cases, constructed locally or on-farm. Tipping tanks require relatively little on-site construction work for installation, but should be located on a concrete pad with sufficient stem walls, curbs or splash boards to contain the water as the tank is dumped. Simple "set in place and flush" installation is an attractive feature of tipping tanks. Although tipping tanks can be used in flushing any alley (return, freestall, etc.), they are perhaps used most effectively in flushing areas that may not have been designed originally to be flushed. Such areas may be wide or poorly defined gutters with flatter slopes than are optimum for flushing.
Since tipping tanks can be discharged quickly (within 1 or 2 seconds, if needed) the resulting very high discharge rate can impart energy to the flush water to "make up" for inadequate slope. However, the effect of the high-energy discharge is reduced with increasing distance from the tank, and at distances of 50 to 70 feet or greater, this effect may not be adequate for good flushing if slopes are too flat. The technique of providing another tipping tank at whatever distance interval is needed has been used with some success. Tip tanks should be sized to hold the required volume of water for the width and length of the gutter being flushed. As a rule-of-thumb, tip tanks may be sized on the basis of 100 gallons per foot-width of gutter flushed, for gutters less than 150 feet long.
Disadvantages of metal tipping tanks include reduced durability due to rusting or corrosion. Also, tipping tanks will usually block (partially or completely) the upper end of the associated flush gutter, if they are placed to discharge water directly down the gutter. This blockage may not be acceptable if human, cow or vehicular traffic into the gutter is necessary. Tipping tanks can be placed adjacent to the gutter, but this location is not as ideal because the water is not discharged directly down the gutter.
Most manually dumped tipping tanks (sometimes called "rollover tanks") are cylindrical with flat ends and have an axle through the center of the cylinder, supported by pillow blocks at each end. Water is discharged through an opening in the top of the tank as the tank is rotated about the axle to dump. The width of the tank opening is usually one-fourth to one-third of the tank diameter and extends the full length of the tank. The tank is usually supported on an "A-frame" support structure made of angle or square steel tubing. Although manual tipping tanks are relatively simple, the contained water has considerable weight depending on the size of the tank. This weight requires adequate design and construction in terms of size of support members, bracing required, etc. For this reason, most producers prefer to leave the design and construction of tipping tanks to experienced builders. Table 1 lists typical tank sizes and weight of the contained water for flushing dairies.
Table 1Typical tank volume, size and weight of water in cylindrical tipping tanks
Some tip-type flush tanks are designed to dump automatically. These tanks are seldom used in dairy applications because the automatic dumping feature offers little or no advantage. These tanks are usually trapezoidal in cross-section so that, as they are filled, the location of the center of gravity changes. If the axle, or pivot point, of such tanks is properly located, the tank will dump automatically when it gets full (when the center of gravity reaches an unstable position). Figure 1 is a typical cross section of an automatic tipping tank.
Figure 1Cross section of a trapezoidal-shaped automatic-dumping tip tank.
Occasionally, tip tanks can serve more than one function. A typical multi-use application in dairies is to use such a tank as a watering station for cows and as a means of washing manure from the area around the waterer. Waterers are typically located in areas not flushed by the alley flush devices. Therefore, an alternate means of cleaning these small areas is needed. Regular use of the watering tank as a flush tank also ensures that clean, fresh water is available to cows on a regular basis.

It took a full day of mediation, but Hernando and Hillsborough officials have settled their dispute over the name of Hernando County's airport. The new name: Brooksville Tampa Bay Regional Air�port.
BROOKSVILLE | It took a full day of mediation, but Hernando and Hillsborough officials have settled their dispute over the name of Hernando County's airport.
The new name: Brooksville Tampa Bay Regional Air�port.
Once the settlement is approved by the two jurisdictions, it will bring an end to the federal lawsuit the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority filed in early November against the Hernando County Commission and its aviation authority for violation of the Tampa International Airport trademark.
For years, the Hernando airport, south of Brooksville, has been known as the Hernando County Airport. Hernando officials wanted a name that would help them better market the airport and its adjacent industrial parks.
"Both sides are very pleased," Hernando com�mission Chairman Dave Russell said. "We had a great session."
Officials at Tampa International were mum on the outcome of mediation.
"We have no comment on the ongoing mediation," said airport spokeswoman Janet Zink. "Discussing it is strictly prohibited by the court."
Russell said he will be happy to see the lawsuit end.
"We will save ourselves some very expensive litigation costs on both sides. We've come out with a good outcome and a good name," he said.
Russell had proposed the name as a compromise on the name the Hernando commission previously had approved: Brooksville-Tampa Regional Airport. In federal court pleadings, Hillsborough authority attorneys argued that that name violated the Hillsborough Aviation Authority's trademark on "Tampa" and "Airport."
Hillsborough sought an injunction to keep Hernando from using its new name, but the judge did not rule on that prior to Wednesday's mediation session.
As part of the settlement, Hernando officials agreed that they do not have any immediate plans for regularly scheduled passenger traffic. But Hernando will not be prevented from pursuing passenger service later, Russell said.
Russell said Hernando will continue to operate as a general aviation airport.
"We're not giving up any services that we currently offer," he said.
Hernando officials also agreed to help promote Tampa International Airport to Hernando County travelers. Currently, a number of county residents choose to fly out of Orlando, Russell said.
