Minutes show Fed supports stimulus
Majority of members want to keep program through middle of year
A majority of Federal Reserve policymakers want to continue extraordinary bond purchases to help boost the U.S. economy at least through the middle of the year, according to minutes from the Fed's last meeting released Wednesday.
But many members indicated they want to slow and eventually end the program before the end of the year, as long as the job market and economy show sustained improvement. The Fed's purchases of about $85 billion a month in Treasury and mortgage bonds are intended to lower long-term interest rates and encourage more borrowing and spending.
The minutes of the Fed's March 19-20 meeting were released at 9 a.m. EDT — five hours earlier than planned — after the Fed inadvertently sent them a day earlier to congressional staffers and lobbyists.
"One gets the sense that many Fed policymakers are anxious to start paring back the size of the ... purchases as soon as the data allow," Dana Saporta, an economist at Credit Suisse, said in a note to clients.
Still, a weak employment report released Friday is likely to make policymakers even more supportive of keeping the measures in place for the foreseeable future.
The report showed employers added just 88,000 net jobs last month. That was the fewest in nine months and much lower than the average of 220,000 jobs a month created from November through February. The unemployment rate dropped to a four-year low of 7.6 percent last month. However, the rate fell only because more people stopped looking for work and were no longer counted as unemployed.
In its statement after the last meeting, the Fed said the economy had strengthened but still needed its efforts to help lower high unemployment. In addition to continuing the bond purchases, the Fed stuck by its plan to keep short-term interest rates at record lows.
The minutes indicated that many of the Fed's members want to see sustained improvement in the job market — from a wide range of economic indicators — before making any decision to reduce the pace of purchases.
Fed spokesman David Skidmore said the Fed notified the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission about the accidental Tuesday release. The Fed asked its inspector general to investigate its procedures for releasing the minutes.
"At this time we do not know if there was any trading related to the early distribution," he said. "Every indication at this time is that the early distribution of the minutes was entirely accidental."

Virginia lawmakers voted earlier this week to give college campus groups the right to restrict membership to students who agree with their mission.
The bill is designed to prevent state universities from enacting "all-comers" policies, which undermine the ability of religious and political organizations to form around a specific set of beliefs.
"It's pretty simple: A Democratic club shouldn't have to accept a Republican as a member and members of a religious group should be able to expect that their leadership will share the group's core commitments," state Sen. Mark Obenshain, the bill's sponsor, told The Roanoke Times. "It's perfectly reasonable for an organization to expect its members to agree with, and be good examples of, the organization's mission."
Critics called the bill unnecessary, saying no group had been threatened by a "hostile takeover." But in recent years, colleges have used "all-comers" policies to prevent Christian groups from refusing to accept leaders who approve of homosexuality.
The so-called nondiscrimination policies got a lot of national attention last year after Vanderbilt University, a private college in Nashville, Tenn., adopted one. Fifteen Christian groups refused to affirm the policy and lost their access to campus facilities and student-fee funding.
In an effort to force the school to reverse course, the Tennessee legislature adopted a measure similar to Virginia's, except it included any private school taking taxpayer money. Less than a week after the legislature passed the measure, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, a Republican, vetoed it.
Tennessee lawmakers resurrected the bill earlier this month. Ohio approved an "all-comers" ban last year.
Virginia's measure now awaits Gov. Bob McDonnell's signature. In an op-ed for The Daily Caller, Robert Shibley, senior vice president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), urged McDonnell to sign it into law. Doing so would protect the longstanding tradition of American political and religious freedom ensconced in the principle of pluralism.
"Part of the greatness of our country is the fact that religious groups at war with each other overseas manage to share streets or even buildings in America," he wrote. "Pluralism is religious toleration as Americans have traditionally practiced it, and it is the reason that no country can compare to the United States in its peaceful multiplicity of religious groups."

Since 2009 the last Wednesday in May marks World MS Day, raising awareness and facilitating support among MS organisations around the Globe. The Day is coordinated by the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation (MSIF). This year's theme is #Life with MS.
A number of events across the Globe mark the day. I will be in Belém near Lisbon at an event organised by the British Medical Journal to discuss MS brain health matters, with a focus on treatment at more advanced disease stages. Please note the MSIF has recently adopted *access to disease modifying treatments* among their five key strategic aims.
With your support BartsMS will hopefully be able to make a difference in terms of access too, so please remember to give to our new charity if you can.
I will post my slides after the event, however if you're keen you can register for live streaming (unless you happen to be in Lisbon today in which case you're welcome to join the action in person!).
World MS Day: The event in Belém is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from F. Hoffmann-La Roche and Roche Farmacêutica e Química.

XMNR: Bungie's E3 demo of Destiny showed a little of the variety of the Fallen enemy race in the upcoming PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360 shooter. Comparisons have already been drawn between the alien race and the Elite from the Halo series. A fan Q&A session from Friday though reveals the diversity of the enemies in the game.

Nokia has posted its quarterly results for the first quarter of 2013, and just like the quarters that came before, there's not a whole lot of good news in there. The rise in Lumia sales still can't even dream of making up for the sales drop in Symbian phones, and when broken down in versions, the sales figures for Windows Phone 8 Lumias in particular are very disappointing. In North America, Nokia is getting slaughtered.

Nokia had with Symbian 2% of the US market, then switched to US-Microsoft WP and focused on US (giving up e.g there 60% Symbian share in China by killing Symbian and not pushing Lumia to China) and have now, 2 years later with massive investment, lesser then before. Even only in US with leaving the results of there US focus-shift (eg Symbian in China, Africa, et ) out. In the homeland of Microsoft, with AT&T, with the highest marketing budget ever.

|Tuning With Primers
by Paul Box
We're often asked if primers will make any difference in loads, and in truth they not only can in pressure but also in accuracy.
Each brand of primer has a different priming mixture which will result in both a different temperature as well as duration of the flame. This can have an impact on the burning of the powder due to the different coatings used by the powder manufacturers. Simply by switching to another brand of primer, the very best in a rifles accuracy level might be found.
If the reloader is already at a max load, it's always better to reduce the load by 1.5 grains first when switching to another primer, then start increasing the load again. Primers can be a great fine-tuning accuracy tool.
|Sensitive to Recoil??
by Robert Treece
Do you have a new hunting partner who is sensitive to recoil? Handloading may help. Consider using a lighter bullet of proper construction or simply use a lighter powder charge with the heavier bullet (remaining within the suggested limits). One of these choices should help reduce recoil, therefore curtailing the "flinch" and increasing accuracy potential. So, whether this helps someone with a big magnum, a youngster, a light framed person, or even yourself, if it makes for a successful and humane hunt your goal is accomplished.

An overview of the Freedom of Information Act as it affects the British Library.
The British Library
The British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom and one of the world's greatest libraries. Our collections include more than 150 million items, in over 400 languages, to which three million new items are added every year. We house books, magazines, manuscripts, maps, music scores, newspapers, patents, databases, philatelic items, prints and drawings and sound recordings.
Much of the information within our Collections is reasonably accessible to users and it is Library policy that staff will allocate up to 30 minutes research time to information enquiries relating to our Collections. This may be followed, if necessary, by referral either to an internal priced research service, or to an external research agency. The purpose of such research is to discover whether or not the Library holds the information being sought and to provide the information whenever possible. The Library will continue to provide advice and assistance to users undertaking their own research on the collections we hold. For those enquiries that relate to information contained within our corporate records, the Freedom of Information Act applies.
The Freedom of Information Act
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives a general right of access to recorded information held by public authorities and obliges them to disclose information, subject to a range of exemptions. Applicants have the right:
- To be told whether the information exists
- To receive the information within 20 working days.
For further details on how the British Library will respond to requests, our Freedom of Information Policy can be read in full here.
Making a request for information
One of the aims of the Act is that all public authorities should be clear and proactive about the information they make available. Section 19 of the Act requires the preparation of a Publication Scheme. The British Library's publication scheme can be viewed online or made available in hard copy from pages printed from the website
Under the Freedom of Information Act you can apply to see information that is not listed in the Publication Scheme. Send us a letter, fax, or email requesting the information and, provided it is not covered by one of the exemptions in the Act, we will provide you with that information as soon as possible, or in any event within 20 working days.
When making a request for information include the following details:
- Your name and address
- The information would you like to see
- The format you would prefer to have the information in. We will make every effort to send you the information in the requested format, although in some cases may not be able to do this.
Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Exemptions under the Act
Although you may request any information we hold, there are a few exemptions under the Act that mean that we may not be able to disclose the information you need. If we decide that we cannot release the information requested, we will explain which exemption is relevant in this case.
We should be grateful for any comments you may have about our Publication Scheme. Please email us at email@example.com or contact us at the address below:

Kotaku - I adore YouTube user Criken. I don't understand how he manages to break games the way he does. Here he is playing Hitman: Absolution, making me feel like I put too much effort into trying to be sneaky when apparently Hitman is more hilarious when you're sloppy about it.
how did the ice cream truck happen?
you know in the middle of the desert i mean, and also, are these legitimate easter eggs or just and edited play through?
I have yet to buy the game but i am very interested my sweat price point is under $25. I think people are just hating on the game, you name me 5 stealthy games which are good? seriously even MGS and splinter cell have been more action(MGS is my favorite series)
Blood money just set such a high standard that for this game to meet those expections were never gonna be met
for all the bad you do get the contracts mode where its unlimited content
one thing i agree with is how bad the AI is. seriously i can't wait for next gen systems because AI on current consoles suck, most games don't even try anymore(i don't know if its just lazy development)
I don't know how this shows broken "Stealth," Aspects it's more just showing off stupid stuff.
The only broken stealth part in the whole video was the tutorial mission and that is just showing you how to play.
Compared to the BloodMoney one, the AI here isn't that bad.
BloodMoney is the game where you can blow up a dance floor with remote explosives and a few NPC might still keep dancing, completely oblivious of the dead bodies all around them.

Aldea: Chic City Style by the Room
- Location: San Francisco, CA and online
- Website: aldeahome.com
Store History
- Founded by: Johanna Bialkin
- Headquarters: San Francisco
- Sister stores: Aldea Niños
On a recent trip to San Francisco, I spent two days exploring the funky shops on Valencia Street. It was hardly enough, since I could have spent the entire time browsing and relaxing in Aldea. Lofty and bright with a welcoming quality, it's a place where the owner, Johanna, and the staff invite you in to shop, sit, and talk design.
On the day I visited, the dining table was set for a casual dinner party with imaginary guests Tyra Banks, Christiane Amanpour, and others. Mimicking that effortlessly cool friend with serious style, Aldea's space is divided into rooms that are always being rearranged and redecorated. Starting with staples from DwellStudio, Roost, Bungalow 5, and Jonathan Adler, Johanna weaves in work from local artists and craftsmen. Their exclusive pillows and fabric by Labexperiment are a graphic kaleidoscope of shapes and colors. It all works because she doesn't stock anything she wouldn't have in her own home. And I agree; I would want everything in my home. You know what? Maybe I'll just move in. I'll take the Mood bed in the back.

Note: Because of this region's climate conditions, a lawn may not be the most budget-friendly or environmentally responsible choice. Check with your county's cooperative extension service to find out if a lawn makes sense in your area.
Stop summer weeds: Don't let annual weeds crowd out your lawn this year. Use a pre-emergence herbicide to stop them from growing. Spread the pre-emergence product from mid-February to early March for best results.
Begin mowing: Start mowing your lawn as it begins to grow in late spring.
Don't let thatch build up: Thatch -- a layer of old, dead grass stems -- can stop air and water from getting to your lawn's root system. Remove thatch before the grass starts growing in summer.
Fertilize your lawn: Warm-season lawns do best when temperatures are more than 80 degrees F. Start feeding as it warms up in late April or early May. Feed according to the fertilizer package instructions throughout the summer.
Get rid of grubs: If grubs have been a problem in your neighborhood, use a long-acting grub killer to stop them in early May.
Start a new lawn: Use seed, sprigs, or plugs to start lawns in the summer. Remember that grasses need plenty of water as they become established; never allow a new lawn to dry out.
Keep mowing: You'll probably need to mow regularly in summer. Avoid removing more than a third of the leaf's total blade length at one time: This can stress your lawn.
Aerate hard soil: If your soil is hard and compacted, aerate it in summer to allow air, moisture, and nutrients to reach your lawn's roots more easily.
Water sensibly: Most lawns need regular watering during the summer to keep them green. On average, you'll need to provide about 1 inch of water per week
There's still more mowing: Keep mowing your lawn as it slows down during the fall season.
Overseed with annual ryegrass: Bermudagrass goes dormant and turns brown in the winter months, so you can overseed it with annual ryegrass. The ryegrass grows and stays green during the cooler months, then dies out once it gets hot -- just as your Bermudagrass starts turning green again.
Prevent winter weeds: Stop pesky winter weeds just like you do their summer counterparts: Apply a pre-emergence herbicide from mid-October to mid-November.

C'mon, you all knew this would happen eventually. Welcome back for the third (I think) incarnation of my soundtrack collection. Most of these are things I made myself unless otherwise noted. First off, my proudest creation: Remastered The Legend Reborn Complete Soundtrack (DIFFERENT FROM THIS) - 172 MB.
What makes this different from the other is that I extracted the AC3 audio - all six channels - instead of converting the audio to mp3. None of you probably understand what that even means, so I'll tell you:
It sounds better. And it's in stereo.
Now here's something another BZPer made - a soundtrack collection of cues from the first three BIONICLE films. I think his name was Twister 92 or something. Anyways, here it is.
The Music of BIONICLE - Pretty much all the promo tracks and songs used over the years. 80 MB.
Remastered Bohrok and Bohrok-Kal Online Animations Soundtracks - Take a look at this topic from a few months back. Bohrok and
Bohrok-Kal (still working on finding this for reupload). The following image made by my good friend MagnumVsRockford.
Mata Nui Online Game Soundtrack - Everyone's all-time favorite. Totally created by Planetperson some years back. The following images were also made by MagnumVsRockford. Link.
Mata Nui Online Game II: The Final Chronicle - The less-than-stunning follow-up to the MNOLG. Unfortunately, music in the game was scarce. A mere 22 MB. The following image was made by MagnumVsRockford.
BIONICLE Heroes: I had some help with this from Brawl and Megatron's Beak or whatever he calls himself now. He's a very fickle person. 45 MB. The following image was made by me - you can tell because it stinks.
Inika Island Assault - The music from the online game. I personally have never been able to beat it past level three.
20 MB. (still trying to find this)
Barraki Online Game - I only made this because the level two music was good. The rest is just boring. A riveting
[url="%5Burl="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?74ktdotxcgoe18r"]http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?74ktdotxcgoe18r[/url]"]8 MB[/url]. (still trying to fin this)
Saffire LoMN Game: The Music from the Onua Level.
Mars Mission: Remember that cool Lego theme from 2007? I've always liked the music for that. Here it is.
Well, that's all. Are you feeling anger or hate towards me because your favorite song wasn't here? Well, don't worry, lad! PM me a request or post one here! I'll get back to you as soon as I can, hopefully with your music in tow!
Now download something, I worked on this for a long time.

NEW YORK – The New York Knicks romped to their first Atlantic Division title since 1994, getting 36 points from Carmelo Anthony and beating the Washington Wizards, 120-99, on Tuesday night for their 13th straight victory.
Anthony put this one away with 21 points during the Knicks' 37-point third quarter that gave them a 95-71 lead. The NBA's scoring leader added eight rebounds and six assists while becoming the first Knick since newly elected Hall of Famer Bernard King with five straight 35-point games.
Iman Shumpert added 18 points for the Knicks, who negated a height disadvantage by tying a franchise record with 20 3-pointers. J.R. Smith and Chris Copeland each added 17 points.
John Wall scored 33 points for the Wizards.
Heat 94, Bucks 83: At Miami, LeBron James scored 28 points, Udonis Haslem had 10 points and 15 rebounds and Miami moved a step closer to wrapping up home-court advantage in the playoffs with a win over Milwaukee.
The Heat tied a franchise single-season record by winning for the 61st time, getting there with five games remaining. Miami needs only one more win or one San Antonio loss to clinch the top overall seed for the entirety of the playoffs.
Pacers 99, Cavaliers 94: At Indianapolis, George Hill scored 27 points and David West added 15 to help Indiana rally from a 20-point deficit for a win over Cleveland.
Paul George chipped in with 14 points, Lance Stephenson had 13 and Tyler Hansbrough 12 for the Pacers, who can clinch the No. 3 seed in the East with a win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.
Grizzlies 94, Bobcats 75: At Memphis, Tenn., Mike Conley scored 20 points, Zach Randolph had 11 points and 13 rebounds, and Memphis beat Charlotte.
Memphis won its 13th straight at home and tied a franchise record with its 31st home win.
Kemba Walker scored 19 points to lead the Bobcats, and Gerald Henderson had 13.
Nets 104, 76ers 83: At New York, Brook Lopez scored 29 points, and Reggie Evans added 17 points and 24 rebounds as Brooklyn firmly held its ground in the East with a victory over Philadelphia.
Deron Williams and Joe Johnson had 11 points apiece for the Nets, who began the day with a two-game lead over the Bulls for the No. 4 seed.
Rockets 101, Suns 98: At Houston, Jermaine O'Neal was called for goaltending on James Harden's last-second 3-point attempt and Houston beat Phoenix.
Harden scored 33 points and Omer Asik tied his career high with 22 rebounds for the Rockets, who needed a win and a Utah loss to Oklahoma City to clinch a playoff berth.

Rio Grande hires retention specialist
RIO GRANDE, Ohio – The University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College has announced the hire of Dean Crawford as Recruitment and Retention Specialist.
The newly formed position is designed to increase student engagement and persistence throughout their entire Rio Grande experience. The position reports to the Dean of Enrollment Management and will provide a retention focus to all planning, coordination and implementation of recruitment and enrollment initiatives.
"I am very excited to join the Rio Grande family and serve as a student advocate," Crawford said. "I see this position as a student voice within the administration. My goal is to alleviate the stresses of student life as best as possible, and make the transition to college, and from semester to semester easier."
Crawford, 26, previously worked at Ohio University Southern's Proctorville Center, where he served as Assistant to the Director. His experience at the Proctorville Center also included time as a Recruitment Coordinator and Administrative Assistant.
The Arabia, Ohio native has a Master's Degree in Public Administration and baccalaureate in Organizational Communication from Ohio University.
Crawford maintains an open-door policy with students in his office, room 116 within the Rhodes Student Center located on the Rio Grande campus. But he hopes to spend much of his time mingling with students throughout campus.
"I need to really see what's going on with students and what their concerns are," Crawford said. "I plan to be out where the students are on campus, and make trips to the Meigs Center and McArthur Center."
Founded in 1876 and nestled in the beautiful rolling hills of southeastern Ohio, Rio Grande serves as an oasis of learning, innovation and technology. The 190-acre residential campus strikes a balance of liberal arts and experiential learning to prepare students for successful lives as responsible citizens in a culturally diverse, global community. An epicenter of cultural enrichment, Rio offers students a nurturing environment focused on the needs of the individual with a student-faculty ratio of 16:1 and a plethora of extracurricular activities ranging from Student Senate to Greek life, and intercollegiate athletics.

Theo de Raadt wrote about the Intel Core 2 Duo chip: "Various developers are busy implementing workarounds for serious bugs in Intel's Core 2 cpu. These processors are buggy as hell, and some of these bugs don't just cause development/debugging problems, but will assuredly be exploitable from userland code." Intel has given a response to the concerns as well.

Einstein's Technology Development Program (TDP), which is managed by the office of business development, was established to further advance nascent patented and patent-pending technology licensing opportunities developed at Einstein, so that they may become more attractive to commercial entities that have the capability to bring these exciting innovations and research projects to market to benefit the public.
The first criterion for candidate selection of potential TDP projects is whether there is underlying intellectual property (patent) protection for the innovation. Thus, it is vital that Einstein investigators submit their innovations to the office of biotechnology in the form of invention disclosures.
The office of business development routinely provides promising and appropriate Einstein technology licensing opportunities that have first been vetted internally to third-party commercial entities. Often, the advice and participation of contract research organizations, research institutes and biotechnology companies are enlisted to provide objective feedback and suggestions for promising Einstein technology licensing opportunities as potential TDP projects. This third-party feedback and participation are critical components in determining which TDP projects proceed and the path that is selected for them.

The opening tournament of the spring season for the Lipscomb Bisons golf team has not been as bright as the California sun they are enjoying.
After two rounds Monday in the North Ranch Intercollegiate at North Ranch Country Club in Westlake Village, Calif., the Bisons are 11th with a 619 score, 51 strokes over par.
Lipscomb coach Will Brewer is not discouraged by the effort of his team.
"We didn't execute well," Brewer said. "This golf course is one that you need to play a few times to get comfortable with where you can hit it and where you can't hit it.
"We didn't putt the ball very well. The greens are very fast. It is the beginning of the season. We are just not as sharp as we need to be. I am still proud of the way the guys played."
Blanton Farmer had the low score of the day for the Bisons with a 74 in the second round. He shot a 76 the first round for a 152 which placed him in a tie for 41st overall.
Dustin Wilder is tied for 46th with a 153 (76, 77). Ryan Terry is tied for 56th with a 157 (79, 78). Alex Cox is tied for 58th with a 158 (75, 83). Paul Kleine-Kracht finished the day with a 162 (80, 82).
"Paul played the last 13 holes at one-under par after a pretty tough start," Brewer said. "I was proud of the way he came back. Blanton came back and played a better second 18."
The tournament closes out Tuesday with 18 holes. Brewer is expecting a strong showing from his players.
"We are a swing, a chip or putt away from having a pretty good round," Brewer said. "We know the golf course more after a practice round and two tournament rounds. We should feel a little more comfortable.
"It is just a matter of execution. We have to make putts. They know they didn't play to their ability. I think they will come out motivated."


text: I first learned to knit when I was about 15 years old and my sister bought me knitting needles for Christmas. I have been knitting on and off since that time, but really got back into it shortly before my son was born. I had dreams of being able to work at home and raise my children, so I threw myself into something I love, knitting, to make that happen. I have always loved trying new things and designing, but since knitting helped me to achieve my goal of staying home with my little one, I have found an even deeper respect and passion for it than I ever imagined possible. I love creating, coming up with new ideas, and turning them into real, tangible items. Every one of my patterns is designed with love and I hope you will love them as much as I do!Check me out on Facebook where I offer pattern testing opportunities, chances to win my patterns, and a little knitting community!Thanks for stopping by and I hope you found a pattern you can't live without <3Melody

I don't think the spoke ties have anything to do with it. I suspect that spoke had been stressed in the past and for whatever reason it decided to give up on that day.
Bracciano's are the best bang-for-buck wheel going around so I think they're great. Should I look after them more? Sure... but so far so good and when they go I'll upgrade them
Sounds like the shop sorted you out Rex. I keep the genuine spares kits in stock if you need them in the future. I wouldn't bother replacing the odd one now thats its in there.
Hope you'll replace them with another set of Pro-Lite's when you eventually wear them out

About RON HOGAN

About BEATRIX
How did this season's hot books generate their heat? And why do other novels surrounded by buzz turn into duds? Beatrix, a subset of my longrunning literary blog Beatrice.com, openly speculated about these questions in the form of "book review reviews" from January to August of 2005.
Beatrice; or, Where It All Began
I first launched Beatrice.com in 1995 as a venue for author interviews. In late 2003, I switched over to a daily blog of news and commentary about books and authors. What you see here now is essentially one side of that blog's original makeup, the side that dealt with how books were received by the literary culture. The full blog contains not only these "book review reviews," but news items about various writers and original insights from the authors themselves in the form of interviews, blog excerpts, and guest articles.

Terrebonne Parish officials are still examining Houma's noise ordinance to address complaints from residents who say the downtown night scene can get too loud.
Terrebonne Parish officials are still examining Houma's noise ordinance to address complaints from residents who say the downtown night scene can get too loud.
Following a Jan. 23 public hearing in which a downtown Houma resident told the council it isn't uncommon for her windows to rattle at night from blaring music, the council made a motion to address Terrebonne's existing noise ordinance and decide whether it's too broad or just needs to be strictly enforced.
As it stands, Terrebonne's noise ordinance outlaws noise that is louder than 70 decibels when measured at a distance of more than 25 feet away. A violation of the ordinance can result in a misdemeanor, which may include up to a $500 fine and 30 days in jail.
During Monday night's Policy, Procedure and Legal Committee meeting at the Government Tower, parish officials acknowledged the noise concern has been an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed.
"We feel what we have right now has gone through the council several times, and with the situations that have occurred in the past, I think we need a little more enforcement," said Pat Gordon, Terrebonne Parish planning and zoning director.
Police Chief Todd Duplantis said Friday he has already directed his staff to issue citations to those who are in noncompliance with the noise ordinance.
Moreover, Gordon said he's been in contact with Lafayette officials to learn how they deal with excessive noise from downtown bars and clubs.
Gordon said Lafayette has a special noise abatement administrator on staff who also handles liquor licensing.
In Lafayette, law enforcement works with bar and club owners to come up with ways to mitigate sound within the establishment, such as installing multiple doors so loud noise has a harder time escaping, Gordon said.
Still, some council members said Houma's ordinance is too broad.
Councilwoman Christa Duplantis said her constituents complain about not only loud bars and clubs downtown, but also live music events that have permits that waive the ordinance.
"We give permits to make noise because we say it's OK, and they don't have to follow the ordinance, and that's the problem," Duplantis said. "We can give them the OK to play a little bit longer, but not be able to blast it. ... It's getting out of hand."
Gordon said he plans to continue examining Houma's existing ordinance.
"I believe we have a good ordinance that can be enforced," he said.
Duplantis and Gordon both indicated they will meet to discuss the issue further and hopefully bring forward a resolution for the council to discuss at a later date.

The Music Business in Nashville - A History
Built On Radio
Many people trace the origins of Music City to the birth of Music Row in the 1950s or the birth of the Grand Ole Opry in the 1920s, but the truth is that Nashville's affinity for music shaped the city even in the 19th century. Hymnal publishing started in the 1820s, and the years after the Civil War saw the formation of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, who achieved worldwide fame and performed for Queen Victoria. Then in 1892, work was completed on the Union Gospel Tabernacle, soon to be renamed The Ryman Auditorium. By the early 20th century the Ryman had earned a reputation as the "Carnegie Hall of the South" for its wide-ranging and sophisticated programming, spearheaded by general manager Lula Naff. The greats of the age, including Paderewski, Enrico Caruso and John Philip Sousa performed at the Ryman, which also staged operas and old-time music shows. Its eclectic approach pointed to Nashville's rich and wide-ranging musical future.
Nashville's vehicle to becoming Music City in the modern era was radio. Several small stations went on the air in the early 1920s, but in 1925 Nashville got a station with national stature and ambitions. WSM was launched and owned by the National Life & Accident Insurance Co., and their mutually reinforced growth over the next fifty-plus years would create the conditions that made a music industry possible. Almost immediately, National Life sparked imitation at its competitor company Life & Casualty, which launched WLAC in 1926. Both stations earned full-power, clear-channel status from the federal government, assuring that Nashville music could be heard nearly across the entire U.S. over two powerhouse radio signals. It also meant that if you were a singer, picker, piano player or gospel group, there were two big outlets in Nashville that might put you on the air and maybe even pay you. Thus did the city become a magnet for talent.
Both WSM and WLAC grew during the Depression, and both were dedicated corporate citizens during WWII, covering the war and pursuing public service on the home front. Then in the prosperous post-war era, those stations' two decades of producing live music shows put them in a great position to shape the new Nashville. WSM proved to be a veritable business incubator, as its employees spun off the first major music publisher in the city (Acuff-Rose), the first recording studio (Castle), the first independent record label (Bullet) and the first artist booking agency, which broke away from the Grand Ole Opry. Then when WSM band leader Francis Craig recorded "Near You" in WSM studios and had it released by WSM alumnus Jim Bulleit on his new company Bullet Records, the disc became the nation's biggest hit of 1947, giving Nashville its first million-seller, with all home-grown talent. No wonder in 1950 WSM announcer David Cobb proclaimed that Nashville was "Music City USA."
Music Row
WSM band leader and music director Owen Bradley built his famous Quonset Hut studio in 1958, marking the first business on what would become Music Row. That was also the same year the term "the Nashville Sound" was seen in the press. It referred to a new wave of production in country music, spearheaded by Bradley and Chet Atkins, that added strings, background vocals and pop music techniques to what had been stripped-down hillbilly music sessions. Encouraged as a way to compete for adult ears while rock and roll soaked up the attention (and dollars) of America's youth, the Nashville Sound produced country music's first true crossover stars, including Jim Reeves, Eddy Arnold, Ferlin Husky and Patsy Cline. With success piling on success, most of the major record companies and scores of independents opened offices along 16th and 17th Avenues, and by the early 1960s, Nashville was the top recording center in the U.S. outside of Los Angeles and New York. The A-Team studio musicians worked three and four sessions every day, and legendary songwriters like Harlan Howard and Hank Cochran cranked out great work that sold millions. Country music was the city's core business, but it was hardly a monopoly. Elvis Presley commuted from Memphis to make most of his RCA recordings, and icons like Bob Dylan sought out Nashville as a place with quality studios, world-class musicians and producers and a historic vibe that couldn't be recreated anywhere else.
The growth of Nashville's music industry might not have been as robust had it not been for its often underappreciated diversity. As the Country Music Hall of Fame's long-running special exhibit Night Train To Nashville described, the city was a hub of R&B and blues from the late 1940s until the 1970s. One important catalyst was radio station WLAC, where several black and white DJs began to play black music late at night. John Richbourg, Gene Nobles, Hoss Allen and Don Whitehead spun Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, B.B. King and much more, to the delight of a growing audience of fascinated fans across the Eastern U.S. These broadcasts inspired numerous iconic careers, including Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Levon Helm of The Band. Closer to home, an infrastructure grew up to take advantage of interest in this remarkable music. Record labels like Excello and Republic (not to mention Bullet) released the music. Mail order outlets like Randy's Record Shop and Ernie's Record Mart (both sponsors on WLAC) moved the music to customers. And over on Jefferson Street, clubs throbbed with the astonishing music of Ray Charles, Etta James, a young Jimi Hendrix and local artists Earl Gaines, Gene Allison and Bobby Hebb.
Nashville's country music industry cycled through trends in fashion and style. The so-called Outlaws (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, etc.) fought for and won the right to oversee their own production and use their own bands, breaking some of the creative grip the labels had on Music Row. Dolly Parton took her glamorous look to television in a time of variety shows featuring more middle-of-the-road country stars. The 1980 film Urban Cowboy made country cool and helped the music become further accepted by the mainstream media. But few changes had as much impact as the birth of The Nashville Network in 1983. Launched by National Life, the same company that owned and operated the Grand Ole Orpy and WSM, TNN put country artists and the country music lifestyle on national TV around the clock. The growth of the network over the next two decades would closely track with the rapid growth of the country music business to previously unimaginable heights.
Also vital was the growth of the Country Music Association, which was launched in the late 1950s as a re-organization of the short-lived Country Music Disc Jockeys Association. Under the leadership of Jo Walker-Meador, the CMA was wildly successful encouraging radio stations around the country to adopt a country music format, which rose from a few dozen in the 60s to more than 2,000 today. At the same time, the CMA Awards, which began with an untelevised ceremony at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium in 1967 (Eddy Arnold was Entertainer of the Year), grew into a major live event that has moved over the decades from NBC to CBS to ABC, where it currently is hosted. Also vital, the CMA Music Festival, was born 1972 as a collaboration between the CMA and the owners of WSM. During its long run at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds it was called Fan Fair, and it became famous for its live shows and its marathon autograph sessions by country stars. In 2001, the event moved downtown. In 2004, its name was changed to the CMA Music Festival and ABC began airing an annual highlights special featuring its main stage in the Tennessee Titans' home, LP Field.
The Big Time
As radio and TV helped country music expand its audience, Music Row evolved from a cottage industry to a corporate juggernaut more valued and more influenced by the coastal entertainment centers and the global music business. The evolution of modern day Music Row could be personified aptly in the career of Jimmy Bowen, who moved to Nashville from Los Angeles in the late 1970s. Richly experienced in producing hit pop records (Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra among them), Bowen became a dominant figure as a label executive and record producer. He brought West Coast ambition and connections, setting the tone for an influx of similarly-oriented business people. Bowen fought for bigger recording budgets, championed digital recording and gave artists a much larger role in producing their albums. He gave many promising executives important jobs, including future MCA Records president Tony Brown, and he influenced the blockbuster careers of Reba McEntire, George Strait, and the biggest of all, Oklahoman Garth Brooks.
Brooks became the face of Nashville in the 1990s. He redefined success in country music, hitting unprecedented benchmarks for sales and concert appearances and pulling along a whole generational cohort of new stars, as he made his way to becoming the second biggest-selling solo album artist in music history, after Elvis himself. However such dizzying heights couldn't be maintained. The music business in general reached its peak in 2001, but because of a variety of forces including widespread song-sharing on the internet, album sales declined steeply through the first decade of the 21st century. Labels closed or consolidated. By some estimates, the decade saw the number of people working in mainstream record labels and publishing companies cut roughly in half.
But Nashville seems to know not of defeat. Recent years have seen a surge in re-invention and entrepreneurship. Independent companies found success, most remarkably Big Machine Records with its discovery and backing of superstar Taylor Swift. After many years of trying and near success, Music City began developing national and international rock stars, most notably Kings of Leon and Paramore. The arrival of Jack White's Third Man Records was seen widely as a signal of Nashville's new cultural cachet. Meanwhile dozens of lesser-known but vibrant companies launched with new business models for the development of talent and social media marketing. In some ways, the city is reprising the 1950s and 60s, when music was done by local businesses with national ambitions and a sense of anything is possible. A sense of renewal and renaissance is palpable. The story of Music City in the 21st century is being written before our ears.

KDevelop Rated Leading Open Source IDE
The illustrious
(X)Emacs and Kdevelop-type fancy stuff
Kdevelop is undoubtedly a very impressive tool. Still, being part of those guys who grew up with Emacs, I will never give it up for any "standard paradigm" IDE, however excellent this IDE may be.
I don't think that I have to explain why, every folk out there who has got a chance to master only 0.5% of Emacs functionnalities, and to "get it", in the sense "undestood what make the Emacs paradigm different from everything else", knows why I feel that way. Emacs is my desktop, and Emacs is my IDE.
Still, many Kdevelop functionnalities rock, and I envy some of them. Meanwhile, XEmacs is now being ported to Gtk, which is only the tip of the "Gui-XEmacs project" iceberg, since XEmacs's architecture, more importantly, is now more and more adapted to the development of sophisticated graphics extensions. And a Qt port, thanks to the Gtk port, is much easier to do than it was one year ago. To put it another way: it is now possible to embed Kdevelop-type functionnalities, especially graphical ones, in a Qt-based XEmacs. Moreover, one can certainly imagine that this baby would have the capability to embed KDE components in its buffers, including Khtml, among others. For the first time, one would have the possibility to combine the unequaled Emacs Lisp environment paradigm with KDE/Konqueror/Kdevelop/whatever capabilities. A dream come true.
Before you ask, no, I wouldn't be able to do it myself, unfortunately.

Re: (X)Emacs and Kdevelop-type fancy stuff
Instead of this, I'd much rather a Qt prot of Emacs be done as a KPart, or emacs made into an XPart. This could also theoretically be done with VIM. That way, we can simply drop our editor of choice into KDevelop, and use it's cool features.
By Aaron Traas at Fri, 2001/03/02 - 6:00am
Re: (X)Emacs and Kdevelop-type fancy stuff
This is of course another thing we may look forward to, but this is very different. You're thinking of Emacs the editor, I'm thinking of Emacs the environment. To put is another way, a day in front of my computer is not a KDE session or whatever, it's an Emacs session. Mail, news, development, Matlab session, document creation, web site creation, etc... all those things take place in my Emacs buffers. Still, (X)Emacs's currently limited graphics capability make it a poor or unusable tool for good web browsing, graphics creation and manipulation, graphical development (Kdevelop/Glade/ddd-type, for example), etc... What I was suggesting in my previous post is aimed at answering those limitations, by bringing KDE capabilities within Emacs.

There's also a very complete gvim that may get corba bindings soon.
By Robert at Sat, 2001/03/10 - 6:00am
Re: KDevelop Rated Leading Open Source IDE
KDevelop is great except the editor blows. If you could get CORBA, K/X-PARTS bindings around gvim or xemacs, I'm sure a ton of people would use it up then.
By Robert at Sat, 2001/03/10 - 6:00am
Re: KDevelop Rated Leading Open Source IDE
I don't know that it "blows" - it bears a striking resemblance to the Visual Studio editor, but I do agree that it is a weak point. I very much like KDevelop, but found that I could not live without XEmacs.
Allowing XEmacs to be embedded would be excellent.

Re: KDevelop Rated Leading Open Source IDE
Except visual studio does auto-indention, code-completion and that function param insight thing. The thing is that it would not be hard to actauly write the code that does that, just have a queue that holds the lines(or marks that keep up with editor mutations, when a char is pressed just add 1 to everything greater than that point, or subtract for a delete and some other weird suff) get the C++ lines(from ';','{' or '}' to ';', '{' or '}') changed, and parse them as belonging to a scope object(in a seperate thread of course). This is were OO programming gets cool, just make a class decleration or a namespace a scope subclass and you can just say something like scope_in->parseline(line), if it's a namespace, class, or anything it will figure it out itself, fill in the stucture. I once wrote this exact thing in like 2 weeks for Gtk in c++ but deleted it(I use visual studio now on windows), and I've only been programming for like 8 months(I'm 18), so I'm sure someone who knew what they were doing could do it in like a day. And if your keeping track of marks, then auto-indention is simple(like 2 hours to impliment). The point is that it takes more code to find out were to draw the auto-completion windows than anything else. KDE studio is trying to impliment auto-completion but ther doing some weird stuff with XML which seems like it would be alot harder. Of course a CORBA editor binging would be cooler, then you could just add auto-completion to XEmacs or gvim and get that plus their functionality.
Sorry for my convulated writing, it's like 1 am.

Re: KDevelop Rated Leading Open Source IDE
KDE Studio has had auto-completion implemented for quite a long time. It uses ctags for it currently. In the first incarnation it was a rather convoluted process, but it works nicely now. We are working on some new features to allow you to configure auto-formatting of your code to your particular style.
By Shawn Gordon at Sun, 2001/03/11 - 6:00am
Re: KDevelop Rated Leading Open Source IDE
Try to use marks(things that keep up with text mutations), and just keep the indent level and if it's an open or close brace. Then when a close brace is typed find the first unmatched open brace and insert the indent level of the open brace tabs from the beginning of the line. I wish I still had the code it worked almost perfectly and with stuff like templates support and namspace auto-completion, and was far faster than KDE studio's implimentation, but I haven't used KDE studio in like a month so I don't know how it is now. Also a nice easter egg for auto completion is support for glBegin and glEnd, which can be done eisly if auto-indention reads a file that lets it support diferent languages like pascal's begin-end.
By robert at Sun, 2001/03/11 - 6:00am
Re: KDevelop Rated Leading Open Source IDE
For glBegin glEnd I meant auto-indention not auto-complerion.

Re: KDevelop Rated Leading Open Source IDE
Emacs is embedabble via an emacs server. Thing is, it wants to present all its functionality, which includes its quirks. Emacs sources are elisp, which isn't so much like C++ or other procedural languages. People do seem to get hooked on it, who try it, and emacs becomes infinitely customizable for them. What sets emacs apart for me are all the major modes that people have written for working in almmost any given enviornment. These modes are also written in elisp, and hence can be tweaked by the elisp savy user. It is much more than editing functions, and includes a sophisticated and powerful way of manipulating text based information. The truely devoted never leave emacs because whatever you were going to do, there is a major mode for doing it emacs.
