In a rising Saudi Arabian city, far from weary, recession-scarred America, a struggling businessman pursues a last-ditch attempt to stave off foreclosure, pay his daughter's college tuition, and finally do something great. In A Hologram for the King, Dave Eggers takes us around the world to show how one man fights to hold himself and his splintering family together in the face of the global economy's gale-force winds. This taut, richly layered, and elegiac novel is a powerful evocation of our contemporary moment—and a moving story of how we got here.

Alan Clay woke up in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It was May 30, 2010. He had spent two days on planes to get there.
In Nairobi he had met a woman. They sat next to each other while they waited for their flights. She was tall, curvy, with tiny gold earrings. She had ruddy skin and a lilting voice. Alan liked her more than many of the people in his life, people he saw every day. She said she lived in upstate New York. Not that far away from his home in suburban Boston.
If he had courage he would have found a way to spend more time with her. But instead he got on his flight and he flew to Riyadh and then to Jeddah. A man picked him up at the airport and drove him to the Hilton.
With a click, Alan entered his room at the Hilton at 1:12 a.m. He quickly prepared to go to bed. He needed to sleep. He had to travel an hour north at seven for an eight o'clock arrival at the King Abdullah Economic City. There he and his team would set up a holographic teleconference system and would wait to present it to King Abdullah himself. If Abdullah was impressed, he would award the IT contract for the entire city to Reliant, and Alan's commission, in the mid-six figures, would fix everything that ailed him.
So he needed to feel rested. To feel prepared. But instead he had spent four hours in bed not sleeping.
He thought of his daughter, Kit, who was in college, a very good and expensive college. He did not have the money to pay her tuition for the fall. He could not pay her tuition because he had made a series of foolish decisions in his life. He had not planned well. He had not had courage when he needed it.
His decisions had been short sighted.
The decisions of his peers had been short sighted.
These decisions had been foolish and expedient.
But he hadn't known at the time that his decisions were short sighted, foolish or expedient. He and his peers did not know they were making decisions that would leave them, leave Alan, as he now was — virtually broke, nearly unemployed, the proprietor of a one-man consulting firm run out of his home office.
He was divorced from Kit's mother, Ruby. They had now been apart longer than they had been together. Ruby was an unholy pain in the ass who now lived in California and contributed nothing financially to Kit's finances. College is your thing, she told him. Be a man about it, she said.
Now Kit would not be in college in the fall. Alan had put his house on the market but it had not yet sold. Otherwise he was out of options. He owed money to many people, including $18k to a pair of bicycle designers who had built him a prototype for a new bicycle he thought he could manufacture in the Boston area. For this he was called an idiot. He owed money to Jim Wong, who had loaned him $45k to pay for materials and the first and last on a warehouse lease. He owed another $65k or so to a half-dozen friends and would-be partners.
So he was broke. And when he realized he could not pay Kit's tuition, it was too late to apply for any other aid. Too late to transfer.
Was it a tragedy that a healthy young woman like Kit would take a semester off of college? No, it was not a tragedy. The long, tortured history of the world would take no notice of a missed semester of college for a smart and capable young woman like Kit. She would survive. It was no tragedy. Nothing like tragedy.
They said it was a tragedy what had happened to Charlie Fallon. Charlie Fallon froze to death in the lake near Alan's house. The lake next to Alan's house.
Alan was thinking of Charlie Fallon while not sleeping in the room at the Jeddah Hilton. Alan had seen Charlie step into the lake that day. Alan was driving away, on his way to the quarry. It had not seemed normal that a man like Charlie Fallon would be stepping into the shimmering black lake in September, but neither was it extraordinary.
Charlie Fallon had been sending Alan pages from books. He had been doing this for two years. Charlie had discovered the Transcendentalists late in life and felt a kinship with them. He had seen that Brook Farm was not far from where he and Alan lived, and he thought it meant something. He traced his Boston ancestry, hoping to find a connection, but found none. Still, he sent Alan pages, with passages highlighted.
The workings of a privileged mind, Alan thought. Don't send me more of that shit, he told Charlie. But Charlie grinned and sent more.
So when Alan saw Charlie stepping into the lake at noon on a Saturday he saw it as a logical extension of the man's new passion for the land. He was only ankle-deep when Alan passed him that day.
When Alan woke in the Jeddah Hilton he was already late. It was 8:15. He had fallen asleep just after five.
He was expected at the King Abdullah Economic City at eight. It was at least an hour away. After he showered and dressed and got a car to the site it would be ten. He would be two hours late on the first day of his assignment here. He was a fool. He was more a fool every year.
He tried Cayley's cellphone. She answered, her husky voice. In another lifetime, a different spin of the wheel wherein he was younger and she older and both of them stupid enough to attempt it, he and Cayley would have been something terrible.
—Hello Alan! It's beautiful here. Well, maybe not beautiful. But you're not here.
He explained. He did not lie. He could no longer muster the energy, the creativity required.
—Well, don't worry, she said, with a small laugh — that voice of hers implied the possibility of, celebrated the existence of a fantastic life of abiding sensuality — we're just setting up. But you'll have to get your own ride. Any of you know how Alan will get a ride out here?
She seemed to be yelling to the rest of the team. The space sounded cavernous. He pictured a dark and hollow place, three young people holding candles, waiting for him and his lantern.
—He can't rent a car, she said to them.
And now to him: —Can you rent a car, Alan?
—I'll figure it out, he said.
He called the lobby.
—Hello. Alan Clay here. What's your name?
He asked names. A habit Joe Trivole instilled back in the Fuller Brush days. Ask names, repeat names. You remember people's names, they remember you.
The clerk said his name was Edward.
—Yes sir. My name is Edward. Can I help you?
—Where are you from, Edward?
—Jakarta, Indonesia, sir.
—Ah, Jakarta, Alan said. Then realized he had nothing to say about Jakarta. He knew nothing about Jakarta.
—Edward, what do you think of me renting a car through the hotel?
—Do you have an international driver's license?
—Then no, I don't think you should do this.
Alan called the concierge. He explained he needed a driver to take him to the King Abdullah Economic City.
—This will take a few minutes, the concierge said. His accent was not Saudi. There were apparently no Saudis working at this Saudi hotel. Alan had assumed as much. There were few Saudis working anywhere, he'd been told. They imported their labor in all sectors. We must find someone appropriate to drive you, the concierge said.
—You can't just call a taxi?
—Not exactly, sir.
Alan's blood went hot, but this was a mess of his making. He thanked the man and hung up. He knew you couldn't just call a taxi in Jeddah or Riyadh — or so said the guidebooks, all of which were overwrought when it came to elucidating the dangers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to foreign travelers. The State Department had Saudi on the highest alert. Kidnapping was not unlikely. Alan might be sold to al-Qaeda, ransomed, transported across borders. But Alan had never felt in danger anywhere, and his assignments had taken him to Juarez in the nineties, Guatemala in the eighties.
* * *
The phone rang.
—We have a driver for you. When would you like him?
—As soon as possible.
—He'll be here in twelve minutes.
Alan showered and shaved his mottled neck. He put on his undershirt, his white button-down, khakis, loafers, tan socks. Just dress like an American businessman, he'd been told. There were the cautionary tales of overzealous Westerners wearing thobes, headdresses. Trying to blend in, making an effort. This effort was not appreciated.
While fixing the collar of his shirt, Alan felt the lump on his neck that he'd first discovered a month earlier. It was the size of a golf ball, protruding from his spine, feeling like cartilage. Some days he figured it was part of his spine, because what else could it be?
It could be a tumor.
There on his spine, a lump like that — it had to be invasive and deadly. Lately he'd been cloudy of thought and clumsy of gait, and it made a perfect and terrible sense that there was something growing there, eating away at him, sapping him of vitality, squeezing away all acuity and purpose.
He'd planned to see someone about it, but then had not. A doctor could not operate on something like that. Alan didn't want radiation, didn't want to go bald. No, the trick was to touch it occasionally, track attendant symptoms, touch it some more, then do nothing.
In twelve minutes Alan was ready.
He called Cayley.
—I'm leaving the hotel now.
—Good. We'll be all set up by the time you get here.
The team could get there without him, the team could set up without him. And so why was he there at all? The reasons were specious but had gotten him here. The first was that he was older than the other members of the team, all of them children, really, none beyond thirty. Second, Alan had once known King Abdullah's nephew when they had been part of a plastics venture in the mid-nineties, and Eric Ingvall, the Reliant VP in New York, felt that this was a good enough connection that it would get the attention of the King. Probably not true, but Alan had chosen not to change their minds.
Alan was happy for the work. He needed the work. The eighteen months or so before the call from Ingvall had been humbling. Filing a tax return for $22,350 in taxable income was an experience he hadn't expected to have at his age. He'd been home consulting for seven years, each year with dwindling revenue. No one was spending. Even five years ago business had been good; old friends threw him work, and he was useful to them. He'd connect them with vendors he knew, pull favors, cut deals, cut fat. He'd felt worthwhile.
Now he was fifty-four years old and was as intriguing to corporate America as an airplane built from mud. He could not find work, could not sign clients. He had moved from Schwinn to Huffy to Frontier Manufacturing Partners to Alan Clay Consulting to sitting at home watching DVDs of the Red Sox winning the Series in '04 and '07. The game when they hit four consecutive home runs against the Yankees. April 22, 2007. He'd watched those four and a half minutes a hundred times and each viewing brought him something like joy. A sense of rightness, of order. It was a victory that could never be taken away.
Alan called the concierge.
—Is the car there?
—I'm sorry, he will be late.
—Is this the guy from Jakarta?
—It is.
—Hi again, Edward. How late will the car be?
—Twenty more minutes. Can I send some food up to you?
Alan went to the window and looked out. The Red Sea was calm, unremarkable from this height. A six-lane highway ran just alongside it. A trio of men in white fished at the pier.
Alan looked at the balcony next to his. He could see his reflection in the glass. He looked like an average man. When shaved and dressed, he passed for legitimate. But something had darkened under his brow. His eyes had retreated and people were noticing. At his last high school reunion, a man, a former football player whom Alan had despised, said, Alan Clay, you've got a thousand-mile stare. What happened to you?
A gust of wind came from the sea. In the distance, a container ship moved across the water. Here and there a few other boats, tiny as toys.
There had been a man next to him on the flight from Boston to London. He was drinking gin and tonics and monologuing.
—It was good for a while, right? he'd said. What was it, thirty years or so? Maybe twenty, twenty-two? But it was over, without a doubt it was, and now we had to be ready to join western Europe in an era of tourism and shopkeeping. Wasn't that the gist of what that man on the plane had said? Something like that.
He wouldn't shut up, and the drinks kept coming.
—We've become a nation of indoor cats, he'd said. A nation of doubters, worriers, overthinkers. Thank God these weren't the kind of Americans who settled this country. They were a different breed! They crossed the country in wagons with wooden wheels! People croaked along the way, and they barely stopped. Back then, you buried your dead and kept moving.
The man, who was drunk and maybe unhinged, too, was, like Alan, born into manufacturing and somewhere later got lost in worlds tangential to the making of things. He was soaking himself in gin and tonics and was finished with it all. He was on his way to France, to retire near Nice, in a small house his father had built after WWII. That was that.
Alan had humored the man, and they had compared some thoughts about China, Korea, about making clothes in Vietnam, the rise and fall of the garment industry in Haiti, the price of a good room in Hyderabad. Alan had spent a few decades with bikes, then bounced around between a dozen or so other stints, consulting, helping companies compete through ruthless efficiency, robots, lean manufacturing, that kind of thing. And yet year by year, there was less work for a guy like him. People were done manufacturing on American soil. How could he or anyone argue for spending five to ten times what it cost in Asia? And when Asian wages rose to untenable levels — $5 an hour, say — there was Africa. The Chinese were already making sneakers in Nigeria. Jack Welch said manufacturing should be on a perpetual barge, circling the globe for the cheapest conditions possible, and it seemed the world had taken him at his word. The man on the plane wailed in protest: It should matter where something was made!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Greg Zipadelli, crew chief both times Tony Stewart ran the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, is no fan of the grueling doubleheader.
It's a position he made clear last October to Danica Patrick as she was trying to put together an Indy 500 deal that would interfere with her first full season of Sprint Cup racing.
"I think it's the craziest thing I've ever heard," Zipadelli said last year of Patrick's desire to run at Indianapolis. "I lived through it twice with one of the greatest racers I've ever seen, and trying to run both of those races is just stupid. She needs to focus on the Cup car if that's what she wants to do. If she's here to be in NASCAR, then she needs to be here focused on NASCAR."
Patrick heeded that advice and halted her plans. Stewart, the three-time NASCAR champion, also took a pass when Roger Penske in December offered him a ride in the 500.
Now Zipadelli has a new problem on his hands: Kurt Busch, the newest addition at Stewart-Haas Racing, said he's still trying to put together a deal to run next year's Indianapolis 500 with Andretti Autosport.
"It's something that's still on the table," Busch said Tuesday when he was introduced at SHR. "There's certain timelines that I've agreed to with Michael Andretti if we're still going to do the deal. We're working on things."
Busch is also trying to put something together to run the IndyCar season finale at Fontana, and said Stewart, his new boss at SHR, wants to go to the race with him if he does.
It was enough to make Zipadelli, the competition director at SHR, wince several times.
Stewart, the co-owner at SHR, is sidelined the rest of the year with a broken leg suffered in a sprint car race, and Zipadelli has said several times there's not much anyone can do to limit Stewart's outside racing schedule. But running events away from NASCAR is obviously a delicate subject right now.
"There's still the concern of running extracurricular races," Busch said. "We'll see what opportunities lay ahead. Everything has to be the right situation for it to happen."
Zipadelli tried to keep his humor intact when asked later about the prospect of having three SHR drivers interested in running the Indy 500 next year.
"Maybe I'll try to do it, too," he quipped. "They make it sound so much fun."
LAST SUPPER: Rodney Childers called his last race for Michael Waltrip Racing at Bristol on Saturday night and was shown the door this week over his decision to leave at the end of the season.
MWR released Childers as crew chief for Brian Vickers this week over his decision not to return next season. He's still under contract until the end of the year, and tweeted a photo of a lunch Monday with his crew titled "the last supper."
MWR will use vice president of competition Scott Miller as crew chief for Vickers the rest of the season, while team engineer Billy Scott will take on additional responsibilities with the car setup. Childers is expected to join Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014 as crew chief for Kevin Harvick, but SHR competition director Greg Zipadelli said the deal isn't complete.
"I feel like we're in a good spot, but we don't have it done yet," Zipadelli said. "Hopefully in the next week to 10 days it will be done and official."
MWR parting ways now with Childers is not surprising since manufacturer Toyota does not want him to play a role in 2014 development knowing he's going to work for a Chevrolet team.
BECAUSE HE CAN: Tony Stewart has taken some heat the last month for his decision to let Ryan Newman go to make room for Kevin Harvick to join the team.
Stewart said in July he just didn't have room at Stewart-Haas Racing for Newman, who doesn't have full sponsorship for 2014, and the organization wasn't ready for four cars.
Fans didn't understand why Danica Patrick, who is fully funded by sponsor GoDaddy, got to stay instead of Newman. Then they didn't understand why Stewart didn't change his mind after Newman's win July 28 win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
And when word leaked that SHR was indeed expanding to four teams to make room for Kurt Busch? Well, fans screamed Stewart was just a flat-out liar.
SHR co-owner Gene Haas insisted this week Stewart did everything right and it was Haas who wanted Busch over Newman. Haas is paying for Busch out of pocket and will sponsor him with his Haas Automation company.
"Ryan has been an excellent driver. He's been with us going on five years now. I think he's done a great job driving the car. I think he's been a great sponsor driver. He's done well at all of that," Haas said. "The question is, at some point I am now going to be the sponsor. I just simply wanted a change and an opportunity to do something different. I don't think this says anything negative about Ryan.
"After five years, I just feel that I want to take hold of an opportunity that was presented to me. It gives me a chance to, you know, be a sponsor and direct things the way I wanted to direct them."
Haas also said he didn't have a chance to direct things when he brought Stewart in as co-owner in 2009. It was Stewart who set the driver lineup then, choosing himself and Newman for the two-car team, and Haas had little say.
"Tony Stewart is somewhat of an overwhelming personality. When he came in here, Haas CNC Racing had no credibility — we were a small, struggling team in the back that would have died out and nobody would have noticed," Haas said. "When Tony came in, Tony selected himself as a driver. That made perfect sense. He also selected Ryan Newman as his co-driver. That relationship effectively lasted for four years until Danica Patrick came on. The die was set, it was cast, that was the way it was going to be. Wasn't much wiggle room for me to do much."
YOUNG WINNER: Kyle Benjamin became the youngest winner in ARCA Racing Series history when he won at Madison International Speedway in Wisconsin.
Benjamin, who turns 16 in November, led 131 laps to win Sunday by seven seconds in a Venturini Motorsports car.
"It's definitely the biggest thing that has ever happened to me," Benjamin said. "I'm ecstatic right now. I'm not going to sleep tonight. I'm not going to sleep."
Venturini Crew Chief Kevin Reed was impressed by Benjamin's run that saw him change just two tires for the entire 200 lap race.
"Kyle's been awesome all year," Reed said. "He was just flawless today."
Reigning NASCAR Truck Series champion James Buescher had been the youngest winner in series history, winning at USA International in Lakeland, Fla., two days shy of his 16th birthday in 2007. Ross Kenseth, son of NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Matt Kenseth, won the pole and finished sixth in his ARCA debut.
The race will air on NBC Sports Network at 11 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29. Matt Kenseth joined fellow NASCAR driver Ken Schrader in the broadcast booth for the race.

The Huntington University baseball team survived a late rally by host Goshen College in the second game of a doubleheader on Saturday, April 20, winning 3-2, to get a sweep on the day..
Cody Walters threw a two-hit shutout and Blake Ayers had three hits as the Foresters, 9-19 and 9-9 in the Crossroads League, pounded the Maple Leafs in the opener, 9-0.
Hits came at a premium in game two as Huntington's Kyle Zerfas and Goshen's Spencer Oversen dueled on the pitcher's mound. Zerfas limited the Maple Leafs to five pokes while Oversen held the Foresters to just two.
Huntington, however, made the most of its chances. Adam Christner doubled to right-center in the first inning Ayers brought him home a batter later on a groundout, giving the Foresters the early 1-0 lead.
The contest stayed scoreless until the top of the fifth, when Huntington got its other smack against Oversen, a Josh Lanphier single that kicked off the inning. Things unraveled further for the Goshen hurler after that, as Lanphier advanced to second on a wild pitch and Brian Kirschbaum reached base on one of only two walks that Oversen issued for the game.
A wild throw by Oversen following a Bryce Anderson bunt led to Lanphier scoring, Kirschbaum taking third and Anderson reaching second. Brock Gower brought home Kirschbaum after that on a sacrifice fly to right. Oversen got the next two Forester batters out, but the damage had already been done as Huntington pushed its lead to 3-0.
Zerfas had a 1-2-3 inning in the Maple Leafs' half of the fifth, but ran out of gas like his Goshen counterpart when he took the mound in the bottom of the sixth, after Oversen's relief, Zach Thompson, held the Foresters scoreless.
The Maple Leafs banged out three singles against Zerfas, with the third one by Bryan Aponte plating Matt Austin. Goshen picked up another run on a fielder's choice, but Kirschbaum came on to get the next two batters to snuff the rally.
Matt Austin and Bryan Aponte each had two hits for the Maple Leafs, 3-26, 2-24 in the Crossroads league, with the latter recording an RBI.
Zerfas' 5.1 innings of work got him the win while Oversen took the loss.
Huntington had a lopsided pitching advantage in the first game as Walters went the distance for the Foresters and ceded only two hits while Alex Mosbarger surrendered 11 for the Maple Leafs.
Huntington took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning when Jamon Hammel singled to left-center, bringing home Ayers. The scoring flood gates, however, opened in the top of the seventh for the Foresters when they torched Mosbarger for six hits and eight runs, pushing their lead to an overwhelming 9-0, which stood up.
Anderson, Marc Bowers and Jordan Klopfenstein led Huntington two RBI apiece, and Gower and Lanphier added two hits and and an RBI apiece.
Armington and Brandon Wright had Goshen's pair of hits.

How telescopes "see"
Almost all telescopes use mirrors to gather and focus the light from objects in the night sky. But mirrors reverse the image. So why use mirrors instead of lenses to focus the light?
The most important reason is that the optics (that is, the mirrors or lenses that focus light) of a good telescope must be nearly perfect. The mirror or lens must be just the right shape and the surface must be perfectly smooth and polished. In the case of a lens, even the inside must be perfect. Otherwise, the image appears distorted.
Lens—not so good
The larger the light-gathering surface (that is, the lens or mirror), the brighter the image. The brighter the image, the fainter the stars that can be seen. A lens (like in a pair of eyeglasses or a magnifying glass) must be very large and very thick if it is to be very powerful. Unfortunately, a big lens is a heavy lens.
Not only must the front and back surfaces be perfect, but the inside must also be perfect, because the light passes through the whole lens. Any flaws in the lens will ruin the image. It would be like looking through some kinds of shower doors or warped windows.
Mirror—much better
A mirror, on the other hand, can be very thin, even if it is large. It just has to have the right curved shape. And there is only one surface to clean and polish. It is much easier to make a large, near-perfect mirror than to make a large, near-perfect lens.
Mirrors, by the way, since they are much lighter weight than lenses, are a lot easier to boost into orbit, too, whether Earth orbit or solar (Sun) orbit.

Downtown Apex got a little more colorful over the weekend.
About two dozen people wrapped light poles, benches, trash receptacles and more along Salem Street with knitted material on Sunday evening.
Michele Riggs, who owns DownTown Knits in Apex, helped plan the "yarn bomb," in which knitters and crocheters blanket everything in sight.
"This has never been done before (in Apex)," Riggs said. "We thought it would be really fun."

World Wide Knit in Public Day, recognized on the second Saturday of June each year, was first celebrated in 2005. Since then, the event has turned into a weeklong affair, this year from June 14-22.
Apex is home to a large knitting community, Riggs said. Her store accepted donations of knitted material for the yarn bomb.
"We had people donating pieces they made from all over the Triangle," Riggs said. "I had a pile in the back of my store that was four feet high."
Karla Jacobus, 54, of Cary said she took part in the event because she figured it would be fun.
"DownTown Knits has a great community," Jacobus said. "I have made great friends and learned a lot."
Riggs also has something else to celebrate this month. June marks the four-year anniversary for DownTown Knits. The shop hosted a fashion show for local artists to strut their stuff and model their work on Friday.
"I had the opportunity to do something different," Riggs said of her store. "We're really about community, and the shop doubles as a gathering space for knitters."
As for the yarn bomb, Riggs said, "Our main goal is to create out-of-the-box thinking and provide awareness of the craft."

okay, sounds good.
Hi Lisa,
No problem on not replying back until now... I just hope it is not another 11 months before you reply to this message : )
Great, on wanting to play. I'm also interested in playing. I begun playing a coworker about every other week on Tuesday nights, but we have only played about 5 times... and we play out of town so it is not often enough.
I got to notice how rusty I was but I am much better now after having played with him. My serve still needs some work to be consistent.
It is a bit too hot to play anytime but early in the morning. Are you free this Saturday or Sunday in the morning? My cell number is 559 840 5839, feel free to text me (or even call me).
I am located in NW Fresno, so decent courts would be at Bullard High School, but I'm willing to go to a place which is more convenient for you if you would like.
alright- take care,
Hi Lisa, i read your comment, i sent ya full details in your inbox about my reply. Let me know if your interested, have a good night.
Hi Lisa,
Yes, I'm interested in playing. Funny, I am also from San Diego.

6. Is the Pioneer Village part of Caesar's Creek Park?
The Pioneer Village is not directly associated with Caesar's Creek Park. We lease the land from the park but we are not associated with them in any other way.

"Keeping it simple" would be dropping the language selection completely and using environment, as other applications do. But I guess you do not want do that. But you mean, use a specific directory for VDR locales, like /usr/share/vdr/locale? If you do not wish to use the standard location, fine with me. However, the "LanguageName$English" problem still applies, if there is some directory in the VDR localedir that does not have a VDR translation, but e.g. only for some plugin. -- Anssi Hannula _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list email@example.com http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

The End Is Near . . . For Whom?
Finally, the Casey Anthony trial is near an end. Today, the defense is expected to rest its case, a moment that should elicit a collective sigh of relief out of everyone who has been following the proceedings. I feel as if I've been watching a train wreck in slow-mo over the last week, knowing full well that I should turn my head to avoid seeing the carnage. But like everyone else I couldn't take my eyes off witness stand.
I don't think it's necessary to do a play-by-play of the case, or explain how Assistant State Attorney Jeff Ashton shredded some of the defense's key expert witnesses. No, this post is about some particular events that could influence the outcome of the trial, and I'll start with Cindy Anthony.
When Cindy took the stand and said that she Googled chloroform on the family desktop in March of 2008, she undercut the State's theory that it was Casey who researched it, made it, and murdered her daughter with it. However, the State likely will present rebuttal witnesses from Gentiva, where Cindy was employed as a nurse, who will testify that she worked those days and couldn't have been anywhere else. In the end, the jury will see through Cindy's attempt to take a bullet for Casey.
Dominic Casey is a private investigator who originally worked for Baez. He later worked for George and Cindy. In November 2008 he and another investigator searched the woods on Suburban Drive, looking for Caylee's body. Who sent them there? Dominic said it was a psychic. On direct examination of Cindy, Baez asked her if she sent the private investigators to the woods. She said no, adding she had no knowledge of the search.
Then Baez called Lee Anthony to the stand, and he told a different story. He testified that his mother had sent the private investigators to look for Caylee's body, a decision that led to an argument. Lee said he was very angry with his mother because the search she ordered was the first time anyone in the Anthony family acknowledged that Caylee might be dead. His testimony contradicted his mother's, fueling suspicions that Cindy has repeatedly lied on the stand.
What makes Lee so believable is that he's got nothing to lose by telling the truth. Why would he lie to make his mother look like bad? In making Cindy out to be a liar, Baez had just unwittingly undermined her credibility as his chloroform-searching scapegoat. After all is said and done, the jury will view Cindy as untrustworthy, meaning she did more to harm her daughter's defense than help it.
Throughout this trial, the only Anthony family member who still has his credibility intact is George. Lee was a credible witness, but he came off as just plain weird at times. What guy cries over being left out of his sister's baby shower?
When George last took the stand Wednesday, Baez did his best to break him down. He accused George of molesting his daughter since she was a child. No one in the courtroom was buying it, including the jury. As a matter of fact, they seemed to have a little empathy for him. When Baez badgered him about the odor in Casey's car and questioned whether he really knew what caused it, the former cop in George came out : "HOW DARE YOU TRY TO TELL ME IT'S SOMETHING ELSE!. I KNOW WHAT I SMELLED THAT DAY!"
With those two sentences, George emphatically declared that Casey had carried a decomposing body in her car. Baez had gift wrapped a defense witness and handed it to the State as a present. Time and again he has helped the State make its case against Casey. As the questioning continued, jurors seemed glued to George. Were they feeling sympathy for him? He appeared to be a broken man at times, but he was fighting back as Baez hurled one tawdry insinuation at him after another.
Baez brought up George's suicide attempt. He picked up a copy of the lengthy suicide note George wrote, holding it up for the jury to see. Baez implied that George was driven to attempt suicide out of guilt. And to hear Baez tell it, George had every reason to have a guilty conscience. He had molested his daughter and was involved in Caylee's death, or at least in covering it up after she drowned in the family pool. He had had an affair while he was supposed to be a distraught grandfather searching for Caylee. He is a shady character who lies to protect himself while his daughter faces the death penalty. He cries on the stand for no one but himself.
That's the picture Baez tried to paint of George, but I think the jury saw a much different portrait emerge in the courtroom.
George's grief over the disappearance and death of Caylee was genuine. He couldn't deal with the loss, and suicide would be a way to end the pain while bringing him closer to Caylee. When his testimony ended, George walked back to his seat wearing his emotions on his face. Still, he held his head high, glaring in anger at his daughter. I wondered at that moment if he had an epiphany, that "Oh, my God!" moment in which he realized his little girl is really the monster she is accused of being.
And Casey? Just like any other day in court, her stare was as cold and distant as the dark side of the moon. Her blank expression was not lost on anyone in the courtroom, least of all the jury.
Please limit comments to the blog's subject matter. Comments containing profanity and/or personal attacks will not be published.
I think Lee is the most purely honest person in his family. Yes, he is quirky -- but appears most trustworthy. He also seems to have the most selfless type of care for Casey.
I totally agree that George has very real emotions about Caylee, and I really feel for him in that regard. However, if he drove Casey's car off the lot and apparently KNEW it was the smell of decomposition and then just went on to work -- no call to the police amd no other action taken -- that is wrong, in a myriad of ways. There are some character flaws showing by his inaction that day. Then later, we see him rather glibbly talk to police about him knowing it was a dead body smell.
And don't even get me started on his trips to see this Ms. Holloway person. Even if we assume it was not a sexual affair, going to a single woman's condo several times (as a married man) to "comfort" her is beyond inappropriate. It is disrespectful to his wife and squishy. Just ask any married woman! I do think he was NOT forthright in his amswers on all of that.
Also, George is very off-putting to me many times, with his bravado on the stand when Baez is questioning him. George oftentimes seems like a Drama King and self-righteous and self-serving in how he answers. He really does seem like he is trying to out-macho Baez, as if it is a game. He seems to completely lose focus on what is most important.
No, I cannot say I trust George Anthony. I feel for him in some regards, but I do not trust him.
Baez has proven that all the Anthony family members are liars with Casey as the beloved Princess to her Prnce, King and Queen of Lies!
All is questionable... a family of sociopaths.
Crystal Holloway is VERY BELIEVABLE on the stand. Unlike George, she doesn't sound rehearsed or contrived or pompous. She is REAL, and the jury will believe her. The talking heads are saying the same thing.
This probably means the jury will believe George lied about the affair. That does not mean he hid the body or abused Casey and etc., but it does hurt his credibility, and I think that will play into what the jury decides. It could help lower the charge because they can't totally believe George.
Great article, Dave! My heart really went out to George on the stand yesterday. I found him to be genuine and believable. Cindy's lies are going to come out during the State's rebuttal case and I can't wait. I believe that Lee has told some lies on the witness stand also. I am anxious to see what Baez is going to do to Lee when he gets on the stand today before they rest their case. I think they will ask him about molesting Casey. Will he tell the truth or will he lie? We will find out shortly. I am looking forward to this case being over. I find it has been draining for me and I am not in the court room like you are. I can only imagine how draining it has been on you. Many thanks to you, Dave for being in the court room for us and being our eyes and ears and writing your observations on what happens each day in court. It is really appreciated!
Krystal Hollaway is an opportunist who loves the lime light. She didn't love it so much on the stand, too bad. In the end it means nothing, the judge read a statement to the jury that they couldn't consider it for the truth in the manner of death, only to impeach George. Maybe it did and maybe it didn't, I think it was a wash. There has been no defined defense....they're all over the map. The longer this case goes on the more Casey looks to be cold and calculating and that is not good for the defense. I think the prosecution team is the best I've ever seen and I watch a lot of trials on In Session.
Dave, I have been following your blogs for a long time and I must say that I don't agree that George is the only person telling the truth. He is not credible in my opinion. There are too many weird instances where he cant remember or doesn't want to give a yes or no answer, so he's not implicated in anyway. He is protecting his own butt and no one else's. Today when asked about the duct tape, he wouldn't say it was his. How many people own duct tape with the Henkle logo? Is it that common? His character is flawed and he's very combative with the defense attorney. I personally think he wants his daughter found guilty of these crimes. How could someone, Casey Anthony, who seems to have very little common sense plan a perfect murder? No DNA, no finger prints, etc....but her dad could because he's a former cop!
We suspect Ms. Holloway's testimony has caused sober second thought for the female members of the jury, and they've lost all sympathy for George by now.
WOW!! I did not expect to see such a varied array of opinions on the recent witnesses that testified.
First off, Krystal Halloway sold her story to, above all, the National Enquirer! And she thought this was a reputable rag that would tell her story truthfully?? She evidently does not spend too much time in supermarket checkout lines!
I believe that Lee was very upset when he was not included in casey's pregnancy. He is a member of the family and by all accounts he and casey were close. So why would he be cut out about the baby?? I can imagine that would cause some hard feelings.
One only has to look at Cindy to know that, or at least assume, that she was the head of that household and George was the man that could not do anything right. He could not hold a job. He lost a large amount of money on get rich schemes, and he could not, or would not, hold casey responsible for her lies and stealing. Stealing from not only her parents but her grandparents and friends, as well.
I am sure that George knew, or at least suspected that casey did not have a job. If she did she would not have to steal gas from the shed, nor would her parents have to hand her money on a regular basis. I believe that George did not confront casey on these issues because of Cindy's refusal to admit that anything was wrong. Cindy allowed the stealing from the family to go on to the point of nearly losing the family home. And George did nothing about it. I believe this is his only guilt.
As for casey being able to plan the "perfect murder", well, that did not turn out so well for her. There appears to be enough circumstantial evidence to convict her. Maybe not for first degree murder, but for some lesser degree. If she had been smart she would not have kept Caylee's body in the trunk until the decomposition was to the point that it was when the car was found. And, if she was so smart she would have told the truth the first day and begged for mercy spent minimal time in jail.

Slaughter Night (SL8N8) (US - DVD R1)
Gabe probably wouldn't have taken a trip to a haunted mine, but that's just him.
Kristel (Victoria Koblenko, not like the champagne) is a little shaken up by the untimely and violent death of her father, which is why she decides to take a trip to the haunted mine he was studying at his ghost insistence (or so I got out of the scene). She and her friends are quickly trapped in the mine with the spirit of a child murderer, who has the ability to possess their bodies and make them do unpleasant things to each other. Kristel loses her friends, but still finds love and a way out, thanks to her father's spirit that converses with her through a very fortunately packed Ouiji board.
It seems I've been seeing a lot of predictable slasher movies lately. It's not that there's anything wrong with the slasher genre or its super-standardized plotting, but it's definitely gotten a bit old. Well, old again, I suppose it was old in the '80s. Scream kind of killed the genre, for better or worse in the '90s by lampooning it so accurately it kind of hurt. The Final Destination films removed the killer and set elaborate Rube Goldbergish deaths for its victims. Saw (love it or hate it, I thought it was OK) put a twist on the formula by setting up booby traps that required the victims to kill themselves. With a few exceptions (I enjoyed the copy of Bloody Reunion I was sent last month) the genre is dying. Again. Well creatively.
Slaughter Night, called SL8N8 in its original Dutch (which makes sense because eight is spelled 'acht', 'slaughter' is spelled 'slacht' and 'night' spelled 'nacht'), wins a few points for not being a pure slasher film. It's also part possession flick, so it's kind of like Evil Dead meets My Bloody Valentine. Or better yet, Shocker in a mine. The plot is still incredibly predictable, and the characters all archetypes that are possessed and/or die in pretty much the exact order you'd expect. They also make all kinds of stupid choices, the kind that the kids from the Scream franchise would crucify them for.
I want to know what type of person decides to go to a haunted mine after losing their father in a very emotionally devastating car crash? For that matter, while we're suspending our disbeliefs, what kind of ghost dad encourages his distraught daughter to go into a haunted mine?
I suppose we have to judge the film on what it is, and it is a shock and awe gore flick. Based on these guidelines the film is still only a modest success. It's definitely gory, but there isn't any innovation to the admittedly frequent deaths. A head bisected at the mouth with a shovel would be way cooler had I not already seen it done in Day of the Dead, way back in 1985, and behind the head throat slits are sooooo 1981. So far as the scare or suspense factors, I didn't get much of either out of the film, and I'm pretty sure that the by-the-number approach probably won't scare too many other viewers either.
The performances are decent, but the only likeable character is the semi-virginal heroine, making it difficult to give a damn about any of these decent actors as they're slachted. The art direction is nice and layered, but the camera work is thoroughly obnoxious. I'm not 100% set against arbitrary camera moves or the hand-held look, but the arbitrary and persistently shaky camera work here is a real pain in the ass. The film must have been nauseated in theaters. There are some nice set-ups and lighting schemes, but they're often quickly sabotaged by the quaking camera.
And what's the deal with the strangely un-poignant fades to black throughout? Perhaps commercial breaks for the TV version? Strange.
If I didn't know better, I'd say this was a NTSC to PAL conversion on an NTSC DVD. That can't be possible though, right? But I swear I noticed PAL speedup throughout. Maybe it was just the constantly shaky camera work playing tricks on my eyes. Regardless, this is another interlaced transfer from Tartan, and it really shows. There's combing here and there, but the big problem are the overlapping images. The film's opening, a shaky-cam chase, is especially ripe with doubling images. On the good hand, blacks are very deep, and details sharp enough that I could tell what was going on most of the time.
For a new flick the DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks are pretty weak. The surround channels are busy, and things rarely become muddled, but there's a definite lack of oomph here. The LFE is deep, but lacks punch, making the film's many jump scares unnecessarily quiet. During the opening scenes we get a full-on rave, complete with a track overwhelming pumping bass, and a violent car accident, both standard surround sound standbys, but neither stands out. The DTS track is the louder, but still lacks the usual 'bam' such a track requires.
This disc contains the usual Tartan assortment. The featurette is very obviously made for TV, and is an uninspired mix of interviews and film footage. Lots and lots of film footage. There's a little bit of on set footage tossed in for good measure. The interviews feature excited directors and actors who just can't wait for us to see their movie.
There's a short blooper reel, mostly consisting of actors forgetting their line (really never all that funny), and a few pratfalls. The tartan trailer reel closes things out. This is not an 'Asia Extreme' release, so I didn't have to sit through the unskippable promo this time.
I'm way to lenient on slasher flicks. I assume they aren't going to do much beyond presenting a few graphic murders, and usually judge them on this intent, but after seeing about a gillion of them I'm losing my patients for a constant lack of ingenuity. There's really nothing here to recommend this film other than a few decent (but kind of uninteresting) kills and a likable and pretty lead. The cinematography might have been a selling point had the camera stayed still for more than a second. Slaughter Night is a misfire pretty much all around, but not a completely inept piece of junk.

Your reviews of late seem to suggest that you're getting a bit fed up with horror films in general. Is that the case, or are you just fed up with horror films that are just made for the sake of being made?

I'm a horror geek first, animation geek second, movie geek third, so I put up with the garbage horror in hopes that I'll get something good in the future. Truthfully there hasn't been a truley great horror film in a very very long time, and I look forward to the older stuff I get from Anchor Bay a little more. That Mario Bava set made my month.

The heat wave is over. Today will be absolutely gorgeous with sunny skies and a cooling breeze with a high of 78 degrees. It drops down to about 50 (some sports may see upper 40s!) tonight under clear skies. Thursday is looking just as nice as today but maybe a few degrees cooler.
Unfortunately, we get into a stormy pattern starting Friday night with a chance of rain through the weekend. It won't be a total washout but it definitely won't be dry and sunny. Enjoy today and Thursday if you can.

Let's Stay Together
Al Green
Let's Stay Together
A more mercurial character than Al Green would be hard to find. So would a more romantic soul balladeer. From the moment Memphis producer Willie Mitchell began molding him into a singular performer at Hi Records, stardom was assured. His lilting tenor conveyed love and intimacy like no other soul man of his era.
Born April 13, 1946 in tiny Dansby, Arkansas, Al Greene grew up in rural Jacknash, Ark. His family toiled as sharecroppers until relocating to Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1955. Al's dad was religious, and when he learned his son had joined an R&B vocal group during the mid-'60s, he was evicted from the family domicile. The young singer persevered, his Creations making a 1967 single for the Zodiac label that stiffed. But their manager Lee Virgis launched his own label, the oddly monikered Hot Line Music Journal, and Al Greene & The Soul Mates waxed the ethereal Back Up Train, penned by Soul Mates Palmer James and Curtis Rodgers.
"Palmer James and Curtis and all those boys, they did such a great job with that music," says Green. "They kind of discovered me." Larry Uttal's New York-based Bell Records picked up national distribution. In early '68, Back Up Train chugged to #5 R&B and #41 pop. ""It was my first song ever, so I have a special kind of a bond to it," says Green. "I thought it was a good song, and it sold real good."
Yet The Soul Mates broke up. Green dropped the second 'e' from his name, and he was scuffling when herode a Greyhound bus into Midland, Texas for a late '68 gig. Mitchell was the bandleader that fateful night. "He wanted to get his fare back home," said the late Mitchell. "I told him he could do a couple of tunes with the band that night, and I would help him get back. When I heard him sing, I said, 'Well, he needs to go back to Memphis with me.' So I asked him if he would like to go. I said, 'You can be a star!' He said, 'How long would it take?' I said, 'About 18 months.' He said, 'I don't have that long to wait!' Anyway, he did come back to Memphis, and we started working, trying to figure out a new style for him."
Green's first Hi single, a pulverizing revival of The Beatles' I Want To Hold Your Hand, didn't reverse Al's fortunes. "I suggested singing it to Willie," said Green. "He had asked me, 'I Want To Hold Your Hand?' I went like, 'Yeah, it's a great song!'" But things turned around. Green's blues-drenched cover of The Temptations' I Can't Get Next To You just missed the R&B Top Ten in 1970. Then Al wrote the gorgeous Tired Of Being Alone, his first gold record in '71.
"I had a certain style. I used to be a jazz player too, so we started coming up with jazz chords--pretty music on the top, and heavy on the bottom. And it just clicked," said Mitchell. "You could see the prettier music from 'Tired Of Being Alone.' Different changes, the nice bouncy rhythm on the bottom. So you could see that Al's voice was changing. I was trying to get him to sing softer."
That formula hit its zenith on Al's magical across-the-board chart-topper Let's Stay Together, which entered the R&B hit parade shortly before the end of '71. "Al was over in Europe. And I came up with the music, and when he got back to Memphis he put the lyrics over it. We had come up with the style of the drums and everything, so that clicked," said Mitchell, who asked the young singer to supply lyrics. Green dashed off whatever popped into his head while sitting in the lobby of Willie's Royal Recording Studios. Also in on the musical side of the song's creation was Booker T. & The MG's drummer Al Jackson, Jr., who ended up playing on it too, moving Howard Grimes over to congas. "Al wanted Al to play on his session, so Al came over from Stax," says Howard. "It gave Hi another elevation of rhythm, with Al (Jackson) playing and me playing."
"I was trying to get him to sing softer," said Mitchell. "So we finally persuaded him on 'Let's Stay Together,' him singing softer and not screaming so loud." That wasn't easy for Green. "Oh man, I had to work on that," he says. "Man, it took him a long time to do it, I'll tell you that. 'Cause I had shoutin' on my mind!" Green didn't envision Let's Stay Together being a hit, much less the monster that it became. Fortunately, Mitchell had the last word, and Al had his trademark feathery vocal sound that would move millions of Hi platters during the '70s.

It is the GNU project's 30th birthday, and we are pleased to announce version 0.5 of the GNU Hurd.
The GNU Hurd is the GNU project's replacement for the Unix kernel. It is a collection of servers that run on the Mach microkernel to implement file systems, network protocols, file access control, and other features that are implemented by the Unix kernel or similar kernels (such as Linux).
A bit late, but there you have it. Does anyone here actually use Hurd?

Torvalds covered his beefs with KDE in depth with in a 2009 interview with Computerworld:
"I used to be a KDE user. I thought KDE 4.0 was such a disaster, I switched to GNOME. I hate the fact that my right button doesn't do what I want it to do. But the whole "break everything" model is painful for users, and they can choose to use something else. I realize the reason for the 4.0 release, but I think they did it badly. They did so may changes, it was a half-baked release. It may turn out to be the right decision in the end, and I will retry KDE, but I suspect I'm not the only person they lost."
This is of course after, in 2005, saying:
"I personally just encourage people to switch to KDE. This 'users are idiots, and are confused by functionality' mentality of Gnome is a disease. If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it. I don't use Gnome, because in striving to be simple, it has long since reached the point where it simply doesn't do what I need it to do. Please, just tell people to use KDE."
Is this evidence that Linus Torvalds is hot-headed and hard-to-please, or is it just indicative of the overall dysfunction of Linux desktop environments in general? Or is it an indictment of the open source collaborative development system not being well suited for something as personal and subjective as GUI design?

For sure, the drop in prices is huge in my neighborhood. From my affordable rental apartment, I've seen prices drop from the $1 million-range to $600,000-- and still there are very few buyers or offers. Hmmm. I remember when some of those homes were selling for only $200,000 to $300,000 and my memory is not that long.
Oh well. Based on the inventory that I see in my local market, I'm willing to sit on the sidelines for the next two years or so. I'm looking for advice:
So, please drop me a note (email) or a comment with your estimate about the length of the housing slump. When do you think the market will hit bottom?
In the meantime, I will continue to get my fiscal house in order. Due to a few new opportunities, I will be saving more money. These tips from CCCS make sense to me, especially the recommendation about considering the total costs of home ownership.
"CCCS suggests that all consumers consider the following before buying a home:
- Know why you want to buy. There are many advantages to owning your own home, including the building of equity and the potential tax savings. Current housing prices and mortgage rates may also make it more appealing. It is important to understand why you want to buy a home and why now is the right time for you.
- The big picture-what owning your own home really costs. It is easy to get so caught up in the excitement of buying a home that we don't take the time to investigate the real costs associated with purchasing and maintaining it. The down payment, closing costs, and insurance are all significant investments you will make before you even get to move in. Once you move in, there may be repairs that need to be made or necessities that need to be purchased, such as appliances or window treatments. Once you move in, there are other costs to consider. You may need to outfit your shed or garage with a lawnmower and other maintenance tools. If you live in a neighborhood with a clubhouse, a gated entrance, or other community amenities, you will likely have monthly or quarterly association fees. Utilities may be higher in your new home. You are now responsible for property taxes and homeowners' insurance. By taking a realistic view of the costs of home ownership, you will be better prepared to determine how much you are prepared to spend on your new home.
- Shopping for a home. Identifying what you need in a new home is an important first step. If you aren't prepared to make repairs or changes to a house yourself, you might consider a newer home. While you might not easily add another bedroom, don't ignore the perfect house because it doesn't have a fenced yard or swimming pool-these can always be added later. If you have or are planning to have children, you might want to focus your search around a particular school or family-friendly community. A real estate professional can help you narrow your search to homes that fit your criteria. Before purchasing any home, plan for a thorough home inspection.
- Shopping for a loan. There are many different ways to finance your home, including fixed and adjustable rate loans and varying terms. Familiarize yourself with mortgage options and consider pre-qualifying for a mortgage before you start shopping. While you may qualify for a higher mortgage amount than you thought, set a payment limit that you will be comfortable with. If you haven't checked your credit report recently, now is a great time. You can request a FREE copy of your report once every 12 months online at www.annualcreditreport.com or by calling (877) 322-8228.
- Getting started. CCCS offers free pre-purchase counseling and homebuyer education workshops for consumers on the path to homeownership. A private one-hour counseling session can help prospective homebuyers learn the basics of the process. A six-hour homebuyer education workshop will help consumers assess readiness for homeownership, take a realistic view of the costs involved in purchasing and maintaining a home, and evaluate their credit and financial situation to determine how much house they can really afford. Workshop participants will also learn about the various mortgage options and what to look for in a lender, and explore the tremendous benefits of home ownership, from stabilized housing costs and appreciation, to the many tax benefits. And for first time home buyers, the certificate you will earn may qualify you for down payment assistance or special mortgage products available through participating lending institutions.
"Whether you are buying your first home or moving to a new one, the time you spend preparing to become a homeowner is as important an investment as the home you purchase," said Jessica Cecere, president of Consumer Credit Counseling Service (CCCS) of Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast. "Realistic goals and careful planning are essential to making the best choices for you and your family."

Organic honey? Bees forage in up to a two mile radius from the hive. That's over 2000 acres. How do you certify that every nectar source within a two mile radius is organic?I would not trust any honey labeled organic. But that's just the beekeeper in me.
i pay ~$4 per lb for local raspberry, blackberry, and fireweed honey, the guy is less than a mile from my house. Find a local apiary, you should be able to get honey cheaper than $7/lb.
So then as long as the hives are kept "organically" honey made from nectar from flowers sprayed with pesticides can be labeled organic. I don't think so.
As far as I know, there isn't any real organic honey. Here, varroa mites are so widespread that if you didn't treat for them, you'd have no bees but I don't know how bad they are in other areas (my dad kept bees for years and I dabbled in beekeeping for many years until work got too busy to do it properly).

And another popular Linux distribution pushes a new release out the door. This time around, it's openSUSE, as they just released version 12.1. Other than the usual latest and greatest version of all the open source desktops and associated tools, there's a few other interesting tidbits in this release as well.

You should be happy with opensuse 12.1 - now shipping with brand new KDE 3.5 :-D
Excuse me?
"KDE introduces Oyranos, Apper and Plasma Active
openSUSE 12.1 ships the KDE Plasma Desktop 4.7 as default workspace and is the first major Linux distribution to ship the new KolorManager + Oyranos color management tools. Another major new addition is KPackageKit replacement Apper, simplifying installation and removal of applications. "
Awesome, huh? (well i use it)
What might be of interest in terms of keeping up to date is Tumbleweed.
"Keep tumblin' and rollin'!
openSUSE 12.1 can of course also move to Tumbleweed, our cutting-edge rolling release repo which contains the latest stable versions of all software. Tumbleweed lessens the significance and change impact of major releases by updating systems continuously."
Apparently, Tumbleweed turns OpenSuSe 12.1 into a rolling-release distribution.

FYI opensuse 12.1 does have KDE 3.x option.

Yes. But FYI the default desktop for OpenSuse 12.1 is KDE SC 4.7.2.

Seven biggest surprises from NCAA tournament's Selection Sunday
1. Gonzaga gets a No. 1 seed, while Duke and Miami receive No. 2 seeds.
The Zags had the weakest strength of schedule ever by a No. 1 seed. But Mark Few's team lost only two games all season, one of which came on a buzzer beater at Butler. Miami may have won the ACC regular season and tournament titles, but losses to Wake Forest, Florida Gulf Coast and Indiana State had to weigh heavily on the committee's decision. And though Duke had a stellar season, particularly when Ryan Kelly was healthy, how could the Blue Devils gets a No. 1 seed over Miami?
BRACKET: Check out the full field of 68
MORE: Proof that bracketology is a science
The committee made the right call here. Also, you may be surprised to know that Dick Vitale disagreed with the decision to put Duke at No. 2. (Though, to be fair, he also praised the committee for seeding Gonzaga as a top seed. Then he had cake while eating it too.)
2. Middle Tennessee State gets a bid.
The Blue Raiders were going to be a key player in Selection Sunday either way. Their bid means the committee let in a team with one win over the RPI top 100. If MTSU didn't get a bid, the team would have had the most wins of any team ever left out of the tournament.
3. Louisville gets the top overall seed and the Indianapolis regional to go with it.
It was all but assumed that Indiana's path to the Final Four would go through Indianapolis. But on the final weekend of the season, Louisville stormed through the Big East tournament and earned the berth in the nearby regional. Indiana will instead travel to Washington D.C. for a potential (and juicy) Sweet 16 game with Syracuse.
(USA TODAY Sports)
4. Mid-majors gets the final at-large bids over teams from major conferences.
Where's Virginia? How about Tennessee? Et tu, Testudo? The biggest schools saw the little guys like Boise State, La Salle, MTSU and St. Mary's take bids that long belonged to them. I'd be giving a standing ovation, if it was possible to type while standing and applauding.
HAPPY DAYS: Teams celebrating Selection Sunday
The major conference teams with burst bubbles had countless opportunities to win their way into the tournament. Would Virginia beat La Salle in a best-of-seven series? Probably, but they didn't win the big games when it mattered. Give the little guy a shot to do so.
(USA TODAY Sports)
5. Kentucky stays home.
This wasn't a surprise in the moment -- the Wildcats weren't expected to receive a bid on Sunday. However, they become the first team in more than 25 years to be ranked in the top three to start the season and miss the tournament. They're also the fifth defending champion of the modern tournament to miss out on next year's tourney, joining North Carolina (2010), Florida (2008), Kansas (1989) and Louisville (1987).
(USA TODAY Sports)
6. North Carolina vs. Kansas in third round?
Roy Williams returns to Kansas City for the NCAA tournament and could face his old team in the third round. If that's just dumb luck (as the selection committee will insist), it's dumb luck of the delicious variety.
(USA TODAY Sports)
7. They did a fine job.
To be honest, Selection Sunday has become a lot less fun over the past few years. Whether because of the popularity of bracketology, the addition of four more bubble teams or an increased reliance on worthwhile metrics, the selection committee has done great work over the past four years. Any complaints about the field are half-hearted, at best. The snubbed teams never have much of a beef and seeding errors aren't as important as the media makes them out to be. It will always take six wins to cut down the nets, whether you're a No. 1, No. 16 or anywhere in between.

Started at The Kitchn: Winter 2010
Regina, who lives in Lawrence, Kansas, is a veteran writer from Apartment Therapy. She joined us this year to write about kitchen design and kitchen accessories, and we love having her here. Her smart sense of style, and instinct for truly beautiful kitchen design, bring so much to The Kitchn. Read on to hear more about her favorite kitchen tool, secret indulgence, and cooking quote.
- What's your favorite kitchen tool?
Like Megan, it has to be my immersion blender. I use it (and probably misuse it) several times a week. It's a really inexpensive little one, so I'm not at all careful with it. It has completely replaced my stand blender: I use it right in the pot for soups and purees in the winter. And in summer, it goes directly into a tall glass filled with smoothie ingredients. It came in really handy this fall for making fresh pumpkin puree.
- What's your secret indulgence in the kitchen?
Peanut butter. It starts as a little dab on a Granny Smith apple (which is perfection, by the way). But it invariably ends in spoonfuls directly from the jar.
- What's your favorite quote on food, cooking, or eating?
"Simplicity is not a compromise but a treasure". I don't read a lot on food, but I've found this quote from Mark Bittman to be true in the kitchen, in design, and with regard to life in general.

Let's set the scene: It's the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Marlene, a staff member at the SW location who will be heading to the new Edgewood branch, helped a member in the drive through lane. As the member grabbed the envelope of money she had withdrawn, unbeknownst to the member or Marlene, her debit card fell out onto the ground. The member drove off.
A little while later, another member came through the same lane. He told Marlene that there was a debit card laying on the ground. Marlene immediately went outside to retrieve the card and then called the member who owned it. To the member's distress, she had to work until 5:00 p.m., but had wanted to get some great deals early on Black Friday morning. Marlene was quick to tell the member that she would wait for her in the parking lot at the SW branch to ensure that the member would be able to carry on with her big shopping plans.
The member actually returned to the office soon after just to share her story and thank us for going above and beyond. She even said that she was telling everyone at her work how Linn Area Credit Union made her holiday just by being so kind and helpful.
But, here at Linn Area Credit Union, we just call this act of kindness "Wednesday." We do things like this all the time for our amazing members!

Yale Takes A Break From Ivy League Play
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's soccer team plays a non-league game on Monday night at Marist. Kickoff at the Gartland Athletic Field is slated for 7 p.m.
Here are storylines for the game:
• Both teams played league games on Saturday. The Bulldogs dropped a 1-0 decision at home to Dartmouth, while Marist cruised to a 4-0 victory at Saint Peter's.
• All indications are the weather will cooperate this Monday. Yale was supposed to play at Central Connecticut last Monday, but the game was postponed due to the threat of severe weather.
• Yale has two players ranked in the top 10 in the Ivy League in assists. Frannie Coxe shares the league lead with six assists, while Meredith Speck is tied for sixth with four assists.
• Melissa Gavin is second in the league with seven goals, while Geneva Decker is fifth in the league in goals per game (0.50).
• Marist (7-6-2) has won three straight games by a combined score of 10-0.
• The Red Foxes have scored 26 goals on the season.
• Yale and Marist are playing for only the fourth time. In the last meeting, Speck and Georgiana Wageman scored to lift the Bulldogs to a 2-0 victory at Reese Stadium. Yale leads the series 2-1. This is the first game to be played at Marist.
• Video and live stats will be available for the game.

Arsenal's pursuit of David Villa is unlikely to continue into the summer after they failed with a deadline-day pursuit of the Spain forward.
The Gunners bid around £11 million for Villa in the last few days of the window and still held out hope of signing him right up until the final hours of a frenetic last day for the club.
Despite Villa making it clear that he wanted to move to Emirates Stadium, Barcelona held firm in their desire to hang on to Spain's all-time record goalscorer until the summer.
It is understood that the runaway La Liga leaders might have caved in had they received an offer they felt they could not refuse for the 31-year-old, who has only been a bit-part player at Camp Nou this season.
Arsenal are likely to turn their attention elsewhere for a new centre-forward in the next window, even though Villa's value will have decreased by then as he will only have 12 months remaining on his Barca contract.
The striker will be only four months short of his 32nd birthday when the new season starts and there are misgivings about giving him a lengthy contract of three years or more.
- Wayne Veysey
Everton's deadline day bid for Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo failed as the Spanish side refused to drop their £15 million asking price despite offering the forward to a number of English clubs during the January transfer window.
Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido wanted to cash in on Negredo to ease the club's financial difficulties and offered the player to up to eight Premier League sides after a visit to London earlier in the month.
Tottenham and Chelsea also expressed an interest in the Spain international but it became clear that Del Nido was unwilling to drop the asking price.
Everton made a £9m bid for Negredo after an £8.6m move for Twente midfielder Leroy Fer fell through.
- Greg Stobart
Jack Butland's agreement to swap Birmingham City for Stoke City, and not Chelsea, who had also made a bid, raised a few eyebrows on deadline day, not least among the Manchester United hierarchy.
United scouts have long monitored the young England goalkeeper and Sir Alex Ferguson is a firm admirer of Butland's promise.
And with David de Gea far from settled at Old Trafford following a string of high-profile errors and his girlfriend's well publicised desire for the couple to return to Spain, Butland was on a short-list of potential summer targets for the Red Devils.
- David Lynch
Arsenal had an enquiry rebuffed for Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic on deadline day.
The Gunners made their move after learning that Jack Butland had signed for Stoke but the England international has returned to Birmingham on loan, ruling out the possibility of Begovic leaving the Britannia Stadium until the summer, when he will be targeted by a number of Premier League big hitters.
Arsenal had identified a new goalkeeper as one of their priorities in the build-up to the window, given growing concerns about the form of Wojciech Szczesny.
They are expected to step up their search for a new No.1 in the coming months, with Begovic, Liverpool's Pepe Reina and Swansea City's Michel Vorm among those on the club's target list.
- Wayne Veysey
Tottenham are ready to give up on Leandro Damiao after growing exasperated with Brazilian club Internacional during the course of their two-year pursuit of the striker.
The north Londoners made a final bid for the 23-year-old worth £16 million on deadline day, but the offer was rejected by Internacional, who demanded more money spread over fewer payments and also suggested the player was not for sale in January, despite it being the off-season in Brazil.
While Spurs came close to striking a deal, their chances of landing Damiao were over long before the feverish speculation stopped, as they would have needed to apply for a work permit by lunchtime on Thursday.
- Greg Stobart
Arguably the biggest move of the window saw Manchester City maverick Mario Balotelli move to AC Milan - a move that for a while it appeared Micah Richards might also make.
The defender, who has fallen down the pecking order at Eastlands this season, was a clear target of the Italian giants, according to sources in Italy.
However, Milan opted to focus their energies - and finances - on a move for Balotelli instead, leaving Richards to focus on how to usurp Pablo Zabaleta as first-choice right-back for City's title run-in.
- David Lynch
Fulham made a late dash to sign a new goalkeeper on deadline day but missed out on top two targets Jack Butland and Maarten Stekelenburg.
The west Londoners offered £3 million to Birmingham City for Butland but were informed that his move to Stoke City was too far down the line.
The Cottagers had also been in contact with Stekelenburg's representatives throughout the window and agreed a deal with Roma to sign the Dutchman on loan until the end of the season.
However, the Serie A club pulled the plug on the deal when Stekelenburg was on a flight to London as they could not complete a deal to sign Emiliano Viviano from Fiorentina by the 6pm Italian deadline.

Another pretty popular (and easy) port in south India is Bangalore (also known as Bengaluru) -- it's in Karnataka, and there are regular bus/train connections from Bangalore to all cities south of it.
I feel like I am in the middle of the movie 1776 now when the names of the states are on the board and are being rammed to the left or to the right as they vote for or against Independence. After sleeping on this, I have come up with what I think might be the only possible resolution of the 65% rule issue:Girdwood was part of the AR9 "deliver medical supplies to a remote village" DETOUR, but bad weather prevented any team from taking it. They all had to go ice fishing instead. In the mind of van Munster, Girdwood must count as a Previous Place. Alternatively, the FINISH LINE may actually be in Anchorage, which clearly is a Previous Place. If so, then we rebalance the sides of the ledger and still retain 7/11ths or 64% NEW places with the addition of the second African place and the subtraction of Girdwood from the NEW column.
I would think LA would be the finish line, but you never know.
Quote from: TARAsia Fan on November 02, 2007, 11:53:33 AMI would think LA would be the finish line, but you never know. Thats what I think too TARAfan -right back where they started.
30,000 miles are covered by the winning team in this year's race. 5 countries where The Amazing Race had never been will be featured in this season's trek, including Ireland, Lithuania and Croatia. Other locales include Burkina Faso, West Africa, and Taiwan.
I read that as one phrase/place: "burkina faso, west africa."
PHIL KEOGHAN: 30000 miles in 11 legs! That tells us much of what we needed to know to finish off the Timeline and locations.Please see my analysis in the Timeline Speculation thread. The summary of it is:1. The two TBCs will be between Burkina Faso and Niger and Taiwan and Alaska2. Niamey Niger is the 3rd pitstop.3. The 4th pitstop is Florence Italy, possible due to the time slot from the African TBC.4. The 7th pitstop will be Jaisalmer India.5. There will be have to be a leg in Osaka because the count of legs doesn't work otherwise(if you assume that it is a 21 day race that ends in Alaska). It will be the 8th pitstop.6. The second TBC will go between Taipei and Alaska since there is no desire to go below 3 teams.7. Everything else is unchanged.

Köln: Salonen conducts Berlioz
Saturday 7 Sep 2013, 8pmPhilharmonie, Köln
Venue Box Office: +49 221.280 280
Esa-Pekka Salonen conductor
Christianne Stotijn mezzo soprano
Paul Groves tenor
Gerald Finley baritone
Berlioz Romeo and Juliet (complete)
An event that brings together a stellar cast under Esa-Pekka Salonen's baton to perform Berlioz's electrifying choral symphony, Romeo and Juliet. Widely considered to be his most original and dramatic programmatic work, it is a tour de force for orchestra, chorus and soloists. A personal homage to his own heroes Shakespeare and Beethoven, it has been described by the musicologist Donald Tovey as "one of the most gigantic and convincing masterpieces of music-drama" ever written, pushing the limits of the contemporary orchestra's capabilities in terms of colour, programmatic scope and individual virtuosity. Wagner attended its première in 1839 and was deeply affected by it, later presenting Berlioz with the score of his own Tristan und Isolde inscribed with the words: "To the dear and great author of Romeo and Juliet, from the grateful author of Tristan and Isolde."

When Louise ran out of flour and asked me to buy some I said "let's use THIS" and showed her the bag of Korean flour I had bought a while ago. So we filled the flour tin with that and she's been using it for everything. We don't make biscuits that often but she's made a few pie crusts and she says "this stuff is great!!" It has turned out very well. This morning I made crepes that had been made of K-flour and they were very popular.
If you can find this stuff it is worth a try. You need to have a Korean grocery and look for the yellow bag...
