Poteau man lands role in independent film
An independent film released last weekend at the famed Toronto Film Festival has a tie to Poteau after a local business owner was given a speaking role. Last summer Ryan Adams, with R.L. Sockey Construction, sent his photo to a casting agent to be an extra on a movie that was going to be doing some filming in Oklahoma. "My wife heard about it and told me I should send in my picture. She thought it would be fun," Adams said. The film, "Yellow", was directed by Nick Cassavetes who also directed "The Notebook" and "My Sister's Keeper." Adams said this movie is a bit darker than the romantic comedies he associated with Cassavetes. According to the official website for "Yellow", the movie is about Mary Holmes (played by Heather Wahlquist who is from Seminole) who has a great life. She's young, beautiful and lives in Los Angeles. She has a good job teaching at a private elementary school and four beautiful children. But things aren't always what they seem. Mary has problems. She has a difficult time feeling things, and the fact that she eats 20 Vicodin a day doesn't help. She sees a psychiatrist for the disconnect daydreams she keeps having, and her younger sister with Tourettes hates her. And when she loses her job for sleeping with one of the fathers on Parent's night, she decides to go home. And that's when the fun really starts. The dreams which seemed so random now start to take real shape as we understand where she came from. From young and in love, drug dealing on the road, to her father's slow painful death, from questions of love and incest, to her older sister's descent into insanity, the secret that destroyed her entire family reveals itself on her journey back home.Adams said he was contacted by the casting agent to report to the prison in McAlester for filming. "Not only was I able to see what a movie set was like but I also got a real first-hand knowledge of a prison," he said. Adams said when he and the other cast arrived for the shoot they were told they would be filming in a cell block that wasn't being used by the prison. However, it is still a prison. Adams said the cast and crew had to turn in all cell phones and identification with their wallets before being taken inside the cell block. "They basically locked us in a cell block they weren't using," he said. "We couldn't leave once we were inside and since there wasn't really any place for people to have separate dressing rooms or areas we just all got to hang out together for eight hours inside a prison."Adams said when he arrived, like all the other extras he was taken to wardrobe. He was told he would be playing the part of a prison guard. "Later one of the casting agents came over to where we were all sitting and told me to go with her," he said. For the scene that he was going to be in Adams was told to escort the main character of the film and her brother from the prison into the yard. He said he was given direction about where to stand when he was finished while the two actors did the scene. "While I was standing there I heard the director radio the casting agent to tell me to say a line," Adams said. "I wasn't expecting that."Adams was given a one-line speaking roll that said, "Time's up!""So I did it and they liked it. Then we did the same thing like 50 times from all the different angles," he said. Because Adams actually had a speaking role he is listed on the full cast list on the website. He said the part also made him eligible to obtain a Screen Actors Guild card. Not that he has any plans to pursue an acting career in the future. "It was fun and interesting and thrilling. My adrenaline was going," he said of the experience. "I gained a lot of respect for actors and the work they do. It's very complicated. I thought the whole experience was really great. It was neat for a regular guy from Southeast Oklahoma to spend the day hanging out with movie stars. I almost didn't go but I'm glad I did because it was very cool. I'd like to do it again some time. How often can someone say that one day I was here in Poteau building a house and the next day I was on the set of a movie?"Adams hasn't seen the full film yet but has seen good reviews from critics at the film festival. Other stars in "Yellow" are Sienna Miller, Ray Liotta and Melanie Griffith. A full release date for the movie hasn't been announced.

Pysch Interns Study Influence Learningby Scott Morrison '14 • July 19, 2012 Share:
Summer in Crawfordsville has already come to an end for many students who performed research with Wabash professors. However, there are a few more students left in the predominantly empty Hays or Baxter Halls. Interns Romaric Amoa '13, Jacob Owens '14, and Joshua Stowers '14 are still working hard in Baxter Hall studying learning habits.
The three students have spent the past seven weeks with Associate Professor of Psychology Dr. Neil Schmitzer-Torbert working with cocaine and rats. The four have been performing arguably some of the most unique research here this summer.
The students are looking at how addictive drugs, such as cocaine, influence learning. "We have seen previously that giving cocaine immediately after an animal, such as a rat, has learned a new behavior (such as pressing a lever for food) can cause the rat to develop a rigid, automatic behavior (and the rat will continue to press the lever, even if it does not want the food anymore)," Dr. Schmitzer-Torbert said. "This summer, we are looking to identify where in the brain cocaine is acting."
Dr. Schmitzer-Torbert studied habit learning in graduate school; so like many professors, he has remained interested in the work. Yet, most professors do not have the ability to work with the college's last remaining animal colony like he does. In the Baxter Hall basement there is a group of rats, called a colony, living for the purpose of research. Wabash professors and students have studied animals for decades, from mice to rats to even slightly larger animals. Today, rats have survived the test of time as the best animals to study, especially for the ends that Dr. Schmitzer-Torbert and his students are trying to obtain.
Amoa, Owens, and Stowers have been injecting cocaine directly into two areas of the rats' brains, the prefrontal cortex and the basil ganglia, to see if cocaine can act directly in these areas to stimulate learning habits. While there are some tough aspects to the research, the students are glad they took the opportunity. "I took a couple of classes with Dr. Schmitzer-Torbert, and when I heard he took on interns I went for the opportunity to see if this would be a career I wanted to pursue," Owens said. "I have enjoyed doing research here this summer."
Once the guys leave campus in the next week or so, they will not be completely done with the research. The group will travel to New Orleans over Fall Break to present their findings at Neuroscience 2012, the national convention for the Society for Neuroscience. Over 30,000 people will attend the professional convention. The students are excited to gain experience in presenting their work and to also look into the professional psychological field.
"Right now I am teetering between being a professor and doing research and doing something in the industry," Stowers said. "It is nice that we are going to New Orleans for the conference so that we can learn more about careers."
In a week or so, the interns will start enjoying the last few weeks of summer before classes begin, and they will take with them some precious lab experience not many students get. Dr. Schmitzer-Torbert realizes the value of the work and would love for more students to have the opportunity. "We always have more guys interested in research than we have money for," Dr. Schmitzer-Torbert said.

Vacations always cost more than you think — even if YOU sign up for one of those "all-inclusive" deals.
By now, most of us are accustomed to all the airline fees, from extra legroom and exit-row seating to in-flight entertainment, in-flight meals, extra checked luggage and now, apparently, luggage of any kind.
But there are a ton of hidden costs that even the adult Girl Scouts among us, who plan for everything, didn't see coming.
"Every traveler wants to stretch their vacation dollars as far as possible — and sometimes, unexpected costs can have just the opposite effect!" said Amelie Hurst, a spokesperson for travel-booking site TripAdvisor.com. " It's well worth doing a little homework before your trip; tally up everything from baggage fees to hotel wi-fi costs, to avoid any unwanted surprises and establish a realistic budget."
Before you ask someone to pop a little umbrella in your drink, check out these hidden costs of vacation.

The April-May issue names the spots for business and eating.
"Great eating complements great deal-making, and these restaurants are the best of the best," said Worth editor Richard Bradley in a press release. "Executives and professionals across industries will find these new eateries perfect for even their most important power lunches."

12x is a very standard unit of time in cartoons. It's roughly the time it takes for a human to take a step in a normal walk. A fast walk would be 8x per step. Pepe Le Pew's hop cycle is 12x per hop.
Here is a perfect scene to learn the essential concept of animating to tempos. The scene is very simple and basically just moves from one pose to the next to the beat. No fancy overlapping action or secondary motions to distract you from the core concept of beats.
It's good to study just because it is so simple. A beginning animator needs to get used to how long a beat is in frames. This song is a 12x beat. Sing along and tap your foot to it, until you memorize the rhythm. Then do it later when you don't have the animation in front of you. After a while you will know what a 12x beat feels like.
Each of these frames below is a key drawing. They are the drawings that you see and feel for each beat - the important drawings. The rest of the drawings are on the way to these keys. Those are the inbetweens.
Each key is either 12x or 24x away from the other keys next to them.
You should number the keys according to which frame they would appear in your animation test. Number your ex sheets that way too.This would be frame 25 (1 frame past the first 2 beats of pose 1.)
Add 24x to to frame 25 and you get frame 49. Got it?
Then it goes to a new pose on every beat. Watch the film frame by frame. Number the inbetweens by counting backwards from the key. If there are 4 inbetweens on the way to frame 49 and they are on "1's", then they will be numbered 48, 47, 46, 45
The mouths are animated on separate levels, so that the body and head animation can be cycled or reused. When you animate this scene, animate the actions first. After you shoot it and see it working, then go back and animate the mouths on a separate level.
Some of the poses are held for a few frames once they stop. The face keeps singing while the body is stopped.
Watch the clip. The song starts on the second scene. If you copy this animation, you will benefit greatly. If you shoot it, send me a link and I will post some of them.
Just to confuse things, the clip is running at 30x per second ... like video. Film is 24x per second so you have to calculate a bit. Some of the frames are repeated to make it run at 30x per second.
That's why you see some double images in the clip. If you follow my instructions above as to how to number the drawings, it will end up at 24x per second.

A Tale of Two iPads
Oct 18, 2012 5:00 AM PT
Even before Apple actually announces a product, as a Mac and iOS device enthusiast, I tend to start imagining how I could actually use Apple's new awesomeness. The results aren't always as I hope.
Often enough, I end up concluding that I don't need it -- like the 27-inch iMac and the Mac mini -- and sometimes, that I don't even want it.
Take the new iPod nano, for example. It's cool and better than ever, but it's not much better than my old iPod nano. And the iPod touch? Totally unnecessary when the go-to device of this size is an iPhone. But what about for kids? Answer: I don't have kids that need one.
Consequently, I was able to check out the specs of the new iPods, appreciate the colors, then ignore them completely.
Can't Ignore a New iPad Mini
When I think about the potential sales for an iOS-based mini-tablet in the 7-inch or so form factor (the existing iPad has a 9.7-inch screen), it's easy for me to imagine massive success. Serious sales. First of all, it will blow away the iPod touch as the go-to tablet device. The iPod touch is like a starter iPhone for children, but in a new touch-based app and mobile Web world, the screen is still small.
From a parent's perspective, if a kid gets an iPod touch, what's the point if the kid will age into an iPhone in a year or two? Or gain a parent's old iPhone to use when the parent upgrades? Lots of kids have iPod touches, but for some parents, it's just not the right device.
An iPad mini, though, is a different animal altogether: It would be bigger, so it wouldn't compete with an iPhone (or any other smartphone, for that matter). The gaming experience would be better, and the larger screen could even allow bigger touch targets for young children -- and an easier usage experience for grandparents.
As for video, kids in the back seat of a vehicle could see the screen if it were mounted on the back of a seat or in the console area, and there would be less jockeying (and fighting) for position to watch a movie on it after a long, hard vacation day.
If Apple releases an iPad mini in time for the holiday buying season, it'll sell millions of units in a very short time -- just because of these kid factors.
The iPad Mini Is For Adults, Too
But what about big kids? Not just fanboys, but adults? I have a first-generation Kindle Fire, and there are a few things I love about it. The first is size. Surprisingly, I don't see it as a competitor to a full-on iPad or full-size tablet device. No, the Kindle Fire is all about media consumption. Its wide screen is fantastic for movies, and when turned vertically, its the perfect size for reading novels. Email and Web browsing? It's serviceable, but nowhere near a size needed for workhorse action.
In addition to being great for media, it's the perfect packable size.
For instance, when I travel, I have tried to leave my MacBook at home and just take my iPad. If I don't have to do any real work, it's great! But once I have to write something, once I have to understand anything that's difficult, the iPad sucks. With an external keyboard, it's better, but it still sucks for my kind of work. I simply need a laptop with a full computing experience. Consequently, taking my 15-inch MacBook Pro along with an iPad is too redundant and heavy. Sure, I get big, glorious iPad apps on the iPad, and I can store and watch movies and TV, but the packability price is too high, especially when there's an iPhone already in my pocket. So I leave it behind.
Often enough, though, I'll throw in my Kindle Fire. Why? It's smaller, easier to pack. I can use it quickly and discreetly in an airport and on the plane, and I don't have to burn up my iPhone battery or compete for iPhone storage space with a bunch of movies or TV shows.
Also, if I'm traveling but shouldn't have to do any real work, the smaller form factor would let me poke at work much better than just my iPhone.
The iPad mini might actually be a fit for me.
And I think it'll be a fit for many others, as well, despite the initial, disparaging comments Steve Jobs made about the smaller form factor.
But I Already Have an iPad!
For millions of iPad owners, a new iPad mini won't offer much to be desired. The effort to sell the big iPad won't be worth it and the cost to acquire an extra device won't get through everyone's buying decision process. If I had a 27-inch iMac and did most of my work at a desk, I'd be quite happy with a full size iPad, even when traveling. So if I were this kind of consumer, I could ignore the iPad mini -- unless my iPad was stolen by my spouse or acquired by kids with sticky PB&J fingers. In which case, I could buy an iPad mini as a bait-and-switch tactic just to get my full-size iPad back.
Or get the get the iPad mini anyway and say to the rest of the family, "Look, you get to keep the big one, but this one is my work unit. No playing around on it. You get the big one. That one. The full-size iPad."
Of course, all of this is only possible if Apple can drive the price down far enough to make an iPad mini competitive with other 7-inch class tablets -- and therefore possible for consumers to wrap their heads around.

Title IX
ESEA General Provisions
(Title IX)
In general, Title IX of the ESEA continues, with minor and updating changes, many of the types of provisions found in Title XIV of the predecessor law, such as definitions, flexibility provisions relating to consolidated plans and use of administrative funds, Secretarial waivers, uniform provisions, and limitations on the Federal role in education. Summarized below are some of the more significant new general provisions.
Definitions - Section 9101 of the ESEA adds new definitions of terms, including the following: "Beginning Teacher;" "Core Academic Subjects;" "Distance Learning;" "Exemplary Teacher;" "Highly Qualified" (as applied to a teacher); "Limited English Proficient;" "Parental Involvement;" "Poverty Line;" "Professional Development;" "Scientifically Based Research;" and "Teacher Mentoring."
School Prayer - Section 9524 of the ESEA requires the Secretary to publish guidance on constitutionally protected school prayer in the public schools by September 1, 2002, and every second year thereafter. The Secretary must consult with the Department of Justice in preparing the guidance. In order to receive funds under the ESEA, each LEA must certify in writing each year to the SEA that it has no policy that prevents constitutionally protected prayer in the public schools as detailed in the Secretary's guidance. The Secretary is directed to bring enforcement action against any LEA that fails to submit the required certification or that provides its certification in bad faith. (Under current law, the Secretary is directed to withhold ESEA funds from any SEA or LEA that is determined by a Federal court to have willfully violated a Federal court order to refrain from violating the constitutional right of any student with respect to prayer in the public schools.)
Boy Scouts of America Equal Access - Section 9525 of the ESEA prohibits an SEA, LEA, or public school that receives funds from the Department and permits outside youth or community groups to meet on school premises before or after school from denying equal access to those facilities to the Boy Scouts based on the latter's membership criteria or oath of allegiance. The Secretary is directed to enforce the requirement of equal access through administrative means.
Armed Forces Recruiting - Section 9528 of the ESEA requires each LEA that receives funds under the ESEA to provide, on request by a military recruiter or an institution of higher education, access to the names, addresses, and telephone listings for secondary students. However, parents may request that such information not be released for their child without prior written parental consent. LEAs must give military recruiters the same right of access to secondary students as they provide generally to postsecondary institutions and prospective employers.
Unsafe School Choice Option - Section 9532 of the ESEA requires each State that receives ESEA funds to implement a statewide policy that offers to the parents of each student who attends a "persistently dangerous" public school (as determined by the State), or "who becomes a victim of a violent criminal offense" (as determined by State law) while on school grounds the option to attend a safe public school within the same LEA.
Regulations - Section 9535 of the ESEA directs the Secretary to issue regulations under the ESEA "only to the extent that such regulations are necessary to ensure that there is compliance with [the ESEA's] specific requirements and assurances." However the Conference Report to H.R. 1 clarifies that this statutory language was not intended "to prohibit the Secretary from issuing regulations that are reasonably necessary to ensure timely and orderly grant-making, high-quality applications that respond to priority needs, or grantee accountability."

From the Blurb:
How much of ourselves must we give up to help a friend in need?
Helen has little idea what lies ahead - and what strength she must summon - when she offers her spare room to an old friend, Nicola, who has arrived in the city for treatment of her illness. Skeptical of the medical establishment, and placing all her faith in an alternative health center, Nicola is determined to find her own way to cope, regardless of the advice Helen offers.
In the weeks that follow, Nicola's battle for survival will turn not only her own life upside down but also those of everyone around her. Helen unexpectedly finds herself driven through extremes of rage and tenderness to become Nicola's nurse, protector, guardian angel, and stony judge.
Powerful and taut, and full of wisdom and dark laughter, The Spare Room is a magical gem of a book that packs a huge punch.

Recipe Find: Cherry Chipotle Pork Loin worth the wait
The old saying that good things come to those who wait may be true, at least in the case of this week's find.
Here's the story behind the wait: I'm more than a year behind in sharing today's recipe, which I'm blaming on the fact that my email recipe files are so stuffed that I had to add a second set of email folders to handle the overload.
The bad news is this recipe got trapped in the old folders that I now access less frequently. The good news is that Cherry Chipotle Pork Loin is a great recipe for fall, thanks to a deep braising of pork in Guinness, with additions of tart and sweet cherries and chipotle, whose flavors are sure to please.
The recipe comes from Brad Pool, who adapted the recipe from one from Food Network star, restaurateur and chef Guy Fieri.
"(Fieri) was using short ribs but I substituted pork roast at first, then tried pork loin," Pool says.
"I also changed a few of the ingredients after the first try. I always like to make (something) as the recipe calls for and then make changes if needed."
We're glad Pool shared this delicious favorite. He recommends serving it with roasted garlic-sour cream mashed potatoes and fresh green peas.
"Your guests will love it," he says. "This recipe can be altered to use short ribs, pork roast or beef roast."
Recipe Find appears Sundays in Taste. If you are looking for a lost recipe or have a favorite recipe to share, let us hear from you. Email email@example.com or write Recipe Find, San Antonio Express-News, P.O. Box 2171, San Antonio, TX 78297-2171.

Most blues started in the country before becoming urbanized, and Bukka White brought his brand of Mississippi blues to Chicago in the 1930's and 40's.
It is likely that he met and learned from elemental bluesman Charley Patton, and he was known for playing a National steel guitar with a slide. He recorded "Shake 'Em On Down" in 1937 and established the cutting edge.
Here is a clip of Bukka White performing a different song, but the style is very similar.
Big Bill Broonzy was a key figure in the transition to urban blues, he was a facilitator for other artists, as well as a composer and performer of some important songs like "Key to the Highway." He actually helped Bukka White get a record deal with Chicago's Melrose Records. Later on Broonzy became known as more of a folk-blues artist, but when he recorded "Shake 'Em On Down" in 1940, he was on the cutting edge of the blues.
The North Mississippi All Stars have brought a totally modern sound to the music that originated in their state, and they owe a particular debt to Mississippi Fred McDowell, who also recorded "Shake 'Em On Down". Their sound has a distinctive rhythmic drive and a modal simplicity that is based on primal Mississippi blues. "Shake 'Em On Down" appeared on Shake Hands With Shorty from 2000. They perform live from 2011:
John Alex Mason is a younger bluesman who has taken a modern look backwards at blues, often performing as a one-man-band. He is building on a blues foundation, and adding some subtle touches that show an awareness of today's sound and studio techniques. He recorded "Shake 'Em On Down" in 2008. He performs the tune in this 2006 clip:

(NEW YORK) — Northwestern University sophomore Harsha Maddula, who disappeared about a week ago, drowned, according to the medical examiner.
A fisherman found the body floating near some boats at a harbor in Wilmette, Ill., Thursday night, according to ABC News Chicago station WLS-TV.
Maddula's wallet, Northwestern ID card and his cell phone were found on the body, according to Northwestern University spokesman Alan Cubbage.
Officials would not speculate on what led to the drowning, but "Wilmette Police investigators on the scene said there were no signs of foul play on the body," Cubbage said in a news conference Thursday night.
"On behalf of Northwestern University, I extend our deepest sympathies to Harsha's family and to his many friends at Northwestern," university president Morton Schapiro said in a statement. "Our hearts and thoughts are with them. The loss of one member of the Northwestern community deeply affects us all."
Maddula, 18, disappeared last Saturday after he left a party near Northwestern's campus around 12:30 a.m., according to school officials. His cellphone last pinged a cell tower near Wilmette Harbor around 1 a.m.
Divers searched the Lake Michigan harbor for hours Wednesday, but found no signs of Maddula, according to a statement from the university early Thursday.
The family of the sophomore pre-med student flew from their home in Long Island, N.Y., to assist with the search, and put up a $25,000 reward for information on his whereabouts. They described Maddula as a bookworm not prone to adventures or partying.
"We really have no idea, no clue what could have happened to him," his cousin, Srinu Maddula, told ABC News early Thursday. "It's just out of his character. He's just a good kid, he just likes to study. He really enjoys school and education and work. He doesn't smoke, or drink, or do drugs because of his diabetic condition."
Srinu Maddula said the family has little information about the party that his cousin was attending or what friends he was with on the night of his disappearance.
"We want to make sure this investigation is not over," Sushma Maddula, Harsha Maddula's cousin, told WLS-TV. "Who was Harsha with last? Who did he speak to last? I still do not know…we need to find the answers."

Update 3:45 p.m. 2/9: Authorities have released a composite sketch of the suspect in the attempted abuction in Odell Sunday. At the time of the abduction attempt the suspect was driving a light car with blue racing stripe.
An attempted abduction of a seven year old girl occurred on Sunday, Feb. 6, just before 6 p.m., while the girl was playing outside her residence in the Odell area.
According to Hood River County Sherriff's Detective Matt English, a white male, between 20 and 30 years old at approximately six feet tall, approached the girl. He tried to entice her to accompany him. When she refused, the suspect attempted to physically take the girl from her yard. The victim reported that he grabbed her arm.
The girl was able to alert her mother, who came outside to investigate. Her arrival caused the suspect to flee the area.
"We are working with a composite artist from Clackamas County," said English. When a drawing is produced from the victim's description, it will be released to the public.
The suspect left in a small passenger car described as light in color with a blue racing strip on the hood. The suspect is described as wearing a yellow shirt, blue hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans with holes in the knees and a camouflage stocking hat.
"Sheriff's deputies began investigating immediately following the incident. We are working with regional investigators and have provided information to additional law enforcement agencies," said English.
Hood River County Schools were notified of the incident and sent home information to all district elementary school children via written flyers. HRVHS posted the notice on their homepage and alerted staff via emails.
The sheriff's office has set up a community tip line and is asking that anyone with information report it. The sheriff's office tip line can be reached at 541-387-7077.
"We want to assure that public that these incidents of stranger abduction are rare," said English, "but, we also want people to know that they should call us if they see suspicious people in their area."
English also offered a reminder to concerned parents. "Be vigilant about knowing where your children are and educate your children about how to protect themselves if they are approached."

In less than a year, Bluffton will have a shiny, bright new fire station at the intersection of Burnt Church Road and Bridge Street across from M.C. Riley Elementary School.
What's really nice about the project from where we sit is that it is projected to come in at or even under its $2.2 million budget. And the project will be paid for out of the district's reserve funds so there is no need for a loan or to incur debt. These are all reasons to celebrate and applaud the town of Bluffton and the fire district officials who managed funds adequately. We hope the actual building goes as smoothly. But things bode well as it appears the town has its ducks in a row on this one.
The project is expected to take about nine months to complete. What has led to the need for this new fire station is Bluffton's continued growth and development.
The 9.2-acre site also allows an opportunity for more growth. As reported by Bluffton Today several months ago, this new Bluffton Fire Station 30 will be a state-of-the-art facility. It will become a template or prototype for additional fire stations.
If you want to see the building take shape, the foundation should be poured within the next month, said Deputy Fire Chief John Thompson Jr., project lead in Sunday's newspaper.
The land for the project was purchased in December 2010 for $1.2 million.
The new station will replace one that was originally planned as a volunteer unit and is the oldest of six fire stations in Bluffton. Engineering reports from two or three years ago gave the facility another two to three years of life.
Solid planning by town officials and an eye on the future helped the new station get under way before it was too late, too outdated and too expensive.
A fire truck, four firefighters, an ambulance and four emergency medical technicians will be housed at the new station.
Besides the physical signs of progress, building the new station shows confidence in the first district. Thompson said it also is considered a "morale booster for the crew."
Not all were receptive to the new fire station af first blush.
Mike Raymond, Town Council's appointee to the fire commission, said he was skeptical about the size and cost, but last week he was all smiles. We elected Raymond to be a good steward of the town's money and he has proven worthy so far.
We also like it when a good plan pans out and we can applaud efforts of the town and fire district.
Well done, folks.

The 60-year-old building at 70-20 67th Street is an abandoned factory, said neighbor Gary Jannazzio, who spoke at the meeting.
According to the Department of Buildings (DOB) Web site, the project's most recent construction permits expired in 2004. The building has 19 complaints and 17 violations listed on the site.
The most recent complaint is from Christmas Eve, and states that demolition was being executed without proper permits. According to the complaint, an inspector was sent to the building but couldn't gain entry.
"Weekends, night time, Christmas Eve, they're there banging away and nothing gets done," Jannazzio said.
He said he's seen the city put stop-work orders on the building, but workers ignore them. He also saw officers from the 104th Precinct issue harassment summonses on the premises, but the construction hasn't stopped.
Jannazzio said he witnessed workers removing the building's roof by taking pieces and throwing them to the ground.
"They decide they're just going take it and throw it off the roof," he said, "take wheelbarrows with the dust and heave it over the side of the building."
A 60-year-old building is bound to have asbestos, he added.
"For weeks I can't open my windows, my kids can't play in the yard," Jannazzio said.
But representatives from Councilwoman Liz Crowley's office said Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) inspectors visited the site six times, tested the roof for asbestos and found no trace of it.
They said the DEP would continue its investigation into the construction site.
Community Board 5 Chair Vinnie Arcuri said the board got involved in the issue in 2003.
"There were no [DOB] permits issued for work over there," which specify operation hours and restrictions, Arcuri said.
When the board contacted the DEP, Arcuri said, an inspector came to the building, which resulted in a phone call to police.
"She was harassed by the workers, that generated the call to 911, and an executive officer showed up and emptied the building out," Arcuri said.
Construction at the building resumed by the next week.
Arcuri said he sent a letter to the DOB commissioner on December 28 asking for information about the construction, but hasn't heard back.
Nick Desocio, who testified at the meeting with Jannazzio, said he spoke with a DEP inspector who came to the building, but the inspector shrugged him off.
He said, "Sunday morning, want to catch an extra hour or two [of sleep]? Forget it, you have to hear hammering and chiseling on a wall."
In a phone interview on Monday, January 16, Desocio said he heard construction happening in the basement over the weekend. However, when this newspaper visited the site earlier that morning, it was quiet.
An architect listed on the DOB Web site gave a number for an owner of the building, but several calls to the number were not returned.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb men's tennis team won their first match of the spring season Friday night with a 6-1 win over Western Kentucky at Richland Country Club in Nashville.
After an earlier loss to Georgia State, the Bison record now evens off at 1-1.
"Looking back at the matches this evening, you can certainly tell by the reflection of the scores our players were much more comfortable competing since their season openers," head coach Andrew Harris said. "Our men certainly got better this evening and come Sunday against Samford, they know the challenge that presents them. All in all, a great evening for LU Tennis."
The Bison opened up the match with a sweep of the doubles point to put them at an early 1-0 lead.
Junior Oliver Strecker and freshman Stuart Tierney defeated WKU's Josh Smith and Arul Selvan 8-5 at No. 1, while junior Tanner Brown and sophomore Miguel Cortez posted a win at No. 2, defeating Craig Kirschgeiner and Freeman 8-3.
At No. 3, junior Colby Shaw and sophomore David Salazar took down Ball and Closi by a score of 8-5.
With a 1-0 lead, the Bison headed into singles play where they won five of their six matches to post a 6-1 win.

Apple Now Banning Potentially Competitive Apps From The iPhone
from the pissing-off-developers dept
While some are decrying this as being an abuse of power, Apple certainly has the right to do it. It's just not a particularly good long term strategy -- and likely to backfire badly. Pissing off your developers or making them worry isn't going to get very many good apps written going forward. Also, limiting competition is actually going to hurt Apple, because it no longer has anyone driving them to be better. What if this podcasting app had certain features that were really cool and useful -- and not available in iTunes? Right now, Apple has no incentive to include that functionality, thus making its own software worse.
In the meantime, you've got to imagine that a number of iPhone developers may be eagerly awaiting the launch of Google's Android platform which won't have such arbitrary restrictions.

DETROIT (AP) — Michigan's economic troubles are seen as contributing to a birthrate that's the state's lowest since the 1870s.
The Detroit Free Press reports Sunday that 117,309 babies were born in Michigan in 2009, the smallest number since the end of World War II, and the birthrate was 11.8 babies per 1,000 residents amid the weak economy. The newspaper says the state's birthrate peaked during the 1950s at 27.6 new babies for every 1,000 residents.
The National Center for Health Statistics says eight states had lower birthrates than Michigan in 2009.
Michigan has lost jobs every year for the past decade, and was the only state to lose population during that period. It's had one of the nation's highest unemployment rates in recent years.

Playboy: The Mansion
Runs on: PC, Xbox, PS2
Price: PC $69.95, Xbox $79.95
Classification: MA15+
Rating: * * ½
This is a game based on the most recognised insignia in adult entertainment, but it may not be exactly what fans were expecting.
Players slip into the trademark smoking jacket of Hugh Hefner and take residence at the Playboy Mansion, where all-night parties are commonplace and the world famous magazine is strung together.
These two activities go hand-in-hand as each issue requires willing guests to contribute written content and partying playmates for photo shoots. Borrowing heavily on The Sims series, the main focus is on developing friendships, furnishing the mansion and cementing business contacts to build your empire.
As each of Hef's relationships improves, the invited guests begin offering their services. It's a necessary task that over time becomes repetitive due to the minimal skills that suffice to befriend the range of guests. Spend long enough flirting and you can even have female politicians bouncing around on a couch with you half naked.
The photo sessions will appeal to some. You operate the camera as a playmate poses in the outfit of your choice. But it fails to offer long-term entertainment due to repetition and your handy work having little effect on magazine sales.
Some joy can be found in the game's business management, where adjusting pricing and content between issues and catering to changing public tastes can influence sales.

Telstra has announced it will soon offer data plans that can be shared across multiple mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.
Australia's largest telco hasn't released any concrete details on the plans, only saying that that they will be released "in the coming months".
In a post on the company's Exchange blog, Telstra's Director of Mobile Broadband, Anthea Roberts, said the plans will allow customers to share data across a number of mobile devices.
You may have read today about some new plans we will be launching, which will let you share your data across a number of mobile devices (such as your smartphone, tablet or Mobile WiFi).
We believe these plans will be perfect for people who want to streamline and make the most of the data they pay for, without complication.
These will be a brand new set of plans for Telstra and we hope to share more information with you on them in the next few months.
It is unknown whether Telstra will charge a per-device fee for the plans like US networks Verizon and AT&T, which already offer similar shared plans.
In addition to revealing the shared plans, Telstra will tomorrow release a range of new month-to-month mobile plans without the requirement of a lock in contract.
The four new "no lock-in plans"range from a $60 per month plan up to a $130 unlimited plan with varying value and data inclusions depending on the plan.
All plans included unlimited SMS messages to all Australian mobile numbers. Calls on the non-unlimited plans are charged at 99 cents per minute with a 40 cent connection fee, while MMS messages are billed at 50 cents each.
Excess data is charged at 10 cents per megabyte (MB) once the included data allowance is exceeded.
Telstra will also offer a bonus 1GB of data per month for any customer who signs up to one of the new no lock-in plans before Monday 1 July.
Are you interested in sharing a data plan across multiple mobile devices? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

The fact that Android is doing well shouldn't be a surprise to anyone; lots of figures already prove that. New figures from research firms Gartner and IDC from the second quarter of 2010 show that not only is Android doing well in the United States - it's doing well in Foreign as well. Worldwide, Android has soared past iOS, and is closing in on Research In Motion's BlackBerry - just one percentage point left. Symbian is still the undisputed king of smartphone land, with more installations sold than RIM and Android combined.

I apologize. I thought this was yet another regurgitation of a different Android sales figure, combined with some of Gartner's projections that have been out there for a while as well. Reading OSNews at work is a great way to skim articles and jump to conclusions, after all.
As for the English: persoonlijk praat ik ook Frans, Duits en aardig wat Latijn. Laten we het daar vooral verder over hebben.

Cardtronics Faces Angry Court over ADA at ATMs
March 25, 2013
Source: Credit Union Times
Story By David Morrison
Cardtronics, the nation's largest independent ATM deployer and owner of the Allpoint network that provides fee-free ATM access to many credit union members, faced a federal judge angered over what the judge said was Cardtronics failure to live up to a previous agreement which was made after litigation arose from the Americans with Disabilities Act.
In a March 21 order, U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton granted three of four suggested remedies sought by the National Federation for the Blind and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts who alleged contempt of court after the plaintiffs said that Houston-based Cardtronics had failed numerous times to make its many ATMs nationwide accessible to the blind.
The original lawsuit alleging violations of the ADA at the firm's ATMs was brought in 2003 and settled under an agreement in 2007. The Court put into place a remediation plan in 2010 that was meant to "set forth more tangible requirements and deadlines" than the original agreement.
Under the terms of the order, Cardtronics will now face a special master appointed by the Court to monitor its compliance; an extension of monthly reporting requirements through March 31, 2014, and payment of attorney fees and plaintiff costs.
The court left open the question of a requested fine of $50 per ATM per month for the special master to determine if the company has made a good faith effort to comply with the remediation plan.
The company has deployed an estimated 47,000 ATMs nationwide and the plaintiffs allege that at least 9,000 remain without access for the blind. If the court were to agree that 9,000 ATMs remain out of compliance, fines could run as high has $450,000 per month.
A spokesman for Cardtronics said the company is in compliance with the ADA on all its ATMs and that the terms of the Remediation Plan are stricter than the terms of the ADA. Under the terms of the ADA, it is only owners of ATMs which are responsible for keeping their machines in compliance whereas under the Remediation Plan Cardtronics, the spokesman maintained, is responsible for ADA compliance on ATMs which is does not own but only serves as processor.

They were 'fantastic parents to two beautiful little girls'
A couple killed in a road traffic collision on the A228 in Hoo have been described as 'fantastic parents' by their family. Tom Gregory and his partner Lindsay Slater from Frindsbury, died following a collision Saturday, 6 April, on the medway-bound carriageway of the Ratcliffe Highway.
Officers from the Kent Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit are investigating the collision after it was reported the silver Peugeot left the road for reasons not yet known and came to rest in a nearby field after colliding with a road sign.
Lindsay was pronounced dead at the scene while Tom was airlifted to a London hospital where he later died of his injuries.
The couple's two daughters, Hollie (4) and Mae (7), were also in the vehicle and sustained minor injuries. They were taken to the Medway Maritime Hospital by land ambulance and are now being cared for by relatives.
A tribute from the family read: 'Tom and Lindsay will always be remembered by their family and friends as fantastic parents to two beautiful little girls. They were a really close couple that will leave huge holes in all our lives.
'We would like to thank all those that have been in contact, offering messages of condolence; it's greatly appreciated during this difficult time.'

Contemporary issues in Geography:
Environmental Planning, Urban and Transportation Planning, Urban Inequality, Habitat Conservation, and Sustainable Development.
Career Opportunities — What can I do with a Bachelor's Degree in Geography?
The study of Geography gives students the knowledge and skills to be competitive in a wide range of careers. From broad skills in research, data analysis, management, and critical thinking to specific skills in cartography, mapping, and geographic information systems, graduates can work in a number of fields, such as: conservation, environmental management, urban planning, research, waste management, teaching, reporting, publishing, law, state and local government.
Potential employers include:
Federal, State and Local Governments, Colleges and Universities, Natural History Museums, National Parks, Research Institutes, Environmental Companies, Health and Human Services, Law Firms, Marketing Firms, Insurance Agencies, Public Advocacy Groups, Private Foundations, Non-Profit Organizations, Public Utilities, Waste Management Companies and Real Estate Developers. For more, please visit Career Counseling.
Program Outcomes
- Identify, interpret and analyze statistical or numeric information; interpret, analyze and describe spatial patterns and relationships using cartographic, graphic and statistical materials.
- Identify, describe and differentiate between different research approaches and paradigms within geography and assess change within the discipline over time.
- Identify, analyze and describe the interconnected nature of political, economic, social and physical processes in shaping the character of places and regions.
- Use appropriate numeric tables, symbolic models, as well as cartographic and graphic tools and techniques to make arguments relating to spatial patterns, processes and relationships.

- Understand the role of individuals and institutions in generating cooperation, conflict, exploitation, and oppression locally and globally.
- Understand the interrelationships between individuals, institutions, and the physical environment both locally and globally.
Transfer Possibilities — Where can I transfer?
An Associate Degree from Shoreline makes it possible for students to transfer to public and private colleges and universities throughout the U.S. with junior standing. For transfer within Washington State, we offer a special degree called the AA-DTA. For international students, Shoreline also has conditional admission agreements that allow a student to be simultaneously accepted by Shoreline and a university of the student's choosing.

Seat post
apply carbon paste, grease, or talcum powder to the seat post, and torque to spec.
grease and torque the seat post clamp.
Some have mentioned greasing the seat post quietened down the creaks. I wonder if the seat tube has not been fabricated well, and is slightly oversized, allowing excessive post movement.
if you have another saddle, put it on and tighten it firmly, and see if that gets rid of the creak.
if it does, then put the original one back on tightening the rail fasteners firmly. As a troubleshooting step, grease the rails. (you can clean them later)
I had a creak once that came from a stress fracture that developed in the saddle base layer.
You could turn the saddle upside down and spray all suspect bits with wd40 or grease.
The creaks on my bike don't originate solely from the saddle because they also occur when I am riding out of the saddle.
On my bike at least they seem to be coming from the steerer or head tube or somewhere around there, maybe the front forks...?
It is very random, the bike can be perfectly quiet on a bumpy road one minute and then creak when the surface is perfectly smooth the next. Overall the incidence of creaking is increasing however.
I think I will get some of this carbon paste stuff and put it every surface where there is contact between two parts and see how that goes.
Grease your head set , checked mine the other day , and it had just about zero grease in it.
5 minute job , undo top cap , slacken off stem clamp bolts ,remove stem and handle bars , and drop forks down or even right out.
Carefully hang bars and stem on the cables/wires.
Clean and grease bearings etc , reverse first process.
Simple and quick process.
Have been meaning to do mine for a while , as said previously , factory built bikes always come with the bare minimum of grease.
Had the creaking seat post with mine early on as well , quick grease fixed that as well.
