About the AFI Catalog Academic Network
AFI has greatly accelerated the pace of the AFI Catalog project with the posting of nearly 10,000 new records for movies produced and released between 1975 and the present. The AFI Catalog of Feature Films offers a listing of all theatrically released American features — nearly 60,000 titles. The AFI Catalog's staff continue to work diligently to expand these basic records into fully detailed Catalog entries.
To spur this effort, AFI has created an Academic Network to utilize the best and brightest young scholars from participating colleges and universities to provide plot summary and production note information to help flesh out the "basic records." To date, hundreds of titles have been assigned to the Academic Network, and these entries have been received, edited and posted with appropriate credit to the students and their academic advisors.
AFI's immediate goal is to enlarge the network of participating institutions and scholars and to fulfill AFI's promise to create the most reliable index to America's film heritage. Current participating schools include: Emerson College, Georgia Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Pittsburgh and University of Texas at Austin.
Participating universities have pursued different approaches to participation in the Academic Network, including individual work-study students, independent study for extra credit, incorporating participation as a component of an established media studies class, and building a new class around participation in the Network. We encourage participants to model the program to suit the needs of their institutions. Completed entries will be published on-line in the AFI Catalog of Feature Films and participants will receive by-lines for their written entries.
AFI is actively seeking additional participants to the Academic Network. To learn more, contact AFI Catalog Manager at [email protected] or visit the FAQ section here.

Lawmakers Pass a Drug Bill
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
The state Senate approved a bill for the governor to sign on Thursday. The creators of the bill want to stop student athletes from using drugs.
The bill is called Senate Bill 37. It was introduced last year by a senator from San Francisco. If the governor signs the bill, it becomes a law. The new law would make student athletes sign a promise. The students would promise not to use drugs called steroids.
Steroids make some athletes faster and stronger. But, they are bad for the body. Part of the bill requires that high school coaches be trained. Coaches and their athletes would be taught about the dangers of steroids.
A bill similar to Senate Bill 37 was sent to the governor last year. The governor did not sign the other bill.
Many high schools are in favor of the bill. They are teaching their coaches about drugs. Their students have to sign an agreement not to use drugs.
An agency in charge of the rules for high school sports is also in favor of the bill. They think many students use steroids. The agency has told high schools to do what the bill says by 2008.
Sheldon High School began to teach athletes and coaches about drugs. The high school also requires signed promises from players. The players must promise not to take drugs. The Sheldon High football coach thinks the bill is a good idea for the athletes.
Many other high schools are doing the same thing. They want to raise awareness about steriods. If athletes learn about the drugs, they will know that they are bad for their bodies. People hope that this bill will help end drug use.

View from the Borderland: The nutritional problem with school lunch
Neshobe Community School reached a new watermark of sorts this school year, when more than 50 percent of the students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch. This sobering news came on the heels of the news that Rutland County, of which Brandon is the northernmost town, has one of the highest rates of childhood obesity and Type II diabetes in the State. In a report released in February 2009, Essex and Franklin Counties actually are in worse shape, being both poor and more rural. The Rutland Partnership for Health collaborative, financed by the James T. Bowse Healthy Trust (see www.rrmc.org), health priorities included increasing children's access to healthy diets and reducing the youth Body-Mass Index, an indicator of obesity. Yet the food available to children at Neshobe School does not promote these health priorities. When my children were enrolled in the Rutland Northeast Early Childhood Program, snacks were provided entirely by parents' donations. I knew that the majority of the time, my kids would be drinking juice and eating crackers for snack, because they last a long time and are relatively inexpensive compared to milk and fresh fruits or veggies. I just worked around that with the rest of their meals. But I soon realized that kindergarten severs parts of the maternal umbilical cord I had not anticipated, and provided opportunities for my kids to go far beyond the boundaries of healthy eating habits I had established at home.For starters, my kids discovered that they could choose chocolate milk instead of skim for lunch, and even morning snack, and that I would be none the wiser. Now that I have two children at Neshobe who share the same lunch period, they actually enjoy ratting each other out about what kind of milk each other ordered; but my newly minted kindergartener has also decided that sometimes it's better to order chocolate milk than to have the moral higher ground over his older brother. It wasn't until I started getting hit with food account overdue notices, however, that I realized my kids were also buying hotdogs, pizza, and other school lunches instead of eating what I had packed at home. My kids are enormously picky eaters; moreover, they will go months insisting on exactly the same lunch, only to suddenly refuse to eat that exact food for the next several years. My middle child, for example, asks for a lunch of cereal and yogurt every single day, but won't consider adding fruits or vegetables, despite the fact that as a toddler he would stuff entire bananas into his mouth. So I was surprised to discover that in the realm of school lunch, they were willing to be quite adventurous, eating shepherd's pie, American goulash, and other gloppy casseroles that would have been rejected with a "Yuck! No thank you!" at our dinner table at home. It's not only these saturated-fat-and-simple-carbohydrate lunch offerings that are the problem, however, although for kids who depend on school lunch as their primary nutritious meal of the day it is a troubling reality. There are usually one or two fruit and vegetable servings on the menu along with an additional dose of grains. Hot breakfasts are also nutritionally problematic: usually an offering of processed carbohydrates, like funnel cake, waffles, or pretzels, generally with a topping of sugar or syrup, and a side of juice. In addition, in order to help break even financially, the school cafeteria also sells Doritos, granola bars, and, twice a week, popsicles to those kids who can afford to bring in the money. If you look hard enough, you can find the nutritional components that children ages six to 12 are supposed to eat every day: three servings of low-fat or non-fat dairy; one to two more ounces of protein — not quite the recommended four to six recommended, and hardly the dietician's definition of "lean;" two servings of fruit, though the fruit is often juice rather than the preferred whole fruit; and three servings of grains — again, however, not always the whole grain option currently recognized as optimal to long term health (kids actually need six servings of grains a day, with at least three coming from whole grains). What's shockingly missing are the four servings of vegetables, with a mixture of "greens" and "oranges." That's the equivalent of two cups of cooked or four cups of raw vegetables every day.For kids dependent on reduced and free breakfast and lunch to provide two of three main meals a day — and at Neshobe, that's more than half our student population — the likelihood that they will go home to a dinner that consists of four ounces of fish, chicken, or lentils, one and a half cups of vegetables, and three servings of whole grains is doubtful. All the evidence of why lower income families have poorer nutrition points to the fact that lean protein and minimally processed vegetables are among the most expensive foods a family can buy. Friends of mine once experimented with what it would cost to feed their three children according to the federally-recommended food pyramid. The total bill came to $150 a week—and that was at Hannaford prices, for kids who are early elementary aged, not teenagers. Many children who eat school breakfast and lunch also get after school snacks provided by various child care organizations: the Brandon site of the Rutland County Parent Child Center, the Brandon Boys and Girls Club, and Neshobe's SOAR program. Here is another opportunity to provide kids with more veggies, whole grains and water, but all of these organizations are also confronting the same high costs of these healthy options as families and schools.The recent spate of Addison Independent articles state that commercial food services can offer comparable food at much lower costs to small schools. This is a boon to many hard-pressed school budgets this year. However, it seems to me that some of the savings should be invested in improving the overall offerings that these large food services provide. They can apply for Farm Fresh grants, provide only whole grain choices, negotiate bulk purchases of lean protein, and get more local, minimally processed vegetables in the school. According to one article, schools can negotiate these benefits in their contracts. It may cost more than a food service's "base" package, but it will surely cost less than the current burden of overweight children and poor health outcomes on our tax-supported health care system. And for schools like Neshobe, it serves our Home-School compact that encourages students to "Reach for Your Best."

Electronic Arts talks about 'enfant' CD-i
>> Tuesday, July 31, 2007
In April I posted a story about Electronic Arts and how they let go on any CD-i development in favor of their own baby the 3DO system. In 1988, Electronic Arts had their own CD-i developer, Greg Riker, and he was interviewed by "The Computer Chronicles" to talk about the vision of Electronic Arts about CD-i. They end with the line that EA planned to be a major developer for the CD-i system! Very nice video material, from, at that time, an influential source. Hosted by Stewart Cheifet, Computer Chronicles was the world's most popular television program on personal technology during the height of the personal computer revolution. It was broadcast for twenty years from 1983 - 2002. The program was seen on more than 300 television stations in the United States and in over 100 countries worldwide!
One of the reasons why CD-i never happened at Electronic Arts, may have been the fact that he moved to Microsoft in 1989: "Electronic Arts has lost a key programmer and creative talent to Microsoft. Greg Riker, formerly vice president of technology at Electronic Arts, a man who was spearheading EA's CD-I (compact-disk interactive) program, has joined Microsoft as director of development for the multimedia systems group."

This study will investigate the use of chemotherapy plus highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in patients with AIDS-related primary brain lymphoma. None of the drugs used in this study are experimental, but chemotherapy plus HAART has not been established as a standard treatment in patients with AIDS. The chemotherapy regimen used in this study (see below) was chosen because it may be less toxic to immune cells called T-lymphocytes than most drug treatments for lymphoma.
People with AIDS 18 and older and have primary brain lymphoma may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history and physical examination, MRI, CT and PET scans, cerebrospinal fluid studies, brain biopsy at tumor sites, if possible, electrocardiogram and blood tests.
Participants undergo six 2-week "induction treatment" cycles of HAART plus chemotherapy with methotrexate, rituximab and leucovorin, followed by two 4-week "consolidation" treatment cycles using HAART, methotrexate and leucovorin, and then HAART alone. Rituximab is given by intravenous (IV, through a vein) day 1 of each cycle. Also on day 1 IV fluids are given to lower acidity in the urine to protect the kidneys from the methotrexate. On day 2, methotrexate is infused through a vein over 4 hours. Starting 24 hours after initiation of the methotrexate infusion, leucovorin is given every 3 to 6 hours (first IV and then possibly by mouth) until the drug decreases to a target level in the blood. HAART is begun as soon as possible. The specific HAART regimen for each patient is determined individually. All patients are hospitalized the first week of every 2-week treatment cycle for safety monitoring. In addition to HAART and chemotherapy, patients undergo the following tests and procedures:
- Intellectual functioning: Before starting treatment, patients are tested for their ability to understand basic concepts and coordination in order to be able to evaluate how the brain lymphoma affects thinking and concentration. After the lymphoma appears to have resolved, more formal and intensive tests are done. The intensive tests are repeated each year, and shorter, interim tests are done about every 6 months. Also, a specialist periodically monitors patients' understanding of HAART and the importance of this therapy.
- Blood tests: Blood is drawn every day during hospitalizations to measure methotrexate levels and to evaluate kidney and liver function and blood counts. Blood is also drawn before starting therapy, when the lymphoma disappears, 6 months after completing treatment, and any time it appears that the lymphoma may have recurred to test for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a virus that is almost always present in AIDS-related primary brain lymphoma.
- Imaging tests: Patients undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans periodically to monitor the effects of treatment on the lymphoma. MRI scans are done after the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th treatments, then every 2 months for three times, every 3 months for six times, every 6 months for four times, and then every year for 5 years, or sooner if there is a concern about the brain. PET scans are done after the first cycle, after the MRI suggests the lymphoma is gone, and then yearly.
- Lumbar puncture (spinal tap): This test is done to look for EBV in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Under local anesthetic, a needle is inserted in the space between the bones in the lower back where the CSF circulates below the spinal cord and a small amount of fluid is collected through the needle. This test is done at the same times as the blood tests for EBV.
- Eye examinations: Patients' eyes are examined periodically because brain lymphoma can sometimes spread to the eye and because some people with AIDS-related primary brain lymphoma are at risk of certain eye infections.

|Phase 2
Background: AIDS-related primary central nervous system lymphoma (AR-PCNSL) is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-driven lymphoproliferative process that typically results in death within a few months. Essentially all of the cases are immunoblastic CD20+ tumors, and occur once the CD4+ cells have fallen to below 50 cells/mm^3. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can result in immune reconstitution that decreases the risk of AR-PCNSL. However, a subset of HIV-infected patients still develops ARPCNSL, often because they are unaware that they are HIV infected, or they do not take HAART. Treatment options for such patients are limited. In the non-AIDS setting, chemotherapy has become the standard of care for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) and late neurocognitive decline consequent to radiotherapy can be avoided by such approaches. In the pre-HAART era, AR-PCNSL was generally treated with whole brain radiotherapy, however death due to recurrent lymphoma or to other AIDS complications occurred prior to the potential manifestations of late occurring radiation-related neurotoxicity. Radiation-sparing approaches have not been studied in AR-PCNSL in the HAART era, where advances in antiretroviral therapy have made curative intent chemotherapy feasible for most patients with HIV infection.
Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to estimate the fraction of patients with AR-PCNSL receiving experimental treatment consisting of HAART, combined with rituximab, high-dose methotrexate and leucovorin (R-HD-MTX) who are alive and without recurrent lymphoma or severe cognitive problems at two years. .
Eligibility: HIV-infected, age 18 years or older, AR-PCSNL that has not previously been treated, and be able to give informed consent or have a durable power of attorney who can provide informed consent, HIV profile that makes them likely to respond to HAART. There are a number of other specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, in part to exclude patients who would be unlikely to tolerate the therapy.
Design: Phase II pilot study investigating R-HD-MTX given with leucovorin rescue and HAART as a treatment for AR-PCNSL. Evaluation will include quantitative measurement of lymphocyte subsets, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of HIV and EBV viral loads (including both blood and cerebrospinal fluid in the case of EBV) to assess immune response and anti-viral effects. Tumor evaluation with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and brain fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET scans) will be used for staging and response assessment. Longitudinal neuropsychologic testing after complete responses are documented will serve to evaluate neurocognitive parameters post therapy.

TORONTO (Reuters) - Verizon Communications Inc (VZ.N) has offered to buy Canadian telecom startup Wind Mobile and is in talks to acquire Mobilicity, as it seeks to challenge Canada's three big wireless providers, sources familiar with the deals said on Wednesday.
One of the sources said Verizon had last week presented a tentative offer of $600 million to $800 million for Wind Mobile, with final pricing subject to due diligence. Another source cited Verizon's talks with Mobility, a rival startup.
Both sources declined to be named because they are not authorized to speak to the media.
The U.S. telecom leader, which sold its minority stake in Telus Corp (T.TO) in 2004, is looking to re-enter the Canadian market to boost its growth prospects.
For a relatively small sum, the potential deals would allow Verizon to re-enter Canada's high margin wireless business, placing it in a good position ahead of a government auction of spectrum, or wireless frequencies, said Barclays analyst Amir Rozwadowski.
Stocks of Canada's three biggest telecoms players, which control about 90 percent of the market, tumbled following the news on Wednesday, as the potential deals could reshape the Canadian wireless market with much more competition.
Telus fell 8 percent to C$30.70, Rogers Communications Inc (RCIb.TO) lost 9.2 percent to C$41.67, and BCE Inc (BCE.TO) fell 4 percent at C$41.57.
The Canadian government last year eased foreign ownership restrictions for telecom operators whose revenue is less than 10 percent of the national market total. The acquirer can remain in Canada even if its share increases organically.
If Verizon enters Canada it could take up to 1.5 million subscribers from the Big Three over five years, said Macquarie analyst Greg MacDonald.
This would result in billions of dollars of lost revenue and substantially hurt valuations of the trio, analysts said.
Mobilicity, Wind and Public Mobile, the three startups that emerged from a 2008 government auction of spectrum, entered the market with cheap talk-and-text plans. While the Big Three faced pressure, the startups have yet to turn a profit, and Mobilicity debtholders are set to vote on a recapitalization plan early next week.
A number of carriers are jockeying to strike deals ahead of a second big auction for the coveted 700 mhz spectrum, which requires fewer towers than higher-frequency airwaves.
Other sources familiar with the situation have said that all the three startups have attracted offers from the three big Canadian players.
But the government wants to boost competition, and has made it clear that it does not want the startups to go to existing operators. Earlier this month, it quashed Telus' C$380 million bid for Mobilicity by blocking the transfer of Mobilicity's spectrum.
A bid from Verizon would likely be far more tempting to Ottawa, given that it would create a carrier able to boost competition across the country.
In March, the government said it was too early to talk about lifting foreign ownership restrictions for the large telcos. But it is expected to soon announce a policy on spectrum transfers and this will give Verizon more certainty on how to proceed.
Verizon declined to comment. Last week, Chief Financial Officer Fran Shammo however, confirmed publicly that Verizon was interested in entering the Canadian market.
A Wind spokeswoman and a Mobilicity spokesman both declined to comment.
Any new entrants will seek to clarify their ownership before September 17, the deadline to apply for the 700 megahertz spectrum auction due to start on January 14. Auction rules preclude talks between bidding parties after an initial expression of interest.
Seven blocks are available in the auction, but bidders will likely covet four that are aligned with the spectrum bought by AT&T (T.N) and Verizon in the United States.
The government has said BCE, Telus and Rogers can each obtain only one of these prime blocks, leaving new entrants and regional cable operators such as Quebecor Inc (QBRa.TO) and Shaw Communications (SJRb.TO) to compete for the fourth.
Verizon is already using 700 MHz airwaves to build a U.S. network capable of handling heavy data use such as streaming video. Acquiring the same spectrum in Canada would let Verizon buy high-end devices at a discount.
Ottawa aims to raise at least C$900 million in the 700 MHz auction, but proceeds are expected to far exceed that as carriers jostle for the bandwidth upon which their networks depend. The 2008 spectrum auction brought in more than C$4 billion for the government.

John Joseph Hall (born July 23, 1948) is an American musician, politician, environmentalist and community activist. He was elected to the county legislature of Ulster County, New York, in 1989 and to the Saugerties, New York, Board of Education in 1991, and he was the U.S. Representative for New York's 19th congressional district, serving from 2007 to 2011. He is a member of the Democratic Party.
The 19th District includes all or part of five counties on both sides of the Hudson River: Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Orange and Rockland, with more than 650,000 residents. Hall also founded the rock band Orleans in 1972, a musical collaboration that continues to this day.

Musical career
Hall was born in Baltimore and grew up in Elmira, New York, son of James A. Hall, PhD in Electrical Engineering and Marie W. Hall, MA in Divinity. A three-time National Science Foundation summer scholar, he skipped two grades in school and left Notre Dame High School in Elmira at age sixteen to study physics at the University of Notre Dame, and then Loyola College, Baltimore.
He led another life in music, starting with piano at age 4, studying French horn in school and teaching himself guitar and bass. After changing his concentration to creative writing and performing in numerous musical ensembles, Hall quit college to begin his professional musical career in the clubs of Georgetown, DC, and then Greenwich Village. In 1967, his group Kangaroo released an album on MGM Records,[1] and Hall also composed music for a Broadway theatre trilogy Morning, Noon and Night. While playing at Cafe Wha in Greenwich Village, he met his first wife, Johanna Schier, with whom he moved to Woodstock, and then Saugerties, New York, wrote many songs and fathered a daughter, Lillian Sofi Hall. He also found time to release his debut solo album, Action in 1970.
He was already a songwriter and/or session musician for such artists as Janis Joplin, Seals & Crofts, Taj Mahal and Bonnie Raitt when, in late January 1972, he founded Orleans in Ulster County, New York with Wells Kelly and Larry Hoppen. Lance Hoppen, Larry's brother, joined the band later in that year, completing the Orleans lineup that would last throughout the band's most successful period. Orleans released two albums on ABC Records, and two on David Geffen's Asylum Records label, the latter two including the top five hits "Dance With Me" and "Still The One" which are each certified by BMI at more than 4 million airplays in the U.S. alone.
In 1977, Hall left to concentrate on the solo career that had begun with the Action album at the beginning of the decade and became active in the anti-nuclear movement, fighting to stop a nuclear plant planned for Cementon on the Hudson River, and co-founding Musicians United for Safe Energy with Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt and Graham Nash. His second solo recording of that period (his third overall) included the title track "Power," which became an environmental anthem performed by Pete Seeger, Peter Paul and Mary, Holly Near, and the Doobie Brothers and James Taylor who cut it live at the No Nukes Concerts at Madison Square Garden. At the dawn of the 1980s, he formed the John Hall Band, which consisted of Hall, keyboardist and vocalist Bob Leinbach, bassist and vocalist John Troy, and drummer Eric Parker. The John Hall Band released two albums on the EMI America label with high AOR and MTV visibility but limited Top 40 success. "Crazy (Keep On Fallin')," from the album All of the Above, was the band's only major hit (U.S. #42)[2] and was in heavy rotation on MTV for months.
On a parallel track, during his residence in Saugerties, Hall co-founded two citizens' groups: Saugerties Concerned Citizens and the Winston Farm Alliance. The former helped close down many illegal junkyards operating in the town; the latter successfully opposed the siting of a giant dump and incinerator on the historic Winston Farm, named after the engineer James Winston, who designed New York City's system of reservoirs and aqueducts. Hall also served one term in the Ulster County Legislature, and was elected twice to the Saugerties Board of Education, where his fellow trustees elected him President.
Hall spent decades writing songs for other artists and reunited with Orleans in 1985, rejoining them intermittently up through 2006. Meanwhile, John and Johanna separated and divorced, and he moved from their house in Saugerties, New York, living briefly in Hunter, NY, then in Nashville, TN. There he wrote more songs including co-writing Steve Wariner's #1 country hit "You Can Dream of Me," began touring with Jonell Mosser and Freebo, and continued sporadically performing with Orleans. More importantly, he met and fell in love with Pamela Bingham, a guitarist and attorney whom he would marry in 2001. In 2005, he released Rock Me on the Water, an album of songs inspired by an extensive sailing trip that took John and Pamela Melanie (as she is known to her friends) from Kingston, New York, to Key West, with a side-trip to Havana, Cuba on a legal humanitarian aid delivery, and later Martha's Vineyard, Cuttyhunk, and Annapolis, Maryland. He also formed the band Gulf Stream Night with longtime Orleans drummer Peter O'Brien, percussionist Joakim Lartey, bassist Bobby MacDougal, and his wife Pamela, who co-wrote four of the songs on the CD, on vocals and guitar. Having sold the boat and moved back to the Hudson Valley of New York, this time to Dutchess County, the Halls began to settle in and make new friends in Dover and Millbrook, where "Gulf Stream Night" was recorded.
Orleans also released a new CD in 2005, Dancin' in the Moonlight, containing many of Hall's writing collaborations, guitar parts and vocals, and two songs co-written by John and Pamela Melanie Hall. During the fall of 2005, Hall's dissatisfaction with the incumbent Congresswoman representing his new home town contributed to his decision to put musical projects aside and run for the seat in NY's 19th Congressional District. He defeated several other Democratic candidates in the primary, and surprised many[who?] by winning the election over 12-year incumbent Sue Kelly. As a member of the House of Representatives for four years, Hall served on the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and the House Veterans Affairs Committee. Perhaps his biggest impact in Washington came as a result of his appointment by then Speaker Nancy Pelosi to be Chairman of the Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs. One of only three freshmen Representatives assigned a chairmanship, Hall used his chairmanship to hold hearings, take testimony from VA officials, veterans and their families, health and mental health experts, officers active and retired, and representatives of virtually every Veterans' Service organization. The result was the Veterans Claims Modernization Act of 2008, which passed the House and Senate unanimously and was signed into law by President George W. Bush, who called it "good government".
Hall was re-elected easily in 2008 over Republican Kieran Lalor, but lost in the 2010 election to doctor and drug company publicist Nan Hayworth. After serving ten years in elective office, and citing the prohibitive campaign fund-raising necessary as a result of the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. FEC,[citation needed] Hall announced that he would not seek re-election.
Although his musical career was on hold during his time in office, Hall performed at the concert honoring the 90th birthday of Pete Seeger, supporting the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater at Madison Square Garden in New York City on May 3, 2009. He joined other performers in the singing of "Oh Mary Don't You Weep" and later joined the entire cast for an encore, singing "Good Night, Irene". In August 2011, Hall joined his MUSE cohorts Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, and Crosby Stills and Nash along with Jason Mraz, the Doobie Brothers and Tom Morello for a benefit concert in Mountain View, California, proceeds to aid victims of the tsunami and nuclear meltdowns in Fukushima, Japan, and to promote renewable energy. John and Pamela Hall, along with co-lyricist Bob Furlong, wrote the song "I Told You So" and performed it with Browne, Raitt and Nash at the concert.
Hall is currently[when?] dividing his time between performing solo and with Orleans, and writing for a new project.
Early political career
In late October 2004, Hall publicly commented that the presidential campaign of George W. Bush had not asked for permission to use the Orleans song "Still the One" at campaign events. The campaign later dropped the song from their playlist. Four years later, Hall expressed similar disapproval when John McCain's presidential campaign also used the song without asking for permission.[3]
He has been involved with Mid-Hudson Nuclear Opponents, who successfully fought the siting of a nuclear power plant on the Hudson River in Greene County. While living in Saugerties, New York, Hall co-founded Saugerties Concerned Citizens, and helped write the town's first zoning law. When Ulster County announced plans for a 200-acre (0.81 km2) solid waste dump on the historic Winston Farm, Hall led the opposition. This effort culminated in his 1989 election to the Ulster County Legislature. In the late 1990s, after three successive school budgets were rejected by the voters, John ran for, and was elected twice to, the Saugerties Board of Education. His fellow trustees elected him president, and budgets were passed each year of Hall's tenure.[4]
Political positions
Hall is only the third Democrat to represent what is now the 19th district since World War I. (The first was George McClellan, from 1913–15 when it was the 27th District; the second was Joseph Y. Resnick from 1965–69, when it was the 28th District.)
Despite representing an historically Republican area, Hall has described himself as a progressive Democrat. He was a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.[5][6][7] In the beginning of the 110th Congress, Hall voted to raise minimum wage and federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.[8][9]
Prior to the election, Hall expressed interest in drug policy reform, noting that many of his best friends and mentors in the music industry partake in recreational drug use without adverse effects. At SUNY New Paltz, during a March 11, 2006 audio interview, he said that drug prohibition had "failed" and that he agreed with Maurice Hinchey on the need for reform on Plan Colombia, Medical Marijuana, and a provision of the Higher Education Act that denies financial aid to students with drug offenses. However, in July 2007, John Hall voted against an amendment by Hinchey that would end the raid of medical marijuana patients.[10]
Hall voted for the Healthcare Reform Bill that passed in the House on November 7, 2009 as well as the Senate bill on March 21, 2010. He opposed the Stupak Amendment which proposed to restrict the use of federal funds for abortion funding. He was also a critic of BP's handling of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.[11]
Hall was assigned to serve on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and was chairman of the Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs of the Veterans Affairs Committee in the 110th Congress.
Political campaigns
Hall ran for Congress in the 19th District in the September 2006 primary race as a Democrat in New York's 19th congressional district. He won the primary, with a commanding 48% in a 4-way race, and faced incumbent Sue W. Kelly in the November election. Hall defeated Kelly with 51% of the vote, losing to Kelly in Putnam, Dutchess, and Rockland counties, but carrying the incumbent's home county of Westchester, as well as Orange, to pull off the upset.
According to an article in the Hudson Valley newspaper, the Middletown Times Herald-Record, two days after his primary victory, Hall, in an online chat with the progressive blog Firedoglake, was asked about his position on a possible impeachment of then-President George W. Bush. Hall stopped short of endorsing impeachment "before hearing evidence", but added that "Whether impeachment or censure, some action must be taken to circumscribe the powers of the presidency". When pressed on the issue, "he candidly reminded the probing blogger, 'I'm trying to get elected in an historically Republican district.'"[12]
Hall was interviewed by Comedy Central-based satirist Stephen Colbert on October 19, 2006 for a "Better Know a District" segment of his popular comedy show, The Colbert Report. Stephen Colbert said that he opposes everything that John Hall stands for, but Hall was willing to talk to him; Sue Kelly turned down the opportunity to be interviewed so John Hall picked a "Smear Card" which said "My opponent smokes marijuana". Colbert replied by saying "That's a bold accusation, that someone in the press should investigate or at least look up on because it's out there now; it's out there now that Sue Kelly smokes pot. DEA, check out her house. Look for Grow Lights. I'm not saying it. He is". As the centerpiece of the interview, Colbert eventually convinced Hall to harmonize with him on the Orleans song "Dance with Me". He made a brief encore appearance on The Colbert Report the day after his election, November 8, joining Colbert in a harmonized rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner.
Although the 19th is an historically Republican district, Republicans had trouble recruiting a strong challenger to Hall. Several potential top-tier candidates, such as State Assemblyman Greg Ball, Orange County Executive Ed Diana, and former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer all declined to run for the seat. Andrew Saul, head of the Federal Thrift Retirement Investment Board had begun raising funds for a campaign but announced on November 20, 2007 that he would not run.[13] In February 2008, however, Saul was rumored to be considering entering the race once again and had launched online polls to gauge interest.[14]
Hall drew numerous potential challengers for the 2008 race, including Iraq veteran Kieran Lalor and Westchester County Legislator George Oros. Other potential challengers included Sue Kelly, ex-Congressman Joseph J. DioGuardi, ex-State Superintendent of Insurance Howard Mills, ex-NYC Finance Commissioner and State Tax Commissioner Andrew Eristoff, Emily Pataki, the daughter of former Governor George Pataki, and ex-Pataki campaign manager Michael Finnegan. Having received the endorsement of the Republican committees in all five counties in the district, Lalor was the only remaining Republican challenger.
On November 4, 2008 Hall was re-elected to serve the 19th district of New York in the 111th session of the United States Congress. He defeated Republican newcomer Kieran Lalor, taking 59% of the vote.[15] In January 2009, Hall declared his support for Kirsten Gillibrand becoming the junior senator of New York, a seat vacated by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.[16]
Facing a tough re-election, Hall lost to Republican nominee Nan Hayworth in the 2010 election.

If you've been using Gaim in the past, you probably know that it is no longer available now. The name of the program has been permanently changed to Pidgin. Even though Pidgin has been released for awhile, I've been still running Gaim Beta 2 until tonight. Well, not that I don't want to install Pidgin, I just didn't know how to do it. I tried to search for Pidgin openSUSE binary package in Google in the past for a few times without any success.
Tonight, while I was maintaining the repository list in my system, I finally could install Pidgin. So here is how you can achieve the same thing.
Add the following repository to the Yast (or Smart) package manager if it's not already there:
type = rpm-md
name = GNOME-Community
baseurl = http://software.opensuse.org/download/GNOME:/Community/openSUSE_10.2/
Now, try to search for pidgin in Yast, you should see a list of packages containing: pidgin, pidgin-debuginfo, pidgin-devel, …etc. Please choose a minimum of two packages: pidgin and libpurple and install them. After finish the installation, you can launch pidgin from the menu.

Homeless merry-go-round under I-280 ramp
S.F. neighborhoods
Homeless campers staying at a makeshift settlement near San Francisco's Caltrain station said Monday they would welcome housing and services if they were readily accessible, but for now they are stuck being bounced in and out of their camp by police and cleaning crews.
The camp has been beneath an Interstate 280 on-ramp at Fifth and King streets for years, but during the past month officials have renewed efforts to clear it in reaction to neighbor complaints and a fire that burned one occupant's belongings and scorched the concrete freeway structure.
"Very few people actually want to be homeless, but services and housing aren't as available as they should be," said John Gallagher, a member of the Coalition on Homelessness speaking for the campers. "There's already weeks of waiting for a long-term shelter bed ... and even when people get promised long-term housing, it doesn't always pan out" for a variety of reasons, including bureaucratic tangles or rule violations.
At night, the camp's population totals about a dozen people living in tents or handmade shacks, but that number can double during the day. It sits on property belonging to the California Department of Transportation, and state officials every week or so tell the campers to move - which they do, to an adjacent paved right-of-way owned by the city.
Working on solution
San Francisco officials then tell the campers to get off the pavement, so they move back under the freeway where they came from. Meanwhile, some campers say their belongings get thrown away during city clean-outs rather than stored as city policy requires. City officials say only trash gets tossed.
Caltrans officials say they are working on a solution: installing a sturdy fence to block campers entering the area under the freeway. But there is no target date yet for the fence.
"The city should leave these people alone or find them some housing; otherwise, you're just sweeping them around from one place to another," Gallagher said at a news conference called by the homeless to give more of their side of the situation.
Bevan Dufty, who heads the city's efforts to help the homeless, said there is enough temporary housing and shelter to absorb the campers, but it requires some effort by the recipients.
Dufty noted that outreach workers have connected at least nine homeless campers with services and are regularly engaging the rest to hook them up with housing and counseling.
"We are not in the business of pushing people around, but people need to make responsible choices," he said. "It's not safe for them to stay at that location. We can respond and meet people's needs."
Seeking common ground
Meanwhile, the campers are frustrated by the increased attention on what they say is a safer haven for them as a group than living scattered on the streets. Several said last week's fire was set by an unwelcome visitor and that their efforts to clear out rats and other problems are misunderstood.
"We try to have some common ground and rules of decency here," said Ian Smith, 33, who has been at the camp for six months. "If the people complaining about the camp got to know us, I'm sure they'd be a lot more impressed. Remember - this could be your nephew, your daughter or your son out here."

With the increasing popularity of tablets in both the home and enterprise, many companies have released their own version of the handheld device — with the exception of Hewlett-Packard, who recently bowed out of the competition by discontinuing its TouchPad range. However, with so many options available, how does one find a tablet that is suitable to their needs?
Read Techworld Australia's Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 review
In this week's "Which tablet should I buy", Computerworld Australia has reviewed the Motorola Xoom and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v to help you find the tablet that's right for you.
See Which tablet should I buy? iPad vs Xoom.
Running on Google's latest Android 3.0 'Honeycomb' operating system, the Motorola Xoom and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v both have similar key features. These include things like an action bar, which is displayed at the top of the screen; five home screens which can be customised; a recent apps list, making multitasking easier; a redesigned onscreen keyboard, making usage effortless; a new browser, which displays Flash content with minimal delay as well as support of tabbed Web browsing and 3D graphics.
Both the Xoom and the Galaxy Tab 10.1v have very similar touchscreen displays. The screens are both 10.1in in size with a resolution of 1280 x 800. Both the Xoom and the Galaxy Tab 10.1v offer 3G connectivity.
Another similarity emerges when investigating the processors. The Xoom is powered by a 1GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, while the Galaxy Tab 10.1v runs Samsung's own 1GHz dual-core chip. Both tablets have a sizable 1GB of RAM making their performance is therefore very similar.
So, with many similarities, how does the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v differ to the Motorola Xoom?
Perhaps the most notable difference is in their memory. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v has a mere 16GB of internal storage compared to the Xoom, which has a more impressive 32GB. The Galaxy lacks a microSD card slot for extra storage. This is disappointing if you are after a tablet which can store a large amount of digital media.
The Xoom, conversely, comes with a micro SDcard slot for memory expansion. It also has a HDMI-out port whereas the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v lacks both HDMI-out and USB ports. Hence, the Motorla Xoom is a far better choice in these arenas.
If it is essential that you have a good camera then this is where the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v stands out. It has a rear 8-megapixel rear camera that doubles as a 1080p HD video recorder, and a 2-megapixel front camera for video calls. The Motorola Xoom has a 5-megapixel rear camera for photographs and video, and a 2-megapixel front camera for video calls. The Xoom can record 720p HD video which is only slightly less than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v.
The Galaxy weighs less than the Xoom (600g vs 730g) making it more portable. The difference is small but there. If overall look and feel is important, then the Xoom is the more slick of the two. The Galaxy has a plastic body compared to the Xoom which is metal. This gives it a more chic appearance.

This week's Formidable Female Protagonists contains Ariane Kedros, Chanur, Priscilla Hutchins and Kylara Vatta all favorite characters. It has been fun researching the list, I pick up new books to read all the time. 35 down and 36 more protagonists to go. The females are carefully selected by me, their names written on paper, folded and put in one of two bowls, one for new-to-me and one for read-by-me. I then select four read and one new-to-me and write about them. I am open to suggestions for more females to include.
Here is the list, read about them below.
- Ariane Kedros – Killer of Worlds (Laura E. Reeve)
- Pyanfar Chanur – Alien Trader (C. J. Cherryh)
- Priscilla 'Hutch' Hutchins – Starship Pilot (Jack McDevitt)
- Kylara Vatta – Fixing The Family (Elizabeth Moon)
- Cirroco Jones – Captain & Wizard (John Varley)
Ariane Kedros – Killer of Worlds
Book: Peacekeeper (2008), Vigilante (2009), Pathfinder (July 2010)
Series: Major Ariane Kedros
Author: Laura E. Reeve
Publisher: ROC Penguin Group
Genre: Military Science Fiction
Major Ariana Kedros, killer of worlds, is a resourceful and guilt ridden heroine. Her adventures takes place in an universe called Minoan Space. Read more about it on AncestralStars – Laura E. Reeve's homepage.
Meet major ariane kedros—daring pilot, decorated soldier, war criminal.
Fifteen years ago, Ariane Kedros piloted a ship on a mission that obliterated an entire solar system. Branded a war criminal, she was given a new identity and a new life in order to protect her from retribution.
But now, twelve of Ariane's wartime colleagues are dead— assassinated by someone who has uncovered their true identities. And her superiors in the Autonomist army have placed her directly in the assassin's line of fire on a peacekeeping mission that will decide the fate of all humanity…
Amidst an uneasy peace between the Autonomists and the Terrans, Major Ariane Kedros and her partner, Matthew Journey, have discovered alien ruins on a remote planet-ruins that bear evidence to an ancient and highly advanced technology. But their discovery has drawn the interest of high stakes players from every corner of the universe-including that of the rogue leader of a fringe Terran sect. Ari must find a way to stop him, before they all become ancient history…
Reserve Major Ariane Kedros needs a shot at redemption— and the mysterious aliens known as the Minoans need an extraordinary human pilot with a rejuv-stimulated metabolism like Ariane for a dangerous expedition to a distant solar system. But there's a catch. the minoans have to implant their technology in Ariane's body, and it might not be removable. Ariane is willing, but as she begins the perilous journey, there is an old enemy hiding within the exploration team who is determined to see them fail…
Pyanfar Chanur – Alien Pilot
Books: The Pride of Chanur (1981), Chanur's Venture (1984), The Kif Strike Back (1985), CHanur's Homecoming (1986), Chanur's Legacy (1992)
Omnibus: The Chanur Saga (2000, book 1-3), Chanur's Endgame (2007, book 4-5)
Series: The Chanur Novels, The Chanur'e Venture Trilogy (2-4)
Author: C. J. Cherryh
Publisher: DAW
Genre: Science Fiction
This is one of the most believable alien point of view stories I have read so far. The only sad thing about it is that we don't get to see more of the humans. At least my racial ego would like to be seen from outside. But I guess that the humans in the Alliance-Union universe are not so nice. How is it that C.J. Cherryh can make really likable Aliens but most of her humans are not, unless they grow up among aliens?
The series is set in the same Alliance-Union universe of Downbelow Station, but in a region of space in the opposite direction from Earth as the Alliance and Union. It is occupied by a number of spacefaring civilizations bound by a set of trade treaties into a so-called Compact. The Compact is not a political organization, and has no government; it regulates only the open trade and accessibility of space stations to all civilizations, leaving them to resolve their conflicts and politics between themselves.
Priscilla 'Hutch' Hutchins – Starship Pilot
Books: The Engines of God (1994), Deepsix (1984), Chindi (2002), Omega (2003), Odyssey (2006), Cauldron (2007)
Series: Academy Series
Authors: Jack McDevitt
Publisher: ACE
Genre: Science Fiction | First Contact
Priscilla is a reluctant hero, but she does what is necessary. She has to struggle with administration that doesn't support proper funding wanting to do it on the cheap (NASA anyone?).
With The Engines of God, McDevitt introduced the idea of a universe that was once teeming with intelligent life, but contains only their abandoned artifacts by the time humans arrive on the scene. Although it was initially written as a standalone novel, the main character of The Engines of God, pilot Priscilla Hutchins, has since appeared in five more books. The mystery surrounding the destructive "Omega Clouds" (which are introduced in The Engines of God) is left unexplored until Omega.
McDevitt's novels frequently raise questions which he does not attempt to answer. He prefers to leave ambiguities to puzzle and intrigue his readers: "Some things are best left to the reader's very able imagination."
Kylara Vatta – Fixing the Family
Books: Trading in Danger (2003), Marque and Reprisal/Moving Target (2004), Engaging the Enemy (2006), Command Decision (2007), Victory Condition (2008)
Series: Vatta's War
Author: Elizabeth Moon
Publisher: Del Ray | Orbit
Grene: Space Opera| Military Science Fiction
Another great military science fiction about a young girl kicked out of the Academy and given her own ship that have to take on a galactic conspiracy. Liked the series but the fifth volume felt a bit weak.
The books follow the adventures of Kylara Vatta, a young member of the Vatta family, which runs the interstellar shipping corporation Vatta Enterprises. She had sought a life outside the family business by enrolling in the Slotter Key Spaceforce Academy, but she is forced to resign in her final year and assigned to captain an old trading ship for the corporation. Her military training is put to good use, however, during the crises she faces, first as a ship captain in dangerous situations, and later as the representative of a family under attack.
The first book, Trading in Danger, is narrowly focused on Ky and the local crisis in which she becomes involved. The perspective expands in the later books as connections between piracy and ansible attacks on the one hand and Vatta Enterprises and InterStellar Communications Corporation (ISC) on the other are revealed.
Cirroco Jones – Captain & Wizard
Books: Titan (1979), Wizard (1980), Demon (1984)
Series: The Gaean Trilogy
Author: John Varley
Publisher: Berkley/Putnam | Penguin
Grenre: First Contact | Science Fantasy | Mystic Fiction
Captain Cirroco Jones is new to me, the story sounds interesting so I will put it on my to-read list.
The Gaea Trilogy consists of three science fiction novels by John Varley. The stories tell of humanity's encounter with a living being in the shape of a 1,300 km diameter space habitat, inhabited by many different species, most notably Titanides, in orbit around the planet Saturn.
When Cirrocco Jones, captain of the spaceship Ringmaster, and his crew are captured by Gaea, a planet-sized creature that orbits around Saturn, they find themselves inside a bizarre world inhabited by centaurs, harpies, and constantly shifting environments.
Human explorers have entered the sprawling mind of the alien Gaea. Now they must fight her will. For she is much too powerful. And definitely insane.
The satellite-sized alien Gaea has gone completely insane. She has transformed her love of old movies into monstrous realities. She is Marilyn Monroe. She is King Kong. And now she must be destroyed.

State Rep. John Zerwas, a Simonton Republican who oversees human services on the House Appropriations Committee, is helping to keep open Texas' options for coming up with a way to draw down billions of federal dollars for health care for the poor.
Zerwas on Friday filed House Bill 3791, which could serve as the vehicle if Republican leaders who oppose Medicaid expansion in its current form are able to agree on a proposal to the federal government.
Other lawmakers also have filed bills concerning Medicaid expansion or potential alternatives.
The Medicaid question dominated the legislative session last week, when House Speaker Joe Straus told us in a Wednesday interview that GOP leaders must move beyond just saying no to expansion and come up with a plan that will work for Texas.
Zerwas' bill drew immediate praise from Dan Stultz, president and chief executive officer of the Texas Hospital Association. Stultz said in a statement:
"Representative Zerwas' bill will allow Texas leaders to craft and customize a coverage reform package that utilizes Medicaid expansion funds to reduce uncompensated care at Texas hospitals and eliminate detrimental cost-shifting to the private market. We know that uninsured patients still require health care, and Texas leaders will be able to use this bill as a mechanism to reduce the effect of the state's massive uninsured population on businesses and the insured. Doing so will vastly improve the state's business infrastructure by increasing worker access to primary care, which promotes increased workplace efficiency and decreased morbidity and mortality."
