Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was sentenced Tuesday morning to 30 to 60 years in prison for sexually abusing young boys, but not before giving a rambling statement in front of the judge for about 15 minutes.
"For the rest of your life," Judge John Cleland told the 68-year-old Sandusky as he read the terms of the sentence.
Sandusky, who coached Penn State's defense for 30 years and ran a charity for troubled children, was sentenced on 45 counts of child sex abuse, a scandal that rocked the Penn State football program and the university itself.
Sandusky gave the convulated, rambling statement in court, one day after proclaiming his innocence in a defiant audio statement released from prison. He wore a red prison jump suit and appeared visibly thinner.
"I feel a need to talk not from arrogance, but from my heart," Sandusky said in the courtroom. "I didn't do these alleged disgusting acts."
"I've been confined to a small room. I meditate, eat, read, write, all in a small room. ... You find out who's with you in the fourth quarter. Who'll go through the hurt and the pain, and get you where you want to go."
NBC News Legal Analyst Wes Oliver characterized Jerry Sandusky's statement in court as an emotionally unstable effort to preserve his legacy.
"I mean he didn't even seem with it. There was a time when he said, I remember this quote well, 'I've been kissed by dogs, I've been bitten by dogs,' I mean, it just seemed very bizarre," Oliver said.
Lead prosecutor, Joe McGettigan said Sandusky's statement was a "masterpiece of banal self-delusion."
Legal experts say Judge Cleland could have imposed a much stiffer sentence on Sandusky but instead chose to stick with sentencing guidelines. Matt Casey, an attorney for Victims 3, 7 and 10, spoke to NBC10 shortly after the verdict was announced.
"They have confidence that Judge Cleland took his obligations seriously. Jerry Sandusky is never going to get out of prison. If you walk through the individual accounts there may be some sentences that we might take issue with but in aggregate the man is going to die in prison -- that he will never be able to do this to anyone else, that probably was the most important part of this for our clients, that he would never be able to do it to anyone else," said Casey.
In his audio statement released Monday, Sandusky said there was a conspiracy against him. IN the sentencing hearing, Cleland called this theory "unbelievable."
"The crime is not only what you did to the bodies, but the crime is also the assault to their psyches and their souls," Cleland said. "The tragedy of this crime is that it is a crime of betrayal."
Prosecutor Joseph McGettigan said that Sandusky used his charity, Second MIle, as a "victim factory."
"He selected the most vulnerable to prey on," McGettigan said. "If the words existed that would undo the harm and pain, I would say them."
After the sentencing, Penn State President Rodney Erickson issued a statement saying in part, "While today's sentence cannot erase what has happened, hopefully it will provide comfort to those affected by these horrible events and help them continue down the road to recovery."
In his audio statement and his statement in court, Sandusky continued to deny what he called "false allegations." He said his wife Dottie is the only person he's ever had sex with and that he was brought down by a web of conspirators who wanted him convicted. He also blamed his downfall on one of the victims.
"There is another side to this," said Joseph Amendola, Sandusky's attorney. "We have a gentleman who, by many accounts, was a generous, kind, giving person. It's a sad day for everyone."
Sandusky oversaw Penn State's powerful defense for 30 years. He was accused of preying on young boys whom he met through his Second Mile Charity, a group devoted to helping under-privileged children.
The allegations that he raped some of these boys, forcing himself on one in a Penn State locker room shower and another in his own basement, shocked the Penn State community, where Sandusky had been revered in the community. Through his charity, he would take kids to football games, helped them find their way through tough lives and even adopted them.
The late head coach Joe Paterno, arguably the most important figure in modern Penn State history, was fired amid allegations he did not properly report concerns about Sandusky to law enforcement officials. Two other top Penn State officials, athletic director Tim Curley and senior vice president Gary Schultz, have yet to face trial on charges they lied to a grand jury about their knowledge of Sandusky's crimes.
The NCAA hit Penn State with a $60 million fine, vacated all wins going back to 1998 and reduced the number of scholarships.
Sandusky is 68 and his sentence today is expected to keep him in prison for the rest of his life. Sandusky's legal team is expected to start the appeals process after the sentencing.

I just noticed that there's a programming contest at SIGMOD this year. The problem is relatively simple and tractable, although there are some interesting wrinkles:
- The data is inserted "online" by 50 concurrent threads, which means there is no opportunity to do offline bulk build/reorganization of the index.
- Solutions need to provide serializability, including avoiding the "phantom problem" (although that shouldn't be too hard: next-key locking should work).
- Solutions are also penalized when they fail to meet a response-time SLA, which makes good performance about more than merely maximizing throughput.

A Look Into Sema's Industry-Only Event From A Mopar Perspective
The show season winds down in September for the most part, and those of us in more weather-intense climates put our wheel treasures into the garages for the annual winter makeover. But the chill winds of October mean manufacturers can begin unveiling their latest designs for the off-season thrash and coming year. The event where most of this grandstanding takes place is the huge Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The SEMA show is the granddaddy of them all. While the PRI show in Indianapolis has been a growing venue for cutting-edge technology, nothing matches the awe-inspiring immensity of the 1,120,000-square-foot Vegas facility's hosting 6,200 booths filled with new and exotic equipment. As a gearhead, one can't help but feel like a kid in a candy store. Coupled with the AAPEX (Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo) and TANA (Tire Association of North America), the four-day event from Tuesday through Friday is the largest gathering of automotive and tire industry professionals in the world.
Perhaps a little background on SEMA is in order. The organization began in 1963 as the Speed Equipment Manufacturers Association as a lobbying arm and joint resource group for the growing number of small manufacturers and suppliers of performance equipment in the early days of hot rodding. Companies like Edelbrock, Weiand, Crane, and others have been with it since then, and the first show in Anaheim, California, in the late '60s would have been considered modest (about 100 booths at the first show). Now a staple of the year, the Vegas version has grown not only in size, but also in scope and international reach.
Today, even with everyone on our staff on hand at some time during the event, we can't see it all, but we're going to give you an exclusive glimpse of some of the Mopar-oriented happenings in the city of high rollers.

After two Father's day breakfasts - sibling rivalry has its benefits - I headed out to the club for a little gaming. Marc brought out his gobbos and I re-glued my dinos. We got in 3 games with me winning 2-1 but only barely. Marc can still roll dice like a demon and in the first game I managed 4 1's in a row in combat before retiring the dice. In the final game I went for a very cluttered board to give my dinos as beasts good terrain and replaced my hero general with a cleric general. Marc switched out the blades he had used to this point and went with bow for the bad terrain.
The cleric was just the thing as its cone of protection messed up Marc's magicians. My beasts were shot to ribbons leaving me 8 points down but he had pushed his general into the bad going and got stomped for his foolishness leaving me with a win.
A great set of games if a little frustrating at times. HotT may get looked down on as just a fantasy set, but it remains one of my fast play favourites.

Statistics: Scientific method · Research methods · Experimental design · Undergraduate statistics courses · Statistical tests · Game theory · Decision theory
A mediator variable (or mediating variable) in statistics is a variable that describes how rather than when effects will occur by accounting for the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. A mediating relationship is one in which the path relating A to C is mediated by a third variable (B).
For example, a mediating variable explains the actual relationship between the following variables. Most people will agree that older drivers (up to a certain point), are better drivers. Thus:
- aging $ \to $ better driving
But what is missing from this relationship is a mediating variable that is actually causing the improvement in driving: wisdom. The mediated relationship would look like the following:
- aging $ \to $ increased wisdom $ \to $ better driving
(And yes, it could also be argued that instead of increased wisdom it is increased responsibility for one's actions, but separating those two is difficult to do.)
Mediating variables are often contrasted with moderating variables, which pinpoint the conditions under which an independent variable exerts its effects on a dependent variable. A moderating relationship can be thought of as an interaction. It occurs when the relationship between variables A and B depends on the level of C.
In fact, the best explanation of the above relationship is a combination of mediating and moderating variables. Increased age does often lead to increased wisdom, but it also requires the maintenance of good reflexes. Thus, there is an interaction between age and reflexes that serves as a moderating variable. Increasing age only improves driving until reflexes begin to suffer, at which point the moderator variable (age x reflexes) results in worse driving. Or:
- aging $ \to $ increased wisdom $ \to $ better driving $ \to $ worse driving
- (until) aging $ \to $ decline in reflexes $ \nearrow $
In psychology factors are commonly seen as independent variables and outcomes as the dependent variables, and the effect of one upon the other is often mediated by processes.

In 1942 a new comic book hit the stands, it was titled Crime Does Not Pay. It was created by two comic book legends Charles Biro and Bob Wood. Crime Does Not Pay was the first 'true crime comic book published. Sales slowly rose until at the end of World War II 800,000 copies of each issue were being published. At the same time sales of superhero comics were on the decline, and the time of the costumed avenger fighting the Nazi hordes drew to a close.
With sales of Crime Does Not Pay increasing other publishers sought to gain a piece of the market and soon they were launching their own titles. This competition led to an increase in violence and gore, as they each tried to grab the public's attention.
Eventually, these titles became the target of parents, moral crusaders and other groups and were blamed, in part, for the the rise of juvenile delinquency and illiteracy. Following the publication of Dr. Fredric Wertham's Seduction of the Innocent and investigations by the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency, the industry adopted a strict code administered by the Comics Code Authority. This meant that the comic books were highly sanitized and many soon folded.

Efforts to bring Northern Ireland into the "mainstream of politics", as David Cameron envisaged, clearly have a long way to go.
But we should all be grateful for blogs. Blogs allow us greater access to insight like this, SDLP MLA Conall McDevitt's very reasonable complaint at how the Orange Orders mismanage their proud celebrations of tradition/blatant sectarian provocations.
A lack of portaloo provision is part of the problem. This is the sort of thing that could surely get sorted out in a reasonable way without raising tired old arguments about the Battle of the Boyne etc.

I personally thought it was a slow news day in South Bend but alas nobody in the media appeared to cover this story. So here is my coverage of this event.
A few years ago I received an e-mail from a person who had come across my blog. While I frequently receive such e-mails, none have ever had a connection with my mother's paternal grandmother's family - the Rubisz line. I have previously written about my great-grandmother, Mary Rubisz Kijak, and the very difficult life she had. My mother knew very little about this grandmother as she had passed away in 1918 long before my mother was born. My mother did know that her grandparents had a very rocky relationship and had separated around 1900 and that her grandmother had connected with another gentleman, moved to South Bend, Indiana and had 7 more children with him before she passed away in 1918.
That was why this e-mail I received a few years ago surprised and pleased me as the woman writing indicated she had seen my blog, noted the banner on the blog that contained the 4 photos of my great-grandmothers and recognized the name of Mary Rubisz Kijak. This writer, D, told me that she believed that my great-grandmother was HER husband's great-grandmother as well.
E-mails went back and forth between D and myself. She indicated that her mother-in-law was the daughter of Mary Rubisz Kijak's oldest child from her relationship with Frank Banner, Sr. While my mother knew that there were children from her grandmother's relationship with this Mr. Banner she only remembered them from her childhood. Living in the fruit belt of Southwest Michigan (St. Joseph) it was common for family members from other areas to visit St. Joe during the summer to take the fresh produce home. Evidently members of the Banner family would frequently do so, coming from nearby South Bend, Indiana (35 miles) and my mother remembered playing with these half cousins when they were children.
D and I exchanged information and I learned that D's mother-in-law Betty was very eager to see my mother again. My mother as well was eager and did remember Betty as a child though 80 years had gone by.
On August 22nd this year we had our reunion. My mother and I drove from St. Joe to Mishawaka, Indiana where I knew there was a big mall. We arranged to meet Betty and her daughter-in-law, D, at a restaurant at this mall and there we did.
We had a wonderful lunch in a very nice restaurant. D and I exchanged genealogical materials and both D and Betty had brought scads of photos with them. Out came my Flip Pal scanner (love this device) and I was able to scan all the photos right at the table. After lunch we went to Betty's house, right near Notre Dame, for some further visiting.
Eloris Kijak & cousin, Betty Linehan,
August 22, 2012
Mishawaka, Indiana
When there are sensitive issues involving ancestors it is often difficult to learn any of the details involved but Betty was very forthcoming with information that was welcomed by myself. It was information I would have never learned otherwise. Since then D and I have really been fortunate in being able to learn much more information on the Banner family with the help of Ancestry and other web sites.
We are now planning a return visit with D and Betty coming here to visit us in St. Joe and we are hoping they also bring another cousin that my mother has not seen in ages either.
Never say never - there are always avenues to follow that will open up new information on a family line.

Checkpoint 1
Standing outside Serrano's place with Marcelo and the sisters inside, Max decides to bust in but finds himself surrounded by rifles. His gun is taken away but he continues to fight with words. He tells Serrano to let the girls go and that no one has to die. Serrano aims at Giovanna and Max screams not to kill her. Serrano says "Okay" and instead puts a bullet into Fabiana's skull. Marcelo also takes a bullet to the leg. Right as things get a little crazy an explosion rocks the building to make it crazier. Serrano yells that it's the UFE as a helicopter is heard. The gang members grab the remaining hostages plus the money and run out.
Max is left in Serrano's house with a gun pointed at his head. He stands there looking at Fabiana and flashes back to a graveyard in North Bergen, New Jersey. Passos leaves Max standing in front of the grave of his wife and daughter. Max sulks over their deaths and how he wishes his life was taken with them. Some young guidos appear trying to identify Max. Knowing something is about to go down, Max takes cover behind the gravestone as shooting begins.
Checkpoint 2
Kill the trio and head down the hill. More will appear among the graves so wipe them out. Passos arrives and takes Max through the gate. Max is certain there are more just as screeching is heard. A van rumbles down the hill behind them as Max enters Bullet Time.
Checkpoint 3
Aim and headshot the driver who then crashes into the brick structure causing the entranceway to collapse. Max and Passos keep moving and find more trouble. A bunch of goons are all over a statue on a raised section with the center one wielding a grenade launcher. The pair takes cover.
Checkpoint 4
Be sure to get the grenade launcher first and clear the rest out. Go to the right and find a Golden Auto 9MM part on the ground. Move up the stairs and there's more in the next grave area. Passos leads the way out. Be sure to hit up the small shack on the left for pain killers. On the right near the back is a skinny tombstone to examine. The pair walks out a gate and sneaks up a hill looking over some more goons next to a van discussing a bounty. Passos decides to become a distraction by sneaking up to them and then running after killing one.
Checkpoint 5
With the group distracted, take them all out including the one behind the monument on the left. More are off to the right running in so kill them too. Check out the area near the van for a Golden 608 Bull part behind a monument. Head back towards the vehicles.
Checkpoint 6
You can hear goons talking over a radio inside the vehicles. One thinks he caught Max Payne. Max knows it's Passos. Continue towards the stone wall with doors down the road. An enemy pops out of the doors so be ready. He'll put his hands up and run back inside if you don't kill him. More are waiting beyond the doors in a small circular area around a fountain. Kill them and a couple more run in from the back-left. Kill them too and check the right wing of the covered area for a Golden Auto 9MM part. Go up the stairs past the fountain. There are more pain killers in a shack back-left.
Go through the gate and Max finds Passos with a gun to his head in a large circular area. The squeaky-voiced goon is a little confused about who is Max Payne but figures it out and tells Max not to move any closer or else Passos will be killed. More goons begin to enter the area.
Checkpoint 7
Save Passos by giving the goon a nice lead bullet to the mouth. Passos grabs the gun and we're back in the middle of the action. Enemies are off to the left and a couple to the right hiding behind various things including bushes so be careful. Reinforcements come from the back. Clear them all out and go to the center to find a Golden 608 Bull part. Nearby on the left is a tombstone to examine.
Make your way to the back-left with Passos. A groundskeeper enters a gate wondering what's going on. Passos tells him to get away but the keeper's head explodes from a sniper bullet.
Checkpoint 8
Max and Passos move up into cover. Passos yells that the sniper is on top of the mausoleum. He'll give you covering fire to distract the sniper. Move up to get him. A few goons come down the stairs in order to draw you out of hiding. Try to kill them while avoiding the deadly green laser. Move up towards the left with Passos covering you. More goons run down so repeat the previous. Keep moving left for a shot at the sniper. Look for his bright white head and fire.
Max and Passos go up the stairs to hide inside but find themselves surrounded and out-gunned. The goons take their weapons and walk them out the rear. They're put in front of De Marco who is still upset about Max killing his son. He whacks Passos with a shovel and storms off. Max is told to start digging.
Checkpoint 9
While he does, you're given the opportunity to hit the goon. You can stall if you want but why wait? Max will toss dirt at the one standing over Passos and then whack the other next to him. Passos gets up and shoots them both. Since Passos has a head injury Max leads the way.
Checkpoint 10
Walk forward and an enemy will greet you from the stairs. Kill him. Immediately to your right towards the fence is a tombstone to examine. Go down the stairs to the right where more are waiting in the next area. Some move into the garage on the left. Kill them. Check the garage for a Golden Auto 9MM part and pain killer on a table in the back corner. Head over to the morgue where an enemy pops up. Kill him and go down the stairs into the morgue. A few more enemies will be shooting through the window. Some of the things on the shelves are flammable when shot. Kill them all and check the office on the right for a pain killer. You can also watch the TV.
Head to the back and a lone enemy will walk out of a room. Another will come from the glass doors. Kill them. Towards the right next to a dead body is another pain killer. Head towards the doors and in the room on the left next to the skeleton is yet another pain killer. Go through the doors and walk right down the hallway. Max and Passos go upstairs into the church. Passos says he needs a phone to call for help but they hear more goons coming and take cover.
Checkpoint 11
Quite a few enemies run in from the doorways in the back so take them out like a game of whack-a-mole. Make sure to slide over and pick up the Golden 608 Bull part next to you as well as a pain killer on the pedestal. One enemy is in a small upstairs area which can be reach via stairs in the very back - you'll likely end up going up there. After he's dead more will rush the church floor so be ready and protect Passos. Kill them all.

todo is a program aimed specifically at programmers (but usable by anybody at the terminal) to aid in day−to−day development.
It maintains a list of items that have yet to be completed. This allows the programmer to track outstanding bugs or items that need to be completed with very little effort.
Items can be prioritised and can also be displayed in a hierarchy, so that one item may depend on another.
With the use of some small shell scripts (scripts.* in the doc directory of the source distribution), todo can also display the outstanding items in a directory as you change into it. So, for example, if you cd into the source directory for todo itself you should see a list of outstanding items...unless all of the bugs have been fixed ;).
Options can have both a long and a short form.
Short options can be combined into one argument by using a hyphen followed by a string of short options. Parameters of short options can also be appended to this string.
−v, −−verbose
Display verbosely
−a, −−add [<text>]
Add a note (will prompt for a note if one is not supplied).
−g, −−graft <index>
In conjunction with −−add or −−link, graft the new item to the specified item.
−l, −−link <database>
Link the specified todo file into the body of this one. If the linked database has a title set, this will be used as the body of the linking item otherwise the directory name of the linked database will be used. Use --remove (or tdr) to remove linked databases - this does not remove the database itself, only the link.
−R,−−reparent <index>[,<index>]
Change the parent of the first item index to the second item index. If no second index is given the item is reparented to the root of the tree.
−p, −−priority <priority>
In conjunction with −−add or −−edit, set the priority (default | veryhigh | high | medium | low | verylow)
−e, −−edit <index>
Edit the note that is indexed by the given number.
−−remove <indices>
Remove the note indexed by the given numbers, including any children.
−d, −−done <indices>
Mark the specified notes (and their children) as done.
−D, −−not−done <indices>
Mark the specified notes (and all children) as not done.
−−global−database <file>
Specify the database to use if either the -G or --global options are specified.
−G, −−global
Force todo to use the database specified with --global-database. If this is placed in your ~/.todorc it will force todo to use that database to the exclusion of all others.
−−database <file>
Change the database from whatever the default is (typically '.todo') to the file specified.
Generate a typical TODO output text file from a Todo DB.
−A, −−all
Shortcut for the filter '+done,+children' to show all notes.
−f, −−filter <filter>
Display only those notes that pass the filter. Please refer the section FILTERS for more information.
−−colour <colours>
Override default colours of todo items. Please refer to the section COLOUR for more information.
Force use of colour even when not outputting to a TTY. This is useful when piping to less(1) −R.
Remove all ANSI escape sequences from output - useful for colour impaired terminals.
Display this help.
Display version of ToDo.
−−title [<text>]
Set the title of this directory's todo notes.
−−date−format <format>
Format the display of time values. The format is that used by strftime(3). The default format is '%c'. This option is best specified in the ~/.todorc.
−−format <identifier>=<format>
Specify the formatting of output. Please refer to the section FORMATTING for more information.
−−use−format <builtin>=<identifier>
Use the format string identified by <identifier> (defined with −−format) as the format string to use when formatting with the builtin format <builtin>.
−−sort <expression>
Sort the database with the specified expression. Refer to the section SORTING for more detailed information.
Be paranoid about some settings, including permissions.
−−database−loaders <loader list>
Try the database formats in the given order. Valid formats are xml and binary. eg. todo --database-loaders binary,xml. The default format is XML.
−−backup [<n>]
Backup the database up to <n> times, just before it is written to. If <n> is not specified, one backup will be made. The filenames used to store the backups are the default database name with their revision appended like so: .todo.1, .todo.2, etc. To actually use one of these backups, you can either mv it to .todo or use --database .todo.<n> to explicitly specify its use.
−s, −−summary
Toggle "summary" mode, where long items are truncated to one line.
−c, −−comment
Edit or show comments respectively.
−−timeout [<time>]
If <time> is specified, the timeout between database displays is set to this number of seconds. If no <time> is specified, the behaviour is to display the database only if it has not been displayed for the number of seconds specified by --timeout with the <time> given. eg. todo --timeout 10 --timeout would only display the database at most once every 10 seconds. Putting a timeout 10 in your ~/.todorc is a good option, then the --timeout in the doc/scripts.* will mean that the database won't be displayed every time you cd into a directory.
−−purge [<days-old>]
Purge all completed items older than <days-old>. If <days-old> is omitted, all completed records are purged.
Priorities can be specified symbolically using the words default, veryhigh, high, medium, low and verylow.
The default priority has special meaning in that it will use the default priority for any action. This means that when editing an existing item, its priority is preserved; when creating a new item, the priority will be set to medium; when grafting a new item, its priority will be that of its parent. DevTodo will not prompt for priority if this is specified, making it a handy feature for your todorc. As with all options, the priority can be overridden on the command line.
Filters are comprised of a list of expressions used to define the notes that are displayed.
The general format of a filter expression is:
([-|=|+](all|children|done|<index>|<priority>)) | (/<search expression>)
Generally, if a filter expression is prefixed with a '-' it will not display items that match the expression, if prefixed with a '+' it will display items that match this expression in addition to others, or if prefixed with a '=' (or no prefix at all) it will display only those items that match the expression. Note that this will only search items not excluded by other filters, so to search the entire database you will have to do something like: todo −−filter all,/some-search-string.
The second form of filter expression is used for searching for text in a database. <search expression> is a regular expression which is matched against the text body of each item.
Filter atoms are filtered in order by done state, priority, then search. So first items that do not match the "done" filter will be excluded, then those that do not match the priority filter, and so on.
The expressions in detail:
Forces all items to be displayed. The various prefixes have no effect on this expression.
Collapse or expand child items. If the '-' prefix is present children are collapsed, otherwise children are displayed.
Filter on whether an item is completed or not.
Note indices are specified as numbers. Ranges can be given ala '1.2.10-20'.
Priorities are specified as described in the PRIORITIES section. A prefix of '-' will display all items with priorities less than or equal to the given priority. With a '+' prefix, all items with priorities greater than or equal to the given priority are shown. If '=' or no prefix is given, only items with the specified priority are displayed.
todo --filter done,-children,+low
This will display only those items that are done and have a priority of low or higher. In addition, children will be collapsed.
todo /[Tt]he
Display only those items with the word 'the' in them, where the first letter can be lower or upper case. It may be necessary to quote the search expression to ensure the shell does not interpret them.
The output of todo can be changed to be more to your liking by defining your own formatting strings. These strings are similar to those used in printf(3) and strftime(3).
The following examples, which can be placed in ~/.todorc, will mimic the default behaviour:
# Display in default format
format display=%i%[info]%f%2n.%[priority]%T
# Display in default format
format generated=%2i-%T%2i (added %d, priority %p)\n\n
There are four seperate format options: display, generated, verbose−display and verbose-generated. The latter two are used to format their respective text when --verbose is specified as an argument to todo.
In addition, users can create their own format strings by simply passing a different identifier to format. This can then be enabled by using −−use−format. eg.
format full-report=%i%[info]%f%2n.%[priority]%+1T%+1i%[info]Added: %[normal]%c %[info]Completed: %[normal]%d\n%+1i%[info]Duration: %[normal]%D %[info]Priority: %[normal]%p\n\n
# Override the display format to use "full-report".
use-format display=full-report
The various flags that are available are:
The > flag sets the number of spaces <n> to use for all future indenting.
Indent to depth of current item. <n> specifies the depth to indent to. If <n> is ommitted, the current level is used. Relative values can be used. eg. '%+1T' would indent to one level higher than the current indentation level.
Display the text of the item, wrapped at 80 characters and indented to the specified level. Semantics of <n> are as with %i. Note that wrapped text automatically adds a '0 at the end of the text, whereas %t will not.
Unwrapped, unformatted text of the item.
Summary text (ie. one line only, equivalent to --summary).
The priority level of the current item.
The current items creation date, formatted according to --date-format.
The date when the item was marked as done, formatted according to --date-format.
The duration of the item, formatted according to --date-format.
The index number of the current item. The optional numeric value <n> specifies the number of characters the number should occupy. The number is padded out with spaces so as to fill this number of characters.
The state flag of the current item. The displayed values for this flag are '+' means children, '-' means done', '*' means done with children.
The human readable state flag of the current item. The displayed values for this flag are 'children', 'done' means done', 'done, children' and 'open'.
Colours can be specified with this flag. The valid values for <colour> are: verylow, low, medium, high, veryhigh, title, info, and priority. These are fairly self explanatory, except priority changes to the current items priority colour. eg. %[priority]
Please note that when indenting, you will typically want to use a prefix value of '+1' with %T. ie. %+1T. This forces the text to indent to one level deeper than the current level, making it sit away from any other formatting you may have used.
The display of items in the database can be sorted on a variety of keys. Given a series of keys todo sorts on each successive key, continuing to the next only if the previous key comparison was equal. For example:
todo --sort -done,text
This will sort firstly by whether an item is completed and secondly by their text. This effectively groups items into two blocks − those that are complete and those that aren't.
The keys that are available are created, completed, text, priority, duration, none and done. Each key, except none can be prefixed with a - to reverse its default order and multiple keys must be seperated with a ,.
If multiple --sort parameters are encountered the last one is used. This means that a 'sort' entry in ~/.todorc will be overridden by any on the command line.
Indicies are used as options to a variety of command line arguments. Multiple note indices are seperated with commas (spaces are not allowed). Children are scoped using a '.'.
For example, given the following notes:
1. Do man pages
1. Make them more beautiful.
2. Make HTML documentation as well.
The second sub−item would be represented like this: 1.2
The wildcard '*' can be used to represent all children of a node. eg. 1.*
Ranges of notes can be specified by using '<a>-<b>'. For example, to mark notes 10.1.2, 10.1.3 and 10.3.4 as done, you could do: todo --done 10.1.2-4
Various items can be colourised. Items that can are veryhigh, high, medium, low, verylow, title and info. info is used for displaying item numbers and general information.
These items can be set to one of eight colours. Those colours are black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white and default. The colour default is used to specify the default foreground terminal colour.
Colours are specified like so:
If the optional + in this expression is used it will cause the item to become bold.
For example, a line in your ~/.todorc might look like:
colour medium=+white
Which would make medium text bold white.
todo can load options from a number of resource files. The order in which these are parsed is as follows:
1. The file specified in the environment variable TODORC or, if that does not exist, /etc/todorc.
2. ~/.todorc
Options are cumulative in that those loaded from $TODORC will be overridden or added to by those in ~/.todorc.
These options are specified as key/value pairs, one per line The key is the long name of a command line argument and the value is the parameter to that argument,if any. In addition, environment variables are expanded.
For example, the −−filter command line argument accepts a parameter that is a filter expression. A default filter could be added to the ~/.todorc file like so:
# Don't display child items by default
filter −children
The only difference between options specified in the rc file and those on the command line is that options in the rc file are not prefixed by −−.
In addition, there are two commands available in the RC file that are not available on the command line. They are:
The first command, on, is used to conditionally add specific commands. The format of this command is: on <event> <command> [<arguments>]. Valid events are add, remove, view, edit, generate, done, notdone, title, reparent, load, save, link, create and purge. Multiple commands can be passed to on by enclosing them in braces (whitespace is required between tokens). Full example below.
The second command is exec <shell command>. This command will execute the argument it is given in a shell. The environment variable $TODODB contains the filename of the current database. eg. exec chmod 600 $TODODB
There is an example rc file in the doc subdirectory of the source distribution.
To display any outstanding items in the current directory, simply type:
To remove notes 1, 2 and 4:
todo −−remove 1,2,4
To display ALL items:
todo all
To display only the top−level items and not their children:
todo −children
(even though −children is not a valid argument, this works because todo interprets any command line arguments it doesn't recognise as being part of a filter expression)
A more complex example. This adds a new item, with the text of the item specified on the command line, with a priority of high as a child of the third child of the second item (if that makes any sense):
todo −a "Fix the man page" −p high −g 2.3
This is an example of how to use the TODO feature of todo. It makes todo generate a new TODO file from the information stored in the database. This particular example outputs all items to the TODO file, even those marked as done.
todo −−filter all −−TODO
This example shows a nice use of the event triggers. When a new database is created it will force its permissions to 0600.
on create {
exec chmod 600 .todo
Items are stored as XML in this file.
Default options can be specified in this file. Please refer to the section TODORC for more information.
User-specific options are specified in this file. Please refer to the section TODORC for more information.

Leofric, Earl of Mercia married a woman named Godgifu ("God's Gift") whose name has come down to us in legend as Lady Godiva. She is most famously known for her legendary ride while naked through Coventry to protest her husband's high taxes on the populace. That this could have actually occurred is very doubtful. It is not noted by any contemporary chronicler and it would have been quite newsworthy certainly. The story is first recited about 200 years after her probable death.
Some sources say that Leofric and Godiva founded the monastery at Coventry, others that they expanded one which was already there.
It is alleged that Aelfgar who is known from the ASC entry below to be Leofric's son, was also Godgifu's son. Aelfgar was made Earl of East Anglia in 1051, he succeeded his father upon the later's death in 1057 (ASC pg 188), but didn't enjoy his Earldom long, as he is said-to-have died in 1059.
Aelfgar is supposed to have had a daughter Ealdgyth (Edith) who is said-to-have married Gruffydd ap Llewellyn who was Ruler of Gwynedd and Powys from 1039 and eventually by 1055 King of all Wales, united under him. That there was an alliance between Aelfgar and Gruffydd is shown by the ASC entries, which however do not specifically mention a marriage, or any relationship between Aelgfar and Gruffydd.
Edith and Gruffydd's daughter Nest is said-to-be that Nest who is known to be the wife of Osbert FitzRichard. She is said to have been born in 1058 and gave birth to at least two children. All of this needs to be confirmed or denied by primary research.

- "Lady Godiva", by firstname.lastname@example.com, at Encyclopaedia Romana online. Among other things they claim the Chronicle ascribed to Florence was actually writen by John of Worcester from 1124 to 1140 instead of Florence who died 1118. This attribution would allow relaxing her dates, since she could be as much as a generation younger than previously thought.
"Among his other good deeds in this life, he and his wife, the noble countess Godgiva, who was a devout worshipper of God, and one who loved the ever-virgin St. Mary, entirely constructed at their own cost the monastery there [Coventry], well endowed it with land, and enriched it with ornaments to such an extent, that no monastery could be then found in England possessing so much gold, silver, jewels, and precious stones."

fl c 1040-1080, Anglo-Saxon gentlewoman famous for her legendary ride while nude through Coventry, Warwickshire
Godiva was the wife of Leofric, earl of Mercia, with whom she founded and endowed a monastery at Coventry. The chronicler Florence of Worcester (d. 1118) mentions Leofric and Godiva with respect, but does not refer to the ride. There is no evidence connecting the rider with the historical Godiva.
The earliest extant source for the story is the 'Chronica' (under the year 1057) of Roger of Wendover (d. 1236). He recounts that her husband, in exasperation over her ceaseless imploring that he reduce Coventry's heavy taxes, declared that he would so if she rode naked through the croweded marketplace. She did so, her hair covering all of her body except her legs. Ranulf Higdon (d.1364) in his 'Polychronicon', says that as a result Leofric freed the town from all tolls save those on horses. An inquiry made in the reign of Edward I shows that at the time no tolls were paid in Coventry except on horses. A later chronicle assets that Godiva required the townsmen to remain indoors at the time fixed for her ride. Peeping Tom, a citizen who looked out his window, apparently became a part of the legend in the 17th century. In most accounts he was struck blind or dead.

John and Sara Francis
Andersen Fox have recently assisted us in acquiring our first property in Mijas.
We had been searching for over six months and when they took our brief they immediately understood the type of property we required. They searched their database, which included all other agencies in the area, removing the need to register with multiple agencies. They created a short list of suitable properties and personally accompanied us on the viewings. We were very struck by their professional and relaxed manner.
Once we had secured the property we wanted to purchase, they supported us through the process at each stage, which assisted in a smooth and trouble free transaction. Once the purchase was complete the service did not stop there. They provided a short list of local builders, assisted with lock smiths and alarm companies and even helped with the employment of a local gardener. The staff are very engaging and have come to be our friends in a very short space of time. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andersen Fox.

Fed Helps U.S. Dance on Ceiling
Investors aren't the only ones benefiting from the Federal Reserve's extraordinary policies. So, too, are politicians.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in a letter Wednesday that the U.S. government on Dec. 31 will hit the debt ceiling, or the cap on borrowing allowed without further congressional approval. The debt ceiling currently stands at $16.394 trillion.


text: This series of posts is just the latest of many reasons why I heart the I Heart Engineering team's I Heart Robotics (the internet blog). It consists of 3 posts, so far, each of which examines the use of a particular type of threaded fastener in fused-filament plastic parts like those produced by most desktop 3D printers. So far, they've hit common wood screws, special self-tapping plastic screws, and machine screws paired with these cool melt-in threaded inserts you can get (along with a special soldering iron tip for installing and removing them) from McMaster-Carr. The posts include downloadable data and specific recommendations for each type of fastener. If you build stuff with fused-filament parts, don't miss it, and keep an eye peeled for the next installment. [via adafruit]

Effects of Climate Change
Sea levels are rising and oceans are becoming warmer. Longer, more intense droughts threaten crops, wildlife and freshwater supplies. From polar bears in the Arctic to marine turtles off the coast of Africa, our planet's diversity of life is at risk from the changing climate.
Climate change poses a fundamental threat to the places, species and people's livelihoods WWF works to protect. To adequately address this crisis we must urgently reduce carbon pollution and prepare for the consequences of global warming, which we are already experiencing. WWF works to:
- advance policies to fight climate change
- engage with businesses to reduce carbon emissions
- help people and nature adapt to a changing climate
2020: A critical year for our future and for the climate
There is still a gap between what countries pledged to do in the Paris Agreement and what scientists say is needed to avert climate catastrophe. To address this, countries set five-year milestones to take stock of progress and strengthen commitments with the first of these opportunities coming in 2020.
Greenhouses gases, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat in the atmosphere and regulate our climate. These gases exist naturally, but humans add more carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuels for energy (coal, oil, and natural gas) and by clearing forests. Greenhouse gases act like a blanket. The thicker the blanket, the warmer our planet becomes. At the same time, the Earth's oceans are also absorbing some of this extra carbon dioxide, making them more acidic and less hospitable for sea life.
The increase in global temperature is significantly altering our planet's climate, resulting in more extreme and unpredictable weather. For instance, heat waves are becoming more frequent and many places are experiencing record droughts followed by intense rainfalls.
Forests help protect the planet by absorbing massive amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most abundant type of pollution that causes climate change. Unfortunately, forests are currently being destroyed or damaged at an alarming rate. Logging and clearing land for agriculture or livestock release huge amounts of carbon dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. It also diminishes those regions' ability to absorb carbon pollution.
Scientists estimate up to 13 percent of global carbon emissions come from deforestation – greater than emissions from every car, truck and plane on the planet combined.
Scientists Agree, Humans Cause Climate Change
Scientists in the United States and the world have reached an overwhelming consensus that climate change is real and caused primarily by human activity. Respected scientific organizations such as the National Academy of Science, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and World Meteorological Association (WMO) have all identified climate change as an urgent threat caused by humans that must be addressed.
"The need for urgent action to address climate change is now indisputable."
— National Academy of Science
Fossil Fuels
Burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas, to generate energy has the greatest impact on the atmosphere than any other single human activity. Globally, power generation is responsible for about 23 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions per year – in excess of 700 tonnes every second. Coal is especially damaging to our atmosphere, releasing 70% more carbon dioxide than natural gas for every unit of energy produced.
Humans and wild animals face new challenges for survival because of climate change. More frequent and intense drought, storms, heat waves, rising sea levels, melting glaciers and warming oceans can directly harm animals, destroy the places they live, and wreak havoc on people's livelihoods and communities.
U.S. Cities at Risk
As climate change worsens, dangerous weather events are becoming more frequent or severe. People in cities and towns around the United States are facing the consequences, from heat waves and wildfires to coastal storms and flooding.
What WWF Is Doing
To adequately address the climate crisis we must urgently reduce carbon pollution and prepare for the consequences of global warming, which the world is already experiencing. Combining global outreach with local expertise, WWF:
- helps people and nature adapt to a changing climate
- advances policies to fight climate change
- combats deforestation
- engages with businesses to reduce carbon emissions
- challenges U.S. cities to prepare for more extreme weather
Challenging Cities to Prepare
As climate change worsens, dangerous weather events are becoming more frequent or severe in the United States and around the globe. WWF is challenging cities to transition toward 100 percent renewable energy and address local climate threats by implementing practical measures that improve air quality, protect water supplies and reduce urban flooding. With your help, your community can take action too. Urge your mayor to take action on climate change by joining the Earth Hour City Challenge!
Adapting to Climate Change
To avoid the worst effects of climate change, we need to dramatically reduce global carbon emissions. But we must also prepare for the significant and unavoidable consequences of carbon emissions such as increasing temperatures, shifting precipitaton patterns, ocean acidification, sea level rise and the increasing intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. WWF works with local communities, governments and others around the world to help nature and people prepare for the many impacts of a changing climate. To do this we:
- Increase resilience of communities in Nepal by promoting new farming techniques, community weather monitoring and creating seed banks
- Restore beach vegetation to shade marine turtle nests in the Caribbean
- Secure access to fresh water for elephants in Thailand during periods of drought
- Identify areas where polar bears can live on solid Arctic sea ice for decades to come
Protecting Forests
Forests are home to many of the world's most endangered wildlife. They also protect the planet by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2), a major source of pollution that causes climate change. WWF fights climate change by saving forests. To do this we:
- Ensure that global climate change agreements reduce forest destruction and degradation and protect wildlife
- Work directly with countries, especially developing ones, to protect forests and benefit the livelihoods of local communities
- Use satellite images and aerial mapping technologies to track illegal logging
- Study the vulnerability of forests to climate change and explore ways to help them adapt
Influencing Policy
Government must play a central role to tackle the climate crisis. WWF is an advocate at all levels of government. In the United States, WWF works to advance policies that reduce carbon pollution, support clean energy technologies, prepare for the effects of climate change, and curb deforestation. At international negotiations, WWF encourages the United States to play a constructive role in developing global climate agreements that:
- Substantially reduce carbon pollution to avoid the worst consequences of climate change
- Provide financial support to developing countries so people and nature can successfully adapt
- Combat forest destruction and protect wildlife that live there
- Help transition developing countries to clean energy sources like wind and solar
Engaging Business
Businesses have a responsibility to reduce their contribution to climate change. WWF works in partnership with companies as part of WWF's Climate Savers Program to set and meet goals to reduce carbon emissions, advance projects to protect their resources from climate impacts, and ensure the sustainability of their core business.
Press Releases
Conserving Snow Leopards, Securing Water Resources, and Benefiting Communities
In October 2012, WWF began a four-year project to conserve snow leopard habitat, promote water security, and help communities prepare for climate change impacts in Central Asia. The USAID-funded, $7.3 million Conservation and Adaptation in Asia's High Mountain Landscapes and Communities project will conduct field activities in and build alliances among six of the snow leopard's 12 range countries: Bhutan, India, Nepal, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, and Pakistan. The project will run through September 30, 2016.
The 3% Solution
A report from WWF and CDP—The 3% Solution: Driving Profits Through Carbon Reductions—helps U.S. businesses chart a new path forward. This path is tremendously profitable, practical and helps curb climate change.

Jeff Meyer, of Windsor, California, has a thing for European cars, but he also likes his hot rods. Wanting to combine the two, he had Kevin Bradley at Kreations Auto Body (www.kreationsautobody.com) in Rio Dell, California, turn his '66 Citron ID19 into a
When you think of France, you think of romance, great food, fine wine, snotty waiters, and an inept military. Certainly, "car manufacturer" doesn't come to mind. But there is a segment of the population here in America, albeit very small, that is rabid about the French-built Citron. These quirky cars combine swoopy, obscure French styling with equally quirky hydraulic controls for nearly everything, including the suspension. You definitely don't see them every day, and it's often easier to fabricate parts for them than it is to find factory replacements. Seems like the perfect Dare To Be Different project, huh?
Jeff Meyer, of Windsor, California, has a thing for European cars, but he also likes his hot rods. Wanting to combine the two, he had Kevin Bradley at Kreations Auto Body (www.kreationsautobody.com) in Rio Dell, California, turn his '66 Citron ID19 into a Pro Touring car. The Citron was unique because it had all those hydraulic pumps and rams everywhere, but also because it was front-wheel drive with a Maserati four-cylinder for power. Swapping in an American V-8 was the plan, but that meant considerable fabrication. Kevin designed a frame to fit and then had Art Morrison build it based around his G-Max chassis. Opposite from most cars, this one has a narrower track width in the back than it does in the front. The suspension is Morrison's Mustang II-based independent in the front (with coilovers) and a triangulated four-link in the rear. To get the car nice and low, the body was channeled 4 inches over the frame.
Kreations got a warmed-over (410hp) LS1 from Turnkey Engine Supply (Oceanside, California) and stuck it in the car, setting it back far enough to fit under the sloping hood while leaving room for a laid-down radiator. With a 4L60E automatic bolted behind the LS1, the surrounding panels were built, giving the car a transmission tunnel where one had never existed.
The Citron's body structure was pretty flimsy, with a bolt-on fiberglass roof attached to a thin metal structure that also located the front and rear glass. To keep the stock parts but stiffen it all up, Kreations built a rollcage-like structure with 151/48-inch bars, then welded it into the A, B, and C pillars and molded everything together to make it nearly invisible inside the car. It also provided a mount for the three-point seatbelts. Kreations fabricated the steel dash and center console to Meyer's specs and stuck the stock steering wheel on the Flaming River column. "That was a three-day project making the monotube steering wheel work with a traditional column," Kevin said.
On the outside, much of the body is stock. Kreations smoothed the front lower panel and put a big hole in it to feed air to the radiator and engine. The stock bumpers were bolt-together, three-piece units, so Kreations welded them together and removed the bumperettes then had Advanced Plating in Nashville rechrome them. The rear license-plate panel required some work, and while there, Kreations added a second set of taillights to complement the C-pillar-mounted stock lights, which still work. The color is Teal Tease from DuPont's Hot Hues line, the roof is a tri-stage white with pearl thrown in, and suede paint sets off the interior and underhood panels. The final touch is Billet Specialties Stiletto wheels, 18x9s in the rear and 18x8s in the front, with 245/45-18s on all four corners.

Ex-Disney Star Jake T. Austin + His Car Possibly Involved in Hit-and-Run
Former Disney star Jake T. Austin, who played Max Russo on Selena Gomez's 'Wizards of Waverly Place,' was possibly involved in a hit-and-run this morning in Sherman Oaks, Calif.
The one thing we do know for sure, at press time, is that a car registered to the teen actor, born Jake Szymanski, was the culprit. So where there's smoke...
It was no ordinary accident, either. There were four (!!!) cars involved, and the offending vehicle, a 2010 Audi, had N.Y. plates.
According to TMZ, the Audi smashed into not one, not two, but three parked cars at 3AM this morning (Nov. 19). One of the occupants of the vehicle reportedly tossed a bottle of Ciroc -- that's liquor, and more specifically, it's vodka endorsed by Diddy -- out the window at a nearby property.
A witness said the driver and passengers called a car service to retrieve them before cops arrived. Sneaky! The cars, which were parked on the street, were majorly damaged by the Audi.
What's not known is if it was Austin who was behind the wheel and operating the Audi at the time of the accident. If he was, he's in a world of trouble. If he wasn't, well, he'll still be in trouble since the car is his responsibility.
However, a witness said that one of the perps was a young, white male with dark hair who acted drunk. If it was indeed Austin, and it sounds like it may very well have been, well, he's only 18. Again, more trouble.
The accident is being treated as a hit-and-run and is under investigation.

With WWDC just a weekend away, Apple fans are beside themselves with excitement about what's to come this summer. We understand, however, if you have been avoiding the Mac Web this week for fear of rumor overload—that's why you can catch up with our handy weekly roundup to learn everything you need to know.
Ars@WWDC: live WWDC keynote coverage: The Ars team once again makes the trip out to San Francisco to liveblog Apple's WWDC keynote. Look inside for information on our real-time updates on the Web, IRC, and Twitter. In the meantime, though, check out the first banners that have been put up at Moscone West.
New LA-based Mac cloner hopes to magically alter status quo: Yet another company has decided to toss its hat into the Mac cloning ring. This latest venture hopes to avoid Psystar's fate by opening a retail store to supplement online sales. Can we get a WTF?
iPhone mania heats up: spy shots, location-aware Safari, more: The iPhone rumor mill is picking up steam with the WWDC keynote happening in just under a week. Blurry prototype snaps and leaks of a $99 model have come across our desk in the last few days.
Apple quietly improves screen on 13" unibody MacBook: The entry-level white MacBook isn't the only machine getting a tweak from Apple recently. It seems the 13" unibody MacBook has gotten a "significant" update to its LCD panel.
Google: sandboxing for Chrome on Mac OS X a piece of cake: Google engineers have found that implementing Chrome's signature sandboxed processes is easy under Mac OS X thanks to its built in sandbox facility. Compared to the built-from-scratch approach used in Windows, it was apparently child's play.
iTunes 8.2 and QuickTime 7.6.2 released to the masses: Apple has released updates to iTunes and QuickTime, bringing with them support for iPhone OS 3.0 as well as accessibility improvements, bug fixes, and security enhancements. Get 'em while they're hot.
NVIDIA GPU failure fallout continues, Apple extends warranty: Apple is trying to do MacBook Pro owners right by adding an extra year to the time you can get a MacBook Pro with faulty NVIDIA graphics repaired, according to a recent update to an Apple support page.
Busted: Japanese university using iPhones to track truancy: Social informatics students at one Japanese university will get free iPhones—but the university gets a way to make sure students were really in class when they said they were.
MacBook Pro firmware and iWork '09 get some update love: Apple has updated iWork '09 to play nicer with presentations and the firmware of 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pros to play nicer with their fans.
Apple altering its One to One support program for Mac buyers: The One to One program is shifting focus from potential switchers to new Mac buyers—in particular, those buying a new Mac directly from Apple. The new program does have added benefits, including Web-based resources and longer "project" sessions.
Have a great weekend everyone! The next time you hear from the Infinite Loop team here at Ars Technica, we'll be reporting from San Francisco.

Kelly Hildebrandt is in love with Kelly Hildebrandt, and soon they'll be married.
It's been a whirlwind romance for the guy and gal who share the same name, and it all started with an innocent Facebook message.
"She started off 'Hey, I saw we have the same name,and I thought it was kind of cool, Just wanted to say hi I guess. LOL,'" the male Kelly said.
Kelly the female, from Coral Springs, was curious to see profiles of people with the same name when she happened across Kelly the male in Lubbock, Texas.
"I searched my own name and he's the only one who came up and actually in the picture he didn't have a shirt on and I was like oh he's cute," said the female Kelly.
Three weeks later, male Kelly flew to South Florida to meet female Kelly, and they hit it off immediately.
And now in just three months, the Hildebrandts will officially be married.
"We get a couple of the same reactions, usually it's like 'whoa, that's so awesome and totally different,'" said female Kelly, 20.
Male Kelly, 24, has moved down to Florida and plans on working at the new branch for his company, Primerica Financial. Female Kelly is finishing up her studies at Palm Beach Community College.
The wedding will be at Lighthouse Point Yacht Club in October, a quick turnaround -- just eight months after the two first met -- though male Kelly has no reservations.
"I felt like there was a good possibility that before I ever came out to meet her in person, that this could be the girl I'm gonna marry," he said.
The marriage won't be without problems. In fact, one problem has already presented itself before the two have even stepped foot on the altar.
"He's even already got some mail coming in, and we have to open everything, because we don't know whose mail is whose," said female Kelly.

It only took 30 seconds of watching their video for me to decide I HAD to meet these guys.
These guys I refer to are the brothers who created the incredibly catchy song about my favorite NBA team and the most famous beard in the nation, "Beard Like Harden"!
For my first interview of the Summer Adventure I hopped in my Moms jeep the morning after OKC Thunder vs. LA Lakers Game 5 and headed to Woodward, Oklahoma.
In the 18 years I lived in Oklahoma I never made the three hour drive down country roads to the town of Woodward, so today I was in for a treat. A new adventure AND an interview with the artists that brought me my new favorite song!
Adventure it was. This is not like a "hop on one highway and be there in 3 hours" kinda drive, it's more like a "blink and you've missed the next road that you were supposed to turn on because they all have 15 signs and they all look the same" kinda drive!
Yes I realize it's ironic that I can maneuver around Los Angeles with the worst traffic in America but finding my way through the Oklahoma countryside was nearly impossible!
Although the roads were a little difficult to maneuver it was a beautiful drive that took me past the rows and rows of giant windmills (alternative energy, yeah we're hip in Oklahoma!)
It also took me past many of the animals that make up the majority of the population in Oklahoma… yes, cows… and no I did not tip any!
Three hours later I arrived to meet Chris and Daniel Castor to talk all about "the Beard", the sweet dance moves in the music video and how the "Beard Like Harden" sensation all came about! Check out the interview here:
The video for their new original hit song, Came to Play, is now on YouTube and the song is available for download on iTunes.
Looking forward to keeping in touch with these hometown celebrities to see what they come up with next!

Surf Fish Report 2/4/2017
Despite the chill in the air, rain and huge surf, fishing is still good in a few protected spots. Today, we have quite a bit of early morning wind and a midsized swell from the west. We are between storms now (expecting some wind and rain again Monday) but it looks like mid next week we might have an extended stretch of sunshine, small swells and offshore winds. That's sure to make surf fishing pick up.
Santa Barbara is just one of the beaches that's dealing with debree. Both in the water and on the beach the outfall from the last rains has made fishing a bit tough. The positive in both Santa Barbara and Ventura has been the great perch fishing for slabs. I received reports from East Beach in SB, Emma Woods in Ventura and at Hollywood Beach of some great perch fishing for anglers using, Gulp! Bloodworms and Lucky Craft and other 3"-5" hardbaits in the surf.
Malibu and Santa Monica still have good surfperch fishing from the Santa Monica pier to Topanga Canyon. Although I have not received any reports you can be sure that fishing is also good at Leo Carrillo. This is a great time of year to go there for walleye, barred and an occassional calico surfperch. The biggest news coming out of the Malibu area was the catch of several white seabass. Although the fish were just short of legal it is a good sign that the fish we saw earlier this year being caught in Ventura are possibly spreading down the coast. It won't be long before someone catches a legal in the surf.
S.W.A.T.S. Arthur Lai with a nice surf seabass from a couple of seasons ago
Orange County (and Southern LA county) take tops for fishing again this report. All the beaches have been covered with debris, but between the mess there has been some good fishing. The eye-popping catch of the week was a handful of big corbina inside the Long Beach Harbor. This time of year big corbina and spotfin swim inside the harbors to find food and shelter. Look for them in areas like Long Beach and LA Harbor, Los Alamitos Bay, Huntington Harbor, Newport Harbor, Dana Harbor, Mission Bay, etc...you get the point--just about any harbor or protected bay. To be most successful catching these fish be sure to use what they eat inside the bay. Ghost shrimp or whole bloodworms presented on the carolina rig (with a very light sinker) will produce the most bites.
CORBINA BAY 10 13 11.jpgSan Diego had no reports come my way with the exception of a halibut in the bay and good perch fishing around the Carlsbad power plant outfalls.
Notice I'm holding the corbina so you can't see what bay I'm in! Ha!
What to look for this week:
Per my tide calendar :-) This upcoming week has some very big tides starting today for the next two weeks. Full moon hits on the 10th. So, over the next week we will see our widest tide swings. Good times for both fishing and catching bait. I also like to walk the beach at one of these low tides to check out and mark structure so I may go back later and fish there.
Water temps have been around 55 in SB and 59 in SD. This cooling is great to see as it will help surfperch fill in all along the beaches. A fading storm system today will be replaced by another passing storm Monday. As the week progresses we will see a building high, light offshore winds and small westerly surf. All goods news that will help the beaches set up for some great fishing next weekend. One last suggestion: Next weekend we'll have some supermoon action (which signals fish to feed a night) so if I was going fishing late next week/weekend I would start later in the afternoon when fish are hungry again.
See you on the beach,
