Miami Commissioner Francis Suarez will pull out of the race for mayor on Tuesday, after a series of miscues by staffers set the fledgling campaign on its heels, sources said Monday.
Suarez has until Tuesday evening to inform the city clerk's office of his intent to resign his commission seat to run for mayor in order to qualify for the Nov. 5 mayoral race.
Suarez didn't respond to calls or texts by late Monday afternoon. The city clerk's office said it had no indication of Suarez's plans.
Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado, Suarez's main opponent in November, said he bumped into Suarez at a Starbuck's coffee shop on Coral Way Monday morning and that they spoke briefly. The mayor said Suarez told him he was mulling over his choices and would make an announcement of some type Tuesday.
"He said he'd get back to me," said Regalado. "He said he was considering his options." Without Suarez in the race, Regalado is expected to coast to victory. The only rivals left are relative unknowns.
The Suarez campaign, though flush with cash, has been mired in missteps over the past few months.

If your family is looking for a fun, economically savvy weekend packed with uniquely quirky events that showcase the beauty of our area's history, look no further than the Sanborn-Lewiston Farm Museum Festival.
Designed to showcase the Sanborn Farm Museum, this ninth annual festival, presented by the Sanborn Area Historical Society, flawlessly extends its purpose each year to unite families with the unconventionally traditional fare of activities, all while thoroughly exhibiting local farm history to visitors.
Kicking off Saturday, July 27, from 8 a.m. to dusk, and continuing on Sunday, July 28, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Farm Museum Festival, found at 2660 Saunders Settlement Road in Lewiston, is a free admission event and open to all.
Returning to this year's festival is last year's crowd-pleasing Native American Niagara River Dancers and the annual tractor parade, both taking place on Saturday and Sunday due to the overwhelming success of both attractions in years past, mentioned Bonnie Haskell, president of Sanborn Business and Professional Association.
"We obtained a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program so that we could have the Native American Niagara River Dancers, led by Randy Greene, come back for this year's festival," stated Haskell. "Because of the same grant, Rosemary Hill (a renowned beadwork artist originally from the Tuscarora Reservation) is also going to be featuring her work and hosting instructions for hands-on 'jitterbug' beadwork making."
The tractor parade has also become a traditional favorite at the Farm Museum Festival, and returns bigger than ever before. It promises to be "one of the best yet," according to Haskell. "Just like last year, it's grown so popular that we have to have it for two days."
The event itself will consist of approximately 75 tractors that will parade throughout the museum property to showcase farmer's prized possessions to visiting tractor aficionados.
"After the parade on Saturday, visitors of the festival are able to vote for which tractor they like the best. On Saturday, these tractors are awarded a prize. Sunday really is just for fun ... to watch the tractors parade from our property and make a U onto Saunders (Settlement Road) and then back," Haskell said.
Come out and watch these farmers take their tractors for a spin.
Also back this year is the Classic Car Cruise display, which is expected to be another favorite with visitors as it was the year before.
"Last year, a record number of cars signed up to participate, so we were really happy with the turnout. We had to expand the setup just for all of the cars to fit for display," Haskell said. However, this cruise is weather permitting, so depending on the forecast, these cars can be awed at by visitors throughout the festival weekend.
Other events throughout the festival will include the flea market - which is a come-and-go-as-you-please event for vendors, and a bake sale and a basket auction with winners announced at 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
In addition, produce vendors will sell local goods, showcasing the Sanborn area's farmers and its history. The museum itself will also be available for festival participants to tour.
The Farm Museum Festival strives to be a family-oriented event; thus, infamous pancake and French toast breakfasts will kick off each day at the festival, and kids will be able to dig away in the "world's largest sandbox" for some fun in the sun and in the sand.
On Sunday, there will be a make-your-own-sundae event at 1 p.m. for $2, plus a variety of music offered both days at the festival for everyone to enjoy.
From a toe-tapping blend of southern country rock to local Sanborn bands and an appearance from the "King of Rock" himself, everyone's musical taste will be satisfied as they experience the beauty of Sanborn and all that the Farm Museum Festival has to offer. 'Bout Time, a local classic rock cover group with ties to blues, southern and country rock and folk music, will take the stage on Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m. - the first musical group to appear at this year's festival.
Terry Buchwald, the "King" himself, will entertain with Elvis hits from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., rockin' and rollin' the crowd to benefit the community, as visitors of the festival are requested to bring non-perishable food for a food pantry in order to see Elvis in action.
Fireworks are back to the tune of Elvis under the stars at 9:30 p.m., as he will kick off the new explosive feature to the festival with a patriotic ballad, captivating the audience to crave more of Sanborn for Sunday's musical feats.
The Symmetrical Band will present their unique style to kick off the day, and the traditionally American patriotic fife and drum will bring festivalgoers back to this nation's historical past. The Sanborn Fire Co. Band will end the festival with their senior military-style concert and marching band.
Remember to bring your lawn chairs to comfortably enjoy the event and the weekend's activities.
To help make this event possible, volunteers are needed for set up. For information on how to become involved, or for more information about the festival, contact Haskell at 990-6909, or visit the Sanborn Farm Museum website at www.sanbornhistory.org.
The Farm Museum Festival is sponsored and made possible by the Arts Service Initiative of Western New York, New York State Council of the Arts, Sanborn Business and Professional Association, Grigg-Lewis Foundation, David Insurance, KW Electric, Franklin Traffic Service, Niagara River Region Chamber of Commerce, H.A. Treichler & Sons Greenhouses, Pynn & Sons Plumbing, Davis-Ulmer Sprinkler Co., the Town of Lewiston, Frank's Market Place, Rhoney Funeral Homes and Jay Wendt Construction.

Following yesterday's dire but needed warning in essay format from Algeria, author William Kilpatrick expounds, via Islam's Rise and the West's Denial: Catholic World Report.
One thing that the West doesn't grasp is that Islam is a political religion with political ambitions. Omar Ahmad, the co-founder of the Council on American Islamic Relations, has said that "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith but to be dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth." Numerous Islamic authorities have expressed similar sentiments. The supposedly moderate Imam Feisal Rauf, the initiator of the Ground Zero mosque project, wrote an article for the Huffington Post containing the observation, "What Muslims want is a judiciary (in the US) that ensures that the laws are not in conflict with the Qur`an and the Hadith." What he means is that US law must be brought in line with Islamic sharia law. Since very many provisions of sharia law are considered criminal under US law, that would mean the overthrow of much of our legal code.
Many Catholics also fail to realize the political nature of Islam and imagine that a mosque, like a church, is simply a place of worship. But a mosque is more than that. Political and community issues are dealt with in a mosque, and calls to jihad are frequently issued in mosques. For example, many of the "Arab Spring" demonstrations were set in motion from mosques following the Friday sermons. Moreover, there are many instances of mosques being used for mentoring terrorists or for storing arms and explosives. According to a popular Muslim poem:
The mosques are our barracks,
the domes our helmets
the minarets our bayonets
And the faithful our soldiers
Many Muslims think of Islam not only as a religion but also as an army—an army with a mission of subjugation. That's why the penalty for apostasy is death. Just as a deserter from an army in time of war may be punished with the death penalty, so also a deserter from the army of Islam.
The political nature of Islam ought to give pause to Catholics who think they can dialogue with Muslims in the same way they dialogue with Baptists or Jews. A recently concluded series of Catholic-Muslim dialogues sponsored by the USCCB highlights the problem. It turns out that the bishops' dialogue partners are all members of Muslim activist groups with links to the Muslim Brotherhood. One of the counterparts, Sayyid Syeed, is a prominent figure in the Islamic Society of North America—a group that was designated as an unindicted co-conspirator in a massive terrorist funding scheme. One wonders if the bishops fully understand who they are dealing with.
The recent revival of traditional, militant Islam is, in many respects, a reaction to that loss of faith. The new breed of Salafist and Muslim Brotherhood preachers are intent on recalling Muslims to the full practice of their faith—including the "forgotten obligation" of jihad.
The attacks on Christianity are not rooted in a flaw in multiculturalism, but rather in the nature of multiculturalism. The multicultural creed is based on the fiction that all cultures, religions, and traditions are roughly equal. But there is no equivalence between the achievements of Western Christian civilization and Islamic civilization. In order to equalize them it's necessary to pull down Christianity and the West while applying affirmative action whitewash to Islam. This, of course, leads to any number of bizarre double standards. For example, Mayor Tom Menino of Boston stated that the Chick-fil-A restaurant chain was not welcome in Boston because its president does not approve of gay marriage, while the same Mayor Menino has been very welcoming to Islamic groups that, in addition to wanting to abolish gay marriage, also want to abolish gays. Mayor Menino gave a speech at the ribbon-cutting ceremony of a very large mosque built by the Islamic Society of Boston. Not only that, he donated a $1.8 million parcel of municipal land to the project. One of the seven trustees of the Islamic Society of Boston is the world-renowned Imam Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who believes that gays should either be burned to death or thrown from a high place. So, in Boston, what's sauce for the goose is not necessarily sauce for the chicken fillet.
A more ominous development is that there now exists a tacit alliance between radical secularists and radical Islam. The most obvious example of this is the alliance between Islamic Iran and leftist Venezuela, but there are many other examples. Leftist professors regularly work with members of the Muslim Student Association (a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot) toward furthering Islamic goals. The campaign against the supposed hate crime of Islamophobia has been largely engineered by the left. And the leftist Justice Department has done its best to undercut the ability of law enforcement to investigate terrorist activities. Muslims, for their part, quickly learned to employ the methods pioneered by secular militants. Muslim activists groups portrayed themselves as civil rights groups and labeled any resistance to their agenda as hateful, bigoted, racist, and Islamophobic. At the same time, these Muslim groups can rely on the secular media to portray them in the best possible light.
The US is on the same river as Europe, but not as close to the falls. It appears, however, that it's trying hard to catch up. During the last three administrations, Muslim activists have worked hard to gain positions of influence in the government, and with great success. Muslim activist groups convinced the Department of Homeland Security to delete words like "jihad," "Islamist," and "terrorist" from their lexicon. In compliance with Muslim demands the Justice Department ordered the military to delete from its training manuals any suggestion that there is a connection between Islam and violence. And the State Department played a major role in enabling the Muslim Brotherhood to come to power in North Africa. Moreover, the State Department has been working with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation for more than a year toward the goal of establishing anti-blasphemy laws or something akin to them. If the effort succeeds, criticism of Islam will then be a crime—as it already in many European countries. Meanwhile, a steady flow of Saudi money helps to ensure that college students learn only an Islam-friendly version of history and current events.
At first glance it would appear that Islamization is unlikely here because the Muslim population is small and, unlike Europe, America is a churchgoing nation with a healthy birthrate. But there is still reason for alarm.
Islamization is not simply a numbers game. For an analogy, consider that homosexuals make up only 2 to 3 percent of the population, but have nevertheless exerted an outsize influence on public policy and school curriculums. Of course, they have been able to do this with the help of liberal elites in media, academia, the courts, and the entertainment industry. But remember that Islamic activists have the backing of the very same people.
Islamization won't happen tomorrow in America, but there is a distinct possibility that our children will grow up in an America dominated by Islam. It's not necessary to be a majority or anywhere near a majority in order to dominate. Throughout history Islamic warriors have managed to subdue populations much larger than their own. If America is eventually subjugated, however, it won't be the result of armed jihad, but of cultural jihad—the steady incremental advance of sharia law through agitation, propaganda, lawfare, political activism, and infiltration of key governmental and educational institutions. Many Muslim leaders have made it plain that they plan to subjugate America under Islam. We should take them seriously.
The first thing Christians need to do is inform themselves about Islam. Christians, like secularists, tend to view Islam through a multicultural lens and assume that Islam is like other religions. But it is not. Islam is not a religion of peace, but a religion of conquest that aims to subjugate non-Muslims. This isn't just a theory. Look at every nation where Muslims rule and you will find that non-Muslims are assigned an inferior status. In studying Islam, Christians will also find that the Jesus of the Koran is nothing at all like the Jesus of the Gospels. In fact, he seems to have been introduced into the Koran for the sole purpose of contradicting the Christian belief in Jesus as the son of God. The Church also has an obligation to more fully inform Catholics about Islam. The treatment of the subject in Nostra Aetate andthe Catechism of the Catholic Church are brief and inadequate. Catholics need to know a great deal more about Islam and have to move beyond the simplistic assumption that because God and Jesus and Mary are in the Koran, everything must be okay.
As I said earlier, Christians must realize that Islam is a political religion, and they need to be aware that religious overtures on the part of Muslims are often nothing other than political maneuvering. For example, Christians should avoid being pulled into Islam's anti-blasphemy/anti-defamation campaign, because the ultimate goal of this campaign is to criminalize criticism of Islam. And, by the way, simply to assert the divinity of Christ is a blasphemy of the highest order according to the Koran.
Likewise, Christians should be careful about aligning themselves with Islamic activist groups on religious freedom issues. When Muslim leaders talk about freedom of religion, they mean freedom to practice sharia—a legal, social, political, and theological system that is inimical both to Christianity and the First Amendment. Muslim spokesmen are quite willing to affirm their belief in religious freedom because according to Islamic tradition there is only one religion—Islam. Under Islamic law, all other religions are considered abrogated.

A highly active alpha particle emitter, Polonium-210 is a fatal toxin, even at very small doses.
Polonium-210 (210Po) made headlines in 2006 as the poison used to murder former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko. Litvinenko was a KGB agent who later became an FSB (Federal Security Service) agent when Russia replaced the collapsed KGB in the early 1990s. He was given orders to assassinate an influential Russian business tycoon (whom he knew well), orders he disobeyed and then publicly exposed, among other KGB and FSB activities, on the international stage. His disclosures embarrassed the Kremlin and then-director of the FSB, Vladamir Putin. The Kremlin charged Litvinenko with treason and imprisoned him for nine months. After his release in 2000, in the wake of numerous death threats, Litvinenko and his family fled to the United Kingdom where they were granted political asylum.1
Litvinenko continued to aggressively denounce the Kremlin and Vladamir Putin, whom he accused of drug trafficking and pedophilia, perhaps naively enjoying a false sense of security inside the UK. Then, on November 1, 2006, he was mysteriously poisoned. Litvinenko's rapid deterioration was chronicled by the international media, and he ultimately suffered for an excruciating 22 days before lapsing into a coma and dying on November 23. The toxin was identified just hours before his death as 210Po, an extremely rare substance. It is one million times more lethal than cyanide, and an amount the size of a grain of salt will kill a human being. Toxicology reports show that Litvinenko ingested more than ten times the lethal dose of the poison, indicating the resolve of his assassin to silence him once and for all.1
210Po—Radioactive and Rare
Polonium, atomic number 84, is a rare earth metal. It was discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie in 1898 while separating uranium from Bohemian pitchblende. The Curie's found that the unrefined pitchblende was more radioactive than the isolated uranium, meaning it contained another radioactive component. They named this new element polonium, after their native land of Poland. The metal has over 25 isotopes, more than any other known element, and all are radioactive.2
210Po has unique properties that make it suitable for commercial use. The radiation emitted from one gram of the isotope generates 140 watts of heat energy, making it a desirable alternative for powering spacecraft (this is still in the research and development stages). It is currently used commercially to neutralize static electricity in machinery and to remove dust from photograph film and camera lenses.3 Production occurs in a nuclear reactor and is extremely costly, time-consuming, dangerous, and very highly regulated. A mere 100 grams are manufactured annually, mainly in Russia.1
210Po is present in the environment as a byproduct of radioactive uranium and radon decay. Although considered rare, trace amounts are ubiquitous. We are exposed to minute quantities present in soil, air, water, food, and dust.3 It is important to note that polonium itself is not the toxin, but rather the alpha particles it emits during the decay process. Alpha particles are a colorless, odorless, and tasteless form of ionizing radiation. They are very weighty and heavily charged, and can only travel a short distance (a few centimeters in air) before losing momentum. Their energy is released upon impact and therefore incapable of penetrating barriers like paper, clothing, or skin. Thus, 210Po is not dangerous in the environment per se, but is toxic if actually taken into the body.Plain Black 3 Dearlovers Maxi Sleeve 4 Dress with Womens Casual Pockets Loose 4
Inhalation of the isotope may occur during occupational exposure or while smoking cigarettes, since atmospheric Black Casual Maxi Dress Sleeve 4 3 Pockets Loose Plain Womens with Dearlovers 210Po settles onto tobacco leaves.3 Deposition in the lung depends on particle size and solubility. The majority of particles are removed from the respiratory tract by mucociliary clearing and then subsequently swallowed. At that point, 210Po is reintroduced to the body as ingesta.Casual with Maxi Loose Dress Black 4 Womens Pockets Dearlovers Sleeve 3 Plain 5
Ingestion may also occur while eating in contaminated areas or through consumption of contaminated foodstuffs. For example, caribou meat, a dietary staple in northern Canada, has a high concentration of 210Po due to its presence in the lichens they eat.6 In general, only a small fraction of the isotope is absorbed following ingestion, with as much as 90% being quickly excreted from the body in the feces.3
Dermal or parenteral exposure to 210Po is unlikely. While dust or aerosolized particles may deposit on skin and clothing, alpha particles cannot penetrate these barriers since most of their energy is lost on impact. The particles can, however, enter through open wounds and absorb subcutaneously.7 Parenteral access does not typically occur accidentally or occupationally, but is a common route of entry in medical procedures and in clinical research.2
Once 210Po is taken in, the whole body is essentially targeted. The administered dose and individual tissue sensitivity determines the extent of damage throughout the body.2 Unlike most heavy metals, 210Po accumulates in soft tissue rather than bone.8 There is species variation with regard to distribution, but for the most part, the kidneys, liver, and spleen contain the highest concentrations. In blood, the majority of the isotope is found in the red blood cells, bound to hemoglobin. Its binding to the globin component rather than heme indicates an affinity for proteins. Very little is found in aggregates with plasma or erythrocyte lipids. Deposition seems to depend somewhat on route of entry, with a much higher concentration in the blood after oral administration and in the kidney and spleen after intravenous administration.8
210Po is primarily eliminated in feces and urine. Older data asserts that following oral administration, 90% of the ingested isotope is rapidly excreted in the feces.8 This conflicts with newer experimental findings which put the fecal excretion rate at 55–69% and renal elimination at 20–38%. The newer study also found that the biological half-life of polonium-210 varies from 15–50 days depending on the species.5 The isotope may be eliminated through the sweat glands as well, although clearance by this route is minimal.9
Following the Trail
210Po has a radiological half-life of 139 days. It disperses over time, contaminating the environment and leaving a trail behind, a unique property called "creeping."2 This quality, coupled with the availability of detection and quantification devices, allowed authorities to retrace Litvinenko's footsteps on November 1, 2006, in order to establish where he was poisoned.
He began the day with a bus ride into London, where he stopped at a shop for a paper and bottle of water. He then met Italian nuclear waste and security consultant Mario Scaramella for sushi. Tests indicated no 210Po on the bus, the ticket, or in the shop where he bought the paper and water. There were, however, traces of the poison found in the sushi restaurant, but not at the table where he and Scaramella ate.1
Litvinenko then met with Boris Berezovsky, the man he refused to assassinate years before. He warned Berezovsky of yet another assassination order, information provided by Scaramella. Samples taken from Berezovsky's office tested positive for trace amounts of Black Dress 4 Plain 3 Dearlovers Womens Loose with Maxi Pockets Casual Sleeve 210Po.1
Next, Litvinenko went to the Millennium Hotel where he met Andrei Lugovoi, a former KGB agent, and Dmitri Kovtun to discuss possible business ventures. Litvinenko drank tea during the meeting. Samples from the bar showed levels of 210Po that were "off the charts."1 Litvinenko's tea cup was contaminated, as were many of the hotel employees. For these reasons, investigators believe this is where he was poisoned.10
The evidence points to Lugovoi and Kovtun. Traces of 210Po were detected virtually everywhere they went: their planes to London; the hotels where they stayed; the sushi restaurant (Litvinenko met them there two weeks prior to meeting with Scaramella); Berezovsky's office (the two men had paid him a visit); and the London stadium seat where Lugovoi sat during a Russian football match. Furthermore, both men tested positive for 210Po exposure upon returning to Russia and were subsequently hospitalized. Despite this evidence, both Lugovoi and Kovtun vehemently deny the allegations and insist they were framed.1
210Po Symptoms and Diagnosis
The clinical manifestations of 210Po poisoning are those of radiation sickness. Dose-dependent effects follow those of acute radiation syndrome (ARS). In non-lethal doses (<1 sievert), the individual is typically asymptomatic or has very mild clinical manifestations. Approximately 1–10% of individuals experience intermittent nausea and vomiting, and there may be a slight decrease in white blood cells after two to four weeks. Highly toxic doses (4.5 sieverts) cause nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and lethargy within hours, with a latent period of days to weeks before the onset of more severe symptoms. Loss of bone marrow, white blood cells, and platelets results in infection, bleeding, and bruising. Hair loss occurs in two to three weeks. If left untreated, 50% of individuals will die. At 10 sieverts, 100% of individuals will die within two weeks. At >20 sieverts, clinical manifestations occur almost instantly. Symptoms include projectile vomiting, explosive bloody diarrhea, headache, fainting, confusion, agitation, and burning sensations. Cardiovascular symptoms and neurological deficits ensue, followed by shock, seizures, coma, and death in two to three days.4
Ultimately, the damage caused by 210Po alpha particles is due to total body irradiation. This results in extraction of electrons, disruption of cellular structure and activity, fragmentation of nuclei, chromosomal damage, as well as tumor induction. Some cells are more sensitive than others to these injuries, particularly bone marrow, lymphocytes, and enterocytes. Extremely high levels of ionizing radiation overwhelm the mechanisms of cell repair, and mass cell death occurs throughout the body, as seen in the case of Alexander Litvinenko.11
Diagnosis of 210Po poisoning is often delayed by the presence of non-specific gastrointestinal maladies that mimic food poisoning or the flu. Consequently, appropriate treatment is not always pursued at the onset of symptoms. Suspected exposures are confirmed through diagnostics. Fecal specimens are often used to determine exposure and, to a lesser extent, clearance rates. A more likely test for tracking the elimination rate of the isotope is a 24-hour urine assay. Quantification in urine cannot, however, predict the total systemic dose received or tissue concentrations. This is also true for fecal specimens.5 Analysis of blood is more useful for this purpose. A simple radiochemical and counting technique is used to measure the concentration of 210Po in the sample, which correlates to total body burden. The concentration of the decay product (lead) is also quantifiable and aids in determination of total body concentration.12
Chronic low-dose exposure to 210Po can likewise be determined from radiochemical analysis of urine. The results are then compared to previously established tolerance levels. This type of testing occurs when there is a risk of occupational exposure. Employees are tested monthly and the results used to direct modifications in usage or handling protocols.Dress Womens Black Plain with Casual 3 Loose Dearlovers 4 Maxi Sleeve Pockets 5
210Po is quantifiable in hair samples. It is secreted by the sweat glands and then retained in the hair follicle. Like blood, urine, and fecal specimen analysis, alpha particles are counted radiochemically in order to determine total body burden and clearance rates. It is a practical method for chronic low-dose monitoring rather than acute poisoning. However, as is the case with urine and fecal analysis, concentrations cannot predict activity in specific tissues.9
Plain Casual 4 Dearlovers Sleeve 3 Maxi Womens Pockets Black with Dress Loose 210Po is a highly active alpha particle emitter, but is only toxic if it enters the body. If entry does occur, the toxic effects are often fatal, even at very small doses. Much of the initial dose is quickly excreted in the feces and urine, but the remainder is preferentially distributed to the soft tissues of the body. The kidney, liver, and spleen receive the highest concentrations, while the skeletal system receives very little, atypical for a heavy metal. Exposure to 210Po is confirmed through diagnostics. Fecal and hair samples are good indicators of exposure. A 24-hour urine assay is effective for determining clearance rate, and blood analysis can predict total body burden. Clinical manifestations of 210Women's A in olive Slim Dress Adrlr004 Made Y Fit F Sandwich USA rgnrRxqPo poisoning are essentially identical to acute radiation syndrome (ARS), often mimicking food poisoning or the flu. Delays in diagnosis may occur for this reason. As soon as 210Po is identified as a possible toxin, medical management should follow as indicated for ARS. Measures should be taken immediately to prevent cross-contamination from the patient's self, clothing, and bodily fluids.
There is no known antidote for 210Po poisoning. While chelating agents may potentially increase clearance rates, they are not antidotes. Furthermore, chelation therapy is not always initiated quickly enough to prevent significant morbidity or death. Death occurs after total body irradiation, massive cell death, infection, and complete organ failure.
The murder of Alexander Litvinenko did little for diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and Russia, but it did bring a rare earth metal into the spotlight. Litvinenko's murder is still considered unsolved, though Scotland Yard believes Andrei Lugovoi carried out the assassination at the command of the FSB. Diplomatic relations between the UK and the Kremlin have suffered, suggesting the effects of Litvinenko's death could reverberate for years to come and influence the course of international affairs. Questions still remain that may never be answered, and it is unlikely that justice will ever be delivered.

The prize jewels of any nation
Are the philosophers of the heart.
How they think is universal
For its God who makes them so smart.
Most poets tell the truth of life
Though they may wrap it in beauty.
It's their passion, not their purpose
To compose is but their duty.
Poets have no reason to lie
When the truth is always so clear.
All that others say and do
Is but food for the poet's ear.
One merit of a poet's work
Which most cannot deny.
They say more and in fewer words
To illuminate you and I.
God sent His poets down to Earth
With words of wisdom and of worth.
That they might touch the souls of men
And bring them back to Him again.

The powers of darkness still thrive today
As much as anytime in the past.
Babies grow up to become kind or cruel
Judged by God's wisdom and love to the last.
The outcomes of God's heroes of the Bible
Relate to our victories, fear, heartbreak and mistake.
Passions of joy, love, guilt, failure and evil deeds
Teach us to conform, repent, pray and relate.
God loves all from conception till death
Regardless of what we may develop to be.
All are wicked, some worse than others
As we think, feel, connect, post, behave and see.
Evil seeks to destroy the good in man
And silence the memory of God's law.
It's up to the faithful to stay unyielding
Defending the liberty and justice of all.
Our men and woman who serve in harm's way
Are the armor of what the free world depends on.
Without their sacrifice of body and soul
All that we stand for is gone.

If it wasn't for faith we would never know peace
If it wasn't for trust our blessings would cease.
If it wasn't for God both night and day
Perceive the price our country would pay?
Washington, Lincoln and multitudes since then
Prayed on their knees for family and friend.
Answers from heaven always help us begin
To observe God's word, love and defend.
Why must we seek God's wisdom and will
Why must our deeds teach and fulfill?
There's a reason humans are able to cry
A river of tears before they die.
When passion rules from head to toe
The Lord foretells the right path to go.
Always remember who created it all
Always stay ready to heed His call.

I'm God's most published poet
Whose poems have meter and rhyme.
Stories of love, faith, hate, honor and duty,
Obedience, war, heroes, history and crime.
I've performed my gift on TV. and radio
Before millions I've never met.
Preached my praise of God and country
With 1,065 poems on the net.
Satan's soldiers, shepherds and bards
Spew forth their foulness and grief.
They attack the joy and goodness of man
Dishonoring life, family, country and belief.
Prospering through work, love and conviction
Enables us to remain whole and how we should be.
Fortifying our soul with fulfillment of faith
Let's our worst tribulations be shouldered by Thee.
Moses, Samson, David, Solomon and Jonah
All failed God in their own human way.
He chose to forgive them and bless their powers
So they might dwell in hearts of man today.
Without God's grace, wisdom and glorious domain

The world has its givers and those on the take
Nothing hurts worse than when loves a mistake.
Subsisting alone isn't living at all
All of us need someone who waits for our call.
Lovers like flowers pollinate, blossom and bloom
You can tell who loves who as they enter the room.
Our purpose of life is to protect, learn and forgive
The more we serve others the better we live.
Just as our babies from birth and evermore
We can't help but love them as they crawl the floor.
Someday they'll be grown and go their own way
Till then and after for them we must pray.
Down through the history of humans on Earth
The way we treat others foretells our worth.
The outcomes of life be they joyful or sad
Teach us to be thankful, grateful and glad.

Revision as of 20:39, 10 June 2011
This page describes how to set up Jim Breen's Japanese-English dictionary program, xjdic. While the procedure itself isn't difficult, it may be confusing for first-time users.
xjdic should be run on a terminal with JIS, Shift-JIS or EUC-JP encoding.
There are different ways to get one. I'll describe only three, using rxvt-unicode, kterm or xterm. If neither of them suits you, try to set one of those encodings in your favorite terminal, it may work too.
Note: due too it's design, xjdic will work on almost any terminal with any encoding, you'll just get garbage in place of japanese characters. Due to design of most terminals, you'll get something right after you set the correct encoding. That "something" may look good (if you're lucky), awful or be just empty spaces — the latter two meaning you lack some required fonts.
Terminal setup
Rxvt-unicode has shown the best perfomance for me so far. I recomend sticking with it unless you have something against rxvt-family terminals. Unlike kterm, it's all-purpose unicode terminal and you can use it for other things beside xjdic.
Encoding is controlled by LC_CTYPE environment variable. The command to start xjdic should look like this:
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.EUC-JP urxvt -T 'xjdic' -e xjdic_sa -j e
The value of LC_CTYPE must be a valid locale, see Configuring Locales.
To get nice-looking characters, you must list apropriate wide font in *font resource. Sample configuration using Markus Kuhn's usc-fonts:
urxvt*font: -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1,\ -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1,\ -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-ja-18-120-100-100-c-180-iso10646-1 urxvt*boldFont: urxvt*italicFont: urxvt*boldItalicFont:
I prefer having bold font for European alphabets; if you like medium instead, use something like this:
urxvt*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1,\ -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-ja-18-120-100-100-c-180-iso10646-1 urxvt*boldFont: -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1
Put these lines to your .Xresources (or .Xdefaults, depending on your setup). Alternatively, you can use apropriate command-line switches, see urxvt(1).
Kterm is rather limited terminal emulator designed specifically to handle Japanese. xjdic probably will be the only reason you'll keep it in your system. On the other hand, it's "home terminal" for xjdic, and usually there's no need to set up anything for kterm if you have apropriate fonts installed:
kterm -rv -e xjdic_sa
Default Arch installation contains necessary fonts (misc/jis* from xorg-fonts-misc). If you experience font-related problems, try using -fr and -fk options with some availables **-jisx0208.*-* font.
Xterm uses external program, luit, to handle different encodings. It should be as good as urxvt, but unfortunately luit is awfully buggy, especially when it comes to fancy Japanese encodings — segfaults with Shift-JIS are common and mouse paste sometimes works incorrectly in EUC-JP. Try it if xterm is your primary terminal, but be prepared to switch to something else.
Sample font configuration using ucs-fonts:
xterm*utf8: 1 xterm*font: -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 xterm*boldfont: -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 xterm*widefont: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-ja-18-120-100-100-c-180-iso10646-1 xterm*locale: true
Command to run xjdic:
xterm -en euc-jp xjdic_sa -j e
Misc notes
Read xjdic24.inf (located in /usr/share/doc/xjdic if you used PKGBUILD from AUR) before running xjdic — it's not the kind of program you can use without reading documentation.
You must install at least edict and kanjidic to get xjdic working.
And you'll probably need to make your own ~/.xjdicrc file. Start by copying system-wide configuration file, /usr/share/xjdic/xjdicrc or /usr/share/xjdic/.xjdicrc .

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - Eight first-half goals by Babson College propelled it to a 12-6 win over MIT in men's lacrosse action on Wednesday. Jonathan Stolmeier paced the Engineers (4-3, 2-2 Pilgrim) with four goals while Jason Wellemeyer tallied a game-high five points on four goals and an assist for the Beavers (2-7, 2-1 Pilgrim).
Babson wasted little time getting on the scoreboard as Mike O'Connell connected on a pass from Mike Maher within the first minute of play. Wellemeyer recorded the next two goals with O'Connell and Maher earning the assists. E.J. Peterson capped the first-period scoring when he converted a feed from Matt Harrington with 40 seconds left.
Tech's Tyler Sorba put his squad on the board with an unassisted extra-man goal at the 13:18 mark of the second quarter. The Beavers responded by notching the next three goals. Peterson registered back-to-back scores, the second with a man-advantage. Nick Fessenden ended the spurt with what proved to be the game-winning goal at 8:41. Less than a minute later, Stolmeier posted his first of four unassisted goals. The Wellemeyer-O'Connell connection returned with 43 seconds left in the half, giving Babson an 8-2 advantage at the intermission.
A pair of goals from Stolmeier during the first five minutes of the third quarter brought MIT within four (8-4). This was as close as it would get for the hosts as the Beavers went on another three-goal run. Fessenden posted an unassisted goal, followed by Harrington setting-up Wellemyer. O'Connell tallied the final goal of the frame at the 1:16 mark.
Brennan Sherry ended Tech's 17-minute scoring drought by capitalizing on a pass by Robert Baranowski. Stolmeier notched his final goal with 3:34 to go and Harrington closed the scoring a minute later. In net, Zach Brewer collected 12 saves for MIT while Max Owen made six stops for the Beavers.
The next game for MIT will be on Saturday, April 15 at 1:00 p.m. when it hosts Norwich University.

About me
Real name: Dan Mashal
IRC nick: dan408
Member of the following teams: Ambassadors, Freemedia, Packagers, QA
email: dan.mashal AT fedoraproject.org
Features: MATE Desktop
I started running Linux around the 2.0.26 days.
I am an all around jack of all trades seasoned sysadmin and long time fan of the Fedora project.
I am very well versed in almost every OS. (Linux (and it's various distros), FreeBSD, Windows (all versions), and OSX).
I am always on IRC. Feel free to send me a message and ask me a question and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
I am always looking for ways that I can contribute to the Fedora community.
You can usually find me in #Fedora-Ambassadors, #fedora, #fedora-devel, #fedora-qa, #fedora-meeting, #fedora-test-day, #fedora-bugzappers, #vbox and #bitchx.
I am also currently the Fedora package maintainer for the BitchX IRC client (yes it's still being developed!) and a member of the Fedora Bug Zappers group.
BitchX in the Fedora package database.
Some of the things I like to do (besides contributing to Fedora) are helping charities, giving back to the community, and helping out people that aren't as fortunate as I've been in life.
2 charities I support:
1) Be the Match Foundation
2) Sharks Foundation
I am also a registered blood and platelet donor with Stanford Blood Center and donate regularly.
This year (2012) for the first time ever I participated in Be The Match Foundation's "Be The One Run".
In less than 5 days I was able to raise $200 in the name of Leukemia.
Besides that I'm an avid hockey fan and love traveling, trying new foods, being social and playing video games.
Future Plans
1) Creating a larger local Fedora community as an ambassador.
2) Never ending QA work and bug zapping. :)

We are a nation divided when it comes to Fifty Shades of Grey. Some women love it; others want to use the paper from the books to wipe their asses. No, literally. U.K. women's shelter Wearside Women in Need recently found out that libraries were ordering more copies of 50SOG to keep up with demand, and it pissed them off. So the charity asked people to donate copies of the book so they can turn them into toilet paper.
No, not because they're burning through those cheap, pilly generic brand rolls at lightning speed, because they want to send a message.
The original plan was to pile the books together and make a big ol' bonfire, but after what I assume was intense deliberation, the committee decided TP was the way to go. Women in Need's Clare Phillipson told the BBC:
We discussed the book burning while getting the message across that this book is a dangerous trend. I think we've got a culture now which has completely sexualised women and in which women feel obligated to take part in that culture. We want to draw a line under that. We will be cutting them up, using them for toilet roll, and sticking them on our compost heap and they will go back into the ground ... although the ideas they represent will continue.
Seems like a lot of work, if you ask me. Clearly, Women in Need, being that they're a women's shelter, does amazing things many of us can't claim to do, but I've gotta say: Seems like a bit of a waste of time and resources. I mean, to go through all that -- the cutting up, the composting, etc. -- is a bit elaborate. And not sure it's really going to get a message across.
On the flip side, though, it is pretty funny. We always hear people claiming they're going to "wipe their ass" with something they dislike. Rarely do they actually do it.
What do you think about 50SOG being turned into toilet paper?

RA Dickey remains one of the few positives in a season that has turned negative. In a little less than a month the Mets have gone from two games behind Atlanta to 7 ½ games, plus eight back in the wild card race.
A 6-16 slide will do that to a team.
The Mets have already lost their first must-win game of this series and will give the ball to Dickey tonight and hopes he can keep their slim hopes alive.

Reporters say there's a chill in the air
President Barack Obama said recently that the Department of Justice's monitoring of reporters as part of national security leak investigations could "chill the investigative journalism that holds government accountable."
As far as many journalists are concerned, the president couldn't have been more right - despite last week's leaks to the media about secret NSA surveillance programs.
Story Continued Below
In conversations with POLITICO, national security reporters and watchdogs said they already have seen increased caution from government sources following revelations that the DOJ had subpoenaed Associated Press reporters' phone records and tracked the comings and goings of Fox News reporter James Rosen at the State Department.
( Also on POLITICO: Civil libertarians; Where to go from here)
"I had one former intel officer say, 'I hope you're buying 'burner' phones for your sources,' but I think he may have been pulling my leg," said David Ignatius, the Washington Post's national security columnist.
Reporters on the national security beat say it's not the fear of being prosecuted by the DOJ that worries them - it's the frightened silence of past trusted sources that could undermine the kind of investigative journalism that Obama was talking about.
Some formerly forthcoming sources have grown reluctant to return phone calls, even on unclassified matters, and, when they do talk, prefer in-person conversations that leave no phone logs, no emails, and no records of entering and leaving buildings, reporters and watchdogs said.
( WATCH: NSA reactions in under 60 seconds)
"The classic leak — of information or of government documents — is becoming more and more difficult and more and more rare because the points of contact between reporters and sources are subject to more and more scrutiny," Steven Aftergood, the director of the Federation of American Scientists' Project on Government Secrecy, told POLITICO.
"Sources will avoid reporters simply so they don't have to equivocate on a polygraph appearance," he added. "In the 90s, you could call up government officials out of the phone book. In the years after 9/11, that became absolutely impossible."
Some reporters and watchdogs argue that the climate didn't change suddenly but rather slowly over a period of years, the result of intensified leak crackdowns that began during the George W. Bush administration and then expanded under Obama.
( Also on POLITICO: Tech frets public outcry over privacy)
"There is a chilling effect, but it's as if you were gradually lowering the temperature of your freezer. There's been a creeping, incremental phenomenon here for several years," said Adam Zagorin, a Senior Fellow at The Project On Government Oversight. "The chill is cumulative, and the implication is that the government believes that the chilling effect — in order to be effective — needs to be periodically applied, to be imposed on multiple occasions."
But the slow chill that started under the Bush Administration picked up significantly under Obama, according to reporters. Since 2009, when Obama took office, the Justice Department has undertaken six leak-related investigations — more than all other administrations combined.
"The chilling effect really started with the Bradley Manning episode," one national security reporter told POLITICO, referring to the U.S. Army soldier who was arrested in 2010 and is currently standing trial for charges of leaking classified videos, army reports, and diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks.
( PHOTOS: Pols, pundits react to NSA report)
"Over the last two to three years, there has been a real fear stemming from the Obama administration's crackdown. Sources will go quiet for months, or stop talking altogether," the reporter added.

Genealogy Photobook
Then I just finished a 100-page photobook using my photos from my recent trip to Burma. I fixed up about 439 photos to squeeze in the maximum size book I could create at Shutterfly. It is a great relief to finish this, the last of three gift-certificate books that my daughter gave me two years ago for Christmas. The gift cards expire Dec 18th, 2009 so I was in a hurry to complete them all. The first one I finished just before Thanksgiving in 2008 and it was a photobook on my trip to Mongolia.
I intend to create, in the future, photobooks about the life stories of my parents and most recent ancestors. It's a big challenge, but I think it is a project from the heart and will last, even if my CDs and digital images pass into technological oblivion.

Thanks for the mention on you blog, Apple. And to Heather, I think that's a great idea to have one book on the maternal line. I experimented and found I could "share" my pedigree chart from Family Tree Maker 2010 using "export" as I remember, to a jpeg, (memory is weak here) but it worked really well and I put it into the photo book at the end, along with images of the various census pages my grandfather was in. So many possibilities. I used shutterfly.com because my daughter gave me gift certificates for three photobooks she got through Target. I do like it because it seems to have lots of flexibility when arranging the photos, but still limitations. I'd love to try other companies that allow lots of variations with photo templates plus text spaces included in various formats. The 20 page Shutterfly book is $26-$29 and sometimes you can get free shipping or other discounts. I have a couple "My Canvas" books in the works on Ancestry.com, but they are more chart intensive at the moment. But no reason why I can't add lots more photos and text. Thanks cousin Karen, and Annette for the comments. And a nice surprise to find a comment by the famous "Genealogy Gems" podcaster, Lisa Lousie Cooke ... I don't miss one of her great podcasts which I download from itunes (or you can hear them at her website... I think it's www.genealogygems.tv

Wow, great idea. Will have to try this w/tapes my Dad has made me answering my question lists (couldn't get him to write me, but the asking him to talk into a tape recorder--he's 1500 miles away & more chatty than a writer--worked).

Update about the random GIF Asset Message....
When Publishing... Error appears
"This file is locked. C:\Program F..ed GIF Asset"
Click OK then...
"This file is locked. C:\Program F..ore\TextXtra"
Click OK then....
"This application requires an Xtra (Animated GIF...) that either does not exist of failed to initialise properly. Please make sure the appropriate Xtras are in the Xtras folder(s)"
Click OK then
"Script Error. Continue?"
Click no.. and everything crashes.....
No idea what could be causing it all.
2. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?Sean_Wilson Dec 17, 2009 12:12 PM (in response to itchardUK)
Do you have admin privileges on the machine you're publishing from?
It looks like you have some strange permissions set on the authoring application folder, or a sub- or super- folder. I have never seen error messages about xtras being locked when compiling a projector. Make sure you have no files open or running in authoring, or Director-file tool xtras open and running.
3. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?itchardUK Dec 17, 2009 12:23 PM (in response to Sean_Wilson)
Hi Sean, Thanks for replying,
I have full admin privileges on my machine, and the setup hasnt changed in all the 10 years I have been using various versions of Director which is why I can't work out a logical solution for me having these problems.
I've never seen or heard (or can find anywhere else on the internet) of people having this problem with xtras being locked while publishing.
No files are open, or running that may cause a conflict while authoring...
Just as an example... after my second UPDATE post on here, about an hour later I made a changed an image within the file I was using to make an update to the program, Published it, and it worked fine... Yet if I do it again now.. It would be just as likely to have the random error messages appear again...
Very frustrating.
I wish the error messages gave me more info, but they all seem shortened and abbreviated when showing a path of the Xtra, so I can't even investigate the file in question
Thank you very much for your time... any other ideas of course would be appreciated
4. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?rc_mantis Jul 29, 2010 5:00 AM (in response to itchardUK)
I get exactly these random error messages. As a result my projectors do not work. I only have Director MX though.
This problem did not exist with XP but happened as soon as I installed Windows 7. I am set as Admin and have tried altering permissions for the xtra folder, with no luck
5. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?itchardUK Jul 29, 2010 5:11 AM (in response to rc_mantis)
I still havent fully sorted out Director...... I havent updated to 11.5 because I have a friend who has, and he still gets the messages.
I did manage to be able to work out a lengthy(ish) way to publish the projectors.
I had a conflict with an ICON i was using, I now dont use any icons at all......
Then, every time I go to publish, I have to MODIFY > XTRAS... and remove all the xtras in the folder. Once you save and compact, it adds back in the Xtras it needs for the movie. The projector will then let me publish fine.
Its a pain, but might be worth a try to get you through what you need to do.
6. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?rc_mantis Jul 29, 2010 6:01 AM (in response to itchardUK)
awww thankyou for getting back I will definately try that next time, at
the moment I've faffed with moving everything back to my old XP computer just to create the projector , not a permenant solution, I hope ...
7. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?itchardUK Jul 29, 2010 6:10 AM (in response to rc_mantis)
Oh man, that sounds like a pain.
Well fingers crossed it helps.
I have a horrible feeling that Adobe aren't that bothered about Director anymore.... seems to be dwindling ! Hence the lack of updates etc.. Big shame.
8. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?rc_mantis Aug 1, 2010 4:51 PM (in response to itchardUK)
Yes I think so too.
I like to not have to make Disk based products anymore, now the internet's so much easier to work with.
9. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?miche_r Feb 8, 2011 3:09 AM (in response to itchardUK)
I got same problems with Windows 7 & Director MX 2004. I changed the location of the project folder (including *.dir files), and it helped. Now the project folder is on my local C: drive, and no more problems about locked xtras.
10. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?Wolfgang Herold Feb 12, 2011 4:38 AM (in response to itchardUK)
you are admin on your pc, but since Win7 you have not the full rights as in XP.
set UAC to the lowest security.
right click the Director icon and under compatiblity set "always start as administrator".
Also the "program files" or "program files(x86)" do not give you full acces and permissions, as these folders now belong to the system.
So it is better to install director MX2004/Dir11/11.5 not to these folders. Just use e.g. C:\myprogs\Director\
Thats why Director ( Dir11.5 also) is not on Adobes compatibility list for Win7
For the projector after then, do the same trick with right click and compatibility mode setting.
As all in a projector included xtras are expanded to the temp folder, you'll have also problems with accessing this folder caused by permissions.
Best way is to include no xtra anymore. Just create a xtra folder in the folder where the projector sits and put in there all the xtras you need for
full funtion of the projector.
as i am native german speaking (Austria), my PC is set up in german.
So my description for settings or folder names can be a little different to that in english setups, as i translated it from my german settings.
i develop with MX2004 and Dir11.5 on Win7-64bit since 14 months with no problems
11. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?segaftw Nov 10, 2011 11:30 PM (in response to itchardUK)
possible solution
cheap and dirty
drop the Adobe Director folder in the public folder
C:\Users\Public\Adobe Director 11
publish 1 or 2 times
keep fingers crossed
12. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?Adam-C Nov 12, 2011 8:20 PM (in response to itchardUK)
Have you tried publishing your projector without any Xtras and then including the required Xtras in a "Xtras" folder alongside the projector? (I see Wolfgang also suggests this workaround). As well as possibly fixing the problem, this has the added advantage of making your projectors launch MUCH faster (cos the Xtras don't have to be unpacked from the program file before they can be used).
In response to rc_mantis' saying he's moving stuff to XP and back, perhaps it would be more convenient to run a Windows XP VM that you could launch in your Win7 environment but that would allow you to publish without restarting or moving your project to another machine - just chuck it across to the VM. In fact, if you used the VM as your developing environment you may avoid the problem altogether, but still have all your Win7 email etc. available too.
"Script Error. Continue?"
Click no.. and everything crashes.....
This is the standard error that you get when a projector encounters a scripting error, which is happening in this case because the required Xtras can't be accessed. If you want to see a full error message (as you would see in author mode) tick the "Display full script error text" option under the "Projector" tab in Publish Settings. (it will tell you which Xtra couldn't be loaded if nothing else).
Ultimately though I tend to agree with Wolfgang that this sounds like a permissions problem, and think his solution should work. However, I've got many disc-based products "out there" that encounter pretty much every type and flavour of computer and OS you can imagine. I've had plenty reports about problems with Mac OSX Lion, but nothing about incompatibilities with Win7. This would suggest to me that the problem only occurs when publishing the projector, and that a successfully published projector should run just fine on Win7 without you needing to make any other changes to the exe file after publishing.
13. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?Steve Hagenlock Jan 15, 2012 11:49 PM (in response to itchardUK)
Open your Windows Services control panel and look for the "Microsoft Antimalware Service". Disable it, stop it and reboot.
Then try publishing your projectors.
This was plaguing me in Windows 7 / Director MX 2004 and that was the fix. After turning it off, I never had that kind of error again until the service got turned back on again, somehow. Sad, but true. I figured this was a Director MX 2004 issue and that Director 11 would have addressed it.
14. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?pallottadesign Jan 18, 2012 9:49 AM (in response to itchardUK)
Running 11.5 on Windows 7 here...similar problems. Try publishing to a new, empty folder. Attempting to publish to a folder that already has a projector or the DIR file in it results in the "locked" etc. error messages.
15. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?CAnuszczyk Jan 18, 2012 10:16 AM (in response to pallottadesign)
To overcome this type of issue, this is what I have done for the last 2 years successfully:
Each movie's publish settings are set to go to c:\deploy\lastpublish\moviename.exe (I create projectors)
I create a folder called "c:\deploy\staging".
Into this I copy all of my original dir files and cast members.
I then open and publish each movie. (I actually use autoit scripts to automate the process)
This works and I have no more of the "locking" problems.
It also helps because the publishing process changes the movies so that the casts are pointing at the compressed, encrypted versions (cct, cxt) Since I'm publishing a copy I avoid this annoyance.

16. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?fuzzgrr Feb 29, 2012 3:35 PM (in response to itchardUK)
I just experienced this issue today for the first time. I solved it by bringing my entire project to a local hard drive (it's small so this was easy). Like others who have answered above, I've been using Director for years with no issues. We have two licenses of Director 11.5, and both are running WinXP. Both machines experienced the issue. The errors we got were many and various, and seemed different every time we tried to compile.
Today, we have had network file transfer issues reported by some other users. We always figure if you have two mysteries, they might be related. So, the mysterious network issues + mysterious compiling issues = bring it local. A little bit ironic since Director is complaining about local files bein locked. Go figure.
Not saying we've solved it, but at least we can get our project shipped today. Worth a try if you're still stuck...
17. Re: Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?rduane Oct 9, 2013 8:05 AM (in response to Steve Hagenlock)
Hey, thanks everybody, but most especially Steve Hagenlock. Just started trying to publish from Dir11.5 on Windows 8 and was having the same issues about the locked Xtras. Looked in the control panels, and although there was no "antimalware service" anymore, there was something called "Windows Defender". Turned that off, and lo and behold I could publish again!
I also took the advice about moving the Director app - and my apps - out of the Program FIles folder. Everything seems to be peachy now.
