text: Like its TV-sitcom counterpart of the 1960s, the original film version of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir was based on the novel by R.A. Dick. Gene Tierney plays turn-of-the-century widow Lucy Muir, who escapes her impossible in-laws by moving into an old house on the English seacoast. Despite the warnings of realtor Combe (Robert Coote) that the house might be haunted, the tenacious young widow calmly establishes residence with her young daughter Anna (Natalie Wood) and housekeeper Martha (Edna Best) in tow. Sure enough, the place is haunted by the spirit of its previous owner-a bombastic, profane, yet somehow attractive sea captain named Daniel Gregg (Rex Harrison). When Lucy steadfastly refuses to be frightened by Captain Gregg, he takes a liking to her, and the two become close friends (in standard ghost-movie tradition, only Lucy can hear or see the Captain). Realizing that Lucy is in dire financial straits, the Captain offers to dictate his colorful memoirs to her, which she promptly parlays into a best-seller and a lasting literary career. Slowly but surely, Gregg falls in love with Lucy.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

On the right-hand side of Anna Nagreen's door hangs a green sign with the handwritten acronym "BYOD."
On the right-hand side of Anna Nagreen's door hangs a green sign with the handwritten acronym "BYOD."
Nagreen, an eighth-grade science teacher at Flat Rock Middle School, puts the sign out to let her students know when they can "bring their own" devices, from smart phones and iPads to electronic notebooks, to her class.
Since the Henderson County school district went wireless this year, teachers and students are settling into using the newfound technology.
The effect on teachers has been overwhelming. It's opened doors that once were nonexistent, and offered teachers and students an idea of what the "school of tomorrow" might look like.
That school would include much lighter backpacks, as all of the books students carry now would be downloaded onto devices such as iPads. School staples such as chalkboards and dry erase boards could also become a thing of the past with new technologies.
For some teachers, the "school of tomorrow" is already here. Many are taking advantage of the wireless devices and incorporate them into their daily classroom routines.
For Anna Sherman, an eighth-grade math teacher at Flat Rock Middle, wireless technology has become the new normal in her classroom. Using an application on her iPad called Teacher Kit, Sherman has found a new, easy way to keep organized. The app helps her organize her seating chart, keep attendance and track student grades.
When viewing the seating chart on her iPad, she can see what her students' grades are and how often they've missed school.
"I can see really quickly where the problems are," she added.
As for what she's teaching, there's an app for that, too. The Common Core app is used to view what the core curriculum is and what standards Sherman needs to teach.
And then there's the networking app, Edmodo.
"It's kind of like Facebook, but for teachers," she said.
The online networking community includes teachers from across the country. Teachers in this community share classroom and education ideas.
"It's a place to go where I'm a part of different learning communities," Sherman said.
In the classroom, teachers are using Keynote, which is the Apple version of PowerPoint. Teachers can project an image onto a screen, and students who have iPads can do the same thing — the modern-day equivalent of going up to the chalkboard.
The "school of tomorrow" has the potential to be completely digital, void of heavy textbooks and chalk boards.
"That's definitely where we're headed," Sherman said. "In the future, kids could be issued iPads."
Right now, however, there's no revenue stream to fund the idea, Flat Rock Principal Scott Rhodes said. That could cause problems come 2014, when a new state law takes effect.
"All testing will have to be online," he said, adding that Flat Rock Middle has three computer labs. "We would need a minimum of 285 devices to test over a two-week period."
As for the immediate impact in the classroom, having students bring their own devices has benefitted teachers greatly. Nagreen has the "BYOD" period in her class sporadically, often every other week. Her students use their phones and tablets for things such as research projects and recording commercials.
"It makes that kind of stuff easier because I don't have to reserve the computer labs," she said.
And her students like the trust.
"It's better than not being able to have them," said eighth-grader Taylor Williams. "You feel like you have more freedom."
That freedom comes with restrictions, however. Flat Rock teachers have implemented the "Flat Rock Freeze." Teachers, at any time, will tell students to put their devices down and will then check what sites the students are using.
Other teachers like Bryan Clendenin allow students to use the devices every day.
"If they need it for help, they should be able to use it," the social studies teacher said. "It's faster."
Either way, the slow venture into the realm of wireless technology has shown Rhodes what the future holds.
"Now that we're wireless, learning has taken on a whole new meaning," he said. "That really accelerates learning in ways we couldn't imagine a couple of years ago."

Lazy pattern match
From HaskellWiki
What does "lazy pattern match" mean and what is the meaning of the tilde in pattern matches?
1 Syntax
These are all lazy pattern matches:
let (a,b) = p
f ~(a,b) = ...
case p of ~(a,b) -> ...
(\ ~(a,b) -> ... )
This seems to be quite arbitrary but this is how it is defined. That is, if you want to match constructors lazily in two levels then you have to write:
let (a, ~(b,c)) = p
f ~(a, ~(b,c)) = ...
case p of ~(a, ~(b,c)) -> ...
(\ ~(a, ~(b,c)) -> ... )
2 Meaning
What is the meaning of a lazy pattern match and why is it required sometimes?
The lazy pattern match on a pair as in
f ~(a,b) = g a b
can be translated to
f p = g (fst p) (snd p)
Generally, a lazy pattern match is translated to calling corresponding record field accessors. The key difference between strict pattern match
f (a,b) = g a b
and lazy pattern match
f ~(a,b) = g a b
import Prelude hiding (splitAt) splitAt :: Int -> [a] -> ([a], [a]) splitAt n xs = if n<=0 then ([], xs) else case xs of [] -> ([], []) y:ys -> case splitAt (n-1) ys of ~(prefix, suffix) -> (y : prefix, suffix)
Now try
Test> splitAt 1000000 $ repeat 'a'
3 Implications
The lazy pattern match has some consequences. First of all a lazy pattern matches immediately always. Remember,
f ~(x:xs) = x:xs
is translated to
f ys = head ys : tail ys
f :: [a] -> [a] f [] = [] f ~(x:xs) = x:xs
is fine but stupid, because the first match already requires the decision whether the list is empty or not. But the reversed order
f :: [a] -> [a] f ~(x:xs) = x:xs f [] = []

The plan had been for this release of the recent James Belushi-Jerry O'Connell law drama to be subtitled "The First Season," until CBS made it clear there wouldn't be a second season.
Though the ratings weren't what the network had hoped for, the two stars are quite enjoyable together as Las Vegas defense attorneys whose different approaches to their work doesn't make them any less effective for their clients. The characters were inspired by two actual lawyers in the gambling mecca. *** (Not rated: AS, P, V)

With All the advances being made in combines to keep up with today's higher-yielding hybrids, it leaves growers to wonder how grain tanks — the combine's holding bin for grain — are going to keep up.
"I can barely get to the end of a quarter-mile field anymore without having to unload into a grain wagon," says one grower attending the Farm Industry News seminar on new row-crop combine technology at the 2009 National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, KY.
One concept manufacturers are considering is to eliminate the combine grain tank altogether and unload directly into a truck or wagon pulled behind the combine. "I think we will hit a point where we can't go any larger," says Kevin Bien, Product Marketing Manager, Gleaner and Massey Ferguson combines. "Whether that maximum capacity is 500 bu. or 600 bu., we might get to the point where the on-board requirements become prohibitive for what the wheels on a combine can carry and we will have to develop a conveyance system that leads to a source that is outside of the combine."

On our SEO blog we began a tradition of presenting blog commenting carnivals, and we'll be carrying that tradition over here. I comment on a lot of blogs about writing, and often the comments are quite substantial. Why let those comments go to waste, when I can share them with our readers, too?
Over at Common Excuses For Not Starting A Blog, I tackled the five excuses, one by one…
2. There is no such thing as writer's block. When you have something to say, there is no block. When you have nothing to say, you should not be blogging.
3. You don't have to be creative; just write what comes to your mind during a normal "day at the office".
4. OK, it is true – blogging is too time consuming. But if it is worth doing for your business model, then it is no more time consuming than all the other time-consuming things you do.
5. All the good ideas have been taken…yeah but "so what?" All the best music has been written, and they keep writing more. All the best books have been written, but they keep writing more. Just write what you think and you will find elements of originality in your blog posts.
I expanded on point #2 above at How to Blog for your Business – 4 helpful tips!…
Generally some good advice, but I disagree on keeping to a schedule. I have never heard of someone removing a blog from their RSS reader for not having received a post in a while. I can see why someone would remove a blog that posts too often and they are inundated with posts in their RSS reader (making it hard to find posts from other blogs), but there is no reason to remove something for not bothering them. I believe a schedule is a very poor way to decide when to blog. A much better way is to blog when you have something to say. A single really good post is worth more than a hundred on time posts.
And on the fun side, I planted my tongue firmly in my cheek and added to Time Management For Freelance Writers…
Oh, not just for freelance writers. Anybody who works from home will be tempted to surf, tempted to keep marketing, tempted to just hang loose and avoid timing himself or handling the bookkeeping. My personal temptation is blog commenting…and…uh…oops, I guess I should be getting back to work.
I was not bored when Martha Griffin told us Why Most Blogs Bore Me. So I responded…
Nothing new is being said. That is the one that makes me cringe. When you spend as much time as I do in social media, reading, partially reading or just suffering through the same repetitive headlines over and over (Do I really want to read yet another blogger's review of the same plugg-in?), you start to wonder where is the imagination, where is the passion, are they people really enjoying blogging, or are they just trying to fill their page and keep to an arbitrary publishing schedule. Which brings us to the second one that makes me cringe, "The blogger didn't show up. " and "Lacks passion", which really are the same thing in my eyes.
Jane writes at BlogEngage about Why Should You Blog About What You Know . Apparently, I agree…
Yes, yes, yes. About what you know AND about what you are passionate about. You should never have to worry about writers block or not knowing what to write about. You should only be writing when there is something inside you, something just bursting to get out!
Martha Giffen writes that Keyword stuffing is not a blogging tool.
I am afraid that using common sense is highly under appreciated. Best to write your post for the readers and for yourself – just because you have something to say. Then add in your keywords a couple times where it makes sense …if it makes sense. Then choose a title for your post. If possible, include your keywords in your title – but if the title didn't attractive and doesn't draw readers and (ultimately) linkers, there is really no point to the keywords in the first place.

The effect of volcanic eruptions on climate has been one of the more hotly contested topics in the global warming debate. Seized upon briefly by climate skeptics as an alternative to human-caused warming, eruptions are now understood by mainstream science to result most often in net cooling for a period of up to several years.
Few researchers, however, have considered that an inverse relationship might also exist -- that over time, climate might have an effect on the planet's igneous activity.
Yet those are precisely the findings of new research from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel in Germany. Operating over a long enough time scale, sustained warmer temperatures lead to increased frequency of volcanic activity, the research finds.
Building off research by the Collaborative Research Center, which spent 10 years exploring volcanic regions, the GEOMAR team analyzed the layers of ash left in sea beds in Central America. From these, the team was able to reconstruct a history of eruptions dating back some 460,000 years, said volcanologist Steffen Kutterolf.
In analyzing that historical record, the researchers saw a distinct pattern emerge, he said. "There were periods when we found significantly more large eruptions than others," he said.
When they overlaid those patterns with climate data for the same period, it became clear that periods of enhanced volcanic activity corresponded with periods of sharp temperature rise and accelerated glacier melt.
To corroborate their theory, the team needed to look beyond Central America, and core samples collected by the International Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) provided an expedient way to do so. Those samples, taken from seafloor sediments and rocks, constitute one of the most complete geological records available to scientists. And in that record, the team's theory appeared to be reaffirmed.
"We found the same pattern from these cores as in Central America," said GEOMAR geophysicist Marion Jegen.
Pushing apart tectonic plates
But how to explain the correlation? Volcanoes are products of geologic forces operating in the Earth's lower strata; climate plays out most visibly in weather patterns and surface temperatures. How could these seemingly separate spheres interact?
Through collaborative work with researchers at Harvard University and extensive computer modeling, the GEOMAR team arrived at a possible explanation. A warming climate would eliminate a large portion of the ice massed at the northern and southern poles, they hypothesized, lessening the pressure on continents and allowing them to spread.
In the fissures between geologic plates, lava would then find its way to the surface.
"In times of global warming, the glaciers are melting on the continents relatively quickly," said Jegen. "At the same time, the sea level rises. The weight on the continents decreases, while the weight on the oceanic tectonic plates increases."
"Thus, the stress changes within the Earth to open more routes for ascending magma," he added.
Periods of planetary cooling take much longer than warming phases, meaning a more gradual adjustment period for the Earth's tectonic plates. Accordingly, volcanic activity during these periods tends to be more subdued, Jegen said.
While the researchers are unsure what effects the current phase of warming, accelerated by human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, might have on volcanic activity, it is unlikely that that activity will increase in any noticeable sense for at least a millennium, said Kutterolf.

From sadness to happiness
Speki is one of the cats rescued from a shelter near Backa Topola that burnt to the ground. Before I went there and took 18 kitties to my shelter (and one more a week later) three of Etela's cats had already been picked up and sent to some wild "shelter" near Belgrade. Speki was among them.
They have all been brought to me in June, after spending three months in that place. Although he doesn't look so skinny in pictures Speki was emaciated, bony and terrifyingly thin, full of worms and fleas, he even had mange and some fungal disease. While he was there, he had been castrated at the Center for stray animals but the wound got infected so he had to have a surgery again. When he arrived here, a week of medical treatment was necessary before any intervention. It was really heartbreaking watching him looking so miserable.
It took quite a long time for him to recover but he did, eventually. He still has blurred vision in his right eye (probably due to an old injury) and swollen lymph nodes as well. Thorough examination will be needed to discover the nature of his problems. During the past few months he gained a lot of weight and now seems to enjoy life at my shelter. After all he has been through, Speki became a happy kitty, nice looking, amicable and lovable.

Nashville, Tenn. - After a brief one game homestand, the Tennessee State men's basketball team hits the road once again for a contest against Alabama A&M on Dec. 1 in Huntsville, Ala.
The Tigers made the most of their first time in Nashville this season, defeating Fisk by the largest margin since the 1998-99 season, 93-52.
"It was really important, especially when you have been on the road for six games, for our players to re-gain some confidence, stay focused and play well in front of the home crowd," Head Coach Travis Williams said about the big home win.
It was a big night for TSU's post players, especially seniors Robert Covington and Kellen Thornton, as Covington had a season-high 29 points and 14 rebounds while Thornton chipped in with 22 points of his own. The duo combined to shoot 21-27 from the field and helped the Tigers edge the Bulldogs 45-28 on the glass.
"It is very important to establish an inside presence if your team is going to be successful," Williams said. "[Covington and Thornton] give us that dynamic."
TSU is deep in the front-court, but the squad also features one of the premier point guards in the Ohio Valley Conference in Patrick Miller.
Miller has done it all for the Tigers this season, tallying 10.7 points and 4.6 rebounds per contest. He also ranks first in the OVC in both assists and steals per game with 6.9 and 2.7, respectively.
TSU's opponent, Alabama A&M comes into the game with a 2-3 record, having just lost to Evansville on Monday night by 26 points.
The Bulldogs feature two players who average ten points or more in Demarquelle Tabb (10.8) and Brandon Ellis (10.0). Tabb also leads the squad with 8.8 rebounds per contest.
Alabama A&M holds a 37 shooting percentage this season, while allowing opponents to drain 47 percent of their shots. The Bulldogs do, however, play a physical and fast-paced style that has allowed them to force 86 turnovers on the year.
"Alabama A&M plays hard and pushes the ball in transition," Williams said. "We expect their guards and forwards to use their athleticism and play aggressive.
"The main thing for us is focusing on what we need to do while making good decisions and taking good shots."
The Tigers square off against the Bulldogs on Saturday night at 7 p.m. and fans can follow the action here.

Mobility is the operative word for 2011, and Wi-Fi is in the thick of the action. Worldwide there are now more than 700 million people using 1 billion Wi-Fi-enabled devices, says Edgar Figueroa, CEO of the Wi-Fi Alliance, and that user base is set to double by 2012. With 802.11n, wireless LANs can deliver throughput commensurate with copper networks, and new enhancements increase reliability.
So are businesses taking some of their 2011 budget increases and building robust back-end wireless networks to effectively support all of this gear? Our InformationWeek Analytics 2011 Wireless LAN Survey of 339 business technology professionals shows that 24% are either still evaluating or passing on 802.11 altogether, while 39% are using WLAN technology on a large scale and growing it, up from 35% last year. The remaining 37% are deploying WLANs for very specific uses only.
Our advice: Don't be caught napping when employees realize you're not helping them get maximum value from those Wi-Fi-enabled devices in their pockets. Yes, they can get access via carrier cellular networks. But as we'll discuss in more depth, despite evolving carrier upgrades from circuit-switched technologies to data-switched methods like HSPA+ and LTE, bandwidth demand will continue to outstrip supply. Carriers themselves are exploring ways to improve the user experience by off-loading some data traffic to higher-bandwidth Wi-Fi networks.
Our take is that four factors will soon make tethered user networking as we know it passé for all but the most security-conscious enterprises.
>> Demand: In our March InformationWeek Analytics 2010 Mobile Device Management and Security Survey, we asked whether portable, mobile, or fixed-location devices would grow as a percentage of all end user gear over the coming two years. Just 8% said they expect to see more desktops. The top answer (87% of respondents) was that mobile devices, including smartphones, will become more prevalent; 68% cited portable devices (laptops, netbooks, tablets). The reasons for this shift are many, but business leaders continue to see mobility and collaboration as good for the bottom line.
Though hard-dollar benefits are subjective, intuitively they're difficult to deny. Like it or not, employees will relentlessly push IT to support more, and more varied, wireless gadgets in the workplace. The increased demand will stretch your 11a/b/g network to the limit.

BATON ROUGE — After two tight losses to open his ledger as South Carolina's coach, Frank Martin needed overtime to secure his first Southeastern Conference win.
BATON ROUGE — After two tight losses to open his ledger as South Carolina's coach, Frank Martin needed overtime to secure his first Southeastern Conference win.
"Three times now we had it late," said Martin. "But nobody hung their heads."
Michael Carrera's 23 points led four South Carolina players in double figures as the Gamecocks defeated LSU 80-73 in overtime Wednesday.
A 6-foot-5 freshman from Venezuela making just his second road SEC appearance, Carrera dealt well with a physical Tigers front court and a hostile student section that aimed their barbs at him.
"I love pressure," said Carrera. "I am young, but I've dealt with pressure all my life. Road win, so I guess pressure is very good."
Carrera scored 21 points after halftime, including 10 in overtime, when the Gamecocks (11-5, 1-2) outscored the Tigers 13-4. It was an industrious performance, with 9-of-10 free throw shooting and an active inside game, despite an awkward gait that Martin said comes from a "busted-up hip."
"I don't think they were running any plays for him," said LSU guard Charles Carmouche, who hit three 3-point shots on his way to 13 points. "He was just playing hard. He was getting rebounds and going back up."
Brenton Williams added 16 points for South Carolina, while RJ Slawson and Lakeem Jackson each scored 11. Jackson added 11 rebounds to pace all players.
The Tigers (9-5, 0-3) led 69-65 with 2:41 to go before giving up a layup by Carrera and two free throws by Williams. LSU guard Anthony Hickey made a steal but failed to create a shot with the shot clock turned off before Johnny O'Bryant III missed a game-winning jumper attempt for the Tigers.
LSU shot the 3-pointer effectively to open the second half, connecting on five of its first seven 3-point tries, including four by Hickey, who finished with 18 points.
Hickey also grabbed seven rebounds, had three assists and two steals, but his five turnovers in 35 minutes were a symptom of a problem for the Tigers, who committed 22 turnovers that South Carolina turned into 27 points.
"We have to get better against the zone," Carmouche said. "We haven't been good against every team that's shown the zone."
In addition to forcing turnovers, the Gamecocks were able to maintain pressure on the Tigers by getting into the bonus early in the second half. South Carolina attempted 37 free throws, connecting on 28. Williams and Carrera each made 9 of 10 from the stripe.
While Martin got his milestone first conference win, LSU first-year boss Johnny Jones is still looking for his.
"We just didn't come down and finish after we had a four-point lead and get big rebounds to finish off the game there," Jones said.
Neither team shot well in the early going, when LSU took a 9-4 lead. South Carolina, capitalizing on 11 LSU turnovers, built a 34-23 advantage, but the Tigers closed the first half with a 10-1 run to cut their deficit to 35-33.
Unlike Saturday's home loss to Florida, when they were outrebounded 45-34, the Tigers beat South Carolina 40-36 on the boards.
Former Thibodaux High standout Shavon Coleman scored six points for LSU.

Axelrod sputters against Tigers' potent lineup
DETROIT -- Dylan Axelrod feels fine.
He stressed that point following the White Sox 8-5 loss to the Tigers before 39,085 at Comerica Park on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, the numbers aren't supporting Axelrod's feeling.View Full Game Coverage
DETROIT -- Dylan Axelrod feels fine.
He stressed that point following the White Sox 8-5 loss to the Tigers before 39,085 at Comerica Park on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, the numbers aren't supporting Axelrod's feeling.View Full Game Coverage
After allowing seven runs on 11 hits over 5 2/3 innings, marking the seventh straight start in which he has failed to go more than six frames, Axelrod (3-6) has given up 29 earned runs on 53 hits over his last 28 innings. He has yielded 11 home runs during that stretch, resulting in two losses and five no-decisions.
Yes, the All-Star break seems to be coming at the right time for Axelrod, who completed his first full half as a starter with 98 innings on the resume.
"It's kind of frustrating when I look back and it just isn't going my way," said Axelrod, who threw 111 pitches. "There's a few things I have put my finger on but at the same time, it's frustrating because I feel like I haven't changed much from where I was. I've just got to keep pressing on and it'll turn around."
"Axe wasn't as sharp as we've seen him," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura. "It's a tough lineup to go through if you're not going to be sharp. They pick you apart, squeeze you, make you throw it over the plate."
The hard-hitting middle of the Tigers order did in Axelrod and reliever Ramon Troncoso. Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder combined to finish 6-for-9 with three runs scored and four RBIs, including Fielder's two-run homer in the first for his 16th of the season.
Detroit actually built its lead up to 5-1 after three innings on Alex Avila's two-out, bases-loaded single, but the White Sox productive hitting over the final two innings of Tuesday's victory carried into Wednesday. They scored two in the fourth on consecutive singles from Jeff Keppinger, Conor Gillaspie and Dayan Viciedo, with Gordon Beckham settling for a sacrifice fly when Torii Hunter made a spectacular diving catch of his line drive to right-center.
Gillaspie homered off Tigers starter Rick Porcello (6-6) in the second, and Beckham homered off reliever Bruce Rondon in the seventh. But a three-run rally in the sixth for the Tigers kept them comfortably in front.
Hunter's infield single extended the frame with two outs. Cabrera, Fielder and Victor Martinez followed with three straight run-scoring singles.
"They're professional hitters," Ventura said. "They know how to go the other way. Even when they blew it open, everything is going the other way, staying inside of it, hitting it hard. If you're not sharp going through this lineup, it's not good news."
Porcello gave up three runs on seven hits over six innings, as the White Sox (35-53) lost for the eighth time in the last nine games at Comerica. They also dipped to 5-20 in their last 25 road games this season.
With Jake Peavy scheduled to make a Minor League rehab start for Double-A Birmingham on Sunday in Huntsville, Ala., Axelrod's rotation spot could be in jeopardy when Peavy returns from a fractured rib on his left side. It's not something Axelrod will worry about until the time comes, especially with Peavy and John Danks talked about as trade targets.
Instead, Axelrod can ponder the rough road over the last month, which included a velocity drop on Wednesday, although part of that might have to do with a slow radar gun at Comerica Park.
"I didn't feel like [my velocity was down], but I noticed it out there," Axelrod said. "I feel fine. I don't know if the gun was right on or if it was low or what, but I felt fine.
"You can't throw 84 or 85 to big league hitters and expect to throw it by them. I don't know if that was really what I was throwing or what. I'm kind of scratching my head with that one, too."
Count Tigers manager Jim Leyland as one individual in Axelrod's corner, if for his makeup as much as his stuff.
"To be honest with you, I was impressed," said Leyland. "The guy might not be lights-out stuff but at the same time, this guy knows what he's doing. I'm sure Robin was thrilled that he got that deep into the game after the way it started, because it looked like we might get to it, but he hung in there tough."
As for the White Sox as a team, they moved closer to general manager Rick Hahn making moves to reshape this group than they did to the Tigers (50-40) atop the American League Central. Hahn spoke to members of the Chicago media pregame, but he did not address trade rumors or the team's direction.
But Hahn did not hide from this team's miserable first half, explaining that the White Sox deserve to be 14 games out of first and in last place based on their on-field showing.
"We've earned that record. You've seen the way we've played," Hahn said. "We sit where we sit in the standings because of our performance. Looking at these guys right now, to say we should be contending, there is strong evidence of their performances against that right now.
"Once we take a look at this club in the offseason, then we are in a better position to make an assessment about where the competitiveness sits and how quickly we can get to where we want to be. For whatever reason, it hasn't been in sync this year."

Hi , friends.
This is the initial of my work with Greek soldiers.
Using references, I sought to make varieties of soldiers from the Campaigns of 1912, 1921 and WWII. Among Greek infantry, Italian Legion, some evzones can be used for all periods.
The figures are still in the finishing phase and the suggestions are welcome.

Bomb Squad Gives All Clear After Checking Backpack
A bomb disposal unit from the Yakima Training Center gave the all clear after checking out a suspicious backpack found in front of the Selah Civic Center this morning. Selah fire officials say First Street was closed between Jim Clements Way and Yakima Avenue. But the roadway is now open.
The backpack apparently belonged to someone who simply forgot it at a bus stop in the area.

What is this silly "it's all the Unions' fault" business about? Sure, they're probably partly to blame, but you guys just leap right to that when, frankly, neither you nor I have 1/1000th of the knowledge to truly understand what happened here. "The unions shut it down" is pretty simplistic thinking. What management did or didn't do in the past to make the company competitive, what the debt load is, what the equity owners were and weren't willing to do -- none of that matters in your simplistic view. It's just crazy.
So, for the sake of it, I decided to spent 10 seconds looking up its history, at least since the 2004 bankruptcy. Here's what Wikipedia has to say.
[quote]2004 Bankruptcy
On September 22, 2004, Interstate Bakeries filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company also named a new chief executive, Tony Alvarez. Interstate Bakery's stock, which had been at one time $34/share, fell to $2.05/share as they declared bankruptcy. At the time it was the longest bankruptcy in U.S. history. During bankruptcy, Interstate fought a 2007 bid from Mexican baked goods giant Grupo Bimbo and Ron Burkle of the Yucaipa Companies. [11]
With the leadership of Craig Jung, the company emerged from bankruptcy as a private company on February 3, 2009.[12] The plan included a 50 percent equity stake by Ripplewood Holdings and lines/loans by General Electric Capital and GE Capital Markets, Silver Point Finance and Monarch Master Funding. Interstate's union workers made contract concessions in exchange for equity.[13]
During the 2004-2009 bankruptcy period, Interstate closed nine of its 54 bakeries and more than 300 outlet stores. Interstate's work force declined from 32,000 to 22,000 employees. The company also dropped some regional brands and operating agreements, such as the agreement to produce Sunbeam Bread for the northeastern U.S. (now produced by LePage Bakeries of Auburn, Maine)..]/quote]
So it looks like we have a LONG running bankruptcy in which the main owner prior to bankruptcy FOUGHT efforts to have the company sold to other bidders. "We got this" they're saying. They come out of bankruptcy with a slimmed down operation, with unions and debtholders making concessions and getting equity in return.
Now, LESS THAN THREE YEARS after coming out of a 5 year bankruptcy, they're once again forced to file. The equity ownership that the unions got for prior concessions -- yeah, those are gone now.
So what happened? Who knows, other than the obvious fact that their debt-load was too high. It's definitely possible that they overleveraged the company -- that happens all the time -- and the unions weren't interested in another round of cuts. They'd rather see the business die than take it on the chin again.
Maybe it was the union. Maybe it's 100% on them. But without knowing alot more, including how their packages compared to non-union employees, etc., it's certainly hard to say for sure. All we know is they were the final nail in a coffin that was being built for the last 8 years, sicne the company seemingly never really recovered from teh 2004 bankrutpcy.
"I love signature blocks on the Internet. I get to put whatever the hell I want in quotes, pick a pretend author, and bang, it's like he really said it." George Washington

Be on alert for fake Super Bowl tickets.
By ERINN CONNOR
Staff Writer
Published 22 January 2011 09:13 PM
Photo: Jim Mahoney/Staff Photographer
These four tickets to Super Bowl XLV have a face value of $900 each but were on sale at Metro Tickets for $4,000 apiece.
Dallas ticket broker Jeff Green knows the tricks the NFL uses to trip up Super Bowl counterfeiters.
The thick, heavy paper with bar codes. The holograms. The raised ink. The heat-sensitive logos that disappeared with a touch of your thumb.
"You could pass a fake $100 bill a lot easier than you could pass a fake Super Bowl ticket," said Green of Ticket Finders USA.
But even with the high-level security measures, officials again are raising warnings about ticket scammers and crooked scalpers before the big game Feb. 6 in Arlington.
Ticket sales for the game will speed up in the secondary markets after the conference championship games today. But already, the NFL, ticket brokers and consumer watchdog groups have issued tips for fans to protect themselves.
Jeanette Kopko, a spokeswoman for the Dallas Better Business Bureau, said buyers should be especially wary of online offers.
"You don't really know who's behind it, and you should know who the seller is," she said.
Kopko suggested paying through a secure website. She advised using a credit card or other secure form of payment, because that leaves a paper trail and can help in disputing the charge with the card issuer or bank
More than 90,000 tickets are expected to be sold for the Super Bowl XLV — with most (75 percent) divided among all the NFL teams. The cheapest seat's face value is $600.
Fans looking for last-minute tickets from unfamiliar sources should be wary:
After the Super Bowl two years ago in suburban Phoenix, police arrested nine people and confiscated nearly 50 unsold, forged tickets and $6,000.
Last year, a scam artist in Albany, N.Y., pleaded guilty to conning more than $8,000 from a woman who traveled to Miami to pick up eight tickets that didn't exist.
"Anytime there's a big event in the news, scammers will focus on that and catch you off guard," Kopko said. "If it sounds too good to be true, trust your instincts and don't buy."
In past years, about 100 to 250 people have shown up at the gate for each Super Bowl with bogus tickets, said Anastasia Danias, the NFL's vice president of legal affairs.
Robert Lodes, head of MetroTickets.com, a Dallas ticket broker, said counterfeiting should be a concern for buyers, and that going through a "brick-and-mortar storefront or a place with membership to the Better Business Bureau" is the best route.
Green, who gets his tickets from sources he wouldn't identify, is on the National Association of Ticket Brokers' board of directors. He supports having added security features to Super Bowl tickets, a protection for both him and customers.
"There are some secret things they have that they keep under wraps," Green said of the NFL. "There's a feel to them, a look. It's not just a regular ticket you can print up."
Among tickets for major sporting events, Super Bowl tickets are the toughest to reproduce, he said. Tickets to the National Championship Game of the Bowl Championship Series, for instance, just had a "regular layman bar code, nothing fancy," he said.
Scalping is illegal outside Cowboys Stadium, and police say they will be on the alert for cheats.
"We will be running operations and actively looking for scalpers," said Arlington police spokeswoman Tiara Ellis Richard.
Meanwhile, legitimate tickets remain available — but for a hefty price. On Ticketmaster, the NFL's official ticket exchange, prices ranged from $3,100 to $16,000.

Modular industrial power controls reduce energy use
Siemens Industry Inc. introduced the next generation of its proven Sirius Modular System of power control products with the Feb. 1 release of a new line called Sirius Innovations.
The Sirius Innovations line comes in sizes S00 (10 hp) and S0 (30 hp) and incorporates sustainable elements that make more efficient use of space and simplify assembly, while reducing power consumption. Increased power performance up to 40 A in a reduced 45 mm footprint is one key benefit to the space savings provided by the new products.
Additionally, Sirius Innovations include IO-Link communication modules that dramatically reduce control wiring and quickly snap onto contactors of direct, reversing and wye-delta motor starters up to 30 horsepower. The IO-Link modules also allow status and diagnostic data communication to the Siemens Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) platform. AS-Interface communication modules for motor starters have also been added to the product range.
"Sirius Innovations is a feature-rich new series of power controls that offers benefits to panel builders and end users alike," said Raj Batra, president of the Industry Automation Division of Siemens Industry Inc. "With the introduction of this new line, Siemens is setting a new standard in terms of capability and reliability while helping customers stay flexible in design, efficient in their processes and connected to critical information."
The Sirius Innovations product line includes an expansion of termination options with the introduction of ring-lug terminal versions. The ring-lug terminals enable Siemens to access new markets like Semiconductors where the industry has a standard requirement to use ring-lug terminals.
Siemens said Sirius Innovations are:
Efficient through increased performance in a reduced compact design, as well as time and installation savings with "snap and go" components. Energy consumption is reduced up to 98% improving product efficiency throughout the product lifecycle
Flexible because of a versatile modular design and are approved and installed worldwide
Connected with communication capable components, as well as data transparency and diagnostics.

Harbaugh '06 Headed to Sundanceby Jim Amidon • January 13, 2012 Share:
Wabash alumnus Russ Harbaugh's film, Rolling on the Floor Laughing, has been selected for the Sundance Film Festival. The 2006 Wabash grad's film is one of 32 American short films selected for Sundance, which runs from January 19-29 in Park City, Utah.
Harbaugh wrote and directed Rolling on the Floor Laughing as his master's degree thesis project at Columbia University. The Wabash English major and All-American quarterback earned his MFA in directing.
Rolling on the Floor Laughing was first screened publicly at Wabash College in April 2011, just days before it won awards at the Columbia University Film Festival. Watch the trailer here.
The film was accepted in the Shorts Competition and will be screened four times during the festival — January 20, 21, 24, and 26 — and all four screenings are sold out. Rolling on the Floor Laughing will be shown at the Redstone Cinema 8 and Prospector Square Theater in Park City, and the Broadway Centre Cinema 6 in Salt Lake City.
Harbaugh is blogging about his Sundance experience for the Huffington Post. Follow his time at Sundance here.
More than 7,600 short films were submitted to Sundance. Only 18 short feature films from American directors were selected.
As an undergraduate, Harbaugh earned fame as the quarterback of Wabash's undefeated football team in 2005. The team won the North Coast Conference title and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Playoffs. Harbaugh was honored as the NCAC's Offensive Player of the Year, received All-America honors, and was a finalist for the Gagliardi Award.
He also made a pair of documentary films while a student at Wabash. The Evansville native turned heads with his videos, Beside Myself (2005) and Thy Loyal Sons (2006), which ignited conversation and debate about the very essence of Wabash — masculinity, identity, and relationships.
The films earned Harbaugh the Phi Beta Kappa Prize in his senior year, and helped him gain acceptance in a master's degree program in film at Columbia University.
"We shot the film in Indiana, in the home where I grew up, from a script that began merely as a conversation between a loving mother (mine) and her curious, needling son (me)," said Harbaugh. "It's a project inspired by films with modern, revisionist instincts toward autobiography — films like Maurice Pialat's We Will Not Grow Old Together — films that wrestle with reality while abiding the structures of fiction."
Harbaugh gives a brief description of his film: "Rolling on the Floor Laughing is the story of a love-triangle between a middle-aged widow, a new lover in from out of town, and the woman's grown sons with whom she shares a candid, sometimes unsettling intimacy. The story takes place over the course of a birthday weekend, the night before and the day of a party."
Harbaugh excelled in his graduate work at Columbia. He earned honors distinction in both screenwriting and directing, and had a celebrated apprenticeship under writer/director Eric Mendelsohn. Harbaugh worked with Mendelsohn on the film 3 Backyards, which won the directing prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010.
"It's been a startling education, and has shown me the kind of personal and profound art that can be created when a group of interested friends and family and friends of friends and friends of family decide that they want to help," Harbaugh said.
During his junior year at Wabash, Harbaugh explored Wabash's history as a college for men and its many coeducation studies in Beside Myself. The 30-minute film also served as a metaphor for Harbaugh, who struggled through a difficult junior football season and was trying to work through his relationship with his twin brother, Barry.
A standing-room-only crowd of over 300 turned out for the film's screening in Salter Hall.
A year later — and following his record-shattering senior football season — he produced another film, Thy Loyal Sons, which followed three Wabash students in their daily routines at the College. That film examined issues of labels and the compartmentalization of Wabash. Harbaugh told the stories of an African American football player, a fraternity man going through Sphinx Club rush, and an openly gay theater major.

Randy Bachman, Sarah McLachlan, Phil Hartman get stars on Canada's Walk of Fame

Last Updated Sunday, September 23, 2012 10:38AM CST
TORONTO -- As a comic actor, Phil Hartman was versatile and unselfish, so adept at shining in whatever supporting role he was given that his fellow "Saturday Night Live" cast members nicknamed him "the Glue." He held the show together.
Hartman was rarely front and centre, but that doesn't mean the Canadian-born comedian -- who died in 1998 -- didn't appreciate the odd accolade and he certainly would have enjoyed being inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame, says his brother.
"I think he would have really appreciated it," said Paul Hartmann, whose brother dropped the extra "N" when he entered show business. "He loved getting his Emmy (for writing on 'SNL'). He always would play it down -- 'No no, not into it.' He was stretching it a bit there.
"He was working out his neuroses on TV, and he needed a lot of attention he didn't get as a child."
He's kidding, of course. Because it was actually Paul who wanted to see his brother get attention this time, and he worked tirelessly for years to see it happen.
Phil was inducted into Toronto's concrete shrine at a gala on Saturday, the only posthumous honouree amongst a group that also included Winnipeg guitar wizard Randy Bachman, Vancouver-based chanteuse Sarah McLachlan, Hamilton-raised CFL great Russ Jackson and Toronto ballerina Sonia Rodriguez.
Past honourees who have claimed stars since the Walk of Fame was founded in 1998 include Gordon Lightfoot, Celine Dion, Wayne Gretzky and the Guess Who -- so Bachman already had a star, but he likes his new one better.
"It feels really good -- you don't have to share it with anybody," laughed Bachman, the 68-year-old guitarist for the Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive who wrote or co-wrote such tunes as "American Woman," "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet," "Takin' Care of Business" and "These Eyes."
"After a lifetime of a lot of valleys and a couple hills, (somebody's) saying, 'We realize that some stuff you've done is important to some of the people."'
Rodriguez, meanwhile, didn't think she would ever be honoured like this.
"It's not very often that a ballet dancer gets recognized in this way. It's not something that people think a lot of times is mainstream, it gets a little bit forgotten, the arts get pushed aside sometimes. So you just don't think it's going to happen," Rodriguez said.
She navigated a red carpet flanked by enthusiastic onlookers in downtown Toronto alongside her two sons and her husband, retired figure skater Kurt Browning -- who received his own star almost a decade ago.
"We don't have to fight over them now," Rodriguez added with a laugh.
For Paul, the "long and arduous journey" to see his brother recognized began years ago when he hopped aboard an existing online campaign by Alex Stevens, a Hartman fan from Whitby, Ont.
Along with fans around the world, they co-ordinated a broad social media campaign to draw attention to their online petition for Phil's induction. They also rallied for Phil in the media, issuing a press release that made the rounds online and ultimately netted Paul more than 200 interviews with radio, TV and print outlets.
But each year, the Walk of Fame only inducts one Canadian posthumously, and Phil was passed over during the first year of the campaign. And the second. (Beloved author Mordecai Richler took the prize last year, while magician Doug Henning was honoured the year before).
This year, Paul and a team of his brother's fans stepped up their efforts. They recruited SiriusXM satellite radio to help with the campaign, as well as a bevy of Phil's famous friends who were more than happy to help out or vote online, a group that Paul says included Rob Lowe, cast members of "Kids in the Hall," Brent Butt, original "SNL" player Laraine Newman and character actor James Patrick Stuart.
Paul is understandably elated now to see his efforts were successful -- and it's serendipitous that the ceremony should happen to fall two days before what would have been his brother's 64th birthday.
"It was a major relief to know that I wasn't going to have to go through another year of battling it out," the 58-year-old said with a laugh.
One of eight siblings, Phil Hartman was born in Brantford, Ont. The family eventually moved to California, and Phil and Paul were roommates there years later when Hartman broke into comedy as a member of the Groundlings improv troupe in the late '70s. (Their brother, John, is also in show business as a music agent, manager and executive who has steered the careers of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Sonny & Cher).
"What we really loved was when Phil would get a pay cheque -- the first thing he would do is go over to Hollywood Magic and Costume and he'd get some goofy thing," Paul recalled. "And he'd come back and do Phil shtick, which was usually painful and led to a lot of rolling around on the floor and screaming and yelling."
Hartman met Paul Reubens while working with Groundlings, co-creating Reubens's signature Pee-wee Herman character and co-writing the feature film "Pee-wee's Big Adventure."
Hartman got his big break the following year when he joined the cast and writing staff of "SNL."
A wry impressionist, Hartman was famous during his eight-year run on the show for spot-on impersonations of former U.S. president Bill Clinton, Frank Sinatra and Phil Donahue.
He went on to make crucial contributions to the critically acclaimed sitcoms "Newsradio" and "The Simpsons," on which he used his distinct voice to animate several beloved characters including incompetent lawyer Lionel Hutz and washed-up actor Troy McClure.
Hartman tended to play characters who were glib, slippery, cowardly and egomaniacal, convincingly dissolving into a concession of jerks who had little to do with him but nonetheless became his own.
"Everything he did was brilliant," said Paul Shaffer, the Canadian musical director on "Late Show With David Letterman" and the host of this year's Walk of Fame gala.
"His Sinatra impression stays with me, of course. It was the best. He was the best."
Paul is certainly glad to see those achievements recognized, but wishes he didn't have to accept the honour on behalf of his brother, who was shot and killed by his third wife Brynn Omdahl before she subsequently committed suicide.
"It's bittersweet," said Paul, who lives in Owen Sound, Ont. "You wish there was another way this could happen. I would give up anything, my leg, to have my brother back. And have him getting (his star) on his own."
He's glad now to have the campaign behind him, since he admits that reaching for Phil's star occasionally brought some difficult feelings back to the fore.
"I've just resigned myself to the fact that there's no getting over this," he said. "Sometimes it hurts more than others. You get around his birthday or the date of the tragedy -- lots of heavy emotion. And the last two years, because I keep having to revisit these places because of the Walk of Fame, would get pretty hard sometimes.
"So it's not one of those things you can heal. It just doesn't heal. It's always going to be there, so you learn to live with it, and you love from afar. That's really all you can do. You wish he was here, you miss him, it's not going away, and that's just life."
The ceremony will be broadcast on Oct. 14.

Frustrated residents protest outside New York utility
NEW YORK (AP) -- Even as the lights came for many who lost power in New York and New Jersey during the superstorm and a later nor'easter, hundreds of residents protested Saturday outside a Long Island utility, frustrated by its slow response to outages.
Power restoration has been slower there than in other areas hit by Superstorm Sandy, sparking criticism of the Long Island Power Authority. Some of the 130,000 blacked out homes and businesses the utility serves may not have power restored until the end of Tuesday, LIPA said.
In the rest of the region hardest hit by the storm, most service was expected to be restored by the end of the weekend, though that doesn't include tens of thousands of homes too damaged to juice up.
"We are sitting in a cold house. No one comes by," said John Mangin of Levittown, N.Y. "There should be criminal charges against the CEO and the executive board of LIPA for failure to do their jobs."
He was among about 300 people staging a rally in front of LIPA's office in Hicksville, N.Y. Not all were without power, but some who have power said they were there to protest LIPA's lack of communication.
LIPA chief operating officer Michael Hervey said they were aware customers haven't gotten the information they've needed from the utility, partly because of an outdated information technology system they're in the process of updating.
"I certainly feel the frustration of customers whose power remains out. Our hearts go out to them," Hervey said.
But he said workers are repairing unprecedented storm damage as fast as they can. About 6,400 linemen and 3,700 tree trimmers are at work, compared with 200 linemen on a normal day.
In Suffolk County, where about 28,000 remain without power, County Executive Steven Bellone announced he was cutting ties with LIPA and would deal directly with substation coordinators.
Hervey said he would not comment on that directly, but added that an ad hoc takeover of the system would lead to anarchy.
"The utility is the best suited to restore power and manage that," he said. "We can't have people step in and take over."
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has called for investigation of the region's utilities, criticizing them as unprepared and badly managed. On Friday, two congressmen from Long Island called for the federal government to help LIPA restore electricity.
"It's a totally disorganized effort, and LIPA unfortunately seems to have lost control of the situation and that's why you see so many people becoming so angry," Rep. Peter King said Saturday.
In New York City and neighboring suburban Westchester County, utility Con Edison said it has restored electricity to 98 percent of homes and businesses. About 20,000 of the utility's customers remained powerless, down from a peak of more than 1 million.
In New Jersey, less than 85,000 customers were without power Saturday, most along the coast, utilities said. That was down from 2.7 million at the height of the storm. Most were expected to have power by the end of the weekend.

As we wrap up the calendar year on the program, we look to highlight some of the more memorable discussions from The President's Perspective on KETR.
The December 2012 program starts with audio from a chat between Dr. Dan Jones, president of Texas A&M University-Commerce, and another news radio station, on the topic of the University's presence in downtown Dallas.
We also take the opportunity to listen back to a conversation Dr. Jones hosted with Dr. Barbara Tucker, who is heading up the A&M-Commerce Nursing Program.
Finally, we step back to June of this year, when Dallas Mavericks owner and TV personality Mark Cuban blogged about the high cost and lingering debt associated with the education of today's graduates. Dr. Jones took the chance to further that discussion, presenting the value of higher education in sharper detail against the backdrop of the economic state of education worldwide.
The President's Perspective is a monthly half-hour chat with Dr. Dan Jones, and is heard on the first Wednesday of each month at noon and again at 5pm on the air for all of northeast Texas at 88.9fm, and online for the world at ketr.org.

I usually cook something quick for both lunch and dinner whenever T is away or has dinner appointment. This is something new I tried yesterday, spaghetti with curry sauce instead of bolognese sauce. Ingredients used are similar to bolognese (onion, tomato and mince), subbed tomato paste with curry paste and added curry leaves and chopped chillies.

It's easy to cook pasta at home, and so much cheaper. I used Baba's brand curry powder, and mixed it with some water to make curry paste. If you like spicy one, can add some chili paste (cili giling).
Happy cooking!
If you like curry then you will like this dish. :D
