Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Bipartisanship yet to take holdBy GARRY RAYNO
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 08. 2012 9:22PM
Organization Day was filled with good tidings and promises of bipartisanship and civility, particularly in the House, where for the last two years the atmosphere was a little testy and decidedly partisan.
But one of the first acts of the new House leadership under Democrat Terie Norelli of Portsmouth was to fire Betty Lichty, the House speaker's receptionist.
Norelli first hired her for the position when she became speaker in 2006, and Lichty remained for the two years William O'Brien held the office.
While several former House Republican staff noted the firing on Twitter, as did former House Deputy Speaker Pam Tucker of Greenland, Manchester Republican Rep. Steve Vaillancourt went a step further.
He blasted Norelli for the move and in a letter asked her to reconsider the action, calling Lichty "not merely extremely competent. I dare say that she was loved by all who came into contact with her."
The official reason given for the move was to bring in new staff.
Certainly, that was the message Norelli left Wednesday after taking over as speaker. She named her former majority leader, Mary Jane Wallner, as the chairman of House Finance, which was chaired by Rep. Marjorie Smith of Durham when Democrats controlled the House from 2006 to 2010.
Smith did not run in 2010, but was reelected this year, and many believed she would want the spot again.
Norelli also named Stephen Shurtleff of Concord as the new majority leader. He had been chairman of Criminal Justice and Public Safety before.
But Vaillancourt had a different take on the action.
"This staffing decision flies in the face of (Wednesday's) promises to bring us together in an attempt to repair the damage of the last two years," he wrote. "I had hoped you were planning to staff the House with competent people rather than party officers out for a payback."
Vaillancourt sent his letter to the speaker's chief of staff, the media and all 398 House members.
- - - - - - -
ANOTHER ROCKY START: The Senate was not much different as Senate President Peter Bragdon announced committee chairs Wednesday afternoon after the ceremonies had ended, and not one was a Democrat.
The Senate's 13-11 partisan makeup had many believing Democrats would hold some committee chairs, as they have in the past when the breakdown was close. But that was not the case.
Senate Minority Leader Sylvia Larsen of Concord said she had encouraged Bragdon to name some Democrats as committee chairmen as she had named four Republicans chairs when she was Senate president and the breakdown was 14 Democrats and 10 Republicans.
"I was surprised and disappointed," Larsen said. "We had a discussion, and he said the decision was made and any appeal was not going to change it."
The voters sent the message they want bipartisanship, she said, but instead there was an unfortunate message sent "as we start the session that we hoped would be more bipartisan and with a greater sense of fairness.''
Ten years ago, Bragdon noted, there were 22 Senate committees, so there were plenty of chairmanships to go around, but that is no longer the case, with only nine major committees and two smaller ones.
Bragdon did appoint Democrats as vice chairs of several committees Friday when he released the committee assignments, showing three Republicans and two Democrats on most committees, with the exception of the powerful Senate Finance Committee, which has four Republicans and two Democrats.
"With the workload, it would have made sense to have four Republicans and, say, three Democrats on Finance," Larsen said.
Whatever budget is developed will need bipartisan support, she noted, and the support of Democratic Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan.
"The Senate is very close, but the balance on the committees is skewed," she said. "Under our leadership in past years, it was more equal in treatment than we are getting right now."
- - - - - - -
CHANGE COMES QUICKLY: It did not take long for the picture of former Speaker O'Brien to come down off the House's official website and for Norelli's to go up.
The change was made before noon on Wednesday.
- - - - - - -
BILLS BECOME LAW: The 2011-12 Legislature is history, but its work lives on.
Forty-three bills were signed into law and will take effect Jan. 1. Some of the bills caused a stir.
One of the most controversial, House Bill 1679, would end partial birth abortions, but it is largely symbolic. Federal law prohibits partial birth abortions, and many people testified the procedure is not used in the state.
Despite the law's lack of teeth, anti-abortion activists say it continues the gains they have made the past two years.
Another new law changes the state's Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative program to make it easier for New Hampshire to pull out of the Northeastern States compact if other states decide to leave.
Under the law, money from the sale of carbon emissions allowances for energy conservation measures will now go to programs run by the state's privately owned utilities rather than be distributed through a committee established under the Public Utilities Commission.
Another law touches on collective-bargaining rights. It will allow the chief negotiators in talks that reach an impasse to make presentations directly to the other side's membership or directors.
In-state tuition may become a little more difficult to obtain at the University System of New Hampshire's colleges. Come Jan. 1, every student receiving the in-state tuition rate will have to sign an affidavit saying he or she is a legal resident of the United States.
Spurred by a boating accident several years ago, the law resulting from Senate Bill 285 will allow the state to suspend a person's driver's license for serious boating offenses and vice versa.
The bill was inspired by the high-profile case of Erica Blizzard, the Laconia woman who was convicted of negligent homicide for killing a close friend, Stephanie Beaudoin, while piloting a boat the night of June 15, 2008, on Lake Winnipesaukee.
A day after Blizzard's conviction, in April 2010, she was arrested for reckless driving. Police said she was using her cellphone while driving 84 mph in a 65 mph zone, failed to signal a lane change and nearly hit a uniformed officer.
Another new law allows naturopathic doctors to receive the same reimbursement from health insurers as other physicians who perform the same procedures.
Beginning Jan. 1, the arrest records of police will have to be available to the public.
The arrest record must contain the identity of the individual arrested, the identity of the arresting officer, a statement of why and how the arrest was made, the alleged crime, and whether a warrant was issued.
- - - - - - -
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays: I will be on vacation for the next two weeks, so there will be no State House Dome until after Christmas. I would like to wish you all the best for the holiday season, and may you enjoy your time with family and friends.

The Injury Prevention Program
Birth to Six Months
Did you know that every month nearly 400 children under 4 years old die in the United States because of accidents? Most of these accidents can be prevented.
Often, accidents happen because parents are not aware of what their children can do. Children learn fast, and in no time at all a child who can barely lift his head will be wiggling off a bed or reaching for your cup of hot coffee.
Car Injuries
Car crashes are the biggest danger to your child's life and health. Most auto injuries and deaths can be prevented by the use of car safety seats. Besides being much safer in a car seat, your child will behave better, so you can pay attention to your driving. Ask your doctor which seats are safe. Make the "First Ride" a safe ride home from the hospital.
Make certain that your baby's car seat is installed properly. Use it every time your child is in the car.
As soon as he is born your baby will wiggle and move and push against things with his feet. Even these very first movements can result in a fall. As he grows, he will suddenly be able to roll over and fall off everything. Do not leave him alone on high places such as changing tables, beds, sofas or chairs. If left unprotected, he will fall.
He may be able to crawl as early as six months. Use gates on stairways and keep him out of rooms where he might hurt himself.
Call your doctor if your child falls and hits his head, or if he does not move his arms and legs normally after a fall.
At 3 to 5 months, your baby will wave his fists and grab at things. NEVER eat, drink or carry anything hot near your baby or while you are holding him. He will get burned. You can't handle both!
If your child does get burned, put the burned area in cold water immediately. Then cover the burn loosely with a bandage or clean cloth. Call your doctor for all burns. To protect your child from scalds, reduce the temperature of your hot water to 120F.
To protect your child from house fires, be sure you have a smoke alarm in your house.
Your baby will soon be exploring his environment by putting anything and everything into his mouth. NEVER leave small objects in your baby's reach, even for a moment. NEVER feed him hard pieces of food. He may choke. Be prepared for this very serious event. Learn how to save the life of a choking child. Your doctor will recommend the steps you need to know.
One of the biggest threats to your baby's life and health is an accident.

Take a few minutes to look over Jill Stein's
Saint Laurent BELLECHASSE CROC EMBOSSED LEATHER BAG lccvyDIc7
and VIDA Leather Statement Clutch Baby OPi by VIDA MNNklVES8
. If this was your primary source of information, you would literally have no idea that Republicans are on the brink of taking healthcare away from 24 million Americans to pay for a one Trillion dollar tax cut for the rich. You would have no idea that Trump is the most corrupt president to ever defile the Oval Office. You definitely wouldn't know that hate speech and hate crimes have spiked across the country. Instead, you'd come away with the impressions that the corporate media is out to get Stein, the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton are the source of all evil in the world, and that this whole silly Russia thing is just a distraction. In other words, Jill Stein sounds an awful lot like Donald Trump without the mental instability.
So far in
VIDA Statement Bag Explosion by VIDA rjxIo
, Stein has mentioned Trump about 20 times between retweets and direct comments:
3 tweets about Trump pulling out of the Paris agreement.1 tweet about selling weapons to the Saudis (but she made sure to mention both parties).1 tweet about Trump being temporarily blocked on DAPL.
Several are posts about how Stein didn't say Hillary was the same as Trump. This led to a long series of tweets about just how terrible Hillary is, making her furious tweetstorm of denial a distinction without a difference. The remainder are about how Rachel Maddow and Politico are out to smear her because they're the corporate media and she's a morally pure warrior for progress, etc. etc. etc. She mentions Republicans once.
There's a few tweets about other issues but the bulk of her timeline is preoccupied with attacking the Democrats and the media and downplaying the Russian hacking story. She also manages to spend part of her time talking about rigged elections, making her timeline more like something a Trump supporter would put together and less like a peek inside the mind of a "progressive." Stein clearly has little to no interest in the incalculable damage Trump and the Republicans are doing to the country. To be fair, Stein had a tweetstorm in late May about Kris Kobach and his impending election rigging but in the context of her other tweets (or lack thereof), this seems like a ploy to reduce confidence in elections (and thus, reduce voter participation) rather than a legitimate concern.
Financial conversation platform Juntos handles millions of simultaneous conversations with users in eight countries every day.
Chat via SMS revolves around money management and personal finance. These conversations are with people who are enabled by the platform to manage their meager income well and even set aside money for savings.
Peter Illetschko
In the words of CEO and Co-Founder Ben Knelman, the challenge for their young company is that "so many people feel isolated in their financial lives. How do you create tools that change how people think and feel about their money?"
The eight-year-old company headquartered in San Carlos, California started out as a class project at the Sandford design school in 2010.
Knelman wrote in the company's first blog post that they continued the project after seeing that the financial coaching system they developed was able to help their interviewees in a big way. Karina, a Mexican immigrant who works as a night shift janitor, in particular, was able to save USD 2,000 in a year's time on income that's barely enough to cover the basic necessities of life.
Hence, the platform's first users were first-generation Latino immigrants around the Stanford area. They keep track of their daily expenses and send the details to Juntos via text message. At the end of the month, they get a summary of their expenditures to help them make sense of their finances. The platform also coaches people on how to work towards a financial goal.
The company has since received some USD 7.4m in funding to keep the conversations going.
"We localized to Bemba, Nyanja and Lozi (Zambian dialects), Swahili, Arabic, Tagalog, and Spanish native to three different Latin American countries" — Peter Illetschko, Director of Localization, Juntos
"During the early years of Juntos, we created our messages directly in Spanish. As we grew to other regions, we realized that by writing in English and then localizing to many different languages we would be able to scale up and reach many more users more quickly and efficiently," said Peter Illetschko, Director of Localization at Juntos, in an email interview with Slator.

Child Abuse
Spiral Fracture Accident
There is a 2 1/2yr.old in the home with no signs of abuse, in fact mother is overprotective. Mother laid baby next to father in bed, walked down hallway, baby was crying, mother walked back to bedroom and dad said he was not awake and rolled over onto baby-baby crying, mom took him to ER, ER sent her to another hospital, they kept her and baby 30 hrs and said it was a spiral fracture and removed baby from her and then took older child out of home-can it be possible for a 260lb man to roll onto child and perhaps his elbow pushed down on baby`s arm to create this fracture? Is it always instantly child abuse? Chilren`s pediatrician does not believe it is abuse, please help, I am desperate! Thank you.
You are asking if a spiral femur fracture is always due to child abuse. The answer to this question is no. Spiral femur fractures can be caused by both child abuse and by accident.
The evaluation and risk assessment done by Children's Services must take into account many factors, one of which is the likelihood of accident vs abuse for a particular injury.
Other factors typically include past medical and social history, family history and assessment and specific events that took place before and after medical care is sought. Frequently in young children, evidence of occult trauma is looked for as well.

Man, 68, arrested for allegedly assaulting 3 women in hot tub
LEELANAU COUNTY, Mich. (WPBN/WGTU)-- A 68-year-old man was arrested after allegedly assaulting three women in a hot tub.
It happened Saturday around 12:14 a.m. on North Dockside Circle in the Village of Suttons Bay.
According to the Leelanau County Sheriff's Office, three women told deputies they were in a hot tub when they were approached by a man. The man then told the women they needed to leave. A short time later, the man returned.
Deputies say the man grabbed one of the women and attempted to pull her from the hot tub. A second woman attempted to intervene, but the man punched the woman in the mouth. The man then kicked and knocked down the third woman in the hot tub.
The victims told deputies another man intervened and the woman were able to get away from the area and call 911.
A 22-year-old woman from Riley suffered injuries to her mouth. A 25-year-old woman from Byron Center had injuries from being kicked in the side of her body. A 23-year-old woman from Port Huron had scratches on her body and a torn bathing suit top.
The suspect, a 68-year-old man from Suttons Bay was identified and arrested on three counts of assault and battery. He was placed behind bars in the Leelanau County Jail.

text: Search has become an integral part of Windows, particularly in later versions. While the major search improvements began with Windows Vista and were backported to Windows XP, it's really only with Windows 7 that the larger majority of users are discovering the search bar all over in the operating system. Search is built into every aspect of Windows 7 to help users cope with the increasingly rapidly growing number of files, be they work documents and e-mails, personal photos and videos, or music collections. Many users perform searches without thinking nowadays: it's an ingrained habit of using the operating system. Like many habits, this one is worth breaking in order to to develop an even better one. Here we take a quick look at a few basic search techniques and a few more advanced ones. Force yourself to use them and you'll soon become a master of Windows Search.

Ben Alberstadt, a featured columnist on BleacherReport.com, has an interesting piece that focuses in on why it is that the distance the golf ball travels is ruining golf.
Alberstadt writes:
Although many believe that the 2004 USGA decision regarding driver head size and maximum COR quashed the issue of increasing driving distance on the PGA Tour, this is not the case. Further, the "distance plateau" -- that is, the fact that the driving distance of the top players on tour has only increased marginally from that point until the present—is a red herring.
As Karen Crouse of the New York Times explains, although the top players on tour have been constant with an average of about 315 yards off the tee, the averages of the moderately-long hitters on tour have increased substantially: "In 1997, the 50th-ranked player averaged 272.3 yards. By 2002, the distance had risen to 285.0. In 2012, it was 294.7."
This points to a fundamental shift in the way the game is played at the professional level: the bomb-and-gouge player (typified by John Daly) is becoming the rule, rather than the exception.
Shotmaking, on life support for the past 20 years, is now surely dead and the tour has become a pitch-and-putt exhibition of booming drives and high-lofted approach shots.

Ensor, James Sidney, Baron Ensor, born on April 13, 1860- died on November 19, 1949, Belgian painter and etcher.
Ensor's imagery reflected one of the most bizarre and powerful visions of his era. He left his native Ostend to study painting (1877-80) at the Académie de Bruxelles.
His early works were of traditional subjectslandscapes, still lifes, portraits, interiorspainted in deep, rich colors and lighted by subdued but vibrant light.
In Brussels he became one of the original members of "Les XX, a group of avant-garde artists, writers, and musicians. Ensor was highly inspired by literature (Balzac) and he himself inspired some writers (Jean Lorrain). As Ensor was active in the artistic fin-de-siècle milieu of Brussels, he had several writers for friends (Eekhoud, Demolder, Verhaeren, Blanche Rousseau and later Crommelynck, René Lyr).
Ensor exhibited with them regularly until 1888, when his pictures, particularly the Entry of Christ into Brussels (1888, J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu, California), were rejected as scandalous. While the public and press were at first hostile to his work, his paintings continued to be exhibited, and he gradually won wo ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

The ketchup lady came to the heartland yesterday, stumping in Des Moines on behalf of John Kerry. Based on the AP report, she seems to have sought out tales of woe and offered her own innovative proposal that the government "provide incentives to companies that offer health insurance to employees." Why didn't we think of that?
Addressing the suggestion that her billion dollar fortune might render her somewhat out of touch with the voters, she said: "It's so ludicrous that it makes you laugh." The AP story reporting her Iowa visit is "Heinz Kerry says she became wealthy on 'a very sad day.'"

We had a bad week. Someone (and I use the term loosely) broke into our old car and stole a small piece of the ignition, rendering poor Watson the Datsun undrivable. The perpetrator didn't take anything else, but did break some plastic and mess up the passenger door outside lock. Needless to say, we weren't pleased, and I spent most of two days dealing with it, having Watson towed to a shop, finding and installing a new ignition, and putting him back together. Then on Saturday I made the mistake of playing basketball with a group of people who dwarfed my 6'0" height and 150 lb. weight. It was, and still is, a painful experience. We also forgot to include the phone number for Amaze in last week's issue, so it's at the end of this article. Not all is gloomy though, and we did hear some good information at the latest dBUG meeting, at which Aldus honcho Paul Brainerd gave yet another "future of computing" talk but with a semi-working version of something he loosely called Multimedia PageMaker. This issue's date, Monday, November 18th, is officially my 24th birthday, which will be fun, although not as much fun as if we were back in Ithaca, an option we seriously considered as Watson sat glumly sans ignition. As some unemployed friends say, the worst that can happen is that we'll die and crows will peck out our eyeballs. :-) Anyway, on to the issue.
One quick piece of administrivia: the caretakers of the FTP site at sumex-aim.stanford.edu have decided to reorganize the site slightly. TidBITS issues will be located in the /info-mac/digest/tb/*.* directory from now on. So if you get your fix from sumex, make a note of the new spot.
There's been some confusion over results from Speedometer 3.0 (an excellent shareware utility for rating the speeds of Macs) especially in the case of the Quadras. Apparently, if you turn off the caches on a Quadra, it runs at about the speed of an SE/30 or a IIci running a color monitor in 256 colors from internal video. This has bothered a lot of people, but Mike O'Dell offers this technical explanation. "A bit of Computer Architecture 101: Without the caches running, the 68040 is limited to the speed of memory, so expecting it to go noticeably faster than a cache-less 68020 on the same memory system is pretty unreasonable. Yes, the 68040 shortened the cycle counts for some instructions, but all that means is that it gets to wait on memory more often. The limit is the memory bandwidth. Keep in mind that the access time of memory chips is only a fraction of the full cycle time of the memory system, which is usually two to three times the access time (i.e., 70 ns access yields about 200 ns write cycles, about 150 ns read cycles), and the memory system is busy for the full cycle time, unless it is bank-interleaved. Bank interleaving allows each bank to be doing a cycle simultaneously, assuming the reference stride hits the banks right. So, when you disable the primary mechanism used to reduce memory latency, you shouldn't be surprised the chip runs as slow as a chip without those features."
Jay Lieske writes with a useful tip for Nisus users: "Nisus 3.05 and later uses a file called "Nisus Text Stationery" for 'TEXT' files that lack Nisus formatting - i.e. files from the net, C source code, etc. Set up a file with that name in your Nisus folder to have the default layout and font you want." [Thanks, Jay. Speaking of Nisus and Paragon Concepts, Paragon is working on a new program to radically simplify organizing and managing files in the disk hierarchy. We haven't heard any details yet, but they posted to the Nisus list asking for name suggestions.]
Murph Sewall writes about AppleScript, the scripting module that Apple originally promised for System 7, "Apple may still envision AppleScript in a "future system" upgrade, but it hasn't received any mention among the features expected in System 7.1, including QuickTime, ATM, MODE32, and <thank goodness> a fix for that non-relocatable code that makes System 7's System memory use appear to grow without bound, plus of course, the improved SANE <math> that's already in 7.0.1. Latest word is that 7.1 will not be announced at January's Macworld (would you believe March?)."

Of course by now you've all heard that Microsoft officially announced Word 5 last week after over two and half years, but that doesn't mean that you'll see it before January. We'll probably be doing an article about what is good, bad, and ugly in the new version sometime in the future, so keep an eye out.
I haven't heard too much about this subject recently, having moved away from Cornell and its public computer rooms, but at one point I was very interested in getting a Mac to boot to a network. Actually, my low tech solution was a cheap SCSI device that held a small storage device, perhaps EPROMs. That would then work with any Mac, rather than requiring a network. (And anyone who wants to use my idea can pay me royalties and I'll tell them the rest of the details :-)). However, a more logical situation for public rooms with Ethernet installed is to use something like Sonic Systems's recently-announced The Diskless Mac (TDM). TDM is a ROM chip that replaces ROM chips on popular Ethernet cards and includes software that loads an image of the System Software into a RAM disk on the client Mac. One of TDM's claims to fame is that it will work with a Unix server as well as with an AppleShare server, which increases its flexibility. I don't know if BootToob, the other remote booting package, supports this (see TidBITS-073 for more information on BootToob). The advantage of remote booting should be obvious - client Macs don't need hard disks, easier network administration, viruses having a harder time spreading, and simpler software protection. The only drawbacks to this sort of thing are that it requires an Ethernet network, which isn't as cheap or as common as LocalTalk networks, it requires extra RAM (my guess is that 4 MB would be the minimum after you devote 1 MB to the RAM disk and 1.5 MB for the System to use for normal operation; check your About this Macintosh... to see how much your System is using), and it costs an extra $149 per Mac. Still, for the protection and convenience it offers (I wrote the moron-proof instructions for rebuilding a public hard disk from backups at Cornell, and it would have been wonderful if those Macs hadn't required rebuilding all the time), TDM could easily pay for itself in no time.

Connectix tells me that they've shipped version 2.2.1 of HAND-Off II, which adds compatibility for System 7.0.1, the PowerBooks, Quadras, and other 68040 accelerators. The upgrade is free to registered users, just call Connectix and ask. If you already own On Cue or the Now Utilities, you can get HAND-Off II for $35 directly from Connectix through December 31st, 1991. In addition to the added compatibility, Connectix's Roy MacDonald said that he felt the main benefits of the upgrade over Now Software's MultiMaster are application substitution, greater reliability, and a stronger Launch menu (it now includes a better interface, color and sound switching), and the ability to pop up the menu anywhere on the screen. HAND-Off II also includes the SuperMenu feature that makes the Apple menu hierarchical, a feat matched by Now's NowMenus, HAM from Microseeds, and the $10 shareware BeHiearchic. In this version of HAND-Off II, Connectix has optimized the SuperMenu feature for speed and memory usage, but having only used NowMenus, I can't comment on the difference. One final addition to HAND-Off II is the ability to have your menu drop automatically when you move the mouse over it, called "auto-drop," or to have the menu stay down once you click once on it, called "click-to-drop." I've found similar features irritating on 13" monitors, but Roy said that despite misgivings, he found it quite useful on a 25" monitor. Time will tell.

At the last dBUG meeting, Aldus president Paul Brainerd said that he wouldn't buy a PowerBook right away because he couldn't live in 40 MB. Luckily for him, CMS has announced 40 MB and 80 MB upgrade drives specifically for the PowerBooks, and has a 100 MB drive in the works for early 1992. These LDPB drives sport 15 ms average access time and a somewhat better throughput than Apple's models. I mistakenly said in our "Quadra Quirks" article that the hard drive in the PowerBook 100 was soldered on, which would have made upgrading the 100 quite difficult. Soldering the hard drive on to the motherboard was proposed as a way the next PowerBooks could get still smaller but got mixed up in my scribbled notes (I forgot the MiniBAT that night.). Thanks to Karl Seppala of CMS for setting me straight on that. So if you have any PowerBook and need a larger internal hard drive, these drives from CMS should now be shipping. They don't come cheap, with the LDPB 80 drive listing for $999 and the LDPB 40 for $699, but size is inversely proportional to cost these days. Needless to say, a dealer should install this sort of thing, especially considering how easy it is to mess up a PowerBook and its equally fragile warranty if you don't know what you're doing inside.
Here's an interesting new CD. Raynbow Software has searched far and wide for GIF (I believe it stands for Graphic Interchange Format and was developed by CompuServe) images and put them on a CD-ROM. They have about 5000 images of the G and PG variety, to use the Motion Pictures Association of America ratings. So those of you looking for the NC-17 GIF images should look elsewhere (X and XXX actually aren't MPAA ratings). The only catch is that GIFdb, the database software for searching among these 5000 images only runs under DOS. Ick. However, Raynbow has included GIF viewers, convertors, and manipulators for the Mac as well as the Amiga, Atari ST, and Sun, and when I asked, Louis Goldstein said that the disk was pressed in ISO 9660 format, which means that you can use it with a Mac. Without the search engine it might be a tad difficult to find any given image, but all the images will be accessible. Louis did say that they plan to create search engines for other platforms if this disc succeeds, so hope remains. The disc is being pressed as I write and should ship soon. Interestingly enough, since Raynbow has merely collected the GIF files and the utilities, those are included for free. The $50 cost covers only the media and Raynbow's DOS search engine. A penny per image isn't bad in comparison to the connect fees you would rack up downloading them, plus they're all on a single CD, a good place for space-hungry graphic files.

Well, at least that's what they claim and it sounds better than "Aldus Promises." Aldus showed up to show off at the last dBUG meeting in downtown Seattle. Aldus president Paul Brainerd started the evening with a version of his keynote address to the Seybold Conference earlier this fall, and unlike most of those "I have a dream about computers..." talks, Paul actually had an application. I liked that because I'm becoming bored with canned demos and videotape productions showing off what well-paid executives think will happen in the future. Not surprisingly, Aldus's current vision of the future is based on PageMaker, and Paul jokingly called the program "Multimedia PageMaker." The basics of the program look a lot like what I would expect PageMaker to look like once it supports QuickTime, with the ability to import and play sound, animation, and video. That was cute, but not terribly interesting. However, Paul's main point, I think, was that people receiving the information ought to be able to receive it in whatever form they wish, putting the burden on the author to make that possible and on the program to make the forms obvious. Multimedia PageMaker approached this by optionally displaying the multimedia document with sound and video as a three dimensional picture that let you look behind the virtual page. Each medium was represented by a 3-D bar whose length corresponded to the time of the sound bite or video clip, and the reader could pick and choose between them, jumping in anywhere at will, much as people browse through books or radio stations or TV channels. It was a good idea, though not exactly revolutionary. Paul did mention the serious problems of copyright and distribution but didn't offer any solutions. I'm waiting for the solutions.
Back in the real world, several product managers introduced the latest versions of their programs, PageMaker 4.2 and FreeHand 3.1. PageMaker 4.2 sounds like a solid, if not impressive, upgrade. First and foremost, it includes full System 7 support with Publish & Subscribe, which will allow PageMaker and FreeHand to be even more tightly integrated. Double-clicking on a placed FreeHand document in PageMaker will run FreeHand and open that document for editing. Changes in the FreeHand document are then reflected immediately (if you wish) in PageMaker. An enhancement that is not physically included in PageMaker's code is Aldus PrePrint, which now comes bundled in PageMaker's box for free. People who do color separations will appreciate that. Everyone will appreciate the speed increases in PageMaker 4.2, including the ability to interrupt the screen redraw. I'm not enough of a type-head to understand the use of this, but Aldus added baseline to baseline leading, and apparently that's a big deal. To compete with QuarkXPress, Aldus included a control palette (it allows users to enter precise numerical values for various actions) and the ability to load discrete modules, called Aldus Additions. Aldus showed several examples of Additions, including one that allowed repetitive actions to be scripted with a simple scripting language and another that allowed the user to arrange thumbnails of pages to quickly modify the overall arrangement of the document.
FreeHand 3.1 has a couple nice new features, including support for pressure-sensitive tablets such as those from Wacom. No other PostScript drawing program supports these pressure-sensitive tablets, so FreeHand will probably pick up some supporters on that basis alone. Other enhancements include the ability to import and export color libraries, new style and layer palettes, and of course the hot links with PageMaker, which do require System 7.
Some highly-awaited features that should appear in the next version of PageMaker include multiple documents on screen at the same time (finally!), an ink-based color model, the ability to rotate graphics (and presumably text) in small increments, and the ability to group objects, which would be excruciatingly helpful.

The review of uAccess is still in the works but I am making progress. In the meantime, I've thought of a good way to introduce you to one of uAccess's more impressive features while at the same time providing a useful service that can save us all time.
I've just finished setting up a fileserver in uAccess, which is a piece of cake to do with ICE Engineering's custom address command. Other custom address commands can autoReply to mail or autoForward mail to another electronic address. The fileserver address command is the most powerful one so far though. It's not up to the level of the LISTSERV software or even a Unix-based mailing list program, but it appears to work fine and is a breeze to configure and administrate, which I suspect is not true of the Unix systems.
Essentially then, all I had to do was create the files that I wanted to make available, format them for transmission through the Internet, and then make a record of them in the fileserver configuration dialog, adding a keyword and setting some options such as what to do with the request mail, keep it or trash it. There are currently five files available, although I can make more available at any time. These five files are:
help (for using the fileserver)
index (which lists all the available files)
guidelines (for writing articles and reviews for us)
info (general information about TidBITS)
locations (where you can find issues of TidBITS)
You can read the help and index files for more details, but if you wish to request a file from the fileserver, send email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the keyword (filename) as the only word in the Subject: line of your message. Other words in the Subject: line and the entire text of the message will be ignored, which means you can only request one file per message. Sorry.
One addition I would like to make to the fileserver soon is a list of bulletin boards and phone numbers where people can find TidBITS. So, if you know of any bulletin boards that carry TidBITS issues, please send me email telling me:
BBS name
BBS location
BBS phone number
BBS modem speeds if you know them
So for instance:
Memory Alpha
Ithaca, NY USA
12/24 (or if Mark has added a 9600 bps modem, 12/24/96)
I'm sure someone will ask, but I cannot make issues of TidBITS available on the fileserver because of the possible demand from thousands of people on the Internet. My site runs over a 2400 bips UUCP link that only connects three times per night and not at all during the day. There's no way the link could support that level of demand, though a dedicated phone line and a high speed modem might help significantly. In addition, because I don't have a dedicated line, you won't get a return file quite as quickly as you might like, although uAccess will process requests promptly. If you get a request in for the 1:00 am call, that file should go out in the 3:00 am call. If you hit the 7:00 am call, your file will have to wait until 1:00 am the next day to go out. Just so you realize what you're dealing with here... :-)
So if you wish to get any information that is contained in the above files, please use the fileserver rather than asking me personally. It will save us both time and is generally more efficient. However, if you have any suggestions for other files that I should include on the fileserver, please let me know.
Cheers ... -Adam

Man arrested after police say he swallowed crack at Salem stationBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
December 11. 2012 4:30PM
SALEM - A 39-year-old Londonderry man who was let out of handcuffs inside the Salem police station allegedly dove across a booking room, swallowed a bag of crack cocaine and fought with a police officer.
Daniel Brackesy is now facing several charges after nearly overdosing on the drug at a local hospital, police said. Brackesy was allegedly stopped by police for several traffic violations while driving along South Policy Street Friday at 2:05 p.m. His car had no front license plate or brake lights, police said.
Officer Robert Kirley found a small amount of crack cocaine and other drug paraphernalia inside Brackesy's car during the traffic stop, police said. Brackesy was taken into custody without incident and brought to the police department's booking room. Once he was uncuffed by police to be processed, Brackesy dove to a counter and grabbed the bag of crack and put it in his mouth, police said.
Kirley began fighting with Brackesy to prevent him from swallowing the bag, police said. Brackesy swallowed the crack and continued to struggle with the officer until being struck with a Taser, according to police. Brackesy was put back in handcuffs.
The Salem Fire Department responded to the booking room to treat a laceration to the back of Brackesy's head that he received from falling after being hit with the Taser, police said. He was then transported to Parkland Medical Center to be treated for the laceration and a possible drug overdose. While at the hospital, Brackesy started showing signs of overdose and was immediately put to sleep and given a charcoal cocktail to offset the drugs, police said. He was later released from the hospital and freed on $50,000 personal recognizance bail.
Brackesy was charged with possession of a controlled drug, possession of drugs in a motor vehicle, falsifying physical evidence, simple assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and various motor vehicle violations, police said.

Sexual combat anime Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero has yet again been proving that it is possible to sex up the sales even of anime which broadcast uncensored, with some especially salacious bathing action extras adding to the main feature.

I loved where this series was going. Plot wise it was obviously going to have a huge twist with Miu (the pretend younger sister), being his real actual younger sister who was summoned kidnapped/brainwashed to be dark lords daughter and/or during/after someone claims to be his real sister comes along giving the main character a huge dilemma. (Dilemma include I freaking kissed my sister like Luke Skywalker or what should I do with my real and pretend sister) It is quite rare to have such a strong lead protagonist, even more rare that he's a perv that can get away with it.
I for one hope they continue this show with oav or second season.
Main char >>>>>>>> every RITO metrosexual harem echii char.
Feminist love this show!
Megaton Punch 2X – Subverted
pic "20 21 22" kirito thats how you dual wield boy!!
"which broadcast uncensored"
And here I was waiting for the BDs…
The quality of the uncensored version is low. There is a point in waiting.
That fat chick? On MY Sankaku? Again?
pics 29 and 30 = Unison Tit Punch
Main Character not getting beaten up for this kind of thing?
We need more characters like him 😀
Best Protagonist of 2012 ? Could be…
Not him
He's cool, but Watashi is the best protagonist of 2012.
With so many of the posts talking about why somebody would watch this it's obvious to see we have a load of masochistic hypocrites around here. If the guy was left out of this the idiots would be raving about how amazing this show is. The sight of a guy not getting his ass kicked for doing perverted things is a foreign idea to them that feels them with disgust. Hypocrites ALL OF THEM!
Is that why i feel such a wetness in my panties!?
the problem is that akatsuki is always suddenly stronger than anyone in the damn series, everyone else is useless. We asked for a alpha male and this alpha male focuses on the boring pink and green girls, barely any izumi fanservice and one damn scene for yuzuha (fuck you ishihara, I hope you're raped to death by youth ordinance). This show had potential but it did everything wrong especially keeping yuzuha's damn clothes on.
No, even without the guy, this show is shit anyway
They should really put more budget into these disc extras. Same goes for Queen's Blade series.
FOR WHAT? To serve Satan and its army with more FAP shit? You sick really.
Wow a main character that doesn't actually get beat up by girls when he does some ecchi shit. I approve.
If you want your trolling to be taken seriously, you have to at least make an effort to speak proper English.
I approve too, I wanted to see something like this in a story someday if I didn't do it first in my own writing.
yeah!!! ahahah 😛 too many main char are slave 😉
Definitely different than your typical weak and nerdy guy and has to go through some character development. This guy was a badass right from the get go.
That's why he's shit and also why it is rated at the 50th place on the Top 50 Anime of 2012
Agreed, so majority of Japanese WANT to be losers who think girls will just randomly go to them? That sucks, at least this guy has some charm…
@Anon 01:02
When did I said that generic loser beta nerd = well written good character?
To all those idiots spurting things like loser beta nerd in fucking Sankaku I have a saying for you.
¨Pot,meet kettle¨
No, a generic loser beta nerd is only well written good character because they can become a bad ass later in the history.
Someoen that is badass in the beginning can become better, and a good history is all about character development
Yes because generic loser beta nerd = well written good character?
Yeah no, loser.
So THAT'S why some people like Akatsuki.
They self-insert themselves onto him so they can feel cool.
I guess the people who don't like him are the ones who don't do that, so they don't value a character being a "bad ass" over an actually well-written and good character.
Good stuff! Needs Moar Haruka though.
Bad shit cause it makes you FAP to demons!
Eh really??? We can fap to demon???? Can you tell me how???? I hope the devils are sexy…….
I really like the plot in this one.
This shit… again
How can anyone actually like this? Same with Btooom.
How can anybody watch this and be entertained?
Did you actually watch this series, or…. are you judging this based on some screenshots?

Senator Marco Rubio is Again Pressing for Immigration Reform
Tampa – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio is pressing for immigration reform, and his plan could bring big changes to Florida.
He wants to give all undocumented immigrants a process to step out of the shadows, and stay here legally if they play by the rules. Under his plan, they could pay a fine for not having documents, clear a background check, obtain a work permit, pay back-taxes, and apply to become permanent residents. From there, they may be able to also apply for citizenship.
For years, plans to reform our immigration system have failed. But this year may be different. President Obama will make immigration reform a top priority, and Congress is under pressure to respond.
"There's a deep unfairness, a deep injustice in the way our immigration policy works today," said Rev. Russell Meyer, a Lutheran pastor and executive director of the Florida Council of Churches. "Our policy for immigration in the United States really works to break up families rather than keep families intact. We find that detrimental to society and immoral based on our faith principles."
Rubio is testing the waters with his proposals he outlines over the weekend in the Wall Street Journal. But he will likely face strong resistance from conservatives in his own party who have resisted immigration reform.
There are an estimated 11 million undocumented people in the United States.
