You need a more or less recent version of mplayer. It should be a version of mplayer after the release of ffmpeg 0.5. Current repositories of current distributions should be able to deliver this. But be aware that not all of them provide an mencoder compiled to work properly with x264. If that's the case you may have to compile it yourself.
After that it's as "easy" as this command, once you've put it all together. I'll explain further below and post a sample script for the entire conversion. The result is extremely smoothly playing video files that look great.
This is the main part:
mencoder -demuxer lavf -sws 9 -fps 100 -vf yadif=1,mcdeint,softskip -ofps 50
The demuxer parameter works around mplayer's transport stream implementation, which does not work well with AVCHD files. It tells mplayer to trust ffmpeg's libavformat instead. This makes a huge difference for me. With this command I can play AVCHD files and transcode them in sync without problems and serious glitches.
The fps and yadif part was tricky. It creates 50 full progressive frames out of the 25 interlaced frames it gets from the camera. I had sync problems at first, but I found the solution somewhere in the mplayer mailing list I think. I'm not sure why you have to take twice the framerate of the AVCHD file, but only this way it works. Of course, if you camera is not PAL, you may have to change this to double your framerate. Otherwise I had the sound playing half as fast as the video with the consequence of constant frame skips and no sync at all.
Now let's put it all together into a little please-do-it-all-for-me script:
# High Quality Mencoder AVCHD Transcoding Script, (c) 2010 linux-tipps.blogspot.com, published under the GNU GPL v. 3.0
# Settings
CRF=26 # 18-26, the higher the smaller the resulting file, HD files can stand a higher than SD
FPS=50 # input fps of your file, "mplayer -demuxer lavf -identify" helps you with finding this
X264OPTS="" # add subq=6 frameref=6 for higher quality per bit but lower encoding rate.
# Preparation
INPUT="$1"; shift
OUT=$(basename "$INPUT"|sed 's/.m2ts//')"-x264.avi"
echo Mencoder Interlaced AVCHD to Progressive x264 Script, published under the GPL v. 3.0 \(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt\), check for the newest version of this script at http://linux-tipps.blogspot.com/2010/01/transcoding-50-fps-interlaced-avchd-to.html.
echo $0 Encoding $INPUT to $OUT using the following command line:
[ -f "$OUT" ] && echo File exists - aborting && exit 1;
# Encoding
mencoder="time nice mencoder -cache 8096 -demuxer lavf -sws 9 -fps $((FPS*2)) -vf yadif=1,mcdeint,softskip -ofps $FPS"
enc="$mencoder -ovc x264 -oac copy -x264encopts crf=$CRF:trellis=1:threads=0:ratetol=inf:frameref=2:bframes=2:8x8dct:ssim:psnr:$X264OPTS"
echo $enc -o "$OUT" "$INPUT" $*
$enc -o "$OUT" "$INPUT" $*
sh avchd-mencode 000001.m2ts # or for all m2ts file in the current directory:
for i in ./*.m2ts; do sh avchd-mencode "$i"; done;
Let me know how it worked for you! Or if you have an idea how to improve the script. Try skipping frame for frame with the "." button in mplayer. Be aware that the file size of the resulting video may easily be bigger than the input. That's because you're creating full frames out of half ones, and storing them takes more space.
Check out a Squirrel in HD slow motion produced with this script and then "mencoder -speed 0.5 -af scaletempo -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=ac3 -ovc copy" and uploaded in FullHD (but available only in 720p currently):

More info: colorado.edu/cwa
Ripped from the headlines.
The former president of Nova Datacom, a computer services and consulting company in Virginia, pleaded guilty in federal court this week for his role in paying more than $15 million in bribes for government contracts.
Last week, a former Goldman Sachs trader pleaded guilty to wire fraud, admitting that he caused Goldman to lose $118 million on a risky futures contract position he took.
Andrew Kassoy isn't surprised that corporate fraud and financial malfeasance continue to generate news today, but he said it doesn't mean there aren't plenty of captains of industry and chairs of the board trying to do things the ethical way.
"There's a global movement to redefine success in business," said Kassoy, who co-founded B Lab, a nonprofit organization that certifies companies that do more than just protect their bottom line. "What we're seeing now is a shift in people who want to invest in, buy from, work for or start up businesses that can use their power to solve social and environmental problems."
He compared the new business paradigm to the socially responsible investing movement that took off in the 1990s. Mission-driven organizations, like Boulder-based Namaste Solar, Patagonia, and Freelancers Insurance Company, are focusing on the impacts of their supply chains and the environmental effects of their products in addition to their profit margin, Kassoy said.
"They look at the interests of all the stakeholders, not just the shareholders," he said.
Kassoy, a Boulder native who worked in the financial industry for 16 years before launching B Lab, is one of four panelists who will lead the discussion "Truth, Lies and Corporate Ethics" at the Conference on World Affairs on Friday. The panel takes place at 11 a.m. at the UMC Center Ballroom.
He will be joined by Scott Flanders, CEO of Playboy Enterprises; Judith Morrison, senior adviser in the gender and diversity division at the Inter-American Development Bank; and Vivian Siegel, director of scientific education and public communications at the Broad Institute.
Siegel, a scientist, saw in her research the enormous pressure pharmaceutical companies come under when they are trying to bring a drug to market.
"Often times, these problems exist because of these huge investments of money it take to getting these things to market," she said.
Siegel said there needs to be vigilance on the inside of a corporation -- be it through an ombudsman or a whistleblower -- in addition to regulators on the outside.
In her ethics courses, she teaches her students that a decision about what is the proper direction to follow can come down to something as simple as a question corporate decision makers can pose to themselves.
"Would I be comfortable telling my mom I did this?" Siegel said.

Last week I had the pleasure of taking a tour through David and Dorit Nahmias' distillery in Yonkers, NY (video to follow). Nahmias et Fils produces a distinctive, delicious, fig based uniquely Jewish, Moroccan liqueur – Mahia – and an un-aged unique white whiskey produced from rye – Legs Diamond.
David Nahmias is fulfilling his lifelong dream of continuing in his family's footsteps; his father, his uncles, proud descendants from a long line of Moroccan tzaddikim and rabbanim produced Mahia in Morocco, their ancestral home. When Dorit lost her job as a banker, both she and her husband took it as a sign that they should establish the old family business right here in the US. The distillery has only been in production for just over 5 months and its products already appear in stores shelves in the New York area and in various California cities.
As you walk through their facility, while smelling the strong aroma of fermented figs, you feel immediately transported to Morocco, with authentic fabric covered low seats, with wall decorations that light up your imagination and give you visions of life in a more innocent, more beautiful, more hospitable setting, far from the hustle and bustle of New York.
Mahia is a liqueur made from figs and aniseed, it tasted just sweet enough without its sweetness being overpowering. It would go great as an accompaniment to a dessert, to a somewhat salty cheese or just by itself. Both SYR and I, found it delightful!
When I first saw the bottle of white, un-aged, un-oaked, white rye whiskey, I thought I'd be tasting something resembling a strong vodka. In any case, I thought (being used to aged single malt scotches) that the Legs Diamond would not only burn my throat, but probably even burn a hole as it worked its way down the pipes. I was pleasantly surprised when this whiskey made from mashed, fermented and carefully distilled grain, turned out to be incredibly smooth and left me with a hint of sweetness.
Nahmias et Fils will be coming out with more products soon, including aged whiskey, an apple based liqueur and more. If their first two offering are an example of their craft, I can't wait to sample whatever else they'll produce!

The Kings AGAIN blew MULTIPLE Great chances... They will need them to go thier way in game 6 to get the freight train back in the correct direction.

And the Kings missed plenty. They will turn it around... and even IF it somehow goes to go 7 then I still think that an 11-1 road team is not a problem. NJ was lucky to win today and they will be the first to admit it to (but only) themselves.
Game 6 will just be that much better when it ends in the Kings hoisting the Cup at home after a blowout win over the Swamp Scums.

Malloy eyes $1.5 billion investment in UConn
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Thursday proposed more than $1.5 billion in bonding and $137 million in general fund spending for the University of Connecticut.
"By targeting state resources to our flagship university we ensure that our young people have the skills they need to fill the jobs we are so aggressively pursuing," Malloy said in a press release. "Make no mistake, we are making Connecticut competitive again."
The university's Avery Point campus in Groton wasn't a direct beneficiary of Malloy's investment proposal, however.
"We are working on plans for Avery Point," Malloy said when asked about proposals to enhance that campus. "That is not in this particular proposal as such, although, you know, shared faculty and that sort of thing. Give me a little time; don't worry about it."
Investments in infrastructure, scholarships and faculty and student positions over the next 10 years are expected to attract $270 million in research dollars and $527 million in business activity, according to the release.
More than 4,000 permanent jobs and 30,000 construction jobs would also be created, Malloy said.
The $1.5 billion in bonding would be used for upgrades such as new science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) facilities, $450 million; new teaching and research labs for additional faculty and students, $205 million; and equipment for new faculty, $310 million.
The $137 million proposed for UConn from the state's general fund would be dedicated to growing total enrollment by 6,580 students and 259 faculty members at UConn's Storrs and Stamford campuses, according to the release.
The School of Engineering's enrollment would increase by 70 percent. The number of STEM graduates would increase by 47 percent. The school would offer 1,400 new, full scholarships for STEM students.
The governor said he is responding to a growing need for STEM jobs; jobs in these sectors have grown three times faster than in other sectors between 2002 and 2010, according to the release.
House Minority Leader Rep. Larry Cafero, R-Norwalk, said Thursday that the proposal was irresponsible because of the state's current budget deficit, future budget deficit and new priorities following the Dec. 14 school shooting in Sandy Hook.
He said the proposal should be called "UConn twilight zone because you got to be in a twilight zone to come up with this scheme at this time, and I am a UConn alum."
In a vacuum, the idea to grow the university and keep young people in the state is good, Cafero said. But moving forward in a fiscally irresponsible way "makes no sense," he said, adding that now was not the time to borrow more.
"What are we thinking, how are we going to pay for this, it is beyond comprehension," Cafero said.
Cafero said he would have liked to have had a say in the governor's latest proposal. It's not fair to promise the university this money, have them prepare for the money and then have to say, "We can't do it," he said.
But UConn professors seemed optimistic about the university's future in general and Avery Point specifically.
"Right now we are developing a plan to expand our engineering, both graduate and undergraduate, to Avery Point," said Kazem Kazerounian, interim dean and professor of mechanical engineering at UConn's School of Engineering.
There are currently no full-time engineering faculty members at Avery Point, but the campus is planning on adding two, he said.
About 60 to 70 graduate students at Avery Point currently take engineering courses broadcast from another campus, said Thomas Barber, professor in residence at the School of Engineering. These students are often employees of Electric Boat, Dominion and Zachry Holdings, Barber said.
There are also plans to start a 20-student undergraduate cohort at Avery Point in the fall, which would allow students to study engineering for two years and then transfer to the main campus in Storrs, Barber said. The goal is to make Avery Point a "major pipeline" to the engineering program at Storrs, Kazerounian said.
UConn President Susan Herbst said the possibilities for Avery Point were a little "locked in." There is the ocean on one side and property on the other, she said.
"So there is not that much space to expand, and you got to build on strength, too," Herbst said. The bulk of the faculty and machinery that scientists share are in other locations, she said.

Like many of his colleagues, James Jessie has seen the works by knit graffiti artist Streetcolor around Kensington.
These colorful, yarn-wrapped signposts along Colusa Circle, brighten up this quiet place, says Jessie, who works in this tiny Contra Costa County town.
"It's kind of fun," James says. "It's like a Berkeley kind of cool."
He pauses then asks: "What are they selling?"
Streetcolor, a name she goes by to avoid attention from the authorities, is selling nothing. She's "yarnbombing." She spends at least 12 hours a day spinning yarn, knitting pole cozies and has so far placed nearly 50 around Berkeley, Oakland and Kensington for others to enjoy.
"That's so complex to answer," she says during a phone interview. For starters, she says, she loves vessels and pieces of art that have a significant amount of color. She also likes huge sculpture, so having her knitted work stand tall on a large pole gives her some satisfaction.
She also likes that her art is free and immediate — people can experience her pieces while they walk to the coffee shop or stroll through Berkeley's theater district.
"Our culture is into being free and immediate," she says. "Once I put them up and I saw how the knitting looked against sidewalks and roads and signs, I thought it was amazing. It's thrilling."
Finally, she says, she was inspired to color up her environment — she lives in the East Bay — after reading the book "Yarnbombing: The Art of Crochet Knit Graffiti" (Arsenal Pulp Press, $19.95) by Mandy Moore and Leanne Prain.Prain, who lives in Vancouver, Canada, says a yarnbombing explosion began last year all over the world and is gaining steam in the United States.
"It's happening during the American recession," Prain says. "It's something you can do at home that's meditative. People are looking for something that gives a sense of joy right now, alternative ways to express themselves."
The motivations for knitters to do this painstaking and time consuming work are different for every person, Prain says.
"People knit for political reasons, street art reasons. But what we've found from all the groups we talked to is everybody is doing it out of a sense of joy," she says. "They feel happiness doing it, and they hope it brings a sense of happiness to other people."
Prain yarnbombs around Vancouver. She doesn't worry about what happens after she knits and places it in a public place.
"I've knit pieces that have been there for over and year and a half. People care take them," she says. "I've also knitted pieces that have been gone in a half-hour. The art of craftiness is making something and the rest is not important."
That's how Magda Sayeg of the yarnbombing group Knitta feels about her work. Sayeg is credited as being one of the first bombers and, although Knitta is now just herself rather than a group of people, the group's influence in this community is marked. For example, the "T" on the controversial "Herethere" sculpture on the Oakland/Berkeley border was covered with a yarnbomb last April. Although a nearby knitting store participated in the bombing, it was credited to Sayeg's Knitta group.
Sayeg, who now lives in Austin, Texas , started yarnbombing after knitting a piece for the doorknob of her small fashion boutique. Since then, making yarnbomb sculptures has become a full-time job, one that has brought her work to galleries in Rome, London and Bali.
"I like to beautify things," she says. "I like to put knitting on things that are ugly. To have this sweet universal language of knitting that's going on, I think it's incredibly powerful."
Streetcolor, who works with a helper she's named The Russian, has seen just a handful of her pieces taken down since she started this project about two months ago. And she no longer puts the pieces up in the dead of night. Instead, she decorates poles during the day, pausing to talk with people who ask questions. She likens it to street theater.
"The interaction is a big part of it," she says.
Streetcolor says she feels like she is turning graffiti on it's head.
"It's only going to be up for a while, and I think it enhances the area," she says. "It's just this momentary experience of it being more fun to be there."

Cincinnati football coach Butch Jones visited the University of Colorado on Monday to interview for the school's vacant head coaching job and a game of hide and seek with reporters ensued.
Despite that aspect of the trip, sources said the visit went well and Jones is now mulling an offer to become the 25th full-time head football coach in school history. He has been offered a five-year contract that would pay him more than $2.5 million annually.
Late in the afternoon with Jones still in the Dal Ward Center, CU athletic director Mike Bohn walked by a group of reporters. He was asked for a comment.
"It has been a productive day," Bohn said.
Jones' Mile High adventure began at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport Monday morning in Broomfield when he and his wife, Barb, arrived on a private plane paid for by a CU booster. Jones had been photographed getting off a Purdue University plane Sunday in West Lafayete, Ind., to interview for the head football coaching job there.
Sources said Jones was not happy about being photographed at Purdue and that led Colorado officials to do their best to keep him out of sight during his Boulder trip.
CU officials arranged for the plane to taxi to an alternate part of the airport where Jones could disembark without being photographed. He and his wife were picked up in an SUV by Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn.
A 9News crew leaving the airport after the plane arrived spotted Bohn driving the SUV and followed it, preventing Bohn from taking the Joneses to the overlook on Highway 36 where they could get a view of the town, the Flatirons and the snow-covered peaks in the background.
The Joneses' first stop was Chancellor Phil DiStefano's residence. After a short stay there and look at parts of the campus, Jones was taken to the club and suite levels of Folsom Field where he and his agent, Trace Armstrong, met and ate lunch with Bohn, DiStefano, CU President Bruce Benson and a handful of athletic department staffers, including senior women's administrator Ceal Barry.
Benson returned from a trip to Mexico a day early to be a part of the meeting.
The group spent much of the afternoon in the suites discussing the beleaguered football program that went 1-11 this season under former coach Jon Embree.
Sources said CU officials talked at length with Jones about their plans for facilities expansion in and around Folsom Field. Those plans include spending between $175 and $220 million on a permanent indoor practice facility, expansion of the Dal Ward Center, enclosing the north end of the stadium and adding seats, suites and a new press box on the west side.
The practice facility and the expansion of Dal Ward are the priorities if only part of the funding becomes available. The rest would be done later as more money is raised
While CU officials hosted Jones in the suites, media gathered by the exits below. CU administrators left around 4:30 p.m. in an effort to distract attention from Jones who was ushered down a separate walkway.
Workers hid Jones behind a food warmer at one point walking him into the stadium where he could walk down the stadium steps and into the lower level of the Dal Ward Center without coming into contact with reporters.
Jones toured the Buffs' locker room, weight room and coaches' offices. He also met briefly with four players who had been chosen to represent the team. A source said hose players were offensive lineman David Bakhtiari, wide receivers Paul Richardson and Tyler McCulloch and quarterback Shane Dillon.
While Jones spent the day on campus, Barb Jones was hosted by Kim Bohn and Yvonne DiStefano, the wives of the CU athletic director and chancellor. They toured Boulder, giving the coach's wife a look at several local schools. The Joneses have three children.
Jones flew back to Cincinnati in the evening after extending his stay by two hours. His agent has said Jones will make a decision about where he coaches by Tuesday. If he decides to accept the CU job, he would be announced as the next head coach at press conference on campus later this week.
Cincinnati officials are reportedly prepared to renegotiate Jones' contract there in an effort to keep him with the Bearcats. He earned $1.57 million this season and will earn $1.6 million next season under the current terms of his deal.
Jones has become one of the most sought after coaches in the nation the past two years. CU is the third school Jones has talked with this year about a coaching vacancy.
Jones was previously the head coach at Central Michigan where he went 27-13 in three seasons. He inherited that job from current Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly. Jones has gone 23-14 in three seasons at Cincinnati, a job he also inherited from Kelly.
Jones has never been asked to rebuild a program as a head coach. His ability to do so is one of several questions CU fans have about him as a candidate for the job. Jones, a Michigan native, also has spent his entire career coaching in the Midwest and the East Coast and doesn't have a strong history recruiting Texas and California, two states that have historically proven to be vital in building successful teams in Boulder.

I've noticed that most people here are pulling for the Falcons next week. I'm rooting for the 49ers for a few reasons:
#1: There is a well established trend of Superbowl winners declining the next season. Maybe it's purely psychological, I don't know. But teams tend to let down the next season after they win it. Even the exceptions (2011 Green Bay and 2008 Giants) had quick exits in the postseason.
#2: There is an even more established trend of Superbowl losers declining the next season. An astonishingly high number of Superbowl losers missed the playoffs the next season.
#3: They would have a slightly lower draft pick. You never know, sometimes a couple spots in the draft can a huge difference. I'm still getting over Cameron Jordan / James Carpenter in 2011. SF picked 30th last year and had a terrible draft.
#4: It ratchets up the SF-SEA rivalry to a new high next season.
#5: SF is representing our division. One way to get respect is if people respect the NFC West more.
Sure, Harbaugh is a douche, but I don't really care who wins. I just want whatever situation benefits the Seahawks the most, and I think that SF winning does that. Anything, no matter how small, that helps Seattle's division chances next year is worth rooting for, I think.
Anyway, I'm sure 90% of you will disagree, but those are my

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Maybe you've heard of the "freshman 15." That's the average amount of weight first-year college students are predicted to gain during their first year away from mom and dad's healthy cooking. Then there's the "Freshman $15,000" -- the amount of debt accrued by a college freshman who isn't careful about how they're spending money and saving for the last three years of college -- and after. Granted, $15,000 isn't a hard and fast number. In fact, it could be less, but there's no question toxic financial attitudes about money can lead to "risky financial behaviors" among the first year college set. That's the conclusion of a study by Higher One, a Washington, D.C., college and university technology services company. The report, Money Matters on Campus: How Early Attitudes and Behaviors Affect the Financial Decisions of First-Year College Students, surveyed 40,000 college students on their attitudes about savings, debt and spending once they set foot on campus. The big takeaway is this: First-year students are unprepared for handling their own finances away from home, and there is a "strong" connection between accumulating heavy debt during freshman year and not having a bank account.
Financial mistakes made in the early years of college can hang around, and worsen, as the student graduates and heads out into the real word. That "hangover," the Higher One study says, can lead to an "increased risk of negative financially related outcomes" later in life. While the report doesn't call out parents for not teaching their kids good money habits, it does brush aside any role mom and dad might have once their kids leave for college. The study calls for more pervasive and powerful financial literacy programs on campus for college freshmen. "This report sounds the alarm that institutions must augment current financial literacy education," says Mary Johnson, director of financial literacy and student aid policy at Higher One. "We need to ensure students entering into college are given the right financial literacy education, tools and support to make sound financial decisions while in college and beyond." Above all, college financial literacy programs need to take into account a student's "attitudes, motivation and behaviors" in teaching them better money habits, the paper states. "Colleges and universities -- especially those enrolling greater numbers of first-generation students than ever before -- have an obligation to improve financial literacy and increase positive financial outcomes for our students," says Steven Bahls, president of Augustana College in Illinois. "As leaders concerned with transparency, accountability and access, our primary and time-honored concerns are to educate the whole person, which must include students' financial health." The study notes that 79% of first-year college students worry about debt, and another 28% come to college carrying credit cards -- an alarming number, the report says. The good news is that 86% of college freshman do have a bank account, and most interact with their banks several times per month. For parents and young college students, the Higher One report is worth a look. Apparently, an ounce of prevention now can prevent a pound of problems later. And that goes way beyond the traditional "Freshman 15."

Posted on November 26, 2012
Tough to lose two mentors in a six month period.
So about a generation ago, I was in town to apartment-sit for my aunt, as I often did. And as she was running through the usual list of reminders—where the emergency phone numbers were, etc.—when she said, a propos of nothing, "Do you know where the Newberry Library is?"
I had done some research there, so I said, "Yes."
"Well, they're starting up a book fair for this summer. Do you think you'd like to sort books? They do it Tuesday and Thursday afternoons."
I had actually planned to do other mad, crazy things in the big city, so I said "No."
"Well," she said, "I already told them you would."
It was about ten years after that, ten Book Fairs later, that she noted that she was getting tired of working full-time running a Book Fair, and had so notified the Vice President for Development. "I told her to hire somebody," she told me. "But I didn't know whether or not you wanted the job."
I said I didn't know, either.
Ever after, she worked the Book Fair, coming in five half days a week to price until an inexplicable form of vertigo made her give it up around 2004. Even then, she came to work the Dredge and the July Book Fair, smiling money out of people's pockets, until a more serious vertigo and another unexplained problem hit her in June. If you missed her this summer, that's why.
In early November, she suffered an unexplained seizure, and shortly after that an unexplained swelling of tongue and throat which made breathing difficult and swallowing impossible. After four days of that, she was still ready to put on her shoes and come join us for a hot fudge sundae, if only all those IVs hadn't been in the way.
Evelyn J. Lampe died on Thanksgiving Eve, after more than thirty years of trying to push Chicago culture in the direction of more books, more music, and more hot fudge. If they had had time to solve some of the mysteries of why her brain was misfiring, she might well have put in another decade.
"Nice 'em to death," was her advice for dealing with troublesome customers. Her attitude to pricing was "Well, it'll be half-price on Sunday". She decreed that the price of a book should be on the first white page inside, she set up many of the original categories, and she smiled a number of reluctant curators and administrators into admitting a second and then a third Book Fair might be a good idea. We've missed her as her role at the Book Fair shrank, but we shall go on…missing her.
Now ease in a bit closer, French-fried flan. I'm going to whisper so the adults can't hear. If there was one thing Evelyn enjoyed almost as much as hot fudge sundaes, it was subversion, and what I am going to say is subversive. Over the years (27 of them) people asked Evelyn what sort of memorial she wanted at the Newberry to mark her time there.
"Oh," she said, "Just put a plaque up on the loading dock that says 'Lampe Landing'." People laughed, but it was her answer every time they brought up the question.
Now, the cost of the plaque is nothing, or next to it: a little metal thing with four screws, nothing that has neon lights or sound effects. But it's a bit of an unusual idea, and some would find it difficult to swallow. Money is helpful in making medicine go down, but I don't believe you could bribe anybody around here enough to change their tastes in these matters.
So I don't want you to try to buy a spot on the loading dock wall or force a plaque down anybody's throat. What I suggest is that those of you who were planning a year-end donation to the Newberry increase the gift by, oh ten percent or fifty bucks or whatever feels right, and just add a note "I'm interested in Lampe Landing". Make sure it's an increase: they have records on these things and an increased gift always attracts attention. If you've never made a gift before, they'll know that when you send in the note, too. Such things WILL make a difference. Even if the plaque idea doesn't go through, the money could help catalog her collection of Edward Gorey items that are going into the collection, or buy hot fudge sundaes for the volunteers come July.
And if you don't care to send in cash right now, in any case, go out and eat a hot fudge sundae for Evelyn. And in her honor, raise your spoon and say "Hey, where's the cherry?"

She was ejected from Jeep as was passenger, who survived
The Taft woman killed in a single-vehicle accident north of Taft early Sunday was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected when the Jeep Cherokee she was driving overturned, the California Highway Patrol said in a news release.
A passenger was also ejected but survived.
Jamie Renee Tweedy, 23, was pronounced dead at the scene of the 12:15 a.m. crash off Elk Hills Road south of the California Aqueduct near Buttownwillow, the CHP and Kern County Coroner said.
Her passenger, Tevis Stephens, 24, who lives in Buttonwillow, the CHP said, was not wearing a seatbelt either and was also thrown from the Jeep.
His injuries were described as moderate by the CHP.
He was flown to Kern Medical Center by air ambulance.
The CHP said the crash happened when Tweedy's jeep drifted off the roadway and she lost control.
She was driving north on Elk Hills road just north of Skyline Road.
Alcohol or drugs is not believed to be a factor in the crash.
The investigation is continuing.

Kitchener [16], with neighbouring Waterloo and Cambridge forms a tightly-integrated metro area within the larger Region of Waterloo [17] in Southwestern Ontario.
Kitchener and Waterloo were pioneered by Mennonites from Pennsylvania, Cambridge by British, principally Scots, in the early 19th century. Once named Berlin, Kitchener was re-named in 1916, during World War I, after British military hero Lord Kitchener. Since the 1950's when Waterloo attained city status, Kitchener and Waterloo have been known as the "Twin Cities", "K-W", or "Kitchener-Waterloo". Increasingly, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge (a 1970s merger of the older City of Galt with the neighbouring Towns of Preston and Hespeler, and the village of Blair) are being referred to collectively as the "Tri-Cities".
Immigration, beginning with Germans and Central Europeans in the 19th century and continuing to the present from Central and South America, the Near East, Far East and Asia have created a broad-based multi-cultural population. Kitchener and Waterloo, in 'North Waterloo' exhibit a strong German heritage, celebrated most notably in their 9-day Oktoberfest, [18] the largest outside of Munich. Cambridge, in 'South Waterloo', has a sizeable Portuguese population, from the Azores, and a large constituency of Newfoundlanders, relocated from Belle Isle, Newfoundland, in the 1960s.
Get in
By car
Highway 401 runs along Kitchener's southern border. Kitchener is located one hour west of Toronto, one hour east of London, three hours east of Windsor/Detroit. If coming from Toronto, take exit 278A (Highway 8). At the Highway 7 and King Street exit, exit King Street to downtown Kitchener. If coming from London, take exit 278 (King Street), then take Highway 8 east to the King Street exit as above.
By air
Waterloo Region International Airport [19] is served by WestJet [20] with one flight a day to Calgary, Bearskin Airlines [21] with three flights each business day to Ottawa and Montreal and Sunwing Airlines [22] with one flight per week to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, during the winter months. Most air travel to Kitchener comes through Toronto Pearson International Airport [23] in the north-west corner of Toronto. Ground transportation between Kitchener and Pearson is operated by Airways Transit [24] who operate door-to-door services as well as scheduled minibus services from several large hotels in Kitchener, Airways Transit services are, however, prohibitively expensive, to the point that a taxi is significantly cheaper for two or more people. Another, much cheaper option for people travelling alone is to take the Greyhound coach to downtown Toronto and then take the Pacific Western [25] airport coach to the airport, however this can take significantly longer depending on traffic.
By rail
VIA Rail [26] runs between Kitchener and Toronto, Guelph, London, and Sarnia; the train station is located at 126 Weber St. W, near the corner of Victoria St. in the northeast corner of downtown. Via runs three trains a day in each direction.
By coach
Greyhound [27] runs regular commuter coaches between downtown Kitchener and Toronto, stopping on the site of the former Sportsworld amusement park on the border of Kitchener and Cambridge, some coaches to Toronto also run to the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo. Greyhound also runs coaches to London and Guelph. Coach Canada runs regular coaches from Kitchener to Hamilton and Niagara Falls. The bus terminal in Kitchener is located in the centre of downtown, one block from city hall, on Charles Street, between Ontario and Gaukel Streets, however the main terminal for Greyhound is a temporary inflatable structure on the Sportsworld Drive site, tickets can be bought at that location or outside on the platforms of the downtown site, parcels can only be picked up or deposited at Sportsworld.
Get around
By car
By car, with a local map: where other cities are laid out more or less on a grid Kitchener streets are not, rather follow their own complex patterns with frequent twists and turns, many continuing into adjoining Waterloo.
Likewise, street directions are designated E, W, N, and S, but only one major cross street, Lancaster Street East/West, is true to the compass (running, oddly enough, straight north/south). King, Weber and Westmount are the principal EW streets in Kitchener (at Union Street, they become King, Weber and Westmount in Waterloo, where they are designated N/S). Queen, Frederick, Ottawa and Victoria, are the principal NS cross-streets.
There is a an express route, known locally as the Conestoga Parkway, but not signed as such, which loops traffic on Highways 7&8 traffic through Kitchener South and Highway 85 traffic through Waterloo North.
Addresses number EW from Queen, NS from King.
The centre of the city, known as downtown, is divided into four neighborhoods:
By public transportation
All public transit within the Region of Waterloo is provided by Grand River Transit.
Kitchener as a whole has a poor (though improving) public transit system, although most centrally located sights can be reached without much difficulty. The route 7 bus is the city's main line and comes every 7 - 10 minutes. The 7 can be taken from almost anywhere on King St. south of the intersection of King and University Ave. in Waterloo. Something that can be confusing is that there are three different 7 routes, the 7c, 7d, 7e; they all run the same route until the intersection of King and University, the 7c runs to Conestoga Mall at the north end of Waterloo, the 7d travels to the University of Waterloo through the most direct route, along University and the 7e runs to the University of Waterloo along Columbia, on the north end of the campus. To the south, all 7s run to Fairview Park Mall, no matter the letter.
There is also an Express service between Waterloo, Kitchener and Cambridge known as the iXpress. It runs a similar route to that of the 7, beginning at Conestoga Mall and stopping at the University of Waterloo, Uptown Waterloo, Downtown Kitchener, Fairview Park Mall, Cambridge Centre Mall and Downtown Galt among other places.
The bus fare is $2.50 which allows for travel for up to 90 minutes, if you intend to connect to another route, ask the driver for transfer when you pay your fare. A detailed map of all routes in Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge can be purchased at a variety of locations for $2 or downloaded for free from Grand River Transit. Students of University of Waterloo and/or Wilfrid Laurier University do not need to pay cash fare if they flash their University-issued Student ID (WatCard for University of Waterloo; OneCard for Wilfrid Laurier) as long as the expiry date on the card has not elapsed. These students have already paid for bus services through non-refundable fees on their fees statement.
Cultural Items
Historical sites
The German Clubs
All the German clubs serve food but not all of them have restaurants. Call before you go.
See Nightlife, the weekly entertainment supplement published Thursdays by The Record, the area's daily newspaper, for its calendar of what's on in clubs, concerts, movies, stage, art, and kids stuff.
Get out
Kitchener is one of three cities in Waterloo Region. Visit Waterloo to the north or Cambridge to the south. It is also a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside, the towns of New Hamburg, St. Jacobs and Elora are all within easy driving distance.

Fortnite may use always-on online DRM akin to Diablo III's, reports Rock, Paper, Shotgun based on an interview with Tanya Jessen, producer on Epic's upcoming Minecraft-style game. "It's gonna be really dependent on gameplay, and it's also dependent on platform – the method of getting updates and stuff like that. So I can't say for sure today one way or another [whether or not we're going to use it]," she tells them. "Fortnite is a game that's being developed as a co-op experience primarily. That's our number one focus. This is a game you're gonna want to play with your friends, and it's most fun with your friends. So whatever we decide to do there is gonna be more relevant to the most fun experience you can have with your friends [than it is to piracy]. But I can't nail that down today." All that said about co-op, she does add that: "Single-player's absolutely gonna be super fun."
