Friendly neighbors, thriving school districts, low crime rates and location might be on most American's checklists when they're house hunting. But many residents in Kent County, Michigan, cannot afford to be this selective. Improving the quality of life — physically and spiritually — of his Kent County neighbors is the goal of Cedarville University Master of Science in Nursing global public health nursing student Gary Osantowski.
Osantowski is a full-time recovery room nurse at Spectrum Health Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but he considers nursing his second career. Last fall, he found his calling as a part-time intern at Kent County Health Department (KCHD), where he advances health equity and social justice throughout the county. Now, Osantowski is not only serving hospital patients, but underrepresented minorities in his community.
According to the KCHD, health equity means all people have equal opportunities to thrive in their health, regardless of race, class, gender or other social conditions. Osantowski is working with the KCHD to foster that kind of environment in the Kent community, where a large number of underprivileged minority groups lack health equity.
While working at the hospital, Osantowski discovered the internship during a Health Equity Social Justice Dialogue Workshop held at the KCHD. It was through this experience that he felt God leading him in a new direction.
"I went to that workshop, and it really opened my eyes to the issue of racism. It blew me away and really opened my heart to the point of feeling and seeing issues from a different perspective," said Osantowski.
After applying for and receiving the internship position, Osantowski began pursuing his new calling with vigor, while continuing his work at the hospital.
At the KCHD, Osantowski researches the racial disparities in the community, such as affordable housing, transportation and job security and measures the effectiveness of the department's efforts to eliminate inequality.
In addition to this internship, he and his wife, Lynn, participated in a church plant inside a primarily Hispanic inner-city neighborhood in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This allows the couple to "meet people right where they're at" and more effectively reach the underrepresented Hispanic population with the gospel. Gary Osantowski has served in a soccer ministry and Lynn Osantowski tutors children learning to read.
According to Osantowski, the Grand Rapids community "has the highest population density of children in Kent County, but it also has the highest poverty rate." By living in this community, working to create health equity in Kent County and worshiping alongside his neighbors, Gary hopes to share a complete picture of the gospel in his life.
"I came out of a very broken upbringing, so I understand what it is to be broken and what it is to find wholeness in Christ. I really believe that part of the answer for these people's individual journeys is a relationship with God that will really restore them," said Osantowski.


VMware vSphere 6.5 Update 1 has been released on July 27, 2017 with several bug fix, some improvements, but also some interesting changing in maximum numbers (for vCenter in linked-mode) and an interesting news for the Foundation edition that now can manage up to 4 nodes (and not only 3 nodes like in the past).
Seems a minor improvement, but demostrare how VMware takes care of its customers. In discussions with customers with smaller environments, VMware has received feedback that 3 host environments were too small in many cases, and just another hosts could be enough (of course still for SMB enviroments). This is why with vSphere 6.5 Update 1 VMware is now increasing the number of hosts that vCenter Server Foundation will support from 3 host to 4.
Scale out instead of scale in: will make sense have more hosts (maybe with single processor) instead of few?
And a vSAN stretched cluster could be possible? Seems crazy, and out of the scope of SMB, also because you need ESXi with Enterprise Plus, but those can be managed by a Foundation license. The issue is the witness, you need a 3rd site with the witness, and it but could stay on a free hypervisor or on a cloud resourse, but how you can manage it if you already have 4 connected nodes, and to set up the stretched cluster you need also the witness inside the SAME vCenter.
Note that the Essential edition of vCenter remain still limited to only 3 nodes, and that ESXi Essential or Essential Plus can only be managed by vCenter Essential (this limitation has become also a technical limitation starting with vSphere 5.x).

Watchdogging Toxins that Migrate from Los Alamos National Labs (LANL)
Communities for Clean Water monitors and informs the public about the presence of toxic discharges in the regional drinking water aquifer and surface waters such as rivers and acequias within the Rio Grande watershed. Toxins that we monitor include PCBs, chromium, heavy metals, radionuclides, and perchlorates. Through analyzing the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) and LANL's own data, as well as through independent scientific testing, we have documented that toxic waste from LANL dump sites quickly moves through surface water and groundwater and to other waterways, including the Rio Grande.
We've detected toxins in community waters at levels that present a significant risk to human health. We monitor the levels of toxins exiting the canyons surrounding LANL, as we advocate for better environmental health and safety measures and cleanup at the Lab.
Legal Action & Public Policy to Protect Community Waters
In 2008, we successfully settled a Clean Water Act citizen lawsuit against the US Department of Energy for violations at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). This victory resulted in the EPA mandating a stringent stormwater permit that requires LANL to clean up over 400 of their dirtiest dump sites.
We continue to use legal action, supported by scientific evidence, in order to:
Enforce current pollution controls and hold LANL accountable to environmental and health and safety standards;
Pursue new regulatory avenues that will strengthen the protection of public health and that will spur the containment and cleanup of toxic discharges at LANL;
Strengthen EPA restrictions on toxic discharges at LANL;
Demand that the US Department of Energy and Congress budget and fund comprehensive cleanup at LANL. While some of the 2,100 dumps have been addressed, full cleanup of more than 1,260 dump sites remains under-funded and under-prioritized.
Encourage LANL to utilize their unique position to research, implement, and assess Low Impact Development (LID) and Green Infrastructure(GI) techniques – techniques that maintain and restore the natural hydrologic character of a development site, reduce off-site runoff, improve water quality, and provide groundwater recharge for controlling stormwater pollution in an arid climate.
Coalition Building & Public Awareness Creation
As a cooperative coalition, CCW amplifies the voices of the diverse, multicultural communities impacted by LANL. We aim to become the "vocal majority" and hold local, state, and federal regulators accountable to their responsibility to provide clean water and protect the health and well-being of communities.
Many people living in the Rio Grande watershed don't realize their water is being impacted by LANL toxic waste. We raise public awareness and open dialogues with diverse communities and organizations, in order to strengthen the grassroots movement for safe, clean water.
Interested in joining the movement? Here's how.
Preparing Youth to Become Leaders of Change
We believe in safe, clean water for communities today and for future generations. A priority is preparing future leaders with the skills and resources to affect change.
The CCW Youth Council is a self-governed youth organization that enables young people to become community leaders for clean water. We provide the Youth Council with mentorship and financial and technical support.
Youth Council members engage their peers, as well as the larger community, in a dialogue about LANL-related water impacts. By participating in the Youth Council, young people strengthen their personal connection to water and grow empathy for all who depend on this life-giving resource. Through site visits, public presentations, the arts, and educational activities, they are building leadership skills and ecoliteracy–a sense of deep responsibility for the well-being of communities and the planet.

Arca Noae progress report
PMShell	1 411 06.13 11:58
70 https://www.arcanoae.com/arca-noae-progress-report/
Work continues at a furious pace behind the scenes at Arca Noae! Sometimes, a lot of work is needed before any highly visible releases are done, so we thought it might be a good idea to provide periodic progress reports so everyone can see just how much work is being done. Here's the first in the series.
Work is continuing on Panorama. There have been improvements in monitor detection. Our developers and dedicated beta testers discovered some issues on some systems with different EDID types. Other changes to the Panorama PMI have improved compatibility with more systems. Watch for a new release in the near future, and of course, in the upcoming ArcaOS 5.0.4.
The ACPI project continues to get improvements. In addition to the regular updates for ACPICA, there has been work needed to fix some minor issues, increasing compatibility over a wider range of systems.
The AHCI driver received some improvements to help protect non-MBR disks from accidental damage.
A lot of progress has been made on USB3. We now have a driver that mostly works but still needs further refining before it is ready for alpha testing.
Kernel and boot environment
Work has recently begun to investigate booting of ArcaOS on UEFI-based systems without a vendor-supplied Compatibility Support Module (CSM). Watch for further updates on this project. Early indications are very positive for this critical component, necessary to support the latest generation of hardware.
ArcaOS 5.0.4
A lot of work has gone into getting the next release of ArcaOS ready. Our next progress update will focus on this, but the biggest news to share is that thanks to our new Update Facility, bringing any version of ArcaOS 5.0 up to date will be a snap: no more reformatting and reinstalling! Instead, just boot from the installation disc, ISO, or USB flash drive, select the ArcaOS installation to be updated, and allow the process to complete.
A lot of work has gone into Installer fixes and improvements, too. For new installations, the process has never been easier or more trouble-free.
Outside development
Most of our developers also do their own things, away from ArcaOS. Most of these projects find their way into ArcaOS or into the Arca Noae software repositories in some form or fashion. Here are a couple of notable things seeing active development.
Several years ago, Alex Taylor, our Chief UI Architect, began work on a replacement utility for the graphical LVM (Logical Volume Manager) Java applet. Alex has recently returned to that work, and the latest beta is looking promising for inclusion in ArcaOS 5.1.
Alex has also spent some time working on not only the ConfigApps utility which associates various internet applications with the Workplace Shell, and has contributed some new work for NewView, the help and INF viewer. Source code for both of these may be viewed and checked out of the Netlabs NewView projectrepository.
Consulting and development for commercial clients
We have spent a lot of time in recent months working on some custom projects for commercial clients. Not only does this work help fund ongoing development for many of the projects mentioned above, but many new things come out of this work to benefit all users of the platform.
Ongoing subscription service and support
We work tirelessly to provide professional, courteous, and knowledgeable technical support for the software we produce and distribute. Sometimes, this support uncovers bugs which we work quickly to address, other times, we find that documentation could be improved, and in some cases, we discover hardware which may require some software modification to support (or which we may determine to be unsuitable for ArcaOS). We offer two levels of support: personal and commercial, where commercial subscribers receive priority attention. Still, we do our best to see that everyone's needs are addressed.
As a reminder, when considering opening a new trouble ticket, it's a good idea to re-read our ticket guidelinesand Best Practices page, and be sure to search for similar issues in our bug tracker. If a ticket is indeed necessary, we generally will require a TestLog log file, so be sure to follow the directions here to get the latest TestLog build, first. You may attach a log file at the time of opening the ticket, saving time in the process.

"Every day I'm not directing, I feel like I die a little" – Alexander Payne:
After a period largely producing-writing other people's projects, the filmmaker sets his sights on his next feature
Published in a 2006 issue of The Reader (www.thereader.com)
Appearing calmer than he did in 2005, when still in the exhausting grip of Sideways mania and the fallout of his divorce from Sandra Oh, a relaxed Alexander Payne was back in Omaha the past couple weeks, eager to resume work. For those curious about what's he been up to since Sideways, he answers, "I got busy." It's why he's been out of touch so long. "It's not just a line, I've been busy," he reiterates. True enough, but aside from a short film project he did in Paris he's largely been embroiled in work not his own. And that drives him crazy.
He's helped produce two feature films out this year. The Savages stars Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney. The King of California stars Michael Douglas and Evan Rachel Wood. Payne's a close friend of the filmmakers. He's an executive producer on Savages, written-directed by Tamara Jenkins (The Slums of Beverly Hills), the wife of Payne's writing partner Jim Taylor. He's a full producer on King, whose writer-director Michael Cahill was a film school buddy of Payne's at UCLA.
Payne's been collaborating on the script of Taylor's first directing job, The Lost Cause. The pair also did a rewrite on I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry before Adam Sandler signed on opposite Kevin James and "brought in his own people" to, as Payne put it, "Sandlerize it and, quite frankly, dumb it up."
The real news is the Omaha native has finally fixed on what his next film will be and it turns out it'll bring him back home, perhaps by the fall of 2008. He won't say much else other than he and Taylor are well along on the script, a first draft of which they hope to complete this year. The idea for it is one he's kicked around a while but it was only last year he "began to think of it in a new way" that made it click. In the past he's referred to the concept as a vehicle for expressing his dismay and disgust with American attitudes and policies. He won't go as far to call it politically charged, but he gives the impression it will be a pointed satire.
"All I know is I hope it will be funny," he said in what's become his stock answer to queries about his works in progress. "The only thing I'll tell you is what's new about it for Jim and me is it has a little bit of a science fiction premise, which functions more as a metaphor than a…anyway, that's all," he said, catching himself in mid-teaser lest he reveal too much of the still fragile script.
Also new is that "Omaha figures a lot in this one," he said. "As we have it currently configured about a third of the film would shoot here, but it's a much longer film than any I've made before, so even a third of the film is a good hunk." He would never consider covering Omaha somewhere else. "I believe in place," he said.
Payne's growing place in the industry, which avidly awaits his next film, was made tangible a couple years ago when he, Taylor and producer Jim Burke formed the production-development company Ad Hominem. In the process they struck a first-look deal with Fox Searchlight Pictures that gives the studio first dibs on any projects the filmmakers develop. A producer on Election, Burke was brought in to manage the Santa Monica-officed Hominem's small staff. Taylor also has a support person in New York, where he lives. Fox Searchlight did such a good job handling Sideways that Payne inked the studio pact, a move he'd avoided doing until now.
"We'd been talking about it for a while," Payne said, "but it wasn't until after Sideways we decided to take the possibility more seriously. Actually, Jim (Taylor) is the one who kind of spearheaded it. I've never wanted to have one of these deals before because you never know whom you're dealing with exactly and I've never had as harmonious a filmmaking experience as I had with Sideways and Fox Searchlight. We'd be happy to make another movie with them. They were great. Jim really thought it (the deal) would be a good idea and he was right.
"A first look deal is where a studio just kind of pays for some overhead and you have people working for you in an office and in exchange they (Fox) get first right of negotiation…first crack at anything we do. It doesn't necessarily mean they're going to make it, but they get a short window of time in which to decide if they want to do it and, if not, it's in effect a free ball. And it just kind of formalizes good will and relationship between filmmakers and studio. Besides..the company allows Jim and me to have extra eyes and ears out there reading books or accepting scripts, taking phone calls. Otherwise, we're doing it all ourselves and not getting our work done. It's just sort of there to facilitate us."
Hominem serves another purpose, one taking more and more of Payne's time, namely to help nudge friends' projects from limbo to realization. He said the company gives he and Taylor a framework to "on a very selective basis help, enable or foster…those films getting made. And we've done one so far, Tamara Jenkins' The Savages…She was having a very hard time getting that film off the ground, even with the wonderful cast of Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman. So, finally our agreeing to come on as executive producers helped it reach the tipping point to getting it made."
He said the resulting film, shot mainly in New York and a bit in Sun City, Az., is "ultimately funny and sad and real. Great performances. They're very human."
Sporting a Hydra-head of overflowing locks, Payne broke his long silence to sit down for an exclusive interview with The Reader at M's Pub in the Old Market. It felt like catching up with someone returned from an odyssey. That's how removed he's been from the media these past several months. It's not that he disappeared in the wake of Sideways, the little picture that blew up bigger than anyone expected and deservedly won Payne and Taylor Oscars for Best Adapted Screenplay. But after the barrage of press junkets, film festivals, awards shows and requests came at him faster and heavier than for any of his earlier films, he did retreat inward, largely avoiding any public life.
Two summers ago he spoke of "trying to get away from letting myself be trapped by the demands of others on my time." This time, he said, "I'm trying to be a private citizen." He's managed to avoid the tabloids but he's had mixed success with the bit about getting back to work.

Typically using the Power Shares QQQ Trust as the trading vehicle, Respondent's purported understanding with his clients was that if the underlying NASDAQ 100 index closed the week down more than 10% from its six-week high, he would close out the long QQQ position; thereafter, the strategy called for re-entry into the QQQ when the index moved higher from the trigger threshold of 10% below its six-week high.
By May 2010, Respondent had approximately 55 customers using his stop-loss strategy pursuant to their verbal authorizations for the stockbroker to sell the QQQs when then the trigger was reached - the AWC asserts that the clients understood that Respondent "would not be calling them prior to entering the trades."
Ah, but the devil is always in the details.
On May 7, 2010, following a drop in the QQQs and the activation of the trigger, Respondent placed market sell orders for 55 customers spread out over 79 accounts. In keeping with the stockbroker-clients' understanding, Respondent did not contact the customers to obtain their prior authorization to enter the orders.
Although Respondent had received prior verbal authorization to execute the QQQ trades as required by the stop-loss trading strategy, he did not have written authorization to exercise discretion in his customers' accounts. Respondent's entry of the QQQ orders therefore violated NASD Rule 2510(b) and FINRA Rule 2010.
In accordance with the terms of the AWC, FINRA imposed upon Respondent a $5,000 fine and a 10-business-day suspension from association with any FINRA member firm in any capacity.
Okay, so now you know. Even if the customers say "It's okay - exercise discretion," that's not enough under the rules. You need to get it in writing from the customer (and before you enter the trade) and you need to get your firm's written approval.
Among the bedrock of Wall Street violations is unauthorized discretion. And don't think that this violation is a rare miscue. It's not. The failure to obtain properly authorized and approved account discretion plagues registered persons at indie/regional firms as well as the big boys such as Merrill, UBS, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo.
In this AWC, however, I find myself confronted with what I call a "Yes but" case. According to a strict interpretation of FINRA's rule, we have a stockbroker using improperly authorized and unapproved discretion. And to be fair, I'm willing to give FINRA points for making sure that registered persons understand the compelling need to only exercise discretion according to the rule. Still - we have to always be mindful that in sending such messages, there are human beings named as respondents with lives to live and businesses to run.
CONTRARY TO COMPANY POLICIES, REPRESENTATIVE PLACED TRADES IN CLIENTS' ACCOUNTS WITHOUT RECEIVING APPROVAL PRIOR TO EACH TRANSACTION. FURTHERMORE, DURING AN INTERVIEW, THE REPRESENTATIVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HE "EXERCISED A BIT OF DISCRETION" FOR ONE TRANSACTION AT ISSUE.
[S]TRONGLY DISPUTES WELLS FARGO'S ALLEGATIONS. APPROVAL WAS RECEIVED PRIOR TO EACH TRANSACTION. EACH TRADE WAS PLACED PURSUANT TO THE CUSTOMER'S INSTRUCTIONS TO SELL SECURITIES IF THEIR VALUE FELL TO A SPECIFIC LEVEL. WELLS FARGO INTERVIEWED THE CUSTOMERS AND CONFIRMED THAT THE CUSTOMERS AUTHORIZED THE TRADES. FURTHERMORE, NO CUSTOMER DISPUTED THE TRADES AND NO CUSTOMER PAID A COMMISSION FOR THE TRADES. THIS ALLEGATION IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW.
All of which brings me to the yeah but portion of this commentary.
Yeah, Respondent may well have failed to get prior written authorization from his clients BUT did his misconduct truly require the imposition of $5,000 fined and a 10-business-day suspension? Given the facts in this case, I think the sanctions were heavy handed.
For starters, the clients were all fee-based, so there wasn't any substantial financial motivation to engaging in the unauthorized trades because Respondent realized no commissions. Moreover, it appears that the stockbroker had meticulously presented his trading strategy and had extracted the prior oral consent of his clients for the anticipated entry of buy and sell orders pursuant to the trigger. Flawed and improper as such prior oral consent may have been, at least it demonstrates some good faith effort to comply with the concept of getting prior authorization to enter orders.
I don't think this registered person posed any particular threat to the trading public and see no justified remediation or deterrence in the imposition of a five-figure fine and a 10-business-day suspension. A $5,000 fine strikes me as sufficient. On the other hand, this was not a contested case but an AWC in which Respondent submitted an offer of settlement. Consequently, if he is satisfied with the nature of the sanction, so be it.

Q: get_terms - name__like a number Using Get Terms with the argument of 'name__like', how do i return all results that start with any number?
I've tried:
$feats = get_terms( 'movies', array('name__like' => '1', 'name__like' => '2', 'name__like' => '3' ) );

and
$feats = get_terms( 'movies', array('name__like' => '1,2,3,4,5,6,') );

Neither work properly. The first method will return the last "name__like" value but ignore the rest.
Any ideas?

A: Looking at the get_terms function definition, the value for name__like will be passed to the SQL query like:
" AND t.name LIKE '{$name__like}%'"

As such, I believe that you can only search for one of the numbers.
As an alternative strategy, you could iterate over the numbers you want to pull from the database:
$terms = array();
$numbers = range( 1, 6 );
foreach ( $numbers as $number )
    $terms[] = get_terms( 'movies', array( 'name__like' => $number ) );

As yet another alternative, you could make all of these terms that you want to get a child of another term. For instance, if you make a parent term called "Numbers", with id of 5, and assign all of the "numbered" terms as a child of this term, you could do:
get_terms( 'movies', array( 'parent' => 5 ) );

Obviously, the success of either strategy is dependent upon your use case. The first alternative is rather expensive, but with a nice caching strategy really shouldn't be an issue. The second method requires structuring data differently that may or may not work for your situation.

Cody man imprisoned for gun threat
Posted May 15, 2015 at 8:10 PM No comments
A Cody man will spend the next three to five years in prison for threatening another man at gunpoint in February.
"The only reason I'm not going to shoot you," Richard J. Wilson, 31, reportedly told another man outside a Cody bar, "is because I have a kid on the way."
Wilson pleaded guilty to a felony count of aggravated assault and received the prison time from District Court Judge Steven Cranfill in March, with the judge's formal order issued last month.
Cranfill recommended that Wilson, reported to have been intoxicated when he made the threats, be placed in the prison's intensive treatment unit. He also must pay $245 under the negotiated sentence.
Cody police
were called to the Silver Dollar Bar shortly before 12:30 a.m. on Feb. 20 for a report of an altercation. A bouncer said Wilson had been the agressor in the disturbance, but had left.
Police didn't find Wilson, but about 20 minutes later, another man called 911 to report he'd just been threatened at gunpoint in the 1000 block of 13th Street.
The man said he'd been helping an intoxicated friend into his truck when a car pulled up behind him, Officer Rick Tillery recounted in an affidavit used to support the charge. The armed, apparently drunk driver — later identified as Wilson — began asking if the man and his friend were the ones who had "jumped" him in the earlier altercation at the Silver Dollar.
"During the questions, Wilson demanded to see (the man's) face or he advised something bad would happen," Officer Tillery wrote.
The man tried to assure Wilson that he and his friend had not been in any altercation, but Wilson eventually raised his handgun, pointed it at the man and explained the only reason he wasn't going to shoot was because he was expecting a child.
"Wilson demanded to see (the man's) face or he advised something bad would happen," charging documents say.
When police confronted Wilson at his home on Bleistein Avenue, he denied having pointed a gun at anyone and said he didn't even own one.
However, Wilson matched the physical description given by the man who'd been assaulted and confirmed he and his wife were expecting a child.
Police arrested Wilson and, after he was treated at West Park Hospital for head injuries from the earlier altercation, took him to jail.
Detective Sgt. Beau Egger later learned that Wilson actually had returned to his apartment after the first altercation and got a handgun. The affidavit says Egger found the gun wrapped in underwear and hidden under a bag of mulch in the yard behind Wilson's apartment.
When the script called for Mark Wahlberg's character in "Shooter" to hole up in the Wind River Range, the film's producers opted to have British Columbia stand in for western Wyoming.
However, an authentic, recently rediscovered piece of the state did make a brief appearance in the 2007 film.
In the supposed Wyoming cabin that Wahlberg's character calls home, there sits on a coffee table a copy of "Wyoming Wildlife" magazine.

It's not exactly obvious.
"You probably have to look pretty close," said Renny MacKay, a spokesman for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, which produces the monthly wildlife magazine.
"Shooter" filmmakers requested an edition of Wyoming Wildlife for a prop and "we sent them a few copies," MacKay explained.
He said magazine staffers were able to spot their publication on a cabin table when they watched the film years ago.
It takes trained eye to spot the Wyoming Game and Fish magazine in the movie.
Depending on who you ask at the department, Wahlberg might have planned to read the magazine to get more familiar with Wyoming and its wildlife, though others think it was strictly a prop, MacKay said.
What's more clear is what Wahlberg did with the September 2005 magazine after the shoot: he signed it, along with a couple photographs of himself, and sent them to the folks at "Wyoming Wildlife."
The autographed magazine was recently rediscovered in a former editor's filing cabinet, prompting MacKay to share a photo on Twitter.
A different Wyoming prop — a state license plate — is actually featured more prominently in the movie.
The plate made it into the storyline, as Wahlberg's character covertly photographs it so he can research its ownership. However, what made the front license plate more notable is that filmmakers goofed up: when the vehicle it adorns is first shown, the plate isn't there.
The producers apparently struggled to realistically depict Wyoming license plates throughout their filming; an IMDB.com "goofs" page points out that in one of the movie's news clips, supposedly broadcast from Wyoming, all of the cars are missing the state's mandatory front plates.
Yellowstone fees to go up in June
Starting next month, visits to Yellowstone National Park will be a little more expensive.
The price of a week-long long park pass will rise from $25 to $30 per vehicle on June 1. An annual pass to the park, meanwhile, will rise from $50 to $60.

In addition to the price increase, the annual and week-long passes won't get you as far: Yellowstone passes will no longer be recognized in Grand Teton National Park. Instead, visitors wanting to travel through both parks will need to either buy a week-long $50 joint park pass or an $80 annual pass that's good for all the national parks across the U.S.
Yellowstone administrators announced the fee changes on Monday, saying in a news release that they were doing so "in order to fund important resource protection and visitor facility projects within the park."
"We use our entrance fees to complete critical projects that benefit park visitors and our natural resources," Yellowstone Superintendent Dan Wenk said in a news release. "Eighty percent of the revenue we collect stays right here in Yellowstone and funds projects including road repairs, campground upgrades, rehabilitation of park structures, accessibility improvements for people with disabilities, radio and utility systems improvements, native fish restoration and aquatic invasive species mitigation."
Yellowstone officials first proposed the changes in November as part of a National Park Service effort to raise fees at many locations.
The Park Service estimates the fee changes will bring in an extra $3 million a year, with annual collections totaling around $11 million.
In a proposal that would have been unique to Yellowstone, park brass initially intended to replace the week-long passes with ones good for just three days. It would have allowed the park to collect additional fees from the roughly 30 percent of visitors who spend more than three days in Yellowstone. However, park officials announced Monday that they'd scrapped the three-day idea after hearing public criticism that it would be too confusing.
Park spokeswoman Traci Weaver said abandoning the recommendation meant passing up roughly $1 million a year.
The Park Service estimates the other changes will still bring in an extra $3 million a year, with annual collections totaling around $11 million.
It didn't take a particularly large outcry for Yellowstone administrators to back off the three-day passes. Weaver said that during the 46-day public comment period, the park received 18 comments criticizing the idea. One came from City of Cody leaders.
"Many comments referred to the fact that adding more options would just confuse people and make the lines at the entrance stations longer," Weaver said in an email. "Other comments included statements such as, 'you can't see the park in 1-3 days.'"
The Park Service abandoned the idea of trimming passes from the standard week to three days after the change was panned as being too confusing.
The park service received a total of 217 comments.
Ninety-seven commenters (45 percent) opposed the entire proposal, 35 of them (16 percent) wanted a more limited increase or opposed certain parts (like the separation of Grand Teton and Yellowstone fees), while 85 people (39 perecent) supported park managers' plans, Weaver said.
The vast majority of the comments — 189 of them, or 87 percent — were submitted online.
Acting Yellowstone Superintendent Steve Iobst initially planned to exclude online comments. A park spokesman explained at the time that letting people mail in or hand deliver their thoughts "offered adequate opportunities for public comment."
But records showed it was the first time in more than eight years that the park had sought public input without giving an opportunity to comment online or via email. Further, other national parks who were proposing fee increases, including Grand Teton officials, accepted online comments.
Yellowstone brass initially weren't going to allow comments to be submitted online, but they later changed its mind.
After criticism from citizens and media outlets, Iobst ultimately reversed course, extended the public comment period and allowed the online comments.
The last rate hike took place in 2006, when the per-vehicle fee rose from $20 to $25.
"Previous fee increases have had no effect on visitation levels," the Park Service said in its news release.
County orders Ralston man to move shop, then backs off
Move it or lose it — or maybe never mind.
After directing a Ralston man to either move his shop 15 feet or face legal action, Park County commissioners now may change the regulation he's violating.
County commissioners ruled last month that Tom McCauley's 40-by-60-foot shop was built too close to the alley that runs between Bridger Avenue and Lane 11 in Ralston. County regulations require structures to be at least 20 feet from county roads — which includes alleyways — and McCauley's building is only around five feet back.

"The structure must be moved within 30 days," explained Commissioner Loren Grosskopf after a unanimous April 21 vote.
"Or it will be referred to the county attorney," finished Commission Chairman Joe Tilden.
However, earlier this month, the county extended McCauley's deadline by 60 days because officials are considering changing the regulations to require only five-foot setbacks from rural alleys.
If that happens, "he'll still have to come to us to ask us for a variance, but I'll certainly give it to him," Tilden said Friday.
It's a significant change in tone from last month's meeting, which appeared to be the final word on the violation that was noticed years ago by planning and zoning staff.
County Planning Director Linda Gillett issued a formal notice of violation in March and McCauley appealed to commissioners, arguing in part that the county's 20-foot setback requirements are unreasonable for small lots.
"It's like, if we're going to have regs, are we going to enforce them or not?"
said Commissioner Tim French.
At the hearing, Commissioner Tim French said the county might need to reconsider whether a 20-foot setback is too much for an alleyway. (For comparison, detached structures must be set back five feet from alleys in the City of Cody and 15 feet in Powell.)
"But what's happened here is there's individuals that wanted to build right close to the alley and we told them no, there's a setback," French said, adding, "A lot of people are like, 'That's baloney he can do that' and 'I played by the rules and he didn't.'"
He said the issue has created "a lot of heartburn" among different people.
"It's like, if we're going to have regs, are we going to enforce them or not?" French asked rhetorically.
McCauley, however, noted there are several other structures well within 20 feet of the alley — some even closer than his.
"I don't understand (why) it's OK for everybody else to build stuff two feet off of the land, but it's not OK for me," McCauley said.
The county allowed one property owner to build just 10 feet off the alley because of a lack of room, but Gillett said most of the other offending outbuildings appear to have been constructed before the zoning regulations took effect in 2000.
"I can't say this never happened," she said. "It has been happening in Ralston."
Ralston was originally laid out as a town, but has never become one — explaining why it has generally undeveloped alleyways.
McCauley's appeal was undercut in commissioners' minds by the fact he signed off on a building permit specifically showing that the shop would be built 20 feet off the alley.
"I didn't realize I had to abide by every inch of that, I guess," McCauley explained. He said he provided the permit to his contractor and it seemed logical when they built the new structure in the same spot as an old garage that had preceded it.
"It's my fault that it got built there. I don't know what else to say," McCauley said.
Tilden said at the hearing that part of what bothered him is that McCauley has had years of trouble with the county's zoning regulations in connection with a trucking business he runs on the property.
"So now here we are after letter, after letter, after letter, and listened to complaint after complaint," Tilden said. Commissioners' resolution on the subject, signed later, said the record showed a series of complaints and violations dating back to spring 2010 which was "evidence of disregard for the regulations."
McCauley said some of the complaints about his business are "B.S." and that he would have spoken with commissioners at any time.
The county will consider changes to its regulations in July.
The alterations to the county's setback regulations, along with other proposed changes, are scheduled to be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission on July 14. Commissioners are tentatively scheduled to consider the revised regulations on July 21.
Badger Basin murder suspect Sandra Garcia denied bail
A former Clark resident charged in connection with the 2014 murder of her then-boyfriend was denied bail at a Friday appearance in Park County's Circuit Court.
Sandra Garcia, 27, will continue to be held in the Park County Detention Center pending further proceedings in the case.
Garcia did not object to getting no bail versus what would have likely been an extremely high dollar amount.
Sandra Garcia
"I can't bail out anyway, so if you guys are going to hold me without bail, that's fine," she said.
It was the first local court appearance for Garcia, who's one of three people facing charges for the January 2014 murder of 30-year-old Juan Antonio Guerra-Torres.
Garcia allegedly called for Guerra-Torres' killing. Authorities say she told her brother that, if Guerra-Torres wasn't taken care of, "dangerous people" in Mexico would come kill her family over a substantial debt that Guerra-Torres owed.
Charging documents allege Garcia's brother — 28-year-old Pedro Garcia Jr. — then hired John L. Marquez to kill Guerra-Torres, with Marquez later shooting him dead and then mutilating his body in Badger Basin.
The charges are based largely on a confession that Pedro Garcia reportedly gave to personnel from the Park County Sheriff's Office and the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation in March.
"I can't bail out anyway, so if you guys are going to hold me without bail, that's fine," Sandra Garcia said.
Sandra Garcia was arrested in Rincon, Georgia, in March, but it took authorities more than a month to get her back to Park County. She, like her brother, is facing felony charges of conspiring to commit first-degree murder and aiding and abetting first-degree murder. Marquez is charged with first-degree murder and conspiring to commit first-degree murder.
Wyoming law says someone charged with a crime punishable by death — that is, first-degree murder — can be denied bail if "the proof is evident or the presumption great in the case."
Deputy Park County Prosecuting Attorney Tim Blatt argued Friday that the case against Sandra Garcia meets that criteria.
Blatt said the charges were based on an eyewitness' account (Pedro Garcia), that Sandra Garcia had "fled to the state of Georgia," was "dishonest with law enforcement in the early stages of the investigation" and has ties to Mexico.
"... the deceased's body was mutilated, obviously for the purposes of trying
to avoid the identity of the victim and the prosecution of this matter," said prosecutor Tim Blatt.
"More importantly, your honor, the deceased's body was mutilated, obviously for the purposes of trying to avoid the identity of the victim and the prosecution of this matter as well," Blatt said.
Circuit Court Magistrate Matthew Winslow agreed there was enough evidence to deny bond.
Winslow said Pedro Garcia's statements — as quoted in an affidavit from Park County Sheriff's Investigator Joe Torczon — were contrary to his own interests and therefore have more veracity.
"I also find that the affidavit supports the conclusion — at least for the purposes of this hearing — that the defendant was dishonest and evasive, further supporting the veracity of these allegations," Winslow said.
Investigator Torczon's affidavit says Sandra Garcia initially told law enforcement she had dropped Guerra-Torres off to meet an associate of a man he owed money and never saw him again. However, Garcia told her mother that Guerra-Torres had been arrested and told her father that she'd put Guerra-Torres on a bus to Mexico, Torczon wrote.
She never reported Guerra-Torres as missing.
Sandra Garcia, who'd been working as a Walmart stocker in Georgia, will be represented by a court-appointed attorney. She said in court that she had hired a private lawyer, "but he didn't show up."
During the hearing, Garcia also pleaded guilty to three unrelated, misdemeanor traffic violations that she committed last May and June.
Winslow ordered her to pay several hundred dollars in court fines and assessments for driving without auto insurance, a seat belt and without a child properly buckled in, but said she doesn't have to start making payments until she's out of jail.
Guerra-Torres had been Sandra Garcia's significant other, but she never reported him as missing.
If convicted of the counts relating to first-degree murder, Garcia, her brother and Marquez would each face a minimum sentence of life in prison.
Pedro Garcia remains jailed in the Park County Detention Center, with bail set at $1 million cash pending a preliminary hearing.
U.S. Marshals are in the process of bringing Marquez back from Bonham, Texas, where he was arrested in March. Park County Sheriff Scott Steward has said he expects Marquez to be here by the end of the week.
Small label error, big cost for Cody Labs
A minor labeling mix-up at a Cody drug manufacturer is expected to cost its parent company around $2.4 million.
A small number of bottles of an anesthetic produced at Cody Laboratories were recently mislabeled as holding 10 milliliters of the drug when they actually held only four milliliters.
The product's label as of 2010, taken from the U.S. National Library of Medicine
Lannett Company CEO Arthur Bedrosian announced the error on a Wednesday conference call with analysts and Lannett investors in which he discussed the business' most recent quarter. The publicly traded company, which owns Cody Labs, voluntarily recalled the mislabeled lot after discovering the mistake, Bedrosian said.
"We believe this is a minor issue, as use of the (mislabeled) product is not considered to present a health risk, and product quality was not affected," he said.
Bedrosian said Cody Labs has ordered new equipment designed to prevent the problem from happening again and has implemented additional quality controls in the meantime.
Lannett CFO Martin Galvan said the mistake would cost $2.4 million.
The product in question is called C-Topical, a local anesthetic made of cocaine hydrochloride. It's primarily intended for use by ear, nose and throats doctors during surgical procedures, according to label information and Lannett statements.
"While there's been a little set back with regards to the recall — and it was a minor one, nevertheless it was a costly one — we do think that the product's upward trend is still there," said Lannett CEO Arthur Bedrosian.
C-Topical is the first branded product offered by Lannett Company, which otherwise manufactures and sells generic medications. The company currently has the topical solution in a clinical trial and has a group of salesmen actively marketing the product.
"We do see an increase in revenue coming from this product, and we do see a success in this product's potential outlook for us," Bedrosian said on the call, which was transcribed by the website Seeking Alpha. "So while there's been a little set back with regards to the recall — and it was a minor one, nevertheless it was a costly one — we do think that the product's upward trend is still there."
Lannett is based in and has manufacturing plants in Philadelphia, but the Cody Labs facility is where the company develops and manufactures active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Lannett officials have set a goal of increasing their focus on painkillers and have discussed expanding Cody Labs to help with that effort.
"As the company continues to invest in, and focus, on process and manufacturing optimization, Cody Labs will continue to be an important part of our future growth plan," Lannett said in last week's earnings report.
"Cody Labs will continue to be an important part of our future growth plan," Lannett says.
Eying the jobs that would come with an expansion, Wyoming lawmakers made money available last year to help finance such a project, but Lannett and Cody Labs have not yet decided if they'll seek a state loan.
Between January and March, Lannett reported net sales of $99.4 million, with a gross profit of $75.6 million, or 76 percent.

Many people are only aware of the Subtotal icon and have never looked at the Subtotal function itself. After all, the icon, lets you add, average and count a list so who needs more? Well if you are one of the people who subtotal data a lot then you may want to look at the Subtotal function or the AGGREGATE() function.
There are 3 advantages of using the SUBTOTAL function rather than the icon.
First, the subtotal function allows you to display the subtotal wherever you want it to display on the worksheet rather than in the list itself.
Second, you can specify if you want Excel to subtotal all of the data in the list, even the hidden values, or to only subtotal the visible data in the list. That is powerful.
The third advantage of the Subtotal function is that it excludes other subtotals. So, for example, if you had a monthly report that has a lot of report sections such as Sales, Cost of Goods Sold, Operating Expenses, Non-Operating Gains(Losses) , typically you add up each grouping and then create a grand total. If you used =SUBTOTAL() on each of these groupings than all you need to do is use =SUBTOTAL() at the end of the report to get a grand total because SUBTOTAL() does not include subtotals when it totals! How cool is that? This is also a time saver if you need to create a new section for something new within the report as the grand total will automatically update if =SUBTOTAL() was used.
If you are excited about =SUBTOTAL() then check out =AGGREGATE() if you have Excel 2010 or higher. AGGREGATE() does everything that SUBTOTAL() does and more. While =SUBTOTAL() offers 11 functions, AGGREGATE() offers 19 functions. Some of the more useful new functions include SMALL() and LARGE(). In addition to offering you the option of ignoring hidden rows of data, it also allows you the option of ignoring error values and/or subtotals. This is key – how often have you tried to sum a column of data that has a #Div/0! Or a #N/A? Well, if you use AGGREGATE() you will actually get an answer instead of an error message in the total line.
The syntax of AGGREGATE() is similar to SUBTOTAL() but gives you more control over what you are totaling so it is more powerful.. It is AGGREGATE(function_num, options, ref1,[ref2],..]. A function_num of 1 still means Average while a 9 means Sum. The difference here is the options section. The option number tells Excel which values to ignore in the data list you are testing.
So, why didn't I lead with AGGREGATE()? I started with =SUBTOTAL() because a lot of people are familiar with the Subtotal Icon and it is a bit simpler. However, if you are a manager of lots of data, I suggest you jump over SUBTOTAL() and use AGGREGATE().
Below is a simple example comparing SUM(), SUBTOTAL(), AGGREGATE().
Does Aggregate() is faster than Subtotal() ?
I have a file with over 50 columns and each columns have 5 Subtotal(). Everytime I filter over a column, my computer is calculating over a minute!
If I convert from Subtotal() to Aggregate(), will the calculations will be faster ?
I have not tested it but I did ask a few people and the consensus is that AGGREGATE is faster.
Try it out and see. Sometimes, even if it is faster, it is difficult to tell though- depends how much faster.
Overall I was very pleased with the course. Previously I knew just enough about pivot tables to be dangerous. Now I see the power that they have and I feel much more confident using pivot tables. The course materials were very clear and well prepared. I'll be looking at your website for future CPE hours.

Teresa believes in God. Maggie's wife believes that the Earth is flat, and also that Maggie should be home from work by now. Anouk—a cat—believes it is dinner time. This dissertation is about what believing is: it concerns what, exactly, ordinary people are attributing to Teresa, Maggie's wife, and Anouk when affirming that they are believers. Part I distinguishes the attitudes of belief that people attribute to each other (and other animals) in ordinary life from the cognitive states of belief theoretically posited by (some) cognitive scientists. Part II defends the view that to have an attitude of belief is to live—to be disposed to act, react, think, and feel—in a pattern that an actual belief attributor identifies with taking the world to be some way. Drawing on scientific, scholarly, and literary sources of evidence, How Beliefs are like Colors provides a framework for research on belief across the humanities and sciences of the mind.

OUR Vets Call on Walmart to Allow Associates to Fundraise for Wounded Warrior Project
OUR Vets, a nationwide organization of Walmart associates who have served in the armed forces, held a rally in response to Walmart denying OUR Vets' request to allow Walmart associates to wear R.E.D. (Remember Everyone Deployed) shirts on Fridays in exchange for a donation to the Wounded Warrior Project. The rally took place on July 3, in front of a Walmart in Clovis, N.M.
In the past, Walmart associates have been allowed to have a different dress code if they donated money to non-profits. For example, Walmart associates have been allowed to wear jeans for donating $1 in support of the Children's Miracle Network.
"Walmart has said it supports veterans and our deployed military," said Meg Jenkins, an OUR Vets member who served from 1992 to 1995 at the Patuxent River Naval Health Clinic and has been working at Walmart as an overnight stocker for four years . "Now it's time for them to show it by letting associates donate to help our wounded soldiers."


I'm trying to create a specific search/dashboard in Splunk Enterprise 7. We have hosts running Ubuntu 14.04 with the unattended-upgrades package installed and configured to run daily. When updates are installed that require a reboot, 2 files are created on each host: /var/run/reboot-required (with the text "*** System restart required ***") and /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs (containing the packages requesting the reboot). These files are removed upon rebooting the host.
Within a given time period, I can see which hosts require a reboot and what packages are prompting the reboot.
Unfortunately, this search/dashboard does not give me the entire overview of ALL my hosts at THIS moment. For example, if I have hosts that last installed updates requiring a reboot a week ago, but have NOT since been rebooted, I would not see these hosts in the search results within the last 3 days (since there are no changes to the /var/run/reboot-required* files). However, I do expect to see no results IF the reboot-required* files do NOT exist on any host.
I want to get the latest status from the reboot-required* files on EACH host regardless of time frame. What is the best way to go about this?
Why am I getting a 500 Internal Server Error immediately after logging into my external IP address on Ubuntu?
How to make sure I am receiving CPU or memory information from my Splunk server?

Q: HTML change photo name after user takes photo Is it possible to change the filename of a photo after the user takes a picture with a mobile device? In the code below, the photoTaken() function taken reads the information of the image and then calls the uploadFile() function. Is it possible to rename the file before it is sent to the server for processing?
HTML:

Javascript:
function photoTaken() {
    var count = document.getElementById('inp_file').files.length;
    //document.getElementById('PhotoList').innerHTML = "";
    for (var index = 0; index < count; index ++)
    {
        var file = document.getElementById('inp_file').files[index];
        var fileSize = 0;
        if (file.size > 1024 * 1024) {
            fileSize = (Math.round(file.size * 100 / (1024 * 1024)) / 100).toString() + 'MB';
        }
        else {
            fileSize = (Math.round(file.size * 100 / 1024) / 100).toString() + 'KB';
        }
        document.getElementById('PhotoList').innerHTML += file.name + '|' + fileSize;
        //document.getElementById('PhotoList').innerHTML += '<p>';

uploadFile();
          }

    var fd = new FormData();
    var count = document.getElementById('inp_file').files.length;

Ferocactus hamatacanthus subsp. sinuatus is a smaller version of Ferocactus hamatacanthus. It is a barrel cactus with solitary or sparsely clumping, dark green stem up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall and up to 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. It has 13 to 17 tuberculate ribs, circular to elliptic areoles up to 1.2 inches (3 cm) apart and 12 to 16 spines per areole. The flowers are funnel-shaped, pale yellow, up to 3 inches (7.5 cm) long and up to 3.6 inches (9 cm) in diameter.
Choose a planting location that receives direct sun during all or most of the day. Because Ferocactus eventually leans into the sun instead of growing precisely upright and because it has extremely sharp thorns, place it where people will not brush into it accidentally.
Plant your cactus in early spring before new roots begin to form. The roots may appear dry, but that is typical before new growth begins. Dig a hole deep enough for the plant's roots and amend it as needed to provide fast-draining soil. A good soil mixture includes 10 percent native soil, 45 percent washed sand or pumice and 45 percent compost. Ferocactus thrives in poor and arid soil.
Ferocactus hamatacanthus subsp. sinuatus is native to Mexico and United States.


Helping out a new hire in your company is more important than you might think. While most people's first reaction is to stay away from training a new colleague, especially when they are not reporting to them, giving a helping hand and offering some guidance wherever possible can go a long way and might even benefit you directly. So, put yourself in their shoes, and think about what they probably want and need to know based on your own experience in the company. While there is no need to become their dedicated on-the-job trainer, there are many ways in which you can help a new colleague to get up to speed.
Before getting involved and offering advice, make sure you actually have a clear overview of the new hire's scope of work. There is no need to overwhelm them with information about the company that doesn't even relate to their daily tasks. Once you have a better understanding of what your new co-worker's role entails, you will be in a better position to better help and provide direction, when needed.
When starting a new job, getting up to speed with internal companies processes can often be the most difficult part. As every company works differently and uses its own workflows, approval processes and procedures, it's extremely helpful for a new hire to get a proper and detailed introduction on these details. While he or she surely will get the hang of it over time, the on-boarding process can definitely be accelerated with a rundown on how things work in the company. However, be sure to focus on the things that matter and not on unnecessary gossip.
Everyone makes mistakes when starting in a new role or company. It's expected and is okay. However, it becomes a problem if these mistakes are not pointed out and corrected. Don't just ignore mistakes because your co-worker is new. It's especially important to tell him or her now before this mistake becomes a routine. Just put yourself in their shoes – wouldn't you want to tell you if keep making the same small mistake over and over again? Don't feel bad about correcting them – they will appreciate it!
Even though you might work in a different department or team, there are still ways in which you can help your colleague. When you introduce yourself, simply mention that whenever they have a problem or a question, they can approach you. While they might not even take up the offer, it's important that you make yourself available to the new hire. Furthermore, it's also a great way to show a positive company culture. Knowing that there is someone you can rely on and ask for guidance can be a great confidence booster.
So, the next time a new colleague starts, be sure to give them a helping hand. After all, this can also be beneficial to you, as you can develop some leadership skills. Remember that the faster they get up to speed, the faster they might be able to support you and become a strong member of the team.

30th Anniversary of Labyrinth : A Fancast Favorite
There aren't many films that transcend a specific time and space. Many films that you look at are products of their time. Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola films dominated the 70's. Steven Spielberg and James Cameron shaped the entertainment of the 80's. During this time, Jim Henson was enjoying box office success and critical acclaim for his Muppet films and television shows like Sesame Street and The Muppet Show.
Like all geniuses, Jim Henson wasn't satisfied with just doing the same thing over and over again. In the 70's, he decided to push the boundaries of his art and he began a collaboration with British artist Brian Froud.
Froud had success with his fairy and fantasy creature designs and Henson wanted to collaborate with him on a series of new films. Henson even created a new division within his empire called The Jim Henson Creature Shop in order to accommodate his work with Froud.
The film, written by Terry Jones of Month Python's Flying Circus and directed by Jim Henson was released in 1986 and starred an unknown Jennifer Connelly as Sarah and musical icon David Bowie as Jareth, the Goblin King.
Sarah Williams (Connelly) is rehearsing a play in the park when she remembers that she needs to get home to take care of her baby step-brother Toby because her father and step-mother are going out.
After finding out that Toby not only has her favorite stuffed bear and that he will not stop crying, she wishes that he is taken away by Jareth the Goblin King (Bowie), who obliges.
After confronting Sarah, Jareth the Goblin King gives her a chance to rescue her brother if she can make her way through his labyrinth within 13 hours before Toby gets turned into a goblin himself.
Sarah takes the challenge and is confronted with the strange creatures who inhabit the labyrinth. She makes friends with some of the creatures including Hoggle (a creature with his own agenda),
Ludo (a sweet, simple giant creature who talks to rocks)
and Sir Didymus (a fox-like creature that rides an English sheepdog named Ambrosius and likens himself to a medieval knight).
I won't spoil the movie because all of us on the Super Powered Fancast team love this film (except for Danny) and encourage you strongly to see it yourself, but I will say that it is worth it.
Personally, one of the biggest draws to me in this film is the presence of David Bowie as Jareth. Growing up in the 80's, Bowie's music was always a part of my personal soundtrack. My Walkman was filled at the time with mix tapes (if you're lost, look it up) featuring my favorite Bowie tracks like Under Pressure, Let's Dance and Modern Love. Knowing that Bowie produced and performed the songs from the soundtrack made it a must have for me. "Underground" and "Magic Dance" are standouts for being great up tempo dance tracks while "As the World Falls Down" and "Within You" are effective and haunting ballads. All of these songs could be released independently and be successful. In fact, music videos were made for two of the songs from the film.
As the World Falls Down
The movie was not a box office success. It cost $25 million to produce and its initial run in theaters only brought in about half that. Critics were even less kind to the film, ravaging it so badly that Jim Henson never directed another film. While not being initially successful, it has gone on to cult status with audiences. Watching the movie as a kid, I was always struck by how visually different it looked from other films at the time. I liked how real Jennifer Connelly's performance of Sarah seemed and how scary and charming Bowie's portrayal of Jareth was.
Unique storytelling, a visual style never seen before on film, creatures that transform the genre of puppetry and music that is engaging and engrossing make Labyrinth a film that you can enjoy at any age. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below. What are some of your favorite moments from the movie? Who are your favorite characters and why? I promise to respond in a timely manner even though………
Update : Nicole Perlman, co-screenwriter of "Guardians of the Galaxy" has been writing a "continuation" of Labyrinth stating that the movie was her favorite film as a child.

NEWS: 16th criminal transferred to feds for deportation
by Office of the Governor | Nov 23, 2016 | Press Releases | 0 comments
A man accused of criminal sexual conduct and driving while under the influence of alcohol is being transferred into the custody of federal officials for deportation.
Biten Keimen, who is also known as Biten Keimen Tisa or Peten Tisa, was arrested in 2010 and serving seven years in prison with credit for time served. He was sentenced in 2012 for three separate cases:
CF:304-10: Four counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, as a first-degree felony
CM575-10: driving while under the influence of alcohol
CM1112-09: driving while under the influence of alcohol
He was scheduled to be released from prison in May 2017.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) placed a detainer on Keimen, a citizen of the Federated States of Micronesia, because his crimes made him eligible for deportation. The Governor commuted the remainder of Keimen's sentence and with that the Department of Corrections will transfer Keimen into the custody of U.S. immigrations. The federal agency will then begin the deportation process.
Keimen would be the 16th criminal either removed or deported as part of the Governor's initiative to protect the safety of our island's residents. The initiative also has allowed the government to save hundreds of thousands of dollars. It costs the Department of corrections about $119 a day to house each inmate and detainee. That rounds up to about $43,435 per person, each year.
