Knuckleball Movie Perfect Pre-World Series Warmup
October 27, 2016 October 14, 2013 by Tom Owens
Better late than never.
I kept putting off the DVD viewing of Knuckleball. I was like the kid determined to make my Halloween candy stash last until Christmas goodies were available.
Sure enough, this baseball feast waited for me, helping to stave off the hunger I felt as the regular season ended.
First of all, I'm calling this a movie. Nope, it's not fiction. Doesn't matter. "Documentary" makes some viewers squirm. As in, "that sounds good for me, like a platter of turnips. Can't we watch a movie."
That's code for "movie = fun."
Knuckleball is fun. We see the characteristics of the pitchers brave enough to throw a maligned pitch. Hall of Famer Phil Niekro is a Hall of Fame storyteller, a skill never showcased before this movie.
Credit directors Annie Sundberg (no relation to Jim) and Ricki Stern with coaxing great answers from R.A. Dickey, Tim Wakefield and Charlie Hough, too. I was amazed at the golf-weekend conversations captured as the four knuckleballers interviewed each other.
There's more than an hour of bonus materials. Sundberg and Stern did their homework with these extended interviews.
My favorite moment in the movie? Dickey asks Hough to review one of his past games by video. They watch, only to giggle delightedly when a struck-out Pirates batsman goes nuts in the dugout, smashing his lumber.
"Sure. Blame the bat," Hough chides.
I've written before about asking good questions. Red Sox catcher Doug Mirabelli speaks at length about "Wakey." It's easy to imagine the pitch, harder to appreciate the men who've depended on the alternative. Such moments stress how to get at the "how does it feel?" aspect of baseball.
The World Series doesn't last forever. If you fret about being able to survive until spring training, here's the solution. This Knuckleball is the perfect pitch for this off-season.

R.A. Dickey Book: Surprising As Any Knuckleball
October 27, 2016 May 9, 2012 by Tom Owens
"Butterflies aren't bullets. You can't aim 'em. You just let 'em go."
— Charlie Hough
The knuckleballer-turned-tutor may have done more than tutor R.A. Dickey's pitching. Hough may have given a nugget of wisdom employed in the writing of Dickey's Wherever I Wind Up: My Quest For Truth, Authenticity and the Perfect Knuckleball.
In writing his life story, Dickey uses the same approach. This is anything but a conventional baseball tale. Dickey lets it all go, telling about the abuse he suffered as a boy, his sometimes-shaky marriage and other challenges to what many might assume has been a storybook career.
Definitely, this book is a LIFE story, not just a baseball retrospective. Dickey writes chronologically (and in present tense, giving his writing freshness and urgency). Page 91 begins his pro career with the Rangers. He relives the heartbreak of losing the $810,000 signing bonus, when a Baseball America cover photo reveals that Dickey may have elbow problems.
Dickey's evolution as a knuckleballer gets center stage in the book. He tells of seeking out Hough, Phil Niekro and Tim Wakefield for advice. Funniest moment in the book comes when Dickey breaks a nail. In full Mets uniform, he's sneaked out to a manicure salon for some emergency grooming.
The press release from publisher Blue Rider Press included a revealing comment from Dickey, seen nowhere in the book. Here it is:
"Q: How did your interest in literature shape Wherever I Wind Up?
A: Well, I can tell you this: I did not have much interest in writing a straightforward sports book. This is my first book. It might be my only book. I didn't want to just stuff it with a bunch of statistics and writes about ERAs and holding runners on and bore people with page after page of baseball platitudes. I wanted to write a narrative that was meaningful to me, that was completely honest and that would hopefully stand up as a quality piece of writing."
This thoughtful book might lead fans to guess that Dickey has the insight to become a coach or broadcaster. Read closely, and you'll discover that Dickey harbors the hope that he could be a high school English teacher someday.
Ultimately, readers will find the life and career of New York's elder statesman evolving like his knuckleball. While his butterfly pitch deceives, Dickey delivers his whole life story with right-down-the-middle candor and truth.
Coming Friday: Memories of Jewish baseball players.

Andreas Unterweger receives Christian-Doppler-Prize
State Councillor Andrea Klambauer awarded the Christian-Doppler-Prize 2019 in the category "Application of the Doppler Principle, Technical Sciences, Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics" to Andreas Unterweger for his outstanding scientific work. Photo: FH Salzburg/Siebenhandl
FH-Prof. Dr. Andreas Unterweger was awarded the renowned state prize for his excellent scientific work in the energy sector.
On 13 December the award was presented in the Christian Doppler lecture hall of the University of Salzburg. Andreas Unterweger, research associate at the Center for Secure Energy Informatics and senior lecturer in Information Technology & Systems Management at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, received the award in the category "Application of the Doppler Principle, Technical Sciences, Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics".
Andreas Unterweger's award-winning research deals with the topic of energy data compression in intelligent power grids. By 2020, most households will have smart meters at their disposal. Data will then no longer be transmitted once a year, but every 15 minutes. However, the power grid is not designed for such enormous data volumes of around 1 terabyte per year – around 500 million book pages. Unterweger has developed a practical process that reduces this amount of data to a tenth and is hardly more complex than data transmission without compression.
At the award ceremony, Andrea Klambauer, State Councillor for Science, expressed her satisfaction with the high standard of the research work and the commitment of the scientists to the natural sciences. "This year great research work was submitted. The prize is a tribute to this outstanding achievement and an incentive to further intensify it," said Klambauer.
About the Christian-Doppler-Prize
With the Christian-Doppler-Prize, the province of Salzburg honours outstanding scientific work, developments and inventions in the field of natural sciences. The prize is awarded every two years by the Salzburg State Government in cooperation with the Christian Doppler Fund.

Pregnancy accommodation bill unlikely to advance
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana legislators aren't likely to revive a proposal aimed at requiring more businesses to provide workplace accommodations for pregnant women.
Gov. Eric Holcomb urged lawmakers to support the proposal, but it was rebuffed in the state Senate by his fellow Republicans earlier this month.
Republican Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma said many questions remained among legislators as the bill faced opposition from the Indiana Chamber of Commerce and the Indiana Manufacturers Association as possibly exposing more businesses to lawsuits.
The proposal would have required Indiana businesses with more than 15 employees to allow pregnant women to take longer breaks, transfer to less physical work and take unpaid time off after childbirth. Some larger companies already provide pregnancy accommodations under federal regulations and 27 other states have laws similar to Holcomb's proposal.
Bosma said he talked with Holcomb after the governor pledged to keep pushing for lawmakers to approve the bill during this year's short legislative session that ends in mid-March. Bosma, however, said the Republican-dominated House would go along with the Senate's vote for sending the issue to a special study committee.
"In a short session in a major policy change that businesses have expressed a great deal of reservation about, it needs something more than the second half of a short session to look at, I think," Bosma said.
Health advocates supported the proposal as a way of improving Indiana's infant mortality rate, which was the country's seventh-worst with about 600 infant deaths in 2017.

High Court denies anonymity to ex-client suing firm
Posted by Neil Rose
Beltrami: Radical application
A former client suing Leeds law firm Shulmans for £4m has lost his bid to do so anonymously.
The professional negligence claim concerns a confidential settlement on which the firm advised, and the claimant's concern that being named would be a breach of the settlement deed.
He said this would put him at "high risk" of action by the other party to the settlement.
Shulmans argued that it faced a potential disadvantage because it would be unable to contact the other party for its defence.
The underlying claim in ABC v Shulmans LLP [2019] EWHC 2458 (Comm) is for alleged professional negligence in the resolution of a dispute between the claimant, his former corporate employer, and the individual who owned that corporate employer.
"The individual is a prominent businessman, whose name is well known," the judge said.
The claim settled on a confidential basis, with the parties unable to disclose anything about it publicly absent a court order.
The claimant was suing Shulmans on the basis that its negligence compelled him to accept a settlement that was a fraction of his true entitlement.
Mr Adrian Beltrami QC, sitting as a High Court judge, said the claimant had been unable to identify any previous cases where such an order had been made, and so he was "mindful of the concern expressed by the defendant as to the radical nature of the application".
The claimant's counsel argued that the confidentiality clause engaged his article 8 right to privacy.
The judge ruled that the claimant's wish not to be sued was not a relevant factor: "The claimant is not compelled to disclose the terms of the deed and thereby risk a breach of the confidentiality obligation, because he is not compelled to sue at all.
"And if he wishes to sue, then he is able to seek… a permissive order of the court pursuant to [the deed]."
Mr Beltrami QC continued that, to the extent the clause did give the claimant article 8 rights to privacy, they were not such as to derogate from the principle of open justice in a claim brought by the claimant himself.
He added: "Ultimately, as it was put to me by [his counsel], the claimant has the benefit of a confidential agreement and 'should not have to forego that confidentiality to bring his claim'. But this only raises the question in response, why not?
"Whilst the court may use its powers to afford protection for information whose release into the public might cause harm, for example by the use of confidentiality clubs or specifically tailored hearings, this will have to be justified by the circumstances and should be as narrowly used as possible.
"The existence of an obligation of confidence, per se, does not shift the balance. Confidential documents are still subject to disclosure…
"In my view, the mere fact that the deed contains a confidentiality provision from which, it is said, the claimant would like to benefit, does not begin to justify the relief sought."
The judge also observed that the claimant's draft order only sought to withhold the identity of the claimant, the owner and the company, rather than uphold the confidential terms of the deed.
This would not achieve "the maintenance of the rights said to support the application".
Further, it was not even clear or established that the claimant would or would likely breach the terms of the confidentiality clause.
Mr Beltrami QC nonetheless retained the anonymity in his ruling as it was "unnecessary" to use the names "for the resolution of the issues before me".

Information technology job postings are on the rise.
Here's one more indicator that the nascent economic recovery may be for real: The number of job postings in Manhattan in the information technology industry jumped 18% in the first quarter of 2010, compared to the year-ago period, according to the Pace/SkillProof IT Index Report released Wednesday.
The joint project of Pace University and research firm SkillProof Inc. found that the growth was led by a 60% increase in openings for systems analysts and a more than 30% increase in demand for computer programmers. The category of "other computer specialists" was up by 24%.
Altogether, job openings for nine of the 11 information technology categories tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics rose over last year. Demand for both computer support professionals and database administrators was down, though by less than 1%.
The report does not break out the number of job postings for Manhattan. For the New York metro area, which includes the five boroughs, Long Island, Northern New Jersey and Westchester, there was a daily average of 6,300 job openings for IT professionals in the first quarter.
That is more than double the number in the first quarter a year ago, and 21% more than in the fourth quarter of 2009, according to Henning Seip, president of SkillProof.


I gave you a tour of our loathsome bathroom a while back, remember?
Well, now I can give you a tour of the NEW bathroom, yes, I can! Adam and our friend Joe worked oh-so hard while I was out of town last week, and they truly gave us a brand new room. When I'm soaking in the tub and gazing around at the view, I don't even feel like I'm in the same room.
That's a before-and-after of the vanity area.
Below is a before-and-after of the corner near the vanity.
We haven't finished the light fixtures in the room, so right now we only have that floor lamp. I rather like the soft yellow glow it gives everything -- very soothing. But it does take up space. Soon we'll have a light above the vanity and the lamp will go back to the living room.
Oh my goodness, the difference in tubs cannot even be described! The new tub is so very deep. We are great bath-takers and tub-soakers, and this is a feature we will nearly every day. Plus, it's clean and mildew-free, and has a very nice slope for reclining.
I love the new shower surround.
clutter up the vanity top.
Somehow I was able to replace the three huge cabinets and the entire dresser with this narrow shelf unit behind the door -- you hardly know it's there! -- and a little cubby in the other corner. I threw out some stuff, decided to keep my sheets elsewhere, and simply reorganized. I'm so happy with the result: a cleaner, tidier, prettier room.
Many thanks to Adam and Joe for all their hard work! The house is (mostly) put back together, and life as we know it can proceed ... with a bathroom.
That must be a huge relief. There is no joy in using a dilapidated bathroom. I'm glad the floor lamp is temporary. My health and safety brain cells started twitching when I saw it.
It is plugged into a working GFCI circuit.
WooooooW! This is just great! A nice bathroom is a wonderful thing.
Hurray for you! Congrats to Adam and Joe for all of their hard work. It does look lovely.
You've inspired me to finish up some work in my bathroom.
I don't think Glorious! is too strong a word for a new bathroom. I would be thrilled with these changes -- I have a great shower but no tub, because I never wanted one before, but in the last year I have often wished for somewhere to soak. Your remodeling energy is commendable, and your new bathroom is a small but important reward.
Wow what a difference. It looks great.
Oh, this is so nice! I am a tub lover, too.
Wow, what a change! It looks wonderful! The tub is splendid. We have a deep soaking tub too and it's sure nice when you don't feel good or your muscles ache. I also noticed that your shower has a hand-held sprayer. OH I love mine. So nice for so many things -- especially cleaning the shower/tub.
Well done, Adam and Joe.


Nowadays, when I mention that I'm an introvert to someone, they can't help but let out a short laugh. More than a couple people have called me a social butterfly recently.
My senior year in high school, a friend's mother was having us play a charades game where you're given a description of yourself and act it out as the other people in the church group tried to guess. Mine was wallflower. And maybe it's a testament to how much of a wallflower I am when I say I had no idea what a wallflower was, let alone how to act it out.
I had this friend, J—, who had transferred in that year. He has that sort of natural good looks and handsome charm that girls just go for, but had the misfortune of being placed in our top math class.
I think we only became friends because one day in class I was really tired and started to rub my eyes in a manner he thought funny. My recovery was saying that this was an ancient oriental secret and he should start rubbing his eyes that way also and then he'd start getting better grades in the class. Sure, a side effect is that his eyes might change and his hair might darken like mine, but it'd be worth it.
Now maybe someone might say that I've just changed or it's a-social-fish-in-a-geek-pool thing, but I don't feel any different and I've always been a geek. So when someone at work pointed out that they once heard that introversion/extroversion was about "how you recharge your batteries," it started to make sense.
Extroverts recharge their batteries in social settings. Introverts recharge their batteries alone.
If I am a "social butterfly" than this social butterfly needs to go back into his cocoon. For me, there is nothing more refreshing than losing a day to a book you couldn't put down. There is nothing more productive then sneaking into work on a Saturday or Sunday when nobody is there. (Heck, I'm blogging this because I know nobody is reading this. 😀 ) And when "my batteries are low," you'll probably see me at a party standing against the wall, pretending to mess with my iPhone.
Lately I've been recharging by playing WoW and reading Harry Potter. God, I'm such a nerd.
@Morgan: I read Harry Potter 7 over vacation. I'd have reread the series but I have work.
By reading terrychay.com, why of course – what else?
I must admit I've got myself the habit of recharging by watching TV-series, but that's counter productive as they lure me in and make me spend more time watching TV instead of working.
Trying to pick up running instead, but that drains my batteries a lot more than it recharges them. But hopefully that will improve given enough time.
So for now, back to the original idea – reading terrychay.com..

It is time for GSA to move ahead announce a new nationally-scoped training and show event. The agency is not only harming its customers, but its contractors and itself by continuing a years-long exercise of introspective naval gazing on this issue. Nothing speaks louder than the facts, so here are a few that should make the decision to hold such an even an open and shut case.
Unprecedented Demand for Training: It's been over 2 years since GSA held a specialized show in Huntsville, Alabama to train DOD users on how to properly use GSA Schedule and other contracts. Those sessions were totally sold out, with thousands receiving the training they needed to make sound, correct acquisition decisions. GSA has ramped up its on-line training considerably for both government and industry. The demand for training has likely never been higher. With the Air Force, DHS, and other agencies scrapping their own contracts in favor of GSA-based vehicles, demand for training will only accelerate. In-person training creates relationships and offers better opportunities for interaction than the most sophisticated on-line tools allow. Even in this age of technology, there is sometimes no substitute for actually being there, especially when it comes to greeting new customers.
Over a Thousand New Schedule Contract Holders: A conservative estimate is that well over 1,000 companies are new to the Schedules program since the last GSA Expo was held. We've taught a lot of Schedule training classes recently and, when asked whether they ever attended an Expo, approximately 90% of the class did not know what that was. There are new people who need training on the industry side, in addition to the government. As one our recent students put it, "we don't know what we don't know" about GSA.
New Contracts, Solutions, and Technology: Those new contractors brought new solutions with them. GSA has created dozens of new Special Item Numbers that either offer new solutions that didn't previously exist or were difficult to find. Outside the Schedules, the last time the agency held a show there was no OASIS program, no EIS telecommunications contract, and an Alliant program that is nothing like what it is now. Without a show, GSA's customers may well believe that there is nothing new to see. That's a little like a car dealer still promoting its 2012 line-up.
GSA leaders were reportedly considering a show for 2019, but got cold feet. The time to launch a show for 2020 is right now. GSA Administrator Emily Murphy commands substantial respect, even though she was buffeted by Congressional oversight committees last week. She has a tremendous opportunity to lead the agency forward and not let the past define the agency's future. Indeed, failing to act now opens the agency to future allegations that it is not doing enough to ensure that customers and contractors know how to effectively do business with GSA.


MONTGOMERY – Governor Kay Ivey has issued a State of Emergency effective at 6:00 a.m. Sunday, May 27, 2018, for several Alabama counties in preparation for Subtropical Storm Alberto. The counties included are as follows: Autauga, Baldwin, Barbour, Bibb, Bullock, Butler, Chambers, Chilton, Choctaw, Clarke, Coffee, Conecuh, Coosa, Covington, Crenshaw, Dale, Dallas, Elmore, Escambia, Geneva, Greene, Hale, Henry, Houston, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Marengo, Mobile, Monroe, Montgomery, Perry, Pickens, Pike, Russell, Sumter, Tallapoosa, Tuscaloosa, Washington and Wilcox.
According to the NWS, Alberto will soon become a Tropical Storm, and the track has shifted a bit further east. However, significant impacts are still expected in Alabama beginning today near the coast and lasting into the middle of next week. Widespread 3-7 inches of rain will occur with 6-12 inches closer to the coast. Some locations could see 10 -15 inches. These amounts will lead to extremely serious flash and river flooding. There is also a prolonged tornado threat for much of the state beginning near the coast on Sunday and lasting into at least Tuesday night in north Alabama.
At the direction of Governor Ivey, the State Emergency Operations Center in Clanton has been activated since Friday in preparation for Alberto and The Alabama National Guard (ALNG) has activated its High Water Evacuation Teams (HWET) to support Divisions A and B, in the coastal and southeastern portion of the state. Both Divisions, A and B, will activate Sunday morning. The ALNG soldiers will also provide support in the command and control center.
By declaring a State of Emergency, Governor Ivey is directing the appropriate state agencies to exercise their statutory authority to assist the communities and entities impacted by Subtropical Storm Alberto.
The State of Emergency will be effective at 6:00 a.m. Sunday.

Q: AFNetworking sends Get instead of POST -(void)uploadUserImageWithUIImage:(UIImage *)image
{
    UIImage *imageTanya = [UIImage imageNamed:@"1.jpg"];
    AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *m = [[AFHTTPRequestOperationManager alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/yyyyyy/filesService.svc/"]];
    NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(imageTanya, 0.5);
    AFHTTPRequestOperation *op = [m POST:@"UploadFile" parameters:nil constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
        //do not put image inside parameters dictionary as I did, but append it!
        [formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:@"1" fileName:@"1.jpg" mimeType:@"image/jpeg"];
    } success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"Success: %@ ***** %@ **** %@", operation.responseString, responseObject, operation.request.URL.absoluteString);
    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"Error: %@ ***** %@", operation.responseString, error);
    }];
    [op start];
}

while sending request POST it changed into GET because AFNetworking send wrong path when server redirect it method has changed into get
the wrong path  : "http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/UploadFile HTTP/1.1"
when i have created a new project it works fine but in my project it gives me this error
-Xcode Version 5.1
- AFNetworking 2.0

A: Try this :
m POST:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.mohamedaspnet.com/Nazzelha/filesService.svc/%@", @"UploadFile"] ....

Sorry somehow I don't get what the problem is, and if you are looking for to POST to an URL, but the server will redirect it to another URL, for example, http://domain.com/abc ==> 301 ==> http://domain.com/def, then what you are expecting is to POST to http://domain.com/def actually, you should look at this thread AFNetworking: setRedirectResponseBlock inside my class NSURLResponse always return null value

According to the documentation for the corresponding delegate method,
  connection:willSendRequest:redirectResponse::
The delegate can receive this message as a result of modifying a
  request before it is sent, for example to transform the request's URL
  to its canonical form. To detect this case, examine redirectResponse;
  if it is nil, the message was not sent due to a redirect.

A: *

*Your request is handled by the Foundation URL Loading System, and is not an AFNetworking issue.

*You should delete this line, since the POST:… method you're calling already enqueues the operation:
 [op start];

*Check the type of redirect your server is sending.  If it's sending HTTP 303, RFC 2616 mandates that the request type should be changed to GET. It should be sending HTTP 307. See 3xx Redirection and make sure you're using the correct status code.

CBS producer pleads not guilty to trying to blackmail Letterman
Robert Joel "Joe" Halderman charged with attempted grand larceny
"48 Hours" producer has been suspended from duties at CBS
Host says someone threatened to reveal sexual relations unless he paid $2 million
Letterman's dalliances predated his marriage, Worldwide Pants says
Next Article in Entertainment »
NEW YORK (CNN) -- A CBS producer accused of trying to extort $2 million from "Late Show" host David Letterman pleaded not guilty Friday in a Manhattan courtroom.
Robert Joel Halderman pleads not guilty Friday to first-degree attempted grand larceny.
The producer, Robert Joel "Joe" Halderman, 51, of Norwalk, Connecticut, allegedly told Letterman last month that he would disclose Letterman's dalliances with his show's staffers unless he paid the money.
Halderman is charged with first-degree attempted grand larceny. He has been suspended from his CBS job.
Prosecutors at his arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court had sought $500,000 bail, calling Halderman a flight risk.
"The evidence is compelling," Assistant District Attorney Judy Salwen told the court. It shows that Halderman was trying to "destroy" Letterman's reputation and "humiliate his family," she said. Watch to learn more about Halderman »
"The defendant was desperate and willing to do anything," Salwen added, saying Halderman was in debt.
Defense attorney Gerald Shargel said his client has worked at CBS for 27 years and has two children, ages 11 and 18.
After the arraignment, Shargel said he believed that Halderman would post the bond and said Halderman denies the allegations. Halderman was seen in a car pulling away from the courthouse after the hearing.
"This story is far more complicated than what you heard this afternoon," the lawyer said, without elaborating. "It's not the open and shut case you just heard about."
Shargel said Halderman has "an impeccable reputation" and has never before been in trouble with the law. He said he expected to take the case to trial.
'Sextortion' is latest high-profile issue for Letterman
Read the indictment against Halderman
Documents filed in Stamford Superior Court in Connecticut show that Halderman was required to pay about $6,800 a month in child and spousal support to his ex-wife. Prosecutors declined to say whether Halderman had financial problems or other motives.
Earlier Friday, Shargel said he met with his client briefly at the jail.
"He is not dispirited," the lawyer said. "We're prepared to fight this case."
Halderman told Letterman in a proposed script that his "world was about to collapse around him" unless he received $2 million, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said.
The one-page "screenplay treatment," which was attached to a letter, referred to Letterman's great professional success and his "beautiful and loving son," Morgenthau said at a news conference. The contents of the letter were not revealed at the briefing.
A screenplay treatment is similar to an outline. It describes the proposed plot and subplots, character interactions and tone of a story, such as a melodrama or romance.
Letterman acknowledged on his show Thursday night that he'd had sexual relations with members of his staff and that he revealed those liaisons during grand jury testimony for a case involving an attempted extortion.
A representative for Letterman's production company, Worldwide Pants Inc., said Friday that the relationships Letterman referred to "when discussing the matter on the Late Show predated his marriage" to longtime partner Regina Lasko. The couple, who have been together since 1986, wed in March. They have a son, Harry, 5.
Morgenthau said Letterman gave Halderman, a producer for the CBS news magazine "48 Hours," a $2 million check Wednesday, and Halderman deposited it in a bank account in Connecticut. He was arrested Thursday outside CBS offices, the district attorney said.
Halderman's uncle, Richard Smith, told CNN's "Situation Room" that he last spoke to his nephew late Tuesday.
"We could tell that he was slightly down," Smith said. "He wasn't his normal, bubbly, cheerful self. He sounded very tired."
Smith described Halderman as a "very loving individual" who "loved his job with CBS."
Halderman could face five to 15 years in prison if convicted. Morgenthau said the alleged extortion incidents were carried out between September 9 and September 30.
According to the indictment, Halderman waited outside Letterman's Manhattan home at 6 a.m. September 9 to deliver the letter and other materials. Letterman said on his show that he saw the package when he went out to his car to leave for work.
Halderman said he needed to "make a large chunk of money" by selling Letterman the "screenplay treatment," Morgenthau said.
The materials from Halderman also said Letterman's "world was about to collapse around him" if the information on his private life was unveiled, leading to a "ruined reputation." The letter asked Letterman to meet with Halderman that day to make a deal, Morgenthau said.
He said Letterman, who had reported the alleged extortion to his attorney and the district attorney's office, met with Halderman several times. The last two meetings were audiotaped.
"The message of this indictment should be clear. New York City will not tolerate the coercion or extortion of anyone, be the victim rich or poor, famous or anonymous," Morgenthau said. "The law prohibits conduct like the defendant's and attaches severe penalty to it. We intend to enforce the law."
Letterman told his audience that he testified before the grand jury Thursday, "something I've never done in my life."
"I had to go downtown to testify before the grand jury" and "tell them all of the creepy things that I've done," referring to his sexual dalliances. Watch Letterman say he slept with members of his staff »
"I have had sex with women who work on this show," he said. "Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Perhaps it would, especially for the women."
"I feel like I need to protect these people; I need to certainly protect my family," Letterman said. "I need to protect myself ... hope to protect my job."
"It's been a very bizarre experience," Letterman said in closing. "I don't plan to say much more about this."

The Meg 2: Ben Wheatley teases insanely large scale of the sequel
Ben Wheatley may not necessarily be the first person to jump to mind when you're looking for someone to helm your giant prehistoric shark movie, but it was announced last fall that the Rebecca director would be helming the sequel to THE MEG.
The first film was directed by Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure) and starred Jason Statham as Jonas Taylor, an expert deep-sea rescue diver who is recruited to save the crew of a submersible that has been attacked by a Megalodon, a massive prehistoric creature thought to have been extinct. Despite the mixed reviews, The Meg was a box-office success as it grossed over $530 million worldwide, so talk of a sequel quickly emerged. Plot details surrounding the sequel are being kept under wraps, but Ben Wheatley spoke with ComicBook.com recently to tease his plans for the upcoming film.
A lot of it is respecting The Meg, and trying to make sure it's a great Meg film… It's an opportunity to do action on such an insanely large scale, that it's just unbelievable. From doing Free Fire, which was, I thought, was all my Christmases came at once in terms of action, this is just unbelievable. And just doing the storyboards for it, just thinking and going, 'Oh,' it's just … I feel a heavy responsibility for it, to make sure that it kind of delivers on all the, to all the big shark fans out there.
RELATED: The Meg sequel to be directed by Rebecca's Ben Wheatley
Many of the key talents involved with the first film are expected to return for The Meg sequel, including Jason Statham, who is said to be creatively involved this time around. An initial draft of the sequel was written by Dean Georgaris, with Jon and Erich Hoeber now in the process of crafting the screenplay. The three writers also wrote the script for the first film. Although I enjoyed The Meg more than I expected, it still felt a little forgettable at the end of the day, but if Ben Wheatley is able to go ball-to-the-wall crazy with the sequel, I'll definitely be there to watch it. What are you hoping to see in The Meg sequel?


Sharing what's on his mind is what Portland Press Herald columnist Bill Nemitz does for a living. Sometimes though, it takes more than words to get people to pay attention. Telling everyone over 50, for instance, that they really need to have a colonoscopy. It can prevent colon cancer.
You know you should schedule one, but you've heard that the stuff you have to drink for the prep is awful and that you never get to bed because you're on the toilet all night long. And when the doctor moves that scope around inside you it hurts like hell. So, instead of making the appointment, you procrastinate.
Well Bill, who's 58, had his first colonoscopy about seven years ago and thought it wasn't bad at all. When he had his second one this week, he graciously allowed a few people along, myself included, to document his experience.
What none of us expected as we chatted before the procedure was that it might be his own life that he saved.
Remember. If Bill can do it, why can't you?
As Dr. Morse snaked the scope up and around Bill's colon, there were a few little corners and turns he had to maneuver. Bill said he didn't feel a thing. The nurse had given him a mild sedative before things got underway and it obviously worked just fine. Sometimes, people don't even remember the procedure at all. Those of us who are telling Bill's story are making sure that he doesn't forget anything!
How about it all of you people who have turned 50? Will you follow in Bill's footsteps and schedule your colonoscopy? If you want more information about colon cancer or don't have health insurance and need financial help, visit the ScreenMe! web site, a project of the Maine CDC's Colorectal Cancer Control Program. While you're at it, check out Nona's story. She's a colon cancer survivor.
Finally, thank you Bill, for sharing your experience. You may have saved quite a few lives.

Patna: In Bihar, complete prohibition is imposed on Alcohol. As per the law in the state, Illegal sale or consumption of alcohol comes under the category of serious offense. However it looks like it is causing some major side effects after the liquor ban in Bihar; some people are shifting their addiction to dangerously alternative syrup. As per information, in addition to Ganja, Charas and opium, the use of phensidyl syrup, also known as cough syrup is being done widely. This was highlighted when the RPF team raided the Upper India Express and recovered a huge quantity of syrup. In the late evening. Based on a secret information by the Railway Police and the Department of Excise, 17 packets of phensidyl was recovered in the train.
According to the information, the syrup was booked in Varanasi from UP to Patna. Meanwhile, the team was informed that there was a huge amount of Syrup in the luggage bag being transported. There is a plan to bring this syrup into the medicines of Patna. The team examined it and found the information correct. After that the raid was done at Patna station and a large amount of phensidyl was recovered. It may be noted that after the liquor ban in Bihar, smuggling of ganja, heroin and narcotics has increased in the border area. Recently, the Department of Products and other agencies have recovered a large quantity of charas and ganja.
In addition to the product department from West Champaran, Eastern Champaran, Raxaul, Purnia, Kishanganj and other district headquarters, Armed Border Force has recovered the drugs worth billions of rupees so far. According to the local people, the game of trafficking is continuing through courier in districts adjacent to the state border and districts adjacent to Nepal. Alcohol smugglers and drug dealers are making this work done by paying a lot of money.


Save money and conserve water with low-flow toilets.
The Environmental Protection Agency says that an estimated 4.8 billion gallons of water are flushed down the toilet every day. According to the American Water Works Association, the average household uses 20 to 28 gallons per day just to flush the toilet. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 took a step in reducing water waste by mandating that all new toilets produced for residential conform to a 1.6-gallon-per-flush (gpf) standard, moving away from conventional 3.5-gpf to 5-gpf models.
To encourage homeowners to replace conventional toilets with low-flush models, some states and municipalities offer tax incentives, rebates, and vouchers.
San Diego's Water Conservation Program, for example, offers vouchers for commercial and residential replacement of 3.5 gpf or higher toilets with water-conserving models. Residents can save as much as $165 by using a voucher when replacing an old water-hogging toilet with a water-conscious version. A $165 voucher used on a $250 water-efficient toilet can mean payback in as little as two years, depending on the region. A homeowner should check into local or state incentives for toilet replacement.
The first low-flush (1.6 gpf) models had trouble clearing the bowl, often requiring more than one flush, which defeats the purpose of a low-flush toilet. To counter these complaints, ultra-low-flush toilets (ULFTs) soon appeared on the market with improved flushing-mechanisms and design improvements. Modified tanks, elongated bowls, and increased flushing velocity ensured improved performance using less water. "It was essentially a change in bowl shape, water flow, and trap design," says Rob Zimmerman, Kohler's Senior Staff Engineer of Water Conservation Initiatives.
The toilet industry's leaders in water conservation are the high-efficiency toilets (HET) and dual-flush toilets. The industry defines an HET as a toilet that uses 20 percent less than the 1.6-gpf low-flush or ultra-low-flush models, or 1.28 gallons of water per flush.
With the introduction of HETs, some municipal and community water-saving incentive programs have updated their incentive offers. In San Diego, an HET replacement can be worth up to $165 per toilet, while a 1.6-gpf ULFT earns $75 per fixture. HETs are one of the highlighted categories under the EPA's new WaterSense program, which approves, promotes, and labels water-efficient products just as the Energy Star program certifies energy-efficient products.


He slammed on the breaks and stared, wide eyed, out of the windshield as the mist danced around in the headlights. He was sure he couldn't have missed it. He thought about taking off, someone else could deal with it. But the nagging of his Conscience kept him parlayed as he wrestled with him self to take off.
There was a sudden blaring off a horn, and another set of headlights suddenly blazed into life in his rearview mirror and then… He knew no more.

Q: jQuery blur event with ID and value I want to use the 'blur' event in the jQuery text plugin.
http://jqueryte.com
$ ('textarea'). jqte ({
blur: function (elem) {
// ID textarea?
// Content editor?
}
});

The function of the blur, I would like to determine the content and the ID of the textarea.
Can you help me with an idea?

A: Since it doesn't look like the blur event is passing any arguments to the callback you might have to do something like

$("textarea").each(function(idx, elem) {
  $(this).jqte({

Thompson Hine Again Secures First-Tier Rankings in "Best Law Firms"


Known for her beauty, style, grace and acting excellence, Belle Mingle Archer was one of the most photographed women in America in the 1890s. She was one of seven daughters born to James L. and Mary Elizabeth Mingle of Easton, PA. Her acting career began when she was in her mid-teens, after the family had moved to Philadelphia. She performed first under the name of Belle MacKenzie, but used her married name of Archer even after her divorce from a fellow actor of that name.
Her big chance came in 1898 when the star of the play "A Contented Woman" died and Belle assumed her role. Three years later while she was performing throughout the country, tragedy struck. On Sunday September 16, 1900, while waiting to change trains at a station in New York state, Belle tripped on a broken board on the platform and sustained a serious head injury. Seemingly all right she continued on her journey but sadly, died three days later.
Easton mourned her passing; the town considered her a native daughter. She was transported back to Easton by the Lehigh Valley Railroad where her coffin was personally met by the Easton mayor, B. Rush Field, along with countless other local admirers.
Her funeral was held in the Chapel of Easton Cemetery. She was buried, although not on the day of her funeral as planned. The gravediggers unexpectedly hit rock and were unable to finish the grave in time for the services. In 1901, a granite marker, including a distinctive medallion with her likeness on it and an epitaph, was placed at her grave.

Democrats to Seat Burris?
Alex Wong / Getty Images
A day after denying Roland Burris the opportunity to enter the 111th Congress, Democrats in the Senate appear ready to change their tune on Wednesday. The Associated Press reports they now plan to seat the former Illinois state legislator as President-elect Barack Obama's replacement. The news came after Burris met with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Majority Whip Dick Durbin, though Democratic aides deny a decision was made. "There's a growing sense that there is a prety flimsy basis to deny what is clearly a legal appointment," Sen. Russ Feingold said. Controversy surrounded Burris' appointment because it was made by disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who is accused of trying to sell Obama the Senate seat.

Typical geotechnical section plot appears empty!
Home » Typical geotechnical section plot appears empty!
The first thing you must always do immediately after you import your CPT data into CPeT-IT is to set the axes scales on the plots, specifically the Y axis. By default all plots have set the axis scale to automatic which does not help on the overall appearance. More ever, plots on the various add-on modules look at the Corrected Cone Resistance, qt plot and use the axes scales of that plot but when the Y axis scale is set to automatic, the software has a small difficulty to present some plots correctly although data are available (plots look like they are empty).
To set the axes scales is very easy as described here. For the Y axis scale just click on any plot Y axis, set the desired minimum and maximum values, check the Apply to all plots option and click OK, that's it!
My hand calculations do not much software calculations!

Q: Does Apache Camel work only with Apache CXF or Spring-WS? I am trying to work on a PoC to replace an IBM WESB Proxy mediation (Exposed as a web service, Receives the soap request, Invokes different other Web Services based on the Soap Header passed in the request).
These web services are built using JAX-RPC and Spring framework running in WAS 7 container.
Is it possible to use Camel for this usecase? I don't want to migrate the underlying web services to CXF or SpringWS yet.
Does Camel have any URI's to solve this purpose? (like a web service adapter to call other non-CXF/non-SpringWS web services)
Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

A: First thing - If it is a RPC /ENCODED web service then you CANNOT call it even with cxf.There are ways that you can modify the rpc wsdl to use doc/literal but I would not suggest using that approach.
The simplest way to do this if you do not want to use cxf component or spring-ws is to create a java bean to invoke the Axis web service using the generated stubs.

Community Thanked for Marysville Fund-Raising
The Coffs Harbour community has been thanked for its generosity today at a ceremony to mark the opening of MiRA – the new Marysville Information + Regional Artspace – in Victoria which was built using funds donated following the devastating Black Saturday Bushfires of 2009.
Shortly after the scale of the disaster became known, Coffs Harbour City Council established an appeal fund at the request of Russell Crowe and with the support of his friend, Australian basketball great Luc Longley.
In total, the 'Russell Crowe, Luc Longley & Coffs Harbour City Council and Community Centre Bushfire Appeal Fund' raised $500,000 for the town of Marysville from members of the Coffs Harbour community and local sporting groups and service clubs.
Since 2009, the Federal Government, Victorian Government, Murrindindi Shire Council and local residents have worked through a number of proposals to find an appropriate and long-term use for the funds. During that time, they have been held in Trust by the Bendigo Bank Community Enterprise Foundation on behalf of Council.
The final result was MiRA – developed in consultation with Murrindindi Shire Council, community arts groups and the Marysville and Triangle Business and Tourism Inc. (MTBT Inc.) – which has transformed the former Rebuilding Advisory Centre into a community and tourism hub that combines a gallery, museum, retail space for local artisan wares and produce and performance and meeting spaces.
As well as the contribution from the Coffs Harbour appeal, funds were provided by the Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund and the Victorian Government. The Victorian Government has also approved funding assistance towards the ongoing operational costs of the Centre.
MiRA was officially opened today and Coffs Harbour Mayor Councillor Denise Knight sent a message on behalf of the Coffs Harbour community in which she wished the people of Marysville the best for the future.
"This is not a time for looking back, but a time for looking forward and celebrating the opening of the Marysville Information + Regional Artspace," the message reads.
"All those from the Coffs Harbour community who donated to the 'Russell Crowe, Luc Longley & Coffs Harbour City Council Community Centre Bushfire Appeal Trust' will be delighted to know that they have contributed to the establishment of what will be an exciting and vibrant space for your community and visitors.
"Marysville was forever changed in 2009: it will never be the same community it was before the fires, but it is now a new community and one that is characterised by resilience and togetherness."

The Supreme Court of New Jersey recently ruled that special needs trusts for the benefit of adult disabled child(ren) instead of a child support obligation should not be rejected if it was created for the children's best interests.
Although the decision in J.B. v.W.B. affirmed the Lower Court's decision that a proposed special needs trust for a 25 year-old autistic son living in a group home lacked sufficient detail as to how it was in the child's best interests, the Court provided much needed clarification as to what information is required.
First and foremost a Marital Settlement Agreement that does not provide for a special needs trust instead of a child support obligation is not prohibitive. A party can seek to modify their Marital Settlement Agreement to substitute a special needs trust in lieu of child support by filing a Motion in the Family Part outlining a detailed plan regarding how the trust will be in the child's best interest. The Motion must clearly address the "current physical, psychological, educational, vocational, and recreational needs of the child." The Motion must also address any and all costs associated with supporting the child's needs. If the plan includes government benefits, the plan must include eligibility rules for those benefits, a timeline to be approved for the benefits, and an anticipated timeline on how long it will take to receive the benefits after approval.
Also, the plan must propose a way to meet the child's current expenses without affecting their eligibility for benefits. Finally the plan must outline the terms and conditions for disbursement of the corpus of the trust and designate a trustee.
If you currently have a child support obligation and would like to create a special needs trust in lieu of child support, it is imperative that you contact an experienced family law attorney.

Psilocybin, Psychedelics
8 Things You Didn't Know About Magic Mushrooms
Spirit Molecule March 12, 2015, 2:00 pm March 3, 2019 0 9035
Below are 8 facts you may or may not have known about Magic Mushrooms. Educating yourself in today's world is the best way to be informed, don't believe the hype, the lies and the misinformation by those who wish to dumb you down, restrict your mind and dull your consciousness. Explore. Learn. Have fun.
Varied Species
Species of Magic Mushrooms
There are roughly 200 species of mushroom that can be classified as 'magic'. Their common ingredient, psilocybin, induces mind-altering effects by forming new neural pathways in the brain. This can result in euphoria, hallucinations, and changed perception of the passage of time. It can also induce nausea and panic attacks.
Magic Mushrooms and The Law
In only three European countries is the possession and cultivation of magic mushrooms fully legal: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Spain, while other countries have slightly more ambiguous attitudes. In the Netherlands, for instance, magic mushrooms themselves are illegal, but a loophole means that the sale of "Magic Truffles" is still widespread.
Magic Mushrooms and Addiction
Magic mushrooms aren't addictive in any chemical sense of the word (although users can become psychologically dependent). In fact, ongoing studies at Johns Hopkins University seem to suggest that psilocybin, which is the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms, may be useful in overcoming nicotine addiction. Other studies suggest that it can also be used to treat anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and headaches.
Long History
History of Magic Mushrooms
As might be expected, tripping on 'shrooms' isn't a recent phenomenon. For thousands of years, they have been widely used in Central America for religious ceremonies. The Aztecs called them teonanacatl, or "flesh of the gods". There is a theory that several Mesolithic rock paintings at Tassili n'Ajjer in Algeria depict the ritual use of mushrooms. Some of these pictures reportedly show mushrooms actually growing out of people, so presumably, the painter had been vigorously engaging with the proceedings.
Father Christmas & Magic Mushrooms
Anthropologist John Rush thinks magic mushrooms gave us Father Christmas. Apparently, Siberian shamans would hand out the hallucinogenic mushroom Amanita muscaria to the region's tribesmen every December. Often the snow was so heavy they couldn't use the door, so would climb down the chimney. Where does that particular type of mushroom grow? In coniferous woodland (i.e. pines, firs etc…). It's red with white spots. Father Christmas wears red and white. The spirit animal of these shamans? Reindeer… it all makes sense now.
Reindeer's and Magic Mushrooms
In keeping with this Christmassy theme, it should also be noted that reindeer are particularly partial to magic mushrooms. Another species known to have experimented is the pygmy goat. In 2010, actress Alexandra Bastedo spoke of how her pet goats ate some hallucinogenic mushrooms growing in their paddock, before proceeding to hallucinate, vomit and grow lethargic. It apparently took them two days to recover.
Stoned Ape Theory
Stoned Ape Theory and Magic Mushrooms
Another magic mushroom hypothesis put forward by American philosopher and psychonaut Terrence McKenna, proposes that mushrooms were crucial in the evolution of humanity. By eating psilocybe cubensis, a species of mushroom often found growing out of cow dung, the homo erectus developed better visual acuity and subsequently became better hunters. There's also some stuff about it acting as an aphrodisiac and accelerating reproduction. In any case, it's called the 'Stoned Ape' theory if you want to look it up.
Magic Mushrooms and Spirituality
One study, again by Johns Hopkins University, looked into the spiritual effects of psilocybin on 36 test subjects. A third said the experience was the most spiritually significant of their lives, while over two-thirds said it was in their top five most significant. On top of that, 79 per cent reported increased well-being in the months following the study.

MEXICO CITY -- Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has been hired to help rid Mexico City of its infamously high rates of kidnappings, robberies and slayings. Giuliani, credited with reducing crime in New York by 65 percent, will work as a paid consultant to the city's government for one year. It will be the first international security project for the former mayor's consultancy group. "The similarities between what Mexico City faces today and what New York City faced in the late '80s and early '90s are striking," Giuliani said.
