Discover Your Client’s Needs, Expectations, and Reasons for the Photo Shoot In addition to learning about your canine subject, you need to learn about your human client. Sometimes, this is even more vital, because the human is the one paying your fee (and humans tend to be a lot harder to please than dogs)! This is another area where it pays to be thorough. Take some time to ask your human client Why she wants this photo shoot. Her reasons may run the gamut from common ones to something extraordinary, like an ailing dog or a new addition to the family. What her goals are for the session. Does she want just one good image for a holiday card? A whole action series? A surprise gift for her husband? If she or her dog have any special needs. Go the extra mile to make sure you understand any specific requests or accommodations and be sure to communicate with her if you can’t meet her requests. Does she have specific ideas in mind? A lot of times, clients don’t. They just want you to do your thing. But sometimes, clients do have ideas of what they want, so make sure you find out what those preconceived ideas are. Also find out whether she wants indoor or outdoor shots, as well as action or posed, or maybe a combination. Ask about special spots or toys she wants you to include. Take time to engage in a discussion (even over e-mail) so you can be best prepared to deliver the product she’s looking for.
Variety Kristen Stewart won't appear in "K-11," her mom's directorial debut, but big brother Cameron Stewart will, Variety's Josh Dickey exclusively reports. It'll be the first film credit for K-Stew's older sibling (no picture available, sorry guys!) but not for his co-stars Goran Visnjic, D.B. Sweeney and Portia Doubleday. The film stars Visnjic as a successful young record producer who wakes up after a three-day binge in a special unit of L.A. County’s Men’s Central Jail that's dedicated to vulnerable prisoners, a place ruled by a viper transsexual. (Cameron Stewart’s role wasn't disclosed). Though there was mass speculation that his kid sister of “Twilight” fame would also play a transgendered character, she is not involved in the project, alas. Shooting started July 18 at locations in Woodland Hills and Hollywood, and has moved on to the now-closed Sybil Brand correctional facility for women in Los Angeles County. via Variety_JLD About 'On the Road' Variety_JLD tweets "I think you'll get that news very soon." Not a big surprise anymore, but CamStew's film debut is wonderful news! Me want to see Bear in a mohawk, too. lol Click here to check out the Vogue Italy mag scans from 2007 that featured Kristen and CamStew.

The talk this week in Google Android news is the removal of XMPP support from the OS. XMPP is the “extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, an open, XML-inspired protocol for near-real-time, extensible instant messaging (IM) and presence information (a.k.a. buddy lists).” (source: Wikipedia) Why is this important? Having a service like XMPP available in the OS means that developers wanting to use this in their applications have to implement it on their own, or include someone else’s install in addition to their application. One of the hottest areas of application development are in instant messaging and location-based services, such as Twitter, BrightKite, Loopt, Jabber, etc. Since this is an extendable protocol, additional abilities like VoIP can be defined and added. If you want more background information, you can read about it on TechCrunchIT here and on Google here. OK, that’s the background of the issue. Here is the political reality. Yes, political. Cell carriers make a lot of money on text messaging, which we all know should cost nothing, like voicemail or a power cord. They charge either per-text or a monthly fee for hundreds, thousands or unlimited texts. I have a teenage niece that sends an estimated 7500 texts a month. That’s 250 a day. More than I send in a year. Think if the cell company were to have this source of extra money impacted by a free, internet based messaging service, well, they would not be happy. If people were to start ditching their texting plans, those contracts would lose a quarter of their value in many cases. For example, my plan is $39 a month for 450 minutes, with a $20 a month unlimited data plan (the iPhone plan, which includes 200 text messages), and $20 more for unlimited text messages. $80 take away $20 is 25% less. If a user has a higher minute plan than this, and since XMPP can support VoIP, there is another potential reason for people to lower their plan minutes, further reducing the value of the contract. What I see is the cell phone companies putting pressure on Google to remove XMPP from Android, to keep these revenue killers from eating away at their contract dollars. Now the dumb thing is that nothing prevents XMPP from being implemented on an Android device. Since it is open source, you can add your own. Where that gets to be a problem is multiple implementations potentially being on the same device for different applications, and not being as resource efficient as it being part of the OS. While discussing this on FriendFeed here, I made the point that if XMPP inclusion is delaying the release of Android, by all means lets get Android released, and add this in a future release of the OS. Yes, this is annoying, and slows down development of applications. But, the competition to Android — iPhone, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Blackberry — are available and growing more users daily. Here’s my comment on FriendFeed: “It [no XMPP in Android] was like printer services (or complete lack thereof) in Windows 3.1. Every program that wanted to print had to implement it on their own, along with drivers for all the different printers. A real mess. But with Windows 95, print services were implemented. If Google is in the position of not being able to release Android for x number of extra months because of a service or three, I say lets get it out ASAP, and get that stuff in a later release of the OS. Babies [and OS's] aren’t born fully grown.” Getting back to the political nub of this story, what needs to happen is for the cell carriers to get over the idea that they should charge individually for services on mobile web devices, and just have a flat rate for internet service, and have everything you need use that the mobile internet connection. Your broadband internet at home doesn’t charge you separately for email, web browsing, iTunes downloads, etc. (not that they don’t want to!) Because the next wave of wireless (like WiMax) is going to kick cell carriers in the hurty places, when you’ll have another means of getting wireless internet. We’ve all seen many examples of trying to hold on to a business model too long that technology is taking away. Get with it and LEAD the charge, don’t try to slow down innovation because it is inconvenient to your way to doing business.

Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bone tissue throughout the body begins to thin and bone density is lost over a period of time. There are no symptoms of osteoporosis during the earliest stages of the disease. Symptoms of the disease in its later stages can include fractures that occur very easily, loss of height, pain or tenderness in the bones, low back pain which is due to fractures in the spinal bones, stopped posture and neck pain which is due to spinal bone fracture. When diagnosed with osteoporosis, treatment methods may include control of the pain caused from the disease, preventing further bone loss, medicines that are designed to strengthen the bones to prevent further fractures and minimizing the risk of falling to prevent further fractures. Preventative measures are often the best course of treatment. There are many ways that you can prevent osteoporosis beginning with lifestyle changes that can help you to preserve your bone mass before the disease strikes. Building strong bones is important at any age, particularly so for women past the age of 30. Osteoporosis prevention is very possible for most patients. Since there currently is no cure for the disease, prevention is the best way to avoid the pain and discomfort that comes along with it. It is important to understand that there is not just one step that will prevent osteoporosis. There are a number of things that you will need to do and you should be certain to practice all of the preventative steps in order to stop the disease before it can do damage to your body. The first thing that you should do to prevent osteoporosis is to ensure that you get the recommended amounts of calcium daily. Calcium is very important in preserving bone density as well as helping the heart, nerves and muscles to function properly. It is recommended that adults under the age of 50 get 1,000 mg of Calcium every day to maintain healthy bones. Those over the age of 50 should get at least 1,200 mg daily. It may be very difficult to get your recommended daily amount of Calcium from your diet alone. Fortunately, there are a number of supplements that can help you to ensure that you are getting your recommended daily amount. Vitamin D is also important in preventing osteoporosis. Vitamin D helps your body to absorb calcium correctly. If you are not getting the daily recommended allowance of vitamin D, your body simply will not absorb the Calcium that you are getting and will take Calcium from your bones in order to support proper functioning of the heart, nerves and muscles. Adults under 50 should get 400 to 800 IU of Vitamin D each day. Those over 50 should get at least 800 to 1,000 IU daily. Vitamin D supplements are readily available and many calcium supplements now have the needed amounts of Vitamin D in them to help the body to better absorb Calcium. Vitamin D can also be found in egg yolks, liver, saltwater fish and fortified milk. Exercise is very important for maintaining healthy bones and an overall healthy lifestyle. If you are inactive, your bones will be weak and will fracture much more easily. Exercises recommended for the prevention of osteoporosis include many weight bearing exercises like dancing, jogging, walking and many racquet sports such as tennis and racquet ball. These exercises are crucial for helping you to build stronger bones and protect yourself from fractures. Women in menopause are often advised by their doctors to begin weight bearing exercises in order to reduce the risks of Osteoporosis. There are many medications that can aid in osteoporosis prevention as well. These medications are used to prevent as well as treat the disease. Your doctor will have more information about the various medications that are available and which one will be best for your individual needs. A Bone Mineral Density test or BMD test will be performed to check your risk for Osteoporosis if your doctor feels it is needed. This test is the only way to diagnose the disease and determine your specific risk for bone loss or future fractures. Early diagnosis of the disease is crucial in preserving bone density. The BMD test will measure your bone mass or density and determine your need for medications or other preventative measures that will help you to preserve or rebuild your bone mass. A BMD test is very accurate and is completely painless.

Monday, February 18, 2013 How Big is Google Maps? Recently the Google Maps API added the option to allow polygon shapes on Google Maps to be set to draggable. If the polygon property is set to true, the user can then drag the shape over the map. Google created a popular game, they called Mercator Puzzle, to demo the new draggable polygon option. The game set the geodesic property of the polygons to true, which means the game provides a great insight into the Mercator projection. It is very noticeable in the game how the polygons resize as you drag north and south on the map. How big is Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania? also makes use of draggable polygons with the geodesic property of the polygons set to true. In this case it allows the user to drag a polygon of Lake Tanganyika around on Google Maps and see how it compares in size when placed over other locations. The app comes with all the code so you can create your own example using shape files of other locations. The effect is very similar to (and is even called a 'customisable mimic' of) the BBC's Dimensions project How Big Really?. The BBC Dimensions projects allows you to move polygons of important places and events around on Google Maps and overlay them on other locations to help give you a sense of scale of these locations.

[The post has been updated.] A wonderful surprise arrived in my email account a couple days ago. Behold the very first fully authenticated Purveyor of an Honest Pint: Hot Lips Pizza. In accordance with the certification process, Hot Lips has sent in a photo with the glass, the amount of beer poured out of that glass, and a clearly-recognizeable shot of the establishment: It's worth noting that Hot Lips has a great taplist. I work a couple blocks from the downtown outlet, and though they only have a half-dozen taps, they're extremely well-selected. - SE Hawthorne at 22nd - Downtown/PSU, SW 6th and Hall - Pearl District, NW 10th and Irving - Civic, SW 18th and Morrison - 33rd & Killingsworth Update. My able web professional SM has updated the official website for the Honest Pint Project. As I get officially certified pubs online, I'll include the certifying photograph on the site, as is the case with Hot Lips. These photos serve as authentication in the case a certification is ever contested.

Maxim Lott of Fox News has an interesting article drawing attention to the co-opting of US Department of Energy funders by CRU and their associates – co-opting in the sense that the US Department of Energy totally failed to ensure that their grant procedures complied with US federal policy for requiring grantees to archive data. In the article, Lott quoted extensively from Jones’ emails between 2007 and 2009 in which he assured correspondents that the US Department of Energy had assured him that he didn’t have to archive data: Making that case in 2009, the then-head of the Research Unit, Dr. Phil Jones, told colleagues repeatedly that the U.S. Department of Energy was funding his data collection — and that officials there agreed that he should not have to release the data. “Work on the land station data has been funded by the U.S. Dept of Energy, and I have their agreement that the data needn’t be passed on. I got this [agreement] in 2007,” Jones wrote in a May 13, 2009, email to British officials, before listing reasons he did not want them to release data. Two months later, Jones reiterated that sentiment to colleagues, saying that the data “has to be well hidden. I’ve discussed this with the main funder (U.S. Dept of Energy) in the past and they are happy about not releasing the original station data.” A third email from Jones written in 2007 echoes the idea: “They are happy with me not passing on the station data,” he wrote. I was contacted by Lott and drew his attention to correspondence in 2005 between Warwick Hughes and the US Department of Energy, which was reported at CA in October 2005 here. Earlier in February 2005, Jones had famously refused Warwick Hughes as follows: Even if WMO agrees, I will still not pass on the data. We have 25 or so years invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it. There is IPR to consider In my October 2005 post, I reported Hughes’ email to Tom Boden of the US Department seeking Jones’ data, together with Boden’s response advising Hughes that the terms of Jones’ grant did not require him to provide the funding agency with the data. Curiously, in the early 1990s, under earlier Department of Energy contracts, Jones had provided the US Department of Energy with a complete station data base which was published online by the DOE. (The University of East Anglia has never provided any theory of how alleged confidentiality agreements from the 1980s remained “actionable” given that Jones had either not been prevented by these agreements from providing station data to the US Department of Energy for their online publication or had done so without complaint by the NMSs at the time.) The October 2005 post is well worth re-reading as it reviews US federal policy which would appear to have required the DOE to ensure that grantee CRU archived data. It also quotes policy from UNFCCC which also clearly required NMSs to have ensured that a system for archiving station data was established. The position of Nature and other defenders of CRU as justified due to elusive confidentiality agreements entails that IPCC participants who rely on these supposed agreements have failed to live up to these UNFCCC obligations. In my opinion, Jones, in his capacity as IPCC AR4 Coordinating Lead Author, ought to have reported such NMS consent refusals to IPCC participants as breaches of UNFCCC commitments. Jones’ failure to do so is hard to separate from his expressed desire as CRUtem proprietor to prevent critics (for reasons that remain unclear) from examining this data. In my October 2005 post, I wondered at the tactical wisdom (from the Team’s standpoint) at obstructing access to this (and other) data, noting then (as on numerous subsequent occasions) that I did not necessarily anticipate large changes in the temperature history, but equally, given the wide public interest, why the record should not be made available for scrutiny.
I have attended a fair amount of events this past year; from Fashion for Paws to the seasonal soirées thrown by the men of the Capital Club, to the many trunk shows and galas in the greater metropolitan area. All have been wonderful and a stylish little feast for my fashion corresponding eyes in their own right, but none have met the sartorial magnitude of last Saturday’s Meridian Ball. Greeted by the twinkle of miniature lanterns suspended from the entry way trees of the Meridian House, surrounded by a sea of gowns and fur, I suspected my night would be more eventful than my usual “Picks” assignments, and it undoubtedly was. And now, a look back at the absolute glamour of the evening with the ten best dressed of the night: Friday, May 24 We sat down with Anne Pasternak for a few questions about Creative Time's past and future, as well as the importance of having an awareness about public art in the city.

The almost-invisible Mrs. R. C. Flannigan has been causing me some grief—research grief. I can’t seem to be able to let her past alone. Why was she called “Haessly” in some records, yet “Hurley” in the marriage index? I asked that question out loud yesterday, and thankfully a reader related to this Flannigan line came to my rescue. Connie Martel, a descendant of Richard and Patrick’s brother John—whom we’ve yet to research here—sent me, among other items, an excerpt from a private family publication she had received from a Hurley family researcher. According to this person’s research, Anna was born in Wisconsin around 1858—1859 according to the 1860 census—in a household in Outagamie County which turns out to be right next door to her mother's own parents. Sometime after her father’s death (possibly by 1865) her mother moved the young family to Marquette, Michigan. Although I am not able to find any online record of the marriage, Anna’s mother, the former Margaret McGillan, married Timothy Hurley, Senior, a widower living in Marquette. While in Marquette, according to this researcher, Anna served as school teacher for several years up until the time of her marriage to Richard Flannigan—which marriage, incidentally, was officiated by Richard’s brother, the recently ordained Catholic Priest, Patrick M. Flannigan. The fact that the marriage index showed Anna’s maiden name as Hurley may have been a nod to her step-father, either as a gesture to honor him, or as an indication that he may actually have adopted her. However, in later-life records, Mrs. Flannigan sometimes was listed as the former "Miss Anna Haessly." The name Haessly, admittedly not a common surname here in the United States, has appeared in some census records as attributed to Prussia or Germany—most likely reflecting the political status of the country at the time of each census. One researcher whose material is available at Rootsweb shows the point of origin of this family line to be Baden-Württemberg in Germany. Another online discussion of the surname’s origin links it to the German spelling Häßle, which understandably suffered a number of spelling permutations once it hit American shores. Another facet of the name-change story is what had become of Anna’s mother, Margaret. While Anna’s father was listed as Nathan Haessly—admittedly for which there is no substantiating documentation available that I can find—and her (possibly) adoptive father was noted as Timothy Hurley, Senior, what of Anna's mother, Margaret? I can find no records confirming family traditions regarding her difficult, twice-widowed course. Thinking to find the evidence with Margaret’s own death certificate, I uncover yet a third husband: a Mr. Cooney, who has left Margaret thrice-widowed by departing before Margaret’s own demise in 1902. Seeing that 1902 death certificate reminded me that I had already seen the Cooney surname before: in Richard and Anna’s residence for the 1900 U. S. Census, proving once again that this family has got me running in circles.

Hung up on Frank Frank Quattrone's mistrial says more about the Valley than the man. (FORTUNE Magazine) – The obstruction of justice trial of Frank Quattrone, the preeminent investment banker of the Internet era, ended with a hung jury in late October. That is the story of the IPO frenzy in a nutshell: Billions were made and lost in a fevered rush for IPO favors, but we have still not figured out how to apportion the blame. The irony of the trial is that the files Quattrone stood accused of encouraging his employees to "clean up" may be less damaging to Quattrone--whose reputation is already in tatters--than to the rest of Silicon Valley's aristocracy. It did not take Quattrone to lure them into an ethical morass: When money is being given away, people will come running. Of all the favors Quattrone did for his clients, it's hard to imagine one bigger than shouldering so much of the blame himself. At the trial, prosecutors submitted a list of 203 Credit Suisse First Boston account holders who got IPO shares from Quattrone's technology group. After years of rumors about this "Friends of Frank" list, it has elicited surprisingly little interest: Did anyone even notice eBay's Meg Whitman on the fourth page? Put together, Silicon Valley types on the list, like Whitman and Verisign chief Stratton Sclavos, got 3% to 5% of the stock in Quattrone's IPOs--not insignificant. But what the Friends got was dwarfed by how much was given to some notable venture capitalists and technology moguls who weren't on the list. This group didn't just get small allocations as favors from Quattrone's brokers. The trial showed some of them demanded--and received--a lot more. Take Dell Computer's Michael Dell. As is now known, after lunching with Quattrone in July 2000, Dell e-mailed him to request 250,000 shares of Corvis for Dell Ventures, the company's investing arm. A week later Quattrone e-mailed back to ask how much of the stock should go to Dell Ventures, and how much to MSD Capital Ventures, Michael Dell's personal investment vehicle. Quattrone, rather than running the process, was clearly trying to balance demands from Dell himself and from Dell's personal investment manager. "The last thing I want to do," Quattrone wrote, "is offend anybody as a result of this." Ultimately MSD got 50,000 Corvis shares; they gained $48 on the first day of trading. Another example: In late 1999 a broker in Quattrone's group e-mailed Andy Fisher, Quattrone's IPO allocation expert, to request 25,000 shares of Interwoven, a software company, for a venture capital firm called Foundation Capital. The shares, the broker noted, should be "earmarked for the GPs [general partners] and not for the fund." Translation: Foundation's partners wanted the IPO shares for their personal kitties. Fisher said he would see what he could do but told the broker, "There are a lot of pigs at this trough." In the end, Quattrone appears to be no more than a man extraordinarily adept at navigating a world of blurred ethical boundaries--a world in which virtually everyone does the wrong thing. Obstruction charges aside, how different was he from, say, Goldman Sachs's investment bankers? The list of Goldman's IPO gimmes released last year by Congress--which included Ken Lay, Bill Ford, Yahoo's Jerry Filo, and again Meg Whitman--is far more substantial than the Friends of Frank. And how different were the bankers giving away money from the people taking it? "It's not a shame on a single group," says a competing banker. "It's a shame on everyone." --Mark Gimein

Cracking the Codes A new continuing education course helps construction professionals understand the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code® Keeping up to date with codes can be one of the more daunting tasks of a construction professional. The best in the business not only keep themselves current but also find a way to anticipate what might be coming down the pike in the often complex world of codes and other regulations, especially those that deal with energy efficiency. One set of codesthe 2009 International Energy Conservation Code® (IECC)is gaining particular attention these days. That's because states that accepted federal funds from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), better known as the stimulus package, agreed to adopt the IECC as a condition of receiving funding. Construction professionals working in states that previously had no energy codeor one that was minimal compared to the IECCare now facing significant construction changes with the adoption of this energy code. And even those states (such as Massachusetts) with existing standards are advancing stretch codes related to the efficiency of mechanical systems. At the same time, the interest in green building certification programs, and standards has increased greatly. Construction professionals will need a thorough understanding of the 2009 IECC and related green codes in order to best design and build code-compliant homes. The 2009 IECC can be difficult to navigate for those construction professionals who work with propane-related appliances and systems. The IECC neither discourages nor encourages the use of propane or any other fuel. It does, however offer some advantages for propane. The 2009 code added a requirement that ducts must be tested to meet specific air leakage criteria. This is where ductless systems, such as propane systems for hydronic baseboard and in floor heat, can offer more design flexibility and reduce compliance costs. Propane also plays well with third-party green certification programs, which draw their baselines from established standards such as the IECC and Energy Star. The bottom line is that the 2009 IECC, which will likely be updated and adopted with the release of the 2012 edition in mid- to late-2011, is complicated. To help construction professionals make sense of the code and its implications the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC) is offering a free, online training course. A fact sheet summarizing the main points of the full course will be coming soon to the Research and Insights section of the site.
Mozilla has released the final version of Firefox 13, a faster, smarter version of the popular open source web browser. If you’re already using Firefox you’ll be automatically updated to the latest version the next time you restart your browser. If you’d like to take Firefox 13 for test drive head over to the Firefox download page. Firefox 13 has several improvements over previous releases, but perhaps the best new feature is what’s known as “tabs on demand.” Tabs on demand refers to the way Firefox restarts when you have multiple tabs open. Starting with Firefox 13 the browser takes a smarter approach to re-opening your tabs, only restoring the currently selected tab — background tabs are not loaded. Tabs on demand is a welcome relief for those of us who browse with dozens of tabs open all the time. You no longer need to fear restarting the browser since you won’t have to wait while every tab reloads. Instead, tabs will load only when you select them. Firefox 13 is the first release to support Google’s not-quite-yet-a-standard SPDY protocol out of the box. (Technically the last two Firefox releases have supported SPDY, but this is the first to have it enabled by default.) The SPDY protocol improves on HTTP and in many cases can significantly reduce page load times. SPDY’s other main advantage over HTTP is that all traffic is encrypted. Of course SPDY isn’t just about the browser. Before SPDY can conferred any speed benefits to Firefox users more websites will need to start supporting it. Fortunately some of the web’s largest sites already support SPDY — including many Google properties and, more recently, Twitter — and a SPDY module for the popular Apache web server has been available for some time. Other tricks up Firefox 13′s sleeve include a fancier new tab page that replaces the blank page you see when creating a new tab in Firefox. Like other browsers, Firefox now displays a set of thumbnails on the new tab page with website recommendations based on the most frequently and recently visited pages in Firefox’s history. It looks more or less just like Opera’s Speed Dial, which Chrome also mimics. There’s an option to pin your favorite sites, as well as a button for rejecting sites you don’t want to see. If you’d prefer to stick with the good old blank slate you can turn off the thumbnails by clicking the button in the upper right corner of the new tab page. Firefox’s default Home page gets a slight makeover in this release as well. The Google search field is still there, but there are also now some buttons at the bottom of the page for quickly accessing Downloads, Bookmarks, History, Add-ons, Sync and Settings. While web developers will have to wait for Firefox 15 to get the cool new developer tools we wrote about yesterday, Firefox 13 does offer a couple of nice improvements. For example, the Page Inspector now allows you to lock in CSS pseudo-classes on inspected page elements — handy for checking out what’s happening in a :hover code block. For more details on everything else that’s new in the latest version of Firefox, check out Mozilla’s release notes.

The plan, "Healthy Workers," was developed by local advocacy groups Working Partnerships USA and Santa Clara Family Health Plan and the county-run Santa Clara Valley Health and Hospital System. Healthy Workers is open to those who earn less than $18 per hour and work more than 20 hours per week at businesses with two to 50 employees, Working Partnerships USA spokesman Jody Meacham said. "There are such a great number in our county who are without care," Santa Clara County supervisor Liz Kniss, a registered nurse, said. "This plan will give them the dignity and respect of having health care coverage." Hassem Bordbari, the owner of Barron Park Florist on El Camino Real, said he canceled health insurance for himself and his two employees one year ago because their combined monthly premium reached $2,400. He knows several neighboring shop owners who cannot provide insurance either, he said. "(Health care) in this country is all getting bad, especially when you are getting older. ... We live by the grace of God that nothing happens to us," he said. Bordbari unsuccessfully looked for a cheaper plan when his original plan's costs peaked. He said he wants to do "a lot of research" before forming an opinion on Healthy Workers. But, he said, "Whatever they're going to do is better than what it is now." Under the plan, which debuted last week, employers pay a $150 monthly premium and employees pay a $75 monthly premium. These premiums are roughly half the cost of other comparable plans, Meacham said. Some business owners already provide health insurance to their employees. Jeff Selzer, who runs Palo Alto Bicycles on University Avenue, said his current plan's premiums have increased by 12 to 20 percent per year in recent years. If he did not already offer insurance and adopted Healthy Workers, some of his employees would not qualify due to earning higher than the county plan's minimum. Gillian Robinson, who co-owns the ZombieRunner athletic shop and café on California Avenue, noted Healthy Workers' monthly premium is cheaper than ZombieRunner's current plan's. "The tough part is finding everything that's out there. ... I have a lot to do every day, and if it would require a lot of work for (only) some savings, I don't know," she said. Robinson said she might look into Healthy Workers when she hires new employees. But Meacham clarified Thursday that businesses cannot switch to Healthy Workers from another plan. Only small businesses that are not now offering health coverage are eligible, he said. Paula Sandas, the president and CEO of the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce, said the majority of the chamber's estimated 575 member businesses are small enough to qualify for Healthy Workers. "In Palo Alto, I would guess we are talking about small retail and restaurants. ... This is a really good thing for businesses," she said. Healthy Workers has been in development since 2006, Meacham said. The plan provides standard medical care at a discount to people who would otherwise rely on Santa Clara Valley Health and Hospital System emergency rooms — the county's medical "safety net" — for treatment, he said. Since emergency-room visits cost the county more than regular doctor's appointments, the money the Santa Clara Valley Health and Hospital System saves through reduced emergency-room use will make up for the discount, he said. "Even if (discounted care) is still costing us money, we still come out ahead," Kniss said. Sandas said that Healthy Workers' limited selection of participating clinics could be a problem for business owners. The only participating clinic in Palo Alto is the MayView Community Health Center on Grant Road. Meacham said Working Partnerships USA will monitor the program's effectiveness and accessibility in the coming months. "If there's tweaking that needs to be done ... we want to be involved in that," he said.
Don't think we draft a QB until 2014 honestly, I could be wrong but last I checked cutting Sanchez after this season would be an enormous cap hit. Assuming we pick around the 10-15 range here's what I see at the moment: Round 1. Damontre Moore - OLB - Texas A & M Good fit for the Jets scheme and he'd plug right into the primary rush linebacker spot. Has experience playing in a 3-4 as A&M just switched back to 4-3 this season but he still drops back in coverage occasionally. Explosive, disruptive, and versatile, he'd be a huge addition to a pathetic pass rush. Round 2. Giovani Bernard - RB - North Carolina We've had a horrible time replacing LT as a passing down back. Shonn Greene's contract expires after this year as well so the feature-back spot is up for grabs as well. Bilal Powell hasn't exactly wowed while he's been in there and has been having trouble staying healthy as well. I wanted Lattimore up until the unfortunate injury but after watching Bernard play a bunch he's definitely got what it takes to be a feature back in the NFL. Round 3. Zach Ertz - TE - Stanford Dustin Keller's contract is expiring as well and between the health issues and the drops I just don't want him back in a Jets uniform next year, and unless he has an amazing 2nd half I don't see how he is. Fortunately this class looks strong at TE (assuming guys like Ertz and Reed and Eifert declare) and Ertz is the complete package with good size, run-blocking, and good hands. Day 3 depth selections: OL, WR, S, RB
[Editor’s Note: today’s post is brought to you by guest blogger Bruce Buchanan, an immigration attorney in the Nashville, TN office of Siskind Susser PC.] As we finish applauding or booing (whichever you feel like) President Obama’s decision to grant deferred action to DREAMers, we need to think about potential I-9 compliance issues which may arise with so many individuals receiving work authorization documents or cards (EADs). One potential issue is where a current employee receives an EAD but previously he provided fraudulent documentation, such as a fraudulent permanent resident card, EAD, or Social Security card, to you, the employer. That employee then presents a new and valid EAD to the HR manager and confides the prior documentation was fraudulent. What should an employer do in this situation? Much depends on your company’s policy on presenting fraudulent documents or lying on a company or government document. There are several options. The first is to accept the new EAD, have a new I-9 form filled out and attach the old I-9 form to the new one with an explanation of the circumstances of completing the new I-9 form. If your company has a policy or practice of copying the underlying documentation, or is required to under state law, the new EAD should be copied. This option should only be utilized if your company does not have a policy or practice of automatic termination for presenting fraudulent documents or lying on a company or government document. A second option is to inform the employee that your company has a policy prohibiting employment of employees who have presented fraudulent documents or lied on a company document. Thus, the employee is going to be terminated. However, if the company does not have a policy prohibiting their re-hire, the company may offer to re-hire the employee and fill out a new I-9 form with an explanation of the circumstances. The third option is to inform the employee that your company has a policy prohibiting employment of employees who have presented fraudulent documents or lied on a company or government document and that employee is not eligible for rehire. Thus, the employee must be terminated without a chance of rehire. This action is particularly harsh but may be the only way for an employer to go if it wants to remain consistent with its policy. The option that a company chooses will be dictated by your company’s policy and practice. Don’t have a policy concerning employment of employees who have presented fraudulent documents or lied on a company document? It may be time to start thinking about getting one. Consult with a qualified immigration compliance or employment attorney to develop an I-9 policy that addresses all the current legislation and best practices. Always be consistent in your practices, especially when it comes to documentation. If you do a good deed by retaining a DREAMer after he has provided a valid EAD and admitted previously providing a fraudulent document, then, to be consistent, you may have to retain an employee who lied on his application about a felony conviction. Again, consistency is important. Disclaimer: The content of this post does not constitute direct legal advice and is designed for informational purposes only.

---- — STOUGHTON, Mass. (AP) — Massachusetts authorities say a newly licensed gun owner has fatally shot his teenage brother in what the family says was an accident. Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey tells the Boston Herald that 17-year-old high school senior Dave Wade died after the Saturday shooting at his family’s Stoughton home. Morrissey says Wade’s 21-year-old brother had gotten a gun license within the past couple of weeks. He says Wade’s brother and mother called 911 and tried to help the teen before emergency responders arrived. Authorities are investigating the shooting as a possible accident. They say the family is devastated and cooperating with police. Neighbor Chet Collins tells the newspaper that the family is close-knit and loving and that the teen was one of four sons.
I will reserve judgement until Ive seen it and soaked it in, but is it just me or does catwoman's ears/mask look...I dunno,goofy? Have any nerds been enraged about it? I really cant help but think of the catwoman from the 60s show that wasnt Eartha Kitt (Julie Newmar?) and also Alicia Silverstone's Batgirl from the maligned J.S. movies,the bat VTOL thing sort of niggles me too... I dont mean to come in and shit on this thread continually, I wouldnt be suprised if its brilliant but from what Ive seen so far I have some doubts

Just kidding! Even though there was a bit of sunshine over the weekend, it's going to be rainy & windy the entire week. Spring showers bring May flowers. Sahil & I did spend hours watching "Heroes". I know it's an old show, but we both never watched it before. I didn't want to watch it at first, but the bf insisted. I'm now highly intrigued! No spoilers, please! Maxi dress: Gypsy 05 (love); ASOS (obsessed) \| Blazer: ASOS \| Boots: Tod's (want) \| Sunnies: Ray Ban \| Lips: YSL [via T like Bubble Tea] There's a fantastic new project that was brought to my attention by Tania of T like Bubble Tea. It's the 15/30: The Capsule Wardrobe Project. Fifteen pieces in thirty days starting this Thursday, March 15 - April 15. No shopping for an entire month at all -- I'm actually starting to get semi-used to this. The concept behind this challenge is very simple, really. Pick 15 different pieces from your wardrobe & only wear those items for the whole month. I, along with other bloggers like Tania & Sam of Sam is Home, want to welcome you all to take on this wardrobe challenge & truly see for ourselves how much we think we need to fill this “void” of not having enough. The aim of this project is to get people to become more aware of their shopping habits & hopefully gain a better perspective on sustainable fashion. I'm a big advocate of quality vs. quantity (as I'm sure you could tell with my other posts on Chictopia). So, get creative, have some fun, start pinning outfit & styling inspirations! Make a daily look book to document this challenge & your progress. I'll be sharing mine, of course. Edit down your closet while you’re at it. There are a few "wear it # of ways" posts on EIU & my previous post on "1 skirt, 12 ways" if you need help getting started. Besides, it’s been said we really only wear 80% of our wardrobe. - ANY 15 pieces for 30 days (ex: 10 tops, 5 bottoms or 5 dresses, 6 tops, 4 bottoms) - Accessories (incl. hats, scarves)/gym clothes/pajamas/socks are not included in the 15 - No shopping for 1 month - DIY on the existing 15 pieces is permitted More information here & here. :)

He's a veteran and he can't get up. - Steve Mitchell-US PRESSWIRE Why is the NFL Trade Deadline so boring every year? And why was 2012 no exception? When the NFL Trade Deadline hits–Thursday afternoon at 3 p.m. CDT—nobody will be able to say the league didn't try to make 2012 different. But they will be able to say that nothing's changed. Another year will be in the books, and if things hold as they appear to be holding right now almost nobody will have changed hands at the end of a season that's among the NBA and MLB's highest holidays. What is it about the NFL that makes Steven Jackson trade rumors peak late and peter out early? Apparently it's not the timing. The NFL pushed this year's trade deadline back two weeks prior to this season with the goal of increasing action as teams got better ideas of whether they'd be contending. This year, though, the buyers and sellers have hardly separated; only four teams have fewer than three wins, and only three have fewer than two losses. The three-win St. Louis Rams probably understand that they won't be playoff contenders in 2012, but it's not quite a haves and have-nots situation, at least not yet. That leaves some combination of salary considerations and offensive learning curves responsible for the inaction. The NFL's salary cap and payroll structure is even more byzantine than the NBA's, and teams are terrified of running afoul of it; it lacks baseball's flexibility, so taking on an overpriced veteran's salary for a half-season is a risk of much more than those guaranteed dollars. And once you have him, you can't just tell him to line up at third base and continue hitting. Jackson would have to learn a new offense, and he'd only have eight games in which to do it. All that combines to make in-season trades uncommonly risky; when the Rams acquired Brandon Lloyd last season they were making a bigger NFL Trade Deadline splash than you'd expect, given their team and his numbers. The NFL will likely keep trying to make things more interesting down the stretch, but right now, at least, it looks like a lost cause.

Clinton vows to protect U.S. missions worldwide amid anti-U.S. sentiments Washington, United States (4E) – In the wake of attacks on American consulates in Muslim-dominated nations, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday announced to take “aggressive steps” to protect its diplomatic missions around the world. Speaking to reporters at a press conference, Clinton said that Washington is not yet sure on whether an attack on its ambassador to Libya that killed him in Benghazi with three others was planned or imminent. “We had no actionable intelligence. Hence, we are taking aggressive steps to protect our staffs in embassies and consulates worldwide,” Clinton said. Her comments came after talks with Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa amid anti-U.S. march across South Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. She further said that the U.S. is “reviewing security posture at every post and augmenting it where necessary.” Meanwhile, fresh violence over the anti-Islamic video was reported in Afghan capital Kabul where an Afghan insurgent group Hezb-i-Islami’s female suicide bomber killed 14 people, including 10 foreigners, on Tuesday. The victims were working under the United States government. The U.S. had released an anti-Islamic movie insulting the Prophet Muhammad and Islam on the eve of September 11, sparking widespread protests in the Muslim states across the world. In Los Angeles, the family of filmmaker of anti-Islamic movie titled “Innocence of Muslims” went in hiding. Producer Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, is already in hiding since last Saturday after a parole officer questioned him. According to local reports, the Los Angeles County sheriff’s department officers moved him along with four of his family members from his residence to an undisclosed localtion.
What did you do before you became a farmer? I was a veterinarian technician. What was your motivation for becoming a farmer in the United States? Well, the truth is that I always had the inclination to be a farmer in Colombia, but it was hard, because of the country's insecurity. So I emigrated to the U.S. with that idea, and once I arrived I started looking for a farm in Georgia, but it didn't work out. When I saw in the paper that the NFDP was helping farmers, I responded to the call. In what way has your previous experience helped you in agriculture? Because I had knowledge in cattle and livestock management, and some experience with crops and agricultural engineering, it made everything easier. It helps a lot. In the beginning as an NFDP farmer, what was the experience, tool or advice that helped you the most? Through the program, I met a farmer who was doing what I wanted to do: he had a poultry farm. He retired and I had the opportunity to meet the market need. That was the best luck I had. If you could go back and do over that first year of being an NFDP farmer, what would you change, or what do you do differently? Actually, the changes I would have made are the ones I'm making. When I started, there weren't as many resources or information in the program. But now there is so much of everything. So I wouldn't say I'd change anything from that first year per se. We did what we could with what we had. Which benefit from being part of NFDP would you say has been the most important for you? The economic help, because without the economic help, I wouldn't have been able to go on, or maintain things. Because it's really difficult in a business when there are moments you need money and if you don't have anywhere to get it, it's really hard. Where do you sell your products? For Greenmarkets in Union Square Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 97th Street on Fridays, Grand Army and Fort Greene Saturdays, Jackson Heights and Carroll Gardens Sundays. We also sell at markets in Ramsey, New Jersey and Brewster, New York. Who helps you on the farm and what do they do? I have two people helping me right now: Cesar manages all the eggs, and Juan, who will manage all the crops. Alejahndra is the marketing manager. And I'm the problem solver. How would you describe your production practices? I always try to have production practices as natural as possible, without using anything from outside the farm. That is, using the rules of permaculture, where everything that's used is from around the animals. I try not to put anything extra on the floor for the chickens. Using biodynamic techniques in accordance with the lunar cycles, as well as permaculture principles. Do you have plans to expand your business? Plans, yes, many. Right now, my main project is doing value-added. We're thinking of making chicken soup and a few products with beans to introduce into the markets. Whats the best part of being a farmer, in your experience? I think the best part of being a famer is that I feel really close to nature, and that relaxes me. When I'm working on the farm, I relax. For me that's the best part. What do you consider the greatest challenge or obstacle in agriculture? Well the biggest one for me are the seasons. It's a great obstacle for someone coming from the tropics. In the tropics, you can have an idea and you just start it, without thinking about the time of year. The month doesn't matter -- you plant a seed and it grows. But here, you have to pay attention to the season, you have to plan exactly what you're going to plant. If you lose the window, the whole season passes you by. What keeps your customers coming back to your market stand? I try to treat my customers really well. It plays a really important role, as well as the quality of the product you sell. If you produce your products with love and care, they're going to turn out high quality. And that's what makes the customers come back; that's what I think. What about your farm are you most proud of? I'm pleased that my customers appreciate what I do, but to say I'm proud... I don't like to use that word. It's a big word. What is the most important lesson you have learned as a farmer? Having patience. As a farmer, you have to have a lot of patience. Before, I wasn't a very patient person. But now I have to have a lot of patience. What advice would you give to a new farmer? That they try to do things from their heart, and that they have patience, because in the beginning, things don't turn out like you might like, but little by little they get better. For some, things go well, for others, not. Around the third year is when things start to improve. Also, it's hard to move. Try not to move, and if you can buy yourself a little parcel of land where you know you'll be forever, that's the best. What will your farm be like in ten years? Prettier. In 10 years, I'm going to have the farm I've always dreamt of. And I'm going to have the opportunity to work less and make more. I have always that you need to work. I don't see myself not working, but I'll have to find a way to work that isn't as wearing, and that has money coming in so we can live and get the things we need. What will be your next big investment in your farm? The next one will be planting the grains that my hens need, that is, to steer the farm more in a permaculture and holistic direction.

An Ode To Shandy Due to unfortunate circumstances such as the need to drive or the need to work, its not often I can sit down during the day and crack open my favourite drink – a can of Lager. Therefore, what tends to fill the void is the boring yet socially acceptable can of Diet Coke or if I’m feeling extravagant maybe a can of Dr Pepper. For every hour I seemingly scrape through in work, five minutes is spent trundling sheepishly to the can machine in the corner to part with a hard-earned 60p in return for one of the Coca-Cola company’s offerings. Something changed the other day. Rather than ruefully place my coins into the hulking machine and wait for that satisfying clunk to signify my cold, dull can is now waiting for collection I decided to brighten things up by taking the unusual step of leaving the office and try the corner shop opposite. It is probably just a small exaggeration when I state I was almost temporarily blinded by the exotic choices available outside the dour grey walls of our office habitat. Forget your safe choices of Coke and Lilt. Here was Lucozades, cream sodas, Powerades, Orange Juices, even Ribena’s! I still remember the moment the small blue can caught my eye, the sunlight reflecting off the shiny gleam. Wow! Shandy Bass! Even though I was standing rooted to the spot facing the fridge in a small store, mentally I was instantly transported back to when I was a nervous 10 year old barely able to see over the counter of the local Chinese in my village. My mission was always to get a can of shandy without it being detected I was…shock horror…only 10 years old! Indeed, to my child mind shandy was a forbidden drink containing Lager, that old people’s poison, yet magically we were able to buy it from the chinese for reasons our young minds were unable to comprehend. There was something exhilarating, dangerous and grown-up in swigging the mysterious taste of shandy. One other memory that was replaying in my mind at the same time was when I hijacked my father’s shandy from the fridge one night and retreated to my bedroom as though I was a rebellious underage alcoholic. It was with confusion I eventually found out a few years later it was infact very legal for young people to drink shandy as the lager content was negligible. After stocking up from the shop that day, I now strive to have a shandy as often as I can. Partly for the sweat taste. Mainly because lager is banned in work and although Shandy Bass only has 0.5% ABV, one must embrace the small mercies in life.

Marshall County has been added to the state of disaster declaration signed by Kelly on May 9 which brings the total to 47 counties. The declaration also includes: Anderson, Barber, Barton, Butler, Chase, Chautauqua, Cherokee, Clark, Clay, Cloud, Coffey, Comanche, Cowley, Crawford, Dickinson, Doniphan, Elk, Franklin, Geary, Greenwood, Harvey, Jefferson, Kingman, Lincoln, Lyon, Marion, McPherson, Meade, Montgomery, Morris, Neosho, Osage, Ottawa, Pottawatomie, Pratt, Reno, Rice, Riley, Saline, Sumner, Wabaunsee, Wilson and Woodson. Governor Laura Kelly sent a request to President Donald Trump on Sunday, May 26, asking for emergency declaration. Emergency declarations supplement state and local government efforts through direct federal assistance for emergency debris removal and emergency protective action measures. The emergency declaration request is currently under review and the state has not yet received a determination. “On this Memorial Day, as we work with flood impacted communities, we will also remember the service men and women who gave their lives for this country,” said Kelly. “We will honor their sacrifice through our work together to ensure our fellow Kansans safety.” The Red Cross is operating two shelters in Montgomery County (Memorial Hall, 410 N. Penn, Independence and First Southern Baptist Church, 2701 W 8th, Coffeyville) and Wilson County (City Hall, 1407 North 8th Street, Neodesha). Six shelters are on standby in Dickson, Jefferson, Neosho, and Saline Counties. A pet shelter is also operational in Montgomery County at Memorial Hall, 410 N Penn, Independence. Three pet shelters are on standby. Two in Jefferson County and one in Neosho County. Flooding continues to impact roadways across Kansas. If you are traveling for Memorial Day updated road information can be found at www.KanDrive.org. The site displays information from KDOT’s traveler information technology, including highway cameras, dynamic message signs, traffic management centers and 511 phone, online and mobile (http://511mm.ksdot.org). The Kansas Wildlife, Parks and Tourism closed the following State Parks due to flooding: Elk City State Park, Fall River State Park, Kanopolis State Park and Perry State Park. All parks were closed as of 5 p.m. Sunday, May 26. Hundreds of power outages have been reported across the state due to the storm system that swept through overnight. The Kansas Division of Emergency Management (KDEM) requested assistance from the Kansas National Guard to haul pallets of water and to assist with evacuations in identified locations. The Kansas National Guard also has prepositioned high wheeled vehicles and personnel at designated positions throughout the affected area to assist with the evacuation process if needed. Airmen from the Kansas National Guard’s 184th Intelligence Wing’s Unclassified Processing Assessment and Dissemination (UPAD) continue to support KDEM with geospatial imagery. KDEM is also coordinating Incident Management Teams and Emergency Operations Center support to impacted counties. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is providing four water pumps, manual sandbag machines, approximately 173,000 sandbags and Hesco barriers. The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) in Topeka remains activated to monitor weather conditions across the state and respond to requests for assistance due to widespread severe storms and flooding. It will remain activated 24/7 until further notice. State and Federal agencies that have reported to the SEOC are Kansas Division of Emergency Management, Kansas National Guard, Civil Air Patrol, Office of the State Fire Marshal, Kansas Highway Patrol, Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Department for Children and Families, Kansas Department of Transportation, Kansas Water Office, National Weather Service, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and FEMA. Other partners in the SEOC are the American Red Cross and support from Ohio, North Carolina and Tennessee through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact.
\|PRISON PLANET.com Copyright © 2002-2005 Alex Jones All rights reserved.\| Don't Be Hoodwinked By 'Anti-Hate' Bill S.1145 Ted Pike \| 10th Oct 2005 As I spearhead national opposition to "anti-hate" bill S.1145 (The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2005), I receive input such as this: "I have read S.1145 and don't find any great conspiracy against free speech." Or, "My member of Congress says S.1145 merely provides federal assistance to state and Indian tribes in their fight against violent hate crimes." Here is a brief guide to understanding S.1145's hidden yet supremely dangerous agenda. This bill empowers the federal government to assume control of local hate crimes law enforcement. It establishes unity between federal and local law enforcement, thus creating the beginnings of a "police state." This enables the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, creator of this legislation, to enforce nationally the kind of persecution against Christians which their national executive board member, Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham, enforced locally against 11 Christians on October 10, 2004. Preaching at a gay pride rally, they were arrested for violation of ADL's Pennsylvania hate law. Possible penalties: 47 years in prison and $90,000 fines each. Mercifully, the case against them was thrown out by a higher court. Lynne Abraham had unrestrained power to command her police underlings to arrest the Philadelphia Christians. ADL wants the same federal power to enforce its federal hate crimes agenda against Christians, right-wing talk show hosts, critics of Israel, pro-lifers, anti-war activists, etc., in every town in America. Federal Takeover of Law Enforcement Instead of telling us how S.1145 threatens our liberties, the ADL deceptively portrays this bill as a sincere effort by the federal government to respond to a "serious national problem:" violent hate crimes in the states and on Indian reservations. The real goal of S.1145 is to grant permission to the federal government to control local civil rights law enforcement. 1. Sec.2,4-13 clearly and repeatedly states that occurrence of bias-motivated violence in a state entitles the federal government to override states, rights in law enforcement, establishing "federal jurisdiction over certain violent crimes motivated by bias." (12) 2. Sec.7(b)(2)(A), strategically positioned near the end of the bill (just when most readers and members of Congress are yawning) is a tangle of deliberately confusing grammar and legalese terminology. Yet its implications are deadly to the future of states, rights. It says that the U.S. Attorney General, or his underlings, may pursue hate crimes indictments within states if: A. States do "not intend to exercise jurisdiction" in prosecuting hate crimes in the way the federal government wants them to. In other words, if a state wants to prosecute all crime according to physical evidence, not "bias motivation," and reject a federal ADL hate law for their state, then the federal government has the right to swoop in and enforce the federal hate law and its "bias motivation" legal philosophy, whether that state likes it or not. Sec.7(b)(2)(A) B. If states do not obtain the kind of verdict the federal government wishes in a hate crimes trial, the government also has the right to intervene and violate states, rights, presumably retrying the case to their satisfaction. Sec.7(b)(2)(D) By its obscurity and deceptiveness, ADL has crafted S.1145 to slip like an eel through Congress. This literally happened September 14, 2005 when Amendment 2662 slithered through the House of Representatives in only 45 minutes! But, this eel has fangs. It squirms toward one dark objective: Creation of a vast Orwellian anti-hate bureaucracy and police state with ADL lurking behind the scenes to seize and silence the politically incorrect anywhere in America. From a supreme position of power over all federal and local law enforcement, the ADL will be able to enforce its twisted definition that "hate" means bias against federally protected groups, particularly Jews and homosexuals. All Bible-believing Christians will become "haters," just as D.A. Lynne Abraham viewed them as they preached in the Philadelphia public square last year. Take a Second Look So, to all who haven't seen a conspiracy in S.1145, even after reading it, I say: Read it again more deeply. Consider how that similar ADL/B'nai B'rith legislation has ended free speech in Canada, and European countries. You must see S.1145 for what it is: possibly the most dangerous threat to states, rights, evangelical Christianity, free speech, and freedom itself which has ever been proposed to Congress. WHAT WE CAN DO PROTEST S.1145 TO ALL 55 REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE SENATE! These senators are listed at <http://www.truthtellers.org/>www.truthtellers.org. Call toll free 1-888-355-3588 or toll 1-202-225-3121. With only one phone call, you can be transferred from one office to the other upon your request, calling all 55 in about 20 minutes. Tell them "I want to express my disapproval of the hate bill S.1145!" The members of the Senate Judiciary Committee may well decide this week to approve S.1145 as part of the Children's Safety Act of 2005, H.R.3132. As happened in the House of Representatives on September 14th, this bill could move through the Senate very rapidly. All members of the Senate, especially Republicans, must hear from you NOW!!!
Two policemen were killed and six others injured in a gun-battle with the Naxals in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district today, a top official said. The encounter took place in a forest under the Bhejji police station when a joint team of the Special Task Force (STF), District Reserve Guard (DRG) and local police was out on an “area-domination operation”, Deputy Inspector General of Police (South Bastar range) Sundarraj P told PTI. As the team was passing through the forest between Bhejji and Elarmadgu, around 500 km from state capital Raipur, it came under heavy firing from the ultras, leading to the gun-battle, the DIG said. The exchange of fire lasted for over two hours, he added. “Assistant constables Madkam Handa and Mukesh Kadthi of the DRG were killed and six other jawans were injured,” the DIG said. Reinforcement was rushed to the spot and the injured personnel as well as the bodies of the slain jawans were brought to Bhejji. The injured jawans were being airlifted to Raipur, the DIG added. In another incident along the stretch between Bhejji and Elarmadgu, where a road construction project is underway, the Naxals killed Anil Kumar, the supervisor of the private contractor, and set vehicles engaged in the road construction work ablaze, Sundarraj said.

October 29, 2012 5:49 pm In many respects, Jez Butterworth’s new play is very different from his spectacular hit Jerusalem. Where that drama was wild, expansive and hilarious, The River is subtle, sleek and dark. It’s a chamber piece for a small space and a handful of actors. Yet, in essence, it is fishing from the same pool: here too is that sense of reaching down in place and time to try and grasp something dark and earthy about who we are and how we behave. Here too, as in Jerusalem, is a sense of the mysterious and of kinship with others long gone. It’s an eerie piece, given a spellbinding production by Ian Rickson. Basically, it is a story about fishing – for love, for truth, and, most obviously, for fish. A man has brought a woman (both nameless) to his rural cabin for a weekend of fishing and other sensual pleasures. But from the outset there are tensions. She wants him to share the sunset with her; he is intent on taking her night fishing for sea trout. Both seem to have an ideal against which they are pressing this relationship. After a tussle, he reels her in and they depart. But in the second scene the play suddenly darkens. We are back in the cabin – on the same night, we assume – but the woman, when she enters, is a different person. Butterworth slips between time zones, pursuing one narrative arc with two different characters, demonstrating the tactics used to catch a mate and the slipperiness of the truth. The play becomes as mesmerising as a ghost story: the man is clearly haunted by the one that got away – but what happened to her and did she even exist? Yeats’s poem “The Song of Wandering Aengus” ripples through the piece and there’s an air of enchantment about it, like a folk ballad about a man who falls for the faerie queen. The achievement of both Butterworth and Rickson, however, is to keep the story grounded. There’s a keen sense of the physicality of life, lust and death, not least in the shape of a silvery fish that is gutted, cooked and eaten on stage. Set design (Ultz), lighting (Charles Balfour) and sound design (Ian Dickinson) conjure up the natural setting. Dominic West gives a beautifully layered performance as a man who appears both rugged and romantic, but is actually deeply disturbed by his own hollowness and duplicity. He’s funny too, suggesting peevishly dented masculine pride when both women out-fish him, and he appears to be a dab hand in the kitchen. Miranda Raison and Laura Donnelly are subtly matched, the one direct and sharp, the other quirky and capricious. There are certainly flaws: Butterworth occasionally gets sucked into a current of overly lush writing. But this is a wonderful play, glinting and elusive as a fish. In the final instance, it is perhaps about time and eternity: about that spot on the river that, while always the same, is always changing. Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2013.

Aug 28 2008 It’s almost time for Gators Football ladies and gentlemen. Plenty of sub plots to be going on this year: Will Tebow win the Heisman again? Can this team be the fastest team in the nation as Urban Meyer hopes? Or should we think of other things like “How hot is the cheerleading squad this year?” and “Which players have a shot at the NFL?” Whatever your thought is, and however you may wish to interpret this team, here are seven sure fire reasons to keep track of the Gators this year. A History of Football Florida first fielded an official football team in 1906. Since then, the Gators have played in 34 bowl games, won seven Southeastern Conference titles, produced 135 All-Americans coming into the 2006 season, 35 NFL first round draft choices and three Heisman Trophy winners. An Alligator is tough, period It’s just a badass mascot to have. And to use the term “swamp” when referring to visiting teams coming to play at Florida is pretty sweet too. If there is a college coach as revered as Nick Saban, it may very well be Urban Meyer. This guy is the man. Let’s face it. Urban knows how hot his daughter is and the chance of seeing her on national television would be an event unto itself. Tim Tebow will inevitably hit on Erin Andrews Not only will it be fun to watch this guy possibly win another Heisman. We get to watch him hit on one of the hottest newscasters around. The Chance we See Joaquim Noah at a Game I’m not saying that seeing Noah will be fun by any means. However, watching him potentially hit on a UF freshman will provide me material for at least a week Danielle Wolfe and Lauren Stevens My favorite UF undergrads Even More Uncoachable Stuff
Monday, February 23, 2009 To-day the White Stockings met the Red Stockings, of (St. Louis), in friendly conflict, and gave the most interesting game of base ball that has ever been played in this city. The Reds, of St. Louis, are really the champions of the Mississippi. The Chicago Whites give them the credit of being the best fielding nine they have ever met. This St. Louis club is made up of athletes, most of whom belong to the Missouri Gymnasium, and are experienced ball-players, some of them having figured conspicuously in baseball circles...-Chicago Daily Tribune, April 24, 1874 The wind was blowing very hard against the batting, which made many terrific hits drop short in the fielders' hands. About 800 people were present to witness the game (which was won by Chicago by a score of 6-0).
Domestic dispute lands B.C. man in county jail by C.F. David Jody Baldonado, of Boise City, is being held on a bond of $60 thousand, for a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill.

In the meantime, Jody Baldonado fled the home and was later found, arrested and booked into jail. If found guilty of the charge Baldonado faces imprisonment of up to 20 years. Boise City News
MOST POPULAR STORIESˇ Posted 20 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago A little girl dances in front of an Irish painting and makes the world happy It is my happy picture and even though I have no idea who the little girl is, I have found out what the painting is and where it's from. It's Irish Painter John Lavery's 1911 painting portrait of Anna Pavlova that she is dancing in front of. Now housed in Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, Scotland, the oil painting is of the Russian Ballerina. The National Gallery of Australia tells us: The Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova (1881–1931) was the most celebrated classical dancer of her time, admired for the poetic quality of her movement. She made her debut as soloist with the Imperial Russian Ballet in 1899, but gained fame when she danced with Nijinsky in Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes in Paris in 1909. The Observercritic wrote on 16 April 1911: ‘Mr. Lavery’s portrait of the Russian dancer, Anna Pavlova, caught in a moment of graceful, weightless movement … Her miraculous, feather-like flight, which seems to defy the law of gravitation’. John Lavery was born in Ireland in 1856 and lived in Scotland c.1875-79, England and France 1879-85, Scotland 1885-96, England 1896-1939, with regular visits to North Africa, Ireland from 1939. He died in County Kilkenny, Ireland in 1941. If you do know anything more about the top photograph, please do let me know below.

Yep- Aug 26- the anniversay of Women's Right to Vote. Of course I vote- are you kidding, even in the minor elections that we had a couple weeks ago. It is the least I can do really, and I also feel justified in my opinions, or at least spouting my opinion since I check the box when I can. So you probably have been hearing alot about my home state lately thanks to some issue in that election a couple weeks ago and also the words used by a man running for senate in our state. It went a bit viral as it justly should have. In my heart I do not believe he misspoke, I think he really do feel that way and that is some scary words coming from someone who wants to run for public office for my state. You can have your opinion but not my vote. I guess that is where I sit tonight thinking about how wacky my state is, and think of moving myself and my family to someplace like my birth state in the mountains. But then my ram horns come out and realize I am not going to be run out like that. Missouri needs progressive independent women and families more than ever. Just so you know, Missouri is not just about ridiculous notions of feeling like they need to amend the MO constitution to create what has been dubbed the "right to pray" Amendment-(religious freedom was already protected folks) I prefer a nice separation of church and state. That is why I choose public school. Though Mr. Akin will say that the voters of Missouri put their faith in him, I just shudder and want to say that here yes he did misspeak. You see it was a primary so no, I as a Missouri woman did not vote for you and hopefully my other progressive Missouri friends will also show him that there is more to Missouri than Winter's Bone, religion, and conservative politics. We are a fierce group that re-legalized midwives, love our families, community and freedom. Missouri may have some problems, well some big problems, but I am sticking around and I vote. By the way, we also had the Pink Bus tour come through my town this week and there was to be a Right to Be Topless Rally today as well to voice opinions on Gender Equality. I guess I will step down off my soap box and remind myself why I am here- still rooted in the soil that I was raised in, rich Missouri soil that can let progress grow. Your regulary scheduled program will return this week with give-aways, chalkboard projects and toy updates in the shop!

National Health Service Corps Expands the Primary Care Workforce Physicians to practice in communities that need them most The National Health Service Corps awarded more than $10 million in funding for loan repayment to 87 medical students in 29 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, who will serve as primary care doctors and help strengthen the health care workforce, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced today. Made possible by the Affordable Care Act, the National Health Service Corps’ Students to Service Loan Repayment Program provides financial support to fourth year primary care medical students in exchange for their service in the communities that need them most. “This new National Health Service Corps initiative is an innovative approach to encouraging more medical students to work in primary care, and to bring more primary care doctors to communities,” Secretary Sebelius said. “This is an important part of the administration’s commitment to building the future health care workforce.” The Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Students to Service pilot program provides loan repayment assistance of up to $120,000 to medical students in MD and DO programs in their last year of education in return for their commitment to practice in the communities that need them most upon completion of their primary care residency. “The average medical school debt is often more than $200,000,” said HRSA Administrator Mary K. Wakefield, Ph.D., R.N. “The Students to Service program help relieve a tremendous debt burden, allowing them to follow their passion for primary care.” These newest NHSC providers must provide three years of full-time service or six years of half-time service in designated rural and urban areas. As a result of historic investments in the Affordable Care Act and the Recovery Act, the numbers of National Health Service Corps clinicians are at all-time highs. The number of providers serving in the Corps has nearly tripled since 2008. Today nearly 10,000 National Health Service Corps providers are providing primary care to approximately 10.4 million people at nearly 14,000 health care sites in urban, rural, and frontier areas.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Running Onto The Japanese eShop Posted by Orla Madden Game Gear returns The Game Gear version of Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is coming to the Japanese 3DS Virtual Console next week. It'll be available for download on 31 October for 300 yen, so gamers in Nintendo's homeland can give themselves a treat this Halloween. This 8-bit version of the game was also released on the Sega Master System featuring different level designs; you can read our review of that version right here. This release is yet to be confirmed for Europe and North America, though we see no real reason why it shouldn't arrive at some point in the future. Do any of you remember playing the original, or is it on your wishlist?

Seeing the Light with Backtracking Akari is a logic puzzle created by Nikoli Co., Ltd., a publisher of puzzle magazines in Japan since 1980. Like many good logic games, Akari (or "Light Up") has very simple rules, but can pose problems that range from simple to very hard. You only need a pencil and your mind to solve Akari or any other puzzle that Nikoli puts out. Akari is played on a rectangular grid of black and white squares. A subset of black squares will contain an integer from 0 to 4. The object of the puzzle is to place light bulbs on white squares according to the following conditions: - Any black square that contains a number must be surrounded by exactly that number of light bulbs in the adjacent vertical (North and South) and horizontal (East and West) white squares. - Rays of light from bulbs radiate along the vertical and horizontal directions until reaching a black square or the edge of the grid. - Each white square in the grid must be illuminated while no bulb may be illuminated by another bulb. When I solve Akari puzzles, I use the analogy of chess rooks as light bulbs since the vertical and horizontal attack matches the light bulb illumination paths. So, keeping the chess theme from the N-Queens problem from the last two posts, I think of this as rooks and islands where some (black square) islands require a specific number of adjacent rooks, no two rooks can attack each other, a rook's attack stops at the beach of an island, and no additional rook can be placed since all white squares are attacked by at least one rook. However, to keep closer to the actual description of Akari, I'll use the light bulb in this post. Regardless of whether you imagine light bulbs or rooks or four-armed killer robots with ray guns, a human approach to solving an Akari puzzle starts with finding configurations that are "forced" by the conditions of the puzzle (e.g., a 4-square requiring the four open squares filled by a bulb or a 2-square in the corner with only two open adjacent squares). After adding bulbs and tracing out the covered squares, other forced moves will be revealed. More complex puzzles will have fewer obvious configurations and require some logical thinking about the consequences of placing bulbs on alternate squares.
Business culture and ethics Latvia It is a frequent stereotype that the Latvians are closed and get to know strangers slowly. However, when greeting a Latvian, you just say the word lab-dien, which means "good afternoon" you will see the shine in their grayish blue eyes! Showing respect towards the Latvian language, which is one of two Baltic languages from Indo-European language branch, which is still alive, will open the heart of the most reserved Latvian. Nation which sings However, some stereotypes about the small Northern nation which lives between its Baltic sisters are true. For example, the fact the Latvians sing a lot. Almost everybody sings: pupils, young people, women and men in their free time after works; the choirs have tens of thousand participants. They gather together regularly, once in four years during the Song Festival; people come there even from the most distant corners of the state and their sonorous voices can be hear in whole Latvia. In any case, the word music is like a magic wand which can be used in any conversation, in case the interval is longer than you would like to have. It is hard to believe that the state financing for music and culture in whole is considerably decreasing but the musicians and bandmasters, as well as opera singers, choirs, performers and composers from Latvia are gaining more and more victories and clearly show the belonging to the top level artists of the world. Despite the fact that Latvia is such a small country in the terms of both area and population, we cannot say that in terms of its achievements in culture it is a small and avoidant; the following artists originate from Latvia: world famous painter Marks Rotko from Daugavpils, cinematograph Sergejs Eizenšteins from Riga, English philosopher Isaiah Berlin who was born in Riga and finally the Riga New Theatre with its director Alvis Hermanis; they are really appreciated in Europe. Historically, it has never been possible for Latvia to become reclusive in terms of language, culture, values and traditions, because of its appealing geographic location: on the coast of the sea, on the road between the East and the West. And nowadays economic and all other means of communications do not recognize any borders! Children of various ethnical origins – Latvians, Russians, Jews and others, who live in Latvia, are adapted to the pace of time and are taught the English language already in kindergarten. Sometimes it might seem even surprising how trustfully the subsidiaries of Western companies in Latvia follow the standards of their parent companies and corporative traditions when doing business in Latvia. However, sometimes the business culture of national companies, which employ people of various approaches, can be surprising. Here the reference in made to these interesting situations when one can ask the question, without receiving any answer, why the situation in this country is as it is? The most significant spiritual value of the Latvian nation is the folk songs. They are short, concise, rhythmical, quatrains with impressive language and plot. The folk songs of Latvia are included in the list of UNESCO human oral and non-material culture heritage, although it is practically not possible to translate them in other languages. If it was possible these translations in foreign languages would make it easier to understand what is the driving force for the Baltic people. Latvians are used to adapt themselves The question why people leave cities every year at Midsummer Eve on 23rd and 24th of June, why they go to the country, why they stay close to the nature, why they gather flowers in meadows and make wreaths, why they drink foamy beer and meet sunrise keeping fire alive. Also the other question is why people leave the plains of Latvia in winter, why they go to mountains and try to learn skiing at such level, which seems to be possible only for the people living in mountainous areas. And, why women are so beautiful in this country, but in early summer mornings, men are ready to get out of their warm beds and go fishing to the nearest lake? Most probably it is because the Latvians are used to adapt themselves to various situations. The people in Baltic countries are eager to learn and master everything new, modern, progressive (foreign countries, achievements in techniques and technology and etc.). One the other hand, the people living on the Baltic coast have preserved their proximity to nature which stretches its roots in the history of the nation, and in many cases are too shy to express their self estimate. Sometimes the Latvians are not even sure about their own sense of humor. But, would it be possible for the nation which has experience so many changes of ruling powers to survive without the ability to laugh about themselves? The only matter is that the humor of Northern people is much deeper; it is like a loaf of bread which can be savored only after cutting off the crust. The pavilion of Latvia in the international exhibition EXPO 2010 demonstrated to the rest of the world that a human being can fly like a bird by using state-of-art technologies. It was almost like an illustration for the old saying: A small knoll can overthrow a big cartful! Or another popular saying: Don’t just a man according to his hat!, i.e., do not estimate on the basis of external parameters!

Social Engineering Targets Healthcare Payment Processors “In each of these reports, unknown cyber criminals used employees’ publicly-available Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and social engineering techniques to impersonate victims and obtain access to files, healthcare portals, payment information, and websites,” the Bureau says. “In one case, the attacker changed victims’ direct deposit information to a bank account controlled by the attacker, redirecting $3.1 million from victims’ payments.” The FBI describes three successful social engineering attacks against these entities: - “In April 2022, a healthcare company with more than 175 medical providers discovered an unauthorized cyber criminal posing as an employee had changed Automated Clearing House (ACH) instructions of one of their payment processing vendors to direct payments to the cyber criminal rather than the intended providers. The cyber criminal successfully diverted approximately $840,000 dollars over two transactions prior to the discovery.” - “In February 2022, a cyber criminal obtained credentials from a major healthcare company and changed direct deposit banking information from a hospital to a consumer checking account belonging to the cyber criminal, resulting in a $3.1 million loss. In mid-February 2022, in a separate incident a different cyber criminal used the same method to steal approximately $700,000. - “From June 2018 to January 2019, cyber criminals targeted and accessed at least 65 healthcare payment processors throughout the United States to replace legitimate customer banking and contact information with accounts controlled by the cyber criminals. One victim reported a loss of approximately $1.5 million. The cyber criminals used a combination of publicly available PII and phishing schemes to gain access to customer accounts. Entities involved in processing and distributing healthcare payments through processors remain vulnerable to exploitation via this method.”

By BRENDAN McGAIR One of the interesting subplots for the division tournaments in R.I. boysâ€™ basketball is the use of neutral site high school gyms for Wednesdayâ€™s quarterfinals. The venues include North Providence, East Greenwich, East Providence, South Kingstown, Cumberland and Westerly. Breaking things down further, all Division I schools are heading to Div. II and III spots. In Division II all four games are taking place on Div. I grounds, while the Division III games are being held in Div. II gyms. Regarding our local entries, Division III top seed North Smithfield travels to Cumberland on Wednesday to face the survivor of Mondayâ€™s 8/9 matchup (Ponaganset at Juanita Sanchez). The Northmen will tip off at 8 p.m. following the Johnston-Toll Gate semifinal contest. Staying in Division III, should No. 7 seed Burrillville defeat No. 10 Moses Brown on Monday, the Broncos would head to Westerly to face second-seeded Middletown Wednesday night at 8. In Division II, top seed Cumberland will head to East Providence Wednesday for an 8 p.m. start against either No. 9 Tolman or No. 8 Exeter/West Greenwich. The Clippersâ€™ â€śRound of 8â€ť opponent will be determined Monday. Two teams who arenâ€™t even close geographically to South Kingstown will set foot on the Rebelsâ€™ home floor as No. 3 North Providence and sixth-seeded Shea will cross paths at 6 p.m. North Providence and Shea are on the same side of the Division II bracket as No. 2 seed Westerly. The idea was to keep the highest seed in the bracket as close to home as possible, hence the Bulldogs are heading to S.K. In Division I, the victor of Mondayâ€™s East Providence-Hope game will advance to face top seed La Salle Wednesday at North Providence. That game begins at 8 p.m. Looking ahead to Fridayâ€™s divisional semifinals, the four remaining Division I schools will head to CCRI-Warwick with the Division II entries using Bryant University. Division III will head to Roger Williams University. All three sites will feature doubleheaders that begin at 6 p.m. with the second game slated for an 8 oâ€™clock start. Next Sunday, the divisional finals will take place at Brown University. The Division II contest kicks off at 1 p.m followed by Division III (3 p.m.) and Division I (5 p.m.).

So in this example, we're being asked to salt the given compound inequality and then we're gonna graft the solution set on the number one. So we have an and statement here and notice in this case that are to inequalities air separate. So what we're going to do first is solved. Both of our inequality separate. So let's start with our 1st 12 X minus three is less than or equal deny. So the solve for X, we're going to start by adding three to both sides of our inequality. So we're gonna be left with two X is less than or equal to well, nine plus three is 12 and then to get X by itself, we're going to divide both sides by two and 12. Divided by two is six. So we're gonna have X is less than or equal to six. Okay, now we have to go ahead and solve our second inequality. So to do this, I could start by subtracting five from both sides of our inequality. And we have eight minus five, which is three. So we're gonna have X divided by negative. Three is less than three. So now to solve for X. We need to multiply both sides of our inequality by our denominator there, which is negative. Three. But remember, when you multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative, you have to flip your inequality sign. So the lesson sign is going become a greater than sign. And then we have three times Negative three, which is negative. Nine. So now we've solved our compound inequality. We found that X is less than or equal to six and X is greater than negative nine. So we can write this as one inequality. So remember when the start with our smallest value, which is negative, nine. And we're gonna flip it around so it will become less than X. Then we'll have our next one we have X is less than or equal to six. So this could be how we can write our compound inequality as one statement. Okay, Now we're being asked to graft us on a number line, so we're going to set up our number line. We're gonna put negative nine and six on here. Those heirarchy values and negative nine, we're gonna have an open circle. Could it's negative. Nine is less than X, but it's six. We're gonna have a close circle because X is less than or equal to six. And because X is in between negative nine and six on our number line, we're going to shade in between negative nine and six. So now we have solved and graph the giving compound inequality.
Luckily, I've already traversed Elisabeth Kubler-Ross' five stages of grief and have developed a foolproof progression of Netflix shows to match each stage. Maybe it has something to do with "breakup season," but it seems like everyone I know (myself included) is going through a breakup right now. All I know is that I’ve got a badly sprained ankle and a badly bruised heart, but luckily my Netflix queue can support me through this difficult time. I've been around this block before, so luckily I've already traversed Elisabeth Kubler-Ross' five stages of grief and have developed a foolproof progression of Netflix shows to match each stage. You're welcome. Isolation and Denial You’ll need a show with several seasons to get you through this first rough patch. For this, I recommend Battlestar Galactica. There’s definitely a real sense of isolation here: they’re keeping track of the population of the human race on a whiteboard, their planet is totally destroyed, and they’re just hyper-jumping around space forever trying not to get blown up by Cylons. I’d say that the arc of the series is fairly uplifting, kind of a back-to-the-Earth vibe that may make you want to travel to an organic farm in Costa Rica to really forget your beloved. This is all positive. Proceed to anger. When you’re entering the anger and disgust phase, it’s helpful to find a show you can really relate with. If you try to watch something too cheerful or emotionally healthy, like a documentary on meditating or something similar, it will make you want to smash things. Louie is a great choice here. What you need is a hardened, nearly defeated, cynical outlook on life and love. His repeated romantic failings aren’t going to be especially hopeful, but sometimes you just need to commiserate. When you’re able to look at others on the train without intense, irrational hatred, you’re ready to move on to bargaining. You’re thinking to yourself, “What if I had been a better partner?” and “What if I hadn’t spent all my time on the internet and had gone to the gym more often?” and also probably, “How much of my time have I lost to Netflix black holes?” Arrested Development is good for these bargaining nights. Everyone in the show is constantly having to make concessions, or is conniving, or giving up something they want to gain something greater. Plus, the Bluths are guaranteed to raise your spirits. I've also experimented with Breaking Bad during this stage, but I have to say that's a much, much darker way to explore bargaining. (In Breaking Bad Walter White is just gradually conceding his humanity.) You'll need all the laughter you can get to shore yourself for the next stage, depression. Depression is the worst stage of grieving. All you want to do is eat and sleep and nap. Ken Burns: The Civil War is the perfect companion during these motivation-deficit days. You will sleep straight through the vast majority of this series, but you will still feel smarter for having vaguely watched it. When you can stay alert for fifteen minutes at a time, you are ready to proceed to acceptance. Felicia Day’s web-series The Guild, now available on Netflix, is the perfect way to transition out of a weeks-long Netflix coma. The characters in the series negotiate their IRL existence with their online experience. They originally all meet on a gaming site, but eventually foster real-world relationships with one another. You must now leave the comfort of your Netflix embrace, turn off your computer, and re-enter the world once more.

Personnel: Ross Bellenoir (vocals, guitar, baritone guitar); Jesse Milnes (vocals, acoustic guitar, baritone guitar, fiddle); Emily Miller (vocals, fiddle); Stefan Amidon (vocals, drums); Zara Bode (vocals); Sam Kassirer (keyboards); Joseph DeJarnette (upright bass). Audio Mixer: Eric Merrill. Recording information: Northern Track Recording Studio, Wilmington, VT. For their second recording, the Sweetback Sisters continue to mine the roots of country cowgirl Americana … la Bob Wills with their own stamp of sweet harmony vocals and distinctive music that rodeo hearts can easily love. Zara Bode and Emily Miller are the unrelated sisters, joined by a love of classic Texas swing from the '40s tacked onto modern cautionary tales of cheatin' hearts and wanderlust. Recording in that mythical rural hotbed of Wilmington, VT, the Sweetbacks have a good idea of how it used to be in better days, despite having not really lived in a bygone era, and are convincing in that down-home recapitulation. They throw a little reggae into the mix of Miller's lone original, the unusually titled "My Uncle Used to Love Me But She Died," and put on "my best dress to walk out on you" during "Red Shoes Blues." Expertly covering the Wills lost-love evergreen "Feeling Bad," they also take the ballad/blues of Buck Owens' "It Don't Show on Me" to heart. While not soaring or overly cute, the Sisters' harmony vocals probe the depths of the spirit without shattering preconceptions, yet in their own way they sound unique. Playing the jaundiced skeptic to the hilt, they state on "They Say Virginia Is for Lovers" that they simply don't believe it. This delightful recording is short and to the point, and right up the alley of folkies or country purists, as the Sweetback Sisters push all the right buttons, gassed up and ready to move on. ~ Michael G. Nastos

Yes, I have... First, let me explain our test setup. Using 33 Mhz PCI Bus speeds, all we were able to get was 210 mb/sec throughput in our early lab tests. Te "bottleneck" is the PCI Bus speed if you use Gigabit NIC's using PCI interface. But if you get a CPU with 66 MHZ, PCI bus speeds, your throughput cap could me up to about 500 mb/sec. IN either of these speeds, we get 30 - 40% cpu usage at these rates (FULL ON TRAFFIC - using a traffic generator with Fiber Optic OC148 traffic emulator. Of course if you "hammer" a LAN at these rates, you'll hose the NAT tables in about 15 seconds... So we ran it in "bridge" mode.

With resources like that, efficiencies associated with focused component construction allow individual parts like these shock shafts to be mass-produced at a highly specialized plant, and then shipped globally to assembly facilities like Hamilton.
Carrie Underwood Talks Holiday Plans And What Her Husband Wants For Christmas What does a megastar like Carrie Underwood get her famous hockey husband, Mike Fisher, for Christmas? He tells her “nothing, unless it has a motor.” Carrie took a few minutes backstage during a stop on her Blown Away Tour in Detroit last week to talk with 99.5 WYCD’s morning show producer Steve Grunwald. During the interview she explained that she’s already bought him a tractor and a four-wheeler and for a wedding present; she also gave him a car, so, she says, “I’m out of things. I wouldn’t know what else with a motor to get him.” Guess the guy is out of luck? Since Mr. Underwood is currently not working due to the NHL lockout, perhaps she could buy him other types of motorized things, such as a food processor, a weed whacker, or maybe even a riding lawn mower. That would certainly help with his honey-do list. Which might also serve to ease Carrie’s mind a bit. As she explained, she planned her current tour to coincide with the NHL season, when Mike would be gone most of the time. The lockout, though, messed this plan up. Now, instead of playing hockey, Mike is at home doing….well, not a whole lot, according to Carrie. She says she’ll call him from the road and say, “‘What’d you do today?’ and he’ll be like, ‘I worked out, I played golf.’ Ohhh, must be nice.” Would Mike play in Europe? Carrie tells us that he did that during a previous lockout years ago, and hesitantly she recalls “Switzerland, I think?” He most likely wouldn’t do that now, though, because as she says he’s “kind of an older player,” even at age 31. “That’s like 50 in hockey years.” With their conflicting schedules, where will the busy couple spend Christmas? “Depends on his schedule,” says Carrie. Often, she explains, “they play right before and after [Christmas], literally the 24th and 26th, so last year was spent in Canada with his family.” Carrie’s schedule keeps her on tour through December 22, and she admits that she is kinda hoping to go home to Oklahoma and spend this Christmas with her family. The very successful Blown Away Tour (see photos) continues into December and then picks back up again in February. Regarding the tour so far, Carrie states that she’s “been really blessed this year, so proud of the album, the tour is going well, and [opening act] Hunter [Hayes] is great.” “He’s definitely got the young lady demo covered,” Carrie continues. “You can tell there are definitely people in the audience that are here to see Hunter, and stick around to see me, ’cause they already bought the ticket.” Watch the full Carrie Underwood interview on WYCD to also find out what Carrie and her “loner” friends ate for Thanksgiving dinner, what she does on the bus when she can’t sleep, and who else she fills a stocking for. Underwood’s latest single is “Two Black Cadillacs,” a song she admits is dark but “juicy.” - Nanci Haskin, 99.5 WYCD/Detroit
Ok its not really Starcraft 3 but I do spend quite a bit of my time playing Starcraft FA5 which for some reason people are searching Starcraft 3 to find it . As the name suggests FA5 is a flash based tower defense game that only resembles Starcraft in the fact that it has the same race classes and basic game concept; it is not a remake of the original game in flash. In the game you play as the Zerg and build up your defense against a Terran and Protoss attack. Its not a new game but very few Starcraft fans actually know about it and it is a great game to waste time and get a little Starcraft play adrenalin going. the game can be downloaded or played from newgrounds.com Article from Gamersyndrome.com

Digital forensics evidence: the legal framework. Opinion of experts in Malaysia. Cybersecurity Malaysia: its role in digital forensics. Expert witness: the completion of the perfect cycle. CyberSecurity Malaysia: the focal point in digital forensics. The future. Introduction The term digital forensics is still relatively new to Malaysia, even though our digital forensic analysts have appeared as an expert witness in several high profile cases. More awareness and promotion programmes have to be devised in order to educate the public, and in particular those in the legal communities. Overall, digital forensics are one tool in helping to solve crimes, especially when crimes involves the use of computers or any digital devices such as mobile telephones or PDAs (it can be computer crime or computer related crime). Data stored in such devices may be recovered and presented as evidence in court. The accused may, for example, try to delete any data stored in their computer with the intention of destroying evidence and avoiding successful prosecution. However, with digital forensic technology, any data that has been deleted may still be recovered. This certainly will help the court in adjudicating the case presented. Digital forensics evidence: the legal framework As a general rule, evidence is admissible if it is lawfully admitted at trial. At the time of writing this paper, the Malaysian Evidence Act 1950 only deals with the admissibility of documents produced by computers and of the statement contained in the document.1 A new provision, S90A is an exception to the hearsay rule, and provides that a document produced by a computer or a statement contain therein shall be admissible as evidence of any fact stated in the document whether or not the person tendering the same is the maker of such document or statement.2 Section 90A of the Malaysian Evidence Act 1950 provides as follows: 90A. Admissibility of documents produced by computers and of statements, contained therein. (1) In any criminal or civil proceeding a document produced by a computer or a statement contained in such document, shall be admissible as evidence of any fact stated therein if the document was produced by the computer in the course of its ordinary use, whether or not the person tendering the same is the maker of such document or statement. (2) For the purposes of this section it may be proved that a document was produced by a computer in the course of its ordinary use by tendering to the court a certificate signed by a person who either before or after the production of the document by the computer is responsible for the management of the operation of that computer, or for the conduct of the activities for which that computer was used. (3) (a) It shall be sufficient, in a certificate given under subsection (2), for a matter to be stated to the best of the knowledge and belief of the person stating it. (b) A certificate given under subsection (2) shall be admissible in evidence as prima facie proof of all matters stated in it without proof of signature of the person who gave the certificate. (4) Where a certificate is given under subsection (2), it shall be presumed that the computer referred to in the certificate was in good working order and was operating properly in all respects throughout the material part of the period during which the document was produced. (5) A document shall be deemed to have been produced by a computer whether it was produced by it directly or by means of any appropriate equipment, and whether or not there was any direct or indirect human intervention. (6) A document produced by a computer, or a statement contained in such document, shall be admissible in evidence whether or not it was produced by the computer after the commencement of the criminal or civil proceeding or after the commencement of any investigation or inquiry, in relation to the criminal or civil proceeding or such investigation or inquiry, and any document so produced by a computer shall be deemed to be produced by the computer in the course of its ordinary use.

[Bf-committers] Blender Foundation Development Team report week 42 + Meeting notes Sunday October 24th, 2010 nathan at blender.org Sun Oct 24 19:19:09 CEST 2010 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Yet another week has gone by with lots of activity. Janne worked on sequencer and render related bugs, closing 10 of them. Current fixes are mainly bandage, as sequencer would need recode to use the jobs system properly to function properly. Campbell fixed snapping pose bones and did a number of fixes on rotation related code. He also managed to do a workaround crash on startup when using ATi open source drivers. Blenderplayer builds again when using CMake. Cleaning and using stricter compiler warnings (and some of them now trigger errors instead) have been done. Nathan worked on Windows GHOST related issues, fixing modifier key bugs and investigated event system related bugs, specific to Windows. He moved COLLADA related bugs to wiki todo list, and asks for help from interested developers, to work on the issues and send in patches. For numbers and pictures about progress, see end of this message.

A certain big orange letter adorning restaurant windows has been scaring away customers. This “C,” indicating that the eatery in question received the poorest possible grade from the Health Department, has been keeping patrons away from even their regular haunts, according to the New York Post. Last week that paper surveyed the patrons of dining spots recently slapped with the doomed C, and many said they would stay away, regardless of their previous affection, until the grade went up. Now, Mike Bloomberg is in the same boat. The city’s — his city’s — Health Department has bestowed upon the mayor’s beloved Viand Cafe on the Upper East Side 36 violation points, more than enough to earn it the dreaded C grade. The Post reports that the inspectors found “evidence of mice” and called the facilities not sufficiently “vermin-proof.” Will the Mayor get spooked by the allegations and find another joint to nosh on salt-heavy snacks? Given the Post‘s dedicated coverage of this developing health inspection story, we’ll probably find out soon.

In addition to listening to Ron and Fez tonight, you may want to check out CNN even if Fox News is your preferred network. Why is that? Oh, just the fact that they’ll be using 3D holograms to talk to people “in-studio.” It’s just like Star Wars, the movie series that passed its sell-by date some time ago. Says USA Today, the mouthpiece of America’s third grade education: …the Obama spokesperson will be projected as a three-dimensional hologram, making it appear as if he or she is in the Manhattan studio with Blitzer. The network plans to conduct similar holographic interviews with representatives from the McCain campaign in Phoenix That, and CNN (and Fox News) broadcasts in splendid high-definition, unlike MSNBC, if you need another reason to take a peek this evening.

My favorite way is fresh off the neighbor's tree when they're not home. After that, this is my favorite raw apple dish - the ancient and excellent, Waldorf salad. It's a shame how some of the greatest American recipes fall out of fashion, and get lost in foamy waves of new, cutting edge cuisine. The ingeniously delicious Waldorf salad is a great example. Why isn’t this very healthy, and addictive, salad on every menu in the country? It's a masterpiece of perfectly paired tastes and textures. Sweet, crisp, juicy apples, aromatic celery, exploding grapes, and crunchy walnuts - all brought together with a light and creamy lemon dressing. This tasty bit of culinary Americana was invented by Oscar Tschirky, the maître d'hôtel of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City. It first appeared in 1896, much to the delight of the early "ladies who lunch." Old Oscar is also credited with creating another classic - eggs Benedict. Do yourself a favor and whip up a batch of Waldorf soon. This is a fairly basic version (which I believe is best), but dried fruit is also a common addition. Enjoy!

Goldberg, an Oscar-winning actress who was also the first African-American woman to preside over an Oscars ceremony, was absent from a clip segment showing past hosts. Her co-stars on the TV chat show "The View" Monday rallied around her and criticized those behind the awards show for excluding her from the montage. Goldberg appeared upset and kissed each of her fellow panelists on the cheek to thank them for their support on the air Monday. Academy Awards telecast producer Gil Cates told People.com Tuesday the omission was "an absolute oversight." "No harm was intended, and I feel very, very badly that she was left out," Cates told the magazine. "I'm going to call her and tell her that." Cates also said the clip segment in question was "supposed to be a montage of 80 exciting moments of the Academy Awards." "Basically, that was not a montage about hosts," Cates noted, adding former host Steve Martin didn't appear in the montage either.

- 30 Dec For first time travelers, packing wisely can be very confusing. Amateur travelers are easy to spot in a foreign country, you will find them dragging a huge backpack or a suitcase that is bright colored and filled with far more than they need. This luggage is usually bigger than their body, they are dressed in fashionable journey equipment. It is usually obvious by their appearance that they have visited the latest adventure gear store. They usually wear the most expensive trekking shoes and haven’t yet taken the time to break them in, so they may be limping from the blisters that come with new shoes. las vegas travel deals Travel Deal Price Las Vegas, NV $22 & up -- Las Vegas Hotel Sale incl.

You should keep in mind that exploration during your holidays is better if you do it in comfort. On your trip you will probably be walking most of the time and it is not easy to walk with 50 kg of luggage in your hand or on your back. Adventure travel may get your cloths dirty and if you are wearing expensive clothing then it may well be ruined. Sometimes there is a chance that your expensive luggage or gear will get stolen in foreign countries. Do you really want to bring an $800 bag? Lightweight backpacks are an ideal bag for any kind of adventure travel, but not all packs are equal. When you buy the backpacks, make sure that you buy dark colored bags and that they have a flap on top. You should pack your cloths in waterproof bags inside of your pack. Try to keep your pack as small as possible, but if you are mountaineering then you will probably need a larger pack to carry your specialized gear. When you are packing, think in terms of the maximum number of combinations for clothing. It’s a good idea to make sure that every shirt you bring can go with every pair of pants. Likewise jackets, dresses, and shoes. It is better to bring several light layers rather than one big heavy coat. That way you can adjust to variable temperatures. In terms of toiletries, these days with the problems associated with airport security, you are better off buying shampoo, toothpaste, and other items when you arrive. Don’t forget to bring an adaptor appropriate for your electronic items and the country you are going to! No matter what kind of travel it is, you should wear light and breathable clothing. Cotton shirts and cargo pants are the most comfortable clothes on any trip. Always wear dark colored cloths on your trip, so that even if it gets dirty it is not so easily visible. You don’t want to get a sun burn all over your body, so make sure you do include sun block and a hat which can protect you from sun. Knives are a no-no. Pick up a cheap knife when you arrive if you really need one. The truth is, you can find most of what you will need wherever it is you are going. A great place to get the specific tips on your particular form of adventure traveling is in magazines related to the particular adventure you are taking. You might also like

West Nile virus has made its way to West Texas, with three confirmed cases in Lubbock this week and hundreds more across the rest of the state. At the Texas Tech Paul L. Foster School of Medicine in El Paso, scientists are working to find a cure for the disease. According to Dr. Manjunath Swamy, a professor of biomedical sciences at the school, the cure for the disease could be well on its way, thanks to a treatment being developed based on autoimmune interference. “We have found that several RNAs can effectively kill West Nile,” Swamy said, “and target multiple related viruses.” Swamy said his lab has been working on synthesizing these RNAs, ribonucleic acids, so they can attack the vital genome. “The thing and this technology has potential,” Swamy said, “and within just six years of its discovery.” He said the process has been successful on mice, but still has a while to go before human treatment. “It will take time,” Swamy said. “It needs to be done on experimental animals, then toxicology and clinical trials.” Swamy said clinical trials can pose a problem, due to changes in the number of cases from year to year. “For example, last year we didn’t hardly have any cases,” Swamy said, “and this year we have seen that number jump.” Swamy said he is very hopeful the treatment will gain FDA approval and treat future West Nile outbreaks. “I would say within the next eight to 10 years,” he said, “we should see something.” To comment on this story: [email protected] • 766-8706
Any McGill Hitters? Open to playing any time of the week. Leave me a message. Also hoping to make it to some of the Saturday night round robins. Replies to This Discussion I work at McGill and was also looking for playing there during the winter. How does it actually works ? I have never played there. My level is around 4.0. To play at McGill you need access to the sports facilities - i'm an alumni so i think i pay about 40 dollars a month - i don't know what the rate for you would be. This gives you access to the indoor courts at mcgill as well as all the other courts/swimming pools but not the fitness center (gym). Should give you access to the Round Robins that they do on Saturday nights as well. You can book a court by calling in and requesting - it's supposed to be one day in advance, but they fill up quick and the next day becomes available. 2$ for each hour. The available time slots for the courts can be found online at the mcgill athletics website. Hope that helps talk to you soon! I could play at Mcgill. Let me know! think you can make it there in time? cutting it close now... edit: nevermind - i've decided on other plans... i have a week off work next week, do you want to hit at Jeanne mance sometime?
Too many GOP talking points are not truthful The Republican Party has been taken over by the far right. Conspiracy theories, half truths and outright lies are everywhere. 1) One of the drumbeats of the last 3.5 years is Obama is a socialist. This is false; actually pants on fire. 2) GOP’s convention theme of “We Built It” was taken out of context. Obama was talking about businesses, not building the roads and bridges. 3) Romney’s welfare ads say Obama takes work out of welfare. Fact checked many times as false. Obama is giving waivers to states to make work with welfare better. They must have a credible plan to increase employment by 20 percent. 4) The government takeover line about “Obamacare” repeated by Republican-elected officials (lie of the year in 2010). It’s through private insurance companies. 5) Romney’s own version of the death panels states that “Obamacare” has an unelected board that will tell seniors what treatments Medicare will cover. Again, not true. It’s a panel of experts whose purpose is to come up with ideas to slow Medicare spending. They have no say in treatment of any individual, and Congress can overrule their recommendations. 6) Romney says he has a plan for people with pre-existing conditions. Sorry, false; only if you have maintained continuous health insurance coverage (or, as Romney said on “60 Minutes,” people can go to the emergency room). These were no gaffes; they are called lies, and if you repeat a lie often enough, people believe it.

Joe Manganiello Wants To Play A Superhero, Probably Batman Joe Manganiello doesn’t play a superhero in Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike. He plays a male stripper. But even guys who take their clothes off while on screen dream of one day slipping on the skin-tight suits of the comic book industry’s most recognizable heroes, and Manganiello is no different. In an interview with AICN on behalf of Soderbergh’s new film, the True Blood actor recalled his time spent on the set of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man (he played Flash Thompson in a brief role), as well as his plan to audition for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel (his True Blood schedule got in the way). And when asked point blank if he thinks he might get considered for an eventual Batman reboot, Manganiello doesn’t bat an eye – no pun intended. From your mouth to God’s ears, man. I mean of course, I grew up, as a kid, I read comic books, and I watched every single comic book movie that ever. ... You know, I was a big sci-fi fan, I was just that kid. I’m a fanboy at heart. So, yeah, that is on my radar, and I think in the back of my mind, even going getting classical theatre training to the way that I work out at the gym, all of it in the back of my mind has been to build this thing, this career in order to play ... a superhero the way I would have liked to see it as a kid. And I think that was the really disappointing thing about the Superman situation was that I think that I know comic books really well, and I had a really fresh take on the character and I really think I ... I was excited to share a take on where to take him and give him a little more edge.” If he’s looking to give a character more edge, then Batman’s the way to go. The “reboot” question is a hot topic these days, what with Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man headed to theaters on July 3. Some see it as a necessary move when a franchise has exhausted most avenues. Others think it’s a cheap way for a studio to recycle material for more cash. But what do you think Warner Bros. is going to do with Batman a few years after Christopher Nolan brings his story to a close with The Dark Knight Rises? They’re going to reboot the franchise. They won’t let Batman sit in mothballs when they can be making money off of a familiar character. Now maybe Manganiello gets a different opportunity, perhaps as part of this Justice League movie that’s being rumored. Then he might be able to play Batman without having to build up a whole new trilogy. Truthfully, when it comes to comic book franchises, the success of Nolan’s film and this summer’s Avengers proves that most bets are off, and studios have to start thinking outside of the box to appeal to a smart and savvy fanbase. Hopefully Manganiello gets his shot. He sounds like he knows his stuff. And we’re going to need a new Batman … eventually. Back to top
