In a Valentine's Day blog, OnlineUniversities.com named Wagner College as one its "10 Most Innovative Colleges in the Country," along with Harvard, MIT and Carnegie-Mellon.
Wagner College was cited for innovation in the field of community awareness.
"Many educators are starting to appreciate the need for student activism in their respective communities," said OnlineUniversities.com. "To this end they are creating service learning programs, where students use classroom knowledge to benefit their neighbors. Wagner College is a leader of this movement. The focus here is on 'connected learning,' and students must take three learning community courses with associated weekly community volunteer work. By graduation students will have completed hundreds of hours of community service. Students are encouraged to take an Alternative Spring Break of serving instead of partying. Wagner's approach to learning-by-doing is a truly innovative way to produce well-rounded graduates."

Dubai was a fishing and pearling village less than 50 years ago, which is hard to believe since today it is one of the most modern cities in the world. The architecture of its modern buildings and sky scrapers is the finest in the Middle East.
Sightseeing within the city centre is split mainly between Deira, on the right bank of the Dubai creek and historic Bur Dubai on the other bank. Deira, is home to the best shopping and is the business and commercial centre of the city. Bur Dubai has less of a bustling atmosphere and is home to a number of tourist attractions, including the Dubai Museum, Grand Mosque and Sheikh Saeed Al-Maktoum's House.
Dubai is now also home to the second most famous ocean liner in the world, the QE2.

Is the Pastor's wife to be the "co-pastor," the church's "First Lady," or just another member?
What role should the wife of a Senior Pastor have in the church? Steven Furtick, Greg Laurie and James MacDonald offer their takes here:
(Can't see the video? Please click through to the site)
James MacDonald's closing remark in this clip is particularly insightful:
We're to love our wives. . . . the way we treat our wives in public is a signal not only to our own wives but to our congregation of what that's supposed to look like . . . and I just don't think there should be any further expectation beyond that…
This brings up an important question, not just for pastors, but for all Christian men:
How are we treating our wives in public? Do we treat them better in publicly than privately? Do we treat them better privately than publicly? Are we striving to be consistent in how we show honor to our wives wherever we are?

This document lists some highlights of Erlang 5.7/OTP R13A (unpatched), compared to the previous version Erlang 5.6/OTP R12B, with focus on things not already released as R12B patches.
Note: This document was compiled at the time when R13A was released and does not list any features introduced in R13 patches.
There SMP performance is significantly improved and will allow most applications to scale much better on systems with many cores or processors. Listed below are some of the most important improvements:
Support for Unicode is implemented as described in EEP10. Formatting and reading of unicode data both from terminals and files is supported by the io and io_lib modules. Files can be opened in modes with automatic translation to and from different unicode formats. The module 'unicode' contains functions for conversion between external and internal unicode formats and the re module has support for unicode data. There is also language syntax for specifying string and character data beyond the ISO-latin-1 range.
The BIFs atom_to_binary/2, binary_to_atom/2 and binary_to_existing_atom/2 have been added.
Nodes belonging to different independent clusters can now co-exist on the same host with the help of a new environment variable setting ERL_EPMD_PORT. The environment variable is used by Erl_interface and J_interface as well.
Reltool is a release management tool. It analyses a given Erlang/OTP installation and determines various dependencies between applications. The graphical frontend depicts the dependencies and enables interactive customization of a target system. The backend provides a batch interface for generation of customized target systems. The application is still somewhat limited and should be regarded as experimental in this release. The intention is that this application will be a valuable tool for making both traditional Erlang target systems as well as standalone components in Erlang.
wxErlang is an Erlang binding to the WxWidgets GUI library which provides support for cross platform GUI applications. wxErlang is still in beta status and the intention is that it shall replace GS in a later stage. The Erlang debugger is also shipped in a wxErlang version.
A support client module for SSH and SFTP, ct_ssh, has been introduced.
Test case groups have been introduced. With this feature it's possible to execute groups (possibly nested) of test cases.
A group definition contains a name tag, a list of properties and a list of test cases (including possible nested group definitions). The properties make it possible to execute test cases in parallel, in sequence and in shuffled order. It is also possible to repeat test cases according to different criteria.
The analysis now accepts opaque type declarations and detects violations of opaqueness of terms of such types. Starting with R13, many Erlang/OTP standard libraries (array, dict, digraph, ets, gb_sets, gb_trees, queue, and sets) contain opaque type declarations of their main data types. Dialyzer will spit out warnings in code that explicitly depends on the structure of these terms.
Added support for handling UTF segments in bitstreams and for detecting obvious type errors in these segments. Warning: This code is not terribly tested though since there are very few Erlang programs which use Unicode-based binaries - not surprising since this is a new language feature of R13.
Strengthened the discrepancy identification when testing for equality and matching between terms of different types. This detects more bugs in code.
See the Dialyzer documentation and release notes for even more enhancements.
The "new_ssl" implementation is significantly improved and should be near product status now. The new SSL is implemented in pure Erlang except for the crypto routines that are implemented in the crypto driver which is an interface to libcrypto from OpenSSL.
The Erlang scanner has been augmented as to return white-space, comments and exact location of tokens. This means that the scanner can easily be used in tools such as editors, pretty printers, syntax highlighters etc. where it is important to be able recreate the original source document.

EDMONTON - Cake makers Gloria Bednarz and Guenter Hess crafted a homage to romance with their award-winning replica of the 1981 wedding cake of Princess Diana and Prince Charles in a competition Feb. 3 at the West Edmonton Mall.
The expertly crafted cake took top honours at the contest, held in the run-up to the opening of the exhibit, Diana, A Celebration, which launches Feb. 9 at the mall.
Bednarz and Hess, whose company is called The Art of Cake, created a five-tier cake featuring a spray of roses and lilies of the valley on top made from icing.
The cake was put together based on a photograph of the original version created for the royal couple, made by chef David Avery of the Royal Naval Cookery School. The original was a fruitcake, more than five feet high and adorned by both the Prince's and his family's royal coats of arms, the couple's first initials and roses, lilies of the valley and orchids. Of course, one cake wouldn't have been enough to feed all the guests, so there were another 26 cakes at the wedding reception, most supplied by royal watchers.
Another local reproduction of that iconic cake by Tanya English and Tara Lake of Once Upon A Cake took second-place honours. Candace Ramjohn and Betty Friesen of Cakes by Candace came in third place.
The biggest challenge, said Bednarz, was the short time line to complete the decorating of the cake. Normally, a cake like the one put together by The Art of Cake would take eight to 10 hours to decorate. But the competition was only five hours long. All six competitors worked straight through the event, without a single break.
"We used every minute, absolutely," said Bednarz.
English noted that the competitors had to use royal frosting, because that's what the original cake was slathered with. Royal frosting is thicker and more difficult to pipe than other frosting choices.
"It was physically difficult; we were just sweating," said English.
Friesen said another difficult feat was to replicate the various pictures and insignia that adorned the cake. The famous wedding took place before the dawn of the Internet, and photographs and information about the cake were not easy to come by.
The Art of Cake won $500 for the first-place effort, and the cake will be displayed at the Queen of Hearts Gala on Feb. 7, an event that marks the opening of the Diana, A Celebration exhibition.

By Kathryn Doyle
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Despite public health campaigns, too many people are still smoking around little kids with asthma, say U.S. researchers.
According to national data from 2003 to 2010, half of all children ages 6 to 19, even those with asthma, have been exposed to secondhand smoke.
For kids ages 6 to 11, even low levels of second hand smoke were linked to more missed school days, trouble sleeping, less physical activity and more wheezing, the authors write in Academic Pediatrics.
The fact that kids with asthma are still inhaling others' smoke is a real problem, said Dr. Karen M. Wilson, who studies children's' exposure to secondhand smoke at Children's Hospital Colorado in Aurora.
"Secondhand smoke consists of particulate matter, and chemicals, both of which induce an inflammatory response in the airways, which can cause an asthma attack," said Wilson, who was not involved in the study.
Limiting physical activity is also dangerous because it increases the chances a child will become obese, which worsens asthma, she told Reuters Health.
For older children, secondhand smoke was not linked to those negative symptoms.
"We speculated that this may be because similar levels of exposure may mean different things at different ages," Dr. Lara Akinbami said.
"Adolescents may have more sporadic exposure (hanging with friends) compared to younger children who may be more chronically exposed at home," Akinbami, who led the study at the National Center for Health Statistics in Hyattsville, Maryland, told Reuters Health by email.
Other research has indicated that only smoking in one room of the house is not enough to protect kids, Akinbami said.
Secondhand smoke did not seem to worsen asthma symptoms for black children, but they tend to be exposed to more smoke and to have worse symptoms to start with, Akinbami said.
The study included a very small number of black children who were not exposed to secondhand smoke, which could have made it difficult to compare smoking and nonsmoking homes, she added.
"I think the most important factor is that even low level exposure - the kind of exposure that might happen with a parent who smokes outside - can have negative consequences," Wilson said.
"Not smoking at all, and limiting exposure from other sources, such as neighboring apartments, is the best way to protect children with asthma," she said.
The report notes that over the past several years secondhand smoke exposure has dropped for adults more than for kids.
"This is because the clean indoor air laws are designed to protect individuals in workplaces, which includes bars and restaurants," Amy Ferketich, a tobacco control researcher at The Ohio State University in Columbus, said.
"Children tend to be exposed to (secondhand smoke) in homes and cars, and these places are not included in most clean indoor air laws and policies," Ferketich, who was not involved in the study, said.
Though most adults already know that smoking around kids is not a good idea, more can be done, according to Wilson and the other experts.
All recommended that clean indoor air policies be extended to cover multi-unit housing.
"Resources, such as state quitlines, need to be well promoted, and provide comprehensive cessation services," Wilson said. "Parents should work with their health care providers, and their children's providers, to reduce exposure and quit themselves, in order to protect their children."

The Aviator
I'm a sucker for lavish recreations of Hollywood's Golden Age and they don't come much more spectacular than Martin Scorsese's epic retelling of the life of Howard Hughes, The Aviator. The story and various legends of Howard Hughes could fill a couple of films. He was rich, by all accounts insane, and had an enormous influence on everything from aviation history to the dismantling of the Hollywood studio system. His life was by turns both enviably glamorous and enormously tragic. The Aviator doesn't try to completely deconstruct Hughes because I think Scorsese realizes that there is something fundamentally mysterious about the man that no one key event from his life or particular psychological tic will ever fully explain. Instead, Scorsese focuses on Hughes as a man of his moment, documenting his rise and just hinting at the fall to come.
The Aviator begins as Hughes (played by current Scorsese muse Leonardo DiCaprio) is commanding both a film production unit and a group of stunt pilots for his one film as Director, Hell's Angels. His obsessive style exasperates both his crew and the money men in charge of bankrolling his endeavor (though they work for Hughes). His painstaking attention to detail regardless of cost is virtually unheard of in Hollywood because as an independently wealthy director he is beholden to no one. He stretches the shoot for months waiting for clouds to appear. Finally, he scraps the at-long-last finished film because it wasn't shot for sound and was finished just as silent films were on the wane. He reshoots the film because he can.Continue Reading

DURHAM — Physicists from the University of New Hampshire's Space Science Center have been funded by NASA to develop key technological components needed for instruments on board next-generation small research satellites known as "CubeSats."
The three-year, $369,948 competitive grant was awarded through NASA's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, or EPSCoR, Research Infrastructure Development (RID) program. The project involves three scientists from the UNH Institute the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space and department of physics, two collaborators from Dartmouth College, and several regional industrial partners.
The project's principal investigator is research professor Antoinette Galvin, who also serves as the director for the New Hampshire NASA EPSCoR program headquartered at UNH. NASA EPSCoR establishes partnerships with government, higher education, and industry that are designed to effect lasting improvements in a state's or region's research infrastructure and R&D capacity. In addition to the research and technology development, the awards enable faculty development and higher education student support.
For the multifaceted RID project, associate professor Marc Lessard is lead scientist for work aimed at developing miniaturized instrumentation for a magnetometer that could fly on pint-sized CubeSat satellite missions. Associate professor James Connell will lead work to develop scaled-down electronics to support high-energy particle instruments similar to ones he and colleagues have developed for standard-sized spacecraft.
The Dartmouth co-investigators, professor Kristina Lynch (formerly of UNH) and associate professor Robyn Millan, will further ongoing technology development directed toward the goal of an orbiting "swarm" of multiple CubeSats that will work together to make multipoint investigations of geospace phenomena.
"NASA's EPSCoR program allows our state to build up technical and scientific expertise and internal infrastructure to face the challenges of today's competitive research," says Galvin. "The program is noteworthy in that our partnerships include the practice of pledging matching funds and an emphasis on promoting student participation in, for example, CubeSat development — a key component of our RID programs at UNH and at Dartmouth College."
The innovative 10x10x10-centimeter CubeSat satellites, which are generally auxiliary payloads on previously planned missions, provide low-cost, ready access to space exploration for university graduate students and researchers. UNH is currently working on the FIREBIRD (Focused Investigations of Relativistic Electron Burst Intensity, Range, and Dynamics) CubeSat mission slated for launch in 2013.
EPSCoR was established by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 1979, with a goal of strengthening U.S. research and education in science and engineering. NSF designated New Hampshire an EPSCoR state in 2004, and in 2007 the state became eligible for NASA EPSCoR funding. Since then, in addition to the recent RID funding, research awards totaling over $2,740,000 under the administration of UNH have come to the state through the NASA program, including another recent award for $744,432 for research on the effects of microgravity on the human eye that is led by Jay Buckey, professor of medicine at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth.

Jailing juveniles
Kentucky is on the brink of sweeping reforms in how it treats youths who wind up in the court system — especially those who commit minor crimes or "status offenses," actions that would not be an offense at all for adults, such as running away or missing school.
The jailing of youthful status offenders simply for being truant is one of Kentucky's greatest shames when it comes youth law. It puts the state among only a few in the nation that do so despite nearly unanimous consensus among experts it is a disastrous policy if the goal is to keep troubled children out of trouble and in school.
Now, after months of study by a statewide task force and the tireless efforts of legislators, juvenile justice officials, social services, judges, prosecutors, child advocates and many others, two key lawmakers are backing legislation aimed at improving how we treat status offenders, as well as other children involved in the juvenile justice system.
Yet last-minute opposition is threatening to derail those efforts because of some who still want the option of throwing truant kids in jail.
Senate Bill 200 filed Wednesday by Sen. Whitney Westerfield, a Hopkinsville Republican, has the potential to effect what one child advocate called a "sea change" in the state's juvenile justice system.
With bipartisan support of Sen. Westerfield, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Rep. John Tilley, a Hopkinsville Democrat, who is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, SB 200 could enact broad reforms that are greatly overdue.
"I think it will change the landscape for kids who make a mistake," said Terry Brooks, executive director of Kentucky Youth Advocates, whose group has worked for years to improve the system, especially when it comes to status offenders.
The two lawmakers outlined their goals in an opinion piece in last Sunday's Courier-Journal.
The multiple causes of truancy as well and other status offenses were described in detail in a 2011 Courier-Journal series in which nearly all officials agreed the juvenile system needed reforms, especially when it came to Kentucky's high rate of jailing status offenders.
A task force co-chaired by Sen. Westerfield and Rep. Tilley spent months researching Kentucky's juvenile justice system with the outside expertise of Pew Charitable Trusts, which played a key role in changes to the adult correctional system in 2011.
The result is SB 200, filed in preliminary form last week.
But a final version of the bill has yet to emerge, in part because some opponents are stubbornly resisting one of the main goals of the bill — to keep status offenders, mainly kids considered truant, out of jail.
This is despite the fact that state Department of Juvenile Justice officials insist such kids don't belong in juvenile detention centers with more serious offenders, federal law discourages it and child advocates agree it is a terrible policy for kids who suffer abuse, neglect, mental illness, homelessness and other social ills that interfere with school attendance.
"You have a lot of folks not willing to give up on what they call 'the hammer,' " said Sen. Westerfield. "That's unfortunate."
Among them, apparently, is the Kentucky Association of School Administrators.
"I think there's pretty universal agreement that nobody wants status offenders in detention," said Wayne Young, executive director of the association. But he still wants the hammer.
"In the end, there has to be some sort of enforcement mechanism," he said,
A goal of the bill was to remove status offenders entirely from the courts and create a system of services to address problems that keep them from attending school. Already some communities around Kentucky have launched their own programs with remarkable success in reducing truancy and helping families.
Kentucky has come too far on this issue to turn back now. Lawmakers need to do what's best for Kentucky's kids, not a few adults wedded to failed practices.

Day 364 The Beautiful Changes Inside and Struggling To Hit 1500 Calories
The Beautiful Changes Inside and Struggling To Hit 1500 Calories
My Saturday stole seven hours of my Sunday, so with Saturday night ending at 7am---I knew that Sunday was going to be an altered day. I still managed to be up by noon, only because Irene had to leave town by 1pm to meet a friend in Stillwater and I wanted to have lunch with her before she left. We enjoyed some tacos at our dining room table before Irene left, then Courtney and I grabbed a script and headed for the living room to see if I'd forgotten anything from the night, er, uh...morning before.
I sincerely have to thank everyone in my life for being so supportive of me. Accepting the responsibility of a stage production seemed like the last thing in the world that I needed to add to my already busy schedule. But with everyone from family to co-workers, and even my boss—all understanding how monumentally important this is to my journey, even if they think I'm crazy for the schedule, they still understand and support. You see, this is much more than a play to me. It's also a symbol of my freedom from obesity. Not only am I breaking free from the chains of being nearly 300 pounds overweight, I'm determined to do all of the things I couldn't before just to show morbid obesity who's in charge now. And to remind myself that I can. I don't have to be that reserved, insecure, self-loathing guy anymore. Losing weight is giving me the freedom and the confidence to be me, the real me, possibly for the first time in my life. The transformation I speak of within these pages is so much bigger than any physical change. Yes, the physical changes surely provide some wonderful moments and "wow" reactions from people around me. But the changes inside, oh the beautiful changes inside! These internal changes provide me with an endless supply of my own personal "wow" reactions. I'm very thankful for the understanding from everyone in my life. I'm a very lucky guy indeed.
Irene's plans called for her to enjoy dinner with her friends. It was just Courtney and me for dinner here at the house. I grabbed a couple of chicken breast from the freezer and started to take them to the outdoor grill before deciding that this was a job for the George Foreman Grill on the counter top. I whipped up a couple of servings of mashed potatoes and warmed some green beans and in not long at all a completely satisfying and low calorie meal was on the table. The breast were small, about 150 calories each, the potatoes—130, and the green beans with an added slice of American cheese melted over—checked in at 50 calories per serving. 330 calories for the whole plate, not bad at all, and delicious!
Play rehearsal was fantastic. Some scenes were better than others, but it's really coming together. This is going to be a fine production. I arrived home from rehearsal with a whopping 800 calories remaining for the day. Oops. I mismanaged my calories the other way today. I didn't eat enough earlier! Now it was nearly 11pm and I was sitting at only 700 calories. I knew I wasn't going to force down 800 calories before bed, but I did make myself a mushroom with extra cheese pizza on a pita for 220 and then I grabbed a banana and a dream bar ice cream treat. All of this brought my calorie total to 1,090, still under my "required" 1200---But oh well, I'll have to manage better next time! It's so funny that I had a "problem" getting to 1500 today, that's crazy really. Below 1200 isn't really good for the metabolism, but seriously---that's a rarity.
Monday will be Day 365! But Tuesday the 15th is officially my one year anniversary. I guess I'm celebrating both days. The 365th day of my journey and then the actual anniversary of Day 1. If you're new to these writings, I encourage you to go back and read from Day 1. That's the only way to fully understand the changes and epiphanies I've experienced along this road. Those experiences and epiphanies come one day at a time. I didn't know how I would do this on Day 1. I was walking on faith and sheer determination. But what has unfolded is nothing short of a miracle to me. Day by day a complete understanding of where I always went wrong before became completely clear. And with that clarity came a very simple approach to winning this time. I hope you invest the time to read if you have the chance.
It's Monday morning as I write this Sunday post. I've got to jump in the shower and head to the studio for my morning radio show. Tonight's Day 365 post will be a wonderful thing, I can't wait! Thank you for reading. Goodnight and...
Good Choices,

sounds like a great day Sean..Enjoy your day today and relish in the reflection of where you've come from and where you will go in your future.ReplyDelete
I never have a problem making at least 1200 calories and usually struggle to stay at 1500. Since I spent the weekend in NYC I think I probably ate more than that. Can I give you some of my extra? I'll say Happy Anniversary now since I'm reading this on Monday. Can't wait to read today's blog!ReplyDelete
Boy, how about those Houston Cougars, huh?ReplyDelete
Congrats on your last day of your first year. I know there were be lots more anniversaries to come.ReplyDelete
It's generous of you to share this "inside" journey with everyone...it gives those of us who haven't made our first anniversary a real picture of what it is like, and something to look forward to! It's exciting, and I'm happy for you.ReplyDelete
Wow! Sean struggling to eat enough! I bet a year ago nobody would ever have believed that could be the case. That really IS a turn around. I'll be celebrating the day that happens to me!ReplyDelete
Best wishes,
Bearfriend xx
An entier year... Wow! I hope youa re VERY proud of yourself. you are so inspiring to everyone including me.ReplyDelete
Sean, your dedication to your blog is amazing. A whole year! That's awesome.ReplyDelete
PS- Can I borrow a few calories? My account is about to be overdrawn and it's only 1:30.
The best year ever eh? Congrats on sticking so solidly with it. Proof that consistency is the key!ReplyDelete
I feel very fortunate to have come across your blog about a week ago, Sean. Ever since, I have been diligently reading through each entry, from day 1 up to today---and I'm finally caught up, just in time for your weight-loss-journey anniversary! I feel incredibly grateful that you have shared the day-in, day-out struggles and triumphs of a successful loser here. I am reigniting my own hopes for weight loss partially because of what I've read here. You've given me hope. I'm going to see how a simple plan similar to yours works for me, the Queen of Overcomplication! I'll be starting my own Day 1 tomorrow :).ReplyDelete

Hi Sean. I'm Kelly from NY. I got your blog site from a mutual friend of ours - Lisa in Texas. I just want to thank you for breaking it down in such simple terms. It finally clicked for me 11 days ago. I've been doing WW for 2 years, but the last 11 days have been so freeing & simple. Thanks for that. You're such an inspiration! (freewebs.com/kellyny)ReplyDelete
Hurray Sean! Your incredible entries have been a strong motivation to me. Its amazing to see what can happen in a years time when you keep it simple. Calories in Calories out. I've set a boundary and there is actually freedom within the margins. Celebrate your vast achievement!ReplyDelete
Thank you SEAN!
Hey there Superman!! A whole year and the commitment is still going strong...the calorie counting and staying within your limits is second nature, the exercise keeps increasing. What's not to love about a superhero like you? :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for caring just as much about our travels as we all do about yours. :)
Hi Sean, Sounds like you're working it out with the schedule flip ups and still able to maintain positive weight-sanity behaviors. Good on you! Keep up the great work and you will have true reason to celebrate those one year markers. You're changing on the inside-out and not just on the outside. Now that is something to be proud of...!ReplyDelete

What are they?
A hutch is a predominately wooden box for rabbits. The usually have two compartments and two or more doors, some meshed and some solid wood. The smaller enclosed area gives the rabbit somewhere to hide in if it's scared. Sometimes they come in double heights and sometimes over the top of a run. These are mainly used outdoors but can also be used indoors.
(Image from www.deemillen.co.uk)
(Image from www.forshamcountryarks.co.uk)
What are the advantages?
Hutches are quite easy to get hold of as they tend to be the first thought for rabbit housing. They also work well for areas with limited space. Hutches can also be used as a base area for rabbits in the home while they free range within a room or rooms.
What are the disadvantages?
Most hutches on the market are not big enough to meet the minimum requirements for rabbit housing, they are also quite difficult to clean out.
OK, so I want to go for a hutch, what do I do now?
Some good suppliers of large hutches are:
Animal Magic Pet Supplies
Ebay guy
Forsham Arks
Happy Hutch
Rabbit Hutches UK
The Rabbit Hutch Shop
If a hutch is used alone it should be at least 6 foot long, 2 foot high and 2 foot deep to allow the rabbit or rabbits space to move around.
It can be a good idea to fit non-slip lino to the bottom of the hutch and secure the edges with wood battens, this stops urine soaking into the wood and makes it easier to clean out. Rabbits in hutches need attached runs or aviaries or at least 8 hours in a larger area. Runs can be attached with cat flaps or tunnels.

Changes in temperature can affect a rabbit's health so in a setup like this if the rabbits are outside they MUST be able to get indoors through their own choice if they need to.

This morning I ran to my local UPS location with one thing in my mind: my Drum Rockers, sitting in a box, waiting for them. The drums come in a large box, with the Rock Band 2 logo and the subtitle "Premium Drum Set." Opening the big box gets you many little boxes. Putting the Drum Rocker together didn't look like it would be an easy task, even after the twenty minutes of unboxing all the components.
Here's what we started with:
And that's before we unwrapped any of the cables or electronics. Setting everything up took about an hour, and I'm still tweaking placement of the pads and the cymbals to my taste; everything on the drums can be adjusted and moved to suit your own drumming needs. I haven't had a chance to twist-tie the cables, but here we go:
You can see the new Rock Band 2 drums to the right of the Drum Rockers, and boy do they look and feel tiny now. I've had a chance to play a few songs with the premium drum set, and so far it's amazing. Quieter than what you're used to, heavy as hell, with the ability to take quite the beating. The one thing that has begun to bother me is that without the pedal attaching to anything directly, it tends to slide around my hardwood floors. The set comes with velcro to alleviate that problem, but I'm not keen on putting velcro down anywhere.
We're going to be abusing the drums in the coming days, and expect a more in-depth look at the drums with our Rock Band 2 review, but so far one thing is clear: this is a very high-quality peripheral that simply feels great to play. I'm going to have a hard time going back to anything else. This doesn't feel like a toy, this feels like an actual drum set. Which it is. It also works with the first Rock Band, and hopefully with Guitar Hero: World Tour.
I can't talk about the game, but if anyone has questions about the hardware, I'll try to answer them in the comments.

9 a.m. in the Classroom room
That's from one of the schedule sheets hanging inside the entrance to the Jays' clubhouse here. The pitchers all have a meeting at 9 a.m. this morning and they need to report to the "Classroom room."
A couple sheets over was the schedule for today's first official workout, and plenty of pitchers were heading over to check out what stations they needed to go to first and which groups they've been place in. There are four groups for bullpen sessions, and some of the names are in bold and some aren't, leading to some confusion.
"Those are the guys who already made the team," quipped T.J. Beam.
Dirk Hayhurst — who enjoys chatting with us scribes and is a soon-to-be published writer himself — walked over and tossed in a self-deprecating jab: "Am I even on the list? Or did I get cut already?" This from the guy who was released last week and then subsquently re-signed.
Some new position player arrivals today include Alex Rios (sans mohawk), Vernon Wells and Mighty Joe Inglett. We chatted with John McDonald and Rios a bit about life as new fathers, and neither got much sleep over the offseason. Rios, whose daughter is seven months old, was asked if he mastered the art of diaper changing.
"No," he said with a laugh. "I actually haven't changed one yet."
Rios also said he didn't do much over the winter, even skipping out on Vernon Wells' birthday party. Wells, sitting a few lockers over, chuckled when Rios brought that up. I suggested that the party should've been held in Puerto Rico. "I know!" Rios agreed.
After the meeting, pitchers and catchers will begin their workout today with good old-fashioned stretching on the team's "agility field," which is just a plot of grass between two practice diamonds with a grid of lines painted on it. Two years ago, it was just a field. Now, it's got a super cool name!
Starbucks: Located and enjoyed. Grande White Mocha, because they don't carry Irish Cream anymore. A Grande Irish Cream Mocha is my drink of choice at any other coffee joint.
In my CD player: The Killers — Hot Fuss, because as much as I love this Vegas band, that first album is still their best.
Last night: Watched a three-hour Baseball Tonight special, which they said at the start was aimed at previewing all 30 teams. Funny, I don't recall them bringing up the Jays.
Tonight: Trying to find the Flight of the Conchords episode from last night somewhere online. No HBO at the ol' condo. Not cool, especially when the Wife calls laughing to see if I watched the show. No, I did not. Thanks for asking.

A question for you. Do we get a sandwich pick for Brad Wilkerson signing a minor league deal with the Sox, or do we only get draft picks if they sign a MLB contract?
Ya I was wondering about that too.
Nothing for Wilky, no. Sorry guys.
It's disappointing, so no pick for either Mench or Wilkerson after carrying those guys in the last half in 2008. So I guess we get a sandwich pick for Zaun and Burnett and a first rounder for Burnett which is so late in the first round it might as well be a sandwich pick.
Go back to listening to Arcade Fire.
Great coverage of Spring Training so far Jordan, you're a machine.
Good to read that Vernon Wells will be lighter on his feet this year. I think he's in for a big year.
Commissioner Bud Selig's comments yesterday on steroids and HGH are a joke. He states:
"Let's just say I'm going to monitor that situation closely," he said. "I honestly don't know how anyone could have done more than we've already done."
**Couldn't do more-how about explaining why he allowed the awarding of the MVP in 2003 to A-Rod when he knew A-Rod had tested positive twice? How about pressing to have the other 103 names from the report released?
Cito's comments on McGowan are a wake up call and concern. I still think the issue on McGowan is "if" he comes back more than when he comes back. I have stated before this is a seriousinjury/operation and a lot of guys never make it back.
Thank you Cito for your honesty by comparision to the consistent JP spin:
Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi also said that McGowan's timetable is subject to change.
"Right now, we're shooting for May," Ricciardi said. "It could be longer. I don't think sooner is a possibility."
After hearing Cito's comments on McGowan, I would much rather see them take their time with him and make sure he is completely healthy for 2010. Everyone has all but written off this season, and even though I don't completely agree with that, I'd hate to see them bring him back early just for the sake of trying to salvage it. Healthy McGowans and Marcums are a necessity for the future of this team.
I don't think McGowan will be back,He reminds me of Burnett, always on the DL.
As for Wells the only reason he has a personal trainer is for the WBC so he can play with the big boys, the reason I say this is he never did it before for the Jays, now he will keep the trainer with him this year so it won't look like he did it for the WBC. We all know the team is a no show this year so why the big fitness push.
The thing I found interesting on Well's comments is this is the first time he's actually worked over the off season. That was disappointing considering the contract we gave him. Vernon's burning desire to succeed at high levels has always been a question-hopefully this marks a change in attitude.
The thing about McGowan is not many guys come back or at least come back to the same level from this injury/surgury. I was pleased to see Cito's comments in "not rushing him." Realistically, I think he's next year if at all; we will find out how badly he wants it, because hard work is the key.
We will also soon find out about Janssen.
The Jays have a lot of talent in pitchen, The last thing they need is hasbeens in a write of year, so why not bring up the young guns and see what they have, they have nothing to lose.
There is no sandwich pick for Zaun, he didnt make Type B status. Burnett brings us a supplementary 1st round pick wich is around 37 or 38th overall (wich isnt that late alot of good players still arond at that time). Because the jays didnt recieve a first round pick for the Burnett they also get the Yankee's 3rd round pick 99th overall? or around there. so the Jays have a total of 5 picks in the top 100 this year. The first one is the Jays own pick of 20th overall. Could be another good year to add the the farm.
The Jays draft is as follows (some numbers could be a little off due to compensation picks – it gets confusing)
20th – 1st Round
39th – Supplimentary 1st Round (Compensation for Burnett)
66th – 2nd Round
96th – 3rd Round
101 – Yankees 3rd Round (Compensation for Burnett)
I hope the jays draft some high ceiling high schoolers instead of safe collage players. But with JP in charge I could easily be the 20th overall pick.

David Fincher recently flew to Stockholm to begin laying the groundwork for his upcoming adaptation of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," which begs the question, Why?
Having Fincher's version set in Sweden, as ScreenDaily reported (via The Playlist), just doesn't make sense. Is Steven Zaillian's script going to maintain the characters' Swedish-ness? If so, will they be speaking English? And if so, why? The alternative would be for the girl with the dragon tattoo and her fellow crimefighter to be Americans, which sounds even dumber.
As much as we enjoyed the original Swedish film, it had its shortcomings and Fincher seems like a good fit to reshape the narrative into a tighter, more cohesive film. But news of the film being set in Sweden is doing nothing to inspire confidence.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
On the casting front, Carey Mulligan's name had been bandied about for the title role, as she was kind of lobbying for the part, but Fincher is seeking an unknown for the role, and The Playlist has floated Brad Pitt's name as a possibility for the male lead. We'll see.

WAKEFIELD — Resident Jim Miller has been fighting arthritis since 1989, but it wasn't until 13 years ago he discovered a "miracle drug" that kept his pain at bay, and enabled him to enjoy hobbies such as playing guitar.
Despite the beneficial effects of the drug Remicade, Miller is concerned about the increasing cost of the medication, and the drastic difference in cost between two local hospitals.
Miller, 58, who has psoriatic arthritis, has a Remicade prescription from Dr. Bruce Samuels, of Seacoast Arthritis and Osteoporosis Center, which is owned by Wentworth-Douglass Hospital. The medication cannot be taken in pill form or as a quick shot; rather, the patient has to sit for about three hours, as the medicine slowly drips into the bloodstream by IV.
Miller has been getting infusions of 500 mg of Remicade every eight weeks for about 13 years, and while the procedure had cost about $6,000 in the beginning, when the procedure was done at his doctor's office, the cost for the same infusion last month came close to $25,000, when the procedure was done at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital.
Janssen Biotech, the biotech arm of Johnson and Johnson, charges hospitals about $811 per 100 mg vile of Remicade, according to Megan Farina, director of product communication at Janssen Global Services. Based on this wholesale acquisition cost, 500 mg of the medicine, the amount Miller takes every eight weeks, would cost a hospital about $4,055.
In contrast, on July 9, Wentworth-Douglas Hospital charged Miller's insurance company $24,286 for the infusion.
Miller has not always gone to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital for his Remicade infusions. In the early 2000s, when he began taking Remicade, the medicine was administered at Samuels' office. Samuels retired a few months ago. Back then, the charge for the drug was around $5,000 to $6,000.
After several years on Remicade, Miller was told he had to go to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital for his infusions, and that's when the cost of the drug began to gradually increase, he said. After a September 2008 appointment, the hospital charged his insurance company $15,741 for the visit, and after the May 2009 infusion, the charge increased to $17,327.
By September 2009, Miller, in response to the increased costs, had shopped around at other hospitals, and decided to get his infusions at Frisbie Memorial Hospital, which charged his insurance company around $10,000 for each visit.
Miller's last visit to Frisbie Memorial Hospital, in February, cost about $13,243. A day before his next scheduled appointment in April, Miller got a call from the hospital, informing him that Samuels no longer had privileges at Frisbie, and that Miller now had to go to Wentworth-Douglass for his infusions.
Upon returning to Wentworth-Douglass for treatment, his insurance company has been getting charged around $25,000 for the same infusion of 500 mg of Remicade.
Miller is not the only patient in the area who has questioned amounts hospitals charge for medicine. In April, Foster's published an article about Rochester physician Dr. Terry Bennett, who, after being diagnosed with cancer, began using the promising drug Kadcyla, recently approved for public use by the FDA. After his first IV of the medication, Wentworth-Douglas Hospital charged him almost $44,000 for the infusion.
The amounts hospitals charge for medications is not only a local issue, but of nationwide concern. In May, "The New York Times" published an article about new U.S. government data showing hospitals charge Medicare "wildly different amounts" for the same procedure, according to the article published on May 8. The charges vary widely not only nationwide, but also among hospitals located in the same region.
As an example, "The New York Times" stated that one hospital in St. Augustine, Fla., typically charged almost $40,000 for gallbladder removal, while a hospital in Orange Park, Fla., charged $91,000 for the same procedure.
Miller said in addition to seeing high charges for his medication, he felt his choice had been lost when he could no longer go to Frisbie for his infusions. Michelle Landry, director of marketing and communications for Frisbie, said Seacoast Arthritis never extended its privileges at the hospital, and therefore Miller could not get his infusions there. She said the hospital had sent the center an application to extend its privileges, and Seacoast Arthritis never replied.
Landry said having privileges as a doctor at a hospital means being able to give direction to hospital clinicians for certain treatments, such as infusions.
Luckily, Miller does not have to pay for the medicine out of pocket. The charge is covered by insurance company, Safeco, as part of a workers' compensation claim. But, Miller is concerned such high costs will have a detrimental effect on everyone. Higher costs for treatment, he said, means higher premiums for those with health insurance, and higher medical costs for those with no health insurance.
Steve Ahnen, president of New Hampshire Hospital Association, said many times the amount hospitals charge insurance companies does not reflect the actual amount the insurance companies end up paying. He said typically, after the insurance company is billed, its representatives negotiate on the final price with the hospital.
Ahnen also said the amount hospitals charge depends on a "whole variety of factors." In addition to the actual cost of care and the amount the hospital is charged for a particular drug, hospitals look at how many patients are on programs that reimburse less than the cost of care. He said on average, Medicare reimburses 80 cents on the dollar of the actual cost of care, and Medicaid reimburses 50 cents on the dollar. Because those programs do not pay the whole amount of the cost of care, hospitals find other areas to "offset those losses."
According to Noreen Biehl, vice president of community relations at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, "our charges increase as our costs increase to provide programs and services for our community including bad debt, charity care, the dental center, medication assistance, the Care-van and for the shortfall for Medicaid and Medicare (that do not cover the cost of care)," she wrote in an email in response to a query by Foster's about the reasons for the higher price of the Remicaid treatment at WDH.
Biehl said Wentworth-Douglass Hospital is a charitable organization, which treats patients regardless of their ability to pay. The mark-up in the treatment costs, she wrote, covers instances such as patients not being able to pay, or choosing not to pay their bills, or times in which insurance programs do not cover the full cost of care.
The mark-up of costs, she said, "is important if we are to remain financially and operationally sound and serve the community with high quality medical service."
"To do this, Wentworth-Douglass Hospital develops a standardized charge structure and applies it across all services," wrote Biehl in the email. "Our fees for services are competitive with other health care institutions and generally fall in the midrange of other hospitals in New Hampshire."
Biehl also said patients without insurance are eligible for a 30 percent discount on their bills, and if they pay within 30 days, they are eligible for an additional 30 percent discount.

Legally drunk after 1 drink?
The National Transportation Safety Board says states should lower the threshold for drunken driving.
NTSB officials said it should be cut from .08 blood alcohol level to .05, matching a standard that has substantially reduced highway deaths in other countries.
The board said alcohol concentration levels as low as .01 have been associated with driving-related performance impairment.
Experts said a woman weighing less than 120 pounds could reach a blood alcohol level of .05 after just one drink.
"When you look at it, each year in the United States, we lose around 40,000 people on the interstates and highways due to car collisions. They're estimating if they drop the alcohol limit to point zero five, that we're going to save approximately 7,000 lives per year," said Sgt. Scott Bright, Iowa State Patrol.
Katy Hill is Emergency Medical Services coordinator and flight nurse for UnityPoint Health Des Moines. She said a blood alcohol content of .05 can impact driving skills.
"It doesn't seem like a lot, but what you do need to realize is that any amount of alcohol in your blood system will affect you physiologically," said Hill. "All of those things are slowed and delayed when you have alcohol in your system. So it's better off to make that commitment and don't drink and drive."
Lowering the threshold, however, won't necessarily change the way police officers, sheriff's deputies, and state troopers enforce laws.
"When the BAC limit was .10, we never had a problem finding drunk drivers. Got lowered to point zero eight, no problem finding drunk drivers. Go a little lower, we won't have problems finding drunk drivers," said Sgt. Jason Halifax with Des Moines police.
The NTSB can't change laws. It can only recommend states implement their findings.
The American Beverage Institute is blasting the federal proposal in a news release.
"This recommendation is ludicrous. Moving from .08 to .05 would criminalize perfectly legal behavior."
The NTSB is also suggesting penalties for first and repeat drunken driving offenders be increased.

Furniture designer Indra creates passionate furniture. Once you see her furniture, you will want to come back to it like coming home, to a place where love and peace reign. The theme of love and peace is chosen because it symbolises a rejection of greyness, apathy and mass production. Life is too short to spend the time being bored! This furniture is close to being art work: the elegant fantasy of Dalí, the depths of colours of Matisse, the rationality of Picasso.
Only the chairs are mass-produced. All other items are singular hand-made works of creativity. The designer of this furniture loves the creative process and she calls the creation of each piece of furniture a meditation.
This is furniture for making body and soul feel better: it perfectly massages the body, gives pleasure to the eyes and joy to the soul. It is furniture for people who love life and are not afraid to enjoy it.

Speech by FRA Director Morten Kjaerum at the 3rd European Roma Summit, Brussels, 4 April 2014.
Commissioners, Ministers,
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm very pleased to be here and what a nice bridge we have made with the last speakers. Fundamental Rights is of the essence. I think that the package we have now creates a sound basis for the future - the detailed and comprehensive set of Commissions recommendations, the Council Recommendations adopted last December and of course the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. They all give us a powerful basis for moving forward. And we have the funding. So the road is paved; let us go down that road.
But there is one particular issue that is still missing that I would like to focus on.
It is how to ensure the resources reach the communities that need them most, how the resources are used and how communities can be involved in projects to make the best use of them.
Of course, it is vital that local authorities in municipalities make the decisions in support of Roma integration with EU funding. But it is even more important for the funds to reach the communities in which the people are dealing with deprivation, exclusion and discrimination on a very daily basis. And all too frequently, this is not happening.
What is it we are dealing with here? It is like a 'glass floor'. We all know the term of the 'glass ceiling' when women can't move on career matters. I think we have here a similar feature - a 'glass floor' which refers to resources that cease moving down to reach those in most dire need of those resources. Unless we break through this glass floor, I'm afarid the situation of the Roma won't improve as much as it could.
Of course, I know this will not be easy. All of us have heard the phrase "nothing should be done for Roma without Roma." But despite this, Roma inclusion at local level often remains very minimal, if it exists at all.
We also regularly hear the phrase "the communities do not have the capacity to implement funds." And indeed, this is very often the case. So let's develop that capacity and create it: not through endless training sessions or seminars, but through the direct involvement of the Roma population to achieve real change on the ground.
What is the evidence for this? What I really like about the mandate of the FRA is that we have to look for what we call now "good practices" or "promising practices". So what are those promising practices? When I go through our reports and the promising practices we have identified, I ask myself what is the common denominator of these promising practices? Not surprisingly, the projects that were successful were those where the Roma has been involved from the very beginning - and also when the majority population was involved as well. So local engagement is key and it comes out of in the interviews we have done with 300 municipalities.
I think there are some very low-hanging fruit out there that are waiting to be picked. It doesn't cost much.
The Fundamental Rights Agency will contribute to this with a new project that we call Local Engagement in Roma Inclusion. It tries to assist the Roma communities in improving their participation in designing, implementating and monitoring Roma integration policies at the very local level. Where programmes have already started, we will support the Roma communities to monitor the impact of these projects. Where they have already been planned but not yet started, we will assist local Roma to become more involved in their implementation. Not surprisingly, in the best case scenario, communities will become engaged at an early enough stage to contribute to the development of the concepts, the ideas and the goals.
Ladies and gentlemen,
We have to demolish the glass floor – and I'm quite certain we can! FRA regards the involvement of the Roma communities as a strategic challenge and a priority. We beleive we will only see results when the communities themselves participate in a meaningful way in deciding what is done with the funding being spent in their name.
Thank you.

Every second counts in the world of skimo racing, and a quick changeover between uphill and downhill sections can make all the difference. For regular ski tourers, it's always an impressive sight to see how the pros do it in just a few seconds. Here, ski mountaineering world champion Kilian Jornet reveals his top tips for an efficient transition. And check the video below to see him in action.
1. Think ahead
As I arrive at the transition, I start to mentally prepare for both the transition and the downhill stretch of the race that will follow. Do I have any more uphill sections, or will this be the final run down? This is important as it determines how I remove and store my skins.
2. Get ready
A few meters before I reach the top, I open my suit and remove my pole straps, ready to lay them down on the floor as I enter the transition area.
See how Kilian does it.
3. Change modes
After putting my poles on the floor, I switch the boots to ski mode with both hands, and then twist the binding into the downhill position.
4. Skins off
If there are more uphill sections to come, I take the top of the skin in one hand before kicking my foot forward and ripping the skin off in one fluid motion. I fold the skin in half, tuck it in my suit and repeat the process with the second skin. If it's the last downhill of the race I won't need to use the skins again so I rip the skins off in quick succession and store them together in my suit.
5. Setting off
Lastly I zip up my suit, pick up my poles, check my heels are locked in and get ready for the downhill descent.

Things aren't so "sweet" for a suburban Philadelphia man who faces charges in connection with a "Sweet 16" party at his home that allegedly left one juvenile in the hospital with alcohol poisoning.
Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman announced Wednesday that 59-year-old Arthur Blumenthal of Lafayette Hill, Pa. is charged with 43 counts of corruption of minors, one count of reckless endangerment and 61 counts of furnishing alcohol to minors.
Whitemarsh Township police officers responding to a report of an intoxicated person say they arrived at Blumenthal's home March 21 and found an underage boy lying on the lawn and vomiting. He was taken to Chestnut Hill Hospital and treated for an alcohol overdose.

For some, Apple looking to purchase Beats Electronics for $3.2 billion seems sad and desperate, like a middle-aged man buying a red Ferrari to stave off growing old.
But is the buy only about looking cool or staying relevant?
In a way, yes -- but in another, it's that Apple has overlooked the importance of its accessories line. One of the main reason Beats Electronics existed was that Apple wasn't creating adequate headphones. Like any good virus, Beats found the niche it could use to infiltrate Apple's users, and it did. Its attached music streaming service can only help Apple''s street cred.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Apple has no shortage of cash: about $151 billion is still left in its dragon's hoard, according to the New York Times, but the $3.2 billion price tag is the biggest ticket item for Apple ever. The Times article suggests that Apple's billions is also to acqui-hire music executive Jimmy Iovine who at one time worked with Apple's late founder and chief Steve Jobs.
But the fear is that Apple has lost that innovation it had with its visionary leader Jobs and the only way it can get it now is by buying it. For most companies, this is quite common -- didn't Facebook just buy Whatsapp for $19 billion? -- but Apple isn't the usual tech company.
Apple wants you to "Think Different", remember? Its design and innovation is what drives users to buy its products, so when it can no longer create those innovations or anticipate its users' needs, perhaps its time for Apple to rethink its mission.
