An Introduction...
My name is Rob Torok and I am pleased to have been invited to join the The NXT STEP as a contributor.
I'm certainly neither a LEGO nor a robotics guru, but I have been having fun with LEGO all my life. As a teacher, I have been using the RCX to teach robotics for some years now and am looking forward to seeing what my students are able to do with the NXT over the coming years...
As Jim pointed out a week or so ago, my MDP Profile was recently posted, so you can read a bit more about me and a couple of my robots there if you're interested.
Most recently I've been working on a couple of RobotC programs. I'll share these when I've had a chance to make them a bit more 'presentable'.
9 comments:
my name is KM and i'm a teacher in Singapore. i've just been assigned to teach robotics in school using the Lego Mindstorms RCX.
it's has been most frustrating because i'm not understanding anything about programming nor do i know a thing about robotics.
i've done Pilot1 and Pilot2 and that's as far as i know. Pilot3 and the Inventor1-4 are so difficult for me to understand.
are there any websites i can refer to for help? i need to teach, so the brief intro at Lego website is just not enough to arouse the students' interest. i need to know how to program the brick.
please help.
my email is firstname.lastname@example.com should you wish to share your knowledge.

Did the RoboLab CD come with a "Using RoboLab" CD?

It sure does. But the "Using ROBOLAB" document is more a reference manual than a teaching guide.
A good source for educators teaching robotics will be Tufts University Engineering Educational Outreach site at:

This may be a strange request but I want my PC to get really hot to spit out hot air....
Reason? At my job I currently have a spare PC which currently I don't use for anything and the guy in front of my workplace leaves a door open and FREEZING air comes in and my feet are frozen. I almost cant feel my feet....Ive told him once, twice, etc times to close the door but nothing so....Currently (right now) this is my alternative: make the PC spit out hot air so it can warm somewhat my feet!
So how do we get this PC hot?
Posted 20 November 2012 - 08:41
A program that simplifies the usage of Intel® Linpack. Linpack by
Intel® is an extremely stressful program that will put even the most pow-
-erful X86/X64 CPU in the world at its knees. Load temp under Linpack will
be up to 22*C higher than the competing software Prime95. This program will
make usage of Linpack easier and more practical.
Keep in mind, use this program at your own risk. By using this program, you
agree that neither I nor Intel shall be responsible for including, but not
limited to: burned up CPU, fried motherboard, spontaneous room temperature
increase, hair loss, or mental stress.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 09:23
No, it isn't.
A recommendation to close the door yourself and bring an electric heater, is still on topic.
This sounds pretty stressful. I don't want to make the PC explode either

I know they are not heaters but we have always once in our life used something for not its intended purpose
Computers are not heaters. If you're going to put a machine in a position where it's getting hot enough to keep you warm, it's probably both dangerous and inefficient compared to getting a heater. And if you don't want to risk breaking the computer then you definitely need to stop thinking about this idea.

This Cognac reveals exceptional tasting qualities but you do not need to be an expert to enjoy it.
Superb strength, length on the palate (you will keep its aromas more than ½ hour). Rich and subtle ...
Origin: 100 % Grande Champagne, Premier Cru de Cognac.
Aromas: the quintessence of the aromas of the Grande Champagne: a cornucopia of fine and powerful notes - coffee, cacao, spices (clove, cinnamon), delicate tinges of dried fruit... you will be in the realm of exceptional fragrances boosted by the 'fire' of the Grande Champagne.
Taste: If you are wise enough to taste it slowly leaving it time enough to unfold in the glass this Cognac will reward you with inimitable aromas of truffles, wood berries, and delicate accents of pepper and vanilla. Its complexity is beyond imagination, and its aftertaste staggering: for many minutes all these sublime fragrances will linger on your palate imparting the impression of a long trip into the heart and soul of a truly exceptional Cognac.
How to enjoy it: Indeed, this Cognac is not for busy people, something we tend to be. It will be revealed only if you leave it untouched for a quarter of an hour in your glass, before you taste it in small sips, giving it the time it needs to unfold the aromas it has developed during all the years it was waiting for you in its oak barrels.

Shit is one of the most functionally diverse words in the English language, and is also one of the most frequently used nouns. In its literal meaning, it is usually considered a vulgar word (swear word) in Modern English. As a noun it refers to fecal matter (excrement) and as a verb it means to defecate or defecate in; in the plural ("the shits") it means diarrhea. As a slang term, it can mean nonsense, foolishness or something of little value; trivial and usually boastful or inaccurate talk, or a contemptible person. To shit, in slang, is to talk nonsense to, or to attempt to deceive.
In the word's literal sense, it has a rather small range of common usages. An unspecified or collective occurrence of feces is generally shit or some shit; a single deposit of feces is sometimes a shit or a piece of shit, and to defecate is to shit, or to take a shit. While it is common to speak of shit as existing in a pile, a load, a hunk and other quantities and configurations, such expressions flourish most strongly in the figurative. For practical purposes, when actual defecation and excreta are spoken of in English, it is either through creative euphemism or with a vague and fairly rigid literalism.
"Shit" can also be combined with other words to denote the type of feces one has. For instance, "Snake shit" describes feces that are long and slender in shape, thus reminiscent of a snake's appearance. "Shapeepee" or "Shit pee pee" is another word for diarrhea, or can be used to describe feces that are almost entirely of liquid composition.
Shit carries an encompassing variety of figurative meanings, explained in the following sections.
In Get your shit together! the word shit may refer to some set of personal belongings or tools, or to one's wits, composure, or attention to the task at hand. He doesn't have his shit together suggests he is failing rather broadly, with the onus laid to multiple personal shortcomings, rather than bad luck or outside forces.
To shoot the shit is to have a friendly but pointless conversation, as in "Come by my place some time and we'll shoot the shit."
The word can also be used to represent anger, as in Jim is totally going to flip his shit when he sees that we wrecked his marriage.
When the shit hits the fan is usually used to refer to a specific time of confrontation or trouble, which requires decisive action. This is often used in reference to combat situations and the action scenes in movies, but can also be used for everyday instances that one might be apprehensive about. I don't want to be here when the shit hits the fan! indicates that the speaker is dreading this moment (which can be anything from an enemy attack to confronting an angry parent or friend). He's the one to turn to when the shit hits the fan is an indication that the person being talked about is dependable and will not run from trouble or abandon their allies in tough situations. The concept of this phrase is simple enough, as the actual substance striking the rotating blades of a fan would cause a messy and unpleasant situation (much like being in the presence of a manure spreader). Whether or not this has actually happened, or if the concept is simply feasible enough for most people to imagine the result without needing it to be demonstrated, is unknown. Another example might be the saying shit rolls down hill which is particularly illustrating, the consequences of putting your superiors in a bad position at work. There are a number of anecdotes and jokes about such situations, as the imagery of these situations is considered to be funny. This is generally tied-in with the concept that disgusting and messy substances spilled onto someone else are humorous.
The term piece of shit is generally used to classify a product or service as being sufficiently below the writer's understanding of generally accepted quality standards to be of negligible and perhaps even negative value.The term piece of shit has greater precision than shit or shitty in that piece of shit identifies the low quality of a specific component or output of a process without applying a derogatory slant to the entire process. For example, if one said "The inner city youth orchestra has been a remarkably successful initiative in that it has kept young people off the streets after school and exposed them to culture and discipline, thereby improving their self esteem and future prospects. The fact that the orchestra's recent rendition of Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony in B minor was pretty much a piece of shit should not in any way detract from this." The substitution of shit or shitty for pretty much a piece of shit would imply irony and would therefore undermine the strength of the statement.
In this form the word can also be used in phrases such as don't give me that shit or you're full of shit. The term full of shit is often used as an exclamation to charge someone who is believed to be prone to dishonesty, exaggeration or is thought to be "phoney" with an accusation. For example:
The word bullshit also denotes false or insincere discourse. (Horseshit is roughly equivalent, while chickenshit means cowardly, batshit indicates a person is crazy, and going apeshit indicates a person is entering a state of high excitement or unbridled rage.). Are you shitting me!? is a question sometimes given in response to an incredible assertion. An answer that reasserts the veracity of the claim is, I shit you not.
Like the word fuck, shit is often used to add emphasis more than to add meaning, for example, shit! I was so shit-scared of that shithead that I shit-talked him into dropping out of the karate match! The term to shit-talk connotes bragging or exaggeration (whereas to talk shit primarily means to gossip [about someone in a damaging way] or to talk in a boastful way about things which are erroneous in nature), but in such constructions as the above, the word shit often functions as an interjection.
Unlike the word fuck, shit is not used emphatically with -ing or as an infix. For example; I lost the shitting karate match would be replaced with ...the fucking karate match. Similarly, while in-fucking-credible is generally acceptable, in-shitting-credible is not.
In polite company, sometimes the backronym Sugar Honey in Tea or Sugar Honey Iced Tea is used.
"Shit" was one of the original "Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV", a comedy routine by the late American Comedian George Carlin. In the United States, although the use of the word is censored on broadcast network television (while its synonym crap is not usually subject to censorship), the FCC permitted some exceptions. The October 14, 1999 episode of Chicago Hope is believed to be the first show (excluding documentaries) on U.S. network television to contain the word shit in uncensored form. The word also is used in a later ER episode "On the Beach" by Dr. Mark Greene, experiencing the final stages of a deadly brain tumor. Although the episode was originally aired uncensored, the "shit" utterance has since been edited out in syndicated reruns. An episode of South Park, "It Hits the Fan," originally aired on June 20, 2001, was a parody of the hype over the Chicago Hope episode. "Shit" is used 162 times, and a counter in the corner of the screen tallies the repetitions. The moral of this episode is that swearing is okay occasionally, but if it is done over and over and over, it takes away from a word's impact and the word gets very, very boring. South Park airs on American cable networks, outside the regulatory jurisdiction of the FCC, where censorship of vulgar dialogue is at the discretion of the cable operators. .
American terrestrial radio stations must abide by FCC guidelines on obscenity to avoid punitive fines, unlike satellite radio. These guidelines do not define exactly what constitutes obscenity, but it has been interpreted by some commissioners as including any form of words like shit and fuck, for whatever use.
Despite this, the word has been featured in popular songs that have appeared on broadcast radio in cases where the usage of the word is not audibly clear to the casual listener, or on live television. In the song "Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains, the line "Buried in my shit" was played unedited over most rock radio stations. The 1980 hit album Hi Infidelity by REO Speedwagon contained the song "Tough Guys" which had the line "she thinks they're full of shit," which was played on broadcast radio. On December 3, 1994, Green Day performed "Geek Stink Breath," on Saturday Night Live, shit was not edited from tape delay live broadcast. The band did not appear on the show again until April 9, 2005.
Some notable instances of censorship of the word from broadcast television and radio include Steve Miller's "Jet Airliner." Although radio stations have sometimes played an unedited version containing the line "funky shit going down in the city." The songs was also released with a "radio edit" version, replacing the "funky shit" with "funky kicks". Another version of "Jet Airliner" exists in which the word "shit" is faded out. Likewise, the Bob Dylan song "Hurricane" has a line about having no idea "what kind of shit was about to go down," and has a radio edit version without the word. Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" video had the original album's use of the word censored in its video. The music video title "...On the Radio (Remember the Days)" by Nelly Furtado replaced by the original title "Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)." This also happened to "That's That Shit" by Snoop Dogg featuring R. Kelly, which became "That's That." In Avril Lavigne's song "My Happy Ending," the Radio Disney edit of the song replaces "all the shit that you do" with "all the stuff that you do." Likewise, in the recent song "London Bridge" by the Black Eyed Peas member Fergie, the phrase "Oh Shit" is repeatedly used as a background line. A radio edit of this song replaced "Oh Shit" with "Oh Snap."

A work by William Forsythe and The Forsythe Company with music by Thom Willems
The rhythmical inflections of Elizabethan theater, like those of classical dance, have been sustained by a tradition of transmission from performer to performer for over 400 years. In »Sider«, these intricate patterns of speech are communicated to the performers via the soundtrack of a filmed version of a late 16th century tragedy. The adherence of the performers actions to this vocal score instigates disquieting configurations of incongruous musicality that underscore the dramas themes of analogy and obscuration.

The Two Americas Will Be the Defining Trend of 2014
This morning, one of my editors suggested that I might comment on what I thought the big issues of the coming year are going to be. When it comes to the things that will dominate political discussion, most of it we can't predict. There could be unforeseen crises, natural disasters, war breaking out somewhere, or the emergence of previously unknown yet charismatic political figures. A baby might fall down a well, or a little boy could pretend to float up in a balloon, or a young singer might stick out her tongue and move her hips in a sexually suggestive manner, precipitating a national freakout.
One trend I do think will shape people's lives this year and in years to come is the increasing divergence between the places where lots of Democrats live and the places where lots of Republicans live. Yes, it sounds trite and overdone to talk about Two Americas, but it is true, and it's becoming more true all the time. And one question I'm curious about is whether we'll see an increase in people picking up and moving to places where public policy either accords better with their values or offers them important benefits they need to live their lives (or both).
The new year always sees a whole raft of state laws taking effect, but the ideological implications of some of them this year are particularly stark. And liberal states are showing some of the aggressiveness we've come to associate with conservative states. The minimum wage is going up in places like Connecticut and California. Same-sex marriage is now legal in 18 states plus D.C. In Colorado you can walk down to a store on the corner and buy cannabis, and you'll be able to do the same in Washington in a few months. There are new restrictions on guns in blue states, and new laws making guns more ubiquitous in red states. There are also new laws in conservative states aimed at making abortions all but impossible for women to get, and making it as hard as possible for certain kinds of people to vote. And in one of the most critical changes, as of yesterday millions of Americans are getting health coverage through Medicaid—if they live in the right place. Approximately 5 million Americans are missing out because of the refusal of Republican states to allow the Medicaid expansion, in what Ed Kilgore has evocatively termed the "wingnut hole."
Obviously, the underlying divisions that drive this policy divergence are as old as the nation itself. But there are more reasons than ever for people to get up and move to the states where the political leadership is working to make it the kind of place where people like them would want to live. The more we talk about it, the more conscious people become of it, and the closer a conservative in Maryland or a liberal in Mississippi gets to saying, "That's it—I'm finally getting the hell out of here."
There are limits to how far this can go. Even though getting up and moving to a new state is a common part of many people's lives at one time or another, and we tend to associate it with something fundamental in the American spirit—taking a risk, striking out for new horizons, the wind in your hair as you hurtle down the highway toward a brighter future—there are a lot of forces that keep people in place, too. Even if your state's public policy makes your life more difficult, if you grew up there chances are you've got family, friends, and the general familiarity with your surroundings that makes leaving it all behind very daunting. But if the number of people moving not just for a new job but for ideological reasons increases, then that will feed a cycle in which more states become even more ideologically homogenized, which leads to public policy even more ideologically one-sided.
Since I'm a liberal, I believe that the liberal states will become models of freedom, justice, and prosperity, while the conservative states will become hellholes of exploitation and cruelty. Conservatives will naturally see things differently. But watch what's on the ballot in states in 2014, and what state laws get passed in the coming months. State-by-state divergence is my guess for the key political/social trend of the coming year.

No, the actual "Great Divide" is by class, middle class against the poor. The Clinton Democrats have done more than the Republicans could dream of achieving to deepen this great divide. THIS is what we need to address, and media won't do it. H. Clinton has long advocated for NAFTA, probably the greatest cause of working class job loss in the US. B. Clinton wiped out the Great Society branch of the New Deal, and still had time to begin dismantling Social Security, targeting the disabled. Much of the media marketed to libs has been furiously promoting H. Clinton instead of our vice-president -- in spite of her long, solid record of support for the rt. wing agenda. Several Dems in Congress, who slap on a "progressive" sticker for interviews on MSNBC, continue to support the agenda that has been wiping out the middle class. Tragically, we looked at the policies/programs in place from FDR to Reagan, which took the US to its height of wealth AND productivity, and chose to reverse course. We need to reconsider, end the Reagan/Clinton agenda that has deepened our economic crisis, and start rebuilding the middle class. (Note: You can't rebuild the middle class out of thin air. We have to shore up the poor, putting the rungs back on the ladder out of poverty.)

We have 3 parties. The centrist corporate/Wall Street party to which Obama/Clinton belong and many Republicans. The Tea Party rural rubes like Duck Dynasty who are well funded thanks to their friends on the Supreme Court. The Progressives who are sold-out due to their being part of the Democratic cabal represented by Obama. People are not represented anywhere. We need the internet to help us join together to protect ourselves knowing we have no representation in the government and probably not with life-supporting control over our local areas thanks to NAFTA levels of sell-outs of the American people.
Mon, 2014-01-20 20:51
...I agree with your analyzes , therefore we "the un represented people 98%" need to gather & be represented by a party, a political party -although I don't like the word political-, but we have no choice. How do we go about this? the Congress needs to be entirely re elected, & replaced by a 2 yrs appointment position. This would be a first step, but how do we get this done? perhaps you can enlighten the rest of us.
Mon, 2014-02-03 19:54
Who broight NAFTA to us? George H.W. Bush and the Republican-controlled House and Senate of the 90s. Before one starts spouting Tea Party revisionist history, look at what really happened. No Republican is EVER too brave enough to want to be accountable for his own sins, but is always 1000 percent ready to tell complete falsehoods to make themselves look good. This is why we have such a divide. I am a liberal. I am NOT the enemy. What the enemy is is the repeated falsehoods of the Republican party, and its total willingness to ignore history and rewrite it to suit themselves.
Tue, 2014-01-07 15:47
If you look at the most recent polling by YouGov and CNN, you will see that there are indeed two Americas: whites and nonwhites. Whites approve of Obama by 30/70, while nonwhites approve by 70/30. This is true in all regions and age-groups and in both sexes. Whites are leaving the Democratic party, at least temporarily. Politics today is not about red vs. blue, it is about white vs. nonwhite. The veracity of this assertion will be tested in November.

The author notes, "The minimum wage is going up in places like Connecticut and California. Same-sex marriage is now legal in 18 states plus D.C." A shout-out to my hometown and residence for the last 29 years for making progress on BOTH fronts: We have just prevailed upon our legislature--the D.C. Council--to raise the minimum wage to $11.50 by July 2016, with COLA thereafter. But even in this so-called Democratic stronghold, it took a massive effort, and we fell short of our goal of extending the living wage.

Liberal or Conservative, Republican or Democrat; the better model, one only needs to compare Minnesota and Wisconsin. Wisconsin Gov. Walker, the Tea Party darling with the Fitzgerald Republican controlled legislature compared to Minnesota's Gov. Mark Dayton working with a Democratic controlled legislature. One needs to look no further than these two states to see which model is better.
Mon, 2014-02-10 15:23
Sure hope the article is right. What a wonderful idea! Two societies, loosely united by history and a desire to remain defended against external aggression and internal violence. Those who believe in community and equality can enjoy it. As could those who believe in freedom and progress.
It will be a great experiment in mind vs. matter! Or more accurately, of genetic biases in which set of the common values are considered important, and the results of the thoughts and the actions which flow from those two sets of genes. Clearly there will be differences in outcomes.
Will opinions on which are better correlate with reality, or with the original biases? We'll find out - either most of us will migrate to only one of the two Americas, or we will not.

The 10 fastest-growing states in the United States:
1. North Dakota
2. Texas
3. Utah
5. Florida
6. South Dakota
7. Washington
8. Arizona
9. Alaska
10. Wyoming
7 are "red states", 2 are "purple states", and 1 is a "blue state".
The 10 slowest-growing -and in some cases, declining- states in the United States:
10. Connecticut
9. Pennsylvania
8. New Hampshire
7. Illinois
6. Ohio
5. Vermont
4. Michigan
3. West Virginia
2. Maine
1. Rhode Island
7 are "blue states", 2 are "purple states", and 1 is a "red state".
This begs the question of why people are leaving states that are "models of freedom, justice, and prosperity", for states that are "hellholes of exploitation and cruelty". Perhaps in order for the blue state model to work correctly, we need to stop allowing citizens the freedom to pack up and move.

7/18/14 Jason Biggs Makes Bad Joke
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, July 18, 2017
JASON BIGGS loves trolling people on Twitter. Not long after the Malaysian Airlines plane was shot down while flying over the Ukraine yesterday, Jason fired off this Tweet: Quote, "Anyone wanna buy my Malaysian Airlines frequent flyer miles?" Some people didn't like him making light of the crash, but Jason says he was just making a "joke," and people should relax.
PAMELA ANDERSON and RICK SALOMON didn't seem like a couple that's divorcing when they were caught kissing in Malibu on Wednesday.
The "National Enquirer" claims MATT LAUER was stepping out on his wife when he was spotted on a boat earlier this month with a "mystery blonde." Matt and his guest supposedly started "acting suspicious" when they noticed the paparazzi.
LEBRON JAMES has topped an annual survey of America's Favorite Sports Stars by Harris Interactive for the first time EVER. MICHAEL JORDAN was #1 in last year's poll, but he's the runner-up this year. For the ladies, SERENA WILLIAMS is #1, followed by DANICA PATRICK.
Lindsay Lohan took home a trophy at a film festival in Italy. Lindsay was honored with the Biggest Comeback Award at the Ischia Global Film & Music Fest. Her last film was "The Canyons", which grossed $56K.
7/17/14 Drunk Charlie Sheen Video
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, July 17, 2014
There's footage of CHARLIE SHEEN showing up drunk at a Taco Bell drive-thru last week, walking up to a couple's car, and talking to them through their window. And just in case there was any confusion about whether or not he was drunk, he cleared that up by telling them, quote, "Sorry I'm so [blankity] HAMMERED." His rep noted that he was NOT driving though.
According to "Time" magazine, Leonardo Dicaprio tweets at a higher reading level than any other celebrity. But his average tweet is still at less than an eighth-grade reading level. He's followed by Justin Bieber's mom, Jimmy Kimmel, Ludacris, and the guys from Green Day. And somehow, JWoww from "Jersey Shore" made the Top 10.
"Us" magazine thinks SEAN PENN and CHARLIZE THERON have a busy summer planned. Supposedly, they're going to get married in South Africa where they're shooting a movie . . . oh, and they're also going to adopt a baby, quote, "shortly after saying their vows."
"Forbes" says GISELE BUNDCHEN raked in $47 million over the past year, which breaks down to more than $128,000 per day. Overall, she's made roughly $386 million in her career.
Allegedly, the domestic drama between Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, stems from Ellen's flirtation with a woman they both know. According to an 'insider', Ellen "had an affair with one of their mutual friends right before Portia's rehab stint in May." The situation made Portia's alleged substance abuse issues worse and "led to some of their ugliest blowups." Portia initially sought professional help in the spring for her drinking and pill-popping problem. Now she is doing her best to stay sober while dealing with fears over the state of her relationship with Ellen.
7/16/14 Sandra Bullock's Scare
Find me on FacebooK: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, July 16, 2014
CAMERON DIAZ admitted earlier this year that she'd once been with another woman. And now she's strongly denying that it was DREW BARRYMORE. She says, "That makes me want to vomit in my mouth . . . That's like saying I'm having sex with my sister. Are you crazy? I wouldn't even ménage with her!"
It's still pretty common for REGULAR women to take their husband's last name when they get married . . . but it isn't often that a celebrity does it. JESSICA SIMPSON might be an exception. She posted a photo of herself on Instagram . . . wearing a one-piece bathing suit while lounging in a pool chair. She captioned it "Jessica Johnson."
We'd heard SANDRA BULLOCK was able to barricade herself in her bedroom when some nut broke into her home last month. But now, there's word that she was only able to do that AFTER bumping into him face-to-face. The stalker was arrested just outside her bedroom door. Bullock heard a loud banging around 1am, walked to her bedroom door, and saw the man in the hallway wearing dark clothes. She slammed and locked her door and called 911, telling police she had showered before going to bed and the man may have been there the entire time. He was allegedly carrying a notebook with notes and pictures of Bullock he'd cut out of magazines.
Kim Kardashian is reportedly a changed person since marrying Kanye West. Sources say Kim has morphed into a completely different person since hooking up with Kanye, and those around her are concerned. They say he controls her every move and she's been sad since marrying him.
7/15/14 Lindsay Lohan Moving?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, July 15, 2014
The Octomom, NADYA SULEMAN, pleaded no contest to one count of misdemeanor welfare fraud yesterday in Los Angeles. A judge gave her 200 hours of community service, two years probation, and a small fine. Which isn't bad considering she was originally facing four FELONY counts, and more than SIX YEARS in jail.
LINDSAY LOHAN makes her stage debut in London this October, and says she's now thinking of MOVING there. It's partly because she thinks she has a better chance of being seen as a legitimate actress over there . . . and partly because she thinks British people don't care about celebrity gossip as much as we do.
KATE MIDDLETON'S "longtime friend," Jessica Hay, told the tabloids that Kate's pregnant again. She says, quote, "I've heard it from several different friends of theirs now and they're saying that they think there's going to be an official announcement in weeks."
Rumor has it that Portia de Rossi secretly filmed her drunken fights with wife Ellen DeGeneres. Sources say Portia secretly taped some of their arguments when she was drunk-- and she threatened to expose Ellen as controlling and manipulating. Allegedly, Ellen was furious and broke into Portia's cellphone and read her emails to make sure she didn't send the videos to anyone.

JWOWW from "Jersey Shore" gave birth to a daughter yesterday. It's the first child for her and her fiancé, Roger Matthews. In a statement, they said, quote, "[We] are so excited to welcome the newest guidette, Meilani Alexandra Mathews, to the world weighing seven pounds and 13 ounces . . . Meilani is already looking to trade her baby bottle for barbells."
TRACY MORGAN checked out of a rehab facility over the weekend. He's recovering from a car crash last month that killed one person and injured four. Tracy also just filed a lawsuit against Walmart, because it was one of their trucks that crashed into the back of his limo, and the driver allegedly hadn't slept for over 24 hours.
SUSAN SARANDON says the reason she still looks so good at age 67 is that she never smoked CIGARETTES. She's totally cool with smoking POT though. Quote, "I'm down with cannabis, but tobacco is the worst for the skin. Apart from that, just practice moderation, because too much of anything takes its toll. Not too much sun, not too much alcohol, not too much food."
According to a British tabloid, DANIEL RADCLIFFE from "Harry Potter" is heading to rehab . . . so he can quit smoking CIGARETTES. The "Daily Star" says he smokes about a pack a day, and recently tried hypnotherapy and e-cigarettes. But neither of them worked, so he's desperate.

Eibach Alignment Kits - Camber Kits
After the installation of either an Eibach Pro-Kit, Sportline spring kit or Pro-Street coil-over kit, a vehicle's alignment should always be checked. Once a vehicle is lowered, wheel camber may become excessively negative, meaning the top of the tire is angled inward (toward the center of the vehicle). While some negative camber aids in improving traction and road adhesion, too much can result in compromised handling and accelerated tire wear.
Eibach offers a complete range of Pro-Alignment kits, which provide a simple, affordable solution to correct excessive negative camber. These alignment kits not only assist in adjusting a vehicle's camber back to factory specifications, but they also allow an experienced chassis tuner to utilize the increased adjustment range to "dial-in" a performance oriented alignment that uses negative camber to maximize a chassis' true potential. With correct alignment, turn-in
For the extreme lowering of Sportline and Pro-Street applications, look for the alignment kits with a greater range of alignment necessary to accommodate the extreme lowering. These will be listed below the standard Pro-Alignment kit in the applications section.

Portman: 'We've got the momentum' in Ohio
Just two days out from Election Day, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman said Sunday he's confident about Mitt Romney's chances of taking his home state on Tuesday.
The Romney surrogate told Candy Crowley on CNN's "State of the Union" that the October jobs numbers released on Friday were "really disappointing," adding, "things aren't going well here [in Ohio]."
"It's going to be a very close race," the Republican senator said, but "we've got the momentum on our side."
Asked whether he believes a candidate could take the White House without winning Ohio, Portman responded, "Probably, but I wouldn't want to risk it. No Republican ever has."

Why pork?
"Well, 'cause it goes great with beer," said Ty Kotz, executive chef at the Topping Rose House, which will host its first Pork and Craft Beer Festival Saturday afternoon.
With the rapid growth of craft breweries on Long Island, East End chefs now have the opportunity to expand local menus beyond homegrown produce and meat to also include the homebrewed.
After spending an afternoon enjoying beers at a few of the local breweries, Chef de Cuisine Kyle Koenig and his wife, Jessica, the restaurant's beverage director, came up with the idea for the festival, which will feature myriad innovative pork dishes and craft beers from eight breweries.
"We decided, let's partner with Niman Ranch, where we get a majority of our pork from, and let's try to get very local brewers together and do a few of our favorite things—to barbecue and have some really great beer," Mr. Koenig said Monday.
Niman Ranch and New York City-based DeBragga, which supply meat to Topping Rose, quickly signed on as sponsors, as did The Independent, Southampton Publick House, Great South Bay Brewery, Greenport Harbor Brewing Company, Moustache Brewing Company, Long Ireland, Crooked Ladder, Port Jeff Brewing Company and Montauk Brewing Company. A representative of the Montauk Shellfish Company will also be on hand shucking fresh Montauk pearl oysters.
"It's kind of like any chef's hobby to do tons of stuff with pork," Mr. Kotz said. "And we kind of just started going nuts, so we're going to have this huge spread."
The chefs are preparing five different types of sausages grilled on a live station, tables of charcuterie, house made terrine, various vegetable sides, house made sauerkraut, sliders, chicharrones, and bacon, to name a few dishes—and the menu is still being expanded.
"We're still throwing stuff on the bandwagon, our flyer is just a smidgeon of what's actually going to be produced," Mr. Kotz said.
Two machines will spin hand-carved pork shawarma, layered meat similar to Greek gyros and Turkish kebabs that spin on a stick vertically. A pork belly will be marinated Indian-style, then sliced to order, put in a pita and served with fresh vegetables. The other spit-grilled meat will be a Mexican-style pork shoulder al pastor.
Guests can also enjoy several porchettas, dishes in which the chefs take the whole loin of the pig, wrap the belly around the loin and cook it as a single piece, resulting in a savory, fatty and moist roast.
"It's boneless, but because it's essentially the loin wrapped in bacon cooking, it's very tender and juicy and you get this incredible, incredible flavor," Mr. Kotz said.
One table will feature charcuterie slicing with prosciutto Americana from La Quercia, an Iowa company that uses all heritage breeds of pigs to make rare American-made prosciutto.
"It's just extraordinary," Mr. Kotz said, "because they don't salt it as much, so you can actually taste more of the pork."
Pastry Chef Cassandra Shupp is "doing all kinds of stuff" for the festival, Mr. Kotz said, including making "everything" potato rolls and pretzels that are the chef's take on everything bagels.
"Everything sticks to what we do here," Mr. Kotz said, "and that's local and farms."
All the meat at the festival is naturally raised and antibiotic free with no hormones.
"So, not only is it just a bunch of pig, it's pig you want to put into your body," he continued. "It's what we believe in and what [Topping Rose Chef Tom Colicchio] believes in. It's really pushing for better food in our food system in America." Knowing the benefits of better nutrition, the restaurant tries to "really practice what we're preaching" he added.
Expanding that practice from the plate to the pint glass was an obvious and easy choice, as the local breweries were eager to join in on the festival.
"They were all like, 'absolutely,'" Mr. Kotz said, "We didn't have to twist their arm to be a part of this. This is an excuse to get a lot of people together with a lot of great food."
Incorporated in 2010 and opened just two years ago, the Montauk Brewing Company has grown rapidly, with its beer now available on draft in about 200 locations from Montauk to the Queens border of Long Island.
Montauk Brewing is bring its flagship beer, Driftwood Ale, and the newly released Guardsman Stout to Saturday's festival.
"The style is an extra special bitter, and relies on its balance between malt and hops for its drinkability," Montauk's Vaughan Cutillo, co-founder and brewer at MBC, said of the Driftwood Ale.
"Driftwood Ale turned out to be a beer that paired well with our local foodshed—from beef to fish to local greens and, most importantly, pork—the beer just worked and we couldn't be happier," he added.
Released this winter, the Guardsman Stout is a smooth, bold beer that's dark in color with a "roasty" finish.
"Our beer recipes to date have accompanied a variety of dishes from our local community, and we would like to continue this tradition," Mr. Cutillo added. "Doing too much with a beer can sometimes destroy the intentions of the chef. Instead, our beer truly pairs with the meal. The beer and the meal are enjoyed and their nuances complement one another."
The Pork and Craft Beer Festival is Saturday, May 3, at the Topping Rose House, 1 Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike in Bridgehampton. VIP admission is $125 and grants access to an exclusive hour with the brewers and chefs at 12 p.m. For $100, general admission grants access to the festival, which runs from 1 to 4 p.m. For more information or to reserve a space, email email@example.com.

Im sure many of us will agree that the WWE's lackluster performance (with a few bright spots) is partially due to the lack of competition in the wrestling industry. TNA is the only company I can see, at this point, giving WWE the much needed kick in the rear. But before they can become wrestling royalty, they need recognize their strengths and weaknesses and deal with them.

Hampton, N.Y. man described as major Rutland drug dealerBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | March 08,2013When he was arrested at the Howe Center in Rutland a week ago, there was little to distinguish Justin Billings from the majority of people charged with dealing heroin in the area.
But documents filed in federal court this week to support detaining the 25-year-old resident of Hampton, N.Y., show the quantities of guns, drugs and money allegedly found during a raid at his home last summer were anything but typical.
When federal agents raided Billings home July 22, they say they found more than 6,000 bags of heroin, about $90,000 in cash and 10 firearms including a pistol strapped to the headboard of his bed.
Six thousand bags of heroin is a lot of heroin, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Nolan who is prosecuting the case against Billings and three men who allegedly distributed drugs for him in Vermont.
Billings was identified as a major drug supplier during the course of a high-profile and highly visible federal operation in Rutland code-named Fed Up.
That initiative, which included cooperation among multiple federal law enforcement agencies, Vermont State Police and Rutland City Police, led to the arrest of more than a dozen people as law enforcement focused on crimes involving guns and drugs in the city.
City Police Chief James Baker said Thursday that during the course of the operation, agents witnessed a drug sale and made an arrest that eventually led police to the source of the heroin supply Billings.
Thats the most significant case weve had to date since the federal agencies and city police began the operation, Baker said. In general terms, thats a significant amount of heroin off the street.
Billings was first arrested in July after he allegedly tried to sell 399 bags of heroin to an unnamed co-conspirator, according to federal court records.
Federal prosecutors say that Billings admitted to selling heroin since August 2011 and that between the spring and summer of 2012 he picked up about 10,000 bags of heroin from his supplier at least 10 times and maybe as many as 20 times.
Billings 2003 Ford Expedition was equipped with an electronically controlled hiding compartment, according to federal investigators.
Those bags were supplied by the hundreds each day to two other men who distributed the heroin, according to court records.
Two out of three of Billings co-conspirators named in court live in Rutland County and distributed the heroin allegedly supplied by Billings in Vermont.
The alleged conspirators living in Vermont are Jeffrey York, 42, of Castleton and Benjamin Whitney, 27, of Rutland.
Both men were arraigned and pleaded innocent last month to federal charges of conspiring to distribute heroin. York and Whitney are both free on court ordered conditions of release.
A third conspirator, 28-year-old Kenneth Alger who federal prosecutors said formerly lived in Whiting, was arrested recently in the Orlando, Fla., area on a charge of conspiracy to distribute heroin. He was released in Florida but is expected to appear for arraignment in Burlington on Monday.
Billings pleaded innocent Friday to charges of conspiracy to distribute heroin and possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug-related crime.
He was jailed following a detention hearing in federal court Wednesday.
Billings was originally released for investigatory reasons and told to stay in contact with investigators following his arrest in July.
Nolan said he couldnt comment on the reasons why Billings was released last summer.
While Billings did what investigators told him to do at first, according to court records, he ceased all contact with authorities in mid-December.
It wasnt until March 1 that federal investigators obtained information on his whereabouts an undisclosed residence in Rutland City.
Federal agents conducted surveillance on the home and approached him when he tried to leave last Friday morning.
Billings allegedly tried to flee on foot but was caught on the train tracks inside the Howe Center.

A Community of Exceptional Nurses
The Progressive Care Certified Nurse (PCCN) certification has been promoting continuing excellence in progressive care nursing since 2004. Our fasting growing credential, PCCN currently validates the knowledge and skills of nearly 10,000 nurses working in areas typically referred to as intermediate care units, direct observation units, stepdown units, telemetry units or transitional care units.
As one of those PCCN-certified nurses — Alice Manuel, RN, BSN, PCCN-CSC, RN-BC, a staff nurse in the CVIU, East Carolina Heart Institute at Vidant Medical Center, Greenville, N.C. — said about her certification:
"Due to advances in technology, pharmaceuticals and the aging population, patients in hospitals are sicker than ever before. Many years ago, patients who are now cared for in Intermediate Units used to be in Intensive Care settings. Today's acutely and critically ill patients require heightened vigilance and extraordinary and intricate care from a team of skilled expert nurses. Our patients and families truly deserve to receive excellent nursing care. These were the driving philosophies that led me to obtain my first certification — PCCN in 2009."
Below are links to the new PCCN certification test plan, sample questions and study references to help you on your journey to nursing excellence.
AACN Certification Corporation periodically conducts national surveys of practice to update and refresh certification exam test plans. This assures our exams are based on evidence and that the content of each exam is directly tied to relevant practice.
The most recent study of practice for PCCN® was conducted in 2012, resulting in minor changes to the PCCN Test Plan. This page will provide you with links to the new test plan that goes into effect for exams taken on and after June 26, 2013, sample questions and study references.
Test Plan – This detailed content outline shows the content and percentage weight that provides the structure of the exam. The test plan is based on the national study of practice, goes through a 100% consensus process involving a national panel of experts (Practice Analysis Task Force), is analyzed by our AMP psychometrician, and is ultimately approved by the AACN Certification Corporation Board of Directors.
Sample Questions – These sample exam questions with correct answers are designed to give you an idea of the style of exam items, to assist in your exam preparation. AACN Certification Corporation exams use mostly application- and analysis-level items; each has one (1) stem (question) and four (4) options (answers).
Study Bibliography – This is a list of the references (books/guidelines) the item writers used to validate the answers to the exam questions.

The Starkville Academy boys' basketball program has lost 13 players in the last two seasons due to graduation.
Head coach Mark Alexander believes with a school the size of SA, it is hard to maintain a good basketball team when losing those kind of numbers.
Alexander and the Vols welcome two new players who will be sure to boost the SA team.
Juniors O'Shay Kemp and Raheem Robinson are the two newest members to wear the blue and orange. Kemp plays guard and Robinson plays forward.
"They are going to help us a lot," Alexander said. "We will be more athletic than we were last year. We will be able to score the ball a little bit more. Defensive-wise, we have a long way to go. Those new guys have got to learn the system."
Alexander may be more excited about welcoming back point guard Brandon Sharp.
"He hurt his knee early last year," Alexander said. "He didn't get to play a game. He is so good at the point, not a great shooter. It is hard to take the ball from him, and he can get you into an offense. That has been the biggest plus to me so far this summer.
"That will slide Carnail (Minor) to the two-spot, his natural position, and he has been shooting lights out."
The summer is a good time for teams to identify weaknesses, work on those weaknesses and develop different areas of their game. The high school summer basketball league at the Starkville Sportsplex gives team these opportunities.
Alexander wants his team to look at it as something fun to do.
"I absolutely love it," Alexander said. "I tell the guys everyday, 'I wish I was their age again,' because I'd play ball all day. They love it. I think you learn so much especially when you have new players. The more games they play with us the more experience they can get. They get to know me and vice versa so I think it's a plus."
Along with the high school team, the junior varsity Volunteers have also been playing. On Thursday, both the varsity and the junior varsity team played at the same time.
"You almost have to focus more on one team," Alexander said. "Those older guys kind of know the system and they can get by without me a little bit better. The younger guys need a little more guidance."
(Editor's Note: This is a story in a series highlighting high school basketball teams participating in the league at the Starkville Sportsplex. Other teams are scheduled to be featured throughout the summer.)
