On Friday evening, President Obama signed into law the omnibus appropriations bill funding federal agencies through the end of the fiscal year. And he did so in an unusual location: the New Executive Office Building near the White House, and home to many of the employees of the Office of Management and Budget.
Obama told those employees said he chose to make the trek to the facility "because it represents the extraordinary work of so many of you."
In his remarks, Obama was effusive in his praise for OMB staffers and other federal employees throughout Washington's recent fiscal follies:
I know the Office of Management and Budget was one of the hardest hit during the sequester and a lot of you were furloughed. A lot of you who remained during some of these furloughs had to carry extraordinary burdens, and so it took a personal toll on you and it took a personal toll on your family. ...
Across the board, our government is going to be operating without hopefully too many glitches over the next year. And not only is that good for all of you and all the dedicated public servants in the federal government, but most importantly, it's good for the American people because it means that we can focus our attention where we need to -- on growing this economy and making sure that everybody gets a fair shot as long as they try.
We would not be here and we would not be able to sign this legislation if it hadn't been for your work and your dedication. And so this is my way of saying thank you. I want to say thank you to Sylvia and Brian and the whole team here, and everybody represented because, goodness gracious, that is a big piece of business. That is a big bill....
But what that represents is just hours and hours and weekends and nights where people are really paying attention and sweating the details. And that's what you do. So these aren't numbers; these are homeless folks who are getting housing. These are a laid-off worker who suddenly is enrolling in that community college and finding that job that allows them to save a home and get back on track. That's some young scientist who is maybe going to find a cure for cancer or Alzheimer's. That's what those numbers represent. And that's because of you.

I love Ashley Wood's output, and it's easy to admire his independent spirit, but sometimes he announces so many projects that it sometimes seems as if he has creative ADHD. That said, the guy is prolific, and tends to get things done, so I should be happy that he's announced a new venture that sounds very much like a replacement for the late, lamented Swallow, the art magazine he produced at IDW Publishing from 2005 to 2008. From the threeA production blog:
We love art here at 3A, and frankly we want to get more out there, not just ours but other artists. So im going to create a publishing imprint called GOYA to get as many cool mags out as we can featuring known and unknown artists. Kinda like what I did for Swallow but a larger size of 12″x12″ etc. Think of GOYA as a record label, we will release mags that are like EP's for the artist, and then go from there whether it be more books or toys etc.
No kickstarter, no crap printing on overpriced POD systems just cool mags.
Swallow was a fantastic showcase for all kinds of artists that caught Wood's fancy, featuring portfolio work by the top names in comics, illustration and fine art, with an internationalist agenda, and included folks of the caliber of Toby Cypress, Jeremy Geddes, James Jean, Teddy Kristiansen, Jim Mahfood, Paul Pope, Kent Williams, Duncan Fegredo, Glyn Dillon, George Pratt, and a multitude of others. Any sequel to that project will have big shoes to fill, so the best of luck to Ash with this one.

(Release: February 22, 2011) - Hagerstown Community College students Jeremiah Keller, of Wolfsville, Md., and William "Henry" Ricketts, of Hagerstown, recently finished 15-week internships at Hess Construction and Engineering Services, Inc.
Both Keller and Ricketts are mechanical engineering technology majors specializing in computer-aided design (CAD). During their internship, they worked directly with staff from Hess, which is on-site at HCC to build the college's new Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) Building. When completed, the new STEM facility will provide approximately 65,000 square-feet of laboratories, classrooms, and faculty offices in a five-story structure to be built between the existing Science and Classroom Buildings, which will also be renovated.
According to Keller and Ricketts, the work they completed on their internship primarily involved using the computer software Navisworks to work with the Building Information Model (BIM). The BIM model is a three-dimensional computer model of the
STEM building that includes both architectural and structural drawings and is used primarily to check the sub-contractors work in a process that is known as "clash detection." According to Keller, clash detection involves comparing electrical, plumbing, and mechanical blue prints with one another to determine if any conflicts exist, thus allowing the building process to run smoother.
"I am incredibly proud of Jeremiah and Henry," says HCC Mechanical Engineering Instructor Stephanie Rittler. "Both students demonstrated a great amount of fortitude and effort throughout the internship. Their work with the BIM model and CAD drawings of the STEM building was a tremendous help during the beginning phases of construction."
"Internships are an inherent component of learning in construction education," says Zubair Siddiqui, Hess BIM coordinator. "The on-site experience helps students apply the concepts learned in class on an actual construction site and provides a way to bridge the gap between academic theory and practice. Jeremiah and Henry displayed a tremendous aptitude for absorbing new initiatives, be it BIM software or field procedures, while at the same time using the CAD skills they learned in class to help the Hess field team with their daily tasks. We believe this experience will go a long way to enhance their skill sets and further advance their career growth potential."
Keller, 25, will graduate in May 2011 and Ricketts, 54, will receive his degree as soon as the internship is officially completed. Ricketts also holds an associate degree in mechanical engineering technology from Hagerstown Junior College and a bachelor of technology degree in mechanical design engineering technology from Penn State. He says he returned to HCC specifically to learn CAD skills, which were not yet taught when he received his degree from HJC in 1979 and Penn State in 1984.
After graduation, both students plan to go directly into the workforce and hope to find employment at local construction and engineering firms.

Hank Silverberg, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – A federal court could ultimately decide how much drivers pay to use the Dulles Toll Road.
John Corr and John Grigsby are the plaintiffs in the suit. They took the issue of using toll road money to partially finance the Metro expansion to Dulles International Airport to a federal appellate court.
Their attorney, Bob Cynkar, told a three-judge panel of the U. S. Court of Appeals for the federal Circuit in D.C. Tuesday that since some of that toll money would be used for something other than operating or maintaining the road, than the tolls would constitute an illegal tax.
"Under Virginia law, the power to impose a tax can only be exercised by people you can vote out of office," said Cynkar.
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) is building the $6 billion, 23-mile Silver Line extension, using some of the toll money for financing. The board is made up of appointed representatives from Virginia, Maryland, D.C. and the federal government.
Airports Authority attorney Stuart Raphael argued Tuesday that the tolls are user fees, not a tax.
"There's not a single case that the plaintiffs have ever identified where a toll was invalidated as a tax," Raphael said.
Raphael says all the toll money is used for projects within the Dulles transportation corridor, and therefore all toll road users will benefit.
During the arguments, two of the three judges questioned whether they had jurisdiction on the issue or whether it should be heard in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which includes Virginia.
The panel could take weeks to decide on both the jurisdictional issue and the underlying argument. Ultimately, a decision could have an impact on what MWAA can charge in tolls.
Correction: WTOP initially reported the group called "No Toll Increase" was party to the suit. It is not.

Game Night
Max (Jason Bateman) and Annie (Rachel McAdams) meet during Trivia Death Battle night at their local bar and fall madly in love. They get married and hold a weekly couples game night at their house. Maxs charismatic and wealthy brother, Brooks (Kyle Chandler), arranges a murder mystery party at his luxurious house and tells everyone that during the evening, someone will be "taken," and whoever finds the person gets the keys to his stingray. However, when Brooks is kidnapped in front of everyone by brutal thugs, they believe it's all part of the game but is it?
As the three couples set out to solve the case, over the course of the night, they begin to realize that the "game" may not be going exactly to play and that Brooks may not be exactly what he appears to be. Max, Annie and their friends find themselves increasingly in over their heads as each twist leads to another unexpected turn. With no idea what the rules are and who the players are, this could turn out to be the most fun night theyve ever had or it could be game over.

NEW YORK - After being shutout in its last two games, the Yale men's soccer team needed someone to step up Saturday against Columbia. Brad Rose, the Bulldogs leading scorer, was a logical candidate, and he delivered, scoring twice as Yale edged the Lions 2-1 on a mild night at the Columbia Soccer Stadium.
James Prince scored for Columbia at 20:25, but Rose answered with a pair of goals in a 3 minute, 22 second stretch late in the first half. The first came when he headed in a Jon Carlos cross at 31:55 and the second was on a hard shot from 15 yards out at 35:17.
"Brad was very sharp finishing his two chances," said Yale head coach Brian Tompkins.
Rose now leads the Bulldogs with six goals and 16 points.
Goalkeeper Travis Chulick made sure Rose's two goals were enough. He made a diving save to rob Bayo Adafin late in the first half and then denied Adafin again midway through the second half.
"Columbia came at us hard in the second half but we withstood their pressure well," Tompkins said. "Travis made a couple of outstanding saves to seal the victory."
The Lions (4-9-1, 2-3 Ivy) outshot Yale 12-4 in the final 45 minutes.
Chulick finished with seven saves, including six in the second half. Alexander Aurrichio stopped two shots for Columbia.
"We're pleased to get a win on the road," Tompkins said. "Hopefully we can build on it in our final two games."
The Bulldogs (5-7-3, 2-3 Ivy) play their final home game next Saturday against Brown. Kickoff at Reese Stadium is slated for 7 p.m. Yale then closes out the season at Princeton on Nov. 13.

CalPlug's Student Team Zotwatt Competed in 2014 Max Tech Challenge Hosted by US Department of Energy and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Mixer Event at CalPlug with Academic Senates from Top Universities of US
Wall of Power Mobile User Interface for the International Consumer Electronics Conference 2012, Las Vegas
CalPlug's Student Researcher Presenting Latest Energy Efficiency Technology to University Vice Chancellors Across the Nation
One of the more popular demonstrations in the CalPlug Center housed at Calit2 is the "Wall of Power." The living room simulation, equipped with everyday entertainment and household devices that plug into outlets, allows "consumers" to control energy usage by powering devices on and off, while seeing their energy consumption in real-time.
Policy makers, manufacturers, utility representatives and academic researchers joined forces last week at Calit2 to learn from each other in an attempt to advance energy efficiency measures in the rapidly growing plug load sector of electricity use.
When Calit2 researchers launched a large-scale online survey at UC Irvine last spring to learn more about how people manage their computers' energy usage, more than 2,000 people participated. The respondents included students, staff, faculty and retirees.
U.S. Deputy Secretary of Energy Daniel Poneman announced that a UCI-led team of four Orange County colleges and universities was one of 20 chosen to design and build a solar-powered house for the national 2015 Solar Decathlon.
California Energy Commissioner Chair Robert Weisenmiller made a stop at the CalPlug research and demonstration center to see first-hand the numerous energy-efficiency projects underway.

Weird. So it's a brain thing that causes mistaken perceptions. That would totally freak me out.

AH! We just learned about this. So freaking cool!

This is so funny. I can't believe it's real! Not that I'd think it was funny if I actually had it or anything.

Wow humans are so freaking cool. How our brains react to things, how we think.
I heard of this one thing where people believe their body parts don't belong to them and their only happy until they get it removed. Most doctors won't do it, so they resort to doing it themselves.

Okay, out of everything you've posted since I started reading your blog, that is by far the most terrifying. If there's one thing that wigs me out, it's the idea of something messing with my brain. I just don't like that...hence why I've never done drugs.
Even when I had my wisdom teeth out, I only used the prescription to make the pain go away at night so I could sleep. The rest of the time I used over-the-counter stuff. I just like being in control!
- December 6, 2010 at 8:25 AM
- The Red Angel said...
Whoa, this is beyond creepy and weird. O_O I think that's definitely one of the worst types of syndromes I've ever heard of...it must be really horrifying to have to live with it.
Well, thanks for sharing. I wish I could know more about it now! xD

So you're telling me if I think certain things below my waist are too big, and other things above my waist are too small, that's "Alice in Wonderland Syndrom?" Very interesting.
- December 6, 2010 at 8:59 AM
- Jen Chandler said...
I read about this a few months ago. It's intriguing. A little frightening, when you think about it, but interesting.
~Jen :)
- December 6, 2010 at 8:59 AM
Interesting! I wonder if Lewis Carrol would have guessed a syndrome would be named after his book. Or if he had experienced the syndrome is some way forming the idea of the story?? Far-fetched but now you got me thinking!
- December 6, 2010 at 9:13 AM
- Em said...
This is fascinating. And Giles, I don't think that's an unusual fear for someone who writes. I'm the same way regarding medication.
Lydia, your RX cracked me up.

If only treatments were as simple as bottles that say "Drink me."
- December 6, 2010 at 2:19 PM
- Jai Joshi said...
I didn't know that the Alice in Wonderland syndrome was real. That's amazing.
I watched a documentary years ago about amputees who suffered from 'phamtom limb syndrome' (I think it was called that). Basically they were experiencing excruciating pain from a limb they'd already had removed. It was to do with the brain not being able to process that the limb was gone. I thought that was so amazing and also disturbing.
- December 6, 2010 at 2:47 PM
That is fascinating. Wow,wish every treatment came in a little bottle.
- December 6, 2010 at 3:17 PM

So interesting! I think I have it when faced with a plate of fudge. I think my body is smaller than it is and that this won't hurt me at all.

Wow, I love this one! Very very cool name for a not-so-fun illness. :)
- December 6, 2010 at 3:40 PM
- Olga said...
The Alice in Wonderland Syndrome could be a subject for fascinating book, no?
- December 6, 2010 at 4:14 PM
- Holly Ruggiero said...
Interesting. I wonder if doctors or pharmacist have ever considered writing "eat me" on the medicine bottle for migraines? I suppose the humor would be lost. Oh well. I have had a migraine before and I'm glad I didn't get that syndrome.
- December 6, 2010 at 4:14 PM
- Valerie Geary said...
Fascinating... *inspects hands*...Phew! I think I'm normal.
- December 6, 2010 at 6:18 PM
- Walt M said...
This has a lot of comments that could be made and I'm not sure where to take it. Of course, this syndrome did lead to the Jefferson Airplane song, "White Rabbit."

- Dasuntoucha said...
No, the treatment is not a bottle that says "Drink me."...
...that's exactly what popped in my head before I got to this part (^_^) Interesting post.
- December 7, 2010 at 3:03 AM
- Janna Qualman said...
That's really interesting. Love learning about stuff like this.
But something that's concerning is that mention of migraines in there. So many people struggle, for so many reasons.
Hope all is well for you, Lydia! :)
- December 7, 2010 at 7:50 AM
How timely! I just watched Alice In Wonderland (the one with Jonny Depp) a couple days ago. The poor girl couldn't get to the right size no matter what she did. Oy.

Never heard of it, Lydia. Timely post, as I was just going to recommend this book to my niece.
- December 7, 2010 at 11:10 AM
- Amanda Borenstadt said...
Wow! I didn't know.
That's one of my favorite books. I was so pleased when I did a "You write like..." test and it came out Lewis Carol. Hmm, I do have migraines.
Great, now I have that Jefferson Airplane "White Rabbit" song in my head. LOL

- Jennifer Fabulous said...
Yay! A Moz fan?! We're already friends in my book. ;)
And we have something else in common: I used to live in Omaha for several years. :P (Now I live in KC).
And this syndrome sounds so crazy! It has a fabulous name, but that would just...suck. Lol. I had no idea it existed!
Love your blog. :)
- December 7, 2010 at 1:41 PM
- Don't Feed The Pixies said...
there's another one where people become convinced that either a) something is wrong with a limb or b) the limb is not theirs despite its attachment.
It's amazing what the brain will do

What a delightful allusion filled with literary possibilities.

Speaking of Alice, there's also the connection between the "mad" hatter and Hg.

Isn't it amazing how many things have to go right for us to see clearly? All it takes is a litle glitch and you have, not only a malady, but the makings of a great story. Great post! Thanks!

I have been reading through your medical post and this one really jumped out. You learn something new everyday.
I suffer from migraines and often think my stomach is too large; do I qualify? LOL
Seriously, this is a an odd one. Thanks for the information. I am looking for a medical condition for one of characters so I will read more of your post. They are helpful
- April 23, 2011 at 10:50 PM
I just discovered your blog. It's FANTASTIC! I actually had this syndrome as a child, but it only afflicted me when I closed my eyes to go to sleep. No body parts felt too large or too small, but the darkness would change shape and ALL of me would feel tiny in comparison, or too large. I outgrew it, thankfully.
My dad had it as a child, too, only when he closed his eyes, objects, like a telephone pole would turn into toothpicks.
At least I have something to blame my weirdness on...

Yale Seeks Second Straight Win

- Reese Stadium Renovation Press Release
- WTNH NewsChannel 8 Weather Forecast
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - When the Yale men's soccer team walks off the Reese Stadium field for the final time in 2009 following Saturday's game with Brown, they should take a good look around. Because in 2010, the stadium will have a much different look. Construction of Phase II of the Reese Stadium Project will commence on Nov. 9 and will consist of a new stadium structure which will include four team rooms, expanded bleachers, a press box, VIP seating areas and an entryway plaza. It will also feature the names of all former soccer and lacrosse players on the archways leading into the stadium. Kickoff for the final home game of 2009 is slated for 4:30 p.m.
Prior to kickoff, Yale's five seniors - Jon Carlos, Travis Chulick, Kevin Pope, Jordan Raybould and Justin Song - will be honored. During their careers, the five have combined to play in 266 games and help the Bulldogs to nearly 30 victories.
"The senior class is the foundation for our `team-first' approach and has been instrumental in setting a high standard for technical skill, hard work and team spirit," said Yale head coach Brian Tompkins. "The most impressive thing about every one of them is the degree to which they have grown as leaders on and off the field and the remarkable contributions they have made as role models and mentors for their teammates. They have represented Yale with great distinction and they will be missed by players and coaches alike."
Carlos has played in every game during his career. This year he is tied for the team-lead with four assists, all of which have come in Yale wins. In his junior year, he scored both of his goals in a victory over Stony Brook and assisted on the game-winning goal in overtime against Army. In his sophomore year, he was fourth on the team in goals and points and was named the Ivy League Player of the Week following a win over Columbia, and in his freshmen year, he earned honorable mention All-Ivy recognition after starting 16 games.
Chulick has been Yale's starting goalkeeper in each of the last two years. As a senior this fall he has started 14 games, posting five victories, including a shutout of Central Connecticut. As a junior, he played every minute of every game, finishing second in the Ivy League in save percentage and saves and tied for second in shutouts. One of his top performances came against 15th-ranked UConn when he made seven saves as the Bulldogs played a scoreless tie with the Huskies. His first career start came in his sophomore year and he responded by shutting out Stony Brook. He earned his first victory in his freshman year by playing the second half against Albany.
Pope has made important contributions since the day he arrived in New Haven. This season, despite battling an injury, he has played in 12 games. As a junior, he had a goal and an assist in Yale's victory over Columbia and had the game-winning goal against Stony Brook. In his sophomore year, he led the Bulldogs in goals and points. He scored in back-to-back games against UConn and Columbia. As a rookie, he appeared in 11 games and made his first career start against Drake.
Raybould is the second member of his family to serve as the captain of the Bulldogs joining his older brother Ryan. He has started 57 games in his career and all three of his goals have been game-winners. This season he has been the undisputed leader of the team, while appearing in all 15 games. As a junior he was one of only three players to start all 17 games and finished tied for second on the team in assists. In his sophomore year, he earned honorable mention All-Ivy recognition after notching all of his points in Ivy games. He made an immediate impact as a freshman and was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week following a win over Princeton.
Song has appeared in 50 games in his career. This season he has helped anchor Yale's defense and tallied an assist against SMU. As a junior he was the recipient of the Frank Dunne Award as the team's most improved player after starting nine games and notching his first career point, an assist in a victory over Quinnipiac. In his sophomore year he appeared in nine games and as a freshman he started the first game of his career against Marist.
The Bears (8-2-5, 3-2 Ivy) have been nationally ranked for much of the season and have outscored their opponents 26-13. Sean Rosa leads the team in assists (6) and points (14). Nick Elenz-Martin has a team-high five goals.
Last year in Providence, Aden Farina-Henry and Sam Post scored to lift the Bulldogs to a 2-0 victory over Brown.

The giant crater has been paved over. The cause of the 13-million-gallon water main gusher has been determined. And the store buildings have been repaired and are open again at Bakers Centre in East Falls.
How much the business owners will receive in damages from the city and their insurance companies is still uncertain, however.
The shopping plaza at 3400 Fox Street, which isn't even a year old, suffered a rupture of a 48-inch water main in the early morning hours on Jan. 11. The resulting flood led to the evacuation of the adjacent ShopRite and Ross stores, and major damage to the smaller Hair Buzz and Dollar Plus nearby. The break caused an 80-foot by 60-foot hole in the new parking lot as well.
Excavation of the broken pipe required Philadelphia Water Department crews to dig 50 feet down to retrieve the pieces and send them to an independent forensic lab to investigate the cause. This week, PWD public affairs manager Joanne Dahme said the primary cause of the break was "mechanical stress," probably due to the heavy construction work that took place when the shopping center was being developed.
The combination of traffic loads, soil movement, and internal pressure contributed to the break, the PWD investigation found.
The broken transmission pipe dated back to 1895. Life expectancy for such water mains is 120 years, so this one was due.
"External corrosion of the pipe was not a factor in the failure," Dahme wrote in an email. "However, it does appear that internal corrosion did play a role in crack initiation. There is evident internal corrosion pitting along an area of the crack front where it is suspected that the crack initiated. This internal corrosion occurred before the line was cleaned and cement-lined in 1982."
The damage done by the main break is in the millions, according to the businesses affected. The owner of the ShopRite estimated losses in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The developer, Michael Grasso, said in January that damage to the parking lot was at least $3 million.
Andy Kim, manager of Hair Buzz, which sells wigs and hair supplies, said his staff had performed most of the cleanup and repair work, with support from the landlord/developer Grasso. Kim said he will be claiming more than $200,000 in damages, but he foresees a long wait to collect.
State law caps the city's payouts for such incidents at $500,000 total for all the parties involved. Mark McDonald, the Mayor's press secretary, said the city's Risk Management Unit is still awaiting claim forms from the Bakers Centre developer and other businesses affected by the break.
A severe main break at 21st and Brainbridge Streets two years ago spurred state Sen. Larry Farnese to introduce a bill to raise the cap for damages to $2 million. The bill is currently with the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Farnese's office does not know when it will move out of committee.
"We're optimistic for it, certainly," said Cameron Kline, a spokesperson for the senator. The bill is "still around, and we'll keep pushing."

More on the Lotus Symphony and desktop productivity roadmap
February 5 2012
Just after Lotusphere, IBM released Lotus Symphony 3.0.1. This new version of Symphony features several incremental enhancements and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to the OpenOffice-based desktop productivity market.
In my earlier blog entry, I indicated that our energy around the next release of Symphony is combining with the open-source community around the Apache OpenOffice project. Rather than continue Symphony as a separate fork, we plan to contribute the Symphony codebase into the project that should be released later this year as Apache OpenOffice 4.0. We've hired developers with deep expertise in OpenOffice; I'll be blogging about them later this week.
Unfortunately some headlines in the press created the impression that this merged effort with Apache somehow signaled IBM backing away from the desktop productivity space, and Symphony specifically. To be clear, Symphony 3.0.1 is the current release and will be until the Apache OpenOffice 4 release is done. At that time, IBM will distribute an IBM edition of OpenOffice, with extensions to integrate it with our other collaboration products, and with IBM support in exactly the same way that we support both embedded and stand-alone Symphony users today.
IBM ourselves are in the process of rolling out the upgrade to Symphony 3.0.1 to all 400,000 desktop users internally; we will upgrade to the OpenOffice 4 release once it is complete. All the file compatibility and investment in Symphony just carries forward into that new release, and in our internal work effort the contributions individual IBMers are making to OpenOffice 4 are in the same mindset and energy level we have had in building Symphony.
To help clarify the roadmap and strategy, we've posted a couple of resources.
1) Here is Eric Otchet's Lotusphere presentation; Eric works for me as the Symphony product manager. Eric is signed up as a committer on the Apache OpenOffice project, along with many other IBMers.
2) We've also posted a buzz entry on symphony.lotus.com, featuring an FAQ about the future of Symphony, the Apache OpenOffice project, and more.
Also, my colleague Rob Weir has written on the topic, and as mentioned, I'll have more to say after my visit to Hamburg during the week ahead.

Make Your Own Plastic Cap Molding Photo Display Ledge
Here's an easy project to decorate the walls with your collection of photos for under $20. Print out those Instagrasms or Flickr photos as 3 1/2" x 4" images and use a Polaroid photo template for the full effect...
According to the Photojojo team, they were able to put together a photo ledge display for under $20 using the following:
- 8′ Piece of Plastic Cap Molding, available at local hardware stores
- Adhesive Strips or Sticky Tack
- Measuring Tape
- Utility Knife
- Cutting Surface
- Instant Photos
We'd recommend using 3M Command Strips, since they won't damage your walls if/when you decide you want to remove or move your display ledges anywhere else. Also, a wall level would be handy to ensure a horizontally level shelf. Otherwise, this seems like an affordable solution for bringing a little wall art into a home office or hallway (imagine it stretching all the way down for 10-12'!) without much DIY skills except measuring and sticking ong the molding.

MONDAY, Dec. 27, 2010 (HealthDay News) -- Marilyn Norred has known for 30 years that she had cataracts in both eyes.
"They saw them back then and said, 'Someday they'll be growing, and you'll need surgery then,'" Norred, now 74 and living in Oklahoma City, recalled.
That time came this year. Norred had cataract surgery in both eyes in the spring -- the right eye on May 27 and the left eye on June 10.
Her vision, she said, had become increasingly blurry. Because she also has glaucoma, she sees her eye doctor every six months. On the latest visit, the doctor noticed that the cataracts had begun to get worse.
"She said, 'You'll let me know when you're ready for the surgery,' and I said, 'Well, I am,'" Norred recalled, with a chuckle. "When you can't read the scores from the football game on the TV, you know something's wrong."
She admitted being nervous leading up to the surgery. "I'm a retired registered nurse, but you still get nervous when it's you," she said. During the procedure, she would be awake, but numb. "The doctor said, 'You'll see lights and colors, but there's no feeling at all,'" Norred recounted. "They numb it up pretty good."
And that's what Norred recalls from the surgery: lights, colors and lots of water. "It was just flooded," she said. "I don't know what they did." She said the surgeries lasted about 15 to 20 minutes, and then she spent 20 minutes in recovery. She left both times already seeing through the eye that had been operated on.
"They do not put eye patches on anymore," Norred said. "They give you sunglasses to wear, and you have to wear an eye patch when you sleep [because] they don't want you to hit your eye."
She said her vision was blurry for a few hours but had begun to clear by the end of the day.
"Every day after that, it gets better and better and better," she said. "I was so amazed with the colors and the brightness of this world. I didn't know I was that bad off. Things just gradually deteriorated, and you don't realize your eyesight is dim until you get this wonderful gift."
Her advice to others with cataracts? Look forward to the surgery rather than being frightened by the prospect.
"Have it done," she said. "There's no problem. It's just a gift to have this eyesight back again. I know it's scary to have someone messing with your eyes. That was my problem. But it works."
More information
A companion article on cataracts explains many of the myths surrounding the condition.


text: Dubai - World No 4 Agnieszka Radwanska overcame a misfiring serve to beat Kazakh teenager Yulia Putintseva 7-5, 6-3 in the second round of the Dubai women's tennis championships on Wednesday. The Pole, who received a first-round bye, lost three of her first four service games on an overcast centre court and she will need to improve if she is retain her Dubai title, with Petra Kvitova or Ana Ivanovic awaiting her in the next round. "For me, the first match is always a bit tricky," Radwanska told reporters. "I didn't hit on the centre court here this year, and I was just practising outside - it was actually much faster. I was surprised - the ball is just not going anywhere and it was tough for me." Serving at 3-3, Radwanska saved four break points after falling 0-40 behind, but Putintseva was undeterred and she earned another break point with a forehand winner down the line that fizzed past the advancing Pole. Rattled, the 2012 Wimbledon finalist double-faulted to fall 4-3 behind. Radwanska, 23, responded by coming to the net more frequently to force Putintseva, ranked 101 in the world, to play on the back foot. The Kazakh, seeking her third victory over a top-50 player, was found wanting and Radwanska broke for 4-4, with six out of eight games going against serve. Putintseva, who beat Britain's Laura Robson in an all-teenage first-round battle, prefers brute force over finesse and although a fast hitter, she consistently played the ball too short, allowing Radwanska to stay in rallies with relative ease. The Pole was too out of sorts to fully exploit her opponent's shortcomings but as the overcast sky gave way to a muggy desert sun she also upped the playing temperature on court, earning two set points with a flat forehand winner down the line. She needed only one as a tempestuous Putintseva smashed an attempted winner long. Radwanska's greater pedigree - she has 12 tour singles titles to her name, while Putintseva has never made it beyond the second round of a tournament - eventually told, and she won five of the last six games. "In the very important moments a bit of experience is always good to have," added Radwanska. Former world No 1 Caroline Wozniacki routed Chinese qualifier Jie Zheng 6-0, 6-1, while Russian veteran Nadia Petrova had a similar romp against Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro, winning 6-1, 6-0.Results from the third day of the Dubai WTA Open on Wednesday:First roundMarion Bartoli, France, def.

Jeremy Irons gave an interview to Huffington Post Live yesterday and and the
64-year-old Oscar winner and one-time relevant actor had some interesting ideas about gay marriage. But did Irons take the chance to support the cause? Or to give your standard right-wing justifications as to why it should be illegal? No, no. He took a different approach altogether. For Irons, it's not an issue of equality or family values, but instead one of potential father-son incest, to avoid taxes.
"Tax wise, it' s an interesting [question]," Irons said. "Could a father not marry his son?"
When HuffPost Live host Josh Zepps correctly pointed out that there are laws against incest, Irons was undeterred, by reason or anything else. "It's not incest between men," he said, shaking his head. "Incest is there to protect us from having ...uh...inbreeding. But men don't breed. But men don't breed so incest wouldn't cover that. But if that was so, if I wanted to pass on my estate without estate duties, I could marry my son and pass on my estate to him."
Irons went on, saying he "didn't have a strong feeling either way" and that he "[wishes] everybody who's living with one other person the best of luck in the world, because it's fantastic. Living with another animal, whether it be a husband or a dog, is great. It's lovely to have someone to love. I don't think sex matters at all. What it's called doesn't matter at all." Unless, he probably forgot to add, it's legal same sex marriage, in which case there will be rampant weddings between fathers and sons, for tax purposes.
So, in case you were wondering what the the villain from Die Hard With a Vengeance thought about gay marriage, there you have it.

VW Beetle Joins with Apple to Create iPhone-Compatible iBeetle
- iBeetle revealed at Shanghai Auto Show
- Modified VW Beetle includes iPhone dock
- Also includes app with unique features
Volkswagen is teaming up with Apple for a new version of its iconic Beetle. The Volkswagen iBeetle was recently revealed at the Shanghai Auto Show. In addition to a specialized iPhone dock, it features a unique app that lets users access various in-car functions.
For many iPhone users, the most exciting feature of the iBeetle is its built-in docking station. Located on top of the dashboard, the dock allows drivers or passengers to simply snap in their iPhones. Once they do, it's completely integrated with the Beetle. That means it can be used for navigation, calling and music. It can be also used to access the new VW Beetle app.
According to Volkswagen, the Beetle app provides several different functions useful to drivers. Using Spotify through the app, for example, drivers can stream media and listen to playlists. Drivers can also share music with friends.
But the app goes beyond entertainment. In "Expert" mode, it also offers what VW calls an extended instrument panel. The mode provides drivers with a "G meter" to measure G-forces in turns, oil and coolant temperature gauges, a stopwatch and -- perhaps most importantly -- a compass.
App users can also access the "Trainer" function to measure driving times, distances and fuel economy. Drivers can even use this function to compare gas mileage with other Beetle owners. Undoubtedly, "Trainer" will also help those looking to maximize gas mileage and minimize route times.
Another useful app function is "Reader," which reads text messages and Facebook posts aloud. That means drivers won't have to take their hands off the wheel to stay in touch. The "Postcard" function sends the Beetle's current location to other drivers. And "Photo" takes an in-car photo and posts it to social media.
Volkswagen says the iBeetle is one of the first cars in the world to have a genuine interface for the popular iPhone. We're eager to try it out -- and Volkswagen says we'll have the chance when the iBeetle reach dealers early next year. When they do arrive, they'll feature unique "Disc" alloy wheels and iPhone-inspired color choices that include white, black, gray and silver.
What it means to you: The iBeetle brings together the iconic Volkswagen Beetle and Apple's wildly popular iPhone.

Just one icon depicting a "cable release" for digital cameras. What I have in mind as the endresult of the icon is a mixture of two pictures:
- cable release icon of a Nikon SLR camera, see:
- the "mouse" icon within the icons8 library, see:
I like the curly mouse cord that is drawn in the "mouse" icon. I also like the simple cable release picture which resides on all Nikon cameras, with one small correction: the handle of the cable release should be drawn diagonally just like how the mouse is drawn. The cord should be drawn just like it's done in the "mouse" icon. Thanks in advance.

Q&A with Artist Troy Gua (Part 2 of 2)
Photos (except for the "Le Petit Prince" series, which were taken from Google Images) courtesy of Troy Gua.
If you missed Part One of this Q&A with artist Troy Gua, catch up on what you missed here.
A2G: The Prince fan community, which can be very hard to please, really seemed to love "Le Petit Prince," but Prince himself did not. What happened?
TG: I don't know what finally caused the cease and desist order, because I had been advertising the sale of prints of the work (*my* work) for a while, but it was when I began selling calendars that I got shut down. I have to point out that I was only selling merchandise of this work to fund the project's continuation towards the completion of the book. And I still feel that I was doing no wrong – I was simply filtering my memories, expressing my vision of a great artistic influence in my own artistic language – based on existing imagery, yes, but made wholly new by my interpretation – which so much of art is. Anyhoo, after 11 months of work, I received an email from the lawyers and a letter via FedEx the next day. It basically said that because of my use of Prince's likeness to sell work, I needed to erase LPP from the internet and never show the work online or off. So – in the end I guess it was about money.
A2G: Did any of his associates give you advice/support for dealing with the cease and desist order?
TG: No advice, really, but a lot of support – several of his former bandmates/associates posted really wonderful, supportive comments on Facebook and such.
A2G: Aside from working through lawyers, you were never contacted by Prince. If you could send a message to Prince, what would you say about this whole situation?
TG: Wow, I really don't know what he personally thinks of the project, so that's a tough question. I'd like him to know that the LPP Project was meant as a loving and respectful tribute to him, and nothing more. It grew out of something I made for myself into something so much bigger than I could have ever planned or imagined, and was fueled by his fans' adoration and passion for him and his art, on a global scale. The only ingredients in this project were admiration, joy and love, and it was a sad thing to have it stamped out so unceremoniously. I'd like to say "Let's get together and make some wonderful art and make people smile – the world needs more of both".
A2G: If Prince or his legal team were to change his/their mind(s), would you continue the "Le Petit Prince" project or has this experience soured you?
TG: I would, and I have continued – I just don't post the work online. I was in the process of filling the visual gaps in Prince's career to compile images for the book when the c&d came down, and I was actually getting close to wrapping – at least as far as that part of the project went. If Prince would change his mind and get on board, it would make a lot of people happy. We could offer the book (which is a beautiful, 12×12″, 160+ page coffee table volume including tons of never before seen, unreleased work), and who knows, maybe even LPP reproductions. The fans would LOVE it. I've been doing the most recent looks and some more surreal, fantastical stuff referencing the whole '3rd Eye Girl' thing that's been going on. I could, of course, go on forever with it, being there is so much source material, but I won't…or will I?
TG (continued): At the end of the day, I do have a problem with reconciling the concept of an artist censoring another artist, especially when the artwork in question was clearly a loving tribute. Appropriation is a tradition, art historically speaking, and there would have never been an Andy Warhol without it. Appropriation happens to be a big part of what I do as an artist, but the work I did with "Le Petit Prince" was a reimagining, an artistic interpretation of Prince as my life's greatest inspiration, and *I* created that work using that inspiration, stealing nothing. I hold to that truth – and it could be argued. When the cease and desist order came down, my first reaction was to acquiesce – to fight would have been in direct opposition to the spirit of the project itself. But looking back on the situation now, I do feel it's a bit extreme and quite unfair to the project's fans as well as myself to not allow the work to exist or be shown anywhere – online or off. I still hold some hold hope that that decision can and will be reversed at some point.
A2G: After the Prince debacle, you wasted no time and designed your own line of customizable T-shirts? Please tell us about them and what made you go this route?
TG: I got no time to waste! 🙂 I have so many ideas that it's a struggle to get them made – they were backing up all last year when I was so focused on LPP, so now they're starting to come flying out in various forms. I've been thinking about this particular design for a while – the <3 texting code for love. I call my design 'Metamodern Love'. I'm fascinated with symbols and pictograms, and I wanted to use it as an updated version of Robert Indiana's LOVE works, and it just seems like a design that would be big for the digital demographic. I'm into getting my work into people's lives any way I can, and if that means on a t-shirt, I'm cool with that (I plan on releasing the design as a 'floating heart' pendant as well as a pin in the very near future). Plus, it is a symbol of positivity, of love – and as for the term 'metamodern', from Wikipedia: "Van den Akker and Vermeulen define metamodernism as a continuous oscillation, a constant repositioning between positions and mindsets that are evocative of the modern and of the postmodern but are ultimately suggestive of another sensibility that is neither of them: one that negotiates between a yearning for universal truths on the one hand and an (a)political relativism on the other, between hope and doubt, sincerity and irony, knowingness and naivety, construction and deconstruction."
A2G: You've also done a series of "Pop Hybrids." (please explain the process or how the series came about). Have you received any feedback from the artists you've immortalized?
TG: The whole idea started when I decided to reboot my style by making abstract, highly graphic paintings of overlapping circles – the overlapping colors would make new colors, and new shapes were made by the overlaps. At the same time I had started making these 2D paper cutouts representing iconic faces that I would sandwich between glass in shadowboxes. I melded the two ideas together, essentially. I thought about the idea of overlapping, layering, and how we're all running out of space – literally, mentally, memorially – and I thought about how, in the theoretical future, in order to save room, we're going to have to combine objects, combine personalities, combine everything – distillation and hybridization. That made sense to me as a concept – and in keeping with the concept, I wanted to insert as many layers of interpretation into the work as I could. For instance, 'The Boy King of Pop' is a combination of Michael Jackson and King Tut. Layer one: the title – it hybridizes their popular monikers "The Boy King' and 'The King of Pop'. Layer two: they were both children thrust into the limelight without a choice or a voice in the matter. Layer three: they both ended up in masks of different sorts, literally and figuratively. I try to implement this layering system with all the pieces in the series, sometime more successfully than other times. As for feedback, I haven't heard from anyone, but then again, many of the subjects are dead and buried.
A2G: What's a typical day in your life like?
TG: I live a pretty low-key life, really. I get up around 7am, have breakfast with my beautiful bride, and scan my computer in my usual loop of email, Facebook, job search (I need to either find a better way to make the art career pay off, or sell my soul – I'd prefer the former to the latter). Then I either exercise at the gym or go running to maintain my girlish figure, run errands, and then it's time to work on whatever project(s) I'm working on, which is usually several at once. I stay pretty attached to my laptop and keep connected as much as possible with the social medias, which I see as part of the job of being an artist today – at least an artist at my level. My wife is going to school full-time and doing a couple of courses online, so we spend much of the day in close proximity and share meals and such. I love it – she's my bestie. At night, we usually watch an episode of whatever show we're currently obsessed with and turn in around 10 or 11. I used to go to a ton of art events, but that became draining and felt obligatory, so I stopped for about a year. I'm trying to ween myself back into going out more, though. Pretty mellow lifestyle, these days.
A2G: Any plans on exhibiting in New York?
TG: Of course, that's the dream – no plans at this point, because I haven't been able to make any gallery connections, but if I can make it there…and if you know anybody, I'm so ready for a big break.
A2G: What does the future hold for you?
TG: I've got ideas for daaaayzzzz…I really just want to be able to continue to manifest my concepts, execute my work to the best of my ability and share what I do with the hope that it invites people to think, ask questions, and smile – on as big a scale as possible. I do have a solo show of my 'Pop Hybrid' series coming up in May at the Kenneth Paul Lesko Gallery in Cleveland – working my way towards NYC.
As you have seen from all these extremely diverse works of art, Troy Gua is definitely an artist to watch and I am very excited to see what he comes up with next. Thanks again Troy and my fingers are crossed for a New York exhibit soon! And Prince, if you are out there, please reconsider your harsh decision and let "Le Petit Prince" live again. Art lovers and Prince fans unite and let's help make this happen! Visit Troy Gua's official website here. (link will open in new window)

For those of you who are visiting for the first time, welcome to Fabric Mutt! Sewing has been an incredible adventure for me since I picked it up again in 2011. After being a teacher for nine years and an assistant principal for one, I decided to become a stay-at-home mom in 2009. It was a big change for me after working since I was a teenager, and it took a while for me to find my balance. When my mom brought a new sewing machine into our home in the fall of 2011, she opened up a whole new world to me. I immediately began looking for inspiration on the web, and I was amazed at the treasure trove that I found in the online quilting community. By the end of December 2011, I decided to start Fabric Mutt as a way to share my projects with my out-of-state family as well as track my own progress. It's been amazing to connect with so many other bloggers who share my love of sewing!
My family and I share a home in the beautiful hill country of Texas. My husband and I bought a home with my parents for the first time in Southern California back in 2008, and we liked it so much that we all moved to the San Antonio area together to purchase a big rambling home in a more rural area. We also share the space with our three little girls, affectionately known as Bunny (10), Bear (8), and Mouse (7). It's a fantastic situation for us, and we enjoy lots of family time together. With all of the chores and homeschooling involved in daily life, sewing doesn't always happen as easily as I'd like it to, but I manage to fit it in as I go along.
In 2015, I published my first book with Stash Books through C&T Publishing. Sew Organized for the Busy Girl gives you lots of ideas and projects to help you make time to sew in the midst of a busy life. You can read more about it here.
In 2016, I became a fabric designer for Riley Blake Designs. My first collection, Five & Dime, was produced under their Penny Rose Fabrics division. My next collection, Date Night, will be under the RBD label, and it comes out in June 2018. It's been so much fun to combine my love of sewing and illustration in this new adventure! You can see more of my work in this department here on the RBD website.
Feel free to check out the different pages on my navigation bar at the top of my blog for some of the things I've been up lately or check out my social media pages on the left side of the page. I hope you'll find something you can use! Email me any time at hjstaples at gmail dot com. You can also leave me a comment on any of my posts.
Thanks so much for stopping by today -- I appreciate all of my readers so much. It's a joy to share a small part of my life with you!
Happy sewing!

Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C is an infectious disease caused by the hepatitis C virus, which infiltrates the liver and other organs. It causes inflammation and damage to DNA regulatory genes.
According to a 2007 report, hepatitis C (HCV) causes more deaths each year in the U.S. than human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HCV is a primary reason why people need liver transplants. More than 4 million Americans are infected with HCV (NIH 2009; Rosen 2011; Holmberg 2011; Rubin 2011).
Approximately 75%-85% of people infected with HCV develop a chronic infection and face the risk of advanced liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, cancer, and other complications (Chen 2006).
Many people have the disease for decades before it is diagnosed. This is because HCV infection usually causes only minor symptoms until liver damage is advanced (Mayo Clinic 2011).
In some cases, liver abnormalities detected during routine blood work can suggest to a physician that a patient might have an HCV infection. This may allow treatment to begin before the disease reaches a critical stage. Therefore, proactive blood testing could be helpful in discovering an undetected HCV infection (McDonald 2010).
Though current standard of care has met with somewhat limited success and is burdened by considerable side effects, exciting findings reveal potential for underutilized drug strategies, such as metformin and thymosin alpha-1, to complement conventional treatment and improve outcomes in hepatitis C (Poo 2008; Baek 2007; Ciancio 2010; Yu 2012; Romero-Gómez 2009; Nkontchou 2011).
In this protocol, you will learn about how the hepatitis C virus is transmitted and the consequences of an infection. You will also discover that many people may not realize they are infected, and early detection can save lives. Lastly, you will find out about breakthroughs on the horizon that promise to vastly improve medical treatment outcomes as well as several natural compounds that target multiple aspects of hepatitis C.

As we all see often, "thats just a benchmark, doesnt relate to the real world of course". It does in some way, but it needs to be specified. I am not sure how many people use which of the various parallel message interfaces between nodes, but it would be good if we could somehow get figures that relate to these packages. I personally am interested in LAM/MPI's performance with Gromacs. For the limited set of jobs I've played with, I've only seem LAM want to use packets of 700-1000 bytes. At that size we're not interested in throughput of course, at least not directly - we're more interested in latency. I am not sure if the netperf numbers for each of the different configurations we've seen in the last few days can predict what the LAM/MPI performance will be for my types of applications or for the myriad of other uses that people may want to put GBE networks to. Is there a way to relate these numbers to LAM/MPI or other parallel meshes that beowulfers use? Is there a standard network benchmark that should be used for LAM? Or are we reduced to running exactly our particular jobs of interest on the exact configuration we'd use in production in order to get relevant stats? Thats not so useful when trying to spec out a new cluster for purchase - being able to relate real world performance to simpler benchmarks would obviously be very useful to all of us. But how to go about doing this? (Do we want to make a standard beowulf-l benchmark package that runs a subset of benchmarks that may shed some light on all the different performance concerns that various factions on this list have? :) /kc > > Tim > > Tim Carlson > Voice: (509) 376 3423 > Email: Tim.Carlson at pnl.gov > EMSL UNIX System Support > > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf -- Ken Chase, math at velocet.ca * Velocet Communications Inc. * Toronto, CANADA

Next time you check into a hotel, here's a little prank you can try on the desk clerk.
When he asks you for your credit card as insurance, ask him to feel the serial number on the card with his forefinger and then without warning him, just wipe the numbers off by rubbing your finger over them. If he doesn't fall out of his chair, it is because, he'll be to busy gawking in disbelief.
