The boast on OC Breast Wellness' website sounds intriguing: a "state-of-the-art" medical device that detects breast cancer eight to 10 years before mammography.
Is it true?
The FDA says no, and a leading breast cancer organization calls the device unreliable.
"Thermography cannot distinguish between benign and cancerous [growths]. And ... it is not good at finding cancers deeper within the breast tissue," according to a report by Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Last year, the FDA issued a warning to consumers, state prosecutors and cancer organizations about clinics promoting thermography -- which uses an infrared camera to map variations in skin temperature -- as a substitute for mammograms.
The FDA said it found no scientific evidence to support "misleading claims" that thermography can "detect pre-cancerous abnormalities and diagnose breast cancer long before mammography."
The FDA also sent cease-and-desist letters to several clinics and companies making such boasts.
But a number of practitioners still promote thermography as superior to mammography. O2 Wellness of San Clemente, Balance in Motion of Costa Mesa and Lesli Remington of Thermal Body Scans in Costa Mesa, for example, also claim thermography can detect tumors a decade sooner than mammograms.
When the FDA was asked about OC Breast Wellness -- which is operated by chiropractor Charles Hough and former swing dance champion Janice Salmon -- a spokeswoman said the agency doesn't comment on specific advertising claims.
OC Breast Wellness, which charges $235 for a thermography exam, declined to respond for this article. "No comment," Salmon said via email.
The FDA, citing numerous health and cancer organizations, recommends mammograms as "still the most effective method of detecting breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages." The agency said it issued its warning about thermography because it is "concerned that women will believe these misleading claims about thermography and not receive needed mammograms."

As I have read many comments in blogs and newspapers over the last two years regarding the Nutrition in the School Initiative, I have been left, at many times, surprised. How is it that doing something for the better can be criticized so much and continue to endure personal attacks? I realize that people may disagree, but what is bothersome to me is that there is so much inaccurate information, that I wanted to take this time, as the leader of this initiative, to clarify. As we have been called some extremely hurtful names, I will only say this about the people involved in this initiative: They are very caring and dedicated individuals, including physicians, nurses and nutritionists, who have taken the time away from their own families to try and address a national problem, that will affect the health and well-being of many kids across the country. Although, as the one who started this initiative, I would like to take the credit for doing a unique thing; this is not unique, as it is being done all across the country, and even in some neighboring school districts. Trying to do "our" part in addressing a national health crisis, How could that be a bad thing? To call these parents the names that they have been called, is not only inaccurate, but mean.
It is easy to make statements about things like additional waste and cost, but with no financial information to back them up, they again become inaccurate. I have been following closely as I see the comments about how this initiative is costing the district so much money and there is so much wasted food because of it, but yet, have not seen anything to support such remarks. Instead, it puts ideas in people's heads that do not belong there. For the record, to my knowledge, there have been no extra costs associated with legal or consultation fees. Until we see financial information (future school board meeting), it is only fair to hold back from such conjectures.
Wellness Policy - This is a policy that had been in place long before the NIS initiative, but in fact was not truly being followed. This is a state mandated policy that each school must have. What has been done in the last two years, is to re-read the policy and make it more about Upper Dublin versus a boiler plate policy that would be used in any school. The government was going to be enforcing new regulations starting this school year, and actually what was done in this district last year, was exactly what the government was enforcing for this year. We were doing what Upper Dublin does best, staying a step ahead. More vegetables, fruits, and whole grains and limiting sugars, sodium and saturated fats is what the new regulations are about. Do you know that beginning next school year (2013-2014) every grain item will have to have a whole grain as its first ingredient? No more regular white pasta, not due to NIS, due to USDA and NSLP (National School Lunch Program). For those that believe that kids will not eat the vegetables and fruits (which is an inaccurate remark) and therefore it is contributing to the waste, blame the government, not NIS.
One more story I would like to share. As so many of the comments have said, "go away, we do not want your help", I have to ask, who does not want our help? Just as I was ready to stop the initiative in this district because of the continuing questioning resistance, I had a woman who emailed me and asked that I please continue with what we were doing, as she does not go to school board meetings, and does not like to speak up, but she has a child that gets a school lunch every day out of necessity, and wants him to have healthful food. She thanked me for what we were trying to do, and although she did not speak, she came to a school board meeting because she wanted to show her support, for something that was so important to her. So for those saying to "go away", now you know why we cannot; because this initiative is to help those that do not have the choices that most of us have, and those are the people that want our help, and so the initiative will continue. For those that do not care for healthful lunches (and they can be very tasteful, contrary to what some may believe), I say pack your children their lunches, because unlike the woman mentioned above, you do have a choice.
Although change is never easy for anyone, and sometimes causes resistance, it usually turns out to be for the better. The government is making many of these changes that are being blamed on this initiative. The initiative agrees with many of the changes, as they are for the better health and well -being of the children and are helping to set them up for more productive school days and healthier, longer lives. For those who disagree with that, you will never understand this initiative and therefore will never support it. But please do us, the people who want to work for the greater good, a favor; stop with the name calling, finger pointing and stating totally inaccurate facts. NIS is trying to do a good thing, we should not be made to feel so badly for doing it.

Coverage Measurement and Profiling
KProf provides a KDE-based GUI for viewing gprof results. It is available from kprof.sourceforge.net and can be built with the standard ./configure; make; make install process.
After launching KProf, go to Filerarr;Open to open either an executable for which profiling measurements have been taken or a text file that contains a gprof report. If you open an executable, KProf assumes that the profiling data is contained in the current directory in gmon.out.
Figure 4 shows a view of KProf displaying the results from the fib example. The circular arrow by the Fibonacci results indicate the function is called recursively.
Zach Frey (email@example.com) works as an application engineer at New Eagle, a division of Mototron, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He has more experience with software tests than he cares to admit, but he still finds improving software quality to be an interesting topic.
Is there any coverage tool
Is there any coverage tool available that only works on source files and not on executables. I mean I dont want to compile the source files even once still I want to find out the coverage in the code.
Is it possible?
Please help. I'll really appreciate your effort if you get me any information regarding the matter.
help needed in installing ggcov
We have tried installing ggcov
we had followed following steps.
./configure (it satisfies our pc configuration)
make install
It is not getting installed properly...
How can we check it is properly installed or not....?
Is there any other steps to covered...
please kindly help
hai, i understood your
i understood your problem.....
me also struck with that problem but what i did was,
i just installed ggcov-06 instead of ggcov-08.....
in ggcov ,it is asking someother file which we could not get fro internet...
so better to go to install ggcov-06
thanks and regards,
when i try to run ggcov in SUSE LINUX 10.1 using the command line ggcov ,i do not get any error message.but the results are not displayed.
the installation had no problems.
If anybody who is familiar with ggcov can give me a detailed idea about how to use this tool,please reply.
anybody kindly post a reply regarding how to implement ggcov
I could run ggcov successfully on the command prompt but I can't view any GUI.So please tell me the syntax/procedures of using ggcov.My linux version is SUSE 9.0

valgrind coverage
I thought I'd add a comment to say that some people are using Valgrind to do coverage testing using the 'cachegrind' tool.
Great article, a nice clear introduction to the topic.
Thanks very much for this informative example. I was surprised that 50% is about average for code coverage!
Re: Coverage Measurement and Profiling
Very nice article, I enjoyed it and learned new (for me) methods
thanks a lot
Don't forget lcov!
lcov is a nice addition to gcof; like ggcov, it shows summaries
for multiple files. It goes beyond ggcov, I think, in that it
handles entire directory hierarchies. It can handle the Linux
kernel and Wine, for instance. It outputs HTML rather than
presenting a GUI, but that's kind of a plus in my book.
It's at ltp.sf.net/coverage/lcov.php
Re: Don't forget lcov!
Lcov does look very nice. My intent wasn't to do a comprehensive survey of tools, but to introduce the basics of gcov and gprof and give an example of a representative "add-on" for each.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Thread: A prominent New York Democratic congressman publicly questioned Caroline Kennedy's credentials to replace Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton
A prominent New York Democratic congressman publicly questioned Caroline Kennedy's credentials to replace Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton
ALBANY - A prominent New York Democratic congressman publicly questioned Caroline Kennedy's credentials to replace Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, saying she's no more qualified to hold office than Jennifer Lopez.
Rep. Gary Ackerman of Queens, a 25-year veteran of Congress, declared in a radio interview: "I don't know what Caroline Kennedy's qualifications are."
"Except that she has name recognition, but so does J.Lo," Ackerman continued on Steve Malzberg's radio show on WOR. "I wouldn't make J.Lo the senator unless she proved she had great qualifications, but we haven't seen them yet."
Ackerman's interview was posted on the Web by Malzberg yesterday after being broadcast Monday.
Ackerman is the first prominent New York Democrat to question Kennedy's credentials at a time when Gov. Paterson is considering John F. Kennedy's daughter as one of a dozen potential replacements for Clinton, President-elect Barack Obama's choice for secretary of state.
Some Democratic activists have publicly questioned the fitness of Kennedy, a lawyer and mother of three who has never sought public office, for the Senate. But no prominent elected Democrat had been willing to take on a member of the powerful Kennedy clan until now.
Ackerman also joked that he had taken himself out of the running for the Senate in a way that appeared to highlight Kennedy's lack of statewide experience. He said he wouldn't want to replace Clinton "because I don't do Utica, and that's a qualification for the job."
A Marist College poll Tuesday showed that Kennedy, who lives in Manhattan, has her weakest support for a potential Senate race among upstate voters.
Ackerman's eyebrow-raising comments came as Paterson signaled his unhappiness with efforts by several prominent people, including members of Kennedy family, to lobby him on behalf of their favored candidates.
"It's important for the candidates to focus all of their activities on trying to establish that they are the best candidate, and not on trying to assert any undue influence," said Paterson.
"It's important for me to concentrate only on how the candidates will help New York if they are chosen to serve in the Senate."
Some members of the Kennedy family - including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of former New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy - have been lobbying for Caroline to get Clinton's job.
So she is a NY resident? Not the true "carpetbagger". ??Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.-- Anonymous
Old People, like me, may not be around to witness the destruction of our Nation. The rest of you may not survive the collapse. We all have the sworn duty to prevent it.
The light of hope burns brighter than the fires of doom.
Ha ha, as qualified as J.Lo, that is some funny stuff right thereSomebody Please, what the hell is that smell?
"The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'."
The views, opinions, stupid off the cuff comments, mouthy, obnoxious, thoughtless, etc etc etc are not always or even some of the time the belief of my department, so bugger off!
Awww, what a nice gift that would be for Sweet Caroline, even better than the pony her dad gave her!
That is ok, he could have said as qualified as Fran Dresner (from the television show The Nanny) she put her name in the running as well. Her voice may be an asset, if she complains or whines long enough they might just cave in to shut her up.
Kennedy does reside in NYC, not sure what qualifies her for the senate seat, her social activities include fund raising and nose rubbing with politicians. But then again doesn't take much to get into a NY Office, Hellery was experienced by injection.

My Sweet Lord
A six-feet-tall image of a nude crucified Jesus Christ created from 200 lbs of chocolate created controvesy in New York City this week. The sculpture, titled "Sweet Jesus" and created by artist Cosimo Cavallaro, was to be displayed at the Lab Gallery, located inside the mid-Manhattan Roger Smith Hotel. But protests from outraged Catholics, who were particulary upset the exhibition was to run during Holy Week, resulted in its cancellation.
You might remember that Cavalloro is the artist who stirred up a similar tempest in 1999 with his painting "The Holy Virgin Mary," which offended some Christians because its composition include a splash of elephant dung.
He also once covered Twiggy with melted cheese. Really, check it out at http://www.cosimocavallaro.com/main.htm
But here's my question for you:
Is this more offensive...
than this noncontroversial Easter treat?

Two editorials in today's Buffalo News Opinion section about good things happening locally. Don't worry, we'll be back to our normal grumpy selves in a day or two.
- It's a new day - Buffalo News Editorial
It wasn't that long ago that the idea of big-time investors competing for the right to lend the City of Buffalo millions of dollars—and offering rock-bottom interest rates to boot— would have been dismissed as a fantasy.
But this month the city felt confident enough in the attractiveness of its bond issues to offer them for sale on the open market. And city officials' faith—and their long efforts at fiscal reconstruction—were rewarded. ...
The larger of the two offerings, $22.7 million, was snapped up by J.P. Morgan Securities, in a bid that will force taxpayers to fork over only 3.63 percent interest. Morgan Stanley&Co. won the other contest, agreeing to charge interest of only 3.53 percent for the use of $4.9 million. ...
Democrat [Mayor Byron] Brown and Republican County Executive Chris Collins have kept their pencils sharp and, with the control boards [city and county] and the taxpayers looking over their shoulders, have made great strides toward fiscal stability in these parts.
There's more work to do. But the progress has been nothing short of amazing.
- City holds first bond auction since 1986 - Brian Meyer/The Buffalo News
[When I googled "city buffalo bond sale," the Google website asked me if I really meant, "city buffalo bone sale." Not this time.]
Revise and extend: We are reminded that, while we wanted to credit Mayor Brown, and the control board, for the city's fiscal improvement, it is not the mayor that sells bonds for the city. It is City Comptroller Andrew A. SanFilippo.
- AmeriCorps gets help - Buffalo News Editorial
It never made any sense that the Western New York educational program run by AmeriCorps was refused the funding it needed to continue providing hundreds of tutors to serve thousands of students.
Considering that all the available money from that pot went to the New York City area, it may have had a certain twisted political logic to it. But the cut-off would have done unforgivable harm to an effective program that attacks our pervasive poverty at its roots.
Thus it was wonderful news that came recently when Rep. Brian Higgins and WNY AmeriCorps CEO Mark P. Lazzara were able to announce that a new vein of federal money had been tapped to continue the program.
That means the AmeriCorps Builds Lives through Education — ABLE — program will live on with $2.3 million in federal funds that were allotted to New York to distribute.

Cardioversion is a method to restore an abnormal heart rhythm to normal.
Cardioversion can be done using an electric shock. It is also done using medicines.
This procedure may be done using a device that is placed inside (internal) or outside (external) the body.
External electric cardioversion uses a device called a defibrillator.
Emergency external electric cardioversion is used to treat any abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia
) that is life-threatening. The procedure can be life-saving.
External electric cardioversion may also be used when there is not an emergency.
An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
(ICD) is an internal device. It is usually placed under the skin of the upper chest or abdomen. Wires are attached that go into the heart.
Cardioversion can be done using drugs that are taken by mouth or given through an intravenous line (IV). It can take from several minutes to days for this treatment to work. If you are given drugs for cardioversion in a hospital, your heart rate will be regularly checked.
Cardioversion using drugs can be done outside the hospital. This is most often done for people with atrial fibrillation that comes and goes. However, you will need to be closely followed-up by a cardiologist.
As with electrical cardioversion, you may be given blood thinning medicines to prevent blood clots from forming. Clots that leave the heart can cause a stroke.
Complications of cardioversion are uncommon, but may include:
People who perform external cardioversion may be shocked if the procedure is not done correctly. This can cause heart rhythm problems, pain, and even death.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Four little letters are changing the way people are watching television: HDTV.
Sales are up and Super Bowl Sunday is a huge motivator.
High Definition Television is a digital format that delivers theater-quality images and CD-quality audio, according to the Federal Communications Commission.
A manager at an hhgregg store in Cool Springs said what makes the new technology's picture better is its lines of resolution. Standard television has 480 while high definition has 1,080.
An HDTV set can cost anywhere from $379 to $4,000.
But sales people said it's worth the price.
"It is wanting the best picture available, and when you see the high definition broadcast, and you look at that screen and it looks like you are there -- at that event or right there in the room when you're watching that TV show -- that's what it's all about," said Brad Sherk of hhgregg in Cool Springs.
Industry reports said HDTV sales in the U.S. more than doubled in 2006.
Experts said that's due to falling prices -- and more programming being made available in the "high def" format.
NewsChannel 5 is the first station in Tennessee to broadcast local news in high definition. The network's launch takes place Sunday right after the Super Bowl.

Bruce Dorminey, Contributor
I cover over-the-horizon technology, aerospace and astronomy.
The nearside of the Moon will never resemble your Granddad's back forty, but agriculture remains the key to living and working off-world. All the mineral ore in the solar system can't counter the fact that for extended periods on the Moon or Mars, future off-worlders will need bio-regenerative systems in order to prosper.
Here on earth, researchers still debate how best to make those possible, but nuclear-powered state of the art LED (Light-emitting Diode) technology is arguably what will drive photosynthesis so necessary to provide both food and oxygen for future lunar colonists.
Future long-term lunar residents will need to grow their food either in sub-lunar lava tubes or in greenhouses shielded with several meters of lunar surface regolith. With no atmosphere, the moon is regularly exposed to lethal doses of cosmic rays, solar coronal mass ejections and x-flares, not to mention micro-meteorites that would be enough to wreck anyone's corn.
Although during the two weeks that make up the long lunar day astronauts might be able to funnel refracted sunlight into covered greenhouses or subsurface lava tunnels, they will be left without a light source during the long lunar night.
Current solar-powered battery storage technology isn't adequate to sustain artificial light sources for two weeks at the time. Thus, the most practical solution is simply to use some sort of Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG), not unlike the one powering the current Mars Science lab, to power the LEDs that will spur photosynthesis in lunar greenhouses.
Cary Mitchell, a plant biologist at Purdue University, says that as lunar light sources, LEDs would be cool, solid state and robust; lasting 50,000 hours at least, or some five times longer than conventional horticultural light sources. He also notes that that they could survive the journey to the lunar surface where they could then be strung inside inflatable lava tunnel greenhouses or in radiation-hardened, solid greenhouses on the surface.
On earth, Mitchell says it takes roughly 50 square meters of agriculture to provide both food and oxygen life to support one human. But, as he points out, who can say how productive plants are ultimately going to be on the moon, in gravity that is only one sixth that of earth?
"Through photosynthesis, plants produce oxygen and also scavenge carbon dioxide out of the air," said Mitchell. "Light LEDs can provide the energy to drive all of that."
As for water?
Mitchell says if water can be generated onsite so much the better but, if not, it would need to be brought from earth and continually recycled.
If the polar cold traps have abundant volatiles, I can imagine extended human stays. As you mention in the last two paragraphs, cold traps can neighbor plateaus that enjoy nearly constant illumination. In my opinion the plateaus near Whipple Crater at the lunar north pole is somewhat better than the peaks near Shackleton.
But even if there are polar plateaus that enjoy constant illumination, the grazing angle makes for meager insolation per square meter. I think the nuclear powered LED is a good idea for the poles as well lower latitudes.
I am not sure that you REALLY need nuclear power. You can put solar panels at the terminator line, and throw as long superconducting cables as you want; the temperature is low enough :), and there is no wind, which can damage the transmission lines.
Another issue is radiation spectrum of LED, I am not sure that photosynthesis will be effective. I think though that resolving the LED spectrum issue is imminent.
First We need to build a "Space Elevator" to curb any payload costs.
You know, the number "Mitchell says it takes roughly 50 square meters of agriculture to provide both food and oxygen life to support one human" is very important.
Given the quality of science jounalism in the past few years, I'd like a definitive clarifying declaration as to whether this important number is in fact referring to "50 square meters" or "50 meters square".
The article seems to be a combination showcase of the use of LED in horticulture and promotion of this application as market area for RTG power sources.
I agree they are well matched in power/durability profiles; however I should like to point to the implied juxtapositioning of three major factors in this scenario:
a) sensitivity of plants to radioactive mutation,
b) the everpresent noise level of same in any exo-geomagnetospheric agricultural effort, and
c) the apparent difficulty humans have (with containment) at the implementation phase of (a large statistical sampling of) engineering efforts involving the use of long half life radioactive materials.
Certainly photovoltaic power storage systems will manage the phasing nature of solar energy at any given topographical location, lunar or otherwise, in the near future. (even without the laughably synchronistic events currently occuring on the International Space Station ATM with their MBSU-1, lol)
The reason I am pointing at this editorial skew is that the article begins with comparing current artificial AG lighting systems power consumptions to the application needs requirement (lunar farming) without adjoining clarifications about the MUCH lower power consumption of the LED implementation elsewhere discussed….. which quickly bring LED AG lighting into the implementation range of current electrical storage systems….

In Pennsylvania, women have the legal right to breastfeed in public. But just because it is a state law doesn't mean that all businesses are aware of the law or uphold it.
To ensure businesses don't infringe on a woman's right to breastfeed, many places—including Doylestown—are drafting ordinances to protect this right.
At a meeting on Monday, July 16, Doylestown Borough Council president Det Ansinn asked his colleagues to look into drafting an ordinance that would make it illegal for Doylestown businesses to infringe on a woman's right to breastfeed.
"We want to protect women who breastfeed their children in town," Ansinn said. "It's a public health issue. [Breastfeeding] is permitted by law, and we want to make sure that our businesses and public places are following the law."
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 45 states have laws specifically allowing women to breastfeed in any public or private location. Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware are among them.
In April, one northwestern city took those protections a step farther. The city of Seattle passed an ordinance making it illegal for a business to ask a mother to leave or to cover herself or the baby while feeding.
And the new federal healthcare legislation enacted protections for employees who need to pump breast milk for their babies. The new law requires that businesses and institutions provide "a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from co-workers and the public, which may be used by an employee to express breast milk."

Steven Powell must pay a $1.8 million judgment to two girls he secretly photographed in their bathroom despite his claim that the penalty was "excessive," a Pierce County Superior Court Judge ruled late Friday.
Powell, 63, had asked Pierce County Superior Court Judge Vicki Hogan to vacate the judgment. He represented himself in his court filings.
Hogan rejected his request, and declined to hear oral arguments from him and attorney Anne Bremner, who represented the girls.
Hogan found that written arguments from Powell and Bremner were sufficient to uphold the penalty. The judgment is intended to compensate the girls for counseling, medical care and suffering.
A jury in May 2012 convicted Powell of 14 counts of voyeurism. He is serving a 30-month sentence in prison.
Prosecutors said Powell used a camera set up in his bedroom to video record and photograph the girls, then 10 and 8, while they used a bathroom in an adjacent home.
"Both children experienced extreme trauma of unspeakable magnitude," their lawyers wrote in court records.
The girls and their mother sued Powell last year. At an August hearing, Hogan determined the girls' damages to be $1.8 million.
The former Puyallup-area resident now owes $1.9 million because of the interest that has accrued on the penalty since Hogan awarded it, according to an affidavit Bremner filed in Pierce County Superior Court on Wednesday. He has no assets to pay it, according to the document and his own statement appealing the judgment.
Bremner in court filings wrote that Powell did not offer a sound legal reason to overturn the financial judgment. Powell wrote that the penalty was "excessive" and "substantial justice has not been done."
Bremner countered that Powell's "motion to vacate instead focuses on his dissatisfaction with the outcome."
Steven Powell is the father of Joshua Powell and father-in-law of missing Utah mother Susan Cox Powell. Joshua Powell killed his two sons last year in Pierce County by striking the boys with a hatchet and then setting his house on fire with them and him in it.

Bizarre: LBJ Orders Pants in Secret Recording
- By Mark Micheli
- May 3, 2013
- Leave a comment
It's always refreshing to run across leaders who know exactly what they want. But this…this might be a little too specific. It's Friday, so here's your reward for making it through the week: A bizarre animated short set to a very real recording of our 36th president, Lyndon Baines Johnson, ordering himself up a new pair of "slacks."
Why some of these presidents were so fond of recording their conversations we'll never know, but we certainly thank them for it. Warning: Prepare for some very specific, some might say graphic, language with respect to LBJ's crotch…though that shouldn't be a surprise, given his well documented reputation for being a bit crude.
Without further ado, we present "LBJ Orders Pants."
Does this surprise you given your memories of LBJ?

Mega Man 9 Screens, Details Emergeby Aaron Linde, Jul 03, 2008 11:09am PDT
Several new screens and details of Capcom's Mega Man 9 (Wii) were revealed on GamesRadar, showing off series creator Keiji Inafune's 8-bit downloadable sequel.
"For the first time in many years, we are developing an 8-bit game," said Inafune. "This opportunity has awoken my spirit as a game designer. I've stepped closer to the designing team to get more hands-on with the graphics and game design. I've been more involved in the actual creation process this time, and even designed the bosses!"
In addition to several items appearing in previous NES Mega Man titles, Mega Man 9 will also include a shop where players can buy items such as new armor, spike shoes that protect against one-hit kills, and energy balancers.
The game is slated for a September release in Japan, according to Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu. A North American localization is likely to follow soon thereafter.

Current date/time is Fri Aug 01, 2014 3:48 am
Over 5 years ago, totse2 was created here at totse2.darkbb.com to honor the spirit of totse and continue the ideas of free thinking and free speech. The community grew, and so did the site, and we moved from what was known as totse2.net to totse2.com with a more robust forum application. As time progressed, so did the community.
However, in October 2013, a series of events led to the abrupt closure of totse2.com and we found ourselves, once again, as refugees. Totse2.darkbb.com was here to help with the fallout, but it was not a permanent solution. Totse2 has been left in shambles, until a more permanent solution was enacted.
In order to preserve and honor our legacy, totse2 as it exists on totse2.darkbb.com has been closed as of Thursday, May 22nd, 2014. This forum will be subsequently deleted a short time after closure. I see no reason to continue operations of this particular site because the legacy has achieved a greater actualization than the capabilities and economical state of this site. The domains of totse2.com and totse2.net will still be in use, but they will remain in a state of incapacitation until further notice.
Until a time of restoration, if there is any, I highly suggest that you pack your bags and head to a new sanctuary within the temple of knowledge. Arnox, a longstanding member of the community and moderator of totse2, has created a fantastic successor for the legacy, which can be found at intosanctuary.com. I highly suggest that you consider this as an option for your exploration as it upholds the standards and values of totse and totse2 and The Sanctuary shows promise as a solution into the future.
Thank you all for what you have done for totse2. It has been an incredible experience for me personally. This is not goodbye. Rather, I will see you on the other side.
With deepest regards,
Idiosyncrasy (Idio)

Domestic dispute leads to mud, manure slingingStaff Report | December 12,2012WEST HAVEN — A romantic dispute between two women on a dairy farm on Route 22A left one woman's minivan full of mud and manure and the other charged with a pair of misdemeanor criminal offenses, according to Vermont State Police.
State Police were called to a barn at 2474 Route 22A Tuesday afternoon for a reported fight.
At the farm, Jessica Drake told police she was shoved head-first into a pipe by Laura Richards, 39, and later left the barn to find the seats, dashboard and other interiors of her minivan filled with mud and manure.
Drake said Richards accused her of having an affair with her husband during the confrontation which other workers at the farm say they witnessed, according to a police affidavit.
Richards was arrested and charged with simple assault and unlawful mischief. She pleaded innocent to those charges on Wednesday and was released on court-ordered conditions.MORE IN This Just InTOMORROW'S HEADLINES TODAY: Josh O'Gorman reports on the impact of state budget cuts on state colleges, Rutland Town welcomes Donna Zeller as town clerk, Bryanna Allen in Killington for chili cookoff and Haley talks up big Shrine game with N.H. and Vt. 0Rutland Herald News Editor Alan J.

Meet and Get A New SilverLine Plugin For Rails.
Meet The New "SilverLine" Ruby On Rails Plugin.
Silverline is a Ruby on Rails plug-in which gives the ability to run Ruby in the browser to manipulate HTML, vector graphics, or just do some computation.
Bottom line: it let's you write Rails code that can run on the client.
More Details and Demo here:-
website: http://schementi.com/silverline
Download from GitHub:-
How its possible:-
This is all possible because of Silverlight, the 4 megabyte download of the .NET Framework, and IronRuby, the implementation of Ruby on .NET and the Dynamic Language Runtime.
Silverline lets you do anything you can do in Silverlight with IronRuby, but it's a first-class part of your Rails application, and makes things a whole lot easier.
Now… Get Going with this Plugin.
Great IronRuby News from Oscon 2008. Cheer Up.
Here are some great news just announced by Mr. John Lam after his session at Oscon 2008.
Welcome to InronRuby – Contrib on GitHub.
Ironuby Team announces new project: ironruby-contrib. It's hosted at GitHub, an awesome place to do collaborative development.
The goal of ironruby-contrib is to provide a place where folks from the community can participate in projects that enhance IronRuby or its underlying platforms.
"Rails Plugin" as First IronRuby Contrib Project:-
The first project in IronRuby-Contrib is the Rails Plugin that was demonstrated at RailsConf this year. It makes it easier for Rails developers to add Silverlight to their Rails applications, and contains some of their ideas about migrating controller code to the client. Jimmy Schementi is the brains behind the project.
First Binary Release:-
Its here:- http://rubyforge.org/projects/ironruby.
This takes a big step closer towards " IronRuby Runs Real Ruby Programs"
RubySpec Contribution:-
IronRuby Team submitted a first set o changes to awesome " RubySpec Project ".
That takes them a big step closer towards being an active participant in all things Open Source, and not just the things that the team creates.

Extending Rails: Understanding and Building Plugins
8:30am Monday, 07/21/2008
Location: D137/138
Speaker:- Clinton R. Nixon (Viget Labs)
Ruby on Rails has made web development easier than ever, but there is a hurdle that comes with that convenience. When you want Rails to work differently, what do you change? We'll walk through the architecture of Rails, the top plugins already in existence, and learn how to radically change the behavior of Rails and of others' plugins.
Advanced ActiveRecord
8:30am Monday, 07/21/2008
Location: E143/144
Speaker:- Gregg Pollack (Rails Envy), Jason Seifer (Rails Envy)
ActiveRecord, the glue between the database and Rails, is certainly one of the bigger reasons Rails has impressed so many people. We will walk through some advanced uses of the ActiveRecord Gem, including polymorphism, association proxies, the law of demeter, conductors, and creating plugins. Even if you're not a Ruby or Rails programmer, you'll find some useful design patterns hidden in this Gem.
An Introduction to Ruby Web Frameworks
10:45am Wednesday, 07/23/2008
Location: F151
Speaker:- Ryan Briones (The Edgecase)
An overview of a few Ruby Web Frameworks, including basic usage and how to pragmatically choose which one to use, and how Ruby makes them special.

What Has Ruby Done for You Lately?
11:35am Wednesday, 07/23/2008
Location: F151
Speaker:- Adam Keys (The Real Adam)
Ruby has lots of neat features for writing small, beautiful programs. But, borrowing features from other languages makes it even better! Learn how continuations, pattern matching, and actor-based concurrency can help you write Ruby programs that do more with less code.
Controlling Electronics with Ruby
1:45pm Wednesday, 07/23/2008
Location: F151
Speaker:- Ben Bleything (Bleything Consulting)
It used to be that in order to program a microcontroller, you had to get down and dirty with assembly or, if you were really lucky, C. No longer. I'll show a number of ways that you can control embedded devices from your beloved Ruby.
Real-time Computer Vision with Ruby
2:35pm Wednesday, 07/23/2008
Location: F151
Speaker:- Jan Wedekind (Sheffield Hallam University)
Computer vision software requires image- and video-file-I/O as well as camera access and fast video display. Ruby and existing open source software allowed us to develop a machine vision library combining performance and flexibility in an unprecedented way. Native array operations are used to implement a variety of machine vision algorithms. This research was funded by the Nanorobotics grant.

Ruby 1.9: What to Expect
1:45pm Thursday, 07/24/2008
Location: Portland 251
Speaker:- Sam Ruby (IBM)
Ruby 1.9.0 came out in December, but it will be a while before it is stable and major packages have been ported to it. In addition to new features, there are a number of small backwards incompatible changes that have been made, but it generally is possible to create code that works on both 1.8 and 1.9. This talk will cover the changes that are most likely to impact you.
Who Wants a Faster Ruby?
2:35pm Thursday, 07/24/2008
Location: F151

Download the Free IronEditor for IronRuby, IronPython and DLR Languages
Announcing IronEditor – An Editor for IronRuby, IronPython and other DLR languages
I welcome IronEditor, a simple application designed to make it easier to pick up and start coding against the DLR based languages. By taking advantage of the DLR's Hosting API, the application can execute code for any language built on top of the DLR platform.
More Information, source code and download on CodePlex:-
Build: 188.8.131.52 :- July 19th 2008
Out of the box, the application works with IronRuby and IronPython, however one of the main aims of the application is to allow other languages to be easily embedded into the application.
The aim of the application is to provide a very lightweight way to edit and execute code, great while learning the languages and giving demos (I used this application for my NxtGenUG Oxford DLR session).
One of the items I'm really pleased about is the fact that the application works on Mono (Tested only on Ubuntu 8.04 and Mono 1.9.1), something which will definitely not be possible with the Visual Studio integration.
To run the application, you will need to ensure you have Mono installed on your machine.

Crumlin scrapyard one-armed robber has jail term doubled
5:20pm Wednesday 28th November 2012 in Gwent news
A ONE-ARMED robber who stole £10,000 from a Crumlin scrapyard has had his jail term almost doubled after the Attorney General challenged his "unduly lenient" sentence.
David John Adams, 44, of no fixed abode, was jailed for a total of six years and 8 months at Newport Crown Court in September after he admitted robbery and possession of an imitation firearm.
Martin Tuft, 55, of Glebe Street, Newport - who was not present during the raid but helped plan it - was jailed for 5 years and 10 months after he admitted robbery.
Today top judges at London's Court of Appeal allowed a challenge by Attorney General, Dominic Grieve QC - and increased both men's sentences to 12 years.
Lady Justice Rafferty said Adams had planned to steal money from the cash office at the recycling plant, on the Pan-y-Fan industrial estate, in Crumlin to pay off drug debts.
At about 8.30am, on March 12, he and another man walked into the yard wearing balaclavas and high-visibility jackets, each pulling what appeared to be shotguns from a plastic bag. The staff were ordered onto the ground.
The men escaped with £10,000, after destroying the yard's telephone line and staff's mobile phones. The money and imitation firearms were never recovered.
The judge said Tuft had scoped out the yard with Adams before the robbery, but had backed out of the heist as he did not like the look of the scrap yard's security.
She concluded: "The sentences were too low. We see no reason to distinguish between these two men. We think this is a case where the appropriate sentences should have been, and now are, 12 years."
