Hartford — Chris Murphy took the oath of office on Thursday to become Connecticut's newest U.S. senator, replacing the retiring Joe Lieberman.
In Washington, Murphy was escorted down the center aisle of the Senate by fellow Democrat, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, to take the oath from Vice President Joe Biden. He later signed the Senate's Oath Book, which contains the names of all senators.
Murphy told The Associated Press in a phone interview before the ceremony that he was thrilled to walk with Blumenthal.
"Not only was he a big part of helping me get to this day, but I'm part of a generation of public servants in Connecticut who looked up to the example that Blumenthal set," Murphy said. "It's a real honor for me to be able to get sworn in today to represent the people of the state, but also do it next to somebody I've looked up to for a long time, Dick Blumenthal."
The 39-year-old Murphy will be the youngest member of the Senate. He and his wife, Cathy, have two young sons. They were expected to be on hand for a ceremonial swearing-in later in the day where pictures are allowed to be taken.
Murphy, the former 5th District congressman, defeated Republican Linda McMahon in November. McMahon had run against Blumenthal two years ago and lost that race as well. The former wrestling executive spent a total of about $100 million of her own money on the two races combined.
Murphy was expected to sit at Lieberman's desk in the Senate for the opening day of the session. But his desk will be moved elsewhere in the Senate based on his seniority. Murphy said he expects he will be ranked 91st or 92nd out of 100 senators. His time served in the U.S. House of Representatives will be counted toward his ranking in the Senate.

Betting on Deep Impact's... Impact
On the 4th of July, NASA successfully arranged for a probe to get in the way of a comet. The collision produced a huge cloud of debris and reams of data for scientists to study. They now know more about the makeup of comets.
But one office pool among the scientists remains unresolved: What did the resulting crater look like?

Immigration, Search and Lost of Skill
This paper analyzes the process of entry into the Israeli labor market among a panel of highly skilled immigrants who moved from the former USSR to Israel. We estimate a nonstationary, finite horizon search model with exogenous wage growth that is capable of capturing the main features of this process; a speedy entry into the labor force, an initial phase of work at low skill occupations, a gradual occupational upgrading and a sharp increase in wages. The estimated parameters of the model, together with information on the wages of immigrants from earlier waves, allow us to predict an occupational path and associated wages, for each new immigrant, from the time of arrival until retirement.

Study Looks at Emotion's Role in Chemotherapy Tolerance
How patients perceive and talk about their illnesses can have an impact on how they recover and heal, according to a growing area of health research being furthered by UC Merced health psychology Professor Jitske Tiemensma.
"It should be a team effort to treat a patient. Medical doctors often have no idea about the psychological consequences of disease," she said. "It's really important for them to have close ties to health psychologists."

American Red Cross to offer pool-safety course
Published: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 at 11:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 at 8:59 a.m.
THIBODAUX — Home pool owners and apartment pool users can learn how to keep themselves and guests safe around the water through an American Red Cross course offered this week.
The Red Cross presents its Home Pool Safety Course scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the organization's Thibodaux office, 1233 Canal Blvd.
Admission is free and open to the public. RSVP for the course by calling 447-3229.
"It's trying to ensure that our community is as safe as possible and preventing any accidents that we can prevent," said Rebekah Cain, public-relations and communications coordinator for the southeast Louisiana chapter of the American Red Cross.
The southeast Louisiana chapter, which includes Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, is offering this course and other activities in honor of Red Cross Month.
The pool-safety course aims to teach those with pools at their homes, including apartment complexes, steps they can take to prevent accidents in or around the water.
The course focuses on "simple rules we take for granted if we go to a public pool," said Mary Bordelon, aquatics coordinator for the southeast Louisiana chapter of the Red Cross.
People tend to be aware of safety at public pools, where signs remind them of rules and lifeguards are on hand, but homeowners and apartment renters need to think about safety as well, Cain added.
"Sometimes, people just don't think about it," she said.
The course includes information on items to keep around the pool, such as poles and flotation devices, and demonstrations on how to use these tools to help distressed swimmers. Participants will practice basic rescue techniques including reaching, throwing and wading assists, according to officials with the local Red Cross.
The session also covers topics like how to secure pools from small children, forming an emergency plan and having someone in the home certified in CPR. Participants leave with pool-safety checklists in hand.
Southeast Louisiana staff hope to encourage water safety in this area "since we're surrounded by water and so many people have pools," said Bordelon, who will present the class in Thibodaux.
The Red Cross plans to offer another Home Pool Safety Course at 6:30 p.m. March 24 at the organization's office in Luling, 107 Maryland Drive.
The course arrives just as the weather warms and more locals start heading to the water.
"With the start of the season, we're anxious to get the word out," Bordelon said.
The course is free, but a Water Safety Handbook will be available for $5 following the presentation.
For information on the southeast Louisiana chapter, visit www.arcno.org or www.facebook.com/RedCrossSELA.

As Starbucks and organic food stores pop up all around it in UpTown Chicago, Arthur Przybyszewski continues to run the small rundown donut shop set up by his Polish immigrant father. Neglected by its owner and damaged by vandals, Superior Donuts only survives thanks to a diverse group of loyal neighbourhood customers. But when Arthur hires an excitable romantic, Franco Wicks, who wants to change the shop for the better to work alongside him, he is forced to confront the modern reality of the American Dream. A drama about the challenges of embracing the past and the redemptive power of friendship, Superior Donuts brings to life the eclectic characters and changing face of a busy Chicago neighbourhood.

Special Order
In this sardonic portrait of the up-and-coming middle class during America's most prosperous decade before the Great Depression, Sinclair Lewis perfectly captures the sound, the feel, and the attitudes of the generation that created the cult of consumer materialism that we all take for granted today. With a sharp eye for detail and keen powers of observation, Lewis tracks George Babbitt's daily struggles to rise to the top of his profession while maintaining his reputation as an upstanding family man.
But beneath the complacent fatade Lewis also reveals a confused interior Babbitt who is experiencing a rising, nameless discontent. His wife bores him, his children get on his nerves, his cronies at the club suddenly strike him as shallow, and for all of his success he can't shake the feeling that the sum of his life amounts to little more than a hollow shell. These feelings eventually lead Babbitt into risky escapades that threaten his family and his standing in the community.
Though published eighty years ago, this acerbic depiction of majority Americans, obsessed with success, material comfort, and mid-life doubt, still rings true. Lewis's enduring portrait remains a discomfiting reminder that there is a little of George Babbitt in all of us.
About the Author
Nobel Prize-winning writer Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) is best known for novels like Main Street, Babbitt, Arrowsmith (for which he was awarded but declined the Pulitzer Prize), and Elmer Gantry. A writer from his youth, Lewis wrote for and edited the Yale Literary Magazine while a student, and started his literary career writing popular stories for magazines and selling plots to other writers like Jack London. Lewis s talent for description and creating unique characters won him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930, making him the first American writer to win the prestigious award. Considered to be one of the greats of American literature, Lewis was honoured with a Great Americans series postage stamp, and his work has been adapted for both stage and screen.

Abstract"In general, time-critical decision processes require advanced data fusion techniques and innovative visualization capabilities to support the decision making process. It is our position, however, that systems involving complex environments, such as thecockpit of a tactical aircraft, require much more. For systems such as these, the data fusion capability must be fully integrated with an advanced decision optimization capacity in order to present the pilot with the essential, prioritized elements ofeach decision process. Furthermore, the pilot needs an indication of the uncertainty of the data and the confidence in the recommended courses of action. The objective of this research is to demonstrate the combination of Bayesian Network technology,decision theory, and new tools for dynamically constructing large-scale networks, to provide an advanced decision support capability that meets these needs. We will demonstrate the feasibility of this concept by developing a prototype decision supportsystem for dynamic, in-flight, mission planning. This prototype will continually fuse multi-source data, while also providing the pilot with mission plan alternatives that evolve as the combat situation evolves. Additionally, we will leverage ongoingresearch with techniques for cockpit visualization of uncertain data to formulate an approach for Phase II development of a visualization prototype. This background research will greatly facilit

Shots For Signatures
I sometimes wonder what the market value of a vote would be if you were allowed to buy and sell them on an open marketplace. Amanda Terkel's report on allegations of fraud in the effort to garner recall petitions against Democratic State Senators in Wisconsin gives us perhaps a window into the issue:
According to a draft of the Democratic complaint to the GAB, obtained by The Huffington Post from a Democratic source, a woman who was at John's Main Event, a tavern in Burlington, Wis., with her friends on Feb. 27, "heard that someone was providing 'shots' to people if they signed a petition to recall State Senator Robert Wirch," a Democrat.
The woman, who signed the complaint, said a bartender showed her the recall petition and told her that if she signed it, she and her friends would get free shots.
The source also passed along an audio recording of the encounter, in which the woman says, "So you're going to get us — one, two, three, four, five shots if we sign this?" A man responds, "That's right. … I'll buy them."
According to Yelp, John's is "Great for a casual beer-and-burger dinner" and features "a good variety of micro-brews" but no word on the ordinary retail price of a shot. According to a book I recently read about George Washington, bribing the electorate with free alcohol was considered par for the course in colonial Virginia.

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
Every day this year, I will be examining the first pages of random comics. Today's page is from The Weird #1, which was published by DC and is cover dated April 1988. Enjoy!
Every creator has pet characters, I would imagine, and perhaps only Chris Claremont is more likely to use a pet character no matter what he/she writes than Jim Starlin, as evidenced by the Weird, who shows up in this fairly obscure mini-series and then returns 20 years later, when Jim Starlin was writing for DC again. Starlin does this a lot, but that's okay – he can do it if he wants to!
The Weird is, well, a weird comic. Starlin teams up with Bernie Wrightson, and you'd think two excellent and legendary creators like them would produce something that's held in a bit higher esteem. That's not to say The Weird is bad, it's just not terribly acclaimed. It looks great, naturally, and although Starlin is probably a better artist than writer, he's still a pretty good writer, so this is an interesting little series. But none of that matters – it's a splash page!
I don't know if Starlin, Wrightson, or Klein came up with the title lettering, but it's pretty mod, innit? It's very "late 1980s" in that it could easily show up on a Ratt album. Then we get Wrightson's brooding Superman, standing on the rooftop in the rain, his left leg propped up on a ledge so that he can drape his arm across his knee, making him even broodier. Klein/Wrightson's caption boxes move us from the top left to the bottom right and over the image of Supes, so it's a nice design. Starlin tells us who he is – in case you didn't know – and where he is, and that his expectations for the night are way off. It's not much, but it does set the mood for the book, because the Weird himself is so weird. Down in the lower right, Karen Berger lets us know when this book takes place, which is handy – it's before the new Justice League went international and lost some of the members we'll find in this comic, so it explains why they're here. That was always nice to know back when footnotes weren't so taboo in comics.
It's a nice drawing by Wrightson, although I'm puzzled by one thing: the wind. The rain is leading our eyes from top left to bottom right, and it seems pretty steady, implying that the wind is steady. Yet Superman's cape billows out to his right, against the wind. Now, this makes sense to a degree – the rain is leading our eyes, while the cape makes Superman's brooding all the more dramatic, and it's easier to draw the cape than to fill in all the windows behind the cape were it not billowing. But it's still counter-intuitive – Superman's cape shouldn't be blowing that way, it should be blowing to his left or at least hanging down. That's not dramatic enough, though!
Despite that, it's still a beautiful drawing. The Wrightsons – Bernie and Michele – light Superman from below and to the right (from the windows in the building opposite him and the street below), and it gives him a very nice pensive look. The spectral light of the night – presumably from lightning and city ambient light – tinges the top of his head and his cape with a blue, spooky hue, contrasting with the bright colors of his costume. Wrightson gives us a good sense of Superman's power, even though he's not doing anything – we see his muscles and we can sense his strength, but that's more based on hints by Wrightson and his posing. Dan Green doesn't use heavy inks all over Superman, so the cape, for instance, looks a little less substantial in places, making Superman a bit more ghostly than usual. It's a nicely inked page – Green lends some strength to Superman's physique, but he also is able to make the drawing more delicate than we might expect.
This page doesn't allow either creator to show off too much, but if it piques your interest, I suggest hunting it down. I think DC released it in trade, but I can't imagine the single issues are too expensive. It's Starlin and Wrightson, for crying out loud! How can it not be good?
Next: One of those recent, highly-regarded comics that never stood a chance. So sad! But we can check it out, right? Find more highly-regarded comics that never stood a chance in the archives!
i always liked the Weird, but it is a bit quirky so that may be why it isn't more highly regarded. Also, the Weird looks….well…weird, so he was never going to be iconic no matter what.
What i want to know is the backstory of how & who came up with this story.
The cape billowing up on the edge of the building makes sense if there's an updraft coming up the side of the building from the wind blowing against it, as that tends to be stronger than the wind itself if the building face is taking the full force of the breeze without a building in between. You can see stuff like tarps and flags blowing like that, sometimes. the other side of the cape, being on the roof, is in the lee/wind shadow of the building edge and Supes' body.
I wonder if that not entirely obvious effect was deliberately done to cause a double-take?
danjack: I imagine Starlin just thought of it, because he dug all that weird stuff. You're right, though – the character's look tended to work against him.
Basara: Good point about the updraft. I hadn't thought of that. I think that Wrightson, being a good artist, had probably studied stuff like that and knew that the cape would billow even if the wind above Superman wasn't necessarily blowing it up.
One of the 3 double cover comics I own. Double covers on floppies were awesome! In 7th grade, it was like finding a gold mine. Do printing errors like that still happen these days?
I remember being fascinated by the house ad for this series, but I never got around to actually reading it until earlier this year. It is definitely a very…weird comic, but given how highly regarded Jim Starlin was at the time with DC, I could see them letting him take the then super-popular JLI out for a stroll to show off his new character. I did like it, though, as I have many of DC's "throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks" projects from that period of roughly 1987-1989…
I thought I read that this got collected in a trade that collected the more recent Mystery in Space stuff Starlin did.
I too dug that house ad for this, but I've never seen the issues, I don't think.
Yep, DC tacked this onto the second "Mystery In Space" trade collecting Starlin's mini. He managed to bring back The Weird for that mini-series, so I guess it made sense to include it, though I would rather it got its own trade. Starlin might not be the star he once was, but Wrightson's name is still a pretty big draw for some people, and heck, just call it "Justice League: The Weird" or something like that, and it would probably do just fine…
I wonder if this not getting its own trade is related to the problems with other DC late '80s stuff not getting traded, where creators had fairly sweet royalty deals, so it's not financially viable (they say) to reprint them on their own, but as part of that other trade, since it's not the "main" book reprinted, it doesn't cost as much/some fuzzy math accounting is brought to bear. Just spitballin'.

Join www.scrapbook.com Great message board with people always willing to help, gallery, resource area (with tips, quotes, poems, etc). Warning: it is addicting and you might spend more time there than scrapping!
Big Lots, Dollar General are great places to get cheap scrapbook supplies. You will find stuff in a scrapping section and in the stationary aisle, and sometimes in speciality aisles.
Dollar Tree has GREAT STUFF. Paper, accents, etc. But one of the fav things they have is double side tape runners.....and now they have different types. Just as good as what is at the other stores but way way way cheaper and I actually like these better!
Check out WWal-Mart's craftsection OFTEN. A lot of times they will have clearances and be sure to walk around the craft area.....not everything you can use in scrapbooks is in the scrap area! Examples: ribbons, speciality yarn, artificial flowers (remove stem and use brads to hold to page), rrub-onsin the craft paint section, the craft paint itself, etc. Just be sure to use acid free items! Also wonder around the Dollar Tree for these type items too.
Watch for 40% coupons for JoJoann'snd Michaels. Joanns is kinda expensive but sometimes you can get decent (not great) clearances there but most of the time their clearances are even expensive unless they a re doing a percentage off the clearance. Michaels has dollar bins in the aisles and near the front where you can find great stuff too. I very rarely buy anything retail at Michaels but instead wait for larger purchases (you know...anything over $5!) for when they have coupons, which is generally every two weeks (every week in holiday season usually). Oh, and check out their clearance aisle!
Every now and then you can find decent buys in office supply stores.
Don't buy your double sided tape or even single sided in the scrapbook area. You will pay twice as much for half as much. If you don't buy it at Dollar Tree.....go to stationary section of Wal-Mart. Buy Scotch or Duck Brand (has a little duck on it) double sided tape (be sure it says acid free or photo safe...not all Scotch is). You can buy the single sided duck brand tape in the little holder, but I have yet to find a scotch brand single side that is acid free. You mainly use single side when taping the undersides of things you are making, pics to mats, etc.

I'm using the mymail plugin to generate newsletters and would like to send them via mailgun. Mymail has options to deliver via sendmail and php's mail() function — which it appears that mailgun doesn't hook into, I'm assuming it grabs wpmail (haven't started digging into the plugin's code yet).
Any chance of an option to redirect the php mail() function?

The lineup is a Who's Who of local indie-rock, alt-country, Americana and tribute acts... Saturday, July 10: Family Street Dance with: Cherry Cherry (a 10-piece Neil Diamond tribute band); and All Mixed Up (a Cars tribute band)"

Unfortunately, the loose flakes after the second bolt broke free today - my partner fell to the ground and sustained serious injuries.
I believe some of these rocks were "glued".
The route has changed considerably between the second and fourth bolts (as seen in the photo). The third bolt identified in the photo was not found. Use caution.

|Some of the flakes to the left that you'd want to undercling between the first and second bolts are loose. I should have marked them. A brush would be helpful--still kind of dirty (due to being newer and/or recent rainfall).

|I went lower with my feet in the seam near the bottom of the beta picture and my hands near the bolt line. It's a pretty solid way to do it but not as secure as going up with the underclings I would imagine. There is also a glued in bridge between the third and fourth bolt that should probably not be stepped on.

|Some holds seem to be glued on. I didn't really like this route for two reasons. 1st, the holds felt fragile, someday some belayer is gonna get a rock on their head and someone is gonna take a nice lil whipper. 2nd, the wrap station is awkwardly placed on the lip of a rock over hanging the route. Is a little bit of a reach if you're short. It also seems fragile, it's just not a good placement.

I'm the person who was hurt on April 23. Guy Dadson, who commented a few days ago, was my climbing partner. We've compared notes a little more now, and I think I can put together a more accurate description of what was going on.
First, I think the third bolt is now missing. Possibly whatever it was attached to has now fallen off. After the second bolt, I noticed that there was quite a long run-out to what I thought was the third bolt. I spent some time looking for another bolt, and couldn't find one, so I just went ahead and ran it out.
Second, there was a glued hold right below what I now know is the fourth bolt. It was a toaster-sized rock glued into a crevice. It had chalk on it, and using it seemed to be the only way to make the climb go at 5.7. I pounded on it, and it seemed solid, so I went ahead and put my full body weight on it, and it came off.
With hindsight, I wish I had looked at this page rather than the guidebook. This comment by The Billy Goat in January was a nearly perfect prediction of what happened to me: "Some holds seem to be glued on. I didn't really like this route for two reasons. 1st, the holds felt fragile, someday some belayer is gonna get a rock on their head and someone is gonna take a nice lil whipper."
I suppose I'm biased, but I rated this route as a bomb due to the loose rock and unreliable glued holds.

It was my second time staying with Gerta and it was awesome. Anytime I'm in Boston I will staying at her place.
Location: Good location, bus and subway access. You get off at Orient Heights subway station and take the 712 bus to arrive at her place. Taking public transit would take about 30 mins to get into Boston downtown core.
Cleanliness: When I entered the home it was very clean. The room and washroom were spotless. I had no concerns in this category.
Host: Gerta is a very polite and well-mannered host. When I entered her home she gave me a tour and explained her house rules. I contacted her a week before my stay and she answered all my questions in a timely matter.
Price: I was a solo traveller on a budget and staying here saved me so much money. Good service for your hard earned dollars. The next time I go to Boston I will coming back here.
Gerta is really a friendly and helpfull person, we stayed only 1 night. The room was clean and nice.
We really enjoyed our stay in Winthrop! Everyone we met in Winthrop was welcoming! Gerta was a really good host and suggested a couple of things to do and good places to eat (Café Rosetti is a must!). Her house and rooms are beautiful, within walking distance of the beach, liquor and convenience stores. Thank you!
Nice accommodation near the city. You can come and go as you need.
We were there for two nights, had our own room, slept really well!
Gerta is a wonderful host. The house was clean and so cute! It's really the best of both world : The metro to get to Boston is 5 minutes (10 minutes in the metro and you're downtown Boston) in car distance from the house and you just have to walk 2-3 minutes to get to the sea and walk on the beach! A grocery store, a pizzeria and a cafe are also at near walking distance. I can recommand this host and her room enough!
It was a very beautiful place in a nice neighborhood. We had a lot of fun in Boston!
We really enjoyed our stay at Gerta's in Winthrop. The room was spacious and we had everything we needed. The house is close to the beach, local grocery stores and the subway so it was easy to get to Boston.

Iowa Corn members as well as directors of the Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA) convened in a particularly quiet Washington, D.C. this week as part of the National Corn Congress. This was due to Congress being on recess and the Republican National Convention – many of the Iowa delegation were not available for meetings.

Carla Bruni Sarkozy Gives Birth To Baby Girl
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, wife of French President Nicholas Sarkozy, has given birth to a baby girl, according to reports.
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, wife of French President Nicholas Sarkozy, has given birth to a baby girl, according to reports.
Nicholas Sarkozy is making bizarre claims that "Anglo-Saxon financiers" are spreading rumors about his infidelity to destroy France, but the really unusual thing about the scandal is Carla Bruni's role in it.
Former French Justice Minister Rachida Dati may have been spreading nasty rumors about Nicholas Sarkozy's marriage to Carla Bruni. So Sarkozy took away her bodyguards, and her cell phone. Yes, France is apparently governed by eight-year-olds.
If we could go to Nicholas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni's awesomely French personal trainer, we might actually exercise. Or at least smoke and listen to her talk!

Stuck in a dead-end job working for his eccentric sometimes girlfriend Phlox, and forced into an endless series of airless dinners with his mobster father, Art begins to believe that perhaps he doesn't even exist at all. What begins as a mundane summer is quickly interrupted when he encounters a beautiful debutante and her lusty, no good hoodlum of a boyfriend Cleveland. Together they reveal a side of Art and Pittsburgh that he has never known. As the summer boils on and their adventures darken, Art decides to risk everything to preserve his new-found paradise, and thrusts himself headlong into the blurring boundaries of family, friendship and love.

11. The calf warming device of claim 9 further comprising the step of heating the calf via a heat lamp disposed through an opening in the roof member.
[0001]This invention relates to warming animals. More specifically, this invention relates to a device for warming a newborn calf.
[0002]When newly born calves are born in the winter often times the mother cow is unable to keep the calf sufficiently warm causing the calf to die. As a result, calf warming devices have been made where, upon the birth of a calf, the calf is placed within the calf warming device to keep warm during the initial hours of its life until the calf is able to survive in the outside environment.
[0003]Many problems are associated with these calf warming machines. For example, these calf warming machines have a two-step process for warming the calf, the first of which involves drying the calf. However, drying a calf is unsatisfactory because to dry the calf air must be blown onto the calf and this blowing air actually cools and consequently endangers the calf.
[0004]Another problem associated with calf warming machines is that when the calf is placed in the device the mother cow can neither see nor smell the calf such that when the calf finally emerges from the calf warming device the mother cow will not recognize the calf as its own. Therefore, the mother cow will refuse to feed and take care of the calf as its own. Another problem is that these machines are difficult and time consuming to clean. This limits the amount of calves that can be attended to by veterinarians using the machine.
[0005]An additional problem exists in that calf warming devices and power sources are not portable. Specifically, often a mother cow will not be willing to move from the spot where her water breaks to nurse and tend to the baby calf. As a result there is a need to have a calf warming machine that can be transported to the place the mother cow's water breaks.
[0006]Therefore, it is a principal object of the present invention to provide a calf warming device that improves efficiency in warming a calf.
[0007]Another object of the present invention is to provide a calf heating device that will allow a mother cow to form a bond with their newly born calf.
[0008]These and other objects, features or advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the specification and claims.
[0009]A calf warming device for warming a newborn calf has a housing with a base, sidewalls extending from the base, a door hingedly attached to a sidewall and a roof member. Thus, when the door is in a closed position the housing forms a cavity that is of size and shape to house a calf. Additionally, the base member has a heated surface that a calf may lay on for warming. The calf warming device additionally has at least one opening disposed through the housing that is of size and shape to accommodate a nose of a mother cow thus allowing the mother cow to smell her calf during the warming process while the door is in a closed position.
[0010]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a calf warming device with a door in an open position;
[0011]FIG. 2 is a side view of a calf warming device with a door in a closed position; and
[0012]FIG. 3 is an end view of a calf warming device.
[0013]FIGS. 1 and 2 show a calf warming device 10 that allows the warming of a calf while also allowing a mother cow access to the baby calf for bonding. Specifically, the calf warming device 10 has a housing 16 having a base 18, a plurality of side walls 20 extending from the base 18, a door 22 hingedly connected to a sidewall 20 having a tapered portion 20A, straight portion 20B and a roof member 24. By having an angled sidewall easier access for the calf is provided along with a reduction in the volume of air to be heated. The door 22 in a preferred embodiment fits within a formed area recess in the housing to provide a more rigid structure wherein a calf can push its feet against a frame instead of the door 22. The door 22 also has a latch member 23 for opening and closing the door.
[0014]The base 18, sidewall 20 and roof member 24 form a cavity 25 of size and shape to accommodate a newborn calf and preferably is of one-piece construction such as molded plastic. At least one sidewall 20A is tapered inwardly from the base 18 to the roof member 24. The tapering of the sidewall 20A prevents the calf from standing while being warmed.
[0015]The base 18 comprises a heating element 26 that when actuated warms the calf. Preferably, the base 18 has a flat portion 27 and a recessed step portion 28 that receives the heating element 26 and prevents the heating element from sliding around while warming the calf. Below the flat portion 27 and the recessed step portion 28 are a plurality of corrugated ribs 29 that add to the structural integrity of the base 18. Alternatively, the ribs 29 have a flat top surface that forms the recessed step portion 28 to support the heating element 26. Disposed between the ribs 29 are a plurality of drainage holes 30 that facilitate cleaning of the warming device 10. The heating element 26 in a preferred embodiment is a heating pad and is electrically connected to a power source 31 such as a generator via a power line 32 that is disposed through a sidewall 20 or a rechargeable battery. Also, in a preferred embodiment an insulator board 26A is sandwiched between the heating element 26 and the ribs 29. Also, the insulator board is attached to one or more side walls to provide insulation from the wind. The insulator board 26A insulates the heating element 26 from coldness coming from the ground.
[0016]The sidewalls 20 optionally have scent openings 34 disposed therethrough that are of size and shape to allow the mother cow 14 to be able to smell the scent of her calf 12 within the cavity 25 of the housing 16. The scent opening may be closed by a cover member 35 rotatably and pivotally connected to a sidewall. By having a cover member 35 the scent openings 34 may be closed during poor weather conditions. Additionally, the roof member 24 has a heating element 36 disposed therethrough that in a preferred embodiment is a heating lamp. Specifically, the lamp can be placed in a recess 37 to hold the lamp in place.
[0017]The door 22, like the sidewalls 20, optionally can have a scent opening 34 disposed therein. Additionally, in one embodiment the door 22 has a transparent portion 38 wherein the scent opening 34 is disposed therethrough. The transparent portion 38 allows for the mother cow 14 to visibly see her calf 12 while also being able to smell the calf 12. Preferably, the transparent portion is made of Plexiglas®. In another embodiment the entire door is made of Plexiglas®.
[0018]In operation when a calf is born the calf warming device 10 and portable power source 31 are transported to the location where the mother cow's water broke. The calf is then placed within the cavity 25 on the heating element 26. Because sidewall 20A is angled the calf is unable to stand and is forced to lay down on the heating element 26. At this time the heating element 36 disposed through the roof 24 can be actuated to provide heat from above the calf 12. Once the calf 12 is in position the door 22 is placed in a closed position as shown to enclose the calf 12 within cavity 25.
[0019]When the door 22 is in a closed position (FIG. 2) the cow 14 is brought to the calf warming device so that the cow is able to see the calf 12 through at least the transparent portion 38 of the door 22. Additionally the cow 14 can stand adjacent to a scent opening 34 to smell her calf 12. Optionally, the cow may place its nose through the scent opening 34 to get a stronger smell of her calf 12.
[0020]Once the calf 12 is properly heated and ready to come out of the calf warming device 10 the door 22 is placed in an open position. Because the cow 14 recognizes both the scent and appearance of her calf 12 the cow 14 immediately cares for and nurses the calf 12. Once the calf 12 has exited the calf warming device 10 a veterinarian or user may clean out the interior of the housing 16 by spraying the interior with a hose wherein the water drains from the cavity 25 via the drainage openings 30.
[0021]Thus, disclosed is an improved calf warming device 10. The device allows a mother cow 14 to not only see but additionally smell her newborn calf to ensure she will take care of and nurse after the warming process. Additionally, the calf warming device heats the calf 12 without drying the calf by blowing air over the calf that causes cooling. Instead, a first heating element 26 that directly engages the calf 12 and a second heating element 36 above the calf work to warm the calf wherein as the calf warms the calf additionally dries. The calf warming device also has a corrugated bottom surface and drainage openings 30 to allow drainage for fast cleaning of the device. Additionally, because the calf warming device 10 and power source 31 are portable they can be taken to the place where the mother cow's water broke. Consequently, at the very least, all of the stated objectives have been met.
[0022]It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other various modifications could be made to the device without the parting from the spirit in scope of this invention. All such modifications and changes fall within the scope of the claims and are intended to be covered thereby.

QT Axes Jambi: Possible Future as Community Project?
The coming March release of QT Jambi will probably be the last. QT Software will discontinue support for the Java version.
Jambi is a QT port to the Java programming language. With the release of version 4.5 in March, development will officially end with QT Software concentrating its resources on the cross platform C++ Toolkit QT.
Following the release of version 4.5.0_01 in March 2009, developers will maintain Jambi for one year, and in a move designed to encourage the community to continue with the further development, it will then be made available under the LGLP license on the QT website. QT Software is promising to host and maintain a community-driven Jambi project.
Paralell to the announcement, QT Software released a Technology Preview of QT Jambi 4.5.0_01 complete with a Tar.gz-archive. In addition, a special mailing list will be created to collect feedback on the current version: email@example.com.
QT vs. QtThanks for the hint, of course it should be Qt throughout the text.
QT what?Is this QT thing that you are going on about (QuickTime, an Apple product) in any way related to Qt (a Nokia set of libraries and development tools that work on a few different platforms)?

Say you have a couple of projects that you want to host on GitHub, and they're all pretty small (i.e. each one is a single bash script with less than 100 lines).
Even though they're relatively small, they can still be complex in that size, and a gist seems inappropriate. On the other hand, making an entire repository for a single file seems a bit much, is it? At what point should a gist become a repository, if ever?
You could also just collect all the scripts in one repository, but that'd be messing a lot of stuff that has no relation between them.
I've searched and thought about this problem, but have not found a satisfactory answer.

Ever Wondered How an Underwater House Gets Rid of Water?
Me, too. In fact, I woke this morning with that question in my mind, a question I have never considered before, even fleetingly: If I had a house at the bottom of the ocean, how would I get rid of the gray water? Which led to the question: How do submarines do it?
Turns out, submarines - at least some submarines - have two kinds of heads: gravity flush heads (that drains into holding tanks (which also collect "discharge" from the galley sink, the scullery sink, the scuttlebutt or drinking fountain, the shower, et al) and expulsion flush heads that look like this and discharge directly into the sea.
With lots of levers, pedals, sea pressure gagues, and things like "flood, blow, and discharge lines." First, flood the bowl with seawater from a "sea valve." Then pour your, er, coffee into the bowl. Next, "flush" by emptying the bowl into an expulsion chamber that will eventually push your coffee into the sea. Push a "rocker valve" one way to admit "air from a low-pressure line into a small volume tank until a pressure of approximately 10 pounds above sea pressure is reached. When rocked in the opposite direction, the valve directs the volume of air into the expulsion chamber. A sea pressure gage, a volume tank pressure gage, and an instruction plate are conveniently located."
And that, my friends, is how to shed water from a sealed, submarine edifice. It sounds dangerous. Maybe I'd prefer a tree house after all.

This is my second pass at the personification of Photoshop as a wrestler, ala King Kong Bundy. The attached file illustrates its use in a presentation slide.
Unlike the previous version, there are no raster elements to the character. Instead, I employed a lot of cell shading.
