text: The only thing odder than pairing the lanky Fred Astaire with the chunky Betty Hutton as a dance partner — see the disastrous result, Let's Dance (1950) — is asking a wisecracking kibbitzer like Joseph Epstein to describe the essence of Astaire's elegant artistry. But despite lots of overworked prose and jokey asides, Epstein manages the job quite well. His slim volume — an essay, really — on the great hoofer captures the full dimension of Astaire's talents, which for Epstein rightly extend beyond the best of his films and include his unforgettable recordings with Oscar Peterson et al. in the early '50s, a session that reprised all of the songs Astaire helped make famous in his films, only this time made to seem tossed off, in a way only a true perfectionist could accomplish. Astaire's own fame, though, rests mainly on his partnership with Ginger Rogers in ten films, especially the early ones, which include The Gay Divorcee, Top Hat, and Swing Time. In these Jazz Age–inspired movies, the graceful Astaire fills the screen with movement, and in perfect syncopation with his partner. His polished dress compensates for his peculiar looks — his big head and ears and hands, and his long face and chin, not to mention his toupee. But Astaire's all about charm, not pretty-boy looks. And his body in motion is elegant from top to bottom. As Epstein points out, Astaire surely benefitted from the great composers who wrote for him, Irving Berlin most of all. Epstein also admires Astaire's offscreen persona — laconic, modest, always a pro. This supports his main idea, which he hammers home again and again, in an un-Astaire-like manner, that this Nebraska-bred performer was that ultimate democratic ideal — "an aristocrat of talent."

YONKERS, N.Y. (AP) -- An attorney says a New York train engineer experienced a nod or "a daze" before his train derailed at a curve, killing four passengers.
Attorney Jeffrey Chartier accompanied engineer William Rockefeller to his interview with National Transportation Safety Board investigators and described the account Rockefeller gave Tuesday.
He says Rockefeller's daze was "almost like road fatigue" or the phenomenon sometimes called highway hypnosis.
A rail union official says the engineer acknowledged catching himself nodding at the controls.
The NTSB says the Metro-North Railroad commuter train went into the curve at 82 mph, nearly three times the 30 mph limit. It won't comment on the engineer's level of alertness before the Sunday morning wreck.
It says it's too soon to say whether the accident was caused by human error. But it says investigators have found no problems with the train's brakes.

Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 40 mins
I found this recipe this morning on the www.mccormick.com website. "This creamy casserole can be made a day ahead, refrigerated and then baked just before dinner. Using frozen vegetables makes this dish a cinch." Flavor Variation: Substitute 1 teaspoon McCormick® Lemon & Pepper Seasoning Salt and 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Basil Leaves for the Italian Seasoning.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup dry breadcrumbs, fine
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1⁄2 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen broccoli florets, thawed
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen cauliflower, thawed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper, Coarse Ground
- 1 1⁄4 cups milk
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cut-up
- 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Mix bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons melted butter and 1/2 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning in small bowl. Set aside.
- Cut up any large broccoli florets or cauliflower into bite-size pieces.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet on medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir about 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in flour, remaining 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, garlic salt and pepper. Add milk; cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Add cream cheese and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese; cook and stir until cream cheese is melted. Add vegetables; toss gently to coat.
- Spoon into 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle top evenly with crumb mixture.
- Bake 40 minutes or until heated through and top is lightly browned.

This is a wonderful recipe. I made it using ham instead of cauliflower and panko instead of regular breadcrumbs. A real hit in my house!
This is a good dish for the masses. It is well seasoned (I was heavy handed). I took it to a dinner tonight and none came home. I used fresh broccoli and cauliflower.
I really liked this one. It is so easy to do. I used a broccoli cauliflower and carrot mix. Even my husband who hates broccoli likes this. I think the flavor of the sauce masks the flavor of the broccoli and that's why he likes it. LOL I used a little more seasoning than called for.

Average retail gasoline prices in Nebraska have fallen 13.8 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.93/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 1,150 gas outlets in Nebraska. This compares with the national average that has fallen 2.3 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.65/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Nebraska during the past week, prices yesterday were 44.0 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 54.0 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 16.8 cents per gallon during the last month and stands unchanged compared to this day one year ago.
"Memorial Day weekend is now over, and believe it or not, many areas saw gasoline prices declining ahead of the long weekend," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "The U.S. national average dropped nearly three cents per gallon in the last week, while some areas saw an even bigger decline. The best news for motorists is that June typically brings some relief at the pump compared to where prices peaked in May, so for many areas across the country, prices will likely continue to decline," DeHaan said.

Health & Pregnancy
Getting Pregnant After Birth Control
Women tend to spend half their lives trying NOT to get pregnant and then when they decide they are ready, they find out it's not always that easy to conceive. In efforts to prevent pregnancy, women today use oral contraceptives, hormonal patches, condoms, and numerous other birth control methods.
When it comes to hormonal contraceptives, your best bet is to complete your current cycle and then attempt to get pregnant, says Frank A. Chervenak, MD, professor and chairman of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York City.
"After the cycle, attempts can be made to start getting pregnant although it may be advisable to wait for the first normal menstrual period after you stop taking your pills," he says. But this precaution is not essential. Some women conceive within a week or two after stopping birth control pills.
"I advise women to complete the cycle so they don't have irregular bleeding," he says. In general, the middle of the month is when ovulation and potentially conception are most likely to take place, so the optimal fertile window is a couple of weeks after stopping contraception.
An important point to consider, however, is that "if there has been a previous pregnancy or miscarriage, wait about three months to give the body a chance to recover," he says. "This is where a waiting period makes sense."
As far as other types of contraception, the intrauterine device (IUD) must be removed before a woman starts attempting to conceive, he says. Couples can just stop using condoms when they are ready to conceive, he adds.

Breakfast of Champions: 11/27
The print issue comes online this afternoon, and we have one or two more posts in the works today that are worth sticking around for as well. Until then:
The chilling tale of Duy Ngo has reached its latest chapter. Paul Demko reports on the Minneapolis City Council's record $4.5 million award to the police officer, who was shot multiple times with a sub-machine gun while doing undercover work.
At Culture to Go, read Jessica Armbruster's Q&A with chef Anthony Bourdain, who spoke at the Triple Rock last night. You'll find out what he thinks about celebrity chef culture and what one food he'd eat for the rest of his life if he could pick just one.
Today: inventions!
Ron Popeil has given the world so much. The pocket fisherman. Spray-on hair. Parodies of his work such as Gallagher's Sledge-o-Matic and the Weird Al Yankovic tune "Mr. Popeil." This link documents several of his contributions to American commerce, delivering unto you 11 Items Sold by Ron Popeil. After you've checked that out, scope Malcolm Gladwell's musings on Mr. Popeil for the New Yorker.
A specific invention that caught my eye: amidst the litany of amusing spam e-mails we get here at City Pages last week came news of the Fish 'n Flush. You've seen those words combined before, no doubt, but not quite in this way. The device is a combination aquarium and toilet.
This costs 300 bones? Seriously? Are the interspersed bubbling and flushing sounds coming from that website supposed to hypnotize me into forking over the credit card digits? For nearly the cost of a Nintendo Wii, you can ... oh, someone edit me, I can't do it.
Say this for the tackytacular toilet: When your fish dies, you don't have far to walk with his corpse.

"We know of specific instances where intruders have successfully gained access to these control systems," Panetta said in a speech to the Business Executives for National Security in New York City. "We also know that they are seeking to create advanced tools to attack these systems and cause panic and destruction and even the loss of life."
In his remarks, Panetta confirmed several recent cyber attacks against Saudi and Qatari energy companies that used the sophisticated Shamoon virus, calling the attacks "the most destructive that the private sector has seen to date." As Panetta noted, the Shamoon attacks "virtually destroyed" 30,000 computers owned by the Saudi oil company Aramco. "Imagine the impact an attack like that would have on your company or your business," he added.
Warning of more destructive attacks that could cause loss of life if successful, Panetta urged Congress to pass comprehensive legislation in the vein of the Cybersecurity Act of 2012, a bill co-sponsored by Sens. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., Susan Collins, R-Maine, Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., that failed to pass in its first attempt earlier this year by losing a cloture vote in the Senate.
[ Among many competing priorities in a tight budget, Cybersecurity Tops Federal IT Priorities List. ]
"Congress must act and it must act now," he said. "This bill is victim to legislative and political gridlock like so much else in Washington. That frankly is unacceptable and it should be unacceptable not just to me, but to you and to anyone concerned with safeguarding our national security."
Specifically, Panetta called for legislation that would make it easier for companies to share "specific threat information without the prospect of lawsuits" but while still respecting civil liberties. He also said that there must be "baseline standards" co-developed by the public and private sector to ensure the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure IT systems. The Cybersecurity Act of 2012 contained provisions that would arguably fit the bill on both of those accounts.
While Panetta said that "there is no substitute" for legislation, he noted that the Obama administration has been working on an executive order on cybersecurity as an end-around on Congress. "We need to move as far as we can" even in the face of Congressional inaction, he said. "We have no choice because the threat that we face is already here."
He added that the DOD has three priorities for improving its own ability to combat cyber attacks: investing more than $3 billion annually in cybersecurity to develop new capabilities, including recruiting and training new cyber warfare soldiers and developing new systems and techniques; pushing forward with new policy, including new cyber rules of engagement that are close to being finalized; and working ever closer with the private sector and other parts of government.
Although Panetta may have urged further action, he was also quick to point out that some gains have been made. For example, he said that the military had developed "the world's most sophisticated system to detect cyber intruders and attackers" and that other agencies had also stepped up to the plate.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Dangerous cold gripped the region Wednesday as Philadelphia and neighboring counties dug their way out of the remnants of a record winter storm, and officials said the harsh weather played a part in three deaths.
Little relief is in sight. Subfreezing temperatures are expected to continue into next week, with only a brief respite Saturday.
A wintry pattern could persist for the next two to three weeks, the National Weather Service said. A touch of snow is possible Thursday and Saturday, and perhaps something more substantial early next week, forecasters said.
The 13.5 inches measured officially after Tuesday's storm was one of the biggest snowfalls in Philadelphia in records dating to 1884. The seasonal total now stands at 33 inches, compared with an average of 22.2 for an entire season.

Is a Woman's Preference for Chest Hair in Men Influenced by Parasite Threat?

Humans (Homo sapiens) are unique primates due to a lack of a thermally insulating fur covering, typical of all other primates. Our primary goal was to examine the "ectoparasite avoidance mediated by mate choice hypothesis" suggesting that women prefer men lacking chest hair in order to avoid ectoparasite loads. We predicted that women living in areas with high prevalence of pathogens (n = 161) would be less likely to show a preference for a male with chest hair in comparison with women living in areas with low pathogen prevalence (n = 183). We found that overall preference for man chest hair was low, but there were no significant associations between perceived vulnerability to diseases or disgust sensitivity and preference of men who have had experimentally removed chest hair. Women who lived in an environment with a high parasite prevalence rate (Turkey) showed a similar preference for man chest hair as did women from an environment with low parasite prevalence (Slovakia). The participants biological fathers' chest hair had no significant effect on their preference for men with chest hair. Women living in a high-parasite-prevalence environment reported a higher disgust score in the sexual domain and more recent experiences with illnesses, suggesting that parasites influence sensitivity to sexual disgust. These results provide no support for the ectoparasite avoidance hypothesis mediated by mate choice and suggest that shaved men bodies are preferred more by women.

national market
The domestic marketplace for goods and services operating within the borders of and governed by the regulations of a particular country. The health of its home country's national market in terms of the supply and demand for the product that a business offers can be a strong determinant of its success.
Use national market in a sentence
The national market had been increasing in its demand for our sector of the market so we doubled our advertising.
The company wished to expand out of the south east region. They needed national market information to create a plan for expanding.
When we go to the national market, we find good quality items at very reasonable prices. In comparison to other businesses of this nature, we have found this one to be of the best value.

Jorge Soler Rips a two-run Dinger (VIDEO)
That sound off the bat is so very sweet. Jorge Soler has been bringing the power this spring, not many other balls are falling right now, but he's got the power stroke down.

Soriano Goes Deep Again in Victory Over Indians
Another day, another big home run from Alfonso Soriano, hopefully he can bottle this magic and take it North with him next week. Soriano has been on fire at the plate, hitting six home runs on the spring, he's clearly motivated, and a motivated Soriano can be a dangerous one for the rest of the National League.
Some Good Signs in Blowout Loss
The day got off to a bettar than decent start with Soriano blasting his third homerun of the spring season, and Chris Volstad working three spotless innings. Kerry Wood also made his spring debut and was solid, that was about the extent of the good portion of the day as the wheels fell off shortly there after. Carlops Marmol was touched up, big time. He faced seven hitters on the day, five of them reached base, and four of them scored. Something positive or negative that can be taken away from that depending on how you look at it was Marmol only hit one batter and walked no one. He gave up four hits including a three run blast to rising prospect Dustin Ackley, one outing is not cause for concern, but it is a shock to the system for sure.

Real-time applications have long been considered off-limits for Hadoop clusters. This talk will show how latencies of less than 5 seconds can be achieved for a sample metrics application while still retaining years of data with high availability and durability. This is done using a hybrid system consisting of Storm plus Hadoop that cooperate to do something neither can do alone.
This talk will provide a theory of operations, systems description and possibly a demo of a live system. All code will be made available on GitHub.
Speaker: Ted Dunning
Ted Dunning has been involved with a number of startups, with the latest being MapR Technologies where he is Chief Application Architect working on advanced Hadoop-related technologies. He is also a PMC member for the Apache Zookeeper and Mahout projects. Opinionated about software and data-mining and passionate about open source, he is an active participant of Hadoop and related communities and loves helping projects get going with new technologies.

A voter photo identification requirement endorsed by a Missouri House committee was derided Tuesday by the head of the Legislative Black Caucus as a "voter suppression" measure akin to a poll tax.
The House Elections Committee approved a state constitutional amendment Tuesday that would ask voters whether to allow a photo ID requirement. The committee also approved a separate bill that would implement the constitutional amendment by requiring that voters show government-issued photo identification before casting ballots.
A photo ID already is one of several options Missourians can show when going to vote, but it is not required. Voters also can identify themselves through such things as utility bills or bank statements. The measures sponsored by Rep. Stanley Cox, R-Sedalia, would change that requirement to only allow a government-issued photo ID.
The 8-4 vote was along party lines, with Republicans arguing the photo ID requirement would increases transparency and reduce voter fraud. Democrats said there are no reports of voter impersonation and the plan could disenfranchise voters.
Two hours after the committee endorsed the photo ID package, the Legislative Black Caucus held a news conference to state its opposition to the legislation. Sen. Jamilah Nasheed, who chairs the caucus, accused the Republicans of engaging in "voter suppression" and said the photo ID requirement was akin to a poll tax.
"They want us to require voter IDs, but the Republicans refuse to deal with a background check when it comes to guns ... we are talking about hypocrisy at its highest level," said Nasheed, D-St. Louis.
Cox said what he's proposing contains several safeguards and protections that would prevent disenfranchisement. Elderly and disabled people, those with religious objections and those who cannot afford the necessary documentation to get a state-issued photo ID would be allowed to sign an affidavit and cast a provisional ballot.
Nasheed said provisional ballots don't protect people's voting rights, because a lot of those ballots are thrown out. Cox denies that charge.
"Eligible voters will be able to vote, even those who end up voting on a provisional ballot because the election authority will recognize that they are a lawful voter, so it is a backward argument," Cox said.
Both measures must pass through the House Rules Committee before they can be debated on the House floor.
The Republican-led Legislature first passed a voter photo ID requirement in 2006, but it was tossed out by the Missouri Supreme Court. Lawmakers tried again in 2011 by passing the photo ID law and a state constitutional amendment to address the court's objections. But Gov. Jay Nixon vetoed the photo ID law and the Cole County Circuit Court blocked the constitutional amendment from the ballot over concerns that its wording would mislead voters.

I'm not sure what to write here, I must have rewritten this several times so far. Each time has turned into an epistle. Hopefully this is my last attempt. It's hard to summarize who you are, what you believe and give a succinct biography in such a short space.(br( span="") /)
I'm(/br() originally from a small town in California. The type of town that's so small everyone's related and it literally takes three minutes to drive from one side to the other. During my education I was lucky enough to live in different countries including Brazil and Syria.
I prefer to be with friends and family just hanging out, reading, or going somewhere/doing something new. Traveling is one of my favorite thing. I love going for walks or spending time outside. But growing up in a family of outdoorsmen and hunters some early experiences have jaded me for life
I'm a very quiet person. I've never been chatty and can give a stand offish appearance when first meet. But once I feel comfortable around someone I am extremely random, outgoing and have a very unique sense of humor. I love to keep busy. I usually have five to six different types of projects going at one time. (span s(/spantyle="font-weight:bold;")
I believe that what a person says does and how they spend their time defines who they are. I also believe that one should support, stand by and do everything possible to help their family and friends. I can be extremely loyal when the I occasion calls for it.

Many analysts and writers tend to focus on Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI) for two main reasons: "Call of Duty" and "World of Warcraft." Rightfully so, investors focus on the games as they have been the two bestselling franchises for the large video game company. However the company has a growing franchise in Skylanders, which is dominating the target kids market.
Since October 2011, the Skylanders franchise has sold $200 million in the United State alone. The sales of games and figures associated with the game puts the gaming franchise in the top 10.
The table below illustrates the sales for the first Skylanders game (Numbers in Millions):
|North America
|Rest of World
|Nintendo Wii
|Nintendo 3DS
The Skylanders franchise recently premiered on Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) platforms. Skylanders' Cloud Patrol premiered on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch on April 5th. The game is an arcade style shooter aimed at a younger audience. As of April 22, the game was the 33rd bestselling paid app on iTunes. The game has several add-ons including:
- Standard Pack $1.99
- Super Pack $4.99
- Mega Pack $14.99
- Ultra Pack $49.99
The game costs $0.99 to download and has many four and five star reviews.
The Skylanders console games have sold extremely well both for Activision and for retailers. Toys 'R Us has to be happy with the performance of Skylanders, as it has been able to produce several exclusive packs of Skylanders characters available only at its retail outlets or online. A search on the Toys 'R Us website recently came back with 34 results including some of the exclusive items. Searches on Target (NYSE:TGT) and Gamestop (NYSE:GME) came back with several items sold out. Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) had the biggest selection of a big box retailer with 42 items but also had several items out of stock. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Ebay (NASDAQ:EBAY) are the clear winners of the short supply of Skylanders figures as they provide an outlet for people to sell hard to find characters or used characters.
On Amazon's top hundred selling items in the "video games" category, several Skylanders characters show up:
15. Single Character - Camo $55
16. Single Character - Warnado $62
19. Single Character - Wham-Shell $67
48. Single Character - Chop Chop $9
55. Adventure Pack Empire of Ice (3 Characters) $28
61. Single Character - Flameslinger $9
62. Adventure Pack with Cynder, Lightning Rod, Zook $42
73. Starter Pack for Nintendo Wii $60
88. Single Character Cynder $11
94. Triple Character Pack with Drobot, Flameslinger, Stump Smash $24
97. Triple Character Pack with Wrecking Ball, Stealth Elf, Sonic Boom $29
A search on Ebay came up with almost 9000 items for the word "Skylanders." One thing is for sure that the demand is still out there for a game that was released back in October. The creators of the game were smart by limiting supply and as one commenter on a recent article stated: not over-saturating the market like Beanie Babies. The new Skylanders: Giant game will come with at least eight new larger playable characters. The previous characters will be compatible with the new game. Activision is set to release the game in the fall right before the busy Christmas shopping season and the game should be on every kid's Christmas list.
Activision Blizzard has an amazingly strong 2012 lineup across both of its operating platforms. Skylanders: Giants adds to the lineup and represents a growing franchise that can help the company decrease dependence on "Call of Duty" and "World of Warcraft" subscribers. The "Diablo III" game is set to come out on May 15. The time to buy shares is before that as the company will see an immediate bounce in its share price. I recommended the company as one of my top 10 stock picks for 2012. The shares were only up 5.5% in the first three months. I have a price target of $20 for Activision Blizzard shares by the end of the year.
Disclosure: I am long ATVI.

Assembling a nationally respected team of nurse, physician and mental-health leaders with broad expertise in brain health and minority aging, UC Davis in Sacramento, Calif., has established the Latino Aging Research Resource Center through a five-year, $3 million grant from the National Institute on Aging.
The center is one of seven National Institute on Aging-funded Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research in the nation and is the only one focused on Latinos and cognitive health. It builds on the internationally respected leadership in Latino mental-health disparities and cognitive decline at the UC Davis Alzheimers Disease Center and the UC Davis Center for Reducing Health Disparities, and it will collaborate with the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, according to a news release.
"We need to identify and train a larger cadre of committed researchers if we are to advance the science and reduce cognitive health disparities for aging Latinos and their families," principal investigator and center Director Ladson Hinton, MD, director of geriatric psychiatry in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and a researcher at the Alzheimers Disease Center, said in a news release.
The center includes faculty at both the schools of medicine and nursing. Its co-directors are Heather Young, RN, PhD, FAAN, associate vice chancellor for nursing and dean of the nursing school, and Sergio Aguilar-Gaxiola, MD, PhD, director of the Center for Reducing Health Disparities.
"Research of a populations healthcare needs must take into account health, socioeconomic factors and historical cultural perspectives," Young said in the release. "We hope to entice young Latino scientists from across professions to add their expertise and then support them in their research, thus building capacity for the future."
The center emphasizes community engagement through mentoring to encourage people to participate in research and to disseminate brain-health information to Latino communities. The center will award new pilot research grants each year. Initial projects include: volunteerisms effect on cognitive health; Latina caregivers well-being and patient outcomes; and the impact of neighborhood context on older Latinos risk of diabetes.

This seems like a highly interesting concept. Anybody else would like to give some insight in this subject?
Posted 04 June 2006 - 04:10 PM
It would also be good if you got the same amount of money for racing a drivatar as you do a normal race.
Posted 10 June 2006 - 06:53 PM
also you could go on like a site where you can get game saves and find one with a drivitar that is about 99%

Social Security snow job
OPINION Winter is here, and in keeping with the season the Republican White House is planning a carefully crafted campaign of obfuscation (i.e., a snow job!) in an effort to convince present and future retirees and the public in general that a "crisis" is looming with Social Security and changes need to be made.
Federal campaign laws undermine democracy
OPINION Over the past four years we have seen a broad progressive movement emerge on a grand scale. Although it did not stop Bush on Nov. 2, this relatively new movement was able to deliver at least a 49 percent vote against the ultra-right. Key components, including the AFL-CIO, NOW, the NAACP, and others, have already begun strategizing as to how to move forward.

Failure not permanent
Published: Monday, June 29, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, June 27, 2009 at 2:07 p.m.
To The Editor: In 2004, David Ortiz, designated hitter for the Boston Red Sox, led Boston to its first World Series victory since 1918. Five years later, still in his prime, Ortiz is having it tough at the plate. He batted .143 in May. the Wall Street Journal (June 13) highlights Ortiz as an example of sudden failure. The newspaper adds an inset of other famous losers.
But loser doesnt suggest that the fault lies with the individual or the entity. The global financial crisis has produced many losers, e.g. millions with retirement funds wiped out, thousands of Chrysler and GM dealerships closed, failed banks, millions jobless. And during this economic nadir, there are those mad individuals who open restaurants, which even in the best of times have a high mortality rate.
Failure is a test of ones mettle and often a period of personal growth. E.g., newly minted and remarkably successful at selling himself, radio and TV celebrity Glenn Beck has been through the dark tunnel of hard drugs and alcohol to emerge rich, upbeat and persistently ebullient.
America with millions unemployed, millions outside nevertheless seek to enter, for it is the forever opportunity land.

BRYAN -- The Brazos Valley Bombers announced the additions of two outfielders who will add an immediate punch to their attack. Cody Cotter of the University of St. Louis and Andre Rodriguez from the University of Missouri hope to stabilize the outfield rotation as the team prepares for its third summer of Texas Collegiate League play.
During the opening weekend of the college season, Cotter instantly put his leadoff skills on display as he reached base seven times in 15 at-bats. He possesses fantastic speed and demonstrated his plate discipline by drawing four walks this past weekend.
The speedster has been a major addition for the Billikens after transferring from Iowa Western Community College, who he led to the Junior College World Series last year. He not only torched opposing pitchers with a .395 batting average, but also broke the school record with eight triples. At 5'9" and 180, he is compactly built and displays great power to the gaps, enabling him to hit for extra bases with regularity.
Cotter is a product of St. Joseph Central High School, which is located in his hometown of St. Joseph, Missouri. The left hander was a two-time All-City, All-District and All-Conference selection for the Indians while playing both the outfield and infield.
Rodriguez comes to the University of Missouri with high expectations after being named team MVP his senior season at Sharyland High School in McAllen, Texas. He hit an incredible .420, while racking up 11 home runs, seven triples, 13 doubles and 45 RBI on his way to an All-State Honorable Mention selection. He was also the All-Area Offensive MVP after leading Sharyland to a 32-3-1 record.
He enjoyed a successful campaign for Missouri this past fall, starting in each of the three Fall World Series games. He collected at least one hit each game, including a triple, two doubles and four RBI.
Both players should be valuable additions to the Bombers as they look to increase their versatility and depth this offseason. Stay tuned to check the progress of the Bombers each and every day by reading the Daily Fly Over on www.bvbombers.com.

Protect money for the arts
Published: Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 9:29 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 9:29 a.m.
The U.S. House of Representatives is on track to cut $43 million from the National Endowment for the Arts' budget of $167.5 million. That's a 26 percent cut — the deepest in 16 years. Our senators should prevent these deep cuts from happening when they take up this legislation at the end of this month.
The arts mean jobs. According to Americans for the Arts, the nonprofit arts industry generates $166.2 billion annually in economic activity, supports 5.7 million full-time equivalent jobs in the arts and related industries and returns $12.6 billion in federal income taxes. Measured against direct federal cultural spending of about $1.4 billion, that's a return of nearly nine to one. Federal funding for the arts leverages private funding. The NEA requires at least a one-to-one match of federal funds from all grant recipients — a match far exceeded by most grantees.
On average, each NEA grant leverages at least seven dollars from other state, local and private sources.
Private support cannot match the leveraging role of government cultural funding.

The Age of American Unreason
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, Feb 12, 2008 - History - 356 pages
A cultural history of the last forty years, The Age of American Unreason focuses on the convergence of social forces-usually treated as separate entities-that has created a perfect storm of anti-rationalism. These include the upsurge of religious fundamentalism, with more political power today than ever before; the failure of public education to create an informed citizenry; and the triumph of video over print culture. Sparing neither the right nor the left, Jacoby asserts that Americans today have embraced a universe of "junk thought" that makes almost no effort to separate fact from opinion.

Susan Jacoby gives us a good, clear-eyed view of American intellectual history; particularly in the latter half of the twentieth century. It's not an exhaustive or definitive history, but it neatly contextualizes the current tendency of media (and political partisans) to misunderstand the pedigree of modern political thought. However, in many respects, it's not unlike Al Gore's "The Assault on Reason" and many other self-righteous polemics. Jacoby is at her best when she's exposing the manner by which society's manipulators and profiteers exploit dangerous cultural trends to their own advantage; she's at her worst when she becomes a misanthropic scold willfully ignoring the psychological pathologies that make average citizens vulnerable to the machinations of the market. (Additionally, the stories of her personal literary life are maddeningly self-aggrandizing.)
Finally, the book falls apart in the final chapters. Here we are assaulted with the usual parade of statistics meant to convince us of the decline of American education. In addition, she takes wild, generalized swings at the Bush administration without taking the time to contextualize or justify them. While there is undoubtedly truth in her conclusions about the Bush administration, she undercuts her credibility by not taking the time to provide comprehensive explanations of how she arrived at them (and by confusing anecdotes with evidence). Consequently, the last few chapters abandon a scholarly tone and sound more like hyperventilated screaming.
It's a decent book, but be prepared to suffer a little.

Amgen and Micromet entered into a definitive agreement for Amgen to acquire Micromet for roughly $1.16 billion. The $11 per share cash offer has been approved by both the Amgen and Micromet boards of directors. The deal represents a 33% premium to Micromet's $8.27 closing price yesterday. Today, Micromet's share price has jumped to $10.93 in early morning trading.
Amgen's decision to buy Micromet outright comes some six months after the firms inked a collaboration deal. For €10 million up front, Micromet agreed to work to discover antibodies against three undisclosed tumor targets from Amgen, which agreed to pay a further €342 million in clinical and commercial milestone payments plus double-digit royalties.
The acquisition gives Amgen Micromet's Bispecific T cell Engager (BiTE) antibody technology. The most advanced candidate, blinatumomab, is being evaluated as a treatment for hematological malignancies. "The acquisition of Micromet is an opportunity to acquire an innovative oncology asset with global rights and a validated technology platform with broad potential clinical applications," remarks Kevin Sharer, chairman and CEO at Amgen.
Blinatumomab is currently under investigation in five trials: two Phase II trials for adult patients with relapsed/refractory ALL, Phase I/II trial for pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory ALL, Phase II trial for adult ALL patients with minimal residual disease, and a Phase I trial for adult patients with relapsed/refractory NHL.
Micromet has ongoing partnerships with companies including Sanofi, Bayer Schering Pharma, and Boehringer Ingelheim. Amgen also adds Micromet's R&D center in Munich. The site will operate as an Amgen R&D center of excellence.
Around this time last year Amgen reported that it was going to pay $425 million in cash to take over cancer and infectious disease vaccines firm BioVex. It also agreed to another $575 million in regulatory and sales milestones. BioVex' lead candidate, OncoVEXGM-CSF, is currently being evaluated in a Phase III multinational study in metastatic melanoma, and a separate Phase III study in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

I find that for most software projects, documentation is often oriented towards the process of development the software, rather than supporting and maintaining it. This is particularly true when using agile methodologies, which emphasize minimalistic documentation.
The issue with development-oriented documentation is that it tends to be less usable as a reference, especially after a few releases. It's a pain to sifting through a pile of story cards (or story pages on a wiki, as our team uses) trying to work out which stories are current, and which have been modified (directly or indirectly) by more recent stories. A full waterfall-style requirements specification, technical-design document, etc. may be fine if development is always done in a big bang, but as bugs are fixed, minor features added, etc. it may be difficult to maintain.
I'm a fan of minimalistic documentation, as the less documentation there is, the easier it is to find things (assuming what you're looking for is documented, of course), and the easier it is to maintain.
I am thinking of extending our wiki-based story pages to contain some meta-data, i.e. references to other stories which are related, affected, obsoleted, etc., similar to IETF RFPs.
I'm interested in hearing about other peoples' experiences with lightweight approaches to software documentation that works for maintenance and support, not just delivering a project and tossing it over the wall.
Update: I don't consider class-level documentation to be enough, whether using inline documentation such as javadoc or unit tests as documentation. These are fine for developers, but testers, support staff, trainers and the like need a way to understand what the expected behavior of the code is. This needs a higher level view of functionality than class-by-class. Each class may be doing what it was meant to do, but is how is the component as a whole supposed to work? This is why I personally favor the user story as a basic unit of documentation.

During special occasions, most men are caught in a dilemma of selecting the perfect gift for their dearest women. We own a flower Thailand network where many people send a flower gift to Thailand for birthdays and more. Commonly, men are compelled to buy expensive gifts like gadgets, signature perfumes and clothing, and jeweleries made of precious stones like diamond for they think that women would be most happy to receive them. But what if you are confined to a limited budget such that you cannot afford those gifts? By reading the rest of the article, be prepared to know the reason why a flower gift is a better alternative to expensive gifts like diamonds.
1. Flowers don't hurt your pocket at all – they are either cheap or free.
Flowers are abundant in nature. As such, if you don't have enough money to buy flowers that are sold by florists – you can always pick some from Mother Nature. There are many sources where you can probably pick an enough bunch. Ask your kind neighbour to give you some. Roadsides, mountain slopes, and nearby prairies may also be good sources. Your girlfriend or wife will be more than happy to receive the flowers because they knew you really exerted effort to pick them.
2. Flowers are earth's friends – they are also non-toxic.
Another reason why flowers are considered better gifts is due to their harmless characteristics. Their assortment of colours and their fresh fragrances can captivate anyone's heart – especially women. Unlike other gifts that contribute to the worsening problems associated with improper waste disposal – flowers are the exact opposite. This is because flowers are biodegradable and can decompose in a few days.
3. Flowers are languages themselves – various colours and species convey different messages.
According to the traditions which were passed down from the ancient times, flowers relay different messages. The modern times adopted the concept very well. As such different colours of flowers as well as their various species are interpreted in diverse meanings. Red roses represent tender love and affection. Pink roses are used to denote passion and romance. Yellow flowers are commonly given to family and friends to signify the Philia principle of love. White flowers show sympathy and are thus usually given to those who are sick or to those who are grieving.
4. Flowers can be mixed with other items – they add meaning and value.
Flowers have always been a part of gift-giving ideas. Due to this, flowers are almost always readily available in gift shops. They can perfectly match any gift item to add more meaning. For instance, flowers can always match chocolates and stuffed toys.
5. Flowers can be given to anyone – even to a guy!
The times have really changed fast. Flowers that are traditionally given to women as gifts can now be given as gifts to men – without creating much fuzz or issue. You just have to add masculinity to them. Add green flowers like cymbidium orchids and carnations or choose flowers that have spicy, musky, or earthy scents like delphinium, lupine and bluebells. Arrange them in simple ways and absent of any effeminate designs.
Flowers aside from being timeless gifts can be regarded as cheaper and better ways to make your loved ones happy. They may not have the complexities of gadgets, or the brilliance of diamonds – but they reflect love and affection in their simplest and purest forms.

Este grupo de italiano fue una pesadilla.Hablaban fuerte de dia como de noche .Ruido con las puertas (habia otra gente en la casa que se quejaron) No han tenido ningun reparo en pasearse en bañador por los pasillos , mirando su ordenador fuera de su habitacion. Se hicieron cafe en la cocina y lo dejaron todo por medio. Eran bastante desagradable. El perrito se escapo 2 veces del apartamento mio y jugaron mucho con el porque tiene 2 meses (???)no doy credito a su reflexion .
My review was very brief as not to be too great a disadvantage of Margot. His welcome was not as warm as I expected. The kitchen is insufficient for all guests, although we enjoyed the coffee that was offered. The little dog is very cute and nice, but free to move from room to room. Our presence in the house is limited to a few hours during the day and at night to sleep. There was a bad smell of urine and the rooms very old and shabby and not very clean. During a time when we were at home there was a birthday party (a few minutes) very noisy, from friends of Margot. . I think that Mrs. Margot should accept criticism to improve its hospitality.
