Even before the hunters were off the phone, Kristin Laidre was out of her pajamas and struggling into a survival suit. She ran down to the beach, where a motorboat awaited. The night was frigid with ice-chip stars; the northern lights glowed green overhead. Laidre and a colleague sped past looming bergs and black cliffs plated with ice to the spot offshore where the villagers' boats were circling. The whale was there, a thrashing ton of panic amid the swells. Laidre could see its outline in the water and smell its sour breath.

The scientists and hunters maneuvered boats and began hauling in the nylon net that had been strung from shore and floated with plastic buoys. It was exceptionally heavy because it was soaking wet and, Laidre would recall, "there was a whale in it." Once the mottled black animal was in a secure hammock, they could slip a rope on its tail and a hoop net over its head and float it back to the beach to be measured and tagged.
But something was wrong. The whale seemed to be only partially caught—snagged by the head or tail, Laidre wasn't sure. The hunters screamed at each other, the seas heaved and the boats drifted toward the fierce cliffs. The hunters fought to bring the whale up, and for a moment it seemed as if the animal, a big female, was theirs—Laidre reached out and touched its rubbery skin.
Then the whale went under and the net went limp, and with a sinking heart Laidre shined her pale headlamp into water as dark as oil.
The narwhal was gone.
Kristin Laidre did not set out to wrestle whales in the devastatingly cold waters off Greenland's west coast. She wanted to be a ballerina. Growing up near landlocked Saratoga Springs, New York, where the New York City Ballet spends its summer season, she discovered the choreography of George Balanchine and trained throughout her teens to be an elite dancer. After high school, she danced with the Pacific Northwest Ballet, one of the nation's most competitive companies, and while practicing a grueling 12 hours a day performed in Romeo and Juliet, Cinderella and The Firebird.
Wearing hiking boots instead of toe shoes, she still carries herself with a dancer's grace, a perfect surety of movement that suggests she can execute a plié or stand up to a polar bear with equal competence. Laidre's three-year dance career ended after a foot injury, but she says ballet prepared her rather well for her subsequent incarnation as an arctic biologist and perhaps America's leading expert on narwhals, the shy and retiring cetaceans with the "unicorn horn"—actually a giant tooth—found only in the Greenlandic and Canadian Arctic.
"When you are a ballet dancer you learn how to suffer," Laidre explains. "You learn to be in conditions that aren't ideal, but you persist because you're doing something you love and care about. I have a philosophy that science is art, that there is creativity involved, and devotion. You need artistry to be a scientist."
Like the elusive whale she studies, which follows the spread and retreat of the ice edge, Laidre, 33, has become a migratory creature. After earning undergraduate and doctoral degrees at the University of Washington, she now spends part of her year at its Polar Science Center, and the rest of the time she works with collaborators in Denmark or Greenland, conducting aerial surveys, picking through whale stomachs and setting up house in coastal hunting settlements, where she hires hunters to catch narwhals. Along the way she has learned to speak Danish and rudimentary West Greenlandic.
The Greenlandic phrase she hears most often—whenever the weather blows up or the transmitters malfunction or the whales don't show—is immaqa aqagu. Maybe tomorrow.

Two to read from work, Feb. 8
Posted February 1, 2006; 09:48 p.m.
Fiction writer Gary Shteyngart and poet Quincy Troupe will read from their work at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 8, in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
Chang-rae Lee and C.K. Williams, faculty members in the Council of the Humanities and Program in Creative Writing, will introduce the two.
Shteyngart's debut novel, "The Russian Debutante's Handbook," was published in 2002 and was named to The New York Times list of notable books for that year. His second novel, "Absurdistan,'' will be published this spring by Random House.
Troupe is the author of 14 books, including seven volumes of poetry. The recipient of two American Book Awards and a Peabody Award, he edited "James Baldwin: The Legacy" and co-wrote an autobiography of jazz musician Miles Davis. He also has produced two children's books, "Take It To the Hoop, Magic Johnson" and "Little Stevie Wonder."
The event is part of the Creative Writing Program's Althea Ward Clark Reading Series.

Building GLORY's Light Heavyweight Division: Vladimir Mineev
- Written by Dave Walsh
Glory 9 brought great action to kickboxing fans this past Saturday. The event also helped the Glory promotion name its first light heavyweight Slam champion, and provided everyone a greater sense of who's who in a long-underrepresented division. Glory will now have to attract additional talent from around the world to bolster the ranks of an already strong group of light heavyweights. This series of articles looks at kick boxers that we at LiverKick would have liked to see in Saturday's tournament and hope Glory can bring into the fold going forward.
Vladimir Mineev is a Russian light heavyweight that has been highlighted by our own staff on various occasions as someone to keep an eye on. While the 23-year-old is the youngest fighter to be featured in this series, he already has a number of amateur and professional titles to his name. Mineev is a two-time gold medalist in the -91kg. weight class at the W.A.K.O. European Championships, first winning the competition in 2008.
Mineev hasn't lost a professional bout since taking Igor Jurkovic to an extension round in December 2010 (part 1, part 2). Mineev put together a 6-0 record while fighting exclusively in Russia in 2011. He duplicated that mark in 2012, traveling outside of Russia once to fight in France.
Mineev started his 2013 with a knockout victory over Revanho Blokland, finishing the bout with a looping left hand near the opening of the second round. He also earned a decision victory over Redouan Cairo in April, taking Cairo's Wako-Pro title in the process. This most recent bout allowed Mineev to show his offensive arsenal against an extremely capable opponent. Seeing Mineev next to Cairo also reinforced the idea that the Russian needs to remain at light heavyweight for the moment, rather than make the all-too-common jump to heavyweight that similarly situated fighters have made in the past.
Despite Mineev's success, the young Russian's recent bouts have not been without some challenge. A left hook sent Mineev to the canvas in the second round of his bout against Ali Cenik last December. Forced to fight from a deficit, Mineev eventually earned the victory with two knockdowns in the extension round.
Vladimir Mineev is scheduled to face off against Brazil's Tiago Beowulf on August 4th, at the Fight Nights St. Tropez event in scenic Saint Tropez, France.

Didn't have an issue. Two different commands. Two completely different venues.
"Find it" for articles. "Fetch it up" for bumpers.
Earl, I'd be curious what method you used for teaching articles, and especially if it was done indoors.

I haven't done AKC obedience since these black dogs just don't have the showmanship. Connie Drobac even tried to help me, but, to no avail. That pile work did me in.

Barb, I am sorry it was Betty Drobac, Connie Cleveland's mother I think. It was a long time ago, 1983 or1984. Also forgot some of his stuff old habits die he was

My basic point however is a youngster shopping a pile in a pressure drill is realy not the same as the dog leaving the AOF after an established hunt on a marking set up,
which in most of our minds is the definition of a switch.
Bert Rodgers
Kennel maiden...
So over there, if dog picks up a bird and rather than return directly to you she drops it and picks up another, exactly what will you do to remedy the matter?.
In our trials we have no piles of birds in close proximity to one another. However on our separate and distinct marks the birds may be near enough to one another, say 50 yards, for dog to be tempted to "switch" to another while returning. Or, while hunting the fall area of one mark, before finding bird, dog may leave area and high tail it over to a different bird, again a Switch.
In "pile work" training there is a pile of bumpers, not birds, which is where we have "shopping" issues. Sometimes we'll run a blind with several dogs and set out enough birds for all of them.
When we want to end shopping "NO Here" Toot, toot, toot may be enough. It it becomes more irritating collar pressure may be added. No Here, nick or burn. However in the vicinity of guns and birds use of collar needs to be measured with a bit of caution.

I finally got transport and somewhere to stay organised for FOSDEM. (The place to be, apparently, is the Hotel Astrid.)
Since the last time I posted I finally made it out of the Debian NM process. So I get to upload packages directly rather than having to hassle my sponsor to do it for me. Unsurprisingly enough, this makes things much quicker.
I've been writing up a paper to submit to a conference. This is now mostly done, but I still have a few sections to tidy up, where I've thought of extra things to say that I can still fit into the 8 page limit.

Creamy Raspberry Jello Dessert- Gundersen Lutheran 500 Club
Creamy Raspberry Jell-O Dessert
Makes 6 servings
Getting started Equipment you will need: mixing bowl, spatula, serving bowl Do right away when you get home: Boil water
1 (0.3 oz) sugar free raspberry Jell-O
2/3 c. water
7 oz. frozen raspberries, thawed
8 oz. nonfat raspberry yogurt
1. Boil water. Add Jell-O and mix until dissolved.
2. Add raspberries and yogurt. Mix well to remove any lumps. Pour into a serving bowl and refrigerate overnight, or until set.
Tips: Substitute different varieties of Jell-O and yogurt with your favorite fresh, frozen or canned fruits to create new flavors. However, do not use fresh or frozen pineapple. Pineapple naturally contains an enzyme called bromelain which prevents Jell-O from setting. This enzyme is destroyed in the canning process, so canned pineapple would work.
Shopping list: Sugar free raspberry Jell-O Frozen raspberries Raspberry yogurt

Cornhusker's Kickback??
Last night the Nebraska Cornhuskers routed the Arizona Wildcats 33-0 in the Holiday Bowl. Most years college football bowl games do not have much to do with health care legislation in Washington. But last night, Husker fans throughout Nebraska were subjected to a 30-second television ad from Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE).
Politicians usually dont run ads a month after November, and almost never more than two years before they are up for re-election. But after a new poll showed Nelson with a 55% unfavorable rating and down 30 points to a would-be 2012 challenger, Nelson decided to take to the air. The source of Nebraskans displeasure with Nelson is no secret. 64% of the state opposes the health care legislation Nelson recently voted for in the Senate, and only 17% approve of the special deal Nelson made for Nebraskas Medicaid program, more commonly known as the Cornhusker Kickback, in order to secure his vote.
Nebraskans are not the only Americans disgusted by the tactics President Barack Obama and his allies are employing to pass their version of health reform. The attorneys general of 13 states have sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) demanding that the Nebraska deal be removed from the bill or they will challenge the legislation constitutionally in court.
Other states are taking a different tack, demanding that the entire Medicaid portion of the Senate bill be redone. The governors of the nations two largest Democratic states, New York and California, warn that the Medicaid expansion at the heart of the bill could collapse the very safety net system it seeks to expand. New York Governor David Patterson says the bill would leave his state $1 billion in the lurch and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says Obamacare will drain Californias General Fund an additional $3 billion to $4 billion annually.
The fight over the Medicaid portions of the bill expose one of the dirty little secrets of Obamacare: for all the talk of fundamental reform of the system, over half of the health insurance coverage additions in both the House and Senate bills come from the expansion of Medicaid.
Medicaid was chosen to do the bulk of the health insurance expansion under Obamacare because it is cheap. But as Americans instinctively know: cheaper does not mean better. The Presidents own Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have warned that the lower Medicaid reimbursements will mean those who gain insurance under Obamacare through Medicaid will have a very difficult time finding doctors to treat them.
There is a reason government-run single payer health care advocates rally under the slogan Medicare for All. Medicare is actually popular among those who use it. But Americans who think they are gaining real health insurance under Obamacare are going to be in for a rude awakening when they discover they ended up with Medicaid for All instead.

text: Just curious, do any of the regulars here watch the Clone Wars series? Even though I've stopped collecting Hasbro stuff, I still watch the show- but I'm on the fence about it. It looks great in HD, and sounds very good on a home theater system, but the stories leave me with a "meh" at the end. The Obi-wan clone battle eps got tired after a while, and now the "political" ones with Padme are getting on my nerves. I love the look but I think someone needs to hire a new writing team to amp this up. Maybe it's just a futile effort since we know what is going to happen and that most of the characters will die, which is why I like the side stories on Mandalor, bounty hunters, etc. More of that might make this exciting again.

It's Still the Economy, Stupid
With 14 million Americans still out of work, in this week's Newsweek the 42nd president offers more than a dozen ideas on how to attack the jobs crisis—from painting roofs white to offering cash incentives and cutting corporate taxes.
In 1992, Bill Clinton campaigned with the motto "It's the economy, stupid," promising to bring the country out of a recession. He delivered, and presided over years of growth. Now the 42nd president has some ideas about how to bring America out of its current slump. They range from the large-scale (giving tax credits to manufacturing startups, getting U.S. corporations to invest in a second stimulus) to the small (retrofitting buildings to be more energy-efficient and painting rooftops white). Next week, Clinton's organization, the Clinton Global Initiative, will turn its attention to the U.S. for the first time, unveiling a blueprint for job creation. In this week's Newsweek are 14 of his ideas.

Detailed Description:
This is a prospective, multi-center registry of patients who are currently undergoing spray cryotherapy using the trūFreeze® device. The registry population consists of patients who are being treated using the spray cryotherapy trūFreeze® device for the removal of unwanted tissue, such as malignant or pre-malignant conditions in the pulmonary or gastrointestinal settings.
Patients eligible to participate in the registry will have disease and treatment specific data collected throughout therapy and long-term follow-up. Subjects will be considered to have completed the registry when data from the 5 year follow-up visit has been collected. The beginning of the follow-up period commences with the first endoscopic treatment session.
Subjects may be withdrawn prior to this for any of the following reasons:
- Death, or
- Lost to Follow-Up, or
- Withdrawal of consent, or
- Discontinuation by the investigator. Three attempts at contact using two different methods are required prior to determination that the subject is lost to follow-up. Attempts at contact must be with certified letters OR documented telephone contact.
The registry will utilize electronic case report forms using a web-based platform housed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Access to the database will be limited to individuals involved in the research registry and will require a unique user ID and password. All access to the database and web-based application will be encrypted (HTTPS) and electronic systems compliant with applicable privacy and security regulations. To maintain patient confidentiality, all subjects will be assigned a registry identification number, and this will be the only link between subject identity and treatment information. Read-only access will be provided to any personnel who is not an administrator or responsible for data entry.
All data requested on the case report form must be recorded. All missing data must be explained. The system allows sites to directly enter data electronically, however sites are still responsible for ensuring they have source documents that support all data entered electronically that are separate and verifiable. The registry system will maintain an audit trail that captures when electronic entries are changed, what the change was, and who made the change.
The investigators will ensure the capability for inspections of applicable registry-related facilities (e.g. pharmacy, diagnostic laboratory, etc.). The registry will be monitored by the sponsor, and allow auditing by the Institutional Review Board, government regulatory bodies, and University compliance and quality assurance groups of all registry related documents (e.g. source documents, regulatory documents, data collection instruments, registry data, etc.).

Do you?
or do you NOT?
quote:Ms NC & I had this discussion earlier. Use of the "n-word" and meaning it might be a relative comparison -- 1960's vs 2010's
this is kind of funny when you get back to the "we didn't used to lock our doors" argument that YOU made while discussing an era that is clearly MORE DANGEROUS than today
Right, and so nearly 2/3 of the decline is real. That's my point. Crime has been going down, and there is no really good argument against that observation.
I just destroyed his little path down memory lane
Even those on here that try to play cute and compare powdered wig wearing to the complete disregard for all rules, manners and civility know in their hearts we have digressed as a society. They just try to convince themselves in their minds that all is well while rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
The Dallas Police Department has altered the way crime is counted in several areas over the years. This creates an apples and oranges situation where, because crimes are counted differently, it is difficult to determine actual crime trends.
Earlier this year, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman told me that he believes the biggest problem facing law enforcement today is altered crime stats.
1.) In 1996, there was a concerted effort to conceal the magnitude of crime in Atlanta during the Summer Olympics selection process. An audit in 2003 revealed that 22,000 crimes were left out of reports for the previous year.
2.) In 1998, Philadelphia PD was the subject of a DOJ investigation into under-reporting crime. The practice endured, top commanders said, because favorable statistics made higher-ups happy and helped careers.
3.) In April 2000 U.S. News and World Report stated that "facing political heat to cut crime in the city, investigators in the [Philadelphia] PD Sex Crime Unit sat on (thousands of) reports of rapes and other sexual assaults." Captain Rich Costello, President of the FOP said, "The way crime was solved was with an eraser."
4.) In 2003, four New Orleans officers and a district commander were fired for downgrading hundreds of serious crimes to "miscellaneous incidents." The department had been giving quarterly and annual "crime reduction awards" to districts that posted the greatest declines in major crime. The fired district commander had won the award for the entire previous year and the first quarter of 2003. The investigation began with anonymous tips from officers frustrated with the aggressive use of statistics as a performance measure.
5.) In 2004, the NYPD police unions publicly charged that the department had cooked the books to lower crime stats and called on its members to share evidence of crimes being downgraded. Management countered that the unions advanced the charge to gain advantage in contract negotiations.
6.) In 2005, four Broward County Deputy Sheriffs were fired for fudging crime stats. Denying any knowledge, the Sheriff used the false stats to convince municipalities to scrap their own police departments and contract with the BSO. He also used the stats in his political rise. An investigation revealed cover ups by BSO supervisors as well as pressures on front line officers to down-grade crimes or only charge one crime to a suspect who had admitted dozens.
7.) In 2010, more than half of 309 retired NYPD officers admitted to fudging crime stats in a survey conducted by two academicians from Molloy and John Jay Colleges. Most of the respondents served as precinct commanders after CompStat was implemented. They reported heavy pressure from higher-ups to reduce felonies to misdemeanors or to not report crimes at all to make the numbers look prettier.
8.) Fudged crime stats hit pop culture status with HBO's acclaimed series The Wire. Based on the Baltimore PD, one of the shows central themes was the pressure politicians put on police brass, who pass it on to the department's middle management, to generate PR-friendly statistics about lowering crime and increasing arrests.

Having more things does always equal a society in progression.
I think this self praise goes a long way in proving his point that as a society we are clueless.
No no.
By all means, please expound.
How forty drunks being shameless in a frat house compares to 10,000 LSU students chanting in a completely shameless manner "suck that Tiger Dick bitch" , I'll never know.
We were NOT a politically correct bunch and we were drunken degenerates at times. We were certainly idiots, but there was a sense of DECORUM that would be hard for you to undertsand. Coat and tie to ball games, a nightly dinner prayer, standing until our House Mom sat down first, endless stuff you wouldn't understand...
let's not act like 20-somethings proving old men wrong started celebrated doing that in my generation pretty sure that's been going on since societies started
No, I see a trend, not an anomaly.
Yes and invariably the 20 something's grow up and realize how right the older generations advise was at the time and how ignorant they were to see it.
I lived 200 feet away from the Deke House
In 1980, there were fewer than 2 million people in prison, in jail (awaiting trial or convicted of minor crimes), on parole or on probation in the United States. By 2010, that number had swelled to over 7 million people.

I am a Millennial, high school-college in the 0's. The Millennial view-point; Can't vote Democrat cuz their fiscal stance is abhorrent; can't vote Republican cuz they are in the stone age on their social issues, can't vote for another party cuz it's a wasted vote. Not that a vote will make any difference cuz the electoral college in most states is bought and paid for already; Register to vote and you get a jury duty summons the next week; Most consider social security a charitable contribution, that will bankrupt itself and they will never see. So solution= Don't vote; and they won't until some little issue pisses them off enough that, it might be worth it to try a system, that they know inherently doesn't work. Rather than put forth effort to change it, best course is to use what's available now as much as you can to your advantage. Most will not bother to sign-up for Obamacare, unless they can indeed get it for free (isn't a govt. sub. free? ), otherwise they'll crunch the math and pay the fine, only when they are forced to. Most will take those social programs, because hey it's available. I don't think they are disillusioned; I think they got a pretty good grip on reality; however they are erratic, emotional and live for what's flashy today, and what will best benefit me, they are individualistic and not communal driven, have no real faith in anything lasting, but as long as it's available today . Oh I forgot the ideal that, while we have no interest in solid issues, but we are very cause driven, more intelligent than most everyone and have an obligation to save the world from itself, but only if it can be done in 2-4hr. after that we get bored .

One of Americas dirty little secrets is that many programs are earmarked and tagged along to defense bills because lawmakers know that defense budgets will never get cut, all these pork barrel projects are piggybacked on top of defense budgets but have very little to do with defense...
All you have to do is look at all the Congresspersons that have gone to jail, how many are usually tied into defense contracts..Biggest waste of taxpayer money along with entitlement educational programs which are a smokescreen for welfare
Excellent story in this week's Forbes On-line. They refer to Millennials as First Globals.
"First Globals are the antidote to the current gridlock and to the current players who dominate that world. This is not good news for either political party, although it is worse for the Republicans. Recent polling of First Globals by Zogby Analytics reveals the path forward they are likely to take. Back in the early 1970s, French intellectual Jean-Francois Revel wrote a bestseller about the 1968 European and American revolutionaries entitled Without Marx or Jesus. I think we are seeing a new group of First Globals as present-day revolutionaries who will proceed without Democrats and Republicans, without liberals or conservatives. "

Korg Mono/Poly
A cool analog monophonic/polyphonic from Korg. It has 4 VCO's which can be shared in 4-voice Polyphonic mode, or linked in Unison for a versatile monophonic lead. Each VCO has its own level, tune, and waveform type control. Waveforms include triangle, sawtooth, variable pulse wave. It has a great VCF (filter) section as well as 2 envelope generators (one for the oscillators and one for the filter). There are also 2 individual LFO's which can be used to modulate the Pulse Width, envelope and Arpeggiator independently.
A very flexible and fun synth. Other cool tricks up its sleeve include chord memory and an effects mode in which oscillators have a variety of ways to be synced. The built-in arpeggiator and sequencer can run all 4 VCO's at a time or cycle through each voice per note! There's also portamento, CV/Gate, VCF and VCO mod inputs, white noise generator, and the pitch/mod wheels can be assigned to control LFO, pitch or the filter. Its sound quality is nice and very Korg. This synth is used by Hardfloor, Tangerine Dream, The Orb, 808 State, Juno Reactor, Megaton Matt Haines, Freddy Fresh, and the Chemical Brothers.

Nice to get a final look at Travis Kelce, Connor Vernon and Sean Renfree tonight. Think Camerron Cheatham may be worth keeping an eye on although he appears to not be covering Vernon.

Re: Margus
I think what's missing is just experience. When his job isn't to rush the passer, he kind of goes into a "crane up and observe" mode. He'll get really high and look at what's happening before taking an action instead of just flowing naturally, by instinct, to the play. Best case is he turns into the Estonian version of Jason Pierre-Paul-- a freakish, but totally raw athlete. Worst case is he replaces Tony McDaniel on the roster for depth while making solid ST contributions like Olivier Vernon did this season.
Hopefully teams will shy away from picking him after seeing the limitations of Dontari Poe's impact on the Chiefs. But, like Poe, I can see Hunt shooting up the boards and I'm afraid for our chances to pick him up since he'll probably have a similarly meteoric rise after he blows up the combine.
Margus has incredible explosion, length, and balance-- three things that translate well to the position. Though they canned the track team because of Title 9 rules, SMU had the best throwers in the country at the time. Don't underestimate him just because he comes from a track background. They're all freak athletes with speed, flexibility, and they were all bull strong to boot.
That said, I'm looking forward to the Senior Bowl. :)
If he is admittedly so far behind everyone else in the Draft...and he's 26 years old...how long does he realistically have to catch up?
That's something to consider, yeah.
vernon looks like a mid to late round guy to me that could surprise or could be out of the league or making his living on specials in a few...don't see anything high end there...ceiling to me as a prospect is a #3 wr type stuff...we got plenty of them...as such i pass...but i also won't put it past him making a pretty good living in the pros...just doesn't do enough for me for what miami needs....
didn't see much from renfree that pick he threw into coverage down the sideline was a ghastly decision...just can't throw that against that coverage...should have come off that given that safety leverage presnap...
margus huntsn age means instead of having to jump on that with your high 2nd rounder if he's a target you can probably get that a little later like late round 3 or maybe even round 4...if he was a target at that age though i wouldn't personally wait past that late 3rd rounder...i think about then is when the age won't matter anymore...if he blows the doors off the senior bowl in reps and looks like he does off the edge on college tape all bets are off
central michigan ot eric fisher is a 1st round talent offensive tackle...i don't see terrific feet for the left side in pass pro...his kick slide looks a little labored to me at times...feet remind me of jake long in a lot of ways...he's murder in the run game showing off terrific upper body and hand strength he moves guys off the ball routinely...funny thing is while i don't see great feet i do see outstanding ability to pull and get to the 2nd level in a hurry and he'll make solid sustained contact...at times he can drop his head when asked to move block and as such get off balance and go to ground but he looks like a real athlete and moves very well down the field...in pass pro i see a tendency at times to let the defender dictate the contact and to wait on guys and that's fine provided he doesn't get so upright off the snap i see some tendency to get vertical in pass pro and as such guys get under his pad level but he shows off a nice ability to recover and anchor and sit down vs get pushed straight back into the qb...
i don't think i'd take him over jake matthews who i think is a terrific zbs fit and fisher might be a better fit for a power scheme but i do think he's a top 25 worthy selection in the upcoming draft...and a likely day 1 starting tackle...feet may though mean he's more a right tackle fit down the road...
Just a side note for Hoops CK and Slim..........thanks for all your input guy's keep up the great work.
I see a lot of posters talking about Bacarri Rambo as a must-have player from the draft to replace Clemons, and then they mock him to the third/fourth. I haven't seen anything on him, so I'm not sure which to believe. Is he a must-have/immediate starter over CC, or is he a mid-round prospect with some flaws?
Of course, I'm sure there are those that would argue that a mid-round prospect with flaws beats Clemons hands down... :deadhorse:
alex okafor showing well tonight as a pass rusher...helping me feel more and more confident about why i like him off the edge in the pros as a top 50 guy...doesn't wow you with anything tools wise but just something about him i think will make him a solid producer in the pros...can't even put my finger on it...not a great get off not great acceleration or burst after the initial step but just very effective...
that said in the run game i think he's a guy that gets moved out of the hole at the poa too much...not stout enough...maybe some of that is he's in such a hurry to get upfield he forgets about contain responsibilities vs the run but i see him giving huge lanes in the b gap for backs to just run right into too much...i'd say at least initially i'd use him sparingly in a rotation on early downs and get him on the field on 3rd down as a pass rush specialist...it's weird i'm usually all about pass rush physical tools when it comes to who i like and this kid doesn't have elite anything but he just keeps showing me something every time i watch texas play...

It's time to unveil the winners of the [Plus] readers choice awards!
Thank you again for your votes, remember that the real winner was the community, again.
I asked you to vote for what you used in 2012 and you've voted with your heart.
Here are the final results, congrats to the lucky guys and teams :
The most useful blogs in 2012 :
Ok, the Percona team members provides the best technical blog about MySQL (and more), this year again. Of course, this blog is very useful and interesting, I recommend to read the comments too, they are often very informative.
There is a lot of work behind this blog, so, its popularity is deserved.
But wait, I'm sure these 3 teams (Percona + MariaDB + SkySQL) represents 80% of the whole MySQL DBAs around the world.
So, let me congratulate independent bloggers for their active involvement and for their sincerity.
The most useful forum in 2012 :
I really like stackoverflow, not only for my MySQL issues, activity on these forums is impressive!
And I'm not surprised to see Twitter in second position, I've already written about how I use Twitter.
My advice about Twitter : choose your friends sparingly (if you would read all the tweets that you receive every day)
best MySQL event in 2012 :
I attended the last two editions of Percona Live at London and these events were incredibly good.
I assume that the MySQL Conference was really interesting but too far for poor European guys…
I was at FOSDEM for the first time this year and it was very exciting. I was very glad to see Percona, MariaDB and Oracle together.
If you've never been at FOSDEM, I recommend you to join us next year, this is truly a magical event!
What would you like to test in 2013?
Galera Replication was popularized by Percona and MariaDB last year.
But the guys from Codership works on this project over many years. This is a very ambitious project that deserves to be tested.
And it has become easier than ever since Galera was packaged by Percona and MariaDB.
MySQL 5.6 is now GA! It's time to forget your brand new MySQL 5.5 upgrades…
MariaDB is now part of a foundation that ensures the open source nature of MySQL.
Now, you have to make a choice between MySQL 5.6, Percona server 5.6 (not yet released) and MariaDB 10.
However, I'm still a bit skeptical about the ambiguous Monty's declarations on the compatibility between MariaDB and the future releases of Oracle MySQL.
But it's only my opinion and don't undermine the great job provided by the Monty program team on MariaDB.
Thank you again for your participation, find all the results here.
And I hope to see you in real life this year…

Lourdes Hospital and Binghamton University Athletics Team Up Once Again to Present the 4th Annual Celebrating Women's Athletics Luncheon
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Lourdes Hospital and Binghamton University Athletics will host the 4th Annual Lourdes/ Bearcats Celebrating Women's Athletics Luncheon at noon on Monday, February 2, 2009, at the Binghamton University Events Center.
Held each year to recognize the achievements of Binghamton University's female student-athletes, the luncheon also raises awareness of the benefits of collegiate athletic competition.
"As a former athlete, I am very committed to supporting women's sports," said Binghamton University President Lois B. DeFleur. "Studies demonstrate a definite link between women's athletic participation and leadership qualities. Young women learn focus and discipline as well as the important balance between cooperation and competition, which all contribute to their future success. But perhaps most important is that athletics encourages girls and women to be risk takers. And taking risks is an important part of developing our full potential-- and a crucial characteristic of good leadership."
"Lourdes is proud to join Binghamton University again this year in its commitment to our area's female athletes," said John D. O'Neil, president and CEO of Lourdes Hospital. "We share the University's mission to nurture the mind, body and spirit of young women and are pleased to be a part of this event."
The event, which attracted 300 campus and community leaders and supporters last year, raised over $20,000 to support the BUAC Women's Scholarship Fund. The scholarship was established in 2007 and is awarded annually to a deserving female student-athlete. The luncheon began in 2006 with just 75 attendees, and is today one of the athletics department's primary fundraisers.
Binghamton University Athletic Club President Patty Bloomer said," Binghamton University is an outstanding center of higher learning and the Binghamton University Athletic Club has long supported our student athletes. For the past several years, the Women's Committee of the BUAC has been particularly proud to present our "Celebrating Women's Athletics Luncheon" to raise money to pay for scholarships for our female student athletes. It is my pleasure to urge you to attend this lively occasion which features great food, great speakers and a fine opportunity for you to continue to provide for scholarships for our first-rate female athletes."
This year, Olympian and president-elect of the Women's Sports Foundation, Jessica Mendoza, will be the guest speaker at the luncheon. Mendoza is an All-American softball player who won a gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics and won silver at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She was a four-time first team All-American at Stanford University from 1999-2002 and was named Softball player of the year in 2006. Mendoza was an ESPN commentator for the 2007 and 2008 Women's College World Series and also represented the United States as an Athlete Ambassador for Team Darfur, helping to create awareness for the ongoing crisis in this region of Sudan.
"I am thrilled to come to Binghamton University to not only share, but celebrate the importance of female athletics," says Mendoza.
Luncheon attendees will have the opportunity to meet current Bearcats student-athletes and coaches from the women's teams, hear current and former Binghamton University student-athletes speak about the role athletics has played in their development, careers and life, and bid on terrific auction items.
The luncheon, which is open to the public, is held each February as part of a series of national celebratory events surrounding National Girls and Women in Sports Day. National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD) began in 1986 as a day to honor the achievements of all female athletes and recognize the positive influence of sports participation. Tickets are $35. Contact Linda Reynolds at 607-777-4558 for more information.

About Jessica Mendoza:
Almost every Olympic Games, no matter what sport and which athlete, feels like it could potentially be the last opportunity for the unique honor and acclaim bestowed by an Olympic medal. After the International Olympic Committee elected to remove softball from the upcoming 2012 Olympic Games in London, that sentiment especially rang true for Jessica Mendoza and the U.S. National Women's Softball Team. Fortunately, Mendoza and the U.S. softball team can look back in pride at what might be their last Olympic appearance—they won silver at this year's Olympic Games in Beijing and joined their fellow Olympians from Japan and Australia in laying softballs in the shape of "2016" on the field making a statement for softball to be brought back to the 2016 Olympic Games.
The journey to the 2008 Olympic Games began for Mendoza in September 2007 when she was officially named to the Olympic roster for 2008. Immediate Olympic preparation began in February on the team's 60-game KFC Bound 4 Beijing U.S. Tour. Throughout this pre-Olympic tour Mendoza had an unbelievable batting average of .495, with 102 hits, 107 runs batted in and 21 home runs. During the tour, the team played in more than 45 cities, for crowds of 200,000-plus people, setting a new tour record.
Playing on the prestigious U.S. team, Mendoza was selected to bat third. As Olympic coach Mike Candrea emphasized, "To hit third in our order is quite an honor. She (Mendoza) has the quickest hands of anyone I've seen. She's stronger, she's gotten quicker, and she's gotten smarter." Mendoza used her strength, speed and knowledge to help lead her team to the silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games with batting an average of .333 in 24 at bats, including four home runs. In the overall Olympic statistics she was in a three-way tie for first in stolen bases, ranked second in runs and third in runs batted in.
Mendoza won a gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics and adds to her softball experience with her participation on the ProFastpitch X-Treme Tour. She not only proves to be a dynamic player on the field but also brings eagerness and energy to her involvement in the sport off of the field. Mendoza is the president-elect of the Women's Sports Foundation and currently serves as a member of the Board of Trustees (elected 2005). She serves on the Finance and Legal Committee and the Athlete Relations Committee and is featured in the Women's Sports Foundation's GoGirlGo! educational curriculum used to impact the lives of young girls all over the United States. She was an ESPN commentator for the 2007 and 2008 Women's College World Series. Mendoza has also represented the United States as an Athlete Ambassador for Team Darfur, helping to create awareness for the ongoing crisis in this region of Sudan. She has raised $15,000 for children in Africa by joining on as an ambassador for Right to Play during the Olympic Games in Beijing. Also, in January, she was chosen as one of five Olympians to participate in the U.S. Army's Goodwill Tour of Afghanistan.
During her senior year at Stanford, Jessica was one of the top 25 selections for the 2002 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year and also was the Speedline Invitational championship's Most Valuable Player. In May of 2002, Mendoza was named a National Fastpitch Coaches Association/Louisville Slugger All-American for the fourth time at the Women's College World Series banquet. In her final season, she was one of three Stanford seniors named to the 2002 Division I All-Pacific Region squad. She garnered first-team All-Pac-10 accolades for four years straight and led the Cardinals team to its first Women's College World Series appearance in her junior year.
During her sophomore season, Mendoza was named the Pac-10 Player of the Year, making her the first Stanford athlete to achieve this feat. As a freshman, she was named the Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year. That season she shattered the school's single-season records for home runs, batting average, hits and doubles. Mendoza graduated from Stanford in the spring of 2002 with a degree in American studies and a master's degree in social sciences in education.

Absolutely nauseating, in case anyone caught the Newsweek editor on MSNBC's Hardball (which they should rename softball) with Chris Matthews. Between this and Brian Williams' obsequious nose-up-the-butt
series on Obomo this fawning media lovefest grows worse daily. Has the media now become like the North Korean press reporting on Kim Jong Il?
I found a much more realistic description of Dear Leader's latest junket HERE now granted I know it's an op-ed piece, but I happen to agree with it, especially the, ahem, "ironies" the author, Ralph Peters, points out about Dear Leader's revisionist history:So OK, we'd like to hope Obomo, decked out in his dookie chain that he bowed to receive from Saudi King Abdullah's peeps, fared a little better in Europe but I hear Sarkozy's peeved the Obomos stood him up for din-din in Paris.Women can dress any way they want in Saudi Arabia. Just my analysis, based on Obama's insistence that Islam recognizes "the dignity of all human beings" and that Muslim women must be free to make their own decisions about what to wear. Surely, fashion choices extend to Mecca and Medina, not just Detroit and Paris?
"Islam has always been a part of America's story." Guess the Founding Fathers missed that one. But I'm assured that George Washington turned to his mullah in the dark days at Valley Forge, that Daniel Boone read the Koran around the campfire, and that al Qaeda stood by us at the Alamo.
Yeah, there was that misunderstanding with the Muslim Barbary Pirates, when they killed, kidnapped and enslaved American citizens for years - but who's perfect?
There are "nearly seven million American Muslims." Who knew? We all thought there were three or four million, max. Is this a preview of the predetermined results of our upcoming census? [Note to editor: Confirm numbers with ACORN.]
"It was not violence that won full and equal rights" for black Americans. So much for the Civil War and my ancestor, who volunteered to wear Union blue and paid for it with his life. I thought a half-million Americans died fighting to end slavery. Silly me. Still, it was brave of our president to highlight slavery's "lash of the whip" in his speech, since his own ancestors, as Muslims along Africa's Swahili Coast, would have been complicit - if not actively engaged - in enslaving their fellow black Africans for Arab masters. As a self-proclaimed "student of history," Obama surely knows that.
Holocaust, schmolocaust.
Aren't those pesky Jews ever going to go away? Yes, denying the Holocaust is "hateful." But let's get a grip. Palestinians "endure . . . daily humiliations." Their lot's "intolerable." Israel "devastates Palestinian families." No wonder our president shunned wicked Israel during his trip - sending a clear, if unspoken, message that Jews are now fair game.
"America's strong bonds with Israel are . . . unbreakable." Yup. And they're issued by Chrysler.
And about that dookie chain and pendant: I think someone else had a go at extremely tacky and tasteless gifting. Check out the gift from Saudi Arabia; it's pretty generally agreed even by a black reporter in the Washington Post that this ghetto fab necklace looks like something a rap star, pimp or drug dealer would wear (LOL).
Who besides me think this was intentional?

First day of free agency and its breaking news. Mike Wallace is on a plane flying to miami to meet with ireland and philbin. How do you feel?
First day of free agency and its breaking news. Mike Wallace is on a plane flying to miami to meet with ireland and philbin. How do you feel?
well this is the weekend where things like that come to fruition..agents and teams exchange numbers and get a good feel for whats available to their players...but getting them on the plane means you are in their market the main thing though is once they are there getting them to sign obviously...and that doesn't always happen
I don't like this guy for the $12m per he will probably demand. However, if Cleveland and Miami get into a bidding war, Miami dominantly has the upper hand. Miami and Cleveland city-wise are incomparable and in completely different leagues. I could see Wallace accepting $1.5-$2m less just to come here over Cleveland. I have been wrong before, but we'll definitely see what happens. This man will likely not last a week into free agency.
LOL Cleveland would hate us if we got Wallace over them. It's the Decision all over again!
Miami Dolphins '13: 0-0-0
I would be hoping they don't over pay him. Thats what I would be thinking.
I'll be excited when the breaking news is "Mike Wallace and the Miami Dolphins have come to terms on a blah blah blah deal worth blah blah blah dollars"
I would have 3 of miami's finest show Wallace what he can have. Offer him $10M per season and tell him he can keep the girls for motivation.
It's not my money so I could careless about the contract.
My first thought would be "**** yeah Ginger man!"
My second thought would be "it's a shame I can't buy his jersey. ****ing Mike Dee".
And lastly " please don't pick #19"

So many Tie Fighters...
Sadly, my hopes that they would somehow go on clearance at TRU to allow me to build a modest fleet never materialized. Maybe someday Target, land of the inevitable clearance, will get them as exclusives.
It is pretty sweet but what is with all the TIE's? Just for s**ts and giggles?
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!

Samuel Clanton
doctoral dissertation, tech. report CMU-RI-TR-11-21, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, July, 2011
|This thesis describes a brain-computer interface (BCI) system that was developed to allow direct cortical control of 7 active degrees of freedom in a robotic arm. Two monkeys with chronic microelectrode implants in their motor cortices were able to use the arm to complete an oriented grasping task under brain control. This BCI system was created as a clinical prototype to exhibit (1) simultaneous decoding of cortical signals for control of the 3-D translation, 3-D rotation, and 1-D finger aperture of a robotic arm and hand, (2) methods for constructing cortical signal decoding models based on only observation of a moving robot, (3) a generalized method for training subjects to use complex BCI prosthetic robots using a novel form of operator-machine shared control, and (4) integrated kinematic and force control of a brain-controlled prosthetic robot through a novel impedance-based robot controller. This dissertation describes each of these features individually, how their integration enriched BCI control, and results from the monkeys operating the resulting system.

Spent the last w'end (Canadian Thanksgiving) working on the
sum of my existance for the last four years. My introduction
to LaTeX and other documentation systems is going swimingly
(as in I'm still managing to keep my head above water.
mostly). Am glad to report that I am about to work on the
last table for the document tonight, perhaps finishing it.
TODO: add graphics, rework citations. The more I use latex,
the more I like it. Granted, the learning curve is
substantial and it helps to have good documentation (and
colleagues online who can answer questions). That said, with
time and a bit of forethought, I'm starting to be fairly
well equipped to start on the phd after this is done (yes,
even after all of this shit).
That pretty much all of the news for now. I'm catching up on my sleep, er, reading rfcs and other neat docs. :) I'm learning a lot about the more interesting aspects of system administration; I hope to get my hands really dirty in a coding project soon (or many, for that matter). I've been watching with great interest how some acquaintances have set up personal, db-based web sites. Pretty impressive, I must say. I can see some ways in which a lot more could be done tho, and I've started sketching out what I'd like to see in a more focused site. Stay tuned.
Back to thesis.
Oh, but before I do...
And in other news, said credit card company bozos have
decided to send me a platinum card application. Maybe if I
write them back something really imaginative ("addressee
used as stunt double for polar bear scenes on Chilly Beach"
or something) they'll send me one for a titanium card.
yeah. right. :)

Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) with QCAD
QCAD/CAM is a CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) add-on for QCAD, the Open Source 2D CAD system. The QCAD/CAM software includes every tool and feature that QCAD Professional has - but in addition it also has some CAM specific tools to export drawings to machine readable file formats such as G-Code. Such files are usually used to control computer controlled machines (CNC) such as milling machines, engraving machines, LASER cutting machines, plasma cutting machines or water jet cutting machines.
QCAD/CAM is a new version of the software that you might have previously known as CAM Expert.
Maximum Flexibility
While QCAD/CAM is specialized in generating CAM specific output for use on a CNC machine, it can be configured to generate virtually any output from any given CAD file. This is made possible through our new ECMAScript based output configuration. The output can not merely be configured - instead, the output filter is programmed in ECMAScript. This opens a vast number of possibilities for QCAD/CAM users. The output can be configured to produce G-Code, G-Code dialects or other open or proprietary, even binary formats. If the specification is known, it can be produced.
Main Features
QCAD/CAM adds the following features and tools to QCAD:
- CAM Export - Export CAD drawing to configurable CAM output (for example G-Code)
- Optimizations
- Identify connected entities (paths) and cut them without interruption
- Path optimization (reduce tool movement)
- Force orientation of closed paths to clockwise or counter-clockwise
- Cut nested paths from inside to outside (usually used for sheet metal cutting)
- Interpolations
- Interpolate splines as line segments
- Interpolate ellipses as arc segments
- Interpolate TrueType font texts as arcs and line segments
- Optionally process full circles as two halves
- User defined, layer specific parameters (e.g. cutting depth per layer)
- Automatically add ramp-in, ramp-off from center (typically used for cutting Gerber imports)
- G-Code import

18 Jamaicans for Special Olympics
KINGSTON, Jamaica (JIS) - Eighteen Jamaican athletes will participate in the 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, from January 29 to February 5.
The delegation, led by Glendon West, will be the largest ever to participate in the games for athletes with intellectual disabilities, over the past 30 years. The 18 -member team will compete in floor hockey and figure skating.
Addressing a media briefing at the Alhambra Inn in Kingston yesterday, Minister without portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister with responsibility for Sports, Natalie Neita Headley, lauded all of Jamaica's successes in sports during 2012.
"There really can be no competition, no sport, no activity that better exemplifies true sportsmanship than what happens with Special Olympics," she said. "From the onset, the Special Olympics have helped to change attitudes and break down barriers that excluded people with intellectual disabilities from the mainstream of the community and from sport at its most competitive levels."
Of the Jamaican team, the Neita Headley pointed out that, "these young men and women are not to be taken lightly…they are true athletes that have spent enormous amounts of time training and honing their minds and spirits to meet the challenges of global competition".
She said other athletes could learn from the Special Olympics team, as they have shown that they can participate in varying sporting disciplines.
"Going to Rio 2016, I wish for the example shown here by the Special Olympics team to be adopted by all Olympians and aspiring Olympians, that the sky is the limit," she stated.
Neita Headley noted that the National Sports Policy white paper, which has been submitted to Cabinet, speaks specifically to Jamaica's commitment to sport for all.
"I wholeheartedly embrace the principle that sport is a human right for all individuals regardless of race, social class, gender, or disability," she told the gathering of athletes and other sporting interests.

You are here
Competitors put their best foot forward during the second annual Leslie McCravy Memorial Race on Saturday, September 11. Runners gathered bright and early for the 5K run at the Edwin S. Taylor Fishing Pier on Folly Beach, where they were cheered on by an enthusiastic crowd of pet lovers and furry friends. The horn sounded loud in the morning air and everyone hit the pavement, with several four-legged athletes racing alongside their human companions.
Less than 16 minutes later, ABC News 4's meteorologist Neville Miller stepped over the finish line and claimed his second consecutive first place win to wild applause. His fellow runners were not far behind, and human and canine contestants alike finished their race before joining the crowd.
Everyone gradually made their way under the pier for water, energizing snacks, and conversation before the awards ceremony. Proceeds from the event benefited Pet Helpers, a local, private nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing animals, promoting pet adoption, and ending euthanasia of adoptable animals throughout the Lowcountry.
The Leslie McCravy Memorial Race celebrates the life of Leslie McCravy, whose life ended both tragically and unexpectedly in 2007. McCravy is remembered by all as a beautiful, vibrant individual, and the annual event honors her memory.

Well, It's coming together finally. I spent most of the
weekend painting and cleaning. My bedroom ceiling and walls
have been painted and the carpet has been cleaned.
I have been cleaning up the HD of my desktop system by
moving important but usually unaltered info onto Zip Disks.
Speaking of the desktop, it's definitely time to consider a
new motherboard, processor and memory. Everything else can
wait for a little longer. The P200 has just about had it.
I have recently picked up an interest in the SEUL/EDU project. I may
be starting a project aimed at school accounting. I
have found that most software designed for use in a school
system is mostly crap. You would not believe the crap that
is sold for thousands of dollars to school systems every
For example, the accounting software that we currently have
was coded in Microsoft FoxPro and has the most horrible interface.
The app can crash very easily because the code has
hard-coded window positions. So if you set your resolution
to 800x600 on some machines the app crashes with an error
stating that the window would be off the screen. The whole
program looks like it was thrown together in a couple day's
time. It's really that bad.
Well, I am going to end it there for now. I will continue
this later.

Basement / Crawl Space Dehumidifiers
Basement Dehumidifiers Keep the Indoor Air Clean & Dry in the Smallest of Spaces
Indoor air quality plays a huge role in determining how comfortable and welcoming your home environment is. When most people think of means of improving their indoor air quality, they may not think of using crawlspace or basement dehumidifiers. These machines dry air out by cooling it to a lower temperature, which forces water vapor to condense, before bringing the air back to room temperature. In spaces where circulation is limited, such as basements and crawlspaces, the effects of a dehumidifier can be very noticeable and beneficial.
Improvements in personal health can be one of the biggest benefits of crawlspace and basement dehumidifiers. Controlling your home humidity levels can help you enjoy clean, breathable air instead of musty air full of potentially harmful microorganisms. When humidity levels are too high, mold and mildew may take root in your basement. When these fungi grow, they release spores into the air, which can lead to respiratory health issues, including asthma and allergic reactions. Even for people who do not have allergies, mold and mildew may lead bring about uncomfortable symptoms, including headaches, skin irritation, and eye irritation. Using a dehumidifier creates an environment that does not support mold or mildew growth. A dry environment also discourages dust mites, which, like mold and mildew, may contribute to allergies and respiratory problems.
Aside from offering health benefits, basement and crawlspace dehumidifiers can do wonders when it comes to improving your home environment. Using a dehumidifier benefits your wallpaper, paint, wood floors, and even wood furniture, which can become warped or stained when exposed to excessive humidity. A crawlspace or basement dehumidifier will also make your basement feel more like a finished part of the home, rather than a half-forgotten extension. You'll feel more comfortable when you use the space, and you may even spend less on your energy bills during the summer, since air feels cooler when it contains less moisture.
We carry various options to meet your needs, whether you need to dehumidify a small, enclosed area or an entire floor. We stock compact portable dehumidifiers that work perfectly for smaller rooms. We also carry larger basement dehumidifiers that can remove dozens of pints of moisture from the air daily, ensuring that your basement air stays as dry as you want it to. If portability and access are concerns, you will appreciate our selection of dehumidifiers that do not need to be hooked up to an HVAC system or drain outlet. If you want a dehumidifier that can continue running while you are at work or out of town, meanwhile, we offer models with hoses built in that can be set up for convenient automatic drainage.
Whether you are concerned with your health, comfort, or general home environment, a dehumidifier represents a smart investment. It's easy to convert your basement area into a more clean, comfortable, and welcoming part of your home.

1) Many Liberals feel the Constitution is a living document in the sense that anything they THINK doesn't fit their ideals anymore can jsut be erased. Also, amny of them don't know what the Constitution SAYS, and have never read it, don't care to, and also don't care what it says.
2) The bottom line, with or without a Constitution, the People of Australia have NO right to the freedom of owning guns. Do you think if President Obama, or anyone else in power ever passed a "I'm going to take all your guns and ammo" law, it would matter if we have/had a Constitution or not?
I don't think so either JD. Thanks for your thoughts.

I received an genuine Arduino UNO R3 today from Newegg->CE Compass. I connected it to my laptop USB and 2 of the 'reddest' led's came on, and the unfamiliar 'connection failure' sound effect as well. I thought 'new defective'! After a bit I hopped into the device manager and saw this new 'unknown device'.Sure enough, I had to re-run the driver update dialog. It DID recognize this weird UNO R3, runs the examples, but it still HAS RED LEDS! Is this a new run?
Well, I guess I can't prove you are the 'genuine' Lefty either. However, the device came in a bulk pack, much like what I've come to think is the OEM method of shipping hard drives, memory chips et al. The back of the 'Genuine UNO' has 0119494v-0 in the upper right hand corner. This one does not. Everything else (component p/n's, silkscreening, made in Italy, matches. Certainly a price performer and a more authentic feel than the OSEPP clone.
Well, excuse me for posting.
Your 'tone' was condescending, and I don't think that's what is intended on the forum.

I was reading in the .Net Magazine issue that I've got sitting in my bathroom a little about Yahoo! Pipes. Pipes is a powerful composition tool to aggregate, manipulate, and mashup content from around the web. Pipes can be used to combine a bunch of different feeds into one easy to manage feed that users can sort, filter and even geocode.
Looking at screenshots and video it looks a LOT like database software (for instance Microsoft Access). I wonder if Pipes can be combined with Yahoo! Query Language (YQL) since it all looks pretty database-y (why yes, that is a technical term!) The difference is that Pipes looks really easy and has a lot of drag-and-drop options. Doesn't look like you really need to be a database programmer to use it.
Yahoo pipes sounds really neat – are any of my readers currently using it? I think it might be a cool idea to get some real, useable content onto my 'military blog'. The blog has been really lacking lately due to the fact that I really have zero clue what to use it for. I like posting news items and reviews of products and companies that support the military, but I think it needs more.
I'm thinking of trying out Pipes. I will let you know how it goes 🙂

Thats another reason I no longer call myself a Republican. I see many wishing this country would fail, or be struck again, just to get in a big "I told ya so" ever since losing control of the house, senate, and white house.
I'm not accusing anyone on this list, but it seems implicit in some of the comments.
I certainly hope you are WRONG on this account. Otherwise me and millions of other veterans and active duty troops have really pissed away years of our life serving and sacrificing for this great country, in hopes we can pass it on to our kids.
Despite the above comments, I'm having a wonderful 4th, and hope others do also!

I'd hardly call the oil industry a "free market" when only 4 or 5 gigantic multinational corporations are involved. They're also responsible for having certain quotas in place that kill any chance of competition, and hence, the possiblity of lower prices.
Not to mention that we're quite simply running out of the stuff. It's a finite world with finite resources, folks. Get used to it.
