By The Associated Press
ANGOLA, La. — Billy Cannon's family said the former LSU Heisman Trophy winner was hospitalized Tuesday after suffering a stroke.
In an emailed statement, the family said Cannon, 75, "is alert and resting."
"He did have a stroke and the doctors will conduct tests to see the extent. They will keep him in ICU tonight and watch him overnight," the statement said. "The family thanks everyone for their prayers and concerns."
Cannon was transported by ambulance from the state penitentiary at Angola at about 12:30 p.m., said Cathy Fontenot, a spokeswoman for the prison.
Cannon has been director of the prison's dental program for about 15 years.
He won the 1959 Heisman Trophy after starring at LSU. He went on to a successful pro career in the American Football League with the Houston Oilers and Oakland Raiders, and after football went to dental school.
In 1983, Cannon was arrested on federal counterfeiting charges. He ultimately pleaded guilty, served half of a five-year sentence and came out broke. Though tarnished for a time, Cannon's reputation has been rebuilt through his work at the penitentiary, where he tries to serve as a positive example for inmates, and through his routine participation in LSU events.

I have so many friends with new iPads that I thought I'd make custom screensavers for each. This one is for my daughter (it is a pic of my grand dog!) I now use this as the basic template for each of the screensavers---just change the photo! The paper/elements are from this month's SG Club; I adore this collection!

With the recent assertion by SCO's chief counsel that `The GPL is invalid' based on an clearly absurd interpretation of copyright law, their case has completely severed what few strands of credibility it once possessed. Some people still argue that this is an important lawsuit, because of the possibility of related actions. This is to neglect the useful lawyer's maxim that bad cases make bad law. I don't think that significant precedents on IP will come from this farce, and the only non-prurient interest I see left is to understand why a well-regarded law firm like Boies, Schiller and Flexner has let its reputation be abused in this way.
Voting machines
Bram argued in his 13th August diary entry against the accuracy of electronic voting machines: in my last post, I tacitly made the assumption that if electronic voting systems are ever deployed, they will perform better than mechanical systems under normal circumstances. I realise that there are grounds to believe this an optimistic assumption; still it is important to bear in mind how bad mechanical systems are: apparently almost 1 in 30 votes is miscast or ignored. Also, there is no reason why electronic voting should not create a paper trail, although, I agree, most current proposals do not.
Bram's minefield
In Bram's 6th August entry Bram introduces a `game' played over ZFC: even in the simplified case of large cardinal axioms (LCAs), there may be no fact of the matter of which is stronger: if you look at the diagram of important LCAs in Kanamori's "The Higher Infinite", they form a partial order, not a linear order (I don't know whether this reflects known independence results or just ignorance). I do think as a kind of thought experiment, your exercise is illuminating; I like to think about how different mathematical pholosophy might be if results came to known in different order, might we regard a much weaker or stronger set theory as the default?
The Knight's Tour I
First in a series of posts on a combinatoric problem. A knights tour of an MxN chessboard is a sequence of squares of the board, where there is a valid knight's moves between each square and its successor, and where each square of the chessboard occurs exactly once. The tour is closed if its first square can be reached from its last. Can you prove that there are no solutions for 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 boards, or closed solutions for the 5x5 board?
Erratum: The original version of this entry asked to prove there are no solutions to 5x5 boards, which is false: there are solutions, only no closed solutions.

In 1971, President Richard Nixon declared a war on cancer. Through the National Cancer Act, he established the first presidential panel on cancer and charged them to submit an annual report on cancer in the US.
Photo by wild prairie man
This year, the presidential panel has said that environmental factors are more responsible for the rising cancer rates than previously believed. Dr. Philip Landrigan told ABC news that "for the past 30 years, there has been systemic effort to minimize the importance of environmental factors and carcinogenesis…This report marks a sea change."
Some of the hazardous exposure detailed in the report include pesticides, fertilizers, pharmaceutical byproducts in water supplies, household chemicals, and emissions from cars, trucks, and planes. The panel urges the Obama administration to put more funding in for research of environmental toxins.

Before we chat with today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the signed copy of Debra Ullrick's novel, The Unlikely Wife, is:
hisfiction@ . . .
Congratulations! I'll contact you today for your snail mail address, and we'll get your book to you right away. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right (above my list of books) in order to participate in future book give-aways!
Now let's meet novelist Jody Hedlund, author of The Doctor's Lady (Bethany House, September 2011).
Jody Hedlund is an award-winning historical romance novelist and author of the best-selling book, The Preacher's Bride. She received a bachelor's degree from Taylor University and a master's from the University of Wisconsin, both in Social Work.
Currently she makes her home in Michigan with her husband and five busy children.
Please tell us five random things we might not know about you.
--My most memorable meal is apple, blueberry, cherry pie—for breakfast.
--If I had to swim across a lake of any kind of beverage, it would be coffee.
--My dad was a twin, my husband's mom was a twin, and we had twins.
--I grew up a PK (pastor's kid).
--My favorite TV Show is Survivor and I've watched almost every season since it started.
I'm like you, but with The Amazing Race. I don't think I've ever missed it, thanks to my trusty DVR.
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of The Doctor's Lady.
Priscilla White knows she'll never be a wife or mother and feels God's call to the mission field.
Dr. Eli Ernest is back from Oregon Country only long enough to raise awareness of missions to the natives before heading out West once more. But then Priscilla and Eli both receive news from the mission board: No longer will they send unmarried men and women into the field. Left scrambling for options, the two realize the other might be the answer to their needs.
Priscilla and Eli agree to a partnership, a marriage in name only that will allow them to follow God's leading into the mission field. But as they journey west, this decision will be tested by the hardships of the trip and by the unexpected turnings of their hearts.
What is it about Priscilla that will make your readers care about her?
Priscilla White isn't physically strong and she's a bit naïve, and yet she's determined and courageous. Her biggest weakness is her pride. At the beginning of the story she believes she is the perfect missionary candidate because of her piety, education, and upbringing. But during the dangerous trip, she begins to understand that when God chooses to use someone, he looks much deeper than a person's outward qualifications
If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?
Dr. Eli Ernest needs to be played by Kevin Costner whose rugged, scruffy look in Dances With Wolves is exactly the way I envisioned Dr. Ernest. Eli is a man full of passion and unafraid of danger, and yet willing to learn and grow through the challenges he faces.
Priscilla White needs to be played by Gwyneth Paltrow. Priscilla is a beautiful and elegant lady with Gwyneth's looks in Emma. She's not physically strong and she's a bit naïve, and yet she's determined and courageous.
Here's a hint for your well-to-do fans and loved ones: If you could have any one writing-related gift for Christmas this year, what would it be? The sky is the limit!
I'd love to hire a cleaning lady to come in once a week, a chef to cook meals, and a nanny to take care of the children in the afternoons during my writing time (after we're done with our homeschooling day). One can dream, can't they?
That's truly a writer's dream! I'd love that, too.
What are you working on now?
My next historical romance, Unending Devotion, releases in 2012. I'm really excited about this story because it's set in my home state of Michigan. It takes place during the 1880's at a time in history when the lumber era was at its height. Although the story isn't inspired by a true person the way my first two books have been, I do include several real people, particularly a real villain by the name of James Carr who was notorious in central Michigan for his violence and for introducing white slavery into the state.
The heroine of the story is a young woman, Lily Young, who is looking for her sister who's caught up into the degradation of lumber camp life. While Lily searches for her missing sister, she fights against the evil that runs rampant around her, and she fights not to lose her heart to the lumber baron who turns a blind eye to the lawlessness of the lumber business.
That sounds intriguing, Jody. And I like that you incorporate real historical figures into your stories.
Where else can readers find you online?
I hang out on Facebook here: Author Jody Hedlund
I also love to chat on Twitter: @JodyHedlund
My home base is at my website: www.jodyhedlund.com
The book can be purchased at fine book stores and online via the following buttons:
Finally, what question would you like to ask my readers?

IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement)
The majority of our IVA customers could end up paying back less than 50% of their unsecured debts*
That's not all - choose an IVA with Debt Free Direct and you won't pay upfront fees.
What is an IVA?
If you have more than £9,000 of debt an IVA, or Individual Voluntary Arrangement, may be the right option for you. It's an alternative to bankruptcy that could write off up to 65% of your debts; taking a huge weight off your shoulders and putting you back in control.
How long does an IVA last?
An IVA typically lasts for five years, but it could be up to six years depending on whether you can release equity in your home. However, no matter how long your IVA lasts, Debt Free Direct will be with you every step of the way.
We'll carry out regular reviews of your IVA to make sure that you can always afford your payments and, if times do get tough, we can even put you on a payment break. It's this flexibility that sets us apart and means you always have our support.
How much does an IVA cost?
An IVA comes at a standard cost, but with Debt Free Direct, you won't pay any upfront fees. You'll simply make one monthly payment, which could be as low as £100 and includes our fees, set at 17% of your debt.
Also, because we believe that you should be free to enjoy your life while you're in an IVA, we'll make sure that your monthly payment won't leave you short of cash. When you speak to us we will go through your income and expenditure to ensure we properly understand you because one size does not fit all. It takes all your outgoings into account, from your utilities to your food bills and even the cost of running a car. So as well as getting your finances back on track, you'll soon begin to feel like You Again.
What's different about an IVA with Debt Free Direct?
As we've already mentioned, Debt Free Direct don't charge you upfront fees and will always ensure that your monthly payments are manageable. But that's not all we do.
Our Money Savings Team will also help you to find more disposable income by reducing your utility bills. We can also help you investigate money that you're entitled to, such as PPI, to improve the outcome of your IVA.
We'll also always be here to listen to you, and when you need a helping hand we'll provide it by arranging a payment break, or putting you in touch with qualified debt counsellor. In short, we don't just want you to get out of debt - we want you to get on with your life.
Online payments
We accept payments online for IVAs only. Visit our online payment page here to pay your IVA - you will need your IVA reference number.
*Since 2011 over 50% of the IVA proposals approved by creditors estimated that more than 60% of the unsecured debt owed would be written off upon successful completion. This is an indication based on the initial offer approved by creditors for 8,584 IVA's entered into via Debt Free Direct. Debt write off only occurs where an IVA completes successfully. If your circumstances change during the term of your IVA, the amount you will repay may also change. This may also impact the amount of debt write off upon successful completion.

A few of us Debian IRC guys (Jason Gunthorpe, Manoj Srivastava) hopped over here for the first time tonight and incestously cert'ed each other. Good to see that Joey Hess has master status; he needs to be disabused of his false modesty. :)
An interesting project, let's see what happens with it.
Okay, here's some diary-like ephemeralia: currently listening to Dream Theater's latest, Scenes from a Memory.
Boy, I really wish Advogato was more HTML 4'ish instead of this nasty 3.2 stuff. :)
Finally, I'm not sure that the TT tags are really working.
Nope, they're not...


text: Just a slightly amusing story I thought I'd share with you all. I have a carded Episode 1 Yoda figure hanging on my wall in the computer room. The other day my 2 year old son, came in and pointed at the picture next to the bubble and said "Mae"!, his nickname for my wife's mother. I don't see the resemblance that much really, but everytime my son sees Yoda now, he identifies him as his "Mae". I kind of hope she doesn't find out, she'd probably be pretty offended.

Big-name investors tend to reveal their holdings in selective ways: they'll wait for a big conference or a television appearance to leak information. But four times a year fund managers are forced to show some of their investments to the public.
In the past day, managers have released their holdings as of the end of the second quarter. Below, we've compiled some of the changes reported by investors like Warren Buffett, Daniel Loeb, David Einhorn and more (compiled by Avi Salzman, Brendan Conway and John Kimelman):
Bill Ackman
Bill Ackman of Pershing Square Capital Management liquidated the firm's entire stake in Kraft (KFT) after lowering it by 27% during the first quarter. Ackman also liquidated his stakes in Family Dollar (FDO) and Fortune Brands Home & Security (FBHS).
Ackman sold nearly all of his Citigroup (C) stake, lowering it to 1.1 million shares from more than 26 million shares as of the end of the first quarter, according to InsiderScore.com.
As has been widely reported, Ackman also added a large stake in Procter & Gamble (PG). The details of that stake, however, were still not entirely clear. The filing says he owned 21.9 million shares as of the end of the second quarter, worth $1.3 billion. He also owned 8.4 million P&G call options as of the end of the quarter.
Warren Buffett
Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB) added two new positions in the second quarter.
Berkshire added about 27 million shares of refiner Phillips 66 (PSX) and 2.8 million shares of drilling equipment company National Oilwell Varco (NOV) by the end of the quarter, according to the filing. Berkshire received Phillips shares as part of its spinoff from ConocoPhillips (COP), which Berkshire has held for years.
Berkshire also liquidated its entire position in Intel (INTC) and sold 64% of its Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) stake, according to InsiderScore.com.
David Einhorn
David Einhorn was hot on health care in the second quarter, as his hedge fund Greenlight Capital added stakes in Aetna (AET), Cigna (CI), Coventry Health Care (CVH), UnitedHealth Group (UNH), and Wellpoint (WLP). He particularly loaded up on Cigna, buying about 6.4 million shares worth $283 million, and Coventry, buying about 6.7 million shares worth $212 million.
Not all health care stocks were to his liking however. Einhorn did sell most of his stake in medical products company CareFusion (CFN), according to InsiderScore.com.
Another new holding was oil company Hess (HES). Einhorn bought 2.1 million shares for about $91 million. Hess shares fell into a trough during the quarter, trading below $50 per share for much it and hitting a new 52-week low of $39.67 on June 25. It's not clear when exactly during the quarter Greenlight bought the shares.
Other new Greenlight holdings included Virgin Media (VMED), and a small stake in Genworth Financial (GNW).
Einhorn liquidated his position in hospital operator HCA Holdings (HCA), as well as his stakes in Dell (DELL) and Research in Motion (RIMM).
Because fund managers don't have to disclose short positions, investors got no more information on the juiciest Einhorn mystery of the moment: whether he's shorting Herbalife (HLF).
George Soros
Hedge-fund manager George Soros nearly tripled his stake in the most popular U.S. gold fund during the second quarter, his firm's disclosures show. Soros Fund Management held 884,400 shares of the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) as of June 30, up from 319,550 on March 31.
Soros also showed new positions in Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) and Facebook (FB).
At 4.8 million shares, Wal-Mart is now the third biggest equity position in Soros' reported holdings, notes Dow Jones Newswires' Brett Philbin.
Soros Fund Management's new stake of 341,000 Facebook shares was worth $10.6 million at the end of the second quarter. The value has dropped to about $7.1 million as of Wednesday, assuming the position's still in the portfolio.
Meanwhile, the firm reported no stake in J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM), Goldman Sachs Group (GS) or Citigroup (C).
Daniel Loeb
Hedge-fund manager Dan Loeb, who manages Third Point, reported purchasing 4 million shares of News Corp. (NWSA), the global media and entertainment company that owns Barron's magazine and Barrons.com.
Third Point also reported purchasing 2.2 million shares of Plains Exploration (PXP) and Cabot Oil & Gas (COG).
Loeb's fund also reported picking up 2.75 million shares of Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE), the Coke bottler.
The fund also added 425,000 shares to its stake of Apple (AAPL).

Disclaimer: These interviews are not associated with A-M-V.org or its administration. The Lip Flapper spent way too much time on this week's banner. It's also not that funny.
We interview people! Sorry, I'm trying to think of something less stupid to put here.
Interview Spotlight
This week, we're chatting it up with Nya-Chan Production, a member of the Czech community and a moderator here at a-m-v.org. He's known for works such as One, Trouble in Heaven, and 107 White Silhouettes.
The Interview
CodeZTM wrote:Q: Thanks for joining me today. How about we start things off and have you introduce yourself to the audience?
Hi there, I am Nya-chan Production, known also as Sanya-nya on IRC or Twitter and as Wolfii in the Czech community and among friends. I am 25 years old with a 16-17 years old person somewhere inside. Om nom nom!
Some other stuff? You can read that on my profile page ^^
Yo! ==<O.o>==
CodeZTM wrote:Q: Thanks again for joining me today. Care to tell us a little bit about what got you involved in AMVs?
I suppose it was the local national AMV championship which takes place on Animefest. Saw some fine pieces of Jarnik there, became interested in those and joined a-m-v.org shortly after. My starts were horrible, but after leaving WMM and getting more proficient in technical side of stuff (thanks to mirkosp) I became more confident in what I do and delved deeper.
CodeZTM wrote:Q: You're a moderator for a-m-v.org! Care to tell us a little bit about how it's like working for the org? The most fulfilling thing? The most irritating thing? The one thing you'd like to tell regular users to be aware of?
It's a bit time consuming, but our members are mostly nice. The AMV management is tough, but that should be improved soon with the new a-m-v.org :3
Most fulfilling? I suppose the fact that I can help people. I've always loved that and it means a lot for me.
Most irritating are the people who can't read rules, like on many other boards.
So one thing to be aware of - rules are important! But if I can add something - don't be afraid to offer your help or services to us if you can do something well. Any activity is welcome and we always need more artists, coders, programmers ;x
CodeZTM wrote:Q: You're one of the top banner makers on the site and have a lot of accepted banners. You've also created the banners for past Project Editors. They're very lovely to look at! Care to give a little advice on banner making, or let us know about your design process?
Love pictures, love creating, love quality.
First, have a huge amount of pictures to select your base from. Then don't be afraid to spend some 15-30 minutes over a single banner AND don't be afraid to throw it away if the idea doesn't work. And the third part is to know where png work and where jpg does, how to save efficiently and thus have the quality be right up there~
CodeZTM wrote:Q: Sticking with designing, you do excellent work in fonts/text. Care to offer some advice on this?
I think mirkosp or Okami are better talking about AMV test work. But it's pretty much the same as for the banners. Have lots of fonts (http://www.dafont.com/ is an awesome resource for those), play with them, know basic stuff about typesetting (what kerning is, which fonts go with which situations, etc.), don't kill your work woth bad quality.
CodeZTM wrote:Q: Let's talk AMVs! Something you seem to be fond of editing is very short AMVs. Is there a particular reason you enjoy editing short AMVs?
Because I am too lazy to subclip XD So I work with frameserved movies or single episodes. Single episode editing is a guilty pleasure of mine, but in maaaany cases it's enough to work with ^^
Talking about length... I think that it's far more challenging to take an idea and tell it in some limited amount of time, than telling it in five, six minutes. And I like to challenge myself.
CodeZTM wrote:Q: Speaking of AMVs, your style seems very simplistic, yet elegant in nature. You also seem to focus on telling stories quite well. Care to share with us about your AMV style and how you make it come across?
My AMV style? YOu've just described it! Mmmmm... I like simple stuff, that's all, probably? ^^; And I edit as it goes, it's natural talent. Other than getting into basics of technical side of things (I hate when my AMVs look ugly after I've given them hours and days of work) I don't really think about my AMVs much. The idea just comes, I edit it and it comes out.
Or not :<
CodeZTM wrote:Q: While you're at it, can you share with us your editing process? How you start, how you edit or whatnot?
I get an idea, usually when listening to some music - I am pretty big music lover, right now there's music playing here as well. It usually comes as a combo to some anime I've seen, so I don't have to look for anime.
Then I wait till I have some time and the right mood strikes, sit down to it... and edit like hell. I don't do much effects, so it doesn't take much time. I prefer concept before shinies, really.

Well, obviously it's a Czech community of AMV makers. Not really THAT active (mainly around big actions like Animefest or Advik), but it has few interesting members. I take care of it with Dorry (my GF, who kicks me when I am lazy). There 's the old party, some people from before the AMVCzech took flight (Jarnik, Wotan, and others), there are the new members who get better and wait for a chance (GorDon, Funstorm, Cingiz and others). I think it's on a good way, but it's really tough to manage it at the same time ^^;

Red pepper sauce and rice vinegar accent this tofu and vegetable soup.
Tofu is a mild and smooth custardlike mixture made from pureed soybeans. It's low in calories, cholesterol free and considered to be a good and inexpensive source of vegetable protein.
A cup of sliced regular white mushrooms, about 3 ounces, can be substituted for the dried black mushrooms.
If you're not ready to try tofu, then just use 2 cans (15 to 16 ounces each) great northern beans, rinsed and drained, instead of it.

| Topic: how much was the roast?
Posted: 02 November 2012 at 9:32am
A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter. Fortunately, the butcher recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor of his. The neighbor happened to be a lawyer. Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbor and said, "Hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat?" The lawyer replied, "Of course, how much was the roast?" "$7.98."
A few days later the butcher received a check in the mail for $7.98. Attached to it was an invoice that read: Legal Consultation Service: $150 .

Wonder if he jingled regards

I bet he not only jingled he clanked. My luck--Archie would swallow a winning lotto ticket. After he shredded it.
Look what Weezie "swallowed" and spit out Wednesday morning at 4 am.
Oh! I WANT ONE!! My old JRT is 16. Don't think he would appreciate a puppy at this point.
They are so cute!

They are cute little duffers with those spots. Is Sharon getting her boy or did Weezie do the opposite of last time and have all girls?
Kim Pfister, Rainmaker Labs
Weezie had 2 boys and 1 girl. The girl was born in the truck-a big shout out to pot holes. Let this also be a lesson of many for me-2 spotted on sonogram, 2 on xray. And guess what? There he sits, the one with the black spot on his back. We are calling him Surprise for now. Sharon has pick of litter. I do hope Russell approves and is watching over Weezie and her pups.
Big Congrats Miss Pals.
Weezie you is special.
It is far easier to spit on the work of others than it is to produce something better yourself.
