When depressed fat kid Troy's attempt to throw himself in front of a bus is thwarted by drug-addicted musical genius Marcus, the two are thrown into an adventure of punk rock, friendship, betrayal, and unlikely triumph.
Filmmaker Matthew Lillard will be in attendance for a Q and A following the screening. After the Q and A there is an after-party at R Bar with complimentary beverages provided by Radeberger Pilsner
Fat Kid Rules the World (Matthew Lillard | USA | 94 min.)
Troy is a fat kid. Ignored at school, ridiculed by his younger, more athletic brother, pitied by his ex-marine father, he has decided to end it all by stepping in front of a bus. He is just about to do it when he is knocked out of harm's way by a force of nature named Marcus.
Thus begins an unlikely partnership between nerdy, introverted Troy and semi-homeless, drug-addicted, punk rock genius Marcus. Marcus recruits Troy as the drummer in his new band, and for a second, it looks like things might be looking up for Troy. There are only a couple of problems. Troy doesn't know how to play the drums, and Marcus doesn't know how to stay off the pills for long enough to be the friend that Troy so desperately needs.
In 1998 Matthew Lillard played Stevo in SLC Punk, a role that encapsulated the ferocious spirit and pitfalls of the punk lifestyle. That film was a defining one for a generation teetering into adulthood at the edge of the millennium. Now, with Fat Kid Rules the World, his directorial debut, Lillard has created another generation defining film. Performed with savage heart by the film's two leads, Jacob Wysocki (Terri) and Matt O'Leary (Brick), it writhes with the anguish, fury, and ecstatic energy of coming of age in today's world. The cast is rounded out by a surprisingly tender performance from Billy Campbell (The Killing). The result is funny, heartbreaking, exhilarating, and devastating, just like growing up.
Twenty pages into K.L. Going's book by the same name, Lillard picked up the phone to buy the movie rights. It took him nine years to find a way to make the film. We at Rooftop are glad he did, and we think you will be too.

I see the righties here dancing all around evading the subject of the thread "General Powell demands answers from CIA, Pentagon and DIA about the WMDs lies. But that is not surprising.
I am not dancing around anything Roger. I don't know who lied or is lying now. I think it is pretty evident that they did have WMD's at one time. Did they have them in 2003? Doesnt look like it. But I don't know who to blame, if there is anyone to blame. I do know that you posting a link about this same damn topic weekly isn't going to change anything. We went to war, we are still there and I don't know when we will be home. If you want to do something productive, why not pack a care package and mail it to some service man over there fighting the war you like to bitch about.

Published on Saturday, January 10, 2004 by CBS NewsThe Bush Administration began laying plans for an invasion of Iraq, including the use of American troops, within days of President Bush's inauguration in January of 2001 -- not eight months later after the 9/11 attacks as has been previously reported.
Saddam's Ouster Planned In '01?
O'Neill is quoted as saying he was surprised that no one in a National Security Council meeting questioned why Iraq should be invaded. "It was all about finding a way to do it. That was the tone of it. The president saying 'Go find me a way to do this. '"
That's what former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill says in his first interview about his time as a White House insider. O'Neill talks to Correspondent Lesley Stahl in the interview, to be broadcast on 60 Minutes, Sunday, Jan. 11 at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

It's well-known that exercise is very beneficial for healthy individuals, increasing cardiovascular and muscular fitness, improving mood, controlling weight and lowering the risk of systemic hypertension and heart disease. Exercise may help lower the risk of chronic illnesses such as diabetes. There have also been several published articles showing increased walk distance in PAH patients undergoing cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs.However, relatively little is known about the risks and benefits of exercise for pulmonary hypertension patients. Exercise is important in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but the symptoms of PH under exertion make it difficult for many patients to find the right type of activity. Many PH patients become short of breath under mild to moderate exertion, but feel fine at rest. Those who experience shortness of breath at rest or very mild exertion must be very closely monitored, as exercise can induce fainting, excess stress to the right side of the heart, and other problems.Because of the varying severity of PH from patient to patient (and other health-related factors), recommendations on exercise for PH patients are different for each individual, and may change over time depending on symptoms and response to treatment. Your PH specialist can help you create an exercise program that works for you. Always speak with your PH doctor before performing strenuous labor or beginning an exercise regimen.
If approved to perform an exercise regimen, follow these guidelines to have a safe and enjoyable workout:
Consensus Statement on Exercise by the PHA Scientific Leadership Council Read these general guidelines on exercise for PH patients before considering an exercise regimen.Live Well, Get Moving (PDF)Physical therapist Chris Wells offers tips on maximizing the effectiveness of exercise and offers a sample exercise program (not to be substituted for an individual evaluation and regimen provided by your doctor).Lifestyle Modification and Exercise Dos and Don'ts (PDF)Quick tips for getting the most out of your workout.

you think back to the titans earlier that postseason, and they would have won had they not had a stupid blocked chip shot FG for a td. Giants were similar to that team. remember that the ravens were a great defense, but not a great team. very poor offense to complement them.
that was a good team that was weak at CB, TE and OL, but very strong on DL, WR, RB and to an extent LB

I sort of do 12" dioramas. I don't make backgrounds for them, but I do try and use characters that appear together in the movies (or I exaggerate a little).
Do you do this? What are some of your largest groups of figures?
Some of my larger groups include:
12" Bounty Hunters (the 6 obvious choices).
The Sarlaac Battle: Leia Slave w. R2 Server, Luke Jedi, Han Unfrozen, Electronic Boba Fett (hopefully Lando Skiff and Gamorrean next year - and dang this needs a Weequay!)
Jabba's Palace: Chewie N' Chains, Leia Boussh, Luke Jedi (robed), Bib Fortuna, Boba Fett, Han's carbonite block. I'm going to add a Gamorrean and Lando Skiff to this one as well. Looks like I'll be buying 2 each of these figures.
- Jabba and Oola would be nice, as would the Max Rebo Band, but the band I'm inclined to keep separate for space limitation reasons.
Mos Eisley: I have 2 Sandtroopers (orange and white), Ponda, Greedo, R5-D4, I have the Death Star Droid as "RA-7", and the Jawa. I didn't want to overcomplicate things, so I only have Modal Node member Nalan, because I liked his instrument the best.
Death Star: I have Tarkin, Vader 14", and the Royal Guard, with Palpatine.
Bespin Landing Platform: I have Leia Hoth, Han Bespin, Lando, C-3PO, and Plastic Bark Chewbacca. (Lobot would not do anything for me. I don't need him in a 12". I like having just the heroes here.)
Hanger Battle #1: Black Travel Amidala, Padme handmaiden, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, OOM-9, Battle Droid.
Gungan Battle: Capt. Tarpals on the Kaadu, Electronic JarJar, OOM-9, Battle Droid (and I totally want a Destroyer Droid here to make the Trade Federation at least appear to be a threat!)
Galactic Senate: Amidala Senate, possibly Anakin (because I like that scene when he comes to say good-bye), Valorum, Senate Guard, and an E.T. that's from the 80's that's the perfect size! I'd love to add SENATOR Palpatine to this group, as well as some of the other cool characters we've seen involved in galactic politics.
Mos Espa: Here I have Padme Tatooine, Anakin, Watto, Electronic Naked C-3PO, (I need an extra R2D2 - preferably with tools), the Pit Droids, Sebulba, and I'd love to add Shmi Skywalker and a collection of Pod Racers in the 6-to-12 inch size! They are so funny looking!)
Endor Strike Team: Luke Speederbike, Leia Speederbike (soon), I have 2 Scout Troopers on Speederbikes, Han Endor, Original Chewie, Wicket. (I want to have Han fighting a Scout and Luke and Leia on the same Speederbike but then I'd have 2 extra bikes taking up a lot of space! I wished Leia Endor had been released just boxed and without a bike!)
Clone Troopers: I have the Commander, Captain, and 2 Troopers posed like their the Fantastic 4 launching into battle!
Jedi Council: Eventually I want to set up the entire Episode 1 Jedi Council. I would put Shaak-Ti and Coleman Trebdor (the new E2 members) into battle scenes.
Arena Battle: Right now, I only plan on doing 4 figures: two Jedi I like (Ki Adi Mundi, and I'm hoping for a great SaeSee Tiin) versus two Super Battle Droids. - The Super Battle Droid is not that great of figure, and buying more regular E1 Battle Droids or OOM-9's just doesn't thrill me. I have 4 and they never bothered to give them turning wrists or improve them in any way (between OOM-9 and the regular one's release) so I'd prefer not to have a lot of figures I don't think are particularly great. This applies to Plo Koon, who I've handled personally because my friend got him early and I don't think the Plo figure's that great. I'll just get 1 for my Jedi Council scene, I'm sorry to say.
I have a lot more 12" displays, but I think my bigger groups have all been spoken for. Sometimes a display only requires 2 figures like Obi-Wan versus Jango, or something large by itself like Darth Maul on the Sith Speeder or the Dewback with Sandtrooper. Still, the groups can be more fun!!!

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
With the closure of the North Cascases Hwy, Pateros is a loooonnngg drive to hear what WSFW is saying about the Upper Columbia fishery. I would be very nice if they had a public meeting in the Seattle area, or at least in Wenatchee or Leavenworth so that more of the folks who actually fish the Upper Columbia steelhead (expecially those of us who like and love the Wenatchee) to provide some input. It seems that WDFW has chosen to have the meeting (on a Friday evening no less) in Pateros for the express purpose of limiting the number of people who want to provide input to WDFW on the Upper Columbia steelhead fishery.
I'm sorry for being so cynical; but this "public meeting" is not so public after all since its location will severely limit the ability of people to attend since Pateros is at least 5 hours from Seattle. It smacks of WDFW being able to say that they had a public hearing; but that few people bothered to show up. Thus being able to say that there was not enough interest in having the Wenatchee opened to steelhead.
The Future of Upper Columbia Steelhead Fisheries
Maybe we will get the straight scoop as to if we will ever see a fishery in the Wenatchee...
As posted from the WDFW Website:
WDFW explains future Upper Columbia steelhead
fisheries at Nov. 7 public meeting in Pateros
Fishers and interested others can learn about the new Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) 10-year agreement that allows fishing on Upper Columbia River hatchery steelhead at a public meeting Friday, Nov. 7, 6:30 - 9 p.m., at Pateros High School Gymnasium, 344 W. Beach St., Pateros, in Okanogan County.
The agreement with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA Fisheries), and both Chelan and Douglas Public Utility Districts, authorizes WDFW fish management activities on the upper Columbia River and its tributaries, provided they do not conflict with ongoing efforts to recover wild steelhead populations listed for protection under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA).
The public meeting will cover the criteria of the agreement that govern how, when and where steelhead fisheries can be allowed in the Columbia River between Priest Rapids and Chief Joseph Dams and the major tributaries within that reach. Important among these criteria are size of the steelhead run each year and numbers of wild steelhead in the run, but several other aspects of the agreement will also be discussed.
With steelhead returns to the upper Columbia River expected to reach the second-highest level in 15 years, WDFW this year opened the upper Columbia, Methow and Okanogan rivers to fishing for adipose-fin-clipped hatchery steelhead on Oct. 8 and will open the Similkameen River on Nov. 15.
As directed under the NOAA Fisheries agreement, anglers must release any wild steelhead - identified by an intact adipose fin - they catch on the Columbia River above Rocky Reach Dam, or in the Methow, Okanogan or Similkameen rivers. Any fish with a disk tag also must be released unharmed in those areas. General freshwater rules are in effect for all species on the mainstem Columbia, but selective gear rules apply on the Methow, Okanogan and Similkameen rivers. Night fishing closures are also in effect on all three tributaries and on the mainstem Columbia River from Rocky Reach Dam to Chief Joseph Dam.
The fisheries remain open until further notice, depending on whether catch rates indicate significant incidental mortality on wild fish.
The restrictions are similar to those in effect during the past two years, when NOAA Fisheries approved selective fisheries on a trial basis. WDFW eastern Washington fish program manager Heather Bartlett explained that careful monitoring has shown that the fishery has not interfered with the substantial increase in the number of steelhead returning to the spawning grounds.
"Our meeting in Pateros on the 7th is meant to explain more about this agreement and what it means for fishers," Bartlett said. "It's important that steelheaders understand how their cooperation in this controlled harvest of surplus hatchery fish can help us ultimately recover wild steelhead and the economic benefits this fishery provides for local communities."

I am using Castle Windsor for my dependency injection and AOP.
Castle also has Logging Facility implemented in Log4net.
The problem with facility or constructur injection: in some part of application Castle Container is not ready yet (Global.asax, installer or ControllerFactory when you want to have logging) so you have to roll your own Log4Net code.
Castle.Services.Logging.Log4netIntegration has Log4Net wrapper that we can use. The wrapper already handle IsDebugEnabled etc. we just use ILogger.Info, ILogger.Error, etc.)
simple usage: Just create an instance of Log4netFactory and create the implementation of Castle.Core.Logging.ILogger
Log4netFactory _log4NetFactory = new Log4netFactory();
ILogger logger = _log4NetFactory.Create(this.GetType());
Source code for Log4netLogger is available at Castle Project at GitHub
If you want to improve your logger performance you might want to read this link AOP With castle–Part 3-The first interceptor . This article show how to use dictionary as a cache to store your class loggers.

This project is an extension from ClientSideAsp's Polls project. Thank you Ansar for sharing your project.
Selling point for this release:
Why Mustache/Nustache? Well at this time Templating Engine from Microsoft and jQuery was cancelled; researching the alternatives, I found that Mustache templating is implemented in many languages.

I need to execute InstallUtil.exe at the end of a MSI installation created using WIX.
At that moment this link is down (How to Invoke InstallUtil.exe in WiX Custom Action to Call Your Managed Installer Class).
I found out that what I need was Custom Action Type 34 (running an exe with a working directory) from these threads:
These are the code snippets incase the first link is down again.
<!-- create custom action --><CustomAction Id="AfterCopyingFiles" Directory="DirectoryID_Where_InstallUtil_Is_Copied" ExeCommand="[DirectoryID_Where_InstallUtil_Is_Copied]installutil.exe File_Containing_RunInstaller_Attribute.exe" Return="check" Impersonate="yes" Execute="deferred" /><CustomAction Id="ForUninstall" Directory="DirectoryID_Where_InstallUtil_Is_Copied" ExeCommand="[DirectoryID_Where_InstallUtil_Is_Copied]installutil.exe /u File_Containing_RunInstaller_Attribute.exe" Return="check" Impersonate="yes" Execute="immediate" /><!-- set when custom action will execute --><InstallExecuteSequence> <!--install--> <Custom Action="AfterCopyingFiles" After="InstallFiles">NOT Installed</Custom> <!--uninstall--> <Custom Action="ForUninstall" Before="RemoveFiles">REMOVE="ALL"</Custom></InstallExecuteSequence>
After reading Chapter 5 from WIX A Developers Guide to Windows Installer I found out 2 more ways to trigger an executable during installation:

It's time to upgrade our Continuous Integration platform; I am updating CCNET 1.5 to CCNET 1.6 beta. Configuration Preprocessor with Conditional logic is awesome, I can refactor our distributed build system better with this.
The first error message I got after running the beta version:
[CCNet Server:ERROR] INTERNAL ERROR: Could not evaluate expression 'major}.{mino r}.{build}.{revision'
Reason: Syntax error
The svnrevisionlabeller plugin from http://code.google.com/p/svnrevisionlabeller/ is not compatible with CCNET beta 1.6.My quick fix is to edit and recompile the SVN Revision Labeller plugin. You can download the compiled dll here: ccnet.SvnRevisionLabeller.plugin.dll.zip (4.89 kb) and copy to the CCNET installation folder (WARNING! you must change the labeller pattern using '(' and ')' instead of '{' and '}' ).or follow my steps to recompile:
This is just my own solution; I haven't contacted the developer for this plugin.

BlogEngine RC 2.0 comes with SyntaxHighlighter 3.0.83; Too bad the horizontal line wrap does not work, first I thought it was because I am using Themes for BE 1.5.
I found this bug report on SyntaxHighlighter: horizontal-line-wrapping-doesnt-work.
I do not have time to implement the solutions there, so I use SyntaxHighlighter 2.1 instead.
Just copy and paste the files from scripts and styles folder to BlogEngine's.

These are collection of command line MSBuild that I Use for building and deploying my .Net projects. I use Rake for calling these commands
MSBUILD's parameters are case sensitive!
Just build whole solution as if pressing ctrl+shift+b from visual studio, does not care where to put the output. Use this when someone commit to trunk to see if the last commited code compiled successfully

Use ASPNET_COMPILER.EXE to precompile Web Site Project where no project file can be found (can also be used for ASMX Web Service)
you have to input the /IIS_ApplicationName parameter even though you are not publishing it to IIS!
"C:aspnet_compiler directory\aspnet_compiler.exe" -f -v /IIS_ApplicationName -p c:\source_folder c:\output_folder
If you do not install .NET SDK on the build machine, you have to add these parameters so MSBUILD can find the LC.EXE and SGEN.EXE

Talk focuses on 'Alternatives to Embryonic Stem Cells'
Friday, May 16, 2008, 4:30 p.m. · 219 Burr Hall
Posted May 7, 2008; 07:49 p.m.
Markus Grompe, a faculty member at Oregon Health and Science University, will speak on "Alternatives to Embryonic Stem Cells" at 4:30 p.m. Friday, May 16, in 219 Burr Hall.
The director of the university's Oregon Stem Cell Center since it was founded in 2004, Grompe also is a professor in the departments of molecular and medical genetics and pediatrics. He is involved in the clinical care of patients with genetic diseases as well as scientific investigation.
Grompe will explore the latest advances in stem-cell research, including the impact of discoveries announced in late 2007 that adult cells can be reprogrammed to behave like embryonic stem cells, a process that opens up the prospect of new therapies without necessitating the destruction of embryos. Grompe's research focuses on childhood genetic disorders, in particular the DNA-repair disease Fanconi anemia and metabolic liver diseases.
The lecture is sponsored by the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions and the Witherspoon Institute.

lol, is that with or without Wanny???
It's way too early to tell. It depends on who we draft. After week 3 of this season, the Patriots were 1-2. Now they're 14-2, so you never know. Enjoy the offseason fellow Fin fans....

Natural World Heritage sites represent the world's pre-eminent areas of biodiversity, and their identification and protection are key parts of the global community's responsibility for conservation. When emergencies occur or urgent threats to these sites arise, critical time is often lost organizing a response, during which precious natural world heritage may be irreparably damaged.
The Rapid Response Facility (RRF) was designed to provide timely resources to address threats and emergencies affecting NWHS and surrounding areas of influence - and to do so quickly, flexibly and in real time.

Looks like we won't know anything on Mugarian for another couple of weeks at the earliest
If you can't be a good example... then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
Nothing tastes as good as being fit feels...
I don't think it is ever worth getting upset about a pick after the 30th round. JMO.
It's like getting really angry about an NFL pick in the 7th round.
Go BLUE!!!
But I don't disagree with you. Curious, to say the least.
If you follow the draft closely, you know that "nepotism" picks happen. Last year, Jocketty's kid got taken by the Cubs somewhere in the 40s. It just so happens that Harford's dad is a scout for the Cubs.It does because it simply doesn't make sense.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
"When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"
Hell the Braves drafted Schuerholz's kid in like the 7th round out of Auburn and that kid, while a starter in college, had ZERO potential as a professional player.
It's a bit of bummer to see this thread with new posts so regularly when in fact, there isn't any news.
I've been guilty of it too (especially as I am posting this!) but it would be nice to limit the discussion unless someone has actually been signed.
From Fay:
Maybe they want to get him signed before they can make a decision on whether to include Mesoraco in a trade for pitching?The Reds have made initial contact with the agents representing top pick Yasmani Grandal.
"We've exchanged some emails," Walt Jocketty said. "We'll probably talk next week. We wanted to give him some time."
Grandal's University of Miami team was eliminated from NCAA Tournament. The deadline for draftees to sign is Aug. 16. Yonder Alonso went up to minutes of the deadline in 2008. Mike Leake signed on the deadline day last year as well.

About RickyRood
I'm a professor at U Michigan and lead a course on climate change problem solving. These articles often come from and contribute to the course.
By: Dr. Ricky Rood , 1:30 AM GMT en Diciembre 31, 2010
I regularly meet new people through this blog. Recently Christine Shearer contacted me to look over some paragraphs in her forthcoming book. Christine is a sociologist working on climate change. As my readers know, I believe that perspectives from many different fields are what we need to move our addressing climate change forward. I asked, and she agreed to write a guest blog.
Connecting climate change to everyday life by Christine Shearer
One of the interesting things, sociologically, about climate change science is just how political it has become. It is not, however, that people merely fall on different sides on the issue, depending upon their views concerning government regulation. In many ways this divide was socially engineered. In their research, sociologists Aaron McCright and Riley Dunlap track how those opposed to climate change regulations helped transform growing national understanding and concern over global warming into a "nonproblem", creating a political climate conducive toward the US Congress rejecting the binding greenhouse gas limits of the Kyoto Protocol. Regulation opponents did this by borrowing tactics from Big Tobacco: demanding certainty as the only acceptable standard for action, while simultaneously funding research to deliberately create uncertainty. Historian Naomi Oreskes has traced how many of the same scientists that questioned the science on smoking also went on to question acid rain, ozone depletion, and climate change. These efforts are aided by the media, which too often confuse balanced journalism with presenting various views on an issue, ignoring the weight of scientific consensus.
After Kyoto, public perception of global warming as a problem shrank among U.S. Republicans, marking the beginning of a growing partisan divide concerning global warming and the need for action. Conservatives are arguably exposed to more media sources that question climate change, such as the recently leaked memo of a Fox News editor ordering its journalists to always state that climate change data has been called into question when discussing the topic. Gallup surveys also suggest there has been a measurable decrease since Kyoto in just how severe a problem much of the U.S. public – Republicans and Democrats – regard climate change.
This has been the brilliance of the climate change "doubt" campaign – to tame down the urgency with which people wanted action on climate change, and to create pockets of the US population that are absolutely convinced the entire issue is a hoax.
More concerning is that this is happening while the information on climate change is growing more alarming, with glaciers melting more rapidly than many models had predicted, with new studies suggesting carbon dioxide may stay in the atmosphere for longer than had been previously estimated, and with increasing signs that many of the world's carbon sinks are growing stressed. The disconnect between scientific research and mainstream public opinion is huge, with many scientists quietly acquiescing that we should be performing small-scale experiments of geoengineering, since the social dynamics concerning climate change look so unlikely to change anytime soon.
That is why many organizations like 350.org have been calling for a social movement on this issue, to create the large-scale response needed to push social change. Activists have been trying to argue that action on climate change is a win-win-win: we clean up our environment, stimulate the economy with new technologies and jobs, and remove our dependence on unstable fuels.
What this movement needs, however, is some urgency. Research on climate change and risk perception show people think of climate change as a distant concern, not immediate to them, and not as pressing as other issues like the economic crisis. This is a problem, because the history of social movements and social change show that people often do not get active and involved in an issue until they can connect it to their daily lives, until it touches them personally. The economic crisis is touching people personally. Climate change, in the public mind - not so much.
This is where climate scientists could have a very important role to play: to begin shattering the taboo between weather and climate.
Right now, the conventional wisdom is that no specific weather event can be attributed to climate change. This is of course "true." But it is the wrong question, and its persistence is having disastrous effects. First, it reinforces the public view that climate change is a remote, long-term concern not immediately affecting them. Second, it falls into the "uncertainty" argument - since you can't say that climate change "caused" a weather event, it ends up being an argument of doubt (and inaction) that plays into climate deniers' hands.
Again, the problem is it's the wrong question, and we need to reframe the issue. Luckily, some are already doing this. In his paper "How Warm Was This Summer?" NASA scientist James Hansen suggests climate scientists reframe the question to: "Would these events have occurred if atmospheric carbon dioxide had remained at its pre-industrial level of 280 ppm?" To which he says: "An appropriate answer in that case is 'almost certainly not.'"
Other scientists, for example, Ben Santer are using climate models as a "control experiment" for pre-industrial greenhouse gas levels, to determine how many times an extreme event of a given magnitude should have been observed in the absence of human interference, and compare that to present conditions, called "fractional attributable risk.
These are much needed advances, for both scientific and public understanding. The more people connect daily occurrences to increasing greenhouse gases, the more they'll want to do something about it. Now.
The next step, of course, is getting the media and meteorologists to pay attention. But the more scientists discuss daily events, the more social scientists, activists, and other concerned people will demand attention be paid to it. And that will help raise the broader attention and concern we need around climate change. Because the best option, of course, is mitigation. And sadly it is an option we have yet to try.

Mississippi legislators recessed for the weekend Friday morning, leaving in conference committee or in other forms of legislative limbo many of the most important legislative proposals of the 2013 session.
Action by the Budget Committee last week raising the revenue estimate for 2014 might have included an upward revision for budget-year 2013 collections, which could have helped squeezed funding needs in that cycle.
But $60 million that could have been applied was held because the Senate members of the committee all voted not to raise the estimate for 2013, the position supported by Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, which is opposite that of Speaker Philip Gunn, who chairs the committee.
Politics aside, raising this year's estimate appears dead for the time being because when the Budget Committee cannot agree the Legislature cannot by its regular process change the estimate.
The funds, if they accrue, would be divided between capital reserves and capital expenses.
The time between committing major bills to conference and the next action provides opportunity for constituents to speak their minds by telephone call, letter or email, or in person, to legislators, most of whom return to their districts and homes during weekend recesses.
Some legislators and some statewide officials are focused on implementing charter schools, but several actions affecting the regular school structure could stimulate progress elsewhere for our state:
• Pre-K education that will bring children to kindergarten "school ready."
• Requiring strong curriculum that would make us equivalent to the highest-achieving nations in the world.
• Partially dismantling the status quo of ideas and practices and reassembling both designed for the needs of the 21st century.
• Creating and nurturing of more excellent teachers.
• Intense development of excellent leaders.
• More rigor in the school experience, from longer hours to more demanding courses.
Many of those needs have answers in development or in beginning stages of implementation, not in some far-away classroom, but in Mississippi.
Innovation assuredly will play a role, but ideology cannot be allowed to mask as innovation.
Enterprises focused primarily on profits for owners outside classrooms – i.e., for-profit charter school groups – cannot be primarily focused on students, parents and their communities, the true shareholders of public schools.
The simple answer to issues about putting children first is rejection of what appears to be and almost certainly is overtly political, followed by adoption of ideas with records of success.

In 1984, after his first day of class at Mississippi State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, Glenn Thomas said, "I'm going home to drink a beer." Classmate Stephen King said, "I like beer."
And the rest, as the saying goes, is history.
The two friends went on to graduate from MSU in 1988, and both joined established veterinary practices for several years. When they decided to break off and open their own practice in 1994, Tupelo was a natural fit.
Thomas's family has been in Tupelo for many generations. His grandfather owned TKE Pharmacy downtown. King said, "From my end, it was a blessing to be able to move here. Tupelo is a great place to raise kids."
King and Thomas joke about their humble beginnings, alternating days while one tended to patients and the other would tend the kennel and bathe animals. Today, the successful practice sees an average of 35 clients a day, with another 30 to 35 day-boarders who stay at "Camp Tupelo."
In fact, the hospital is so busy, they are looking to add another associate to the practice.
The two doctors said the biggest health threat to pets is weight-related issues, which can cause a number of other issues including arthritis. They also said that this time of year, parasites are a big threat to pets. King said parasites are not a problem limited to spring. Measures to prevent parasites should be taken year-round.
Thomas added that the fire hydrant out front has been a source of amusement for years. He said the fire department has made a few visits to inspect it and have even painted it white, in keeping with their policy, twice.
The hydrant, of course, is meant only for the relief of their canine clients, not for putting out fires.
OWNERS: Glenn S. Thomas and Stephen K. King
ESTABLISHED: Jan.13, 1994

Cross site scripting uses
recently I learned some web page hacking and it went well. The tutorial covered SQL injection, brute forcing, file inclue / upload vulnerabilities and other stuff. Everything went well, however I still have a huge question mark on cross-site scripting.
What can you do with this kind of vulnerability ?
I mean, I understand you could add javascript for example, but it runs only locally. I don't really see the point on adding javascript code that would run only on your computer. And if you manage to get someone else to click on a malicious link, wouldn't it be better to just craft a website exactly for your needs ? I'm sure there's a very obvious use but I can't see it.
Please enlight me =)

IPv6 under Linux 2.6 seems to kill name resolution
Since some time I've been wondering why name resolution under my 2.6 box was so slow. I even set up a local caching-only nameserver and it didn't helped at all.
Today, after I read Jeremy Wells review of Ubuntu on OSnews I gave his tip on ipv6 module loading prevention a try. Woo ! Now name resolution is working again at the same level it should be always working.
I already did it to my two home machines (my router and my laptop) and now they are much better to work with when it comes to name resolution (i.e. always for me).
In time : I'm using Debian unstable, not Ubuntu.

Where I stayed
We stopped for the night at Ozark and were amazed to watch the temperature on the gauge in the car rise almost by the minute. It went from the 54 degrees at Shelbyville to 84 when we arrived at Ozark, a distance of about 300 miles. Yvonne liked the idea of staying at Ozark for as tenuous a reason as those for staying a Shelbyville - she remembers an American band from the 70's called the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, although couldn't recall a single song title!
Even though we were travelling rapidly to the south, we couldn't pass through Alabama without going to Montgomery where we paused briefly and Yvonne went to see the civil rights memorial, although the museum itself was closed by the time we arrived. It was peaceful, sunny and warm and Yvonne found the memorial moving. The memorial has water flowing over it and there were black freedom songs playing. It listed the significant events in the American civil rights movement, which included Rosa Parks protest, killings by the Klu Klux Klan and ended with the assassination of Martin Luther King in 1968.

Chemical leak contaminates W.Va. water
Substance's properties are largely unknownJanuary 11, 2014 12:03 AM
SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Jeff Kessler stayed calm in the middle of a busy four-lane road Friday afternoon next to a Chevy pick-up truck with a sign that read "NO WATER RIGHT NOW."
The South Charleston firefighter estimated that in 21/2 hours, 1,000 drivers slowed and rolled down their windows to ask when they could get water from a filling center.
Sometimes before they even said a word, he held up his hand -- all five fingers -- to say the next supply would be ready at 5 p.m.
Most people politely thanked him and drove on.
"I don't have water," one woman said, adding that she's been looking everywhere for some since Thursday night.
A chemical leak Thursday in West Virginia's capital and most populous city closed schools, offices and businesses and left 300,000 people without drinking water.
Federal authorities are investigating how the foaming agent, with its distinct licorice smell, escaped a chemical plant and leaked into the Elk River. While the chemical isn't deadly, officials told residents not to drink the water, wash clothes or bathe in it.
The Brother's Brother Foundation announced today that it is working with Gleaning for the World to provide water in the area. Gleaning for the World sent six tractor trailer loads of bottled water to FEMA and faith-based distribution sites.
West Virginia American Water president Jeff McIntyre said officials are working with the company that makes the chemical to determine how much can be in the water without it posing harm to residents.
"We don't know that the water's not safe. But I can't say that it is safe," Mr. McIntyre said Friday.
The president of the company where the leak occurred said Friday evening it's unclear how much of the material passed through a hole in the bottom of a steel tank, prompting state and federal disaster declarations and an order to not use the water in nine of the state's counties.
Freedom Industries' president Gary Southern also said the company hasn't determined how the hole formed but suggested the recent cold temperatures might have played a role.
The company learned of the breach at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, he said, adding that they worked through the night to remove the chemical from the site. He said the chemical is of low toxicity and that it wouldn't be harmful to fish or wildlife.
The tank that leaked holds at least 40,000 gallons, said state Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Tom Aluise, though officials believe no more than 5,000 gallons leaked from the tank. Some of that was contained before escaping into the river, he said.
No more than six people went to emergency rooms with symptoms that may be linked to the chemical, but none was in serious or critical condition, West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources Secretary Karen L. Bowling said Friday afternoon.
South Charleston assistant fire Chief Virgil White, 43, said residents seemed calmer a day after the news broke.
"[Thursday] night was a melee," he said. "It was mass hysteria -- literally."
Many drivers along MacCorkle Avenue near the distribution center seemed calm, even after learning a tanker expected at 3 p.m. wouldn't be available for a few more hours. By 5 p.m., firefighters removed the sign from the truck bed and crews were filling containers with water from a tanker.
The distribution center -- probably one of the busiest, Mr. Kessler, 32, said -- had so far served residents from Kanawha County, where the leak occurred, and neighboring Putnam, Jackson and Boone counties.
Earlier, Mr. Kessler brought 60 cases of water to residents in the rural community of Loudendale, with backup from a police escort.
Officials also helped get water to the elderly.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin at a Friday news conference said there was no shortage of bottled water.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency also planned to deliver more than a million liters of water from nearby Maryland, and several companies were sending bottled water and other supplies, including Pepsi and the Coca-Cola Co., the governor said.
"If you are low on bottled water, don't panic because help is on the way," he said.
Some southwestern Pennsylvania water haulers, including Al's Water Service in Canton, Washington County, helped transport clean drinking water to affected areas. A Pennsylvania American Water Co. spokeswoman said 17 tankers from the region were en route Friday.
The leak affected big-box retailers, where customers cleared shelves of water and other supplies, and forced many small businesses from restaurants to nail salons to close.
Jeff Hamrick, Mr. Kessler's cousin, closed his business, Reds Barber Shop, per an order from the West Virginia Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists.
He estimated he was losing hundreds of dollars Friday, calling the business his "livelihood." He tried to keep busy around the house Friday.
"That doesn't do anything to help pay the bills," Mr. Hamrick, 46, said. "It's about the worst thing."
Near the water distribution site at the Gestamp plant in South Charleston, one business remained open: Kelly's Hot Spot, where employee Shelley Hall, 43, said she's had more than her usual crowd come in to play the machines, some finding it a refuge of sorts.
"We had to turn people away," she said.
Elsewhere, though, frustration set in. By mid-afternoon Friday, seven civil lawsuits had been filed against Freedom Industries or both it and the water company, some by local businesses, in Kanawha County Circuit Court. The Charleston Daily Mail reported that Freedom Industries contacted the Kanawha County sheriff's office after receiving a veiled threat by phone.
By Friday night, as some filling centers were scheduled to close, the licorice smell still lingered in the air.
Although he said it didn't take his breath away, Mr. Kessler said: "It was so pungent [Thursday] you couldn't stand it."
Freedom Industries was ordered to stop storing chemicals in areas where they could flow into the containment dike that failed in Thursday's leak, said Mr. Aluise.
The West Virginia National Guard has been running hourly tests on the chemical's concentration since Thursday night. One part per million is considered a safe level; the level has dropped from 2 to 1.7 parts per million, said Maj. Gen. James A. Hoyer, adjutant general of West Virginia.

- How to Read a Study Record
- Behcet s disease (BD) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the body. People with BD may develop oral or genital ulcers, skin problems, and eye disease. Most drugs used to treat BD suppress the immune system, but they are not always helpful and may have side effects. A new drug, anakinra, may be able to treat BD with fewer side effects. Because it has not been studied in people with BD, anakinra is considered an experimental treatment.
- To test whether anakinra can be a safe and effective treatment for Behcet s disease.
- People who have active Behcet's disease, with an oral or genital ulcer within the past month, or three or more flares of eye disease in the past 6 months.
- Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. They will also have blood and urine tests. They will be divided into two groups: those with oral or genital ulcers and those with eye disease.
- All participants will keep a diary of symptoms for a month before starting the study drug.
- Participants with oral or genital ulcers will receive daily injections of anakinra for 3 to 6 months. Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood draws and daily diaries. Those who improve but do not have a full response to the drug may receive a higher dose. Those who improve after 6 months may have an extra 6 months on either anakinra or placebo to study the differences in response.
- Participants with eye disease will receive anakinra for up to 12 months. Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood draws, daily diaries, and regular eye exams.
- All participants will have a final study visit 1 month after stopping the study drug.

|Official Title:
|A Pilot Study of Anakinra in Behcet's Disease (BD)
- Assess treatment response (number of oral ulcers/inflammatory eye disease) to anakinra over 12-16 months of observation. [ Time Frame: 12 and 16 months ]
- Clinical and biochemical indicators of inflammation, total number of responders, long term clinical and biochemical response, and safety. [ Time Frame: Day 85-end of study ]

|Primary Completion Date:
|October 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Drug: Anakinra
Autoinflammatory diseases are illnesses characterized by episodes of inflammation that, unlike autoimmune disorders, lack the production of high titer autoantibodies or antigen-specific T cells. There is growing genetic and clinical evidence that Interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays a pathogenic role in several of these diseases. This exploratory study aims to examine the utility of anakinra in the treatment of adult subjects with Behcet s Disease (BD), a disease which shows similarities to the known anakinra-responsive autoinflammatory disorders, familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS) and Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS). Anakinra is a recombinant form of the human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist that has been studied in RA and the autoinflammatory disorders. It has a half life of 4 to 6 hours with a FDA approved recommended dose of 100 mg/day subcutaneously for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
This pilot study is designed to address: 1) the utility of anakinra in the treatment of BD; 2) the effect of anakinra on laboratory biomarkers in BD; and 3) an exploratory assessment of the safety of anakinra in individuals with Behcet s Disease.
Subjects with oral or genital ulcers will receive anakinra for three to six months. If five of the initial seven patients have a positive response, up to 20 patients with oral or genital ulcers will then be randomized to withdrawal or continuation of drug for six months once placebo is available. Patients with eye disease will be treated with anakinra for a total of twelve months without randomization to withdrawal. Clinical and biochemical correlates of inflammation will be measured at appropriate intervals to assess response and to further understand disease mechanisms.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 65 Years (Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:

Pagels, Sigmund to discuss 'Da Vinci Code,' Dec. 1
Posted November 18, 2004; 05:34 p.m.
Two Princeton faculty members will lead a discussion on "'The Da Vinci Code' and the Politics of Early Christianity" at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 1, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Elaine Pagels , the Harrington Spear Paine Professor of Religion, and Paul Sigmund , professor of politics, will speak on the 2003 bestselling novel by Dan Brown. The discussion will follow the showing of an ABC News program, "Jesus, Mary and Da Vinci," that investigated many of the theories raised in the book.
Pagels is the author of "Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas" (2003), which spent several months on The New York Times bestseller list, and of "Beyond Belief" (1979), which Brown claims provided the building blocks for "The Da Vinci Code." Sigmund, whose specialties include religion and politics, is teaching a class this semester on "Ancient and Medieval Political Theory." He has translated the political writings of Thomas Aquinas and Nicholas of Cusa.
The panel is sponsored by the Department of Politics .

Rob Douglas' column appears Fridays in the Steamboat Today. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Find more columns by Douglas here.
Steamboat Springs Dear Sen. Lindsey Graham,
As you know, "with all due respect" usually means the opposite in political parlance. To be specific, in Washington, D.C., jargon, it often means the party employing the phrase believes the party being addressed is akin to the hind end of a gelding.
With that understanding, let's proceed.
Senator, with all due respect, your suggestion that the United States boycott the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, is the dumbest idea to emanate from our nation's capital since Rep. Hank Johnson suggested in 2010 that Guam could capsize if the military stationed additional personnel on the island.
On Tuesday, to the bewilderment and disgust of every American equipped with an IQ above that of a turnip, you told The Hill that President Barack Obama should consider boycotting the Olympics in February if Russia grants asylum to NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden. Given that many in your profession can't remember the nonsense they said one day earlier, much less three, let's review the utterances that have folks calling you the Jimmy Carter of the Republican Party.
"I would just send the Russians the most unequivocal signal I could send them," you told The Hill. "It might help because what they're doing is outrageous. We certainly haven't reset our relationship with Russia in a positive way. At the end of the day, if they grant this guy asylum it's a breach of the rule of law as we know it and is a slap in the face to the United States."
In typical D.C. fashion, you promoted your proposed Olympic boycott with a media blitz. Here's what you told NBC News:
"I love the Olympics, but I hate what the Russian government is doing throughout the world. If they give asylum to a person I believe has committed treason against the United States, that's taking it to a new level."
Going further, according to NBC News, you "suggested that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin's actions should raise the specter of the pre-World War II Berlin games hosted by Adolf Hitler's regime."
Senator, with all due respect, the first rule of political argument is never make comparisons to Hitler or the Nazis. The only atrocities comparable to those conducted by the Nazis under Hitler are those of the communist regimes of Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin.
Given that Steamboat Springs — known to the world as Ski Town USA — is the hometown of 79 athletes who've competed in the Winter Olympics since 1932, more than any other town in the U.S., I'm tempted to point out that only an imbecile would suggest boycotting the Olympics because the Obama administration and Congress are incompetent when it comes to dealing with Putin.
I'm tempted to point out that in Washington, you're best known as Sen. John McCain's Mini-Me and that McCain thinks a boycott is a foolish idea.
I'm tempted to point out that Speaker of the House John Boehner said about you, "He's dead wrong. Why would we want to punish U.S. athletes who've been training three years to compete in the Olympics over a traitor who can't find a place to call home?"
Finally, I'm tempted to point out that you couldn't begin to understand the training regimen and sacrifice that Olympic athletes undertake given that the only competition you excel at is elbowing other senators aside when a television camera is present.
I'm tempted to make those points — and many more from the same vein — but I won't. After all, to do so might be considered disrespectful.
So instead, I'll adopt the words of U.S. Olympic Committee spokesman Patrick Sandusky.
"If there are any lessons to be learned from the American boycott of 1980, it is that Olympic boycotts do not work," Sandusky said. "Our boycott of the 1980 Olympic games did not contribute to a successful resolution of the underlying conflict. It did, however, deprive hundreds of American athletes, all of whom had completely dedicated themselves to representing our nation at the Olympic Games, of the opportunity of a lifetime."
Senator, heed those wise words and stop calling for the sacrifice of Olympic athletes on the altar of American foreign policy.
With all due respect,
Rob Douglas

More than half a million children are currently trapped in the foster care system.
Being removed from a home and placed in foster care is a difficult and stressful experience for any child. Many of these children have suffered some form of serious abuse or neglect.
The Midwest Foster Care and Adoption Association based in Independence is going to some extraordinary lengths, including hiring private investigators, to try and locate family members who might be willing to adopt a hard to place child who might otherwise languish for years in the foster care system.
They call their program "Extreme Recruitment" and last year they found homes for 22 foster children, including a home for 10-year-old Demaje, whose mother abandoned him in Kansas City. In January, Demaje's uncle was awarded temporary custody by Jackson County Family Court. Demaje has returned to his family in California.
The Midwest Foster Care and Adoption Association says they hope to find homes for forty children this year as part of their extreme recruitment program.
That segment was produced by Bryan Shepard at LINC, a KCPT partner organization which works to improve the lives of children and families in the Kansas City region.

CORINTH – The Corinth city board is expected today to take action after the unauthorized destruction of a historic building in downtown Corinth.
The board met in closed session on Thursday, but delayed a vote until they could consult further with Mississippi Department of Archives and History representative and historic preservation coordinator Michelle Jones.
The 1920s-era gas station building at Fillmore and Foote streets, which until recently housed the Downtown Carwash, was bulldozed late in the day on May 23, soon after building inspector Greg Tyson had left the work site with the understanding that all work on the building was done for the day.
CTS General Construction Services of Memphis had been working on necessary asbestos removal before the structure could be properly reinforced and saved.
Tyson said he later was told by Pete Kromberger of CTS, who was supervising the work, that as they removed a final piece of flashing around the roofline, the building began to crumble and had to be taken down.
The city board must now decide what, if any, penalty to impose on building owner John Dodd. Workers had begun demolition of the building on April 13, without a proper permit. The destruction was halted when discovered by a city worker, and the city prohibited further demolition.
The building is in the downtown historic district and requires a permit from the Corinth Preservation Commission, of which Dodd was once a member, before renovation or demolition work could be done.
As a Certified Local Government, Corinth stands to lose tax credits it offers for properly completed preservation work in the historic district.
The work supervisor had no authority to make a unilateral decision to demolish the building, said attorney Bill Davis, who is representing the city in the matter.
"This total demolition was not part of the agreement with the city concerning the asbestos abatement," Davis said. "There was ample time for him to call a city official, call me or review the situation with someone before taking such a drastic step."

Dried spearmint leaves make a minty, refreshing drink that is highly satisfying both hot and cold. A native of the Mediterranean, peppermint leaves were often used to crown luminaries in ancient Greece and Rome. It continues to be revered for its refreshingly light aroma, as well as its natural, caffeine-free taste. If you have yet to try gourmet spearmint tea, you'll be pleasantly surprised by its superior flavor. Our organic spearmint tea is made with the finest US grown organic spearmint.
Spearmint is a herb that naturally contains no caffeine.
