I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I agree with the title of this thread, though not all the arguements made within it.
Argueing as to what is "Star Wars" and to what is not "Star Wars" from a subjective position is pointless. We could write our own fanfiction and call it EU and thus make it "Star Wars". I would argue that something is "Star Wars" is objective and that is determined by Lucasfilm Liscensing. If ol' George bestows on to you the right to publish or produce something under the lable of Star Wars, then it is Star Wars, period. Just saying the movies are "Star Wars" and everything else is not is silly. Who are we to make that determination?
As to what is canon is a slightly different story and I is more flexible. I personally figure that Leland Chee is the Supreme Court of the SW universe, sweeping up and attempting to organize the growing mess of "Star Wars" lisence as it produces wild and often difficult to reconcile facts due to its ignorant contributors. But that is just my take.
When it comes down to "What is Star Wars to ME," that is totally subjective to the individual. I am not a fan of NJO or Legacy (comics or books). While I acknowledge that it is "Star Wars," it is not Star Wars to me. Star Wars to me generally covers the movie era, and the events occuring shortly before or after. I make some exceptions (Love KOTOR and Crimson Empire), but that is generall what I am interested in and follow.
As to the statemet of the thread, I do agree. I personally feel the EU is becoming too congested and stretching out too far. I am particularly sensitive to the Clone Wars series as I feel it is trampling all over the things written (and purchased by myself) prior. I would like to see more exploration between Episodes III and IV as they cover nearly 20 years and have almost nothing written about them. Either that or more KOTOR era stuff, albiet mindful of the fact that it is in past, with limited technolgies.

I've wondered about SSH md5 fingerprints. When I SSH somewhere new I get this:
The authenticity of host '192.168.0.123' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint in md5 is: 59:94:5a:d7:2b:1f:ad:6e:ef:24:4c:71:1d:3c:3b:4a Are you sure you want to continue connecting(yes/no)?yes Warning: Permanently added '192.168.0.123' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Now I understand that the idea with the md5 fingerprint is that if I know the correct md5 fingerprint on the other side I can know if I'm getting a man-in-the-middle attack. The thing is. There are cases in which I could easily verify that md5 fingerprint except I don't have the slightest idea how to do it. Does anyone know how to check it? If so, why doesn't SSH include breif insturctions in the above warning?
Even the security-minded folks I know just say "assume you arent' getting attacked on your first connection and then you get security from then on."

Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee of Rush Choose 22 Songs That Inspired Them Most
"SHAPES OF THINGS" Jeff Beck, Truth (1968)
This is another song we covered on Feedback. Jeff Beck has a tone like no one else, maybe because he doesn't play with a pick very much. He also has a very strong left hand and can move the strings almost effortlessly.
He's still cranking it out today, but he doesn't put out albums as often as I'd like; he works only when he feels like it. Before Truth, Beck was an integral part of the Yardbirds, and their recording of this song is great. But this version, with Rod Stewart's voice on top, adds a whole new element to the song.
It sounds tougher, bigger and beefier.

We have a spending problem
Gov. Dayton has proposed a budget that will make Minnesota worse, not better, increasing your taxes by $2.976 billion (8.5 percent) and paying for $1.64 billion of built-in (automatic) spending increases and $1.031 billion in new spending. When will the Democrats wake up and realize we have a spending problem?
The proposed budget undermines job and economic growth and is weighted entirely toward new revenue. Most striking, the high-level budget fails to highlight any specific new expenditure reductions. Very little in the budget says Minnesota is open for business.
Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma have proposed full phaseouts of their income taxes, while Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio are pushing significant tax cuts. Minnesota is an expansion of tax and spend!
Dayton is pushing for anti-competitive tax increases on the middle class and small business community in tandem with a collection of regressive tax hikes on middle and lower income families' with no spending cuts, and we are to believe this is a balanced approach? See a problem?
Contrary to political rhetoric coming out of St. Paul right now, Minnesota's revenues have climbed (up $1.076 billion for 2012-13 biennium) and its unemployment plummeted after two years of a stable tax code.
Of course, the Democrats will tell you that state government was cut to the bone and these tax increases are needed. State spending still increased 5.9 percent in the 2010-11 budget and by 7.2 percent in the 2012-13 budget all the while erasing a $6.4 billion and $5.2 billion deficits.
Instead of a rebate, how about reducing taxes and letting me keep that to begin with? Giving me a handout while picking my pocket at the same time isn't responsible budgeting. It's a sham!

November 2009 — GAO´s Comments on First Round of Recipient Reporting
What GAO FoundBack to top
As of September 30, 2009, approximately $173 billion of the $787 billion—or about 22 percent—of the total funds provided by the Recovery Act had been paid out by the federal government. Nonfederal recipients of Recovery Act–funded grants, contracts, and loans are required to submit reports with information on each project or activity, including the amount and use of funds and an estimate of jobs created or retained. Of the $173 billion in funds paid out, about $47 billion—a little more than 25 percent—is covered by this recipient report requirement. Neither individuals nor recipients receiving funds through entitlement programs, such as Medicaid, or through tax programs are required to report. In addition, the required reports cover direct jobs created or retained as a result of Recovery Act funding; they do not include the employment impact on materials suppliers (indirect jobs) or on the local community (induced jobs).
On October 30, www.recovery.gov (the federal Web site on Recovery Act spending) reported that more than 100,000 recipients reported hundreds of thousands of jobs created or retained. Given the national scale of the recipient reporting exercise and the limited time frames in which it was implemented, the ability of the reporting mechanism to handle the volume of data from a wide variety of recipients represents a solid first step in moving toward more transparency and accountability for federal funds. Because this effort will be an ongoing process of cumulative reporting, GAO's first review represents a snapshot in time.
Data Reporting and Quality
While recipients GAO contacted appear to have made good faith efforts to ensure complete and accurate reporting, GAO's fieldwork and initial review and analysis of recipient data from www.recovery.gov, indicate that there are a range of significant reporting and quality issues that need to be addressed.
For example, GAO's review of prime recipient reports identified the following:
Erroneous or questionable data entries that merit further review
- 3,978 reports that showed no dollar amount received or expended but included more than 50,000 jobs created or retained;
- 9,247 reports that showed no jobs but included expended amounts approaching $1 billion, and
- Instances of other reporting anomalies such as discrepancies between award amounts and the amounts reported as received which, although relatively small in number, indicate problematic issues in the reporting.
While OMB estimates that more than 90 percent of recipients reported, questions remain about the other 10 percent.
Quality review
While less than 1 percent were marked as having undergone review by the prime recipient, over three quarters of the prime reports were marked as having undergone review by a federal agency.
Full–time equivalents (FTE)
Under OMB guidance, jobs created or retained were to be expressed as FTEs. GAO found that data were reported inconsistently even though significant guidance and training was provided by OMB and federal agencies. While FTEs should allow for the aggregation of different types of jobs—part time, full time or temporary—differing interpretations of the FTE guidance compromise the ability to aggregate the data.
To illustrate, in California, two higher education systems calculated FTE differently. In the case of one, officials chose to use a 2–month period as the basis for the FTE performance period. The other chose to use a year as the basis for the FTE. The result is almost a three–to–one difference in the number of FTEs reported for each university system in the first reporting period. Although the Department of Education provides alternative methods for calculating an FTE, in neither case does the guidance explicitly state the period of performance of the FTE.
Although there were problems of inconsistent interpretation of the guidance, the reporting process went relatively well for highway projects. Transportation had an established procedure for reporting prior to enactment of the Recovery Act. In the cases of Education and Housing, which do not have this prior reporting experience, GAO found more problems. Some of these have been reported in the press. State and federal officials are examining these problems and have stated their intention to deal with them.
GAO will continue to monitor and review the data reporting and quality issues in its bimonthly reviews and fieldwork on the use of funds in the 16 states and the District of Columbia, and in GAO's analysis of future quarterly recipient reporting.
GAO's RecommendationsBack to top
To improve the consistency of FTE data collection and reporting, OMB should
- clarify the definition and standardize the period of measurement for FTEs and work with federal agencies to align this guidance with OMB's guidance and across agencies;
- given its reporting approach, consider being more explicit that "jobs created or retained are to be reported as hours worked and paid for with Recovery Act funds" and
- continue working with federal agencies and encourage them to provide or improve program–specific guidance to assist recipients, especially as it applies to the full–time equivalent calculation for individual programs.
OMB should also work with the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board and federal agencies to re–examine review and quality assurance processes, procedures, and requirements in light of experiences and identified issues with this round of recipient reporting and consider whether additional modifications need to be made and if additional guidance is warranted.
Employment EffectsBack to top
Even if the data quality issues are resolved, it is important to recognize that the FTEs in recipient reports alone do not reflect the total employment effects of the Recovery Act. As noted, these reports solely reflect direct employment arising from the expenditure of less than one–third of Recovery Act funds. Therefore, both the data reported by recipients and other macroeconomic data and methods are necessary to gauge the overall employment effects of the stimulus. The Recovery Act includes entitlements and tax provisions, which also have employment effects. The employment effects in any state will vary with labor market stress and fiscal condition, as discussed in this report.
Why GAO Did This StudyBack to top
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) requires recipients of funding from federal agencies to report quarterly on jobs created or retained with Recovery Act funding. The first recipient reports filed in October 2009 cover activity from February through September 30, 2009. GAO is required to comment on the jobs created or retained as reported by recipients.
GAO performed an initial set of basic analyses on the final recipient report data that first became available at www.recovery.gov on October 30, 2009; reviewed documents; interviewed relevant state and federal officials; and conducted fieldwork in selected states, focusing on a sample of highway and education projects.

Named Areas at the Library
William H. & Marion C. Alexander Family Library
The Librarian's Office
Kathryn (Kay) Witmer Sandel was born and raised in Hummelstown. Valedictorian of the Hummelstown High School Class of 1929, she earned an undergraduate degree from Lebanon Valley College and a graduate degree in library science from Syracuse University. Kay began her career as high school librarian at the Hershey Industrial School (now Milton Hershey School). In the early 1950s, she was one of the founders and first librarian of the earliest Hummelstown Library, housed in a basement on the Center Square. When the Lower Dauphin High School opened in 1960, Kay was again the first librarian.
Kay met George, a Bucknell University graduate and English teacher, at the Hershey Industrial School. They married after World War II and raised two daughters just a block from the new library. In the 1960s, George earned a masters degree in library science from Drexel University and became the first librarian at Catherine Hall, Milton Hershey School's middle school. He also led the fund-raising effort when the Hummelstown Library expanded its facilities in the 1980's. Over many decades Kay and George donated countless hours in community service to improve life for Hummelstown's residents, for which both were recognized in 1984 with the Lion's Club Honor Citizen of the Year Award.
George and Kay loved reading and valued life-long learning. Lynn and Betsy's earliest childhood memories include weekly trips to the library, first being read to, then learning to read, and later using libraries to gather information for school projects and papers. Libraries were central to life in the Sandel family.
In appreciation of their parents' commitment to libraries and learning, the Sandel daughters have donated the Librarian's Office of the Library. There seems no better choice to honor the memory of these two quintessential librarians.

From producer Larry Fessenden (Wendigo) and filmmaker Jim Mickle (Mulberry Street) comes this minimal, profound tale of a vampire plague in America. A mercenary called "Mister" (co-writer Nick Damici) rescues a teenage boy (Connor Paolo) from vampires. Mister schools the boy in killing, and they head north for "New Eden" (a/k/a Canada). They adopt fellow travelers: a hardy nun rescued from rapists (Kelly McGillis), a pregnant folk singer (Danielle Harris), and an ex-soldier (Sean Nelson) left for dead by members of a racist Christian militia. The realistic dialogue, dreamy photography, and heady score revalorize the undead genre, eschewing Zombieland's hipster humor and Survival of theDead's odd provincialism. This is The Road meets Testament by way of The Devil's Rejects, in the best possible way: a brutal, elegiac take on how a post-apocalyptic America might look and feel.

|Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson
The controversial couple recently had another big fight in Dubai, where Sam took up DJ duties at the grand opening of the billion-dollar hotel Atlantis, The Palm resort in the United Emirates. The Daily Mail reports:
A source said, "At one stage Lindsay approached Sam in the DJ booth and screamed at her, 'How many more songs? How long ist going to take for you to pack up?'" Another source adds, "Lindsay and Sam fight every day, screaming, crying, and yelling at each other. Sam and Lindsay are very much together and very much in love, but drama just seems to follow Lindsay, and Sam hates it."
It is rumored that the couple are in therapy together after almost coming to blows at a London nightclub when Sam caught Lindsay dancing with her ex Calum Best. "Every day for Sam means questioning, 'Is this worth it?'" the insider says.
Usually, when a someone mentions catfight, I perk up at the thought, imagining two beautiful women clawing and tearing at each other's clothes until both are naked and locked in a steamy embrace. But when the names Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan get thrown in, I'm like, no thanks. I may be a perv, but not pervert enough to watch this two go at it. Everybody knows what Lindsay is missing and why she's been so uptight lately.

So my question is: Shouldn't it be possible do build a UPS, that consumes a lot less, when in "normal" operational mode?
13W for 750W is only 1.73%.
I would focus on the end power needed. In the case of a server, you're typically looking at 12VDC for the HDD's and 5VDC for the board. PicoUPS .....that plug directly into existing motherboards.

The Science of Sleep

Stages of Sleep
Stages of Sleep
It refreshes us like nothing else. It can be occasionally elusive, almost always comforting, and definitely essential to our survival. And although we spend 33% of our lives asleep, we barely give it a moment's notice....until we can't sleep. Then we think about it to the point of obsession.
For millions of people, the consequences of a poor night's sleep – higher stress, increased mistakes, difficulty concentrating – are every day occurrences. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Kim Kardashian recently stepped out by herself in NYC last night, and even though her boyfriend Kanye West wasn't by her side as usual, she did bring part of him with her.
The 31-year-old reality starlet wore a gorgeous white dress and leather jacket to match her infamous Kanye West for Giuseppe Zanotti shoes!

The shoes are a shorter version of the pair Kim was spotted wearing at Paris Fashion week earlier this year before the two officially became a couple.
It looks like when Kimmy is in love, she'll go above and beyond to represent for her man.
Kim and Kanye have had really hectic schedules lately between Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music Cruel Summer album being set for release next week, and all of Kim's Kardashian Kollection obligations with her sisters.
But busy man Kanye still found time for his fans. The rapper was photo'd signing autographs in the middle of the NYC streets.
What a nice guy!

We're glad these two can still constantly think of each other while apart!
Check out Kim in her man's shoes and him showing love to his fans in the gallery above.

Today I wrote a very little Perl program, called 'gale' that creates HTML galleries.
Well, what it really does is to create a thumbnail of each image found in the working directory using ImageMagick's 'convert' program, and then to write an 'index.html' with each thumbnail linking to its corresponding image.
I recognize it's very simple and very ugly, but I'm only trying to (re)learn how to program in Perl. Excuse me, please.
Update (21:59 GMT -0500): I decided to upgrade the program. Well, it's actually a minor upgrade, only. Now, it creates a single HTML file for each image in the gallery, and you can place a comment for it. Nicer, ¿no? :-)

Welcome to Explorations Program
Since 1989, nearly 4,500 students have begun their studies at the University of Maine in Explorations. In the early years, there had only been approximately 100 new students enrolled in the program annually. Most recently, tremendous interest has resulted in nearly 250 students enter during the academic year.
Through a special first-year seminar and close contact with advisors, students in Explorations engage in structured activities that enable them to make informed choices for a major or potential career. By the end of the first year, students generally feel more confident in identifying an academic program, which suits their abilities and intellectual or career interests. At the time of declaration of major or transfer to a college, students must meet the eligibility requirements (e.g., GPA) of the particular major or college of interest.
Students are assigned an advisor and placed into an FYE100 first-year seminar course as Undecided or Undecided Honors.

Vigil for Haiti planned
Posted January 13, 2010; 06:13 p.m.
A nondenominational gathering in support of the people of Haiti and those who are suffering in the wake of the catastrophic earthquake is planned for 5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 14, in the Princeton University Chapel.
The gathering will include prayers, silence, spoken reflections, a choral anthem and the lighting of candles. It is sponsored by the University's Office of Religious Life and will be led by the deans of religious life, the Chapel Choir and the Catholic chaplain.
The vigil is open to all.
Although no currently enrolled Princeton students appear to have been in Haiti during the earthquake, a number of University employees have family members who live in the country and are affected. The Office of Human Resources is communicating with employees about services and benefits available, including emergency confidential counseling. More information is available on the human resources website or by calling the office at (609) 258-3300 or e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Probably was an AS, read the post Juro put in the new Great Lakes section, tells all about Lake Ontario AS which were native to it at one time. They have been trying to restock them for a 100 years with out much success. Consider your self a very fortunate man catching one in your short visit there.
Unfortunately they didn't have the book in the bibliofind. Dang it. I'll keep my eyes open. I'd love to tie a full featherwing fly. I'm a hands on type guy. Once I learn it I can usually reprocate it easily. But have to actually see how it's done vs. look in a book.
Will keep my eyes peeled.
Hey Hal, yeah, I thought I may have been losing my mind. It could've been a sea run Brown, I've seen pictures and they look quite similar. I'll just take it as an AS and call it that.
hairwings vs. married feather or whole feather or built wings...
the married wings and crest topping take practice, like anything else. a solid foundation is imperative. one of the best books i think you can get is Dr. T.E. Pryce-Tannat's original How to Dress Atlantic Salmon Flies. there have been a couple of reprints since the 1914 original, the latest in 1977. the book is readiliy available from bibliofind.com (amazon.com). the 1977 book is denigrated by an additional section of vastly inferior "modern" flies, tied by who knows whom. One very valuable aspect of the book is that it teaches one how to tie without a vise, which offers some very significant advantages, if you are willing to give it a try.
Michael Radencich's book is also very very nice, some beautifully tied flies, adn good instructional material.
A great way to learn is to attend a workshop. there is an active community of full dress tiers in the pacific northwest. i had the opportunity to learn from derek brown, who is an extremely gifted (world class) full dress tier. he had a ratty old first edition of pryce-tannat's book he carried around with him, all falling apart, which he would reference frequently.
to me, nothing matches the incredible marriage of colors of a full dress fly in the water. the time on the fly takes a while, and i don't recommend dredging with them; although intermediate tips and greased line presentations are ideal. it was a thrill to catch several large salmon in russia on a full dress jock scott, and the steelhead like them too!
Hair wings I can do fairly OK
Feather wings have not touched yet. But they are on the list.
I like to tie flies I will fish and not be afraid of losing.
AS hairwing patterns are a little more difficult than most steelhead patterns but then again they are very similar.
Will be sending the AS flies out this weekend.
Need the pattern instructions for the "Blue Bayou"
BTW, I conversed with another forumn member who has fished the Niagara Gorge and yes I guess there are some Atlantics in there which have been stocked in Lake Ontario. Also could have been a lake run brown as they look very similar to the atlantics.
Arghhh! How do you AS fly tier's do it???
I love to tie flies. Depndding on my mood, Ii can tie up some really nice flies (depending on if I'm tying a hard fished fly or just a nice to look at fly). Hence my swap flies for the AS and Steelhead swaps were easy pattern to be fished hard without worry of losing.
Here's my frustration. Ii've always wanted to tie a nice hairwing AS fly. Sat down and put a design in my head and started to create it. Just something simple. GP crest for butt, silk body, some hackle aand guinea, a Amherst wing, and a gP crest overlay. Looked great all the way up to tehfinal touches of Amherst and GP crest. Fly crunched down. Mman, I retied that fly llike 8 times and finally gave up. SHEESH. It loked SOOOOOOOOO good with up to point of trying to get tthat last GP crest on. How do you guys do it???? I'd really love to see a full dressed salmon fly be tied. Ii spent a good solid 2 hours tying that fly (mind you it wasn't as technical as some of those AS flies) and was disapointed I cuoldn't get it to finalzation.
Ii have so much respect for you guys. I can tie up a wicked hairwing (ask Doublespey), but am iin awe over featherwing creaters. Hhats off to you all.

Watching Chloe read a fashion magazine makes you think of Alexander Woollcott devouring a ten-pound lobster a l'americaine or Casanova undressing a servant girl.
"I used to tell my parents I was going to Greenwich or New Rochelle. Then I'd drive into the city. The summer of '92 was when I first met everyone. I came to the city with two girls from Connecticut who were my homegirls. We'd go to Washington Square Park and I'd meet people. Ever skater in the city was there. I'd go every weekend and hang, and than stay at different skaters' homes."
She looks down at her jellies--transparents plastic sandals. Now that practically everybody's wearing big, chunky, cleated boots and platform sneakers--even people who shlump every day to offices uptown--Chloe has moved on. She's already gone.
Watching Chloe read a fashion magazine makes you think of Alexander Woollcott devouring a ten-pound lobster a l'americaine or Casanova undressing a servant girl.
"In the summer of '93, the ravers came in and took over Washington Square Park. If you were a geek in high school, you could be a raver. Anyone could go to a rave. At a hip-hop club, everyone's putting on a front. Everyone's tough. At a rave, everyone is high and mellow. But then heroin came along and made it much darker and more depressing. There was this big ecstasy dealer everybody knew on the scene. He died of a heroin overdose, and it really fucked everyone up. But they still do it."
Generally she shops at thrift stores; not at vintage shops, which are thrift stores with an attitude, and not even at Manhattan thrift stores--forget about Cheap Jack's and Andy's Chee-Pees, which she considers self-conscious and hopelessly picked over. Chloe favors places in Brooklyn and her native Connecticut.
Certainly anyone who has heard Chloe's laugh--which alternately suggests a mallard surprised into flight and a drowning victim gasping for air--would be hard-pressed to call her jaded. But it's probably her spacey aid of mystery and reserve as well as the street chic that keep causing people to ask, "Who is that girl?"
"So I say, Chloe, where do you want to be picked up tomorrow, and she says, 'I don't know,' and I say, 'What do you mean, you don't know?' and she says, 'I don't really live anywhere,' and I say, 'What? You're homeless? What am I, s'posed to pick you up at cardboard box No. 7?"
Finally, they decided to give Chloe a beeper, so they could find her each morning wherever she had crashed.
When Kids wraps a few days later, Chloe isn't sure what she'll do next. First she's got to move her stuff back up to her parents' house in Darien, simply because there isn't anyplace else to put it. She might go to London for a few weeks--she's never been. And then she's going to get her portfolio of drawings and apply to college.
Someday, somebody should erect a statue to Chloe in Tompkins Square Park, with the amazing legend, "She didn't want to be an actress or a model"--although she is going to do the Martin Margiella show at Charivari, since she likes Margiella clothes. What she thinks she'd really like to be is a costume designer for period films.
Clutching a wineglass and watching his friend, Feliciano says, "People want to project their desire on one girl. She's smart enough to hold back, and that allows us all to project whatever we want to. I could go on and on about Chloe, but actually I know very little about her."

10 Things The NRA Blamed For The Sandy Hook Massacre
Not guns. At a press conference Friday morning, the NRA's Wayne LaPierre offered up some other villains.
1. The Media
"Rather than face their own moral failings, the media demonize gun owners."
2. Video Games
"And here's another dirty little truth that the media try their best to conceal. There exists in this country, sadly, a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and stows violence against its own people. Through vicious, violent video games with names like 'Bullet Storm,' 'Grand Theft Auto,' 'Mortal Combat,' and 'Splatterhouse.'"
3. President Obama
"Ladies and gentlemen, there's no national one size fits all solution to protecting our children. But do know that this president zeroed out school emergency planning grants in last year's budget and scrapped Secure Our Schools policing grants in next year's budget."
4. Gun-Free School Zones
"The only way to answer that question is to face the truth. Politicians pass laws for gun free school zones, they issue press releases bragging about them. They post signs advertising them. And, in doing so, they tell every insane killer in America that schools are the safest place to inflict maximum mayhem with minimum risk."
5. Hurricanes
"Now, due to a declined willingness to prosecute dangerous criminals, violent crime is increasing again for the first time in 19 years. Add another hurricane, terrorist attack, or some other natural of manmade disaster, and you've got a recipe for a national nightmare of violence and victimization."
6. Sports Stadiums
"If we truly cherish our kids, more than our money, more than our celebrities, more than our sports stadiums, we must give them the greatest level of protection possible."
7. Celebrities
"If we truly cherish our kids, more than our money, more than our celebrities, more than our sports stadiums, we must give them the greatest level of protection possible."
8. Foreign Aid
"With all the foreign aid the United States does, with all the money in the federal budget, can't we afford to put a police officer in every single school?"
9. Movies
"I mean we have blood-soaked films out there, like 'American Psycho,' 'Natural Born Killers.' They're aired like propaganda loops on Splatterdays and every single day."
10. Music Videos
"1,000 music videos, and you all know this, portray life as a joke and they play murder — portray murder as a way of life. And then they all have the nerve to call it entertainment. But is that what it really is? Isn't fantasizing about killing people as a way to get your kicks really the filthiest form of pornography?"
- President Trump has signed an executive order that calls into questions national monument designations made in the past two decades.
- Scientists are bashing a big study claiming that humans were roaming the Americas by more than 100,000 years ago 💀

Common symptoms of jumper's knee include:
* pain directly over the patellar tendon (or more specifically, below the kneecap)
* stiffness of the knee, particularly while jumping, kneeling, squatting, sitting, or climbing stairs
* pain when bending the knee
* pain in the quadriceps muscle
* leg or calf weakness
Less common symptoms include:
* balance problems
* warmth, tenderness, or swelling around the lower knee
For mild to moderate jumper's knee, treatment includes:
* resting from activity or adapting a training regimen that greatly reduces any jumping or impact
* icing the knee to reduce pain and inflammation
* wearing a knee support or strap (called an intrapatellar strap or a Chopat strap) to help support the knee and patella. The strap is worn over the patellar tendon, just beneath the kneecap. A knee support or strap can help minimize pain and relieve strain on the patellar tendon.
* elevating the knee when it hurts (for example, placing a pillow under the leg)
* anti-inflammatory medications, like ibuprofen, to minimize pain and swelling
* massage therapy
* minimum-impact exercises to help strengthen the knee
* rehabilitation programs that include muscle strengthening, concentrating on weight-bearing muscle groups like the quadriceps and calf muscles
* specialized injections to desensitize nerve endings and reduce inflammation
On rare occasions, such as when there's persistent pain or the patellar tendon is seriously damaged, jumper's knee requires surgery. Surgery includes removing the damaged portion of the patellar tendon, removing inflammatory tissue from the lower area (or bottom pole) of the patella, or making small cuts on the sides of the patellar tendon to relieve pressure from the middle area.
Preventing Jumper's Knee
The most important factor in preventing jumper's knee is stretching. A good warm-up regimen that involves stretching the quadriceps, hamstring, and calf muscles can help prevent jumper's knee. It's always a good idea to stretch after exercising, too.
This condition is so common it has a nickname and multiple articles on nba.com So the question is, was this a failure of the Hornets medical team to diagnose a common condition, or a failure of Monty, the FO, and Gordon to communicate this? Or was it both? If he has an actual diagnosis which the specific treatment course prescribed by the doctor in Chicago suggests, why haven't they come out and given us a diagnosis? Why hasn't Gordon told people attacking him on twitter what his diagnosis is rather than just calling them idiots? This is either a trade demand or a colossal medical and PR fail.
this may very well be the biggest butt hurt statement of all time. congrats. we should make an award for this.
and nobody knows the full story and we probably never will, so there's no way we will ever know if it was or was not a PR, medical, or EG fail
someone on here made that tweet up.
nobody knows the full story and we probably never will
So we just have trolls on here making up tweets for Gordon?

On August 7, Texas plans to execute Marvin Wilson, a man who received a 61 on the standard Wechsler full-scale I.Q. test, a score placing him below the first percentile of human intelligence and far below the I.Q. threshold for mental retardation. Senator Rodney Ellis releases the following statement:
"I respectfully ask that the Court of Criminal Appeals grant a stay of execution for Mr. Marvin Wilson.
"In 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Atkins that the execution of offenders with mental retardation constitutes cruel and unusual punishment and violates the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution," Ellis continued.
"Unfortunately, Texas continues to circumvent the U.S. Supreme Court's categorical ban on the execution of offenders with mental retardation by developing its own set of determining factors for who will be exempt from execution. Not only are these Briseño factors not accepted by the scientific or medical community, they are not effective in excluding all offenders with mental retardation in accordance with Atkins. The Briseño factors have no basis in science, clearly fail under the law, and furthermore, violate any basic standard of justice and morality.
"Mr. Wilson's case is a clear example of how Texas law continues to violate the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution. I first filed legislation in 1999 to ban the execution of offenders with mental retardation. In 2001, the bill made it through both chambers, only to be vetoed by Governor Perry. Next session, I will file legislation to ensure that Texas implements the scientifically and medically accepted clinical criteria for mental retardation set out by the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, which was used by the U.S. Supreme Court in Atkins. Before we administer the ultimate penalty we must utilize standards to ensure we are in compliance with the Constitution of the United States.
"We do not execute children in the state of Texas, therefore we should not execute those who have the mental capacity of a child. The ultimate penalty should be reserved for those that can clearly comprehend why they are going to die."

It won't be long before Taiwan industry moves into high gear manufacturing for class III devices
The high tech manufacturing specialist industry in Taiwan is integrating its expertise in information technology with bioscience and healthcare.
Just eight years ago, 86 percent of composite medical devices manufactured in Taiwan were class I devices, which by definition are simple medical devices such as a basic blood pressure or blood sugar measuring device. Today, in 2012, 46.8 percent of medical devices manufactured in Taiwan are class II devices. There is a shift in market focus. "Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA), defines class II devices as advanced devices and class III devices as hi-tech invasive devices," informs Mr Michael Kuo, chairman of Taiwan Medical and Biotech Industry Association. He has been a witness to this manufacturing shift in Taiwan.
Mr Kuo's company Comdek Industrial Corp, established in 1985 was one of the early movers that established its biomedical R&D in 1992, and in 1996, Comdek launched the first "made-in-Taiwan" oximeter MD-600P. Since then, the innovation culture at the company continues.
According to Mr Kuo, it won't be long before Taiwan industry moves into high gear manufacturing for class III devices as well. "The push for the new manufacturing environment with a focus on the full supply chain is coming from the government," he elaborates. With tax benefits and funding support, the shift is likely to register as significant in as few as three years.
Today, in Taiwan, a number of OEMs are diversifying by launching their own brands and not just in the domestic market of Taiwan and China but beyond as well - in the highly regulated and complex markets of Europe.
For instance, Apex Medical, a well-established OEM of medical equipment, plans to take on the likes of Phillips and ResMed with its Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) System for treating obstructive sleep apnea. Branded as iCH series, these are lightweight, compact, well designed pieces that can sit at patient's bedside. The company already has 25 percent of CPAP devices market share in Taiwan and is gunning for 30 percent market share in China in the next five years. "Besides, it has been launched in Spain and we are looking at a launch in Germany by December 2012," shares Mr Sean Chang, director of product marketing, Asia Pacific at Apex Medical.
Another trend in Taiwan industry is the focus on the elderly-care market. The birth rate in Taiwan for 2011 was less than one percent. The country is hurtling towards joining the list of ageing countries. However, again it is not just the domestic market that the industry is looking at. Estimates by a Taiwan government agency state that 60 percent of the population globally will be over 65 years of age by 2050 and this is the big opportunity that Taiwanese industry is aiming to leverage on. Companies like Karma Medical are all set to cash on with a line-up of wheelchairs to fit the symptoms, lifestyle and even the upcoming reimbursement policies in Taiwan, to be made public in July 2012. This is in addition to being a well-established exporter of wheelchairs.

Review Details
Transit 2 Jacket
- Product Review (submitted on May 16, 2010):
I already had some Goretex leather pants from another manufacturer. I did not like their jacket so went with the Aerostitch Transit jacket. On receiving the jacket it was immediately obvious that the Aerostitch product was made better. Initially the jacket was stiff and I thought the front was too long. However after wearing it for a couple of days it fits like a glove. Totally waterproof in all day rain with the bonus of not holding water like a textile jacket. So walking into a cafe' from the rain is not so embarrassing and it drys much quicker. It is warmer on very cold days than my existing textile jacket from a very reputable manufacturer. My heated vest also works more effectively as the leather jacket keeps the vest closer to my body. I just wish I had purchased it earlier.
I have a couple of small negatives. The wrist zips gradually undo themselves an inch as I ride and I wish I had purchased the jacket a long time ago. I love it.

Mildred Inez Kammerude
Mildred Inez McQuillan Kammerude, aged 98, died on Thursday, January 17, 2013 at the Monroe Clinic Hospital of age-related complications. She was born on September 19, 1914, the first born to Frank and Clara (Wahler) McQuillan in Argyle, Wisconsin.
She attended Argyle Schools, graduating in 1933. Mildred married Lavern John Kammerude on September 30, 1935 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Blanchardville. They lived in various places while Lavern worked on bridge construction until they returned to the family farm in Yankee Hallow in Blanchard Township on Highway 78 near Blanchardville. After building a home there they raised their two sons Herb and Gary while farming the Kammerude and Kainz farms. The celebration of their 25th anniversary in 1960 was a most memorable family event.
Mildred was an active member of Immaculate Conception Church in Blanchardville and a member and past president of the Catholic Council of Women and also taught C.C.D. classes. She was a member of the Blanchardville American Legion Auxiliary. She actively supported her husband's interest in sulky horse racing at the county fairs with the most famous horse "Milvern Rod" named after her and her husband. Mildred also supported her husband in later years as Lavern became a self-taught artist, and was celebrated and renowned for his paintings of rural life and farm scenes. With her encouragement he painted over 600 paintings that are still displayed throughout the tri-state area. His paintings were celebrated in the book "Threshing Days: the Farm Paintings of Lavern Kammerude" and she shared in his honors by the State of Wisconsin and other artist groups. Her son Herbert died in June of 1982. Lavern died on September 26, 1989. Mildred moved to Blanchardville in 1990. Most recently she resided at St Clare Friedenshiem in Monroe.
Mildred was the oldest member of the Kammerude family and the last of her generation of the McQuillan family. She is survived by her son Gary David and his wife, Audrey of Orange, Virginia; her grandchildren Larry Kammerude of Oceanside, CA, Edward Kammerude of Luck, Wisconsin, Diane Rubsam of Wellsville, Ohio, Debra Kammerude of Richmond, VA, Pamela Pike of Springfield, VA, Jeff Heflin, Manassas,VA, Gary David Jr. of Warrenton, VA, Kristi Peterson of Killdevil Hills, NC, Anna Rae Dellapenta of Blacksburg, VA and 19 great grandchildren and great, great grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother-in-law Jonas Kammerude of rural Blanchardville and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, and her husband, her son Herbert and her siblings: Glenn, Paul, Marie Knobel, Virginia Currie, and Frank Kenneth.
The Mass of Christian Burial will take place at Immaculate Conception Church in Blanchardville on Thursday, January 24 at 11am with her nephew, Fr. Michael Klarer presiding. Visitation will precede the Mass beginning at 9:30am. Burial will be in the Calvary cemetery in Blanchardville. The Saether Funeral Home, Blanchardville is serving the family. In lieu of flowers memorials can be given in Mildred's name to assist family. Memories and condolences can be shared with the family at www.saetherfuneralhome.com

Let me state that I have nothing against bash itself. I know it's a very fine, full featured shell with many interesting improvements over other shells. Most, if not all, Linux distributions use it as the system's /bin/sh, which is also fine, but it's the fact that it leaks bash-isms when invoked as sh that is somewhat disturbing. First of all, it allows the creation of a multitude of /bin/sh scripts that are not compatible with the Bourne shell -- replace /bin/sh by ash in your system to see the extension of the damage. Now take your bash-contaminated /bin/sh scripts and try to run them in other, erm, Linux-like systems such as commercial SysV or even BSDs. You can try /bin/ksh, but it won't work in all cases, and you'll be forced to use bash. That's, IMHO, very Microsoftian in nature. It's embrace and extend.
What I advocate here is that bash scripts must use #!/bin/bash, not #!/bin/sh. Let Bourne shell scripts use #!/bin/sh, Korn shell scripts use #!/bin/ksh, C shell scripts use #!/bin/csh and so on. Let's stick on standards. It just makes sense!
Busybox patches
I busyboxed install-info, a patch is available. The dietlibc patch mostly works, except for strftime() calls. The tr applet must be fixed. (Busybox - dietlibc - ash... did you connect the pieces?)
Other developments
Trying to learn Python, to work in bm/dm with niemeyer. Read a bit about CSS. Fixed bugs in Sarien. Trying to work around libtool lossage to build an old rpm package in the current environment.

- Bases are the opposite of acids. They have a slippery feel.
- Think "bar of soap" and you'll know how bases feel, because soap is also basic.
- Why do bases make good cleaners? Chemical reactions explain it. Watch this video to learn how: http://www.nbclearn.com/portal/site/learn/chemistry-now/chemistry-of-household-cleaners
Show What You Know
With the links below, learn more about ammonia and bases. Then answer the following questions.
- http://science.howstuffworks.com/ammonia-info.htm
- http://dl.clackamas.cc.or.us/ch105-04/bronsted.htm
- What is ammonia? What are its chemical formula and properties?
- Explain why water alone doesn't work well to clean up greasy dirt.
- What are acids and bases according to the Brønsted-Lowry definition? What are protons?
- How does adding ammonia to water help it clean up grease?
- If you wash windows with soapy water, the soap leaves a streaky residue on the window after the water evaporates. Washing windows with ammonia and water leaves no streaks. Explain why.
- Besides cleaning, what are some other uses of ammonia?

Pink Floyd: Goodbye Blue Sky
Originally published in Guitar World, October 2009
Stressed out by power struggles and creative differences, Pink Floyd were near the breaking point when they created the greatest album of their career, The Wall. In this extraordinary oral history, the members tell how it all came crashing down.
The Wall is the concept album of concept albums. If the majority of Pink Floyd fans consider Dark Side of the Moon the best album to listen to while having sex or consuming drugs, then one can only speculate on the practical use The Wall serves for the millions who made it a No. 1 record for five weeks in Britain and 15 in the U.S. Bleak, claustrophobic and punctuated by moments of flesh-tingling beauty, The Wall is built upon the themes of paranoia, megalomania, betrayal, breakdown and collapse, any of which may have described the mood of its myriad fans. What is certain is that The Wall reflected the state of mind at that time of the people who made it: bassist Roger Waters, guitarist Dave Gilmour, drummer Nick Mason and the late keyboardist Rick Wright.
Rewind to July 1977: increasingly disillusioned by playing what he later described as "oppressive" stadiums, Roger Waters set his sights on writing a concept album that would address the separation that these venues created between bands and their audiences. Certainly, fame was one aspect of the problem: the more popular the band, the larger the venue and the greater distance between the performer and fan. And in 1977, Pink Floyd were among the biggest bands in the world. But Waters experienced the division personally when, while performing that year on tour for the Animals album, he spit in the face of a fan that attempted to climb onstage. His response shocked and dismayed him, not only for its callousness but also because it demonstrated to him how fame and egocentricity had affected his regard for others.
But from this episode, Waters would conceive his greatest creative achievement. In the aftermath of the incident, he developed the theme for The Wall and over the following year began to shape it into an album. In the course of that time, Waters made the acquaintance of the man who would play an important role in creating The Wall: producer Bob Ezrin. He had met the former Alice Cooper producer while in Toronto during the Animals tour. Ezrin says, "Eighteen months later I got a call from Roger asking me to come to his home and talk about the possibility of working together on a project called The Wall."
The story centers on Pink, a youngster whose father dies in World War II while Pink is still young (an episode that mirrors the death of Waters' father). Smothered by his overly protective mother and beaten down at school by abusive teachers, Pink responds by building a psychological wall to isolate himself from social contact. He eventually becomes a rock star, living a life fueled by drugs and violence. With his marriage destroyed by his infidelities, Pink finds himself alone, cut off from humanity. His personal crises lead to hallucinations, including the delusion that he is a fascist Hitler-like dictator whose concerts become hate rallies. As Pink's conscience begins to assert itself against the violence, it places him on trial for his actions, and his internal judge orders him to tear down the wall, freeing Pink from his seclusion and initiating his return to the outside world.
The ambitious story made for a demanding and grueling production. Given the already fractious nature of Pink Floyd, the sessions for The Wall were marred by arguments, creative battles and psychological walls of its own, and led to the dismissal of founding member Rick Wright. Out of the emotional wreckage came one of rock's greatest milestones, but the damage to Pink Floyd was irrevocable.
Thirty years after The Wall's release, the making of this monumental album and its subsequent tour are recalled in the following oral history. Although their recollections on the subject frequently disagree, the words of the band members—as well as those of Ezrin, engineer and co-producer James Guthrie and album designer Gerald Scarfe—deliver a provocative behind-the-scenes look at how Pink Floyd created their most ambitious record.

Today was the start of second season in Illinois. It had rained 1.5 inches last Thursday and the temperature had dropped from the high 70s last week to the mid 40s this morning.The barometric pressure was rising, the wind was less than 5 mph and there was no cloud cover. It was a beautiful day!!
I got up at 3:30 AM, had a big breakfast and went through my checklist. After a long walk through last years bean field, I started setting up about an hour before sunrise. I placed 5 hen decoys and 1 jake decoy at a known corridor for turkeys in this area and then concealed myself in a honeysuckle vine patch. I knew I was well concealed when a bird landed on my gun barrel and stayed there for about one minute.
Last Tuesday when I got my first long beard, the turkeys were grouped up at the area; approximately 50 turkeys in this group. As the crows started sounding off the long beards were gobbling from all directions and it was obvious the turkeys has split up. At about 200 yards to the north 4 hens and a gobbler were heading my way. Then at about 50 yards the hens headed east and Mr. Longbeard went with them. Eventually 2 of the hens came back to my decoys and passed within 10 feet of where I was sitting, but the gobbler was not with them.
I call a little and a gobbler to my west responded each time I called. He must have seen my decoys. Some hens were also coming toward my location. All of a sudden the gobbler was at the edge of my decoys and the rest is history. I shot him with my Benelli Super Vinci with Indian Creek Choke and Hevi 13 Blended shot at 33 yards.
This was my second long beard in less than a week and only my second Illinois gobbler. He weighed 21 pounds, had a 10 1/2 inch beard and 1 1/4 inch spurs. This was a great rush but at the same time I realized that I would have to wait until April 25 (4th season) to go after one of these beautiful birds again. God has surely blessed those of us who hunt with the beauty of the outdoors and nature. The wild turkey is truly a wonderful bird.

By Michael Aneiro
A Financial Times story this week says investor bets against the two biggest junk-bond exchange-traded funds have risen to their highest level in five years.
That's an interesting statement given that the two largest ETFs have barely been around for five years, with the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (HYG) and the SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond ETF (JNK) coming to market right around the peak of the previous junk-bond credit cycle, when investors were finally turning bearish on junk bonds.
Fast-forward five Fed-fueled years of rapid ETF growth and record junk-bond gains, and we find that short sales of the ETFs are, by percentage terms, back where they were before. Vivianne Rodrigues and Arash Massoudi report:
Short interest on junk bond ETFs run by BlackRock and State Street has grown rapidly in recent weeks and touched its highest levels since October 2007. The growing number of "short" positions show that investors are now buying protection against a reversal in high-yield debt, while shifting money into other assets such as stocks and loans….
On Monday, about 8 per cent of shares in BlackRock's iShares iBoxx High Yield Corporate Bond Fund were on loan to short sellers, while almost 9 per cent of all shares in State Street's SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond Fund were on loan, according to Markit and Bloomberg data.
Analysts said those levels of shorts also point to large bond investors' inability to unload sizeable positions in high-yield securities, which were accumulated during last year's rally.
"Shorting a high-yield ETF is sometimes the only way some institutional accounts can protect their long-only positions," said Adrian Miller, director of fixed income strategy at GMP Securities. "Worries over a potential sell off in high-yield is no longer just in the retail market. It has hit institutional investors."
For some further reading on HYG and JNK, Tom Lydon has a story at etftrends.com this week that compares the different holdings, expense ratios and yields offered by the two ETFs.
