... that he really didn't thirst for the power of being POTUS
It is unfortunate, as this is part of the reason he might have been a very good President ... more concerned with doing what was right for the country than gloat on power and make himself a fortune. We need only look at the number of pols who have become among the 1% through their "service" in the political realm.
And if his "handlers" really believed that any focus on his "minority faith" would have hurt his chances, then they bought into the liberal argument that the country really is "racist" WRT religion.

Haven't written in here for a while now.
- Degree - I got a 3rd. I am generally happy with this, I was afraid I'd do better. For my project, I think I got a 2:1, and I got a 2:2 for the recent exams, it was the 1st semester exams that pulled me down. But an honours degree is an honours degree, so I'm happy. :)
- Rendering of Indic Scripts - made quite a bit of progress here, I've started a Bengali renderer based on the Devanagari renderer. This has some new and interesting issues to deal with (in particular, characters that map to two glyphs, which occur on either side of another character). After this is working, I'll pull the common code into a library and make renderers for all the other Indic scripts (apart from Tibetan, which still looks very scary).

This fun, red-and-white holiday treat features layers of flavored gelatin topped with whipped cream and crushed peppermints.
To determine if the layer is ready, gently press your fingertip to the layer. If it's tacky and leaves an imprint, then it's ready for an additional layer.
You can use any vessel to layer your dessert. Wine glasses and champagne glasses make a very festive presentation as well.
If you'd like to unmold your dessert, simply spray containers lightly with cooking spray prior to layering.
Dessert can be made the day before and refrigerated overnight.

Please post your VOTE for up to 4 {four} of the questions provided in this thread, letting us know which ones you most want to see asked on September 24th. Keep in mind that your votes in round 86 do not count in this round, so if your question is still on the list you may want to vote for it again.
Also, feel free to post new questions. For reference, here are Hasbro's answers to previous SSG questions; and from other sites. The questions we asked last round can be found here.
Current questions (vote for up to 4):
- - On the latest TIE Interceptor's packaging, the box art on the front has a highly-detailed ship which is not actually representing the toy, the back of the box imagery does that. However, while the new cockpit pod is a great improvement, that art highlights the wings being the same existing designs we've had for the last 3 decades, and their size and lack of detail really shows compared to the new pod. Granted, you've just released a TIE Interceptor so it's not like we're going to see new wings next week. But hypothetically, how far in the future might fans have to wait to get a set of updated TIE Interceptor wings to match the quality of the new pod?
- - With the 2008 Medical Frigate Luke figure, the figure almost fits the bill for Echo Base recovery scene Luke, if not for the open mechanical arm, and the different likeness with scars and Hoth hairstyle. That scene also has another character whose figure is in dire need of updating: 2-1B, who hasn't seen a new figure design in over a decade. With a Recovery Luke figure, it'd just be a new head required (the body and undamaged forearm tooling already exists from the VOTC figure) so you could also include the mask he wore in that scene's less-infamous cut footage (we're not asking you to make kissing Luke & Leia, you'll have to decide if you're twisted enough to go there ;-) ). So, any chances of knocking the Echo Base Recovery scene out of the park by making new 2-1B and Luke recovery figures?
- - The initial Force Unleashed figures were released well before the actual game, and many of the cooler figures sold quickly and were hard to find by the time the game was released. Of the major characters, the Jumptrooper, Evo Trooper, Vader, and Galen Marek have seen a few re-releases, while Juno Eclipse (sadly) still languishes on store shelves in many areas. One figure that was never re-released though is Rahm Kota, who was one of the first figures to vanish upon the initial release, and has since appeared in other Star Wars media, including a different video game. Given that he is likely to appear in a major role in The Force Unleashed II later this year and the 2 exclusive TFU 5-packs were released in May, are there any chances Kota might be re-released as a Greatest Hits figure, or perhaps even updated with a new, more actor-accurate and 'blinded' head sculpt, as well as a deactivated saber hilt for his shoulder scabbard?
- - The prequels have introduced a number of new alien species to the Star Wars universe, and Hasbro has been good about making figures of most of them. Aside from pod race pilots which have already been discussed with Hasbro, there are several other visually interesting alien species that Hasbro hasn't yet added to the lineup including Roonan, Sarrish, Zeuolin, Holwuff, Tarnab and Sy Myrthian. While these are admittedly background stuff and mostly represented as senators in the films, as action figures they would add another dimension of unique aliens to the line. Can you tell us if any of these species will find their way into the lineup in the foreseeable future?
- Over the years, pretty much all of the core prequel heros and villains have gotten their own vehicles of some type to zoom around in and do battle, even some of the secondary Jedi characters. But a big exception is Asajj Ventress, who in the micro-series used the nifty and distinctive Ginivex-class Fanblade Starfighter, it's also been in some comics and books so that should break it out of Lucasfilm's "no micro-series items" edict. Starfighter-pricepoint vehicles are a big portion of Hasbro's Star Wars gameplan, and while the flow of new vehicles in it has been outstanding lately, there is definitely a mismatch of good-guy Republic starfighters to bad-guy CIS starfighters, with the CIS certainly not ruling the skies for kids and collectors. The vehicle is a unique design, built on a gimmick concept that also makes it fairly simple, mostly just a simple ball cockpit, very small engines, and the gimmick wing, so it might not be too difficult to deliver in the pricepoint. Bottom line, it's a new Starfighter vehicle, it has name character recognizability, it's a good co-sell to the large good guy library of vehicles, and it already is basically in the existing scale. Obviously, current entertainment would help a lot, and a recent trailer of Clone Wars season 3 appears to show the Fanblade starfighter for a moment, but we don't know for sure what the future holds in that regard. So, what are the chances of seeing Asajj Ventress' Fanblade Starfighter get added to the line?
- - Force FX has entered a new phase with the removable blade series, and so far we've seen the first couple waves. Thanks to Clone Wars, female characters are back on the rise in Star Wars and bringing in more female collectors - Ahsoka especially has been selling very well. What does the future of Force FX look like? What are the chances of Ahsoka's lightsaber being added to the Force FX line, better opening that market up to female consumers and getting Clone Wars main character recognizability?
- - Despite several denied fan requests for an update of her "classic" look in the basic line, as well as a flat out "not happening" for the somewhat necessary inclusion in the Galactic Heroes line (considering we have the other two in the classic trio) some fans are getting the idea that Hasbro has something against Sy Snootles. Does she rank up there with Ben Quadinaros, Jaxxon, and Jocasta Nu as being too far out there, or are those fans just reading too much into your lack of movement on this? Has Lucasfilm had any role in your decision not to pursue anything representing the classic puppet, or is there hope that we can convince Hasbro to change their stance? Now that the Vintage line is back this would be a perfect opportunity to get this classic alien into the hands of collectors, even if not as a basic figure but an exclusive. Consider that the existing Sy Snootles figure has some of the most useless articulation ever, its pose is incredibly awkward, and its paint is the only one of the band to be this inaccurate. We're not even asking for Max Rebo's organ to be corrected with the horn on top, just a better Sy Snootles. Shouldn't the frontman of the band get the best figure instead of the worst?
- Back in June's Q&A, we asked about whether this year's Saga Legends Battle Droids 2-pack that uses the superior, most recent tooling would have corrected paint (giant eyes and the wrong location of the big yellow chest circle on the commander) and the neck peg assembled correctly. On the paint, you said it'd be corrected, and on the neck you said it'd get looked into. Now that the set is out, the battle droids still have paint issues - now both figures have huge eyes, and the commander's yellow circle is still too low - and the neck is still backwards. With these new-mold Battle Droids making a very welcome return to stores, fans are wondering, will these issues will get addressed in this run? If not, will there be a later run they can look forward to with the corrected eyes, chest dot, and neck assembly?
- - In the upcoming Battle Over Endor multipacks, you've included a figure of Lt. Yong, the Y-wing pilot from ROTJ that flies (and dies) under the handle Gray 3, but the torso used on the figure is the existing B-wing pilot design rather than a Y-wing pilot torso. On the ROTJ Y-wing pilot costume, the collar is different and the chest box and apron are more like the POTF2 Lt. Yong figure (at the time he was misidentified as Arvel Crynyd, but it was Yong's helmet, face, and Y-wing pilot torso and apron just in the wrong color - red instead of gray). Is this new Lt. Yong using the B-wing pilot torso a mistake, or just a cost-saving measure? In either case, if there are future ROTJ Y-wing pilot figures down the line, will we get a new movie-accurate torso for them with the unique costume chest box and apron, and closed collar?
- - Back in October of '07, we asked you about upgrading the VOTC Lando down the road with ball-hinge elbows and a removable cape that properly drapes over his shoulders (the existing design is neither removable nor does it fit him properly the way it does in the film). Your response was "Great suggestion - we will look at that for a possible future Lando upgrade." In the following 3 years though, no new Lando Cloud City figure was produced so none of these upgrades were used. Lando is a fairly iconic and beloved Star Wars character, the scenes he wears this costume are some his most notable scenes and his only action scenes in ESB, so he needs more flexibility in how he can be displayed. So, what are the chances that we could get a new Lando Cloud City figure with those upgrades in the foreseeable future?
- - You have this nice new Qui-Gon Jinn figure that came out in the Jedi Evolution set, and has been re-released in the nifty Eopie mail-away set, yet both times the figure has been marred by including the blobby 1999 lightsaber accessory. Luke Jedi keeps coming out with either repaints of the ROTS Obi-Wan's lightsabers (which has different details), or worse, the blobby Obi-Wan POTJ saber from 2000. Both the '99 Qui-Gon and '00 Obi-Wan as Luke Jedi sabers also have the old smooth blade design without the flare on top of their soft hilt sculpting, and both Qui-Gon and Luke Jedi actually had better saber accessories designed during the Saga line, yet we never get them. And what about one of the most iconic lightsabers in recent SW memory, Darth Maul? There is no modern-quality version at all, the closest is the '02 Saga metal hilt with removable blades, but the blades break easily, so we haven't seen it in a while, and it's a bit long. We don't have a deactivated one to hang on a belt, don't have a 1-blade-activated version, don't have a "cut in half" version, Maul is pretty lacking for his weapon. Why are we getting old junky saber accessories with the modern versions of these guys? Why aren't we seeing better, more accurate lightsaber accessories for some of these fairly major, recognizable Jedi characters? And will these issues be addressed soon?
- - The recent update to Hoth Leia has taken off, it seems to be moving off TVC pegs, and fans appreciate how good a figure it is with sculpting and articulation working together so well for such a classic Leia outfit. With that in mind, ESB offers 2 more Leia outfits that need similar treatment, the Bespin Gown outfit and the Bespin Escape outfit. The last Bespin Escape Leia, which is one of the character's signature action sequences in the saga, was back in the POTJ line in 2001, and was limited in articulation so to be stuck in an action pose. The last Bespin Gown Leia had very little articulation and even less usable, leaving it a statue. What are the chances that we could get modern-quality updates to these 2 iconic ESB Leia outfits?
- - Although we've gotten in recent years a better Luke from ANH, and even a second Han Solo Death Star Escape, we've still not really gotten an acceptable Luke Death Star Escape figure. The last one was the 25th Anniversary set which was essentially a statue. Luke and Leia's "swing to freedom" (as Hasbro describes it) is one of the earliest, most iconic Star Wars images, and yet not only do we not have a truly acceptable Leia figure for this, but we don't have a modern-quality Luke for it, and he's the hero of the scene! Luke would need a stormtrooper utility belt and grappling hook & line (and if these just happened to be swappable with a regular Luke ANH belt to complete the Death Star scenes in this costume, so much the better), and articulation to deliver the action, and a quality likeness would mean a lot too. Are there any chances that we get a Death Star Escape Luke like this? And while we're at it, how about a Leia as well?
- - In several instances now, when asked about the new Slave I getting an ESB release, the response is that it largely depends on how the current Clone Wars version does at retail. If the decision to release it this way is based off sales, why release this as a $100 set with a few re-released figures, and a vehicle repaint that wasn't really hotly requested? If this CW set does sell, does that suggest an ESB release would get a similar Ultimate Battle Pack treatment with the release of some new figures like Bespin Guards and an existing vehicle like the Cloud Car? If that's not likely in store for an ESB Slave I, why predicate that release on this one when it has a different pricepoint, market, and really a different business model altogether? Why release the CW one in this ultimate battle pack format, was this vehicle originally planned for the now-defunct $60 Deluxe Vehicle line and repurposed, was this always the plan for it, or if not, how did this come about this way?
Vote now, and suggest new questions too. Thanks for participating!

TUPELO – Students from at least 12 Northeast Mississippi high schools will be able to earn college credit next year without leaving campus.
Itawamba Community College has reached agreements with six school districts to offer the courses, which count for both high school and higher education requirements, beginning in the fall. School boards in the Tupelo and Lee County school districts approved the terms on Tuesday.
ICC also has made deals with the Monroe County, Pontotoc City and Houston school districts and is finalizing one with Itawamba County, said Sara Johnson, ICC's vice president of instructional services. They also could expand to other districts, she said.
"It has just been something that has grown," she said.
The courses will cost students $100 after a $250 scholarship from ICC is applied. Some school districts will cover the cost of textbooks, while those in others must pay for them.
To be eligible for these dual enrollment/dual credit classes, students must have completed 12 of the core high school units with a 2.5 grade-point average and an ACT composite score of 16.
Some schools will only offer them to seniors, but others are also allowing juniors, Johnson said.
Courses offered will vary by district. Examples could include college algebra, English composition, Spanish and anatomy and physiology, among others.
Students can take them on their high school campus, taught by either an ICC instructor, a high school teacher who meets ICC's criteria or via an online-learning platform. The idea is that students can earn college credit before they graduate high school and will be exposed to college-level courses.
Credits can be transferred to other institutions, and participation will not make students ineligible to earn college scholarships.
The Lee County School District will use online learning to allow students at each of its three high schools – Saltillo, Shannon and Mooreville – to enroll in the same class. Monroe County will also use eLearning, Johnson said.
Lee County will offer Spanish and English composition next year and hopes to include college algebra soon. Tupelo plans to offer college algebra, anatomy and physiology, biology and English composition, although that could fluctuate depending on the number of students who sign up for those or other classes.
"It will help the students be ahead going into college," said Lee County Superintendent Jimmy Weeks.

Found out the reason why I must store plain text passwords. It's because of the sasl auxprop framework. That only works with plain text passwords, not encrypted ones. Subversion and sasl use the md5-digest method to communicate with the client, so that's covered. But having plain text passwords in the database, really, we can't get away with that these days.
Supposedly with saslauthd and the pam framework it might be possible to use encrypted passwords. So testing that now.

Bone density measurement is a safe, non-invasive, and painless test which can play an important role in the early diagnosis of osteoporosis. Bone densitometry accurately measures the density of the spine, hip, and other bones that are most frequent fracture sites associated with osteoporosis. Evaluating bone density using conventional X-ray techniques won't reveal a problem until a person has lost at least 30% of his or her bone mass. Now, in a matter of minutes, physicians can get an accurate picture of a person's bone density early enough in the disease to make a real difference in treatment and outcome.

TUPELO – Pied Piper Playhouse is having fun with a play that's more than 400 years old.
A cast of middle and high school students is tackling Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" this weekend.
Though the story has been shortened and updated, it's still full of iambic pentameter and Shakespeare's wit and famous lines.
"It's about a rich man who has two daughters – one is mean as a yard dog and the other one is sweet. He won't let the sweet one get married until the mean one gets married," said director Jimmy Grisham.
The cast worked all through the holiday break with Grisham's son, Jamey, a professional actor now based in New York. Jamey gave the students acting tips and suggested the cast all wear similar outfits: jeans, gray shirts and boots.
"We wanted them to concentrate on the material, not the costumes," Grisham said.
Auburn McCormick, 17, a junior at Saltillo High School, has the pleasure of being the mean-spirited Kate.
"She's awful," she said. "She really is a shrew. I've never had a part like her before. But I'm having fun."
Kate's suitor is Petruchio, played by 16-year-old Tupelo High School junior Noah Cox. Petruchio gets paid to woo Kate by her father, but the young couple makes connections through their differences.
"He's all about the money," Cox said. "He'll do anything to make money, including making himself look stupid to get what he wants."
Cox is no stranger to Shakespeare; he played the title role in Pied Piper's production of "Hamlet" last year.
"It's very fun to perform Shakespeare. It can be very challenging, but it's more fun. They're timeless," he said. "'Hamlet' was very psychological and very dark and very angry, but this one is light-hearted and silly. It's an all-around good change of pace."
It's a work of Shakespeare, but Grisham said it's suitable for all ages.
"It's written for teenagers," he said. "It's a really good show."

Shares of Health Management Associates (HMA) were up more than 10% in late afternoon trading, on the heels of Glenview Capital Management's announcement that it wants the hospital operator to change its poison pill provisions.
Glenview, which currently owns 14.5% of the company's shares outstanding, submitted a regulatory filing late Tuesday, asking HMA to allow investors to hold up to a 25% stake without triggering takeover provisions.
Deutsche Bank's Darren Lehrich upgraded both HMA and Community Health Systems (CYH) from Hold to Buy today, "given Glenview's cross-ownership of CYH and CYH's appetite for deals."
Lehrich writes that he sees a strategic takeover of HMA as the best way to unlock shareholder value, and thinks CYH might be the best candidate for the job, as the company's management has already stated its willingness to do larger scale M&A. He notes "CYH's opportunistic track record in the space (eg. THC take-over attempt in 2011); (2) CYH's stated strategy of having a diversified geographic portfolio (something HMA accomplishes, based on our analysis); and (3) significant accretion potential given CYH's well-established corporate infrastructure, which positions it best among any non-urban peers to achieve financial synergies. Our analysis suggests a strategic buyer like CYH could pay $18-$20 (30-40% premium) for HMA and achieve 17-21% accretion on 2014 estimates w/synergies."
Lehrich now has a $59 price target on CYH, 20% above current levels, and an $18 price target on HMA, representing 29% upside.
Last week, Credit Suisse upped its target prices for both CYH and HMA.
Community Health was recently trading up 1.4% before the close.

Note: This procedure assumes replacement of both eyelet cables. It is recommended that both eyelet cables be replaced at the same time.1. Using a Philips' head screwdriver, remove the four screws holding the lower front panel (below dishwasher door).2. Remove the faulty eyelet cable(s) hooked into the springs at one end and the door hinges at the other.3. Take the new eyelet cables and hook them onto the door hinge on either side. Ensure a secure fit.4. Guide the eyelet cable around the spinwheel on one side and insert the hooks of the springs into the eyelets.5. Pull on the springs and insert their hooks into the eyelets of the other cable, ensuring a secure fit.6. Test the door by opening and closing it a few times to ensure the spring has tension.7. Replace the lower front panel cover removed in step 1 with its screws.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
I removed a front access panel below the door and found a broken steel cable going to the spring assembly which helps lift the door. I ordered a replacement from PartSelect which arrived quickly. To fix the problem, all I had to do was attach one end of the cable to the springs, route the cable across a nylon wheel, and slip the eyelet end of the cable onto a mounting post. Then reattach the access panel and I was done. Problem fixed.
I first removed four screws holding the two cover panels attached to the dishwasher front at the bottom. Next I removed the broken cable and put everything back together that had sprung apart when the cable broke. Then I inserted the two door springs ends into the cable slots. Next I pulled on the springs to create slack and attached the cable / eyelet assembly to the protruding tab on the dishwasher frame. After attaching both sides the door works perfectly.
Took off the lower faceplates. Removed the old eyelet assemblies (one broken, one not) and replaced both with new ones. Very easy to repair.
First I removed the four screws holding on two metal panels to gain access to the springs. Then I unhooked the broken assembly from the springs. Then I hooked the new assembly to the hinge. Finally, I reconnected the assembly to the springs. (I didn't have to unhook the assembly from the hinge because it had already broken off.)This part must be one of those that commonly goes because I had replaced the other side about a year ago. The most difficult part a year ago was diagnosing the problem and figuring out how the pieces fit together. This now it was a quick repair because I knew exactly how to fix it. (And thanks to PartSelect for delivering the part in 48 hours even though I didn't pay for quick delivery.)
I have to be honest. At first I called a repair person, but it was Sunday so he couldn't come till the following week. Then my incredibly intelligent, industrious, and internet-savvy wife found your website. We saw that others had had the same problem. The part we needed was right there.... voila! 2 days later I had the part in hand. Not being the most handy of handymen, I followed the directions that others who had the same problem had posted. Yep, it was that simple -- And a heck of a lot cheaper than a repair person. Your website was very valuable, and I definitely will refer it to others looking for a part for a home repair job.
I made a substitute cable that worked ok, but was a bit loose. When the new cable part came in I simply unhooked the substitute and hooked the new part in its place. The two spring ends slip into a hole on the cable connector. The cable loops under a plastic pulley and the far end piece fits over a small retainer. Actually, unbolting the bottom case parts and bolting them back on took more time than replacing the broken cable. The door works fine now.
Removed access panel (2 screws), Replaced broken cable/Eyelet assembly. Replaced access panel. Job took 5 minutes, including clean-up & stowing tools.
First, remove the two access panels to the bottom of the dishwasher, each had two screws. Then, disconnect each old door cable and eyelet assembly, and the two springs. Now, connect the two new cable assemblies, and reconnect the two springs, one at a time, between the eyelets of the cable assemblies. Finally, replace the access panels
Remove the bottom two panels below the dishwasher door. There are two phillips screws and two nut screws.Replace the broken cable by first hooking the cable to the side of the dishwasher. The other end of the cable assembly with two holes hooks up to the two large springs which keeps the door in balance. Hook one spring at a time to the cable assembly.Reassemble the two bottom panels with the four screws.YOU ARE DONE - Congratulations, you just saved $125 which is what the plumber quoted me.
The cable attachment comes with the two hole loop assembly that the springs hook into. With the lower panel off and the door closed, the other end of the cable assembly hooks onto the fitting on the side of the door. No tools required except the phillips head screw driver to take off the lower panel.
1 - unscrew that holded the machine in place, these screws were on the top of machine.2 - pull out machine about 5 inches.3 - unscrew the cover at the bottom cover. there were 4 screws, 2 on the left and 2 on the right.4 - connect 2 cables in series with 2 springs.5 - hook one end of 1st cable to the left pin and the other end of 2nd cable to the right pin.6 - slide both cables lay on both wheels.7 - Tight all 4 screws back to their place and push machine in place.8 - tight the last 2 screw which hold machine in place.
There are 4 phillips screws on two covers at the bottom front of the dishwasher, when they are removed, the cables and springs are accessible.The springs and cables are replaced by hand only. Then the covers are replaced with the 4 screws.DONE.
Took lower access panel off. Replaced broken cable and attached to double spring. When it broke my wife wanted a new dishwasher? It cost $13.80 to fix and door works fine.
This was surprisingly easy. I removed the 4 sheet metal screws that held on the lower colored panel on the front of the dishwasher. I hooked one of the cables to the little post on the bottom right edge of the door, and then hooked the other cable on the post at the bottom left. I then hooked the two door springs to one of the cables, stretched out the springs a half inch or so, and hooked them to the other cable, making sure the cables were seated on the wide rollers. I then opened the dishwasher door a few times to make sure all was well (it was) and replaced the 4 screws + lower panel. Voila!Oh, and I cleaned around the edges of the lower panel while it was out. They are hard to get to when the panel is installed, and they were quite filthy, I'm embarrassed to say.

I don't have an April Fools blog post for you this year, but instead thought I share with you two of the funniest weather-related stories of the year. Firstly, it turns out that you don't need to be a human to enjoy a little snowboarding. The snowy conditions in Russia this winter gave the opportunity for an intrepid crow to take up the sport in this remarkable Youtube video. I found the video over at Andy Revkin's DotEarth blog at the New York Times. The bird is a hooded crow, and has evidently been doing quite a bit of snowboarding, judging by the multiple tracks on the rooftop. Too bad us humans can't use a flap-assist from our wings while snowboarding, it might cut down on injuries!

The most insane letter ever written by a child to a TV weatherman
I've done a lot of talks about the weather to schools, and have gotten hundreds of thank-you letters from the kids afterwards. But I've never gotten a letter quite like the one KVUE morning and midday meteorologist Albert Ramon in Austin, Texas recently received after talking at a local school. A sampling:
"Some day when I become supreme Ultra-Lord of the universe I will not make you a slave, you will live in my 200 story castle where unicorn servants will feed you doughnuts off their horns."
And this: "Thank you again for teaching us about meteoroligy, you're more awesome than a monkey wearing a tuxedo made out of bacon riding a cyborg unicorn with a lightsaber for the horn on the tip of a space shuttle closing in on Mars while ingulfed in flames."
Check out the letter here.
Finally, realclimate.org has a funny April Fool's blog post today called 'Wrong sign paradox' finally resolved?
All-time March warmth records in Wyoming, Nebraska
Most of Wyoming and much of Nebraska set or tied their record for all-time warmest March temperatures yesterday, no fooling. A strong ridge of high pressure that generated a strong flow of warm air from the southwest was responsible. Some of the records included:
Omaha, NE: 91°F
Lincoln, NE: 91°F
Casper, WY: 77°F
Lander, WY: 76°F
Rock Spring, WY: 72°F
Worland, WY: 81°F
Laramie, WY: 71°F
Rawlins, WY: 73°F
Chadron, WY: 83°F
Sidney, WY: 83°F

...but thought I'd leave behind something to get you searching your dictionary. It's always enlightening to see a military person with this kind of intelligence and the onions to express it.
Many of us witnessed the arrogance of Barbara Boxer as she admonished a brigadier general because he addressed her as "ma'am" and not "Senator" before a Senate hearing. This letter is from a National Guard aviator and Captain for Alaska Airlines. I wonder what he would have said if he were really angry.Babs:You were so right on when you scolded the general on TV for using the term, "ma'am," instead of "Senator". After all, in the military, "ma'am" is a term of respect when addressing a female of superior rank or position. The general was totally wrong. You are not a person of superior rank or position. You are a member of one of the world's most corrupt organizations, the U.S. Senate, equalled only by the U.S. House of Representatives.Congress is a cesspool of liars, thieves, inside traders, traitors, drunks (one who killed a staffer, yet is still revered), criminals, and other low level swine who, as individuals (not all, but many), will do anything to enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all at the expense of the People of the United States and its Constitution, in order to be continually re-elected. Many democrats even want American troops killed by releasing photographs. How many of you could honestly say, "We pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor"? None? One? Two?Your reaction to the general shows several things. First is your abysmal ignorance of all things military. Your treatment of the general shows you to be an elitist of the worst kind. When the general entered the military (as most of us who served) he wrote the government a blank check, offering his life to protect your derriere, now safely and comfortably ensconced in a 20 thousand dollar leather chair, paid for by the general's taxes. You repaid him for this by humiliating him in front of millions.Second is your puerile character, lack of sophistication, and arrogance which borders on the hubristic. This display of brattish behavior shows you to be a virago, termagant, harridan, nag, scold or shrew, unfit for your position, regardless of the support of the unwashed, uneducated masses who have made California into the laughing stock of the nation.What I am writing, Senator, are the same thoughts countless millions of Americans have toward Congress, but who lack the energy, ability or time to convey them. Under the democrats, some don't even have the 44 cents to buy the stamp. Regardless of their thoughts, most realize that politicians are pretty much the same, and will vote for the one who will bring home the most bacon, even if they do consider how corrupt that person is. Lord Acton (1834 - 1902) so aptly charged, "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Unbeknownst to you and your colleagues, "Mr. Power" has had his way with all of you, and we are all the worse for it.Finally Senator, I, too, have a title. It is "Right Wing Extremist Potential Terrorist Threat." It is not of my choosing, but was given to me by your Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. And you were offended by "ma'am"?Have a fine day. Cheers!Jim Hill16808 - 103rd Avenue Court EastSouth Hill, WA 98374Please circulate this to remind every voter that the "cesspools" MUST be pumped out when we go to the polls in November, 2010. Honoring and respecting the voters is a thing of the past for many of those in our congress and senate.We need to vote their arrogant, self serving asses out of office if America is to get on the long road back from the devastation that these self serving cowards have brought upon us!Now for another spot of Tea .

Mourad Lahlou remembers pressing his nose up against the glass of Michael Mina's Aqua some 20 years ago, fascinated by what looked to be the most exciting restaurant in the city. When Lahlou, who had moved from his native Morocco to San Francisco to earn a master's degree in economics, eventually saved up enough money to dine at Aqua, the experience proved to be a turning point in his life.
He gave up a career in finance and, without any restaurant experience, began to develop a modern version of the cuisine he grew up with. In 2001 he opened Aziza, a restaurant named for his mother; it serves Lahlou's highly personal version of Moroccan food in a room free of belly dancers and the usual Moroccan-restaurant kitsch. Lahlou's cooking came into its own after a few years, drawing rave reviews from local media and earning him a spot on the Food Network's Iron Chef America (where he was a winner), a book contract for Mourad: New Moroccan (released last year to more raves), and, in 2010, a Michelin star.
Mina remained a major influence for Lahlou long after that fateful meal at Aqua. Lahlou, now 44, dined at Mina's Bay Area restaurants and closely followed the chef and restaurateur's career. He paid particular attention to Mina's flagship eatery, Michael Mina, which opened in the former Aqua space in 2010. "I would go to Michael Mina and take my cooks, and we would dissect every little thing that they do there," says Lahlou, who had still not met Mina. "His food is not the kind of food you just eat. You have to close your eyes and figure out what's going on in your mouth and in your mind. It's very complex."
Mina—who was born in Egypt and who trained at the Culinary Institute of America in New York (with Charlie Palmer, another chef on the Robb Report Culinary Masters Competition panel)—has been a leading figure on the food scene since 1991, when he began creating innovative seafood dishes at Aqua. Since then, in addition to opening 21 restaurants in partnership with tennis star Andre Agassi, he has written Michael Mina: The Cookbook and garnered a long list of accolades, including a Michelin star for Michael Mina Bellagio in Las Vegas.
For his menus, Mina is devoted, he says, to "balance": the idea that each dish should harmonize acidity, sweetness, spice, and fat, and offer complex layers of flavor and texture. In the dining room, he is equally devoted to creating a certain frisson—no "whisper joints" for him, where people are too nervous to talk and enjoy themselves.
Mina and Lahlou finally met about a year ago, when Mina dined at Aziza for the first time. The master was thrilled and inspired by his accidental apprentice. With superlative praise, Mina has nominated Lahlou as the best up-and-coming chef.
MICHAEL MINA: I had read about Aziza, and it sounded interesting. I had never eaten in a restaurant doing Moroccan food at the level that you do. So I went, and three courses into the meal I was sitting there and my jaw had dropped. I'm the first person to tell you I really enjoy a great product—really natural and all of that—but not when I go out to eat. When I go out to eat I want to be wowed. And it had been years since I was wowed with a meal like that.
MOURAD LAHLOU: It's really humbling to hear that; you have no idea. When I first came from Morocco to San Francisco, there was this place that was buzzing all the time, and it was so grand and so fun inside, and I would watch from the sidewalk and
peek in through the window and see all the people having dinner there. The restaurant was Aqua—and I remember so, so vividly saving money so I could eat there. When I finally went, it was the first time I was exposed to food of that level in terms of concept, flavor, how clean it was, how delicious. That was 20 years ago. I had no idea I was going to become a cook one day. I was just blown away. Over all these years, I have been so much aware of what you are doing and how much you have changed the way Americans eat. I followed your success, when you opened in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. When one of those restaurants was reviewed, the picture with that review was a white tagine. Do you remember that, Michael?
MM: Yes, yes.
ML: It was a tagine, a shellfish stew with cod. When I saw that tagine, it represented everything that I wanted to do. It captured the essence of the tradition by using the vessel and the method of cooking, but it also looked so elegant. You have influenced me in so many ways for a long, long time.
MM: That was Seablue in Las Vegas, 12 years ago.
ML: That is how far back I remember that picture! And to this day I remember what I ate at Aqua 20 years ago. There was an elegant sardine appetizer, and this beautiful
shrimp; it was big, and it was wrapped in shredded phyllo. The whole thing was so crunchy and had so many textures and flavors. I even did a recipe for shrimp with shredded phyllo. To this day, it is one of my favorite dishes.
MM: To make an impression on somebody in a 12-course tasting menu—to me, that is the easiest thing to do. But give me something that's not four bites. Give me something that keeps me interested for 30 bites, and I don't want to put my fork down—now you're talking about a dish that is substantial and has depth. There were numerous dishes that I had that night at your restaurant like that. I literally wrote down everything about them. One of them was a duck breast. It comes out and it's absolutely
gorgeous. The duck was cooked perfectly. The skin was rendered perfectly and still had enough of a layer of fat to keep the caramelized flavor. You did a play on foie gras. You started with a caramelized piece of foie gras and then did one of the most interesting things I've seen done with foie gras in a long time: You had crusted it with sesame seeds and sunflower seeds and all these spices that just were the perfect balance of spice and fat. The dish had this amazing huckleberry sauce on it, which gave it the acid to cut through all this stuff. So now you have the spices, the really great acidity, plus caramelized parsnips to add a little sweetness, and a really nice bitter green that was just wilted. I probably use about as much
foie gras as anyone in the country, and for 22 years, every three months, I'm coming up with a different foie gras idea, and this was probably the best foie gras dish I've ever had. Well, I didn't copy all of it, but the foie gras dish I have on my menu right now is crusted in nuts in the same style.
ML: Oh man, I am in heaven right now. Thank you, man.
MM: It is a spectacular dish, and it was one right after another that night. I think people are asking for more right now. I think that the real simple, farmers'-market philosophy is great. There's a place for it, and there's a clientele for it. It just isn't particularly what I
enjoy. I enjoy layering textures on the plate and really pushing up the flavor, utilizing and balancing the ingredients. And I really like seeing them used how you use them, where there's a real thoughtprocess behind the complexity of the dish. What you are doing is really the most interesting food in this country right now.

According to a recent rankings of ten desktop videoconferencing technology vendors, Vidyo is a strong overall performer with "the best overall video quality and performance." Forrester Research, Inc., who provided the rankings, stated that Vidyo's video quality remained the best even with a large number of participants. Forrester also gave Vidyo the top spot for its technology partners.
Why Vidyo is better and where they'll be leading tomorrow
Ofer Shapiro, the CEO and co-founder of Vidyo, stated that the company was honored by the recognition and that the company strives to continue to develop the best video solutions for its customers and partners. Vidyo credits its top video quality to its scalable video coding (SVC) architecture. In addition to other projects with its technology partners, Vidyo continues to work with Google to enhance video in the WebRTC. The WebRTC is an open-source project that will allow the web to operate with real time communication.
Poor quality and performance will leave users skeptical about using the technology
One of the challenges with introducing desktop video conferencing to an organization is encouraging active use amongst your employees. The last thing you need to worry about is poor performance or quality during an online meeting. In most cases, one or two bad experiences will frustrate staff and lead them back to traditional communication over the phone. Unfortunately, they now miss out on the resounding impact that visual communication, such as, desktop video conferencing can have on your internal and external relationships.
One of the key components to the Vidyo technology that makes it so simple and effective is it's built-in SVC technology. The SVC technology has been standard with Vidyo since it's start and has been continually developed and refined. Many other traditional vendors in the telepresence market have made the switch to use SVC recently, however, still require extensive development to remotely match what Vidyo is doing today.

CROSS-BREEDING has diluted the canine gene pool so much that it is now difficult to trace the genetic roots of the current generation of dogs, scientists from Durham and Aberdeen Universities have concluded.
Scientists compared the make-up of modern dogs with archaeological records of dog remains.The scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA (PNAS) has published the findings.
Dr Greger Larson, an evolutionary biologist in Durham University's Department of Archaeology, told BBC News: "The study demonstrated that there is still a lot we do not know about the early history of dog domestication including where, when, and how many times it took place.
He added: "We really love our dogs and they have accompanied us across every continent. Ironically, the ubiquity of dogs, combined with their deep history, has obscured their origins and made it difficult for us to know how dogs became the first domestic animal.
"All dogs have undergone significant amounts of cross-breeding to the point that we have not yet been able to trace all the way back to their very first ancestors."
The report concludes that extensive cross-breeding through the thousands of years since evidence of the first dogs to populate the earth were found in the Egyptian tombs or Roman mosaics mean that no modern dog breeds can be accurately classified as ancient.

By Emily Wagster Pettus/The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant said education dominates his 2013 legislative agenda, from merit pay for teachers to charter schools that will receive public funding but be free of some state regulations.
"Ninety percent of our goal this session is to not only talk about education but get something transformational passed," the Republican said in an interview with The Associated Press.
The three-month session begins at noon Jan. 8.
Bryant, who's starting his second year as governor, proposes limited funding — $3 million in a $5.5 billion budget — to pay for early childhood education programs in parts of the state. He said Mississippi can't afford a statewide pre-kindergarten program, but he wants to see stronger academic offerings for children in day care centers and Head Start programs.
"We just don't need to set 'em in front of a television and feed 'em Froot Loops," Bryant said. "We need to begin to teach them."
He also proposes a broad-scale program of public school choice that would allow students in the lower-ranked schools — those graded D or F — to cross district lines to attend schools with better academic performance if space is available. Public funding would follow the student.
"We have 152 walls that we build around these school districts, and we won't let students in or out," Bryant said, speaking of school districts. "I call them Berlin Walls because they won't let you out of there."
The school choice program could face opposition from successful districts reluctant to change what they're doing.
"If I have the money, I can go buy a house in a nice district, my children go to a nice school," Bryant said. "So what we're saying to a poor family is, 'Your child is in that failing school district, they can't get out and we're never going to let you.'"
Here are other excerpts from the AP interview with the governor:
AP: You're pushing for charter schools, but critics say the approach is too narrow. Some black lawmakers are skeptical about the motivation behind the push. How do you respond to the concerns?
Bryant: "As we were sitting in this office with Gov. Bush (former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida) and talking with members of the Black Caucus, and I had never realized that some members in the African-American community, members of the Legislature, had a constituency — which I'm very respectful of — that believes that somehow we're trying to turn these into private schools, that somehow there's this undercurrent of wanting to maybe put white students into public schools and sort of make them private schools. And I was so surprised by that. I had just never thought of that being an issue. Because every charter school I've ever been into is probably 99 percent African-American students. So, the idea that we'd somehow want to use this to make private schools using public dollars was just so foreign to me. … I think one of the issues that we have is they look at us as conservative Republicans as, maybe members that are resistant of charter schools, and they think, 'Phil Bryant can't really care about some African-American child's education in inner-city Jackson or in the Delta, so there must be some alternative motive.' And the fact is, we do care. We care because the economic workforce of the future can't be sustained with half of our third-graders being unable to read at a third-grade level."
AP: People also wonder: Who's going to make money off charter schools?
Bryant: "If there is money to be made in charter schools, I haven't figured out how that happens."
AP: Talk about your third-grade reading initiative.
Bryant: "My idea is, let's stop, let's hold those third-graders that cannot read and not promote them to the fourth grade. But you've got to intervene. You've got to have dramatic, transformational intervention. We've asked for $15 million to bring in reading teachers to help work with those classes, those teachers, that perhaps are not using the most successful techniques."
AP: Immigration enforcement was one of your top issues in 2012, but a bill died in the Senate. Will you renew your push in 2013?
Bryant: "We're going to certainly work with the House leadership. … The people who come through the current system that are legal immigrants into America and into Mississippi, we welcome. That's part of the American fabric. And we need to clearly understand that it is those that are crossing our borders illegally and violating our laws that we should have the authority, simply have the authority, to apprehend and determine their citizenship."
AP: During a House committee hearing a few months ago, Hispanics said they were concerned that they or their loved ones could be stopped by officers simply because of the way they look, even if a law were to specify racial profiling wouldn't be allowed. What do you think of those concerns?
Bryant: "I know it's a red flag that some groups use, I think, to try to derail the lawful enforcement of the immigration laws. … A law enforcement officer makes the necessary arrest based on probable cause and facts. Because you've got to arrest that individual, you've got to handcuff them, you've got to take them to jail, you've got to book them in. Then you have to go to court and defend that arrest. And so the idea that a law enforcement officer would say, 'I'm going to profile this individual and somehow have a trumped-up cause to arrest him because he's Hispanic' is just ridiculous. It is not going to happen. And I trust Mississippi law enforcement officers to make certain that doesn't happen."
AP: What kind of economic development proposals are on your 2013 agenda?
Bryant: "We are going to try to work carefully with the Legislature to fund MDA (the Mississippi Development Authority) at a level that is conservative but effective. … And we will involve the state auditor's office at early stages when we begin to look for incentivizing bringing businesses into the state. That's never been done before, but the state auditor and I have talked and we are anxious and certainly encouraged by his willingness to join us in more transparency."
AP: Are you making proposals to shore up finances of the Public Employees Retirement System?
Bryant: "The PERS board believes that they can grow their investments by 8 percent. If they do that, then their actuary believes that certainly it will begin to grow the revenue to a level to sustain our projected retirees. Now, my concern is, if it doesn't grow at 8 percent, if we don't have those returns on investments, then what? Well, I tell you, the retirement will have to keep coming to the Legislature for more funding … which, again, reduces the revenue that we have to invest in education, public safety and other issues. What I'd like the board to do is to take, for example, a three-year period and to say at the end of this three-year period if your projections have not been met, if you haven't grown by the 8 percent investment, make concrete recommendations of how the difference will be made. … I think we have a responsibility to deliver on our promises to retirees."
AP: You've said repeatedly that you oppose expanding Medicaid under the federal Affordable Care Act. Do you still oppose it?
Bryant: "We'll resist it. … We would simply have to raise taxes or make draconian cuts in state budgets."
AP: You talk about wanting to expand the medical industry in Mississippi. People who support expanding Medicaid enrollment say the extra federal money could help drive the addition of more medical facilities and workers.
Bryant: "I think it's a difference between looking at the world from a public view, a public political view, and a private-sector view. And the private-sector portion of me says to expand the health care industry as an economic driver that we need to bring in more doctors, more nurses, create more jobs. Now, creating those jobs through public dollars means that you've got to take money from someone else in Mississippi to provide those jobs. … It's not as if doctors are going to move to Mississippi and we're going to all the sudden have just more nurses that magically appear. … If tomorrow we began to expand Medicaid and in two years we added 300,000 Mississippians, all you're going to do is reduce access to care for everyone. Because you're basically going to have the same population of doctors and nurses."

BayHep B
BayHep B® (hepatitis b immune globulin human)
(Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (Human)) Solvent/Detergent Treated
Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (Human)
BayHep B® (hepatitis b immune globulin human) treated with solvent/detergent is a sterile solution of hepatitis B hyperimmune immune globulin for intramuscular administration; it contains no preservative. BayHep B (hepatitis b immune globulin human) is prepared by cold ethanol fractionation from the plasma of donors with high titers of antibody to the hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs). The immune globulin is isolated from solubilized Cohn Fraction II. The Fraction II solution is adjusted to a final concentration of 0.3% tri-n-butyl phosphate (TNBP) and 0.2% sodium cholate. After the addition of solvent (TNBP) and detergent (sodium cholate), the solution is heated to 30°C and maintained at that temperature for not less than 6 hours. After the viral inactivation step, the reactants are removed by precipitation, filtration and finally ultrafiltration and diafiltration. BayHep B is formulated as a 15–18% protein solution at a pH of 6.4–7.2 in 0.21–0.32 M glycine. BayHep B (hepatitis b immune globulin human) is then incubated in the final container for 21–28 days at 20–27°C. Each vial contains anti-HBs antibody equivalent to or exceeding the potency of anti-HBs in a U.S. reference hepatitis B immune globulin (Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, FDA). The U.S. reference has been tested against the World Health Organization standard Hepatitis B Immune Globulin and found to be equal to 217 international units (IU) per mL.
The removal and inactivation of spiked model enveloped and non-enveloped viruses during the manufacturing process for BayHep B (hepatitis b immune globulin human) has been validated in laboratory studies. Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Type 1 (HIV-1), was chosen as the relevant virus for blood products; Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) was chosen to model Hepatitis C virus; Pseudorabies virus (PRV) was chosen to model Hepatitis B virus and the Herpes viruses; and Reo virus type 3 (Reo) was chosen to model non-enveloped viruses and for its resistance to physical and chemical inactivation. Significant removal of model enveloped and non-enveloped viruses is achieved at two steps in the Cohn fractionation process leading to the collection of Cohn Fraction II: the precipitation and removal of Fraction III in the processing of Fraction II + IIIW suspension to Effluent III and the filtration step in the processing of Effluent III to Filtrate III. Significant inactivation of enveloped viruses is achieved at the time of treatment of solubilized Cohn Fraction II with TNBP/sodium cholate.

text: Not like in the picture, but actually involved? My husband is great for the most part and excited about a baby. However, he has no interest in going to the doctor with me, decorating the nursery, or registering. My ex husband did it all with me and he was an ass! So I can't figure out why my husband is so uninterested.

The painting was mentioned in the Pio da Carpi inventory of 1624. Traditional literature, on the other hand, placed it in the collection of Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi (1595–1632), which was dispersed in 1660 by his brother Niccolò, the Prince of Piombino, in whose inventory of 1633 it appeared as a work by Castelfranco's maestro.
In 1734, it was in Ferrara, in the collection of Cardinal Tommaso Ruffo, where it was attributed to Dosso Dossi. Following the donation by Prince Fabrizio Ruffo di Motta Bagnara in 1919, the work entered the Museo del Palazzo di Venezia.
More recently, on the other hand, Rognoni (1990) ascribed the work to the circle of Giorgione, against the opinion of Lucco (1980, 1990), convinced that it was indeed by the Venetian master, as was Ballarin, whose various publications (1976–78 and 1993) forcibly asserted the name of Giorgione, dating the picture to about 1502, in the period of such masterpieces as the Portrait of a Man in Armour and The Tempest. The scholar has focused on the cultural matrix of the painting, which has its roots in the courtly romances and Neoplatonic Venetian literature of the early Cinquecento as typified by Pietro Bembo's Asolani.
The painting provides an original interpretation of the two-figure portrait, concentrating on the subject of amorous passion leading to melancholy love.

text: A friend of mine gave me this call this morning. I never saw one like this before and took it home and started practicing with it. I wasn't sure how to use it, but got it figured out and doesn't sound bad. I think i'm going to try it this spring maybe later on in the season when nothing else seems to work. It might be what the Dr. ordered.

iPhone application developers tell their stories
Posted November 4, 2009; 03:26 p.m.
Four entrepreneurs will talk about their experiences creating communication, gaming, social networking and health applications for the iPhone during a panel discussion at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, in the Friend Center Auditorium.
The event will explore what types of applications are popular, how a developer gets started and what business models can increase the chances of success. The panelists have developed applications ranging from one that allows iPhone users to exchange contact information by bumping their phones together to another than helps diabetics track and control their blood sugar.
The event is sponsored by the Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education, Jumpstart New Jersey Angel Network and Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP. A reception will follow in the Friend Center Atrium.

When I saw a few of these precious little frocks featured on Utterly Engaged, I fell head over heels in love with J.Crew's flower girl line. I'm pretty sure you will, too. Now, I may have gone a little overboard in this post – I've included what seems to be nearly every gown they offer, from silk taffeta to dupioni to tousled tulle. But you know what? I post what I love, and I love pretty much all of them, so why stop at five when I love 15? You get me.
Just wait until you scroll down. It's not only the dresses that have me swooning; their little girl shoes are absolutely adorable, and the jewelry + embellishments they have available are simply too charming for words. Honestly, everything is so darling, it almost makes me sick.
Twinkle ballet flats! Oh, how delightful.
Patent-leather Mary Janes:
Satin ballet flats with rosettes:
Yup, they come in white, too.
Keeping it casual? Here's a simple satin ballet flat for the little munchkin.
The only thing I love more than these silk organza flower pins, is the fact that they're 30% off when you buy two or more of them. That's kinda nice. Sadly, I don't have a use for them, but I hope you do!
Aaaand finally, a few pearls to round out the look and add that oh so fine finishing touch.
There's kind of a HUGE price disparity between the necklace and the bracelet, by the way. I don't really understand it (aside from the obvious fact that we're dealing with real and fake). Still, that bracelet is WAY less expensive than you probably think it is. Like, shockingly so. So, as my fiancé likes to kid – here's today's lesson in Economics 101 with Alison: why buy a little girl freshwater pearls when they make perfectly good fake ones? This way, when she misplaces or fully loses it sometime between when you give it to her and your ceremony, it won't be that big of a deal. Because she probably will lose it. And you will get upset, if they were freshwater pearls. No, not normal you – the crazy, getting married version of you who's capable of losing her temper in front of little girls.
