Photo-text exhibit celebrates families of many kinds
An exhibit that celebrates families of all kinds will be on display November 9 through to November 23 in and around the offices of Binghamton University's Human Development Division, located on the ground floor of the Academic B building on the campus. An opening reception for the In Our Family exhibit has been scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, November 9. The reception and the exhibit are free and open to the public.
In Our Family is a 20-piece touring photo-text exhibit created by Family Diversity Projects, a non-profit organization devoted to educating the public about issues related to the diversity of family life. With interviews by Peggy Gillespie and Rebekah Boyd, and photos by Gigi Kaeser, the exhibit highlights families of many kinds including adoptive families, foster families, multiracial families, single-parent families and lesbian and gay-parented families. Each family photograph is accompanied by words of parents and children in these families who speak candidly about life, revealing the common threads that bind them together: love.
The exhibit is sponsored by Binghamton University's School of Education and Human Development faculty Sally Dear and Sean Massey, in cooperation with a host of University offices and departments.
For more information about the exhibit or the reception, contact Dear at (607) 777-4186 or Massey at (607) 777-4574.

Students have had notebooks en masse for 10-15 years now, and THOSE didn't really revolutionize the classroom.
This is what always bothers me about the tech in classroom push, I graduated college only two years ago and while it makes me feel like a Luddite to say it, I think the combination of a video projector connected to the professor's laptop, a whiteboard, and a student with pen and paper doesn't really have a whole lot of room for improvement outside of specialized cases. My sister in law is an elementary teacher, so I know kids are one of the cases where tech can be put to really good use, but this article is talking about college and so will I.
Software is about automation, and for the most part we've already solved most of the pain points that detract from the ability to have a productive lecture. I think thats why most of the real improvements have been made in online classes, and the online components of traditional classes. By making all course materials instantly accessible anywhere the only things that lectures have over online classes anymore is the immediacy of interaction with the professor, and the act of note-taking. What else actually matters in a lecture and what tech could actually help that in the lecture hall? Maybe something like google moderator for huge class sizes would be useful? I'd say that being able to recall anything that happened in the lectures would be great, but even when I had access to recordings of a multi-campus class I took over a teleconferencing service I never used them.
And the note taking device doesn't really make a whole lot of difference, software can't (yet) automate the act of putting information into your brain. I did some classes with pen and paper, I did some by typing on a laptop, and a classmate used a laptop-that-rotates-into-touchscreen-and-stylus job; it's all just a matter of preference really.
That sounds like a particularly nasty mess right there, as most of the attacks originate from foreign soil.
This is terrible terrible news for the coffee shops of the world that offer free wifi.
Because if someone can break in, either the company broken into is completely incompetent at their own security, or the attacker is good enough to have the foresight required to not to launch an attack from their own network.
It's not that most of these guys are necessarily bad people, but hackers (in the DEFCON sense) do tend to follow alpha male mentality. Now mix that up with copious amounts of alcohol, the poor social adjustment that many geeks have, and the "anything goes" attitude of Sin City, and yeah you'll have problems.
My experience was that most attendee's poor social adjustment manifested as incredibly timid behavior. You know, just like any nerd-out-of-water ever.
The guy I went to Vegas with made it his mission (and I eventually joined him to a small extent) to spend the weekend pulling people out of their shells.
The logo itself is a status symbol.
I used to think this was just an insult to apple buyers. Then the iPhone 4s came out. I'll never forget the first words that came out of my apple buying friend's mouth after seeing the design. "How will anyone be able to tell I have the new one?"
Business is usually more concerned with people than technology.
Correct. High level businesspeople don't not care about social relations, statistically they're actually more likely than the general population to be psychopaths, and even when they're not diagnostically so, they make use of the same social toolbox as a psychopath.
Fix the families. Restore family values. Education and all other aspects of life will follow.
I agree that parents are the problem, they need to take a more active role in their children's education, but what are family values? And how are they going to fix the educational life of any child?
I'm not being sarcastic, I actually want to know what "restoring family value" means, because as far as I've been able to tell its a dog whistle term for other things, most of which don't have anything to do with parenting and the few that do are about sheltering children from sex. None of which does dogshit towards making kids care about their own education.
This is the core issue of network neutrality! A network provider should be a neutral network provider, it should not prioritise one vendor's service over another vendor's equivalent service
Yup, this really is the core of the issue. Now, its easy to understand why this exception they've given themselves seems to make sense, the problem is what it implies. A popular 'worst case' is that service providers can't just buy bandwidth and sling to all consumers limited only by the bandwidth they buy and the network path to the consumer. Now, with comcast pulling this, it will eventually be rightly called out as anti-compeptive, they will go to whatever authority calls them out hat-in-hand and say they just can't afford to pull all that data from an outside network, but offer to allow content providers unlimited access to their customers if the other provider does the legwork to get the traffic on comcast's "internal" network, now to "remain competitive" the Netflixs of the world have to start eating more and more costs as they rework their locations and their choice of upstream provider to conform with every consumer ISP whos customers they want to serve to get around artificial roadblocks erected by the ISP.
No it's because Schneier has a conflict-of-interest since he's a hostile party in an ongoing lawsuit against the TSA. It makes sense that he would be excluded.
Last year they were both able to testify, just in separate sessions.

But Congressman, my revenues are down! It must be piracy, people don't take principled stands!
at least there is a bit I admire from them and it's their independence. They are only pursuing the IPO because they are forced to, but Zuckerberg has attempted to keep things indie (huge indie but still indie) all this time.
Facebook stopped being indie years and years ago (issuing shares, taking VC cash). Since then its all been carefully managed image and branding. He was never forced to IPO, its just his chickens coming home to roost.

The vast majority of people searching for santorum are searching for info about the candidate, not obscene material. If Google wants to provide useful search results, they will change the policy.
They don't need to change the policy. If its not what they're looking for, spreading santorum will start naturally falling in the results. The fact that its not falling is proof that people are searching for 'santorum' to get some laughs from Savage's page.

Best laptop ever 4/2/2015
The X230 is the best convertible laptop you will find. Very quick, not too heavy...less than 4 pounds. I know that seems like a lot nowadays, but honestly, it isn't that much heavier than a tablet with a Zagg or an otter case. Very quick response time. Beautiful keyboard. Plenty of room for expansion. I got 4GB, but expandable to 16! Also, I opted for the 500GB HDD and will change later and cheaper to SSD at about 50 cents per GB. One Note makes it amazing with the tablet feature! Love it!

ORIGINAL: trkynut54
Say you have a gobbler answering every call you throw at him but he doesn't budge an inch. What do you do?
I've got several birds that have spent whole seasons not budging an inch from some bastion, usually just off my property. I think part of it is the barrier thing. Some are across a creek. Some are across a fence. That will certainly cause a gobbler not to come. Henned up gobs will do the same thing. I have one gob that stays on top of a little hill and gobbles 4 seasons of the year. He's only 100-200 yards off my property, but he'd sooner pull his own head off as to come to one of my calls. Honor them? yes. Come? No way.
However, I want to address the nature of the question: I would say the question itself begs the answer of: "You're overcalling, and it's time to shut up and do something different."
If it really is a barrier, then you have to figure out how to get on the other side of the barrier. When you get over that barrier, I wouldn't be throwing the same call at the gob. Otherwise he will think you're coming to him and just sit there and wait.
If it is a flock of hens that have him henned up, you're going to have to figure out where the flock is going and head them off.
Most turkeys I've killed that I could watch from a distance will stop each time I call and go into a strut. The longer I keep calling, the longer it takes them to get in. The turkey I called from the longest distance away came from hundreds of yards with only a yelp now and again from my box-- about every 10 minutes or so. If you have a gob that stays put yet honors your every call-- he ain't coming. At least not while you're calling.

I'm with Neuroleptic. I saw the MTT for the first time today. I got excited until I saw the back. Here are the action features: There's a flip down panel for battle droids to have coffee, a side ladder for battle droids to climb, a flip up missile turret that's EU, and a distributing droid rack which is the whole reason to make the MTT. All of this for 180 dollars. The "action features" is not worth the price. Now the BMF is back, and 100 dollars more expensive that the original. What exactly do you think a Sail Barge would cost? 500 dollars with no action features? For it to be worth buying, it could not have a scale where Jabbas head hits the the bottom of the deck. But that's the only way it would be affordable and cost effective for Hasbro to do. And thats not even including the weight of the "toy".
Secondly, you could submit Hasbro with a petition with a million signatures, and they wouldn't make it. Hasbro is a business and making the Sail Barge could potentially bankrupt them if it fails. Why would they risk it, especially with all the financial troubles around the world? They know that even if 100,000 people sign this petition, 100,000 people would not buy it if they had the opportunity.
It will take more than a petition with 100,000 signatures on it for Hasbro to even consider the idea. It would take a pre-production presale where full payments would need to be made before production even starts. The payments would have to be money orders only so no one could cancel there orders or demand a refund. The fans that are clamoring for this vehicle would be required to make an investment too, so Hasbro isn't the only one sticking their necks out. This petition is just that. fans demanding the Hasbro risk their very lively hood to appease a small minority of their consumer base, while fans get to sit back and "wait and see" if they will actually pay.

Members of the Sarasota County Commission agreed Wednesday to revisit the county's 2050 plan for development.
Developers of properties east of Interstate 75, in particular, have raised concerns with the plan, saying the restrictions are too specific and need updates and modifications.
Sarasota County Planning and Development Services will schedule public meetings for addition input on the proposed amendments to the county's comprehensive plan and land development codes.
"We should not lose sight of the fact that the recommendations provided by the private sector do not seek to change what 2050 was intended to do — clustering development and preserving open space," said Todd Pokrywa, vice president of planning for Lakewood Ranch developer Schroeder-Manatee Ranch.
Commissioners adopted the Sarasota 2050 Plan in 2002.

The most serious side effects reported with metronidazole (the active ingredient contained in Flagyl 375) have included convulsive seizures, encephalopathy, aseptic meningitis, optic and peripheral neuropathy (primarily characterized by numbness or paresthesia of an extremity). Persistent peripheral neuropathy has been reported with prolonged oral administration of metronidazole.[Ref]
Nervous system
Headache (18%) and dizziness (4%) were reported in patients using the extended-release tablet formulation. Headaches were considered severe in 10% of these patients.
A rare but serious side effect of metronidazole (the active ingredient contained in Flagyl 375) was peripheral neuropathy which was thought to be related to dose and duration of therapy. Most cases occurred after doses of 1000 to 2400 mg per day for at least 30 days, or a total dose of 50 grams. Neuropathy was generally located in the lower extremities and presented with numbness, tingling, and paresthesias. Patients should be advised to discontinue metronidazole if they experience these effects. Neuropathy may be persistent despite discontinuation of metronidazole. Seizures associated with metronidazole were rare, but did occur.
Several cases of MRI abnormalities of the dentate nuclei associated with symptoms of ataxia and dysarthria have been reported. The symptoms and dentate nuclei lesions resolved several weeks after discontinuation of metronidazole. These symptoms and metronidazole-induced lesions in the brain stem and cerebellar nuclei have also been described in rat studies.[Ref]
Very common (10% or more): Headache
Common (1% to 10%): Dizziness
Frequency not reported: Encephalopathy, aseptic meningitis, peripheral neuropathy (characterized mainly by numbness or paresthesia of an extremity), convulsive seizures, vertigo, syncope, incoordination, ataxia, confusion, dysarthria, weakness, reversible abnormalities in the cerebellar dentate nuclei[Ref]
Very common (10% or more): Nausea
Common (1% to 10%): Taste perversion (metallic taste), abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry mouth
Rare (less than 0.1%): Pseudomembranous colitis, pancreatitis

Nausea (10%), taste perversion (metallic taste; 9%), abdominal pain (4%), diarrhea (4%), and dry mouth (2%) in patients using the extended-release tablet formulation. Nausea was considered severe in less than 2% of these patients.
Furry tongue, glossitis, and stomatitis may be associated with sudden overgrowth of Candida.
Although metronidazole has been used to treat pseudomembranous colitis, it has rarely also been implicated as a causative agent. These rare cases have been successfully treated with vancomycin.[Ref]
Very common (10% or more): Vaginitis
Common (1% to 10%): Genital pruritus, abnormal urine, dysmenorrhea, urinary tract infection
Rare (less than 0.1%): Darkened urine
Frequency not reported: Dysuria, cystitis, polyuria, incontinence, vulvovaginal candidiasis, vaginal itching, dyspareunia, sense of pelvic pressure[Ref]
Vaginitis (15%), genital pruritus (5%), abnormal urine (3%), dysmenorrhea (3%), and urinary tract infection (2%) were reported in patients using the extended-release tablet formulation.
Instances of darkened urine have been investigated. The pigment responsible has not been positively identified; however, it is most likely a metabolite of metronidazole and appears to have no clinical significance.[Ref]
Bacterial infection (7%), influenza-like symptoms (6%), and moniliasis (3%) were reported in patients using the extended-release tablet formulation.
A disulfiram-like reaction has been reported in some patients drinking ethanol while taking metronidazole (the active ingredient contained in Flagyl 375) Patients have experienced abdominal distress, vomiting, flushing, nausea, headache, and hypotension.

Common (1% to 10%): Upper respiratory tract infection, rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis
Metronidazole (the active ingredient contained in Flagyl 375) has rarely been associated with a serum sickness-like reaction which presented as arthralgias, malaise, fever, chills, pruritus, and rash.[Ref]
Rare (less than 0.1%): Serum sickness-like reaction
Frequency not reported: Hypersensitivity (including urticaria, erythematous rash, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, flushing, nasal congestion, dryness of the mouth [or vagina or vulva], fever), fixed drug eruptions, cross-sensitivity to other nitroimidazole derivatives[Ref]

JACKSON – Hamp Smith and Ralph David Ritch say they did not seek positions on the state boards they currently serve on to garner political power or wealth.
Ritch laughs when asked how much he makes for serving on the Mississippi Board of Chiropractic Examiners.
"I couldn't tell you," said Ritch, who lives in Tupelo but since 1975 has operated a chiropractic clinic in Fulton.
Smith said he serves on the state Board of Contractors representing electrical contractors to help improve the contractor profession in the state and "to safeguard the consumers from unscrupulous contractors."
Smith, a vice president with JESCO's mechanical/electrical division, and Ritch were among the 10 Northeast Mississippians confirmed by the state Senate during the 2013 session to serve on the dozens of boards and commissioners that govern various state agencies.
In most instances, the new terms for the nearly 90 Mississippians confirmed during the 2013 session have just started or will begin this summer.
Smith and Ritch were originally appointed to their respective boards by former Democratic Gov. Ronnie Musgrove and re-appointed by Republican Haley Barbour. They are being appointed for a third time by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant. Ritch's new term began in April and will end in April 2018. Smith's new term will start on July 1 and conclude June 30, 2018.
Others confirmed
Other Northeast Mississippians confirmed during the 2013 session are:
• Elizabeth McConnell (Betsey) Hamilton of New Albany for the Board of Trustees of the Department of Archives and History for an unexpired term that will end on Jan. 1, 2016.
• Clayton Wood Wilson of Vardaman to the Board of Animal Health for a four-year term ending July 31, 2017.
• Paul Daniel Gunnoe of Oxford for the Medical Care Advisory Committee for a term that began in April to run concurrently with the governor.
• Mike McBunch of Tupelo to the Board of Barber Examiners for a four-year term ending June 30, 2017.
• John Wesley Campbell Jr. of Starkville to the state Board of Barber Examiners for a four-year term beginning July 1.
• Jess B. Davis of Abbeville to the Veterans Home Purchase Board for a four-year term ending June 30, 2017.
• David Hughes McElreath of Oxford to the Veterans Affairs Board for a five-year term ending May 4, 2018.
• Frank Evans Jr. of Calhoun City to the Board of Optometry for a five-year term ending on June 30, 2018.
With the exception of Hamilton, all of the Northeast Mississippians confirmed in 2013 were nominated by the governor. In some instances, other state officials have appointments to boards. Hamilton was nominated by the Archives and History Board that is given the authority to fill a certain number of its own slots.
In most cases, the boards meet quarterly or even less. Some major boards, such as the Board of Education and Board of Health, often meet every month.
In most cases, members receive $40 per meeting, plus expenses, such as mileage.

Yesterday, JPMorgan analyst John Bridges reiterated a point that we're all aware of by now–lower gold prices has changed the business and mining companies have to behave differently. He wrote:
The world's largest miners have been crafted to offer investors maximum exposure to the metal, which was perfect for the 1999/2011 bull-run for the metal. However, in a flat or falling market, this structure is challenging. Already Barrick (ABX), which has tried to sell off its African assets, recently concluded the sale of part of its energy business and is also considering other assets for sale. We feel this process will continue to focus management attention on the best margin parts of the business, and this could deliver significantly different companies by year-end.
As if to confirm his point, Gold Fields (GFI) CEO Nick Holland said that gold below $1,500 would be a big problem for miners. Bloomberg has the details:
"The industry is not sustainable at $1,230 an ounce, which is where the gold price is at the moment," Holland said today in a telephone interview. "We're going to need at least $1,500 an ounce to sustain this industry in any reasonable form."
…Gold Fields's South Deep mine in South Africa is one of the few mines that could survive at the current gold price of 1,230 an ounce, Holland said. The mine's size and the fact that it's largely mechanized, meaning it's less reliant on labor demanding pay rises, will help keep costs low, he said.
Also worrisome: Some big miners are now trading as if they're junk, according to, yes, Bloomberg, once again.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Here's a story that includes a comparison pic:
Uh, yeah. I'm going to sue Star Wars because the Turbo Tank has wheels so they totally ripped off my car and I deserve a thousand dollars!!!!!!
That's my jacket!
Thanks for the link. "We invented towers and domes, they be hatin!" I truly hope LEGO doesn't buckle to this, it's utter garbage.
That said, pretty sure the door was on the other side from the dome and tower in the movie design.
In so much as a round building made out of plastic bricks can look like a real building made out of stone and bricks, then YES it's exact. How exactly is a toy brick building that shares a few basic design elements as a real building "racist?"
If the Lego toy looked more like the Hagia Sophia (a Roman-era CHURCH, by the way, that was converted to a mosque centuries later) and more unlike the film version, I could see the complaint. This is just downright stupid, though. Merely moving the door to make a simpler toy does not racism make. (And I'm surprised there's no gripe about the Gamorreans being intentionally included because pigs are unclean to Muslims, or something.)
Hence my claim that the Turbo Tank rips off my car and I deserve royalties even though I didn't make it. GET ON IT, DISNEY!!! I NEED TO PAY MY RENT!!!!!
That's my jacket!
What a bunch of Turekys! It *could* have been a little more movie-accurate but it's pretty clear that it is not supposed to represent that church.
Too bad they didn't make the door ten times bigger on the outside than it is on the inside to commemorate the Blu-ray release. THAT is the real tragedy here.
heh, yeah! Oh, JJ Abrahms is directing Episode 7!
Those crazy Turks!
Seems to me that their beef is with ROTJ itself, not necessarily the toy. I really don't think they have a leg to stand on in court.

Championship round-up
Saints and Boro settle for draws; Saunders starts with a win
Last Updated: 24/09/11 7:15pm
Schneiderlin: Struck a late equaliser to keep Southampton one point clear at the top

Southampton and Middlesbrough were both held to draws, while Dean Saunders began life as Doncaster manager with a win.
Click below for individual match reports and stats:
Birmingham 1 Barnsley 1
Bristol City 1 Hull City 1
Burnley 1 Southampton 1
Coventry 1 Reading 1
Derby 3 Millwall 0
Doncaster 1 Crystal Palace 0
Middlesbrough 0 Ipswich 0
Portsmouth 1 Blackpool 0
West Ham 1 Peterborough 0
Watford 0 Nottm Forest 1
Southampton fell behind to struggling Burnley at Turf Moor but salvaged a point courtesy of Morgan Schneiderlin's equaliser in a 1-1 draw.
Saints' failure to win presented unbeaten Middlesbrough with the opportunity to go top of the table by beating Ipswich at The Riverside, but the game ended in a frustrating goalless draw.
Derby continued their fine start to the season as first-half goals from Craig Bryson and Jeff Hendrick set the Rams on course for a 3-0 victory over Millwall at Pride Park.
Mark Noble's early penalty extended West Ham's unbeaten run to seven games and propelled them into fourth place with a 1-0 success against Peterborough.
Doncaster made the decision to replace Sean O'Driscoll with Saunders this week following a dismal start to the season, and the change had a galvanising effect as John Oster's strike was enough to give the club their first league win of the season against Crystal Palace.
Erik Huseklepp found the target to give Portsmouth a hard-fought 1-0 win over previously in-form Blackpool at Fratton Park.
An equaliser from Brett Pitman cancelled out Robert Koren's opener as lowly Bristol City hit back to hold Hull City 1-1.
Gary McSheffrey scored for Coventry after just two minutes of their game against Reading but Simon Church levelled things up just eight minutes later and there were no further goals in a 1-1 draw.
There was another 1-1 draw at St Andrews as Birmingham left it late to snatch a point at home to Barnsley thanks to Chris Burke's strike.
Ishmael Miller's goal gave Nottingham Forest a much-needed 1-0 win against Watford at Vicarage Road in the day's late kick-off.

OMAHA, Neb. – Scott Stricklin, Mississippi State's athletics director, received an email from a concerned man in Georgia this week. The issue: The amount of chest hair being shown by Mississippi State's players during Monday's win over Indiana in the College World Series.
During the broadcast, ESPN2's cameras kept close watch on the MSU dugout, where the likes of Trevor Fitts, Kendall Graveman and Evan Mitchell had undone at least two buttons on their jerseys.
And they weren't wearing undershirts. Because as Fitts has noted on Twitter, several players are part of so-called #teamnoundershirt.
"I usually just have one unbuttoned, the top, and then we just needed some extra mojo," Fitts said. "Kendall came up to me and was like, 'Hey, unbutton the next one.'"
Fans who don't care for that look, well, it's not going anywhere.
It worked Monday, as MSU rallied in the eighth inning for a 5-4 win, and now it's on the brink of playing for the CWS title. The Bulldogs play Oregon State at 2 p.m. today and will have two chances to advance to next week's best-of-three championship series.
A big part of this run has been the self-named Bench Mobb, which is responsible for the unbuttoned shirts and other assorted goofiness. The ringleader is sophomore pitcher Ross Mitchell, who's just as effective in this role as he is on the mound, where he sports a 13-0 record and 1.31 ERA.
"I would rather be a good teammate than I'd rather be a great player," Mitchell said. "I hope people remember me as a teammate more than my record."
His teammates certainly love him, and they follow his lead. During games, several of them wear white caps that read "Bench Mob" – they were made by Mitchell's dad, who owns a sewing and embroidery business.
"I told him, I said, 'You could make a lot of money trying to sell these hats.' Everybody's been asking me for them," Mitchell said. "There's actually two B's in 'Mobb,' but he didn't tell me he was making them, so I would've warned him beforehand."
Keeping it loose
During Monday's game, cameras caught both Mitchells (no relation) and Jacob Lindgren freestyle rapping during MSU's at-bats. Lindgren said they call that the "Free Three," in which they make up rhymes on the spot about whoever is at the plate.
Mitchell, Lindgren and several other Bench Mobb members recently made a rap video, which as of Thursday had nearly 11,000 views.
"We made the song kind of as a joke, and when Ross put it up on Twitter, a lot of people were asking for a video," Lindgren said. "So we figured it might bring some luck to the team in this World Series."
There are plenty of wacky rituals instigated by the Bench Mobb intended to bring good fortune. Like the no undershirt thing, which actually began during the Bulldogs' run to the 2012 SEC Tournament title.
A team manager at the time, Tupelo's G.T. McCullough, was going sans undershirt, so several of the players followed suit. That fashion statement was revived late this season.
Fitts, who has been an ardent supporter of #teamnoundershirt on Twitter, said it took off in Game 3 of the Ole Miss series. After dropping the first two games, MSU rallied from six runs down on that Sunday for a 7-6 win.
It's those sort of things that keep this team loose, and that attitude, players believe, is a big reason a CWS title is within reach.
"It's relaxing," said starting outfielder Demarcus Henderson. "You never look over there and see our bench all tied up and tensed up about any moment that goes bad or good. They're always having fun, and coach (John) Cohen, he loves it to death.
"If they don't do it, he's probably mad, and we'll hear about it the next day."
Cohen has certainly let his players express themselves, and they've been able to do so without losing focus on their roles or the games themselves. Ross Mitchell epitomizes that, and not just because he can be goofy one moment, then shutting down batters the next.
There's something deeper at work with Mitchell, according to pitching coach Butch Thompson. And without it, the Bench Mobb might not be what it is.
"He's eccentric, he's unique, but at the same time there's a lot of layers to him, and there's an unbelievable energy force about him of doing things right," Thompson said. "When you clear back through all the stuff that makes you laugh, there's a real person.
"There's something that sticks out of him that's electric that's different, because you don't see this very often in a 20-year coaching career. He's special."

An emergency is any immediate threat to life and/or property that requires immediate response from police, fire, or ambulance personnel. Your judgment often determines whether an incident is an emergency. If you consider a situation to be an emergency, then it is an emergency and the procedures in this booklet should be followed. If in doubt, err on the side of safety!
Animals are not allowed on premises. The only exception is assistance animals.
In the case of rabid or dangerous animals:
Upon receiving a message that a bomb has been planted on the premises:
Weapons of mass destruction likely to be employed by terrorists fall into four basic categories: Nuclear, Biological, Chemical, and Conventional. Follow these procedures to protect human life.
Nuclear: Defense against nuclear weapons depends primarily on distance from the point of detonation. Follow same action steps for "Conventional."
Conventional: The danger from the blast effect of conventional explosive devices is similar to nuclear devices with a higher rate of survivability.
If responding to the threat of an imminent conventional or nuclear blast nearby:
Biological: Defense against biological attacks is difficult. Awareness is usually not possible for days or weeks. The first signs may emerge as personnel notice a higher than usual incidence of various symptoms.
Should a biological attack be discovered while work/classes are underway:
If the site/college is the target:
Inside the building/classroom:
If taken hostage:
In the event of fire or smoke:
If gas odor has been detected in the building:
If the fire alarm is activated, follow evacuation procedures, otherwise:
Incident occurred on site/campus:
Evacuations are conducted when a situation inside a building is dangerous to people. The evacuation directive is issued to clear a room / building / site in a timely and orderly manner. Evacuation directives may come in the form of alarms, verbal direction from authorities, door-to-door, text or e-mail messages, or other means.
Lock-down procedures may be issued in situations involving dangerous intruders or other incidents that may result in harm to people outside site/college buildings. MEMS Team/Facilities/Director of Public Safety will issue lock-down order by announcing (via speaker, bullhorn, text message, e-mail) and/or sending a messenger to each floor/classroom, or other alternate method.
In the event of a lockdown/shelter-in-place is decided, follow the direction of authorized personnel (Evacuation Team/MEMS Team/Public Safety Officers/other personnel delegated by administrator on duty.
These directions will include:
Allow no one outside of offices/classrooms until the police/fire/authorized personnel give the all-clear signal. An all-clear signal needs to be determined.
When in designated assembly areas, account for all employees/students and visitors. Immediately inform response authorities of missing staff and/or student(s).
Reverse Evacuation/Shelter-in-place provides refuge for employees, students, and visitors within site/campus buildings during an emergency. Shelters are located in areas that maximize the safety of inhabitants. Safe areas may change, depending on the emergency. Be prepared to go into lockdown/shelter-in-place once inside.
If advised:
Sheltering provides refuge for employees, students, and visitors within buildings during an emergency. Shelters are located in areas that maximize the safety of occupants. Safe areas may change depending on the emergency.
If advised:
During an emergency, adhere to the following procedures:
If incident occurred off site/campus:
Suicide attempt on site/campus:
Suicidal death/Serious injury:
Severe Weather Warning has been issued in an area near site/college or severe weather has been spotted near site/college:

In order to maximize the numbers and kinds of birds that are attracted to your backyard, it is a best to place feeders in all the feeding niches: ground level, eye level, tree hanging, and tree trunk. The feeders in each niche will attract different kinds of birds, though there is some overlap.
Find out about natural food sources for birds.
Ground tray and tray on post
Northern Cardinals will generally feed only at feeders that have flat footing for them.
Hanging tube
Black-capped Chickadees, on the other hand, prefer to eat sunflower seeds from feeders with tiny perches. They will even hang upside-down on any kind of perch, wire or bag feeder.
Hopper on post
Again, Northern Cardinals will eat from a hopper feeder that has an edge wide enough for them to get good footing.
Caged suet holder
Woodpeckers eat suet from laminated cage-type feeders that hang on tree trunks.
Sugar water feeder
Hummingbirds, orioles and tanagers drink sugar water from orange- or red-colored hanging feeders placed at windows or from trees on patios.

Three layers of flavor are packed into these rich bars, which have a crust made from a box Betty Crocker SuperMoist devils food cake mix, a creamy peanut butter filling and a decadent ganache topping.
A layer of parchment paper on the bottom of your pan is a great way to keep these bars looking great. It makes removing your bars from the pan super simple, and clean up is even easier!
Love chocolate? Try swapping the peanut butter for hazelnut spread with cocoa. Delicious!

Why, I can smile, and murder while I smile,
And cry 'Content' to that which grieves my heart,
And wet my cheeks with artificial tears,
And frame my face to all occasions.
I can add colours to the chameleon,
Change shapes with Proteus for advantages,
And set the murderous Machiavel to school.
Can I do this, and cannot get a crown?
If Incognito has done what is alleged then he needs t be cut. There's no place for that type of garbage anywhere.
Please God, let me see 1 Dolphins Superbowl victory before I die.
You know I've just gone through irlr1994 -- or what his name is -- posts and I actually believe this guy is either Incognito or someone close to him. He only talks about the offensive line, praises Jeff Darlington (who Richie "trusted" to write the big feature on Richie) and constantly refers to Jason Smith, the legendary #2 overall draft pick bust of the Rams, who was taken when Incognito was there.
Go back and read through the posts before he or she deletes them. It's striking.
just because he said the n word that doesn't make him racist
To hell with suspending him, just cut Incognito and be done with it. His play has really declined anyway
people are such sensitive babies these days, u can't say anything anymore without someone throwing a hissu fit
we have to find out if he said the n word with a "er" or an "a" at then end of it cuz if it was "a" its not racist
Last week, my friend had to explain to his four year old adopted black son what the n-word is. The kid he heard it from didn't know what it meant, he just knew that my friend's son was one.
I'm sure that was a fun conversation, explaining to his kid why people think he's an inferior creature because of the way he looks. Of course, that's different from Jonathan Martin...by now I'm sure Martin has been called a ****** hundreds of times. Maybe thousands, given that he's been playing football in front of large crowds for years now. So he should really be over that. It's not like Richie tried to treat him like an inferior creature. I mean, other than shaking him down for money, talking **** and refusing to sit with him, but those are all hilarious antics meant to be in good fun.

I am wanting to go on a duck hunting trip to possibly Arkansas but I am always open to other places. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would also like to bring my dog with me on trip.
I am wanting to go on a duck hunting trip to possibly Arkansas but I am always open to other places. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would also like to bring my dog with me on trip.
So which state have you decided to hunt in? If you're hunting in Arkansas let me know and i can maybe help point you in the right direction.
Most outfits will let you bring your dog to hunt with, just be sure your dog is under control. I can't tell you how many times i've seen sports bring a dog with them out to the field that was an untrained monster. It will absolutely kill an enjoyable hunt.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it
Arkansas isn't exactly the mid-west... if you're talking about the popular places to hunt in the state (the areas with the most guides), you will be in the deep south near the MS River delta. If you truly want to go to the midwest duck hunting, then check out Tim West's place in Oklahoma (www.duckclubofoklahoma.com). I will be hunting with Tim this December right before Christmas. I'm also hunting a few days with Prairie Thunder Outfitters in Central Kansas. Haven't hunted with them before, so I'm not sure how it will go.
Either way, if you're going to hunt in midwest, you better start doing a rain dance. I'm afraid our trip is going to be a total bust, not enough water to hold birds right now.
-Barton Ramsey
River Chase Farms near Jonesboro AR is my pick. Luke has a website check it out for details. Dogs are welcome and ducks are thick
Contact Tim West in Oklahoma, he's a frequent in here.
Ive decided MO or Arkansas
Barton, don't worry. We had a drought last year as bad or worse than this one. We whacked em. We have a spring fed marsh, a pond that is 40 feet deep when it's down and other places gleaned through 17 years of guiding. And that's just the water....

The U.S. government's websites now require a more recent version of Acrobat Reader to allow you to view their forms and instructions (I have a full version of Acrobat 6.0 for Windows). No alternative is provided. I thus downloaded the latest Reader (> 70 MB!) and tried to install it. This has always been nerve-wracking as previous occasions have seen them manipulate the registry and services in nasty ways. This time I am convinced that Adobe's programmers are completely retarded. There's no facility for choosing options during the install so it deletes the previous version of Reader without asking for permission. The program starts but then, when I try to open the Preferences option it just crashes (tried multiple times, believe me). I gave up and so ran the uninstall program and, of course, it doesn't restore what it had deleted and leaves everything broken. I know that Adobe has been flirting with bankruptcy over the years and now I can see why - they employ only the incompetent. GAR!
On an unrelated note, the Advogato posters who embed video are still terminating the recent entries, and their own entries, prematurely. I haven't yet investigated further.

Apple and Cheddar pair up in deliciously easy Bisquick® mix muffins.
Rewarm leftover muffins in the microwave to serve wtih another meal. Place muffins on a microwavable plate or in a napkin-lined basket. Microwave uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds for 2 muffins or 20 to 30 seconds for 4 muffins.
Here are a couple of hints so your muffins bake nicely and have rounded tops. Mix the batter only until the dry ingredients are moistened. The batter will be slightly lumpy. Also, be sure that your oven isn't too hot. If the oven heats unevenly or is too hot, the muffins will be peaked.

Baking |Light Pumpkin Pie … pie that thinks it's a cheesecake #fall #dessert #pumpkin
"Cut my pie into four pieces, I don't think I could eat eight."
Yogi Berra
Light Pumpkin Pie. It's difficult to not think pumpkin and get deluged by orange thoughts once fall is in the air. Come autumn, and pumpkin pie spice is the on the top of my head. It breaks my heart to say goodbye to stone fruit when summer draws to a close, and somewhere in the hot summer months I always forget the charm of fall. These days there's loads of pumpkin on the table.
Oh the orange hues. persimmons, pumpkin {which is there pretty much all the year around here though}, and the little bitter kumquats. Such bright colours and so much fun! It's around this time that the boy will gently come and request for a pumpkin cake on Halloween. For him it's customary to ask. For me, it's another opportunity to experiment. With a steady source of good quality pumpkin pie spice from the sister in the US, I am happy to take the pumpkin route.
The pumpkin pie came along in a hurry as usual. The ingredients were very basic with fresh pumpkin puree and some left over condensed milk thrown in. There was an orange sitting on the counter so in went some zest as a last minute thought, then a dash of Grand Marnier to compliment it. You can always skip the liqueur, but try and add the orange zest. The flavour orange zest added was amazing.
Whenever I experiment with pies or cakes, there is a sense of panic on the other side. Will it set, won't it set. Will it slice cleanly, or maybe not??? Then again, hope it tastes OK! Heaved a mighty sigh of relief when it left the pan easily and didn't flow like lava. YES! It had set. A few pictures, then a slice later, a sense of jubilation. It set beautifully AND was firm enough to be sliced, staying light and moussey!
The boy wolfed down a couple of slices in the evening. Is it dessert Mama he asked, before eyeing another slice. It was his after all, made on personal request. I would have done him a pumpkin pie latte on the side but I got a little lazy.
The husband gave it a thumbs up too. Is it pie, is it cake I asked? Cheescakey he said. It's a pie that thinks it's a cheesecake I guess.

looking for volunteers to donate their web data to SCIENCE!
Do you know what network sniffers like Ethereal or Wireshark are? Do you like SCIENCE? Would you be willing to surf the web UNENCRYPTED and UNCOMPRESSED for about an hour (or so) and send me, a trustworthy individual, captures of the data you downloaded? If so, please read on.
If you don't know what Wireshark is or how to get it, you're not really sure what I'm talking about, how it would work technically, or you DO understand very well thankyouverymuch and are horrified or unwilling to do so because of security or privacy concerns, thank you, but you can stop reading now.
Still reading? Cool!
I'm working on a research project involving the properties of web data in the real world. It would be super convenient if I could just browse the web all day and use my own data for my experiments... unfortunately, I can't assume that the way I use the web is typical, so I need other people out in the world to surf the web and send me the logs of the data they viewed. I will perform analysis on the data, which *probably* won't require me to look at the data. (I can tell you more about my research if you are interested, but I don't want to post about it here.)
Does this sound like a privacy risk? It is. But, it's not as bad as it sounds. (If I thought I was putting you at risk, I wouldn't ask.) I need the full contents of the data you view through the browser, but I don't need or want you to do anything sensitive like do your online banking, email, Facebook, or researching that mole on your arm on WebMD.
Chances are, there's a lot of other stuff you do online that isn't normally encrypted and doesn't fall into the category of "highly personal" (unless you think everything you do is highly personal). That's exactly the kind of data I want. Still, there is a risk in saving your web data and sending it to me, since there could always be some unexpectedly private information in there. This SHOULD make you think twice... so no hard feelings if you just don't want to do it.
If you're still willing, I promise you that I will make every effort to keep the contents of your data private. In *most* cases I should not even need to examine the contents of the data, no one else will be given copies of it, and I will destroy it after my experiments. My analysis is mostly statistical and numerical in nature -- sizes of files, how long they would take to transfer over a network, etc. NO names of websites, IP addresses, content or anything like that will be revealed in my papers or graphs. There should be no way to personally identify that you contributed to my research.
Still willing to help?
Here's the process I would need you to go through. These instructions are for Firefox only:
1. Quit all open Firefox windows, and restart it. Open your preferences. Under Advanced | Network, clear your "web content cache".
2. Next, we need to disable encryption, because I can't analyze the properties of data if it is encrypted. (Don't worry, we'll arrange a way for you to transfer me the data in an encrypted fashion.)
In Preferences | Advanced, under Encryption, *uncheck* "Use SSL 3.0" and "Use TLS 1.0". Yes, again, I am asking you to DISABLE YOUR ENCRYPTION. This is a necessary step, but I will personally remind you to re-enable encryption when you send me your data.
3. Next, I need you to disable compression. In the "address bar" of Firefox, enter "about:config" and hit enter. It will (probably) print a warning about how this could ruin your browser, but what we are doing is safe and reversible. In the search window, type "encoding", which will limit the configuration lines to those that match.
Right-click on the line for the preference "network.http.accept-encoding". Look for the an option "Reset", which should be grayed out if you have not changed the setting. If it is NOT grayed out, then you have changed the setting. If it does not exist, you are using an old version of Firefox. Either way, write down the setting for that preference (the default is probably: "gzip, deflate").
Double-click on the entry, erase the text, and confirm the change.
4. Now, start Wireshark (or Ethereal if you are using that). On the upper left side of the corner (probably under the "Edit" menu) there is an icon of a network card with a wrench on it. Click it. This will configure the capture settings. We need to do four thigns: a) choose the interface, b) limit the capture to web traffic, c) limit the capture size, and d) start the capture. Here's how to do that:
a) Select the network card you are using -- probably eth0 if you are using a wired connection and wlan0 if you are using wireless.
b) Then, in the Capture Filter field, type "tcp port 80". This will limit the captured traffic to web data only.
c) Next, on the bottom left, check the box to "Stop capture ... after" a certain number of megabytes. I would prefer 25 or 50 megabytes of data.
d) Finally, click Start. Wireshark will begin logging web traffic.
5. Start surfing! Don't do anything sensitive like online banking or anything personal, but otherwise please just use the web as you normally do. You may notice that you can't access certain sites like Gmail or Facebook with SSL disabled. That's OK. As Han said to Chewie, "Fly Casual".
6. Wireshark will stop capturing data automatically, but you may want to periodically look at it to see if it is still capturing data.
Once the data has hit the limit and stopped (you can see that the packet count at the bottom of the application will stop growing when you load new pages), save the data.
To do this, click File | Save As, and save the file as "whatever_you_want.pcap". Then, contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will give you instructions for delivering me the data via SSH or your delivery method of choice.
7. FINALLY, remember to turn encryption and compression back on:
a) Preferences | Advanced | Encryption -- enable SSL and TLS
b) Enter "about:config" in the address bar, search for encoding, and right click on "network.http.accept-encoding" and select "Reset" -- or double click and enter whatever you wrote down previously.
Thank you! Your help will hopefully help make computers more efficient someday, and it will definitely make a tangible contribution towards me graduating!

Many rural Mississippi hospitals operate on thin financial margins dependent in substantial measure on the reimbursement rate from federal programs like Medicaid and Medicare.
U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., has raised payment issues for a category of medical centers called Critical Access Hospitals operating 24/7 emergency rooms.
Cochran raised the issue because the payment rate could be reduced under President Obama's budget – which has been proposed but not approved – for 2014 and in relation to implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
Cochran, who is serving his sixth term and is at or near the top of seniority on most committees and subcommittees of which he is a member, raised the issue last week during a Senate Labor, Health and Human Services and Education Appropriations Subcommittee hearing on Wednesday.
He specifically cited Obama proposals to reduce Medicare support for Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) with HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who testified.
Mississippi has 32 CAH category hospitals, including Pontotoc, Aberdeen and Calhoun City.
Cochran correctly noted that rural hospitals in Mississippi are "anxious about the proposed health care changes incorporated into the President's FY2014 budget, as well as the full implementation of the Affordable Care Act in 2014," as cited in a release from his Washington office.
The Mississippi Hospital Association, other members of the Washington delegation and state officials are aware of the concerns.
"We have a large number of poor people living in many Southern states … They are worried now, though, about how these budget reductions … might affect them in an adverse way," Cochran said.
Obama's budget calls for reducing reimbursement from 101 percent of "reasonable costs" to 100 percent.
In the rural hospital business 1 percent can mean the difference between service or no service, or even survival.
Letters of support for adequate rural hospital payment from Medicare can be sent to Secretary Sebelius at U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 200 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20201.

TUPELO – A simple, straight-forward message sometimes is all you need to sell a product.
Or at least elevate brand recognition.
Like millions of others watching Sunday's Super Bowl, television advertising and marketing experts also critiqued the multi-million-dollar ads.
Cars, trucks, horses, tacos, chips, cookies, candy and movies all were pushed to varying degrees of success.
Tom Robinson of Robinson and Associates and Josh Mabus of the Mabus Agency both came to the same conclusion most everyone else in America did: Ram's salute to farmers featuring broadcaster Paul Harvey's "So God Made a Farmer" address was a smash hit.
"It was a terrific spot. … It resonated well and it wasn't difficult to watch," said Robinson. "The whole family could watch it."
Mabus said Harvey's words, backed up by strong visuals from still photography made for a perfect combination. The ad struck a chord, and consumers will respond, he predicted
"The Ram truck is the last thing you see in that commercial, and I'm betting you'll see sales pick up this month," he said.
Chrysler – the parent company of Ram as well as Jeep, which featured a salute to troops with Oprah Winfrey reading a letter – continued a trend it started three years ago with its long-format ads lasting two minutes.
For the most part, however, the two ad agency execs didn't think this year's crop of Super Bowl commercials was all that memorable.
Sure, the Taco Bell, Doritos and Oreo's ads were entertaining, but were they as good as past efforts?
"I think there were more feel-good, more family-oriented, more reality-based … " Robinson said.
Anheuser-Busch's ad featuring a baby Clydesdale growing up and reuniting with his trainer pulled many heartstrings.
Robinson liked it as well, but Mabus said it was too much of a stretch to believe.
The two did agree the GoDaddy ad featuring a kiss between a supermodel and a nerd to illustrate the company's "sexy" and "smart" combination was off the mark.
"It was bad," Robinson said.
"I don't even get what they're trying to do," Mabus said. "Maybe the CEO of the company has some vanity association with the Super Bowl."
Certainly, the ad generated buzz, though not necessarily positive.
"Just because people are talking about it doesn't mean they're buying it," Mabus added.
Robinson also said some of the messages were lost in some of the advertising. If viewers remember everything about the ad except the product itself, then you have to question the wisdom behind the effort.
And with 30-second spots costing as much as $4 million, that's a costly mistake to make.

Updated on 20 November 2012
New Zealand health committee suggests ways to help the choking clinical trials sector
New Zealand's Health Committee submitted a 62-page report to New Zealand's Parliament making necessary recommendations to improve the existing clinical trials industry. The committee made 54 recommendations, comprising eight key recommendations and 46 detailed recommendations.
The report, titled 'Inquiry into improving New Zealand's environment to support innovation through clinical trials', made detailed recommendations so as to strengthen the clinical trials industry, which has a lot of potential.
Dr Paul Hutchison, chair, Health Select Committee, said the inquiry was initiated "because of concerns that New Zealand had lost its advantage as a good place to carry out clinical trials". "Most submissions we received backed up this view and called for improvement. The main elements of the system can be put right at almost no cost, and we believe the returns for New Zealand patients, the health service, and the economy will be significant," he said.
The eight key suggestions made in the report were:
1) The government should implement the recommendations of the report in order to achieve internationally competitive ethical review processes, holding patients' safety paramount; a simple process for the ethical and scientific review of single and multi-centre trials; and internationally cost-competitive services. This was led by the Ministry of Health, and has been completed.
2) The government monitor, as a performance measure, the time taken by Health and Disability Ethics Committees to process applications. The committees should process expedited reviews within 30 calendar days and other applications within 45 calendar days.
