If you are able to see the eyes of the man in the dream is «clean» information, but usually it freezes at the first sensation of such «chemicals» (in fact a very strong sense), but in General, if you realize this point yourself, you can be the person, which in the dream in his eyes, to ask any questions and know all. Even better to say — not ask, but mentally formulate. That's just the speed of information transfer greatly increases at this point, it is difficult to maintain communication and flow.
But about you, I said, because previously, as you asked, I looked in her sleep on you. View your photo in Google, you are there to remove the top down, and I get all the time (already on the machine) from this angle you look, and in the astral too. If there was such a corner position in a dream, I mean. I have a habit in life, and as a result, in a dream. I carefully look in the eyes, if you talk with the person. Even if not immediately understand everything that I had, and then «inspect.» In any case, in communication here and there, I'm very discreet. Shouldn't you have cause discomfort.
And try to work out, to look the look of a man from a dream. Let the dreams there are any, on any affirmations (as you go on your schedule). This is an important element of the practice, if «take» of the human eye, can he their thoughts to share (you know what I mean?). DOP.the job, so to speak…
Hello! Advise how to discern whether affirmation.
Did affirmation the Look in his eyes, the question was directed at the man (if he wants to see me, does she remember me, we broke up ugly nekskolko years ago ). But I had a very strange dream: in my dream me «nailed» girl, age 8-10, really cute, with long brown hair gathered in a ponytail, and bright radiant blue-grey eyes (similar, but not the color that men). Here in these eyes girl I'm all sleep and watched . Just so happened that I admired her, I liked her, nice kid. The girl, obviously lost, left without parents, and I took care of her, she directly began some warm relationships, she felt my defense, and I thought of her as my child care. Her appearance was like the appearance of my children, absolutely unfamiliar face. We were in a big city, a bright warm summer day, went into some room, and remember next to a tall man in a suit. Identify failed, a second plan was, background. But constantly hanging out with us.
In General, there is no direct answer to your question in the dream I got . But such a pretty girl! Right woke up this morning with tenderness in my heart!
Affirmation does not work???
Thanks to everyone who helped.

This girl — is your relationship with him. Look, in the dream of Magikoopa says:
…Other people's children in dreams are often symbols that prototypes, which can symbolically reflect their native, that is, to characterize certain types of relationships their own way. For example, if you had a friend girl you know that she is the winner of the contest, and in your dream she's friends with your grandson, we can say that now your child catch up in school. Or sturdy little girlfriend in dreams will be in your bed, while in reality you are at this moment is sick, sleep is to recovery.
I gave a very generalized examples, the options are great in number, but I think the General meaning is clear, and the analogy to understanding the dreams you will be able to apply.
If you dream you know that child is yours, though in life there is no such, then the dream indicates your (only!) business, project, undertaking. If you dream you know that child is yours and someone else's (that is for men — and your women, and for women and your a man), the dream points to a connection or relationship with your partner.
In this dream everything that happens to a child, the reality will happen in a relationship…
the answer that you were looking at the girl — it is your feelings and his reaction girls on you, her behavior and attitude towards you. Everything on the sensations, it was possible of course and talk…but you were apparently not ready. To know in advance.

May 14 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending unsustainable, warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries.
We cant keep on just borrowing from China, Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our childrens future with more and more debt.
Holders of U.S. debt will eventually get tired of buying it, causing interest rates on everything from auto loans to home mortgages to increase, Obama said. It will have a dampening effect on our economy.
Earlier this week, the Obama administration revised its own budget estimates and raised the projected deficit for this year to a record $1.84 trillion, up 5 percent from the February estimate. The revision for the 2010 fiscal year estimated the deficit at $1.26 trillion, up 7.4 percent from the February figure. The White House Office of Management and Budget also projected next years budget will end up at $3.59 trillion, compared with the $3.55 trillion it estimated previously.
Two weeks ago, the president proposed $17 billion in budget cuts, with plans to eliminate or reduce 121 federal programs. Republicans ridiculed the amount, saying that it represented one-half of 1 percent of the entire budget. They noted that Obama is seeking an $81 billion increase in other spending
Is This the same guy who took office in Jan. Or have they replaced him.

Chapter 14: The Behavior of Gases
Brightly colored hot air balloons take flight. How do they work? Air is a mixture of many gases, primarily nitrogen and oxygen. When any gas is heated, its molecules gain kinetic energy and push harder against the inside walls of their container. The density of the gas also decreases because of the spreading out of the gas molecules. The hot air balloon expands and the heated air causes it to rise since the hot air is less dense than the cooler air outside the balloon. While in flight, the balloon operator keeps the air in the balloon hot by occasionally blasting the air with a large burner. In this chapter, you will learn all about the properties of gases and the mathematical relationships between the pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of a gas.

I still had no time to test the lcd with the given code by myself. The diodes are just for lowering the voltage (each diode burns 0,7 V) since that LCD is usually powered with 3,3V. I don't know if it works with 5 volt, too. If so, it should also work without any resistors.
don't use the diodes... they're not reliable .. I think I burned one of those once using exactly that technique.use a proper 3.3v regulatorlike an lm3940 or something (good capacitor required with this part, read the datasheet)

On February 1, 1960, four black teens sat down at a "whites-only" Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, Ezell Blair Jr. and David Richmond wanted much more than the coffee and donuts the waitress refused to serve them. Their goal was to stop the unfair treatment of blacks at that lunch counter and many other places in the United States.
The "Greensboro Four," along with friends and supporters, continued to return to the lunch counter every day. After six months, the students were finally served.
Peaceful Protesters
By 1960, it had been six years since a Supreme Court decision had made school segregation, or the separation of white and black students, illegal. Still, in many parts of the country, little had changed. In the South, many restaurants, hospitals and parks remained segregated.
"Segregation was an evil kind of thing that needed attention," says McNeil. Like Martin Luther King, Jr., the Greensboro teens believed in bringing about change through nonviolent protest. News of the peaceful sit-in quickly spread and inspired others to get involved. Within two months, sit-ins were occurring in 54 cities in nine states.
Eventually, these demonstrations helped put pressure on lawmakers to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The law guarantees equal rights for black Americans in employment, voting and the use of public facilities. "Greensboro . . . turned the history of America around," says Bill Chafe, a historian at Duke University.
Holding on to History
On Monday, the International Civil Rights Center & Museum opened in the very building where the sit-ins began. Museum visitors can watch a film on the sit-in story and can even get a glimpse of the famous stools and counter where the Greensboro Four first sat 50 years ago.
"It is appropriate that we mark this historic anniversary with the landmark grand opening of the International Civil Rights Center and Museum," said Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez. "We need this civil rights museum so that we remember our history."

The bold statement is also false.....great receivers excel everywhere. Example Brandon Marshall. You telling me Megatron is not Megatron on some other team? Welker is not good enough to be a number 1. Plain and simple, Welker is a good slot receiver who will excel when put in the RIGHT system.
I would rather have Ted Ginn Jr back than Welker.
And for the record, in my humble opinion at least, if Bess was in New England, he would be twice the player Welker is.
He would become the option route king.
Regardless, I don't see how Welker does anything to help us.
After seeing his last 2 playoff games, he has definitely fallen off a bit imho.
Let the chump go, time to look to the future.
Eh .... I'm not excited about the idea. He's starting to wear down. Better to go with the younger pups.
We **** on ourselves with the Welker deal. Our team was being run by a bunch of dumbasses and ON TOP of that we got TWO picks for him. Pretty awesome seeing as we got the kid for a bag of Doritos. We then proceeded to crap all over those two picks and get NOTHING out of those selections.(Samson Satele and Abraham "something"- i think those were the two). The player HAD skills, and we failed to get someone worth a damn to capitlize on those skills. I don't hate the guy for wanting to go somewhere else- hell sometimes back then i wished i pulled for another team.
BUT i think he is older now and surely not worth 10mil/year.
Seriously though don't hate on a guy for not liking the way our team was run when we all hated the way it was being run too.

Software agents and robots are becoming increasingly part of human lives. For example, mobile sensors are being deployed for a variety of military and civilian applications. These robots are for the most part teleoperated. We envision a future where large numbers of networked humans and robots will be working together for numerous applications ranging from manufacturing to environment exploration, crisis response and search and rescue. These multi-robot systems will be coordinating autonomously, and in many cases will be interacting with humans in a variety of interactions. I am interested in both (a) Developing algorithms and techniques for Autonomous Multi-Robot Coordination, and (b) developing a variety of techniques for Human Single- and Multi-Robot Interactions.

Looong dead thread here and I'm a bit surprised.
We had a nice little dicussion going at swc and I know Serenity has/had a semi-decent thread here.
Looking at my old posts, I can still agree with many of my comments about Serenity (seeing as I hadn't seen Firefly beforehand). That being said, I am a total convert to the Firefly universe.
Anyway, for those that want Firefly and haven't picked it up, Target has it on sale this week for an awesome $18!

F/G to Carroll St. or R to Union
An evening of health care activism based around a character-driven documentary, going inside a hospital struggling to care for a community of uninsured patients as they cope with disease, bureaucracy and hard choices.
The Waiting Room (Peter Nicks | USA | 80 min.)
The American medical system is in tatters, and political arguments often overlook the most fundamental element: human beings' health. Director Peter Nicks knew the problems would be most evident, the drama most poignant, in one place: a low-income, urgent care waiting room. This elegantly crafted documentary has an intimate approach that reveals the myriad systematic failures in a way that is compelling and personal. You can't watch The Waiting Room and still ignore the call for change. Working with The Fledging Fund, the Center for Health Media Policy, and the film's own interactive website, Rooftop Films is pleased to present this event committed to positive health care activism.
Opponents of federal health care would have us believe that hospital workers are incompetent, callous bureaucrats, that patients are lazy freeloaders—but that's clearly not the case. The doctors make heroic efforts with limited resources, displaying remarkable bedside manners. The staff stand up for their most destitute constituents. The patients suffer and struggle, carrying burdens that could befall anyone. One man with a bullet lodged in his leg waits for hours, praying not that his pain is taken away, but his anger.
Nicks uses carefully interwoven voice-overs to provide context, while the film absorbs you in the action: the intensity of a doctor on his first day dealing with a deadly accident; the complexity of the staff negotiating the churn of beds overflowing into hallways; the unlikely humor of a nurse who consistently entertains and keeps everyone sane. As stressful as the situation is, for the viewer it's wondrous to watch remarkable people acting nobly. The Waiting Room is an astonishing work of cinema that America needs to see, a clear expression of the dire problems and the hopeful possibilities.
- Mark Elijah Rosenberg
Cat Martino
"The New York native has previously appeared as a member of Sufjan Stevens' and Sharon Van Etten's bands, but is poised to release a sophomore album next year that has the potential to make her a star in her own right. Full of gorgeous, overlapping vocal loops, the album is a beautifully melodic piece of art dressed up for 2012. Harps, thick bass beats, electric guitar, tambourine and swirly, skittering synth lines — it's all here. Even over this lush, enveloping backdrop, Martino's resonant voice is always the undeniable centerpiece." – NPR
"Yr Not Alone, is chock-full of lushly layered vocals, swaying melodies, folk influences (and maybe some fairy dust?), and we can't get enough… With electronic cameos and a soulful vibe, these eclectic elements come together for a sound that seems strangely familiar- but at the same time, it's totally fresh." –Nylon mag
To listen is to be shrouded in melody: feathering beats and synthy instrumental swells undulate beneath Cat's mesmerzing vocals… Replay until this storm, or any other, has passed. -RCRD LBL

Obama will take care of them from their rent , gas, food, healthcare they have it made. He sure didnt create jobs with 800,000 women out of work yet they have a house car food cell phone gas.
Ok Blackstone, here is a more in-depth study taken during the last election of 12 Obama voters.
Bill Davis
I personally know people that have lost their jobs, looked for a year and cant get one and wont take the type of job they could get. Now that the Pres said no problem we will take care of you, they have given up even looking for a job they will get by on the Gov't. Why work? When my dad had to take unemployment to him it was shameful, its not like that anymore. He was an Executive that took a job delievering newspapers just so he could work. Look at the stats of people on welfare food stamps now They can take a min wage job in fast food or sit home and get their check in the mail doesnt take a rocket scientist to know which one they will chose, only because they can Obama has made it that easy. The law was if your on unemployment you need to actively look for work now they dont have to just get the check. There are good people out there that under this admin have lost their jobs, homes and need help and thats what the system is in place for .. Its the ones that now dont have to work dont even look for work and we will take care of you that I have a problem with.
Obama has done to the US just what he set out to do, and this is just the start. When he isnt facing re election he will do say anything he has nothing to lose.
Anyway, sorry this is getting off the topic of Crazy Joe Biden just keep him locked up. He's a joke

OMAHA, Neb. | It hasn't been an easy year for Trey Porter.
He had hernia surgery. Then he had an eye infection, and a pulled muscle. Coach John Cohen said that three times this season, Porter was in the starting lineup but couldn't go because he was vomiting in the locker room. After starting 59 games last year – 50 as the designated hitter – Porter saw his role shrink this season as a senior. Health was one reason, better depth was another.
He started nine games at four different fielding positions last year as a juco transfer, but all 22 of his starts this year have been at DH. After batting .259 with five home runs a year ago, Porter is hitting .255 with one homer this season. He's seen limited action this postseason, playing in three of MSU's eight NCAA tournament games – all coming off the bench.
Porter, as you likely know by now, was a hero off the bench in Monday night's 5-4 comeback win over Indiana in a College World Series winner's bracket game. His two-run single in the eighth inning broke a 3-3 tie and put MSU (50-18) within one game of the championship series. The Bulldogs play Friday at 2 p.m. versus the winner of Wednesday's Indiana-Oregon State elimination game.
Porter entered the game in the sixth in place of right-handed hitting Derrick Armstrong, because earlier in the inning Indiana had just pulled left-handed starting pitcher Will Coursen-Carr in favor of righty Ryan Halstead. With the bases loaded and two outs, Porter drove a pitch deep to right field that was caught, and the Hoosiers maintained a 3-2 lead.
When Porter came up again in the eighth, another lefty was on the mound, Brian Korte. MSU had just tied the game and had runners at second and third with two outs. With Porter being a lefty, Cohen could have opted for a right-handed bat, but he liked his chances with Porter.
"I was going to use either him or Sam (Frost) in that situation," Cohen said – Frost is a lefty, too. "Sam has really been swinging the bat well, but I just felt like Porter had been taking such good swings in BP and just was in a great rhythm. That's what I'm going off of, is just the rhythm they're creating in the box and in their preparation, and I thought he had good rhythm."
Porter got ahead in the count 2-0.
"Usually if I'm seeing a new guy, I'm going to try to take a couple of pitches and see what he has," Porter said. "It really helps, him throwing a ball the first pitch. I see what his fastball looks like, and then he comes back with another one away."
He was looking for a 2-0 fastball to drive, but Korte fooled him and got him to chase a slider way outside. Another ball made it 3-1, and Porter was cautiously optimistic he'd get a fastball.
"A 3-1 count, I knew (Adam) Frazier was behind me, so that kind of helped me. They didn't want to get to Frazier with two outs, bases loaded, and he's probably going to come through in that situation."
Frazier, MSU's leadoff man, has been tearing it up this postseason, batting .417. Porter got the fastball he was looking for, over the outer half of the plate, and smoked it into right-center to score two runs. It was easily the biggest hit of his career.
"I guess when I touched first, I realized the magnitude of how (big) it was," Porter said.
This MSU team has been defined by players willing to play whatever role is required of them, and Porter embodies that, according to Cohen. Even when he wasn't able to play, Porter was still tuned in to the games along with the rest of the "Bench Mob," and he kept working in practice.
"He does what you expect a senior to do, to wait for his turn, and just wants to be part of something special," Cohen said. "It's so easy to sit there if you're the wrong personality and say, hey man, why me? But he's not that guy. He's selfless, he wants our team to win, and that's the great thing about this club."
Porter isn't completely healthy, as he still battles that eye infection. So that has made it difficult for Cohen to know just when he can use Porter. Obviously, he made the right call Monday.
"It's been difficult, but nobody's worked harder than that young man, and he deserves to have these types of moments."

I am one heck of a stalker. Maybe some day I will show you how a truly versatile hunter hunts and how a stalk is put on if your man enough to try something different and not be so egocentric.
Talk about egocentric.
I learned to stalk them from a local native american friend, never be seen and carefully pick your point of attacks. His ancestors taught him how to stalk turkey and deer and take each with a bow every year with this very method, but you wouldn't have respect for that would you guys.
If only you knew how much repsect I have for the Native American. Those days were a lot different for hunting then today. For one thing the amount of hunters in the woods with guns today.
Then again, how would you know, you have your heads in the sand just calling all the time, never listening to anyone else's approach to the game including stalking, dog hunts or the like. Stubborn and ignorant to the fact that there is more than one way to skin a cat in this world.
Can't speak for anyone else, I am all ears when it comes to different styles and methods of hunting. Even tried a few, except stalking, trying to stay within the threads contexts. And to me is very dangerous today, especially when I have turned around from a setup and was looking down the barrel of a shotgun 2 times, once public and private ground, yea one was PA. Know 2 folks shot by someone stalking turkeys (neither were seriosly injured, but one does not even hunt anymore) both times the excusses were I heard a bird and thought I could sneak up on it, not trying to get around on it and set up. Those are enough stubborn and ignorant reasons I need.
No wonder folks are leaving this forum left and right for other more pleasant company. You give this site a foul stench and critisize folks at every corner. I would throw your behinds out of my camp the first night you would pull remarks like this. I'm guessing either one of you have very little friends in any. And if you did, I would bet my best rifle they would wait until you are out of earshot to tell me how they really feel about you. I have had about enough of your destructive criticism here and I'm quite sure I'm not the only one.
I have never been thrown out of a camp for my opinion but I guess there will always be the first time. And then you say about friends making statements behind someones back when they are not there, I am sure that is never the case with you and your friends. My friends and I are man or woman enough to tell each other to their faces. Honesty and integrity go a long ways with me and other folks I know. Same as I respect your opinions on here, no matter how they are directed.

After 9/11, there was a prevailing sentiment that nothing was funny. Humor seemed meaningless: Many comedians thought, "Why am I telling jokes about x, y, and z when THIS just happened." And many were of the opinion that this was the way it was going to be from then on– that humor has lost its place in our world, that we needed it less because 9/11 made us a "more serious people." But some heard that, and they said "No." And you know what?
They were right. More

typical Israel comes first before America
s the love for Israel a partisan thing?
The disgusting is the fact that because Hagel once described the Israel lobby as the "Jewish lobby" (it also contains some Christians). And because he has rather bluntly stated that his job as a U.S. senator was not to take orders from the Israel lobby but to advance U.S. interests, he is smeared as an Israel-hater at best and an anti-Semite at worst. If ever Israel needed a U.S. defense secretary who was committed to Israel's survival, as Hagel has repeatedly stated — but who was convinced that ensuring that survival didn't mean having America go along with Israel's self-destructive drift into settling the West Bank and obviating a two-state solution — it is now.
It's really at this point about Obama more than Hagel, his backbone, his readiness to fight when he meets opposition. A replay of the Chas Freeman debacle of the last administration on a far larger scale would signal that Obama will likely capitulate to Netanyahu in his second term, much as he did in the first. The President is in danger of becoming known as a figure who won't put up a fight when facing opposition, someone who hoards political capital–saving it up for what is not exactly clear.
Aipac too powerful and will break his back
what can AIPAC do to him?
Ruin his 2nd term and make him a lame duck president
by eliminating his senate support in the senate with prominent zionists like with like Fienstien and Shummer (already seeing some with shummer)
I'll take Mosad & its capabilities as one of the good guys out there.

The Republican Party's disastrous showing in the 2012 election has spawned all manner of blueprints for a GOP reinvention.
But the party seems more interested in amendment than overhaul. It's budging on immigration reform and moving a bit on gay marriage. Elsewhere, though, it appears as immovable as ever.
That intransigence — or, if you like, resolve — raises a vital question on the other side of the aisle: faced with a GOP still hostile to the president — and to standard political negotiation — what is a liberal legislator to do?
Is there any use, at this point, in trying to work with the Republican Party on the big issues?
It is a particularly fraught question in the Senate, which still clings to a dying tradition of comity. But a handful of junior Democrats have surrendered any dream of the old order and acceded to the hyper partisanship of the Age of Obama.
Among the most articulate and forceful of this new breed: Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse.
When it comes to his signature issues — climate change, campaign finance reform, tax fairness — he makes little secret of his approach: marshal the facts, hammer the Republicans, and embarrass them into action.
It is, for Whitehouse's liberal supporters, an effort of undeniable appeal: here is a Democrat going on the offensive, taking it to a GOP that so often seems the aggressor.
But is it the best course? The only course? And most important: can it work?
Whitehouse did not present as an ideologue in his early career as a US Attorney and Attorney General. His job was law enforcement, then, not political duel.
But when he ran for the Senate in 2006, partisanship was running hot in this country. Blue states like Rhode Island had come to detest the Bush Administration. And Whitehouse was able to turn that enmity against his popular, moderate opponent: Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee.
A vote for Chafee, he argued, was a vote for GOP control of the Senate.
In his early days in Washington, Whitehouse was involved in his share of partisan skirmishes. As a former prosecutor, Whitehouse proved a particularly useful critic of Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, who was embroiled in controversies on warrantless wiretapping and what looked like the politically motivated dismissal of several US Attorneys.
But it was the election of President Obama, and the GOP's response to that election, that launched the senator on his current trajectory.
"We began to see this absolutely relentless Republican obstruction that, it became more and more clear, was actually a strategy," Whitehouse says, a strategy that "was going to be applied to everything the president tried to do, no matter how much he tried to compromise."
The Republican Party's single-minded pursuit, as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell would later acknowledge, was to make Obama a one-term president. Whitehouse says he and some of his Senate colleagues recognized this reality before the Oval Office did.

Parathyroid hyperplasia is the enlargement of all four parathyroid glands. The parathyroid glands are glands in the neck that produce parathyroid hormone (PTH).
Parathyroid hyperplasia may occur in people without a family history of the disease, or as part of three inherited syndromes:
In people with an inherited syndrome, a changed (mutated) gene is passed down through the family. You only need to get the gene from one parent to develop the condition.
Symptoms may include:
Blood tests will be done to check calcium,
Bone x-rays and a bone density test (DXA) can help detect fractures, bone loss, and bone softening.
Surgery is the preferred treatment. Usually 3 1/2 glands are removed. The remaining tissue may be implanted in the forearm so a doctor can easily operate on it if symptoms come back. This tissue will also help the body control calcium levels.
Increased calcium levels persist or return about 20% of the time after surgery.
Parathyroid hyperplasia can cause hyperparathyroidism, which leads to an increase in blood calcium levels.
Complications include
Patients may also have complications from the other tumors that are part of the multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes. See also:
Call your health care provider if:
Patients with a family history of the MEN syndromes may want to have genetic screening to check for the defective gene. Those who have the defective gene may have routine screening tests to detect any early symptoms.

MOST now say NO!!
From Politics Daily by Bruce Drake
"For First Time Under Obama, Majority Says U.S. Is on Wrong Track
Posted: 10/27/09Filed Underemocrats, Republicans, Barack Obama, Economy, Health Care, Polls, Foreign Policy, Obama Administration, Afghanistan, Poll Watch 440 Comments + Join the discussion »TEXT SIZE:AAAPRINT SHARE While the stock market has picked up and the country appears to be pulling out of the recession, a majority of Americans - for the first time in the Obama presidency - says the U.S. is headed down the wrong track, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll conducted Oct. 22-25.
Fifty-two percent say the country is on the wrong track compared to 36 percent who say it is headed in the right direction with 9 percent saying conditions are mixed and 3 percent undecided. While there have been pluralities saying the U.S. is on the wrong track in four of the previous five WSJ/NBC polls during Obama's presidency, this is the first time the number broke 50 percent. The one month where that was not true was April when 43 percent said things were on the right track and an equal number said they were going in the opposite direction.
President Obama's job approval rating stands at 51 percent, the same number it had been during the previous two months.
But the approval ratio for his handling of the economy has dipped from 51 in September to 47 percent in October. Forty-nine percent are very dissatisfied with the state of the economy and another 31 percent are somewhat dissatisfied. Seventeen percent are somewhat satisfied and only 2 percent are very satisfied.
Fifty-eight percent say there is "still a ways to go" before the economy hits bottom, while 29 percent believe the economy has bottomed out. But a plurality - 42 percent - believe things will get better in the next 12 months compared to 33 percent who say they will stay the same and 22 percent who predict things will be worse. Sixty-three percent believe that current conditions are due to factors Obama inherited while 20 percent say he is responsible for them.
Sixty-four percent don't see the improvement in the stock market as real evidence the economy is improving.
Ironically, given questions about his experience on foreign affairs during the presidential campaign, the public approves of his handling of this area by 51 percent to 39 percent with 10 percent undecided.
Sixty-five percent disapprove of the job Congress is doing compared to 24 percent who approve with 11 percent undecided. Fifty-six percent have a very or somewhat positive view of Obama (this is a different metric than job approval) while 33 percent are in the negative camp. Americans see the Democratic Party positively by a 42 percent to 36 percent margin with 20 percent declaring themselves neutral, while the Republican Party is regarded negatively by 46 percent to 25 percent with 27 percent being neutral. Fourteen percent see the Democrats "very positively" while only 6 say the same about the GOP.
Fifty-seven percent say the partisan atmosphere in Washington is equally the fault of both parties while 24 percent blame the Republicans and 17 percent finger the Democrats. The numbers are about the same for the public's view of partisan wrangling on health care.
Overall, Americans say by 46 percent to 38 percent that they want Congress to still be in Democratic hands after next year's elections. Sixteen percent are undecided. Forty-nine percent say, that in their own districts, they'd like to see a new face, while 41 percent say their representative deserves to be elected. But those findings need to be taken with a grain of salt given the re-election rate for incumbents.
On health care, 42 percent say the reform plan Obama is pushing is a bad idea, 38 percent say it's a good idea and 16 percent have no opinion, with another 4 percent unsure. That's about the same as last month. But even though a plurality of those polled believe the cost of their health care will go up under an overhaul of the system, 45 percent say it is better to pass his plan compared to 39 percent who disagree.
Forty-eight percent disapprove Obama's handling of the health care issue while 43 percent approve with 9 percent undecided, a ratio that has grown more negative since last month. But Republicans can take no solace in that because 64 percent disapprove of their performance on the issue compared to 23 percent who approve and 13 percent who are undecided. Those are about the same numbers that the poll found last month.
On Afghanistan, Americans support a troop increase by 47 percent to 43 percent with 10 percent undecided. Last month, they opposed it by 51 percent to 44 percent with 5 percent undecided.
However, when asked about specifics about increasing the number of troops, Americans oppose by 49 percent to 43 percent sending as many as 40,000 additional soldiers as requested by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top commander in Afghanistan. If the number of troops was 10,000, 55 percent would support the increase compared to 36 percent who would find it unacceptable. The public divides at 45 percent each on the option of withdrawing nearly all troops and using Predator drones and special forces to attack al Qaeda camps.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Got You Covered
Man, if you find good cover in Texas, you'd better make use of it.
We had, and we did. In fact, my buddy had found and doctored a cedar grove to such an extent that it seemed better and more comfortable than a portable blind. And it was near the intersection of two ranch roads that led to roost sites -- a perfect shady ambush spot for a hot Lone Star evening.
However, you experienced turkey hunters know that good cover also holds some drawbacks. Sure, if you're ultra-concealed, a turkey can't see you. But you can have trouble seeing and shooting the turkey.
And that's just what happened. About an hour into our hunt, two smoking-hot longbeards responded to my calling and minced slow steps toward our decoys. They came up through a small creek bed, and before I knew it, they were 25 steps away. Perfect, right? Nope. The maze of cedar branches in front of my barrel prevented me from shooting. Within seconds, the gobblers were about five steps away -- still mostly concealed by cedars.
Of course, they weren't going to stick around forever, and there was no guarantee they'd walk off in a direction that would give me a clear shot. If I made a quick move, I'd probably still have plenty of time to shoot one of the spooked longbeards. But if I remained patient, they might give me an open shot at a more desirable range.
Suddenly, the cedars didn't feel as comfortable.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

A Web report of an April 5 lecture by Palestinian activist Edward Said referred incorrectly to his response to allegations that there were inconsistencies in his account of his background. Said has maintained that his account is accurate, and he made no changes to his autobiography, "Out of Place." The allegations, made in the media by Saids critics, appeared around the time his book was published in 1999.

Back from a week at summer camp. The event of the year when everything comes together, a time to practice the patrol method. To live as a patrol, hanging out with friends, testing skills, learning new ones and just plain having fun.
Our week at Camp Pigott was no exception. 28 Scouts ventured 4 hours north to a great little camp in the Chief Seattle Council. We have never been there before and so the buzz for the trip was electric.
The message of the week was to create memories. Our mantra "Memories.. not merit badges" became our theme for the week and the Scouts of Troop 664 lived up to it. Our feeling was that the Scouting experience should be all about memories not that merit badges are not important, the memories would lead to advancement and merit badges. That too proved to be true.
28 Scouts hiked into camp.. 28 Scouts marched out of camp with memories and experiences that they will not soon forget.
For some it was the first time they ever spent a week away from home without their parents. For some it was the first time they shot a rifle, a bow, or threw a tomahawk. For some it was the first time they shot a shot gun. For some of the Scouts it was the first time they cooked over an open fire, swam in a lake, rowed a boat, swamped a canoe, swam a mile, or negotiated a C.O.P.E course. It was all about memories.
First year Scouts learned tools that will last a life time. Older Scouts developed leadership and had opportunities to try new skills and adventures. All in all it was a camp that gave us everything we were looking for.
Tuesday night our troop was invited to a "Friendship Campfire" from another Troop in camp. They were a troop from the local council. They were fine hosts. We sang, told jokes and riddles, and shared in a great Scouting tradition, vespers. Later in the week the troop showed it's colors by participating in the camp wide events. We won the big "Rendezvous Relay" and our reward for winning was watching their Scoutmaster get swamped in a row boat. A great time was had by all. The picture above is of the relay team that sent the Scoutmaster (me) into the middle of the lake. The event demonstrated some great team work and a willingness to push themselves for the good of the Troop. With a cheerful spirit they ran, paddled, rowed, and swam to victory.
But victory's, merit badges, awards, and miles swam can be summed up in memories. Reflecting back on our week at summer camp I can say that if memories were points, we won by a land slide.
The Scouts of Troop 664 made me proud.
There are so many memories that it would take a blog in and of itself to document them all… and that is what I call a great week at summer camp.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Today is Fathers day, ties will be given, maybe a new tool or handy gadget, a gift hand made by loving hands. Today we honor our fathers. Have a BBQ and be nice to dear old dad.
I tend to look at fathers day this year from the prospective of the father.
While niceties are being exchanged and gifts given, I am thankful to be a dad. I can think of no greater responsibility on this planet than the one given to me on November 15th 1993, the day I became the father of twins.
Everything in life changes when you become a dad, I will say for the record, everything gets better. Yeah, there are challenges along the way. There are hardships to endure, emotions to deal with, and burdens to bear, all a part of being a dad. At some point you ask yourself am I good enough? Do I possess what it takes to be a good teacher, role model, provider? You look into the eyes of your little boy and wonder if one day he will be a great man. What beauty you hold in your arms when your daughter looks up at you and smiles. Comfort.
And then before you know it, they are teen agers and you ask yourself again, do I have what it takes to get this young man through high school and into life? Have I done everything that I can to prepare this young lady to be proper. Is this young man going to do great things?
Today, I am proud to be a dad, I would not trade it for all the money on earth. While there are challenges and obstacles that fatherhood throws your way, it all comes down to the love you have for those kids and the love that is returned, especially on fathers day.
God Bless all of you Dad's out there that are doing it right. You know who you are.
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs (ch. XXII, v. 6)
Happy Fathers Day!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

I thought you righties might be ready for some good news---
The president's approval rating returns to the 50s, but challenges remain, according to the latest poll
WASHINGTON — What a difference a few weeks can make.
Last month, Republicans were celebrating their midterm victories; Democrats were licking their electoral wounds; and President Barack Obama's approval rating was stuck in the mid-'40s.
But after a five-week stretch that included bipartisan legislative achievements in the lame-duck session of Congress, mostly positive economic news and Obama's well-received speech honoring the victims of the tragic shootings in Arizona, the political world has taken an abrupt turn in direction.
According to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, Obama's approval rating has surged above 50 percent; confidence in the economy also has spiked; and the Democratic Party — but not the GOP — now enjoys a net-positive rating from the American public

Article tools
LF: Where were you before UTSA, and what are you working on here?
CH: I've got four college degrees. I did my undergraduate work in Canada -- I'm Canadian -- soon to be American, hopefully. I did my undergraduate in Canada in aerospace engineering, then I went to MIT to do my graduate work, and I did a master's in aerospace and another master's in technology and policy.
I took an academic position at MIT for a few years, then my Ph.D. in technology management policy, really looking at the aerospace industry in the U.S. and how you apply Toyota-style thinking... How to structure, how to operate, how to run your company. So that was very interesting. I worked for Northrop Grumman for a while, applying what I had developed in my Ph.D. to their corporate activities. And then to one of their suppliers as a program manager on the Global Hawk unmanned aircraft project.
And then at that point, I had lunch with Dr. Romo here in San Antonio, and we were just talking about what was going on at UTSA, and he happened to mention that the dean of business and the dean of engineering were thinking of setting up a center for entrepreneurship. And really, that was it.
They really wanted to go from there, so I met with them, and for me it was exciting -- a start-up idea, getting things going. And I love teaching -- one of the reasons I did a Ph.D. was because I really love teaching. It was the best of all worlds: it gave me to opportunity to teach in the College of Business and the College of Engineering, and do research across both and start the center.
LF: Tell me about the center.
CH: If you look at it, most universities train their students to work for other people, but most of the wealth creation and the new job creation in the country is by the entrepreneurs -- over 60 percent of the new jobs in the country are small business or entrepreneurial businesses. What are we doing as UTSA, the fastest growing member of the UT System, to foster that and make that happen?
There's nothing wrong with going to work for someone, but I think there's a lot more people who could do a lot more good by starting their own businesses. There are so many good ideas out there. So, really, the goal for the Center for Innovation Technology and Entrepreneurship is to build a place that does four things for our students at UTSA: 1. gives them education in entrepreneurship, 2. gives them experiences, so before they put their house on the line or their mortgage, they experience entrepreneurship, 3. then, if they want to start something, they have resources -- we have a hatchery here for new businesses for students: we have space, computers, the business plan lab, 4. then once they're up and running we give what support we can, we connect them to the Institute for Economic Development, as well as other areas in town.
There's already an infrastructure in town that supports young start-up companies, but what was missing, we saw, was a pipeline. I want in 10 years to be on the cover of Fortune magazine or Forbes... "How does UTSA do it?" I want to brand UTSA as the place to go to start high-tech companies... where students get that hands-on experience.
LF: What is one of the things you have done to help students?
CH: One of the things we did as an experiment last year was we said, we've got students in engineering who spend a year designing new products. Traditionally they would design it, build it, show it, get a grade, throw it in the garbage and go off to their job. What we are doing is patenting the best ones. We'll work with those students, their names will be on the patent. What a great thing... to graduate from your undergraduate course with your first patent. And we're teaming up with business students that have to do business plans.
So, instead of doing paper studies, here they do a business plan for a new technology that just happens to be what the engineers are working on. So, it gives both sides some hands-on experience -- the business students get some hands-on with the technology, and the engineering students get to understand the questions that you really have to focus on from a business perspective.
We ran that as an experiment and we're going to extend that this year to the first technology start-up competition on campus, where we're teaming up the B.B.A. in entrepreneurship with undergraduates in engineering, and they will do a final joint presentation of the technology and the business plan. We will patent whatever the winners have, and we will work with them to give them the opportunity to start up a company. At the end of the competition, if they're good enough, there will be people on the judging panel who will be able to write a check or be able to say, "Here's the money that you need to start this company and we'll start it." We'll spin them off into a legitimate company.
We started the center last fall, and we're now about half a year into it. We've done a lot, but we don't want to try to do everything at once. Each time we go through one of these steps, if it goes well, we formally make it part of the program. Each time we try one of these activities, we're going to look at it, see the outcome and how everyone came through it, and if it works, try to put it in place.
And so one of the things we're doing to help that is have the College of Education and Human Development study how students' minds change -- or don't change, for that matter -- as a result of these experiences. Because we want to know, does it really do anything? We're actually studying beforehand and after the fact how students' perceptions change about entrepreneurship and technology entrepreneurship. Are they predisposed? We have some preliminary data that shows how the engineers feel, whether they are ready or not to start companies, versus how the business majors feel. Kind of understanding from the baseline, once they team up and work together, do things change? Are the business students afraid of technology?
Maybe they're not afraid of technology. Maybe once they learn about it, they'll be afraid of it -- I don't know. Maybe there are just open questions. We're trying to understand how we design good entrepreneurship education. People will say you're born an entrepreneur and others will say, "No, you can learn it." I'm not sure where I stand on that, but I do think we can unlock it. If it's in you, we can give experiences that will unlock that.
LF: You describe a little bit about the kinds of courses that you're teaching that bridge business and engineering and you've talked about the business side, but what other classes are you developing on the science side?
CH: Well, we're not trying to create new courses so much, because there are already a lot of interesting courses happening. We're trying to create the connections between them. So, for example, in the management of technology program they are starting to run a high-tech business course, MOT 5253, which is a great course. It walks us through the nuts and bolts of "I've got my idea," to "I've developed it," "I've patented it," "I've put together my business plan," "I've raised money."
But typically it's only been management of technology students, when it's open to the whole college. In fact, you've got a lot of graduate students in biology, a lot of graduate students in computer science and engineering -- and we're trying to get them involved so that they can take the class and use the technology that they're developing as part of their graduate work and use that as the basis for developing their business plan.
LF: How are you enjoying teaching at UTSA?
CH: I love it. It's a wonderful campus. There's a lot of research going on right now on campus. The student population is great... it's growing. I think there's a lot of good work going on between colleges. And I think that's really great to see on campuses, and I hope that as they move toward tier-one research status, they don't lose that. It's great to get collaboration across departments, across colleges. In fact, some of the neatest research, some of the neatest discoveries occur cross-discipline. And so, I hope that as they move toward tier-one people, don't become so "siloed" that they can only see their own little world, instead of the issues that exist across the different worlds.
LF: What is your favorite movie and TV show, and what hobbies do you have?
CH: My favorite TV show is "The Office," and that's because I worked in the telecommunications world for a while, and you can really see the similarities between people you've met and jobs and experiences and the show. But I also like "The Universe," the show that talks about the development of the universe. To me, that's always fascinating -- the evolution and the creation of the universe. It's mind-boggling when you think about the scale that you deal with there. So, I like that.
Favorite movie... It has to be "Star Wars." I was four years old when the first one came out, and I went to see it and ever since then I've wanted to be an astronaut. I used to race triathlons. I'm trying to get back into that. I'm training for that. I was trying to bike to work, but biking on 1604 is a bit scary. I love cooking and food... I love trying new foods, I love cooking new foods. I love traveling to find what kinds of new foods there are. Nice beaches and mountain scenery are nice fill-in between the next meal.

Day-night tests using pink balls could be part of New Zealand Cricket's regular itinerary in just over a year.
The International Cricket Council has agreed to allow series to be played in the evenings, provided both teams agree to the hours of play and type of ball used.
Work is still required to perfect the new pink ball but once that is complete and trial matches are run at Plunket Shield level, a test could be hosted against the West Indies or India in early 2014. Hamilton's Seddon Park appears the most logical venue.
NZC chief executive David White, who has worked on the day-night project as part of the ICC's Cricket Committee, says while they can't offer a deadline, it is a concept they want to implement as soon as possible.
"Day-night tests have a number of advantages for New Zealand," White says. "They potentially bring more viewers because the time difference could suit overseas markets.
Test cricket still rates incredibly well around the world and our domestic broadcasting partners have been receptive. We're discussing the possibilities of trialling it with our major associations. Nothing is fixed but it would be trialled domestically first, possibly in the Plunket Shield next season."
Day-night matches also present the chance for a larger walk-up crowd after work and for more viewers at home.
"We're conscious of maintaining test cricket's traditions as well," says White, who earned two test caps against Pakistan in 1990. "Not every test would be at night; perhaps one match per series.
"The issues we still need to address are the lasting of the ball; how dew affects it in the evening; what the vision is like for the players; and negotiating the tricky twilight period.
"The pink ball is not as well developed as it could be. Our partners Kookaburra are up to version five."
Kookaburra originally developed the pink ball for a breast cancer awareness match organised by former Australian test player Carl Rackemann five years ago. It has since taken on a life of its own.
Speaking earlier in the year, Kookaburra boss Rob Elliot said they were happy with the way the ball has evolved, especially now they've moved from green to white stitching.
"The consensus among players is that white works better against the dark background [on the latest prototype]. The wear has been more even and consistent. It's nothing different to what you'd normally experience with a red ball."
Elliot said the scuffing only seems worse on a pink ball because of the contrast with the original colour.
Cricket Australia is also considering day-night tests next summer to coincide with the Ashes. CA chief executive James Sutherland welcomed the decision, saying such fixtures allow more people to watch at the ground and on television. CA's experience from tests in Perth, effectively day-night matches for television audiences in eastern Australia, illustrated the point.
Sutherland said television ratings were about 40 per cent higher for those matches than tests played in earlier time slots during non-holiday periods.
However, not all players regard the pink ball as being "in the pink". South African batsman Alviro Petersen was involved with the first official first-class county game played at night while with Glamorgan last year, when the pink ball had to be changed four times.
"I'm sure, from a spectator point of view, it will be quite nice but I think they're still having problems with finding a suitable ball for it," Petersen said.

As a result, we have decided to rework our 3.75 figure program to create a line that is on-par with the quality and pricing of the Vintage Collection. Many of the figures intended for the Droid Factory will become available in this new line in the fall. Well be able to share more news on this at Toy Fair.
We also recognize that there were many hard-to-find Vintage Collection figures in 2012. So, as we shared last December, we will re-release many of these figures this spring before the Vintage Collection goes on hiatus, making way for some of the most exciting new initiatives for SW collectors in years.
Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm.


text: Absolutely awesome!! What a superb looking piece. The armor and chest box look great and really complete helmet. I've always loved the detailing on the back of the armor and it looks spot on. The placquard is really nice as well. This is one item I'm hoping to acquire next year, although it might be just the helmet and chestbox. So who made up the chest box and armor for you?
