JACKSON HOLE, WYO – The annual The New York Times summer music festival guide pegged Grand Teton Music Festival as a top classical festival not to miss. It was the second straight year GTMF received the distinction.
"I am genuinely excited that The New York Times has recognized our wonderful Festival as one of the best in the country for the second year in a row," said executive director Andrew Palmer Todd. "It is a well deserved acknowledgement of what music director Donald Runnicles, our musicians, and our audience have known for decades—Grand Teton Music Festival is a world-class destination for classical music."
The 2016 season was record setting for the organization, and this year's program schedule looks chocked full of concerts for all tastes.
The 2017 Festival begins Monday, July 3 and concludes on Sunday, August 20 with a special performance by Pink Martini.

Volume does not seem to be accurate. For example NFLX is trading at 100% Volume, 1 day vs last 3 months. My data feed shows the 3 month average is 16,129,000 with 6,600,000 traded as of 11:25AM. How does that make sense?
Also the avg vol given on the app is 16,400,000 so I assume they are using the 3 month avg.

State-of-the-Art Diagnostics.
To correctly diagnose an illness or injury in any pet, Conejo Valley Veterinary Hospital combines the use of advanced technology with the skilled interpretation of diagnostic results by our team of experienced veterinary professionals. Advanced training, years of experience, and a commitment to having the latest medical technology allow our doctors to diagnose and treat your pet as quickly as possible.
- Full in-hospital veterinary diagnostic laboratory
- Veterinary radiology
- Veterinary ultrasound
- Veterinary endoscopy
Veterinary Endoscopy
We have both flexible and rigid video endoscopy. Flexible endoscopy is used to evaluate the stomach, small intestine, and colon. We can often diagnosis chronic intestinal problems with taking a biopsy that is much less invasive than surgical biopsy. Also, we use the flexible endoscope for removal of foreign bodies.
Throughout the years, we have been able to remove numerous foreign bodies with the help of endoscopy, thereby preventing the need for major abdominal surgery. These foreign bodies have included jewelry, coins, rocks, and cloth material.
Rigid video endoscopy is used for many different things, including evaluating teeth in rodents, the inside of ear canals, nasal passages, urethra, and bladder.
Veterinary Ultrasound
Ultrasound is an advanced, state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging technique that is painless and non-invasive. Ultrasound is used for the abdominal cavity to obtain detailed imaging of the stomach, liver, spleen, gall bladder, kidneys, lymph nodes, adrenal gland, and urinary bladder. It is also used for pregnancy evaluations and to diagnose heart disorders and diseases of the chest.
Several of our doctors have advanced training in this field. This allows us to get an ultrasound diagnosis quicker than other veterinary practices and without the need for a referral to another hospital. This means less critical time wasted in getting a diagnosis of a life-threatening problem.
Veterinary Radiology
Conejo Valley Veterinary Hospital also offers the latest in digital X-ray technology. Digital X-rays are superior to X-ray film for many reasons:
- Instant images are produced on the computer screen, allowing quick assessment of position and correct exposure, resulting in fewer X-rays taken and exposing your pet to less radiation.
- Digital X-rays can be enhanced and magnified, allowing for diagnosis of problems that we would not normally see on traditional X-ray film.
- Digital X-rays can be sent quickly to board-certified radiologists for interpretation of difficult cases.
We also use digital dental X-rays that allow for diagnoses of dental problems hidden below the gum line. Also, digital is much faster than dental X-ray film and does not waste precious time while your pet is under anesthesia.
Full In-hospital Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory
Our laboratory is located inside our hospital, allowing for the most rapid results and a high level of professional oversight. This speed and accuracy enables us to begin the proper treatment for your pet as early as possible, without delays or guesswork.

Julie, I hope your little one is feeling better and that you all can go home soon. There is no such thing as too much info with us, we love learning more about each other. With reading, I read pretty much everything - mystery, action/thriller, romance, historical, crafty, etc. I just finished this morning Dean Koontz's novel, Odd Hours. It was really good.
With the scrapbook pages, I'd love to see yours. I've only been scrapping for about 1 1/2 years, so I still consider myself new to the world. It's so much fun though!!! Here at JM we also have a scrapbooking forum if you'd like to check that out. Scroll towards the bottom and it's down there. I get alot of inspiration from those ladies and we usually have a cyber crop each month which is alot of fun. Here's the link I posted last weekend of the pages I did for August's Cyber Crop.
August Cyber Crop Pages
and if you want to see more . . . here's the link to the pages I've uploaded of my wedding album. Sorry, I did forget to take the pages out of their protective sleeves so there is some glare.
Wedding Album
This weekend we're going to be pretty busy, but hopefully I'll get to do some scrapping. I just picked up the latest edition of Better Home & Garden Scrapbooks, etc. and I can't wait to try some of their page sketches.
Thanks Jaidynsmum for another perfect siggy!!

Following the example of ex-beau Sean "Puffy" Combs, Jennifer Lopez has launched her own clothing line, Reuters reports. "It's time for the world to wear my look," J.Lo declared to reporters Thursday. "From little to voluptuous, everybody gets to be sexy." Waxing sassy, she added: "Just because you dress sexy doesn't mean you're a bad girl it just means you know how to dress." Dubbed J.Lo by Jennifer Lopez, the glad rags should hit stores by Thanksgiving.

Pixel art
Pixel art is a style of digital art, which uses the limited resolution of monitors as stylistic device to create graphics by editing pixels with rasterization software, similar to mosaic. The concept of pixel art arose in the early 1970's, but was first used by Adele Goldberg and Robert Flega of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in 1982. Depending on limited technology of that time, early pixel art graphics were simple black and white bitmaps, and simulated different gray tones by texturing. In parallel with the evolution of computer technology, pixel artists make use of higher screen resolutions and a palette of millions of colors.
The creation of an image usually starts with outlining the line art of the subject to be drawn, similar like drawing a sketch, and could be done free-handed or by tracing over a scanned picture. Finished line arts also often get shared among artists. What makes it a unique digital art form is it's focus on precision and perfection by placing deliberate each pixel.
Lines & Curves
Since pixel art is about precision, already the line art needs care to not end with a crooked image. Mastering line art starts with learning to draw simple lines and curves.
Pixeling straight lines is easily done be putting pixels side by side, either horizontal or vertical, at the angles of 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees. The next most significant is the diagonal line at angles of 45, 135, 225, 315 degrees, which is drawn by moving pixels one vertically and also one horizontally. Diagonal lines are often used to switch the style into a 1:1 isometric perspective, and has a slope of 1/1, or simply 1. Actually, a line can be drawn in any degree if the slope is known. The common isometric perspective uses an angle of 22.5 degree, or a slope of 1/2, which means for any vertically pixel move two pixels horizontally. To avoid drawing a jagged lines it is advisable to take care all pieces of the line have the same size and slope.
File:MostCommonAngles.png 144px
Curves are more difficult to plot, and quickly look shaky if not done precisely, especially on small sizes. Just a few misplaced pixels make them look jagged. Unfortunately the curve tools of a paint program may illustrate curves badly, and therefore are usually drawn by hand. For a smooth looking curve take care all pieces of the gradient have a consistent increase or decrease. The most complex basic shape are circles, and drawing them precisely needs special care to make them look neat, and every quarter must be symmetric. Especially plotting small circles need some extra care. A good exercise to learn drawing curves and circles is by drawing hand pixeled sine waves.
Dithering is known as a a technique which uses alternating color patterns to simulate another color shade. In the earlier days of pixel art this technique was used to bypass the limited range of color in the palette. Various patterns create different effects. Beside of the use for color shading, dithering is also used for giving a surface some texture.
Anti Aliasing is a technique to smooth out edges in pixel art.

Hello everyone,
I stumbled accross this site when searching for others going through the same experience that I am, I am newly married and my wife has bipolar. First of all I would like to say that I love my wife with all my heart and soul and would give anything to help her and I will always stand by her no matter what. When we said our vowes at our wedding I meant every word. When we were dating she had told me that she was bipolar, but I had never seen her exhibit any signs of what I knew to recognize. Although after reading a thread on this site that was posted nearly a year ago I found that there are so many more things that I didnt know, as well as many others with similar experiences. Honestly it never was a problem because she had never had any episodes around me so I had no idea what to expect. We had found out that my wife was pregnant and we had to speed up our wedding. With the pregnancy my wife's horomones went a little more than haywire, which I didnt think anything of it other than it was the pregnancy making her moods change so rapidly. However after my wife gave birth to our wonderful son things took a turn. It seemed that every day my wife would be in a worse mood than the day before, there would always be something new she could find wrong with me or something I was doing. Prior to the pregnancy my wife and I had never fought very much and certainly not anything as serious. After the baby came it seemed that my wife had lost interest in me and we fought every day, I know that most new mothers take extreme interest in their first baby and he will take all of her energy,love,patience and stamina. But my wife had literally told me several times she did not need me or want me around. Recently my wife told me she wasnt sure if she loved me any longer, when I asked her what I could have done she could only say it was because I have a negative attitude. Which I too have trouble with depression and anxiety, and lately its been hard to stay positive with my wife being depressed and angry most of the time. The last week has been the most difficult of our marriage, my wife had said that she wasnt sure she wanted to be married anymore and she couldnt handle being touched by me or even in close proximity. I was deeply affected by this and I honestly have no idea what brought this on. We had just gotten back from a camping trip with her sister and her boyfriend, we had a great trip, it was fun and I really felt we were getting close to eachother again. But the next day hell broke loose. This entire last week we havent spoken much to eachother, Ive been trying to give her the space she needs to calm down and be able to talk to me again. On wednesday my wife was going through extreme mood changes, she was angry and screaming at her siblings one moment and then laughing and playing with the baby the next and then moments later she was crying about
how she had yelled at everyone then she was happy again and then angry and crying. This went on all day and night, there was nothing I could do for her but be in the same room with her because she wouldnt let me get close to her. This was pretty hard for me because when my wife crys it literally hurts my heart to watch her cry. Ive read on many of these posts how many different meds theyre loved ones take or they take themselves and Im blown away, not because I dont believe it medication or anything like that but because my wife doesn't take anything. She had been taking vitamins like St. Johns Wort and B complex and a few others, but she had to stop taking them when she was pregnant because the doctor told her it would be harmful to the baby. Although Im not positive, I dont believe my wife disclosed to her doctor that she has bipolar so he wouldnt have known to refer her to a pdoc. My wife is also very against taking medication of any kind, she wont even go to a doctor unless its life threatening. She had mentioned recently that she wants to go to a counselor but fears they will only want to medicate her. I assured her that they cannot make her take anything but only make sugestions, however I think at this point it is critical that she see someone for the sake of our marriage and our sons future. My wife knows that she doesnt want to be like this and that its severly effecting our relationship, I cant help but feel that some of her moods are because of something I've done even though I know its the BP. I don't know how to get my wife help seeing as she is a very opinionated and outspoken woman, qualities I love about
her but are very difficult to fight against. I want to sugest that she see a pdoc and accomany her to them if she will let me, I know this will inevidably cause a fight but I suppose its a necessary evil at this point. I really dont know what to do, I love my wife and I want to help her, I just want the woman I fell in love with, back.

Hello KoRn_KoR,
Welcome to HealingWell and the bipolar forum.
You are in a terribly hard position and you have my sympathy. It's never easy being married to we bipolars, and as many of us can tell you, the period right after having a child is really a free-for-all. Our other new member, KKrista, is writing about
this issue from the other side of it. Your wife does need to see a doctor. She'll have to be strong to refuse the medication they will undoubtedly try to put her on, if she chooses. But she can ask her doc for a recommendation to a therapist instead. If she refuses to take medication, she must do everything else in her power to manage her disorder and this includes diet, exercise and therapy. She needs to try and get her hormones and her mind back to a more stable place. If you are willing to do counselling with her, then press the issue, follow up by finding the therapist, checking your wife's schedule, making the appointment, getting a sitter, making her go. I know these things are hard if you're having your own trouble with depression and anxiety, but that would tell me that is all the more reason for you guys to get some counselling.
Good luck

text: Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) suggested on a New York radio station Sunday that he could rescind his resignation — scheduled to take effect at 5 p.m. Monday — after asserting that an ethics investigation into allegations that he sexually harassed one of his aides may have been orchestrated by Democratic leaders to get him out of office before the health care vote. Responding to a caller to his weekly radio show on WKPQ Power 105 FM, a recording of which was made available via the Web site of local station 13 WHAM-TV, Massa said: "I'm not going to be a Congressman as of 5 o'clock [Monday] afternoon. The only way to stop that is for me to rescind my resignation. That's the only way to stop it. And the only way that's going to happen is if this becomes a national story." During the hour-and-a-half show, Massa said that Democratic leaders are using the House ethics committee to get him out of office before the vote on health care because he voted against the House health care bill last fall. "Mine is now the deciding vote on the health care bill, and this administration and this House leadership have said, 'they will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill, and now they've gotten rid of me and it will pass.' You connect the dots," Massa said Several times during the broadcast Massa raised the prospect of rescinding his resignation if national news media picked up on his story of being railroaded out of office by Democratic leaders. In response to a caller's suggestion that Massa disseminate his allegations by contacting Fox News, Massa stated: "I can't call Fox News. You guys gotta call Fox News. I can't do it. ... Here's why. I'm in the center of this storm, so obviously I'm not objective." But Massa also repeatedly pointed out that the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, commonly referred to as the ethics panel, would continue its investigation if he remains in office. "That's very kind of you, but understand what that means for me," Massa said in a response to a caller who suggested he not resign. "It means that a group of lawyers are going to try to rip me and my family limb from limb. And you've already seen it in the newspapers. It's a piranha feeding frenzy." Massa said on the show that the ethics investigation focused on sexually charged comments he made to an aide at a New Year's Eve celebration, but charged he was unaware of an ethics committee investigation into the incident until after he had announced his retirement last week. The House ethics committee confirmed Thursday that it is investigating unspecified allegations against Massa. Massa surprised political observers when he announced on Wednesday that he would not run for re-election in November. He cited a recurrence of cancer as the reason for his decision, but after the ethics investigation was confirmed, Massa announced he would step down immediately.

of Sunlight for
American Patriots
by: Marnie L. Pehrson
108 pages, paperback
In a time when "one nation under God" has become
controversial, a book Packets of Sunlight for American
Patriots is a tribute to the Pledge of Allegiance in its entirety.
Founder of SheLovesGod.com, Marnie Pehrson, issues a call to
return to the underlying principles, values and ideals which the
founding fathers cherished and upon which the United States of
America was built. The book's chapters includes quotes by
founding fathers and historical figures arranged in chapter
headings such as "I Pledge Allegiance," "To the
Flag," "Of the United States of America," "And
to the Republic for Which it Stands," "One Nation Under
God" and so forth.
"This book is a labor of love for me - love for my country
and the freedoms protected within the U.S. Constitution,"
Pehrson explains. "This collection of patriotic packets of
sunlight has been a long time in coming. It something I wanted to
do in honor of my father, Jack Morton, who taught me to love our
country and to understand the freedoms protected in the U.S.
Constitution. I compiled this collection in hope of passing on the
torch to the rising generation."
Inside readers will meet George Washington, John Adams, Thomas
Jefferson, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln, John Jay, Daniel
Webster, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin and others. Their
timeless wisdom and faith in a Divine Providence who guided their
steps is clearly manifested. Readers will marvel at their
prophetic warnings regarding what would befall our nation should
we be diverted from the principles upon which the Constitution was
framed. The founding fathers will reignite love of liberty and
reaffirm the reader's determination to keep America free.

is Impossible
for Those Who Believe
A Christian Perspective on Wallace D. Wattles 1910 classic The Science of
Getting Rich. This is Wattles' 1910 classic with a forward written by Marnie

which many self-help books were taken. (Adobe Acrobat needed)
Excerpt from the Forward
"Most Christians misinterpret the verses in the Bible that relate to wealth
and riches to mean that we should resign ourselves to getting by on a meager
penance. But Jesus said, "I am come that they might have life and that they
might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10)." Christ is about abundance.
He's about clothing the lilies and feeding the sparrows and about giving you
everything you need to fulfill your mission in life. He wants you to have joy,
and He knows you can only do that by filling the full measure of your creation.
The riches of eternity are in His hands and they are His to give. He wants to
share them with you. He wants to teach you His mysteries and unfold the riches
of eternity to your view. But if you never ask, you can never receive. If you
don't have faith, then you can't unlock the treasure chest of blessings that
literally has your name on it!" Click

Obstacle 1 Obstacle 2 Obstacle 3 Goal Start Developed by Dr. Aaron T. Beck, Cognitive Therapy (CT), or Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), is a form of psychotherapy in which the therapist and the client work together as a team to identify and solve problems. The ABC's of CBT Incorrect example:
Your partner treats you inconsiderably; you conclude he made you angry
Correct example:
Your partner treats you inconsiderably; you assign meaning such as, "he is deliberately doing this to upset me and should not be" thus, making yourself angry
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy CBT is used to treat a wide range of problems:
Anger problems
Body dysmorphic disorder
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Chronic pain
Eating Disorders
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders
Panic Disorders
Personality Disorders
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Psychotic disorders
Relationship problems
Social Phobia
CBT focuses on the client becoming like a scientist and treat thoughts as theories about reality to be tested rather than facts.
CBT recognizes that people hold beliefs about themselves, the world, and other people. CBT aims to help these beliefs be flexible, non-extreme, and self-helping that assist the individual adapt to reality to pursue their goals.
A (actual or activating event) = C (emotional or behavioral consequence)
Incorrect but common causal relationship
Many people assume if something happens to you, it makes you feel or behave a certain way
A (actual or activating event) + B (beliefs and meanings about the events) = C (emotional or behavioral consequence)
CBT uses this formula to make sense of emotional problems
By assigning B (beliefs and meanings about the events) to the A (actual or activating event), thus making the C (emotional or behavioral consequence)
If we focus on the meanings and beliefs, the C (emotional or behavioral consequence) could have many outcomes in which the individual has control In the 1960s, while Beck was a psychiatrist at the University of Pennsylvania, having studied and practiced psychoanalysis, Dr. Beck discovered while patients where using ("free association"- the patient is asked to say everything that enters the mind without selection) there was a parallel train of thought running that the patient was unaware of until they were guided to focus on them. As a result of his findings, Dr. Beck began to look for other ways of conceptualizing depression. He found that depressed patients experienced streams of negative thoughts that seemed to arise spontaneously. He called these cognitions "automatic thoughts." He found that the patients' automatic thoughts fell into three categories. The patients had negative ideas about themselves, the world and/or the future. Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Cognitive- the mental processes like thinking, everything that goes on in your mind: dreams, memories, images, thoughts, and attention
Behavior-everything you do: what you say, how you solve problems, how you act. Includes action and inaction
Therapy- a systematic approach for combating a problem, illness, or irregular condition
Applying negative meanings You can explore if the meanings assigned are causing disturbances by answering the following:
-Is the meaning I am giving to this event extreme?
-Am I drawing global conclusions from this singular event?
-Is the meaning I'm assigning to thus event loaded against me?
The way you think and feel impact the way you act and can be problematic:
-Anxiety can create avoidance
-Depression can create isolation
CBT recognizes that you are influenced by the context which you are surrounded, your environment, and it contributes to the way you think, feel and act, however, CBT maintains that you can make a difference in the way you feel by changing unhelpful ways you think and behave, even if you can't change the environment. CBT is a goal-directed, systematic, problem-solving approach to emotional problems.
-It is aims to move you from defined emotional and behavioral problems towards goals of how you would like to feel and behave
The meanings assigned to events lead to emotional responses
Positive events normally lead to positive feelings of happiness and excitement
Negative events normally lead to negative feelings of sadness and anxiety
When meanings attached to negative events are not accurate, realistic or helpful, it can lead to thinking assigning extreme meanings, leaving the individual feeling disturbed
Drawing extreme conclusions about yourself (and the world) based on a singular experience can turn a distressing situation into a deeply disturbing one
CBT uses the work "disturbed" to refer to emotional and behavioral responses that are unhelpful and hinder the ability to adapt and cope with a negative event
Meanings Examples of the same event/different assigned meanings/different emotional response A potential girlfriend rejects you after the first date (A-event),
you may think (B-meaning/belief) "this proves I am undesirable and unlikeable",
and feel depressed (C-emotional consequence)
A potential girlfriend rejects you after the first date (A-event),
you may think (B-meaning/belief) "I guess she didn't like me that much, oh well, not the right person for me",
and feel disappointed (C-emotional consequence)
Flexible, realistic, balanced, and non absolute beliefs combat distorted automatic thoughts ABC's Distorted Automatic Thoughts Catastrophising: making mountains out of molehills
All-or-nothing thinking: black or white, no middle ground
Fortune telling: anticipating the worst as fact
Mind reading: assuming you know what others are thinking
Emotional reasoning: "I feel it, therefore it must be true"
Overgeneralizing: global pattern of negatives base on a single incident
Labeling: assigning global negative traits to yourself
Making Demands: should, need, ought, got to, and have to, are extreme and rigid
Mental Filtering: focusing on the one negative detail that fits your belief and dwell on it
Discounting positives: transforming a positive event into a neutral or negative one
Personalizing: interpreting negative events as being related to you, overlooking other factors
CBT and homework CBT focuses on practice and assignments to help the individual become aware of automatic thoughts, negative beliefs and help identify errors in thinking (Distorted automatic thoughts) and adjust emotions and behaviors based on understanding the thoughts that underlie them.
Practice makes perfect... sinking new thought into one's head takes repetition Doing Behavioral Experiments Describe your problem- Write down your problem and safety behaviors (things you do to try to prevent feared catastrophe)
Formulate your prediction- decide what will happen if you try out a new way of thinking or behaving in real life
Execute an experiment- Thinking of a way to test new belief in a real life situation
Examine the results- see if prediction came true, examine what you learned from the results
Beck's example of a depressed patient in the hospital...

Moorestown, New Jersey (PressExposure) August 03, 2013 -- GeyerGorey.com is pleased to announce that two veteran Department of Justice prosecutors, Allen P. Grunes and Maurice E. Stucke, have joined the firm. Grunes, recently named as a "Washington D.C. Super Lawyer for 2013" in antitrust litigation, government relations, and mergers & acquisitions, joins as a partner. Stucke, a widely-published professor with numerous honors including a Fulbright fellowship, joins as of counsel. Stucke will continue to teach at the University of Tennessee College of Law.
"We are delighted that Allen and Maurice have decided to join us," said Brad Geyer. "They add considerable fire power to our already impressive antitrust, compliance and white collar roster and give us more capabilities and capacity, particularly on the civil side." Robert Zastrow, who was Verizon's Assistant General Counsel for 15 years before co-founding the firm in October 2012, added, "Allen's and Maurice's extensive background and expertise nicely complement our firm's unique philosophy and enrich our competition and merger practices. We are thrilled they are joining our innovative effort in delivering legal services."
GeyerGorey LLP presents a new way to practice law. It may be the only law firm in the country where prior federal prosecutorial experience is a prerequisite for partnership. Given its lawyers' extensive legal expertise, GeyerGorey can handle trials involving the most complex legal and factual issues, and, when advantageous, work with other law firms, economists and specialists, particularly former federal prosecutors and agents, who bolster existing resources, expertise and constantly freshen perspective.
Consistent with GeyerGorey's philosophy, both Grunes and Stucke are alumni of the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, in Washington, D.C. At DOJ, they led numerous civil investigations, worked on high-profile trials, and negotiated consent decrees involving significant divestitures across many different industries. In their last case together at the Division, In re Visa Check/MasterMoney Antitrust Litigation, they successfully sought, as a matter of equity and the first time in the Division's history, for the government's share of damages in a private class action settlement.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., GeyerGorey specializes in white collar criminal defense, particularly investigations and cases involving allegations of economic crimes, such as violations of the federal antitrust laws.

NotesPeek sprites
Saturday 22 December 2012
Warning: what follows is me reminiscing about stuff I found in a box in my attic (not really, metaphorically). You don't have to read it. I enjoyed going through it!
Almost 20 years ago, when I worked at Lotus, I wrote a tool called NotesPeek, for peering into Notes databases. It ran on Windows, and was modelled on the then-new Windows Explorer: a tree control on the left, and a pane on the right for details. More description and screenshots are at the DeveloperWorks page about NotesPeek.
One of the appealing aspects of writing NotesPeek was making the pixel art. The tree control had a different icon for each different kind of thing in the tree. Notes databases consisted of many different kinds of records, and each one got its own icon. I had to design (or steal) each of them.
NotesPeek ran on Windows, and at the time, 16-color displays were typical, so most artwork used the Windows 16-color palette as a lowest common denominator. This meant using hand-dithering to get interesting effects. Light and dark pixels would have to suggest features that couldn't be actually drawn in such tight spaces.
Showing these icons now is a tricky matter, because pixels are much smaller than they were then, and LCD screens are crisper than the CRTs then. To see them as they were then, try magnifying your browser window a bit, which will give you both larger pixels and a bit of smearing.
The Notes icon then was three "bowling pin" people on a yellow plinth, and the NotesPeek icon was a riff on that: an x-ray machine showing the insides of the people:
The x-ray screen worked really well, and I liked the subtle tie-in of the skeletons with the tree control at the core of the UI. The bowling-pin person would show up in a few of my icons to represent "Notes."
The tree-control icons were smaller, only 16×16 pixels, which meant there weren't many pixels to play with. It was fun to try to come up with a graphical representation of a concept, and then to try to make it look good with only 16×16 pixels and 16 colors. I didn't always succeed, and luckily this was just a free side-project developer's tool, so if the icons were clunky, tough luck. But a few of them I liked.
Here the last two icons in the top row are a database, and a template for a database. The last icon in the second row represented "blob," and has some nice shading effects. In icons with overlapping objects, there's a gray pixel in the black outline to keep them from merging together.
These represent the various access levels. I lifted them from the product itself, so they look better than most. I drew the drama mask at the end to represent "Role."
Various kinds of documents. Notice the second-to-last icon has a bowling-pin guy rendered only 3 pixels wide.
These are types of fields. The second and third icons in the third row please me still: Signature and Seal, and the next one, Binary, I also like.
About now is when the icons start getting out of hand. Rich text in a Notes database is stored as Compound Document Records, and there are many kinds of CD Record, each with their own icon. In this menagerie you can find OS icons (Windows, OS/2, and Mac), a palette, a red-to-blue link used in a few ways and plenty of other stuff, I didn't even know at the time what they all meant.
Forbidden documents? Random stuff.
Some developer things, including two different representations of "Java."
Another burst of CD Record icons, including international things, frameset pieces, a color wheel, and another blobby thing.
The last few miscellaneous icons. Whew!
There's one last bit of art in NotesPeek, an icon of my face for the easter egg:
I didn't draw this, I made it from a photo, of course. I include it only because I am amazed at how little it looks like my, or any other, face when magnified:
There are no features on there! But when viewed actual size, I am clearly recognizable. Pixel art indeed. Spooky.


text: My bimac arrived today. Hes very feisty and keeps trying to escape. I have been trying to convince him that he like it there, but so far no dice. Its going to be a long acclimation if I cant convince him to stay put... lol Take care if you order octopuses from this company. I will say the owner was very nice and helped me out with shipping and kept me up to date with all information. However he knows almost nothing about the care of octopuses and his transport leaves a lot to be desired. He is learning I guess but I personally prefer to work with people who know how to ship sensitive inverts so as to not need to worry if my octo got squished. I may be willing to order other things from him like LR or corals but fish and octos are out as far as I am concerned, at least for the time being. Update**** I feel I need to explain further on the shipping method used for the octopuses I received. In the video I saw of the octos they appeared MUCH larger so I asked for the youngest one he had. First shipment had a baby octopuses no older than 2 weeks. There was a container poked with holes floating in water in the bag, however the octopus was not in the container but swimming around in the bag. I was surprised it didn't get smooshed by the cup. The second shipment was the same except this time the box was MUCH smaller and the containers lid had popped off and the octopus was not in the water! Apparently either the bag got flipped during shipping or she just didnt like the water... either way she wasn't in the water and I have no way of knowing how long she was out of it. I guess my displeasure of these shipments is I have ordered both from Live Aquaria and Tom and BOTH were flawlessly packaged. Now having said that, I am sure this guy is just learning and he was very nice about everything however I feel he needs to learn more about octopuses before I order from him again. I am just glad this little lady made the trip and she was much larger than the first one I received.

LAHH is an organization that has the right idea, the right concept and is accomplishing so much more than they truly get credit for.

E, Fombonne., J, Morel., J, Macarthur. (2006). No Autism Amongst Inuits From Northern Quebec. Paper Presented at IMFAR. June, 2006.
Except that Fombonne et al. found no autism in Inuit population (which is also genetically distinct), but who have excellent health care including full vaccines. It was argued the Inuits (a closed population) may have developed a natural and high, self-chelation ability. Unfortunately this is not shown by any research and it is a dogmatic fallacy, almost a Lamarckian fallacy, to claim that because it would make sense for a population to develop a given trait, that they actually have.
This may not be a "nail in the coffin", but it is defiately getting harder and harder to ascribe the potential "epidemic of autism" to mercury.

Barak Barfi, a family spokesman, also said authorities have not established its authenticity.
He said: "The family knows of this horrific tragedy and is grieving privately. There will be no public comment from the family during this difficult time."
Mr Sotloff, 31, was a freelance journalist for Time and Foreign Policy magazines who went missing in Syria.
He was apparently killed by IS in revenge for US airstrikes on the Islamist militant group in Iraq.
His reported death comes two weeks after the release of a video showing the killing of fellow US citizen James Foley and Mr Sotloff being threatened with death.
That led to Mr Sotloff's mother Shirley pleading for her son's life.
A friend of both hostages, Matthew Van Dyke, told Sky News it was time for the US to consider paying ransoms to secure the release of hostages.
IS had reportedly demanded £80m for Mr Foley's release.
But the US - unlike several European countries that have given millions to the terror group to spare their citizens - refused to pay.
Mr Van Dyke told Sky News he hoped the apparent killing was a "wake-up call to Americans", adding: "This is a serious threat".
He went on: "They are executing Americans and videotaping it and we need to do something about that. The US administration needs to get serious about the problem."
Mr Van Dyke said there were more Americans being held by IS and "we need to bring them home".
He said authorities should "re-examine the policy of paying ransoms for prisoner exchanges to at least get these people home and then take on IS and kill them before they get to spend the money."
Mr Van Dyke said the news of Mr Sotloff's reported death was "horrible", adding: "I've lost two friends in two weeks."
He said Mr Sotloff was a "brilliant journalist, hard working and dedicated".
"He knew the dangers but he knew the story needed to be told."

The Petaluma City Council has a strange bedfellow in its effort to prevent the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians from building a casino on pasture land just south of the city limits.
Greg Sarris, tribal chairman of the Graton Rancheria, said his tribe opposes the possibility as well.
The Graton tribe is set to open its massive Rohnert Park casino and resort complex later this year, likely redirecting millions of gambling dollars away from Dry Creek's River Rock casino further north in Geyserville.
Petaluma opposed Graton's Rohnert Park casino because city officials expected it will bring a host of unwelcome — and expensive — impacts to Petaluma, including increases in crime and traffic and wear and tear on already-deteriorated area roads.
City Councilman Mike Healy, an attorney, provided much of the legal work to fight the Rohnert Park casino.
But Sarris has now joined Healy's lead in efforts against the Dry Creek tribe's potential casino development south of Petaluma. A casino there would likely siphon Bay Area gambling profits from the Rohnert Park casino.
The Petaluma City Council on Monday will consider a letter Healy has penned seeking support from the region's federal representatives to prevent Dry Creek's 277 acres along Highway 101 near Kastania Road from being taken into federal trust.
Although the Dry Creek chairman has said recently drawn-up development plans for the land don't include a casino, Petaluma leaders — and apparently Sarris — don't fully trust that assertion.
Chairman Harvey Hopkins didn't return messages seeking comment on the issue.
In comments last month, Hopkins said the tribe has dropped plans for a second casino, saying it would require taking on too much debt.
"Call his bluff," Sarris said of Hopkins' statements. "Have him make a statement that they will never develop a casino there. Have him make a legal and binding (memorandum of understanding) with the county and the city that should ... that land go into trust, it will never be used for the purpose of gaming.
"That will settle all this real fast," Sarris said.
In a memorandum with the county in 2008 leading to an expanded River Rock, the tribe agreed not to pursue a casino on its Petaluma property until at least 2016.
As shown in recent design drawings, the tribe's latest project calls for about 42 townhouses and condominiums for tribal members, six sports fields, an indoor sports facility, restaurant, convenience store, gas station, medical clinic and fire station.
The tribe also plans to develop a wetlands mitigation bank near the Petaluma River so the tribe could sell credits to developers who are required to offset the loss of wetlands for construction projects elsewhere.
Healy and other skeptics have questioned why the tribe needs to put the land into trust if it has no casino plans, or why it needs a fire station since there is an existing one less than a mile away.
He notes that once designated Indian land, it would not be subject to state laws or county zoning regulations, which designate the property for agriculture.
"We are concerned that the only reason for the tribe to transfer the property in trust to the federal government would be an attempt to circumvent these laws," states Healy's letter to Democratic Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer and Rep. Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael.

Visual grouping is a key mechanism in human scene perception. There, it belongs to the subconscious, early processing and is key prerequisite for other high level tasks such as recognition. In this paper, we introduce an efficient, realtime capable algorithm which likewise agglomerates a valuable hierarchical clustering of a scene, while using purely local appearance statistics. To speed up the processing, first we subdivide the image into meaningful, atomic segments using a fast Watershed transform. Starting from there, our rapid, agglomerative clustering algorithm prunes and maintains the connectivity graph between clusters to contain only such pairs, which directly touch in the image domain and are reciprocal nearest neighbors (RNN) wrt. a distance metric. The core of this approach is our novel cluster distance: it combines boundary and surface statistics both in terms of appearance as well as spatial linkage. This yields state-of-the-art performance, as we demonstrate in conclusive experiments conducted on BSDS500 and Pascal-Context datasets. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.

Hepatology | Year: 2012
The sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (Ntcp) is the major bile salt uptake transporter at the sinusoidal membrane of hepatocytes. Short-term feedback regulation of Ntcp by primary bile salts has not yet been investigated in vivo. Subcellular localization of Ntcp was analyzed in Ntcp-transfected HepG2-cells by flow cytometry and in immunofluorescence images from tissue sections by a new automated image analysis method. Net bile salt uptake was investigated in perfused rat liver by a pulse chase technique. In Flag-Ntcp-EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein) expressing HepG2-cells, taurochenodeoxycholate (TCDC), but not taurocholate (TC), induced endocytosis of Ntcp. TCDC, but not TC, caused significant internalization of Ntcp in perfused rat livers, as shown by an increase in intracellular Ntcp immunoreactivity, whereas Bsep distribution remained unchanged. These results correlate with functional studies. Rat livers were continuously perfused with 100 μmol/L of TC. 25 μmol/L of TCDC, taurodeoxycholate (TDC), tauroursodeoxycholate (TUDC), or TC were added for 30 minutes, washed out, followed by a pulse of 3[H]-TC. TCDC, but not TDC, TUDC, or TC significantly increased the amount of 3[H]-TC in the effluent, indicating a reduced sinusoidal net TC uptake. This effect was sensitive to chelerythrine (protein kinase C inhibitor) and cypermethrin (protein phosphatase 2B inhibitor). Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors had an additive effect, whereas Erk1/2 (extracellular signal activated kinase 1/2), p38MAPK, protein phosphatase 1/2A (PP1/2A), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were not involved. Conclusion: TCDC regulates bile salt transport at the sinusoidal membrane by protein kinase C- and protein phosphatase 2B-mediated retrieval of Ntcp from the plasma membrane. During increased portal bile salt load this mechanism may adjust bile salt uptake along the acinus and protect periportal hepatocytes from harmful bile salt concentrations. © 2012 American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases.

This paper presents a distributed Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm in order to detect malicious software (malware) on a network of mobile devices. The light-weight system monitors mobile user activity in a distributed and privacy-preserving way using a statistical classification model which is evolved by training with examples of both normal usage patterns and unusual behavior. The system is evaluated using the MIT reality mining data set. The results indicate that the distributed learning system trains quickly and performs reliably. Moreover, it is robust against failures of individual components. © 2010 IEEE.

Recently, Bringer et al. proposed a new approach for remote biometric based verification, which consists of a hybrid protocol that distributes the server side functionality in order to detach the biometric data storage from the service provider. Besides, a new security model is defined using the notions of Identity and Transaction Privacy, which guarantee the privacy of the identity-biometrics relationship under the assumption of non-colluding servers. However, due to the high communication and computational costs, the systems following this model cannot be implemented for large scale biometric systems. In this paper, we describe an efficient multi-factor biometric verification system with improved accuracy and lower complexity by considering the range information of every component of the user biometrics separately. Also, the new scheme is provably secure based on the security model of Bringer et al and implements a different database storage that eliminates the disadvantages of encrypted biometric templates in terms of ciphertext expansion. Also, we evaluate different Private Information Retrieval (PIR) schemes applicable for this setting and propose a practical solution for our scheme that reduces the computation costs dramatically. Finally, we compare our results with existing provably secure schemes and achieve reduced computational cost and database storage cost due to the single storage of the common features of the users in the system and amortization of the time complexity of the PIR. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

It is not easy for western people to learn Chinese. Native German speakers find it difficult to understand how Chinese sentences convey meanings without using cases. Statistical machine translation tools may deliver correct German-Chinese translations, but would not explain educational matters. This article reviews some interdisciplinary research on bilingualism, and expounds on how translation is carried out through cross-linguistic cue switching processes. Machine translation approaches are revisited from the perspective of cue switching concluding that: the word order cue is explicitly simulated in all machine translation approaches, and the case cue being implicitly simulated in statistical machine translation approaches can be explicitly simulated in rule-based and example-based machine translation approaches. A convergent result of machine translation research is to advocate an explicit deep-linguistic representation. Here, a novel machine translation method is motivated by blending existing machine translation methods from the viewpoint of cue-switching, and is firstly aimed as an educational tool. This approach takes a limited amount of German-Chinese translations in textbooks as examples, whose cues can be manually obtained, and for which we have developed MultiNet-like deep linguistic representations and cross-linguistic cue-switching processes. Based on this corpus, our present tool is aimed at helping native German speakers to learn Chinese more efficiently, and shall later be expanded to a more comprehensive machine translation system. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Recently, Sarier 1 proposed an efficient biometric Identity Based Encryption (IBE) scheme called BIO-IBE using the Sakai Kasahara Key Construction and proved its security in the Random Oracle Model (ROM) based on the well-exploited k-BDHI computational problem. Despite its efficiency compared to other fuzzy IBE systems implemented for biometric identities, BIO-IBE is not secure against a new type of denial of service (DoS) attack that we present. In this context, we describe a new biometric IBE scheme and show that our scheme is immune against this attack due to the signature applied on the public value PAR of the user. This way, the sender can detect whether PAR of the receiver that is stored publicly is modified by an active adversary, thus the generation of a ciphertext based on a wrong identity is avoided. The main difference of the new scheme is the structure of the key generation algorithm, where a unique biometric identity string ID obtained from the biometric attributes is used instead of picking a different polynomial for each user as in other fuzzy IBE schemes. In addition to the well-defined security model for current fuzzy IBE schemes, we describe a stronger security model and prove the security of our scheme in this framework achieving a better reduction cost compared to BIO-IBE. Finally, our scheme provides security against DoS attacks and better efficiency in terms of the key generation and decryption algorithms compared to the existing fuzzy IBE schemes. © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this paper, we describe a new biometric Identity Based Signature (IBS) scheme based on the Sakai Kasahara Key Construction and prove its security in the framework of a stronger security model compared to exisiting adversarial models. Besides, we present a new type of a denial of service (DoS) attack and evaluate existing biometric IBS schemes in this context. Based on the recently defined privacy notions, we show that our scheme achieves weak signer-attribute privacy and the security is reduced to the k-DHI computational problem in the ROM with an efficient reduction. Finally, our scheme is compared to other error tolerant signature schemes and shown to be much more efficient in terms of its each phase. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.

In this paper, we present a novel framework for the generic construction of biometric Identity Based Encryption (IBE) schemes, which do not require bilinear pairings and result in more efficient schemes than existing fuzzy IBE systems implemented for biometric identities. Also, we analyze the security properties that are specific to biometric IBE namely anonymity and identity privacy. Considering these notions, we present generic constructions for biometric IBE and ID-KEM based on weakly secure anonymous IBE schemes, error correcting codes and generic conversion schemes. Finally, we describe concrete applications of our framework and compare them to the existing fuzzy IBE systems in terms of time complexity. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2010.

In this paper we construct an approximation algorithm for the Minimum Vertex Cover (Min-VC) problem with an expected approximation ratio of 2-ζ(β)-1-12β2βζ(β-1) ζ(β) for random power-law graphs in the P(α,β) model due to Aiello et al. Here ζ(β) is the Riemann zeta function of β. We obtain this result by combining the Nemhauser and Trotter approach for Min-VC with a new deterministic rounding procedure which achieves an approximation ratio of 32 on a subset of low degree vertices for which the expected contribution to the cost of the associated linear program is sufficiently large. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Scientific communication in biomedicine is, by and large, still text based. Text mining technologies for the automated extraction of useful biomedical information from unstructured text that can be directly used for systems biology modelling have been substantially improved over the past few years. In this review, we underline the importance of named entity recognition and relationship extraction as fundamental approaches that are relevant to systems biology. Furthermore, we emphasize the role of publicly organized scientific benchmarking challenges that reflect the current status of text-mining technology and are important in moving the entire field forward. Given further interdisciplinary development of systems biology-orientated ontologies and training corpora, we expect a steadily increasing impact of text-mining technology on systems biology in the future. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Mangaluru: Following the murder of two inmates within the jail premises here on Monday, safety measures are being taken under the guidance of the top brass of the prison officials from the state level.
Sixteen undertrials have been moved to five different jails in the state – Mysuru, Dharwad, Belagavi, Kalaburagi and Ballari. IGP prisons A V Ananta Reddy has been camping in the city and he, with his team, is going into all aspects that have caused constant trouble in the jail premises here.
Prima facie, the killings were pre-planned. Outside elements involved, possible security lapses and shortfalls in the management of the jail and all other related matters are being investigated.
How weapons could be smuggled into the premises is the main issue they have on hand. The fact that the body of slain Madoor Yusuf aka Isubu bore 40 stabbing marks showed clear signs of in-house rivalry and a deep conspiracy.
Initial reports said that Yusuf was finished off first. In retaliation, his enraged supporters in the jail inflicted fatal injuries on Ganesh Shetty with tiles and wooden tile supports from the roofs, which had been dismantled from the old jail premises and which were lying around.

Travel Agent Meeting
Travel Agent Meeting was one of the first websites I developed. The company I worked for needed a source of information on the latest events for its travel agents. Prior to this, travel agents would receive numerous updates in the form of emails. This was by no means an efficient process as it required the involvement of several people. To solve this problem and streamline the process, we launched a website that served as a one-stop shop of sorts. The content was categorized by relevance, and travel agents could get website updates delivered via an automated opt-in form.
Reach success by making travel education a top priority! Travel Agent Meeting is your new resource for the latest information on KHM Travel Group's upcoming live training events, FAM trips, industry events and more!

Three big grocery-store chains reached a tentative union contract with 8,900 employees in Northern California, likely averting a strike and lockout.
The peaceful climax to contract talks a contrast to the stalemate that kept more than 50,000 grocery workers off their jobs in Southern and Central California for 4-1/2 months last fall and winter could provide a blueprint for ending negotiations that are continuing between stores and about 30,000 union members in the San Francisco area.

The United Food and Commercial Workers' Local 588 in Northern California said the proposed contract reached late Sunday with Safeway, Albertsons and Kroger's Ralphs chain doesn't include a "two-tier" wage and benefits system.
Under a two-tier system like the one in the contract that finally ended the Southern and Central California dispute, new hires are paid less and receive fewer benefits than employees who started working under earlier contracts.
Union officials in Southern California fiercely opposed the two-tier idea, but the supermarkets prevailed when 59,000 union members ratified the new contract. The supermarkets insisted that they had to slash their operating costs to compete with nonunion, lower-cost discount chains that are expanding in the grocery business.
Still, the chains paid dearly, suffering more than $1.5 billion in lost sales during the strike and lockout. And they've said that the ongoing costs of luring back pre-strike customers are continuing to hurt their profits. That probably influenced the chains' willingness to agree to a Northern California contract without the two-tier program, union officials and industry analysts said.
Safeway said it was "pleased" with the tentative contract in Northern California but didn't elaborate. Albertsons declined to comment and Ralphs didn't return calls seeking comment.
The UFCW made some concessions in Northern California, such as stretching out the time it would take for new hires to reach top scales in wages and benefits, said UFCW Local 588 President Jack Loveall.
Loveall said that, in addition to not having the two-tier setup, the proposed pacts include wage increases and wouldn't require that workers pay any premiums for health insurance. New hires would start with a less-generous health-care plan, but could eventually work their way up to the plan enjoyed by veteran employees, he added.
Workers are expected to vote on the three-year pacts by mail later this month.
