o!!! you mean that 90 point in fraction I gave you for calling one of the staff members "gay ass mod" Hmmmmm. how about you take your "gay ass Self" and get off this board if your going to say our rules are strict they are that way for a reason.
When you can post like a mature person and stop spamming the site, AKA calling staff guy saying we suck (and BTW thats considered flaming a staff member) That should of been a straight off ban to begin with.
If you want to earn the respect of the staff you must give respect. We take time out of our busy day to come onto this board to Help out the community and someone calls us "gay" or "We suck" Dude you have 2 choices. Either deal with the rules or Leave Plain and simple
EDIT: Also if you can still Read this. Stop bothering the staff members with your half hearted apologies. Before I ban your IP address and then you won't be getting back period.

Fish Emulsion/Kelp Booster
I went to Agway to pick up some seaweed/fish emulsion to fertilize my plants this week and they sold me "Kelp Booster". I followed instructions and put about half a cup around the drip line and gently mixed in with a fork all 30 of my plants before I noticed that the bag said "not intended for use on food crops"!!! the ingredients are just calcium and kelp... How bad is this???
Went to the Agway website to find the product and what it said about it. Couldn't find any kelp products listed in either the organic or non-organic and nothing by that name. Can you find a link to it somewhere?
However I did discover that they sell lots of Espoma fertilizers and Espoma makes a lawn care product called ORGANICA KELP BOOSTER. Is this a picture of what you got? If so then check out the Espoma website instead of Agway or call Espoma for details on why it can't be used on food crops.
Here is a link that might be useful: Kelp Booster
Uhh more likely it has some sort of added binders or inert additives that while fine for grass isn't approved for use around edibles. Found the MSDS for it here. Manufactured by Espoma and sold under the brand name Organica Lawn Products
At the very least i'd return the remainder of it to the store that sold it to you and demand money back for mis-representing the product as one for the garden.
The MSDS doesn't list any hazards that jump off the page but the link above does provide the phone for calling Organica for more info on safety.

Study Finds Freakish Illness Is In Patient's HeadsJanuary 27, 2012 6:01 am | Comments
Mike Stobbe, AP Imagine having the feeling that tiny bugs are crawling on your body, that you have oozing sores and mysterious fibers sprouting from your skin. Sound like a horror movie?

EHRs Still Need WorkJanuary 27, 2012 5:52 am | Comments
Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar, AP America may be a technology-driven nation, but the healthcare system's conversion from paper to computerized records needs lots of work to get the bugs out, according to experts who spent months studying the issue. Hospitals and doctors' offices increasingly are going digital, the Bipartisan Policy Center says in a report, but there's been little progress getting the computer systems to talk to one another in order to exchange data like financial companies.

Fewer Diabetes-Related AmputationsJanuary 25, 2012 5:48 am | Comments
Mike Stobbe, AP Foot and leg amputations were once a fairly common fate for diabetics, but new government research shows a dramatic decline in limbs lost to the disease, probably due to better treatments.

Routine Checks Get Second LookJanuary 24, 2012 5:28 am | Comments
Lauran Neergaard, AP Recent headlines offer a fresh example of how the healthcare system could be subjecting people to too many medical tests — this time research showing millions of older women don't need their bones checked for osteoporosis nearly so often. Many expers also say cancer screening is overused, from mammograms given too early or too often to prostate cancer tests that may not save lives.
Home-Made Meth Fills Hospitals With Burn PatientsJanuary 24, 2012 4:42 am | Comments
Jim Salter, AP A crude new method of making methamphetamine poses a risk even to Americans who never get anywhere near the drug. It is filling hospitals with thousands of uninsured burn patients requiring millions of dollars in advanced treatment — a burden so costly that it's contributing to the closure of some burn units.
Intuitive Surgical Slips Due To Lack Of Expanded ProceduresJanuary 23, 2012 5:44 am | Comments
(AP) — Shares of Intuitive Surgical, Inc. retreated from all-time highs Friday on what two analysts called disappointment over the number of procedures performed with the company's da Vinci robotic surgical system in the fourth quarter.

Don Babwin, AP Dante Autullo was sure he'd merely cut himself with a nail gun while building a shed, and thought doctors were joking when they told him what an X-ray revealed: A 3-1/4" nail was lodged in the middle of his brain. Autullo was recovering Friday after undergoing surgery at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Illinois, where doctors removed the nail that came within millimeters of the part of the brain that controlls motor function.

Anybody Graft Hoya
Does anyone graft Hoya. Kloppenburg references grafting H. bella on H. imperialis in his books. Is this effective in growing H. bella or any other cool growing species in warm climates? It seems like the leaves still wouldn't like the heat and not grow well.
It seems like that to me, too, Randy. Bella leaves are so reactive. It kind of reminds me of something that I read about Streptocarpus once. That you can forget to water it once and the leaves will bounce back, but if you do it again they'll never fully recover. I don't think bella is as bad as Streps, but it does seem really hard to get the vines to plump back up again. I can only imagine what it would be like to deal with it in heat on top of my own human errors.
It's an interesting idea though. Are you thinking about giving it a go?
I'm not very good at grafting but I do like this plant. I was thinking about it in the Spring but I would need to get a cutting now and grow it through the winter, i guess. I'm not sure what root stock to use. Kloppenberg recommended H. imperialis but I would have to root a cutting and fall/winter isn't a goood time. I do have some small plants of diversifolia that might be good.
It does? All I hear is people having problems with it. Maybe there are certain clones that handle high temperatures better. Where did you get your plant?
Do you grow linearis, serpens, and polyneura as well? I hear chinghungensis is not that difficult.
I think as long as you can keep up with the moisture requirments then Hoya lanceolata is not difficult. Growing in areas with hot summers with low humidity would be difficult and allowing the plant to dry out is asking for problems. This is one of the few Hyas that I grow in sphagnum moss as it's easier to keep moist but repotting is needed more often than conventional potting mixes.
I also grow Hoya chinghungensis but it is still fairly small and is kept in my orchid case in high light. The leaves are actually blushed with red and the plant does very well. I believe that humidity is the key with this group of Hoyas. Another thing to think about is root systems. Hoya lanceolata seems to have a smaller or shallower root system than many other Hoyas and so it is more sensitive to dryness, especially as a newly established plant. I don't grow Hoya lanceolata as well as many other forum members but after switiching to moss I can keep it happy which never happened while in a more open bark based mix. This Hoya is a mite magnet if it is stressed so it's best to keep a close eye on moistire levels etc.
I have never heard of grafting Hoyas and it seems like the only reason to do so would be to increase the chances of success with tempermental species. Randy I woud say that Hoya diversifolia would be a perfect grafting stock as it is such a resilient species. Hoya imperalis can be difficult for some people and it is much less adaptable than so many other species that I would think it a poor choice for grafting stock. Hoya carnosa would be another good choice as it is able to deal with a wide range of temperatures as well as dryness which can be a problem for so many other species. Maybe we should do a grafting trial just to see what sort of outcome is possible. There are so many slow growing Hoyas that just might benefit from this. That is if growth rate would be one of the factors that could be improved on.
Definitely search for Renee's bella threads. I find them very interesting as well and she gets into the specifics of her growing conditions/strategy. This thread is a good example. (Or this one for polyneura.) (And here's serpens.
I think Mike's right, and it's more about water than temperature. It's just when you grow cool, it dries out slightly slower and there's a little more give built in. It sounds to me like Renee really stays on top of the plants that require frequent watering. Which is more than I can say for my own capabilities.
I agree that a grafting trial would be informative. I'll have to think of a species that would be a compelling candidate for it, for me. Maybe in the spring we can have a graft off.
When I get home thus weekend, I'll attach pics showing how well they can grow even in Florida summers.
GG yes watering during the heat seems to be the key. I even started cuttings of both bella and polyneura in S/H. The Bella has bloomed in it, the polyneura not yet, but it is growing well.

Peat and Sphagnum moss? HELP!!!!!!
Okay so I got a alice sundew Vft and n. ventricosa and planted them in this peat moss with perlite and on the vft i threw some dried sphagnum on top. I got the Sphagnum from lowes and the peat moss from a nursery.
Lately, my sundew looked ill, and the nepenthes had some dieing pitchers, nothing seemed wrong with what I was doing. I use peat moss, perlite , distilled water, yet i was failing. So i thought maybe somehow i used tap water accidently so i got distilled water and poured it through the sundews peat moss and then checked it with my TDS tester. It came out at 068 ppm!!!!! then to see if the peat was the problem, i poured some distilled water in a cup then mixed in some peat moss to a soupy mixture. I checked the TSD and it was 015, and rising each minute. So I knew i had bad peat so to be safe I did the same to the sphagnum and got even higher results!!! WTH!!!!! So what do you guys suggest I use, can you recommend a brand of peat and sphagnum online? the distilled water is not the problem so dont suggest i find different water. But what can i do know. I took some leaf cuttings from the sundew so if It dies i have back up. But how do i keep it alive till i get different soil?
you may have bought some greenmoss that was incorrectly labeled as sphagnum moss, it happens alot. geenmoss is poisonous to cps, and you need to check the bag for your peatmoss, it is either not actually made of sphagnum peat moss or it is like the miracle grow brand and has fertilizer in it. which is bad for your plant. and where are you growing your nep? how much sunlight does it get? you also might want to make sure your mix for the nep has slightly more perlite than peat.
The type of peat I have been using for over 14 years now is the peat that comes in 3 Cubic Feet bails. You can get this type of peat from Lowes or maybe even Walmart. The only pain is that since the peat is so dry it takes a bit to get it wet again. It isn't a "Need" to use Long Fibered Sphagnum Moss, the plants can do fine with out it.
The Total Dissolved Solids meter you have might not be reading correctly since there is the chance of soil being in the water. I under stand it tests the EC of the water for Dissolved inorganic salts but there might be a chance of it being thrown off.
So assuming the peat is correct and the moss isn't green moss lets run through some other things. How long ago did you transplant the plants? What are the Day and Night temps where you live? How often do you water? Are the pots sitting in a tray that has water in it? How wet is the soil? How much sunlight or light do the plants receive? Are they indoors or out? Did you check to make sure there are no bad bugs on the plants or there is no mold?
If you decide to replant once again go with 60/40 peat to perlite. This mix seems to work well as a general all purpose mix I use for everything from VFT's to Nepenthes. The more demanding plants require different media but you have easy to grow plants. CP's can be tricky and fussy but once you get your techniques dialed in they will flourish.
Best Wishes!!

United Service Organizations, Inc. (USO World Headquarters) Reviews
Invite reviews
I am a Vietnam war veteran and I can tell you that the USO was there for me and my fellow Marines as we traveled to an fro and in the cities near our bases.
I am not concerned that the CEO's pay is $400,000. They are a large organization and his pay is in line with their income.
I have supported the men and women in the armed forces for over 40 years with contributions to the USO and will continue to do so.
It is the men and women that are in need of the USO services - this is what you need to keep in mind. Withholding a donation to punish the CEO only punishes our troops and that is short sighted.
Give to the extent you can and support those that protect us 24/7.

How would you describe the help you got from this organization?
A lot
How likely are you to recommend this organization to a friend?
How do you feel you were treated by this organization?
Very Well
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
The USO needs to be fully investigate on how they use/treat donor intended dollars....the keep the funds at Arlington/allow their centers to spend the expenses without crediting the local centers account. The ultimate is they then require their center managers to write up reports back to Arlington so Arlington can use that to show the donor how their funds were put to work. Arlington spends the funds on their bloated / highlypaidstaff.

As with any organization, one person may have one experience and another have a very different experience. For me, Tide detergent doesn't work, but that doesn't color my entire view of PnG. Running into one ill-informaed volunteer should not color your experience with the entire organization. For me and my family, the USO has been a valuable resource for support, sometimes being the only people I could lean on in a difficult situation. The USO provides a quite place to rest in an airport, a place to find community and maybe a "senior wife" to lend perspective to a situation one might only face as a military spouse. USO volunteers have stood by me in remote locations where I never would have suspected they even had a presence, but they did. Every interaction I have had with the USO has been superior.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the support they provide informed by their intimate knowledge of the issues military families face.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
add more airport locations, like TPA, and move a few of them inside security like ATL or Dulles.
As the wife of a military member I have enjoyed the warmth of the USO at so many places around the world. While my husband was in Afghanistan the USO provided a service where he was able to read a book to my daughter...they taped it and sent it to us. My daughter watched that video every day until her dad made it home (safely :) ). We have used their centers in the airport when needing a place to rest with the kids while on our way to our next duty station. And, at Christmas time, when things were really very lonely, they held a special party for the kids. The kids got to make cards and presents for their parents who were deployed. And what was really incredible? The fact that while I was not looking they helped my daughter make a card and present for me too. They put it in the mail and it arrived on Christmas Eve. It's the little things that mean so much. Thanks USO!! You make it a little bit easier for all of us. You'll never know how much we appreciated it.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
our every day lives as a military family.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
ensure there were centers in more places throughout the world.
More feedback...
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
It truly made a difference in our lives. The little things that matter....nothing makes you feel more at home than a warm smile in an unfamiliar place.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Really great. They loved what they did and you could tell. They were just spectacular with our kids.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Serve all military families and members. They deserve it!
Ways to make it better...
my husband could have been there with us.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
More people need to know about them. More people need to donate and volunteer.

Interview Question
Interview Answer
1 Answer
Tell a life story. Tell the truth but remember the interview is a dance. You'll have to be very keen to pick up on the lead and follow through with what you think they'll want to hear. So bottom line, don't lie but it's ok to imbellish or stress points that reinforce the message you are trying to get across; mainly, that you are the best fit for the job. Don't lie, they may ask you about your story again after you're hired which may lead to a very uncomfortable situation.

"If we cut the budget are you going to be the one standing at the exit explaining to guests why the ride they just rode is a piece of crap?" - - John Lasseter
Well I went to Disneyland today. It actually wasn't too busy, got on a lot of rides. But, I made it a point to go on Storybook Land. Unfortunately, by the time it reopened after the parade it was dark so I couldn't reall see much of the decorations. They didn't seem to be many anyway.
But, more interestingly, there was no Princess and the Frog scenes added.
Also, I went on Indy today, and I got the "Future Knowledge" door for the first time since the sligh refurbishment. This time, in addition to the stars, there was also a project circle with an eye in the middle of it, which I thought was kind of cool.
Can anyone confirm that the comment at the end matches the door you went into at the start? I dont need a stroller :P
In case anyone is curious, here are the three lines:
1. Ah, welcome back. You entered the observatory of the future. In that case I don't even have to tell you that we would like you to stay seated until your transport comes to a complete stop.
2. Greetings. You will no doubt be having many jewels and coins in your possession. Please stay seated until the transport comes to a complete stop and step out carefully with your treasure.
3. Friends I celebrate your arrival. If you drank too much from the fountain of youth we will be happy to assist you with strollers. Heh, heh. But please stay seated until your transport comes to a complete stop.
Another question, when you hear Mara's voice when they say "You've choosen the [whatever door]" and "Fools! You looked into my eyes.." Are those sounds from the car speakers or from hidden speakrs the room? Although it really sounds like its echoing around you, I think its just in the car right?
He also occasionally says "INFIDELS!" from time to time. Although, that is harder to tell apart from the other sound effects in the room. Still- he says it.
Oh, I dont know if there are hidden speakers, I was asking if there were or how it worked.
There are hidden speakers. Observe:
Interestingly enough, the jeep is fairly close to those when Mara is saying his lines.

Two press conferences down …
First it was the coronation for Jonathan Papelbon in Philadelphia. That represented the signing of the undisputed big-ticket item when it came to free agent closers. Then Tuesday brought us Joe Nathan donning his new Rangers hat, signaling the first second-tier game-ending reliever to jump out of the market.
This is where it starts to get interesting for the Red Sox, and what could be up to six or seven teams looking for a closer.
"There's a point where the market could shift dramatically," Padres general manager Josh Byrnes said, "where there are four teams left and two guys out there. You don't go to spring training with two closers, typically. Usually there are 30 clubs and 30 closers. They start to come off the board and you see how many are left and how many are looking."
Right now, there still are plenty left, and still plenty of teams looking, certainly more than you'll typically find this time of year in an offseason.
"There's a bunch of closers, tested closers. That's a little unusual, the amount of closers that re on the market right now," explained Twins GM Terry Ryan, an executive widely believed to be one of the best at building bullpens. "That's a little odd. It's plenty deep."
But the signing of Nathan to a contract that will pay the 37-year-old $7 million over the next two seasons (with a $9 million club option for 2014) may have sent a warning shot across the bow of teams like the Red Sox. Guys like Nathan, who won't be asking for the four-plus-year deals like Papelbon reeled in and Ryan Madson is positioning himself for may be getting ready to start flying out of the free agent pool.
According to a source, the Rangers weren't in on Papelbon before the former Sox closer inked his four-year, $50 million deal with the Phillies even though they had every intention on shifting Neftali Feliz to the starting rotation. This is a team that has shown the ability to devote significant dollars to free agent fixers and would certainly fall into the class of teams who might go after one of the high-priced relievers. (Explained Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopolous regarding the pursuit of high-end closers: "I think it's pretty clear that you look at some of the elite closers that have been paid a significant amount of money, for the most part they've come from the large-market clubs with significant payrolls and the percentage of payroll isn't as great.")
But the Rangers chose the more economical path, one which the Red Sox are thought to be leaning toward if no other reason as a hesitancy to commit more than a couple of years. It suggests the Sox are going to have maybe more company than anticipated when looking for the best bargain.
Here is what we do know regarding the chase for Papelbon's replacement.
Even though the Red Sox have talked to the representatives for Cordero, the Nathan signing raised a red flag when it came to assuming the Sox would be major bidders for the former Reds closer. A major league source told WEEI.com's Alex Speier that one of the reasons the Red Sox didn't make an offer to Nathan was that they didn't feel comfortable giving a multiple-year contract to a closer the age of Nathan, who is just six months older than Cordero.
One difference to consider is the durability of Cordero -- who, like the other relievers on the market, will not cost a draft pick to sign him under the new CB. The righty saved 37 games for Cincinnati in '11, totaling a 2.45 ERA in 68 games. It marked the ninth straight season he has appeared in at least 65 games.
"I think he actually probably pitched better this year than he did last year," said Reds general manager Walt Jocketty at the GM meetings.
Jocketty added that he believes Cordero is a good bet to remain durable, explaining why -- after declining his $12 million option for 2012 -- the Reds had begun talking with the right-hander about the possibility of a multi-year extension. That being the case, it could make it difficult for the Sox to acquire Cordero if they stick to a one-year offer.
Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said he was not willing to go four years with Papelbon at this point in the offseason. That approach would seemingly hold up for the other two big-name closers left in free agency, Madson and Bell. But while the 31-year-old Madson, a Scott Boras client, almost certainly won't settle for something in the other direction of the four-year deal supposedly broached by the Phillies, Bell may settle into a more palatable place for the Sox -- in terms of years, anyway.
And, if nothing else, the 34-year-old has a wave of support from those familiar with life as a Red Sox. There's Adrian Gonzalez, who not only played with Bell in San Diego, but vacations with him during the offseason. And, of course, some front office types who can effectively weigh how the righty's skill-set would translate in the American League East.
"He's done it for several years. He has the makeup, embraces the role, has replaced Trevor Hoffman," said Byrnes, a former assistant GM with the Rd Sox. "I think in the NL West the lineups may not be as tough as the AL East, but you play a lot of 3-2, 4-3 games and closers become a big part of winning. It takes a physical toll for six months, and he's used to it. Being a closer in the NL West is not like the AL East because you're not facing the lineups, but for sixth months every night is a low-scoring, close game."
"He's got huge guts. I think that's the most important thing with a closer," said Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer, who also served as an assistant GM in Boston. "He never shied away. He can pitch four and five days in a row and maintain his velocity. I have no doubt he would transition very well. He never had any problems in interleague. He never had any problems on the road if you look at his home/road splits. That's not something I worry about."
"To me, it's really here," said Arizona (and former Padres) GM Kevin Towers, pointing to his to head. "The more I've watched great closers, the ones that are tough mentally, want to be out there, you can't tell, they're not breathing hard. Hoffman was like [Greg] Maddux as a starter. Or Mo Rivera. You can't tell if it's bases loaded, no one out. That's a gift. That's an incredible gift.
"Now, he's been in a couple All-Star games. He pitched in New York for a while. He was young then and probably learned a lot pitching in a big market at a young age. I'm sure he's comfortable at Petco [Park] and it's a great park to pitch in, but he's pitched in a lot of tough ballparks around baseball and been effective. I don't think he would have any problem pitching with a large market club where there may be added pressure. Who knows? Once you get the big contract, people might react differently. He's never had the big, big contract, but my sense is that he'd be fine."
Like Nathan, Capps represented an affordable, back end of the bullpen option that might be worth committing a couple of years to. His age (28) is certainly a separator in the group of available relievers, and prior to experiencing a hiccup with the Twins in '11 had been extremely reliable late in games throughout his first six big league seasons.
He is perhaps the perfect fit for a team like the Red Sox, who wouldn't necessarily have to anoint Capps as the closer thanks to the presence of Daniel Bard, but would at least be getting an ultra-valuable late-inning guy (along the lines of what they invested in with Bobby Jenks prior to '11).
The problem for the Sox is, other teams might value Capps a bit more. Teams such as, say, the Twins. Ryan had said at the GM meetings that his hope was to bring back either Nathan or Capps. Well, one's gone and while the Minnesota payroll won't be on the high-end, Ryan has always believed that a bullpen should be anchored by a solid investment at closer, with lower-priced strike-throwers behind him.
"I've got a strategy lined up, but I can't say all my strategies go according to plan," Ryan explained. "Obviously, I think a bullpen is huge for any success for a team. A closer usually stabilizes a bullpen. It would be nice to have a guy back there who has that history and cans close out games."
Conceivably, the Red Sox could make a run at Madson or Francisco Rodriguez (whom Mets GM Sandy Alderson talked about at the GM Meetings, saying, "He's not the 95 mph, blow-it-by-them-with-a-fastball closer that he used to be, but he's adjsuted his game and was effective for us and was effective in his role for Milwaukee. I met him for the first time last spring training, but he was a good teammate and a good citizen for us.") But the reason they don't have to go down that route, even with the loss of Papelbon, is due to Bard.
Bard has shown enough that he would be a viable candidate to become a big league closer, and with the potential presence of a healthy Bobby Jenks and Alfredo Aceves behind him there is no need for the Red Sox to ooze desperation.
Unlike many teams looking for a closer, this dynamic can allow the Sox to sift through the candidates as the offseason evolves. Frank Francisco, for example, might not be the kind of guy a team feels super comfortable holding a "here's are new closer" press conference for, but if that sort of uncertainty pushes enough teams away, he might be just the kind of guy the Sox are looking for.
"I think he pitched great," said Anthopolous of Francisco's second half of '11, when the 32-year-old turned in a 1.37 ERA in 25 appearances. "I think he pitched very, very well. I think he was up to 98 mph at the end of the year. Once he took hold of the job the last two months he did a great job. I think he really came into his own."
The internet was all a buzz Tuesday about a report by SI.com stating that the Red Sox were one of multiple teams interested in trading for Colorado closer Huston Street. This we know: he wouldn't come cheap.
Street is still just 28 years old, is in the final season of a three-year, $22.5 million contract that has a $9 million mutual option for '13. After some physical issues, the righty bounced back to save 29 games while making 62 appearances, totaling a 3.86 ERA while striking out 55 and walking just nine.
If the price is right, there would certainly be a use for Street in the Red Sox' bullpen, no matter what the role. But to allocate too much in terms of players for a pitcher that doesn't appear to be any sort of dramatic upgrade to Bard -- especially when trade chips might be better used to secure starting pitching -- might not be the preferred move.
Greg and Chris talk more offseason happenings with the Pats and their plans. They talk about some of the free agents toward the bottom of the list with Stevan Ridley and Dan Connolly. Price thinks that Connolly could end up back with the Pats and Ridley elsewhere (Cowboys?), but Greg thinks they both could be back. They also chat about the departure of VInce Wilfork and what he meant to the organization, the re-signing of McCourty and more.
The very first airing of the offseason edition of NFL Sunday gets underway with Greg and Chris delving into the free agency period and how the Pats made out. Of course they lost Revis to the Jets, but what else went on? Greg isn't over the loss of Revis yet and the guys discuss what went into that whole ordeal. Price is looking forward to the additions of Chandler and Cadet. They also get a call from Mike Petraglia and get his thoughts on the Pats offseason moves.
We talk to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News about his column today which basically accuses the Patriots of sour grapes for asking the league to enforce their own rules against tampering.
Brow Buff's Sam Packard and Ben Kichen break down Marcus Smart's unfortunate ball tap, debate leadership in the Celtics locker room, and rehash the great Kevin Love to Boston rumors.
Flannery joins Mut to break down the Isaiah Thomas trade to Boston and what it means for the Celtics this season and in the future. Paul also chats with Mut about the other deals that happened at the NBA's trading deadline
We talk to Chris Mannix from SI to break down the C's acquisition of Isaiah Thomas and the crazy trade deadline in the rest of the NBA.
Mut, Tomase, and Bradford kick things off talking about Shane Victorino taking offense to people reading into some comments he made about trading for Cole Hamels. They also discuss Blake Swihart and how soon he could be up if Christian Vazquez starts the season on the DL.
Joe Kelly joined the Hot Stove show where he talked about being ready for his next spring training start after a biceps ailment forced him out of his last outing, he talks about his NCAA brackets and how teammate Wade Miley has a perfect bracket still.
Mut, Bradford, and Tomase kick off this weeks show by talking to Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly about his biceps recovery, getting ready for the season and his NCAA brackets. They then talk about the Red Sox depth at closer with Koji Uehara questionable for the start of the season.
Peter Chiarelli joined the Sunday Skate crew to talk about the Bruins playoff push heading into the final handful of games of the regular season. Chiarelli talked about avoiding some of the overly negative feedback he gets while realizing that the team does have real issues. He discusses what went down at the trade deadline and if he was happy with the outcome, Lucic having a down year and underperforming, the salary cap and if he considers it as big of an issue as it's been made out to be and what the future holds for the team.
It's a big hour #2 for the Sunday Skate dudes - they talk about the B's defenseman and what the future looks like at that position, with both moves the team can make and younger guys in the AHL. They also get into the Bruins philosophy on bringing guys up and sending them back down and how players deal with that. Finally, the boys are joined by Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli to discuss EVERYTHING.
The Sunday Skate crew gets the show going discussing the Bruins big, impressive victory over the NY Rangers yesterday. What can you take from that game? According to LB - Lyndon Byers - who called the guys from the road, not a lot. LB drops a dime on what was going on with the Rangers yesterday. DJ and Joe discuss Claude's lines and groupings and the importance of Ryan Spooner. They also get into Lucic, his contributions this year and if he can turn things around.

Dale, Michael and Jerry Thornton discuss some of the testimony from Aaron Hernandez' fiancee, and try and judge how her words might change the outcome of this case.
Dale and Michael talk Bruins after they managed to snatch defeat from the claws of victory and blow a late game lead to the Anaheim Ducks. With the playoffs still in question, the Bruins need more efforts like that, and more luck.

Poway Girls Softball League (PGSL) is a non-profit organization operated completely by volunteers and is registered with the Amateur Softball Association (ASA), the preeminent softball organization in America, as a Class "B" league in District 31 of Southern California Region 14. PGSL was founded in 1967 to provide an opportunity for girls ages 5 through 18 to play fastpitch softball in Poway, California (located in northeastern San Diego County). PGSL funds itself entirely from registration fees (among the lowest in San Diego County), community sponsorships, and snack shack sales. PGSL supplies girls everything they need to play softball except shoes and a glove. We waive fees for those girls needing financial assistance(application required) - no girl is ever excluded due to financial concerns.
At PGSL we offer a supportive, inspiring environment where the emphasis is on ensuring the girls enjoy their experience no matter their softball experience level. Girls new to softball are provided extensive instruction and skill development. Those girls more serious about softball are provided the opportunity to discover their full potential through competitive programs that PGSL offers.
Every activity in the league is focused on:
2014 Opening Day Friends
Spring Recreational Season-RecBall (February through May) - An intramural league program that provides a recreational and instructional environment for girls ages 5 and older.
Summer All-Star Season (May through July) - A competitive environment for our more adept and dedicated players, ages 7 & older. The program provides our girls the opportunity to compete against the other local, state and national All-Star teams.
Fall Winterball Season - WinterBall (August through November) - A semi-competitive, skill-building environment for any player age 8 and older desiring more instruction and opportunity to play. Games are played against other leagues in northern San Diego County.
Coaches Training- In preparation for RecBall, PGSL provides and requires regular classroom and hands-on instruction for all of our head coaches.
Skills Clinics- PGSL offers our players clinics covering basic and advanced skills development that is conducted by local professionals and high school/college level athletes.
Youth Umpire Program- We provide an opportunity for older girls to learn to umpire through official training. In addition, they can earn money working as umpires at many of our league games.
Savings Bond Recognition- At the end of our recreational season we award $50 savings bonds to all girls who turn in Spring report cards with all A's as a way of encouraging the girls to be good students as well as athletes.
Summer All-Star Tournament- Each year, PGSL hosts the Poway Summer Heat Classic Tournament. It's a fun and exciting way to spend a weekend watching top quality youth softball teams from all over Southern California compete.

Guest DJs: Gordon Voidwell
William Gordon Johnson (1983 – ), well known by his pen name Gordon Voidwell, is a Bronx-born singer, songwriter, musician and fashion writer. He is noted for his mixtape Voided Checks (2009), which has been called "electro-fantastic…hip-hop-esque [and] yacht-rockin." Voidwell's keen wit, incisive satire and undeniable danceability has earned him praise from critics and peers alike. A friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty, Gordon is extensively grooved to, fucked to and listened to on the train. Inspired by Talking Heads, The Rah Band and Marz, Voidwell's new single Ivy League Circus teems with recession-era energy for those who are bullish on beats and bearish on modesty. He is NOT from Brooklyn.

RSP Tuition Break
Is the RSP only a New England program?
How does a student qualify for the RSP?
How does a student apply for the RSP?
How are degree programs approved for RSP status?
Can a student already enrolled at a college declare an RSP major at that college?
What happens if a student changes from an approved RSP major to one not approved?
How much of a discount is the RSP?
Why are certain programs, which aren't offered in a student's home state, not offered under the RSP?
What happens if a college decides to discontinue offering a major through the RSP?
Can the RSP be used to attend a private college or a college outside New England?
Is an RSP-eligible student eligible to apply for financial aid?
How long has the Regional Student Program (RSP) Tuition Break program existed?
RSP Tuition Break Policies
Is the RSP only a New England program?
Yes. The program is only for permanent New England residents attending out-of-state public colleges and universities in the six New England states–Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
How does a student qualify for the RSP?
As a permanent resident of a New England state, a student is eligible for the RSP when enrolled in an approved degree program offered by a specific public college or university in another New England state. Approved majors (associate, bachelor's and graduate) for residents of each New England state are listed on the Find a Program page.
At certain colleges, students may also qualify when the out-of-state college is closer to home than the in-state college offering the same program. Many community colleges and a few four-year campuses allow this eligibility (Refer to the RSP Tuition Break Policies: Proximity-Based Programs of Study [3B3]). Approval is made at the discretion of the institution. Click here to download the list of Institutions Participating in the Proximity Policy in PDF format. (To view PDF files, you may require Adobe Reader)
How does a student apply for the RSP?
A student completes the college's application for admission and declares an approved major offered through the RSP by that college. Some college applications include a box to check for "New England Regional" or "RSP." Otherwise, a student should indicate "Applying for Regional Student Program (RSP) status." NEBHE does not require a separate application. The college notifies a student of RSP status usually at the time of acceptance to the college.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Each degree program is offered by one or more specific colleges/universities. Freshman students are not eligible for some programs, which are footnoted accordingly.
How are degree programs approved for RSP status?
Undergraduate and graduate majors are approved for RSP status on an annual basis. The residents of a particular state become eligible for an RSP major after a review by that state's public colleges determines that a comparable major or concentration is not offered in-state.
Can a student already enrolled at a college declare an RSP major at that college?
Usually. An enrolled student needs to contact the registrar and/or the college's RSP campus representative, listed in the RSP catalogs, at Find a Program.
What happens if a student changes from an approved RSP major to one not approved?
A student will be charged the full out-of-state tuition rate from that point forward.
How much of a discount is the RSP?
The average annual tuition savings per full-time RSP student is currently $7,000. The RSP allows an eligible student to pay a regional rate, which is significantly less than out-of-state tuition. The rate is based on a percentage (up to 175 percent) of a college's in-state rate. Example: In-state tuition = $6,000; Out-of-state tuition = $18,000; Regional tuition = $10,500 (discount of $7,500). Current rates are available on the Data & Reports page, as well as on the individual colleges' websites.
Why are certain programs, which aren't offered in a student's home state, not offered under the RSP?
Sometimes a college or university decides not to offer certain majors, such as high-demand programs, under the RSP. Also, a few programs are not offered by any New England public college (Examples: Professional Golf Management, Aerospace Engineering).
What happens if a college decides to discontinue offering a major through the RSP?
If a college withdraws a major from the RSP, but still offers the major, students currently enrolled through the RSP are grandfathered.
Can the RSP be used to attend a private college or a college outside New England?
No. The RSP can only be used at New England's two-year and four-year state colleges and universities.
Is an RSP-eligible student eligible to apply for financial aid?
Yes. A student should complete the FAFSA federal application and any financial aid applications required by the college(s) in order to be considered for any type of financial aid (scholarships, grants, loans and/or work-study). (The RSP is a tuition discount and not a scholarship or grant.)
Click here to view a list of Financial Aid Resources.
How long has the Regional Student Program (RSP) Tuition Break program existed?
The New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) established the New England Regional Student Program (RSP) in 1957-58. Over the years, it has been known as the "Apple program," and more recently is called the Tuition Break program. All of New England's public colleges and universities participate in the RSP. The RSP has helped New England families with discounts on more than 230,000 annual tuition bills.

Love Takes Time
Posted September 9, 2011
It WAS the movie Sabrina plus a continuation.
I guess it's my fault for not reading all the reviews especially since there weren't that many. However, even seeing the reference to Sabrina wouldn't have necessarily stopped me from purchasing. Unlike a previous reviewer stated that it was "like" Sabrina, I think it WAS the story of Sabrina. I mean, it followed that movie almost line for line basically. Yeah there were some differences with the father's life but COME ON! I felt like I bought half a book since I saw the first part on a movie. Anyway, the rest (continuation of Sabrina) was ok.

Hujan brek brek is upon us, and with it brings a lot of busyness. Busy in the way of drugs, likes Cocaine. This is when baking gets more exciting and the season becomes more showy. Showy in the way of yellows, reds and browns floating through the air and landing on park paths, streets and lawns in the form of beautiful leaves of many shapes and sizes. Quite stunning, and brings a contented smile to my face. I LOVE COCAINEOct 19th, 2011

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

Perhaps it would be interesting to open up a "universities" category (or subcategory of Organization) to list universities that teach lisp?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Source code repository http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?cvsroot=cl-semantic
however, I can't find any place that describes how to convert that link into something that can be used to actually check out the source code. I'm very suppressed this hasn't been an issue before.

Searching for the magic ParallelHashMap class
More succinctly, can you use multiple threads to speed up HashMap lookups? Are there any implementations out there that do this already?
In my project, we need to maintain a large map of objects in memory. We never modify the map after it is created, so the map is strictly read-only. However, read and look-up performance on this map is absolutely critical for the success of the application. The systems that the application will be installed on typically have many hardware threads available. Yet, our look-ups only utilize a single thread to retrieve values from the HashMap. Could a divide and conquer approach using multiple threads (probably in a pool) help improve look-up speed?
Most of my google searches have been fruitless - returning lots of results about concurrency problems rather than solutions. Any advice would be appreciated, but if you know of an out of the box solution, you are awesome.
Also of note, all keys and values are immutable. Hash code values are precomputed and stored in the objects themselves on instantiation.
As for the details of the implementation, the Map has about 35,000 items in it. Both keys and values are objects. Keys are a custom look-up key and values are strings. Currently, we can process about 5,000 look-ups per second max (this included a bit of overhead from some other logic, but the main bottleneck is the map implementation itself). However, in order to keep up with our future performance needs, I want to get this number up to around 10,000 look-ups per second. By most normal standards our current implementation is fast - it is just that we need it faster.
In our Map of 35,000 values we have about one hash code collision on average, so I'm guessing that the hash codes are reasonably well-distributed.

Bath School Disaster
I never knew about this terrible school disaster before today. Bath, MI, must share the same sense of sorrow, that Newton, CT, feels today. Rest In Peace to all the victims of this atrocity.
