One problem I have with the criticism of evident strong bias in the lamestream media is a reluctance to name names. The perpetrators slink by, day after day, as the critics name a large amorphous thing called the media. Click Here if you Like this Comment
The active distortion of the news across the complicit mainstream news media has become too obvious to hide.This is a betrayal of professionalism and a betrayal of trust.The leftist news media are morally bankrupt as well as financially bankrupt.Their whitewash and coverup of the ugly betrayal of our troops and Ambassador in Benghazi is just the latest outrage. They have supported 6 weeks of lies, spin and manipulation of blame from the Obama regime.It is the lies and spin, stupid. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
It is disgusting. Check out all of the 'News' sites..........Benghazi is hard to find. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
I turned on Nightline last night, and saw the KKK story, with a hooded person screaming about obama. And I thought, you have to give the devil (ABC) their due, as they make yet another campaign contribution to hussein obama.But they are losing their subtle touch, hey?

It has moved to the top of the list on my brower now under "Latest Headlines" butJake Tapper is clearly the ONLY serious journalist at ABC. The real question is how stupid and uninformed could anyone possibly believe anything, anything that the Idiot-in-Chief is saying?And when are people going to notice that every Democrat president we have is a pathological liar?

Yesterday, our local rag, The Record, had a tiny article on the bottom of Page A, along side the PC Richard ad which took up nearly the entire rest of the page.Used to be called the Bergen County Record. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
If there has been a resurgence of Racism, as some in the Media have claimed, they have only themselves to blame. Where else do we hear proper criticism of this President to be Racist? If we mention 'Chicago', 'Food Stamps', 'Welfare', and many other properly defined words in the English Language, we're 'Racist' or 'speaking in code'. We see America dying, yet, the last I heard, 90 percent of Blacks are STILL going to be voting for this 'Man-Caused-Disaster'.Meanwhile that same media reports glowingly the words of parasites on society, who happen to be Black, squealing about 'Obama-phones' and 'Obama's Stash' (all paid with our tax-payer money) or the billions wasted on Solyndra and other 'Green' firms (How many Obama bundlers are tied to failed Green Firms AND to mid-East Terrorists?).America is dying the death of a thousand cuts, wielded by and in the name of, Blacks and some other 'self-identified' minority groups. If anger, no, FURY at the situation is Racist, then count me in.Benghazi is simply the last straw. Gee, thanks, Chrissy at MSNBC and others. For years I though I was tolerant and accepting, wanting these other groups to have a hand up and join me as equals in society. Now they can simply struggle for acceptance like my ancestors did. I don't give a damn anymore. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
"How can these people live with themselves?" It is probably quite easy for most of them to do so, since everything suggests that they are proud, not ashamed of their behavior. No doubt they see themselves as being on the side of the angels, and their adversaries -us- as being the true enemies of all that is good. One imagines that they often ask themselves the very same question: how can those people, i.e. us, live with themselves? Such is the depth of the divide between us and them.Perhaps there may be a few in the media who have their doubts - who are in some instances even actively opposed to the partisan propaganda that is peddled as news. But what are they to do? Speaking out would cost them in all kinds of ways, beginning for many with their employment. I am glad not to be in the position such people find themselves.The harvest of bias and untruth now being reaped is from a crop planted years ago and tended with care over an entire generation. Unless Americans recapture their universities and the educational system from the control of enemies of the American way of life, nothing but more of the same can be expected.

Did you see Geraldo on O'Reilly last night? He blamed Romney for not going after obama on the consulate attack - not the press. He defended obama for his stonewalling because of the upcoming election. He reasoned that Republicans would use that info for partisan reasons.Geraldo informed us that he is a Republican about a month ago. Does anyone believe that? He's a card-carrying member of the 4th Estate. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

Kate Moss Splashes Out $150,000 on NYE Spree
Filed under: Wealth
Kate Moss splashed out $150,000 on a last-minute New Year's Eve blowout in Thailand with her rock star boyfriend Jamie Hince. Moss has booked in for a week at the luxe Amanpuri resort in Phuket where she has rented a private villa with a full staff as well as a luxury yacht to cruise round the Andaman sea, the UK's Daily Star reports. For New Year's Eve the stunning supermodel spent about $45,000 on a lavish banquet. Moss has spent the last three New Year's Eves at the glamorous resort, situated in a coconut grove on a private beach. The paper reports that she wanted to make other plans this year but left it too late and found everything booked. "She's in a huff because she was desperate for somewhere new, but was turned down by top resorts around the globe who had no room left," a source tells the paper. "Kate's been moaning that's she's not happy going back to the same resort, but to make it exciting she'll do it in style and raise the roof." That's the spirit.

Forums >Look What I Can Do!>PB by nearly 3 minutes!
she runs like a girl
Last night I ran in the Eaton Electrical Downtown Dash in Burlington.
I don't normally brag but I ran a PB that was nearly 3 minutes better than my previous 10k PB.
I finished in 50:28 (previous PB: 53:17) and placed 2nd in my age group (20-24) and 13th over all for the women in a field of 90.
This was also my first race in this new age group.
The weather for the race was 85 F with 65% humidity.
I'm looking forward to racing this distance in the fall

Hi folks,
I'm trying to locate a copy of the Canadian anthem that used to play at the pavilion before the new movie hosted by Martin Short replaced the old one. Our family is from Winnipeg, Canada and although we know you Americans have many terrific versions of your own anthem, the one that used to play at the pavilion is by far the best version of our anthem.
I've heard it played on Mouse World Radio from time to time (just this afternoon again) and I've tried searching for a copy on google and youtube but with no luck.

What is AmeCon?
AmeCon is the UK's largest residential convention dedicated to the celebration of Japanese Animation and Comics, and the community that these media bring together. We try to be a little bit country, and a little bit rock'n'roll - well, maybe a lot rock'n'roll, but that's beside the point.
The weekend-long timetable is chock-full of attendee-run events providing new insights, or alternative viewpoints, on a variety of related subjects. Either way, they are a great way to meet likeminded people who love the same things you do.
Our infamous nightly parties provide ample opportunity to kick back and get your groove on with friends, old and new. Folks coming to AmeCon might only see each other once or twice a year, so we do everything we can to make it a weekend to remember!
Above all else, AmeCon is an event that is run by fans, for fans, and would be nothing without the fans. Every penny AmeCon receives goes into making the event that bit more special for the hundreds of attendees who return year on year. If you want to know more about AmeCon, have a poke about the site or the forum, or drop us an email!

CD/LP/Track Review
Agustí Fernández / Barry Guy / Ramón López: Morning Glory (2011)
Formed in 2005, the trio's previous release, Aurora (Maya, 2006), began bassist Barry Guy established their improvisation bona fides with saxophonist Evan Parker 's intellectual explorations and Mats Gustafsson 's noisier ones. Each player also has a dedication to classical and chamber musics and perhaps that is where these compositions and improvisations intersect.
Disc one, the studio session Morning Glory, is a combination of six composed pieces by Fernández and six group improvisations. While the compositions are influenced more by melody, the improvised parts stick to the trio's minimalist guidelines for music-making. That is, their brush strokes are nominal, like shodo or Japanese calligraphy. The trio performs simple melodies and improvised ballads, speaking softly with a very big brush. The music is a cross between the 1960s trios of Bill Evans and the modern work of Marcin Wasilewski .
The bonus CD, recorded live in 2009 at New York's Jazz Standard, finds the trio stretching out a bit from the punctiliousness of the studio set, slightly departing from its reserve. Playing the music first heard on Aurora, the three take a few liberties to move a bit more outward for the audience. Still, nothing detracts from the intimacy created by these masters.
Track Listing: CD1 (Morning Glory): La Nina de la Calle Ibiza; Morning Glory;
Unfinished Letter; Zahori; An Anonymous Soul; Perpetuum Mobile; Benito;
The Magical Chorus; Glade; Mourning A Sudden Appearance; Belvedere.
CD2 (Live in New York): Don Miguel; Odyssey; Can Ram;
David M; Aurora; No Ni Nó; Rounds.
Personnel: Agustí Fernández: piano; Barry Guy: bass; Ramón López: drums, percussion.
Record Label: Maya

Overeducated and Underemployed: An American Millennial Graduate
Christina Larmon
Three years later, with completion of a master's degree, an internship volunteering abroad for an NGO, and a published thesis, I find myself not far from where I began. The pursuit of the American dream has left me overeducated and underemployed.

New Jersey grocery stores can sell wine; Pennsylvania grocery stores are forbidden to sell wine. In Colorado it is legal to smoke marijuana! All these were put in place or maintained by governors working with legislatures.
What Black History Month Means to Me
Jeff Kurzon
Celebrating Black History Month is a way of learning more about yourself and the rich traditions of African-Americans who have made our city and nation so great. There are many references around New York City to African-American History and one of my favorites is literary.

It's Not Democracy If There Are No Choices On The Ballot

The Bismarck was the greatest warship ever built, with guns so powerful and accurate it could destroy an enemy ship while safely staying outside the line of fire. But the Allies had to sink it...or risk losing the war. William Shirer, famed World War II correspondent and author of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, captures every suspenseful moment of the perilous mission. Most tragic of all was the loss of the HMS Hood, the British Navy's star battleship, sunk by the Bismarck in just minutes. However, a mixture of luck and new technology-including radar-turned the tide in the Allies' favor.

This holds true in particular in order to explain as well the rather astonishing motor patterns which we observed within in vivo recordings which underlie peristaltic contractionsas well as the shape of the EPSPs at different forms of long-term stimulation, presented both here, at a well characterized synapse, the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) of the Drosophila larva (c.f. Figure 1). To this end, we have employed a reductionist approach and generated three dimensional models of single presynaptic boutons at the Drosophila larval NMJ. Vesicle dynamics are described by diffusion-like partial differential equations which are solved numerically on unstructured grids using the uG platform. In our model we varied parameters such as bouton-size, vesicle output probability (Po), stimulation frequency and number of synapses, to observe how altering these parameters effected bouton function. Hence we demonstrate that the morphologic and physiologic specialization maybe a convergent evolutionary adaptation to regulate the trade off between sustained, low output, and short term, high output, synaptic signals. There seems to be a biologically meaningful explanation for the co-existence of the two different bouton types as previously observed at the NMJ (characterized especially by the relation between size and Po), the assigning of two different tasks with respect to short- and long-time behaviour could allow for an optimized interplay of different synapse types. We can present astonishing similar results of experimental and simulation data which could be gained in particular without any data fitting, however based only on biophysical values which could be taken from different experimental results. As a side product, we demonstrate how advanced methods from numerical mathematics could help in future to resolve also other difficult experimental neurobiological issues.
- Graphical analyses in delay interaction networks (2013)
- Poster presentation: Twenty Second Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting: CNS*2013. Paris, France. 13-18 July 2013. Network or graph theory has become a popular tool to represent and analyze large-scale interaction patterns in the brain. To derive a functional network representation from experimentally recorded neural time series one has to identify the structure of the interactions between these time series. In neuroscience, this is often done by pairwise bivariate analysis because a fully multivariate treatment is typically not possible due to limited data and excessive computational cost. Furthermore, a true multivariate analysis would consist of the analysis of the combined effects, including information theoretic synergies and redundancies, of all possible subsets of network components. Since the number of these subsets is the power set of the network components, this leads to a combinatorial explosion (i.e. a problem that is computationally intractable). In contrast, a pairwise bivariate analysis of interactions is typically feasible but introduces the possibility of false detection of spurious interactions between network components, especially due to cascade and common drive effects. These spurious connections in a network representation may introduce a bias to subsequently computed graph theoretical measures (e.g. clustering coefficient or centrality) as these measures depend on the reliability of the graph representation from which they are computed. Strictly speaking, graph theoretical measures are meaningful only if the underlying graph structure can be guaranteed to consist of one type of connections only, i.e. connections in the graph are guaranteed to be non-spurious. We propose an approximate solution to improve this situation in the form of an algorithm that flags potentially spurious edges that are due to cascade effects and "three node" common drive effects in a network representation of bivariately analyzed interactions. As these two effects are responsible for a large part of spurious connections in bivariate analyses, their removal would mean a significant improvement of the network representation over existing bivariate solutions. Our approach is based on the detection of directed interactions and the weighting of these interactions by their reconstructed interaction delays. We demonstrate how both questions can be addressed using a modified estimator of transfer entropy (TE). TE is an implementation of Wiener's principle of observational causality based on information theory [1], and detects arbitrary linear and non-linear interactions. Using a modified TE estimator that uses delayed states of the driving system, one can mathematically prove that transfer entropy values peak if the delay of the state of the driving system equals the true interaction delay [2]. From this analysis, we derive a delay weighted network representation of directed interactions. On this network representation, potentially spurious interactions can be detected by analyzing sets of alternative paths between two endpoints in terms of their summed delays. The proposed algorithm may be used to prune spurious edges from the network, improving the reliability of the network representation itself and enhancing the applicability of subsequent graph theoretical measures. For the detection of "multi-node" common drive effects, that are not considered in this study, a theoretical solution exists as well, extending the power of the method, but this solution has not been implemented yet. We demonstrate the application of this algorithm to networks of interacting neural sources in magneto-encephalographic data, and show that roughly 30% of bivariate interactions in these data are potentially spurious, and thus alter graph properties. We conclude that the post hoc correction provided by our approach is a computationally less demanding alternative to a fully multivariate analysis of directed interactions, and preferable in cases were a multivariate treatment of the data is difficult due to the limited amount of data available.
- Learning more by sampling less: subsampling effects are model specific (2013)
- Poster presentation: Twenty Second Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting: CNS*2013. Paris, France. 13-18 July 2013. When studying real world complex networks, one rarely has full access to all their components. As an example, the central nervous system of the human consists of 1011 neurons which are each connected to thousands of other neurons [1]. Of these 100 billion neurons, at most a few hundred can be recorded in parallel. Thus observations are hampered by immense subsampling. While subsampling does not affect the observables of single neuron activity, it can heavily distort observables which characterize interactions between pairs or groups of neurons [2]. Without a precise understanding how subsampling affects these observables, inference on neural network dynamics from subsampled neural data remains limited. We systematically studied subsampling effects in three self-organized critical (SOC) models, since this class of models can reproduce the spatio-temporal activity of spontaneous activity observed in vivo [2,3]. The models differed in their topology and in their precise interaction rules. The first model consisted of locally connected integrate- and fire units, thereby resembling cortical activity propagation mechanisms [2]. The second model had the same interaction rules but random connectivity [4]. The third model had local connectivity but different activity propagation rules [5]. As a measure of network dynamics, we characterized the spatio-temporal waves of activity, called avalanches. Avalanches are characteristic for SOC models and neural tissue [6]. Avalanche measures A (e.g. size, duration, shape) were calculated for the fully sampled and the subsampled models. To mimic subsampling in the models, we considered the activity of a subset of units only, discarding the activity of all the other units. Under subsampling the avalanche measures A depended on three main factors: First, A depended on the interaction rules of the model and its topology, thus each model showed its own characteristic subsampling effects on A. Second, A depended on the number of sampled sites n. With small and intermediate n, the true A¬ could not be recovered in any of the models. Third, A depended on the distance d between sampled sites. With small d, A was overestimated, while with large d, A was underestimated. Since under subsampling, the observables depended on the model's topology and interaction mechanisms, we propose that systematic subsampling can be exploited to compare models with neural data: When changing the number and the distance between electrodes in neural tissue and sampled units in a model analogously, the observables in a correct model should behave the same as in the neural tissue. Thereby, incorrect models can easily be discarded. Thus, systematic subsampling offers a promising and unique approach to model selection, even if brain activity was far from being fully sampled.
- Cytoprotective functions of amyloid precursor protein family members in stress signaling and aging (2013)
- Poster presentation: Molecular Neurodegeneration: Basic biology and disease pathways Cannes, France. 10-12 September 2013. Background: The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is processed via two different metabolic pathways: the amyloidogenic and the non-amyloidogenic pathway, the latter of which leading to generation of the secreted N-terminal APP fragment sAPPα [1]. Previous studies from our group suggest that sAPPα exerts potent neuroprotective effects and inhibits stress-triggered cell death via modulation of gene expression, as well as by antagonizing different types of neurotoxic stress [2]. It was also observed that the biochemical processing of APP is downregulated during aging which in turn reduced the secretion of sAPPα [3]. Based on these observations, we have studied the potential physiological function of sAPPα/APP and APLPs (APP like proteins) on the regulation of age-associated, stress induced signaling pathways, apoptosis and senescence. Materials and methods: SH-SY5Y, PC12, IMR90 cells were used as cellular models. Depletion of APP, APLP1 (APP like protein 1) and APLP2 (APP like protein 2) in SH-SY5Y cells was achieved by stable lentiviral knockdown. To analyze the protective function of sAPPα, we have used conditioned supernatants of wild type APP overexpressing HEK cells and recombinant His-tagged sAPPα purified from yeast. The cells were treated with sAPPα prior to the addition of different stress stimuli (MG132, epoxomicin, UV, H2O2) after which cell death, gene expression and senescence were analyzed by MTT assays, caspase activity assays, Western blots and X-Gal staining respectively. Results: Our data show that sAPPα can antagonize premature senescence induced by repetitive short term induction of proteasomal stress in IMR-90 cells and apoptosis triggered by prolonged proteasomal stress and other death stimuli in PC12, SH-SY5Y and IMR90 cells which was accompanied by a sAPPα-dependent inhibition of the JNK stress signaling pathway. In contrast, no significant changes in cell viability and apoptosis were observed when APP knockdown cells were pretreated with sAPPα. Conclusions: Our observations suggest that sAPPα can antagonize both apoptosis and cellular senescence and requires expression of holo-APP to mediate its cytoprotective effects. They also support the notion that the physiological function of APP is linked to modulation of neuronal and brain aging.
- Less invasive surgery of the proximal aorta (2013)
- Oral presentation: 23rd World Congress of the World Society of Cardio-Thoracic Surgeons. Split, Croatia. 12-15 September 2013. Background: Partial upper sternotomy (PUS) is established less invasive approach for single and double valve surgery. Reports of aortic surgery performed through PUS are rare. Methods: The records of 52 patients undergoing primary elective surgery on the proximal aorta through PUS between 2005 and 2011 were reviewed. Patients mean age was 57 years, 35% were in NYHA Class III or IV, 59% had recent cardiac decompensation, and 17% had pulmonary hypertension. The PUS was taken down to the 4th left intercostal space in 44 patients (85%). Results: No conversion to full sternotomy was necessary. The aortic cross-clamp, cardiopulmonary bypass and operative times averaged 136 ± 20 min., 186 ± 36 min. and 327 ± 83 min., respectively. In eight patients, the right axillary artery was cannulated for establishing cardiopulmonary bypass; the others were cannulated centrally. All patients except one received a procedure on the ascending aorta, either replacement in 30 (58%) or reduction aortoplasty in 21 (40%). Aortic root replacement was additionally performed in 31 patients (60%), including David in 20 (38%) and Ross procedure in 6 (11.5%). The aortic arch was replaced either partially in 5 (10%) or totally in 3 (6%) patients, in moderate hypothermia employing antegrade cerebral perfusion. Additional procedures, included mitral valve repair in 15 (29%) patients and coronary grafting. Ventilation time, intensive care unit and hospital stay averaged 17 ± 12 hours, 2 ± 1, and 11 ± 9 days. Chest drainage was 470 ± 380 ml/24 hours. Permanent neurologic deficit did not occur. Wound dehiscence was observed in a single patient (2%). Thirty-day and hospital mortality were not observed. Conclusions: Less invasive surgery on the aortic root, ascending aorta and aortic arch can be performed safely and reproducibly. Potential benefits include a minimized risk of wound dehiscence and reduced postoperative bleeding. The PUS does not compromise the quality of the operation.
- Durability of mitral valve reconstruction using the cosgrove edwards annuloplasty band at 5 years (2013)
- Oral presentation: 23rd World Congress of the World Society of Cardio-Thoracic Surgeons. Split, Croatia. 12-15 September 2013. Background: In the past, questions have been raised, whether an open flexible annuloplasty band can reliably prevent recurrent mitral valve regurgitation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the durability of mitral valve repair at midterm, using the Cosgrove-Edwards annuloplasty band in a homogenic patient cohort. Methods: From January 2004 to December 2007, 157 consecutive patients with degenerative mitral valve disease were included in the study. All had quadrangular resection of a P2 prolapse and annuloplasty with a Cosgrove-Edwards annuloplasty band. Clinical and echocardiography follow-up was complete. Results: There was no intraoperative or 30 day mortality. After a mean follow-up of 5.0 ± 1.9 years, survival was 94.3%. At midterm, freedom from reoperations was 98.9%, freedom from thromboembolism was 97.5% and freedom from endocarditis was 99.4%. Echocardiography follow-up showed recurrent mitral valve regurgitation higher than grade 2 in two patients. Mean ejection fraction was 60.3 ± 10.2%, left atrial diameter was 42 ± 7 mm, mean gradient was 3.2 ± 1.4 mmHg, effective orifice area was 3.3 ± 1.3cm², mitral leaflet coaptation length was 7.5 ± 1.9 mm and mitral leaflet tethering height was 6.2 ± 2.3 mm. Conclusion: Mitral valve repair using the Cosgrove annuloplasty band for degenerative mitral valve disease provides an effective and durable form of reconstruction.
- Das gesprochene Prager Deutsch in seiner letzten Phase (2013)
- Das Prager Deutsch wurde schon oft erwähnt, aber wenig beschrieben. In diesem Aufsatz wird die letzte Form dieses Deutschen dargestellt, wie sie in den 30er und 40er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts gesprochen wurde, als deutsche Standardsprache der Länder der böhmischen Krone. Die Unterschiede zum neutralen Standarddeutschen sind sehr gering. Es gibt wenige tschechische Einflüsse, kaum Übereinstimmungen mit dem süddeutschen und österreichischen Substandard, aber Parallelen zum nördlichen Standarddeutschen. Heute ist das Prager Deutsch fast ausgestorben, da es nach 1945 nicht mehr weitergegeben wurde.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland at the Royal Opera House
From to
Christopher Wheeldon's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland arrived on the stage in 2011 with a burst of colour, theatrical magic and inventive choreography.
It was The Royal Ballet's first full-length work since 1995 and was instantly acclaimed as a classic.
Joby Talbot's score combines sweeping melodies, which gesture to ballet scores of the 19th century, with contemporary effects. Bob Crowley's wildly imaginative sets and costumes draw on puppetry, projections and masks to bring Wonderland to life.
Alice encounters a cast of extraordinary characters down the rabbit hole: from the highly-strung Queen of Hearts, who performs a hilarious rendition of the famous Rose Adagio from The Sleeping Beauty; to dancing playing cards; a sinuous caterpillar and a tap-dancing Mad Hatter. There is a love narrative for Alice and the Knave of Hearts, and they dance a tender pas de deux at the close of Act II. But the ballet does not avoid the darker undercurrents of Lewis Carroll's story – a nightmarish kitchen and an eerily disembodied Cheshire Cat.

This insipid science fiction musical concerns a group of students paying their way through school by forming a pop band. The group is led by Olivia Newton-John, and organist Vic Cooper has invented an instrument called the "tonaliser." The sonic vibrations from the invention causes an extra-terrestrial (Roy Dotrice) to beam up the group to entertain the Alphoid population. The film title refers to the group name. Newton-John would go on to a successful singing and acting career, most notably in the 1978 musical Grease. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Kluttz appointment could help struggling transportation museum
SPENCER Will having former Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz at the helm of the Department of Cultural Resources help the troubled N.C. Transportation Museum?
It certainly wont hurt, museum supporters say.
Gov.-elect Pat McCrory on Thursday appointed Kluttz to head the department, which oversees 27 state historic sites including the Spencer museum.
Down from 18 full-time employees to six, the struggling museum has lost two executive directors within a year and watched the state slash its annual budget allocation from $1.2 million to $300,000.
Attendance plummeted when the museum began charging admission for the first time in its history, an effort to make up the cut in state funding.
Roy Johnson, president of the museums nonprofit support foundation, said he does not expect Kluttz to resolve the museums financial issues. The General Assembly will determine funding for the museum next year.
But having a Rowan County native leading the department should bode well for the facility, Johnson said.
She has firsthand of knowledge of the museum, what it is and what its potential is, he said.
The museum and foundation have worked to establish a good relationship with the Department of Cultural Resources, Johnson said. But many people in state government are not familiar with the museum and dont understand its importance to state history, he said.
With Kluttz, no introductions are necessary.
Weve been working with cultural resources and the legislature to make them aware of what the museum means to North Carolina and the region, and having another person who is well-acquainted with our mission is certainly a positive, Johnson said.
The museum is preparing a five-year business plan, due to Kluttz in February, that will outline how the operation can move forward. Kluttzs department will present the plan to the legislature.
Likely, it will recommend a mix of state funding, private contributions and money that can be earned on-site through admission and rental fees.
We are hoping, really, for some stability in what the state can commit to on an annual basis, Johnson said. That will allow the museum to move forward without being as concerned about basic survival.
Johnson said Kluttzs greatest challenge will be her limited department budget, which has been cut repeatedly during the recession.
Culture certainly pales in comparison to health and human services needs, yet we know that cultural resources are key to a good quality of life, Johnson said. They attract people to the region and they give children a better balance. They are awfully important.

(contd from above box) conversations with the Homewood folks, they conceded one half of the $100. pet fee charging me $50. plus $3.50 sales tax. Since we always travel with our dog, we are used to pet fees. However in the last 8 years, we have never paid more than $25./ night. So now I find myself in the hole for $28.50.

This post will describe the best practices of how to promote a Google gadget, but most of the things I mention are equally useful for any kind of widget promotion.
Google Gadget Promotion 101
Let's get right to a couple of obvious things first so that we don't waste any time…
If your Google gadget is not useful to anyone, it will not do well no matter how well you promote it. It is better to begin again with a new useful gadget than to promote one that is not useful to anyone. What makes a Google gadget useful? It must somehow pleasure someone. It must make them laugh, make their day easier, provide information that is not available elsewhere, entertain them, or be fun to interact with. Ask anyone other than you to try it and tell you what they think. A useful gadget is amazingly easy to promote. The first step in Google gadget promotion is to determine honestly if your gadget is worth promoting.
Is it useful?
If yes start promoting.
If not, start over, make a new gadget. Promoting your gadget won't help.
Know your audience:
The audience of a Google gadget is in large part iGoogle users. iGoogle is a personalized homepage. This means that only the owner of that page can see your gadget. I want to say that again. Only the owner of the iGoogle page can see that iGoogle page. It is not a public profile that others can see. Think about that when designing and creating your gadget. A great example of this would be the use of viral installers (those little buttons under gadgets that say "get this widget").
If there is only one person at a time seeing your gadget, then there is no reason to have a "get this widget" button because they already have it.
These buttons or viral installers are not appropriate for Google gadgets the vast majority of time. It is not useful and it takes up space. Space is what you have the least of in your widget so use it wisely to be useful and pleasant to the users of the widget.
Does your Google gadget have a viral installer?
If yes, get rid of it and make a iGoogle gadget specific version of your widget that does not include the "get this widget" button.
If no, continue.
The Google gadgets that are the most popular are also the Google gadgets that are the most simple. Bells and whistles are not often appropriate for a Google gadget. They can have bells and whistles by visiting your site if they want. Gadget users want the basic functionality of your website on their homepage, they do not want your website on their homepage. A simple search box is virtually always more universally used than a fancier type of gadget. There are millions of users of the Wikipedia search gadget. This gadget is just a searchbox that redirects to Wikipedia… Notice the lack of any dancing elves or branding overkill? You should also notice that it is small and simple. The overall reason this widget is used by millions is that is provides a simple and useful interface to information that is used by alot of people. It doesn't need flashy design elements. It does it's job. It is useful.
Okay, let's get to the promotion guide…
Google Gadget Promotion
The most important part of gadget promotion is usefulness and functionality, but what is the next important thing?
Representation in the Google gadget directory:
The way that most users find gadgets is the Google gadget directory. The single largest mistake that I have seen people make is to not submit their gadget to the directory. If you are not in the Google gadget directory, users will not find you there. To be more clear, if you are not in the Google gadget directory then your gadget is not represented in the single most used place that users find gadgets. There is a hundred million or so users using the Google gadget directory. I can name dozens of Fortune 1000 companies who do not understand this. If somebody goes to the Google gadget directory and searches for your exact brand name they will not find you unless you have submitted your gadget to the directory. The reason so many people (and particularly large brands) are not represented in the Google gadget directory is because they trust their widget spread to media companies who use viral installers.
It is important to know that just because a user has the capacity to install your gadget on iGoogle does not mean that your gadget is represented in the Google gadget directory.
Search for your gadget or your brand name in the Google gadget directory
If it is there continue.
If it is not there, submit it to the directory
How your gadget or widget is presented to people is the number one factor in if they will even try it out. Let's look in detail at what presentation options we have on the Google gadget platform.
Description: What you say about your gadget in your description is very important and should be concise and describe the gadget and it's usefulness quickly and simply. But people won't even read or bother to see your description unless they like the…
Thumbnail: Each Google gadget has a thumbnail. This is a small image that represents your gadget. This is one of the most important pieces of promotion you have. It has to get a point across and it has to stand out from the other thumbnails users are presented with. The first step to having an effective thumbnail is to actually have a thumbnail. Tens of thousands of gadget do not even have a thumbnail image! When a gadget does not have a thumbnail then Google displays a default thumbnail (image on left). If your gadget is based on a feed then it also shows a default image (shown on right). If there is no distinction between you and other gadgets, there is a less likelihood that a user will even click to your gadget description page. To illustrate this point, let's search for "SEO" in the Google gadget directory… Of the first 5 results, only one has a thumbnail. See how the others just sort of blend together and seem sorta "blah"? When someone searches for anything in the Google gadget directory the only visual indication they will get of your gadget is the thumbnail.
They have to click again before they see the other visual indication of your gadget (the screen shot which will will speak of in a moment). This means that the first visual indication of your gadget a user receives is the thumbnail image. The thumbnail is important.
To have a thumbnail in your gadget requires only one line of code… thumbnail="urlofyourimage"
The specs of what a thumbnail should be are provided by Google as…
Thumbnails are used in the content directory to give users a preview of a gadget. They should capture the main functionality of your gadget without showing it in its entirety. The value for this attribute is a string that gives the URL for a gadget thumbnail. This must be a well-formed URL, not a relative URL. This image must be on a public web site that is not blocked by robots.txt. PNG is the preferred format, though GIF and JPG are also acceptable. Thumbnails should be 120×60 pixels. They should not include title bars.
Does your gadget have a thumbnail?
If yes continue
If no, add a thumbnail. The directions of how to do so are provided by Google here.If that page seems confusing, you may want to start with my Google gadget tutorial.
Screen Shot: The screen shot of a Google gadget is displayed to a potential user when they are asked if they want to install a gadget and it is also displayed in the Google gadget directory description page for that gadget. The screenshot should show visually what the gadget will look like on the users homepage. Here is what Google says about the screenshot in their documentation….
This is a string that gives the URL for a gadget screenshot. This must be a well-formed URL, not a relative URL. This image must be on a public web site that is not blocked by robots.txt. PNG is the preferred format, though GIF and JPG are also acceptable. Gadget screenshots should be 280 pixels wide. The height of the screenshot should be the "natural" height of the gadget when it's in use. This helps users understand how much space a gadget will consume on their screen before they add it to their page. The screenshot should not have any whitespace above the gadget's blue header bar. Screenshots should show your full gadget, including its title bar, but nothing else. Alternatively, you can screenshot the gadget with the edit window open. Screenshots should not be resized or cropped. For quality and consistency, Google may take its own screenshots of a given gadget.
Let's take a look at a screenshot on a Google gadget description page…
This is a Google gadget from Google itself. The image is the screenshot image. It shows a potential user what the gadget will look like on their homepage. It is always worth looking at official Google gadgets to see what they are doing. They are well aware of what works and what does not. Often by just looking at how a gadget built by Google is listed can tell you alot.
Does your gadget have a screenshot?
If yes, continue
If no, add a screenshot that follow the guidelines I quoted above.
Other directories that list Google gadgets:
Your gadget should be in as many directories as possible. Here is a list of places to submit your Google gadget.
Display your gadget on your website
The best way to introduce your gadget to the world is through your own website, or through already existing interactions between yourself and your customers or users. There are different ways to accomplish this.
One way is to simply have a page dedicated to different ways that a user can interact with your website.
A great example of this is the website Sphinn, where they have a specific page that highlights different ways users can interact with their site. It is important not only to have page like this, but to make that page prominent. Sphinn accomplishes this by listing this page in their top navigation.
This is smart for a couple of reasons, one so that people can find it, and two, because gadgets, like webpages are listed in relevance in the Google gadget directory. The same algorithm that also ranks gadgets (I will speak more on this later).
Another way is to use existing interactions between your website and your users to promote your gadget.
An example of this would be a commerce website that takes payments. If you take payments, then you also give receipts. Consider mentioning your gadget on your receipts or "thank you for your purchase" page. Even better, give them a reason to use it. Consider saying something like "save 20 percent on items bought through our Google gadget".
Yet another way to use your website is to actually display information through a Google gadget. Look at your sidebar, what are you showing? Using Sphinn.com as an example again, they are displaying the "Top 10 most Sphunn in What's New" which is an ever changing list of what stories have been voted on the most that are not yet promoted to the front page. That information could be shown in a gadget that people can grab.
The popular news site Digg is a great example of how to do this. They have the very same type of scenario. The have information to show their users in a sidebar. They are showing that information inside a widget.
This tactic is very successful.
Is your gadget mentioned on your website?
If yes continue
If no, put it on your website.
The best place to get information about Google is Google itself, here is what they have to say about promoting your gadget.
Here is another Google page about what users like to see in their gadgets.

1999 Toyota RAV4 Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 12 reviews
The 1999 Toyota Rav4 remained the same as the 1998 with no noticeable changes. Still available was the 2-door soft-top as well as the 2- and 4-door hard top available in 2- or all-wheel drive.
The 1999 model remained fun to drive, although lacking in the peppiness available in cars of similar weight (2723 pounds). The engine is a 2.0-liter 4I capable of 127 horsepower. A full spare is included, and the transmission is available as automatic or 5-speed manual.
Fuel economy is estimated at 22/26, but reviewers reported getting up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway.

Sunshine Spa Perfume Oil Arabian Musk -- 0.25 fl oz
Arabian Musk Oil
I used to use this perfumed oil 20 years ago. Then suddenly I couldn't find it anymore. I was so happy to find it on Vitacost. It is exactly the same scent as years ago and the price is right! Thank you Vitacost!
October 27, 2011
Very Nice
Not at all what I expected from something with a name like Arabian Musk. Much more subtle and more what I would call a "skin" musk. Very soft and nice but not very long lasting.
October 2, 2011
The oils are too watered-down.
June 30, 2010
warm scent
Really enjoy this oil,it's just as good as the vanilla one,would highly recommend it.
March 25, 2010
Highly Subjective
This is a matter of personal taste- the scent was cloying. Not something I enjoyed smelling on my skin. Not terrible, just not me.

As a family grows, love multiplies
Thursday, March 14, 2013Peanut Butter in my Hair
I always knew I wanted a larger family. Four kids just felt right to me. Feeling right doesn't ensure confidence and with every single pregnancy I have always feared what if I was wrong? What if we ruin the good family dynamic we have by adding one more?
When I was pregnant with my second I felt so disconnected and separated as I went into the hospital for her birth. How could I be having another baby, how could I love another baby? My baby was at home.
A friend, who had recently had her second, told me not to worry. You heart doesn't divide when you have more children, it grows bigger to add each one.
This past Monday my heart grew again as we welcomed our fourth little bundle into this world. Again, I have a two-year-old at home who I worry about. Now I'm not worried if I could love them both, I worry about her missing mommy. I worry about her taking advantage of the lack of routine. I miss her cuddles and her kisses. I worry that we have changed her by giving her a sibling.
That's of course true. We have changed her, and our other children and ourselves. We all we need to learn to navigate these new roles and we will all watch our hearts grow. Sometimes there are growing pains, especially when you throw a time change in the mix! No one is sleeping.
Lack of sleep means that tantrums are on the rise and patience is on the fall. Everyone is crabby and not themselves.
Then our little guy lets out a squeak and the two-year-old freezes "Uh oh! uh Oh! Bay-bee" and runs to him and starts shushing him. Everyone gathers around and wants to see him. The toddler must kiss his head, and cheek and fingers and whatever she can reach. The big kids want to hold him and kiss him. My heart it grows even bigger watching their hearts grow.
So while the chaos and the tension and the messes may be growing while we navigate this new path, it's surpassed by the love, joy and let's be honest, the noise.

PAX, W.Va. - Donnie Williams and four other men stood in 18 inches of snow, wrestling with a tree trunk 18 inches thick.
That tree, felled by the snow and winds that tore through Appalachia Monday night and Tuesday morning when superstorm Sandy met land, was across a power line and into the road, cutting off residents of this dead-end road in the small Fayette County town of Pax.
The five men, neighbors, had been at it with chainsaws for hours Tuesday morning and had just started to see progress around 11 a.m.
Someone murmured something about needing to complain to the fire department about the tree.
"I just need to get out of this hollow," Williams said.
Williams wanted to find a place with electricity for himself, his wife and their two kids to spend the night.
"You can't have little ones in a house without power," he said.
The night before, when Williams left work at 2 a.m. and came home to find the road impassable, he had parked at the interstate and walked the two miles home.
"You couldn't see it, but you could hear it - there were trees coming down left and right," he said. "It was weird, I'll tell you that."
In Fayetteville, which saw at least 15 inches of snow, every business appeared to be closed except the Vandalian restaurant, which was serving a full menu despite the lack of heat in the dining room.
It will stay that way despite the power outage.
A generator is keeping the refrigerated food from spoiling.
"I've got to," owner Porter Jarrard said. "I have thousands and thousands of dollars tied up in that fridge."
He planned to camp out in the restaurant to keep the generator running and to guard against theft. He said he would sleep on the dining room floor.

Below you will find a few software defined radio examples implemented in the GNU Radio Companion. They are very simple yet functional examples I created while I was learning GNU Radio and SDR – I hope they can be useful to others too, who are learning GNU Radio and/or software defined radios.
You will find that in many of the examples tuning is done using a frequency translating FIR filter rather than changing the USRP frequency. This is because on some daughterboards (e.g. WBX) tuning is not fast enough for the user moving a GUI slider. If you are only using a daughterboard that is fast enough you can conveniently change the flow graph to tune the USRP directly and remove the frequency translating filter.
If you are looking for theoretical material for learning digital signal processing and software defined radios see Suggested Reading on the GNU Radio website. If you are an absolute newbie to SDR (like I was when I started) and haven't even got a clue of what quadrature signals are, I suggest you start with Quadrature Signals: Complex, But Not Complicated and the excellent tutorials at Complex2Real.com.
The examples are hosted on Github, see csete/gnuradio-grc-examples or create a local clone using
git clone https://github.com/csete/gnuradio-grc-examples.git
The repository contains a "uhd" branch, which uses the new Universal Hardware Driver and GNU Radio from the git repository. In order to switch to the uhd branch type:

Narrow Band FM Receiver
This is a simple narrow band FM receiver with two NBFM demodulators to allow switching between 5kHz and 2.5kHz deviation:
AM Receiver
This is a simple AM receiver featuring a variable low pass filter and automatic gain control with fixed rate and levels:
SSB/CW Receiver
This is a simple SSB/CW receiver featuring a tunable band pass filter and automatic gain control with fast/medium/slow rate:
All-in-one AM/FM/SSB/CW Receiver

Bandpass filtering
Recording IQ data using dynamic file names
Recording IQ data in GNU Radio companion is very easy, we simply add a filesink to the flow graph and connect it to the data we want to record. To prevent previously recorded files to be deleted when we restart the flow graph we can use the current date and time to generate a unique filename every time the GNU Radio flow graphs is started. The usage of the Python datetime module for this purpose is explained in Dynamic File Names in GNU Radio Companion.
The flow graph shown below implements a simple WFM receiver for NOAA APT downlink and a simple IQ data recorder using this datetime trick.
To play back the recorded IQ data we simply replace the USRP source in the receiver with a file source and a throttle block, see more in Playback of the Recorded IQ Data.
Example GRC files for recording and playback are also included in the GIT repository – they are called xyz_rec.grc and xyz_play.grc.
NOAA APT decoder
A simple prototype for decoding Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) from the NOAA polar orbiting weather satellites is presented in this post. Instead of WAV file input you can connect it directly to the output of a WFM receiver like the one presented in the previous section. Be sure to use the correct sample rates in the band pass filter and the first resampler! The sample rate for the decoder must be 9.6 ksps which should be clear if you read the description of how the decoder works.
Sorry there is no GRC file, but it should be very easy to reproduce from the screenshot.

Definition of omasum in English:
Line breaks: oma¦sumPronunciation: /əʊˈmeɪsəm
( plural omasa /-sə/)
Zoology - The muscular third stomach of a ruminant animal, between the reticulum and the abomasum. Also called psalterium.More example sentences
- By definition, foregut fermentors comprise animals with a pregastric fermentation chambers such as the rumen, reticulum, and omasum of ruminants and diverticula or fermentative sacs of other ruminant-like mammals.
- The stomach of mouse deer is three chambered (lacking a well-developed omasum), and these animals are ruminants.
- To do this they are doing experiments in small chambers, called parabiotic chambers, that use stomach tissue from sheep to simulate that of the rumen and the omasum, two of the four compartments in a cow's stomach.
early 18th century: from Latin, literally 'bullock's tripe'.

Free program at ASU will focus on software security
Augusta, GA – The Internet threat has shifted. What used to be a playground for hackers is now a borderless abyss of organized crime fueled by financial gain.
The James M. Hull College of Business and the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Augusta State University are sponsoring a security program on Friday, March 16, from 1-3 p.m. in 170 University Hall.
Patrick Gray, senior security strategist for Cisco Systems, will present I am Who I am. Maybe at the beginning of the program. A 20-year veteran of the FBI, Mr. Gray will explore the current Internet threat by highlighting the newest cyber criminals and examining the latest tactics employed by these predators. He will address how the bureau interacts with this new crime element and how we can prepare our infrastructures to stave off attacks and protect businesses.
The free event is presented by the Greater Augusta Chapter of the Information Systems Security Association, and registration will begin at 12:45 p.m. in University Hall.
For more information, contact Joanne Sexton, assistant professor of computer science in ASU's Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, at 706-737-1672.

I made this lil' number on my dressmakers manneqin. I couldn't use a pattern because I only had a weeny amount of fabric and didn't think I could find one that would work.
I just gathered the fabric into rough, vaguely matching pleats and attached it to a wide waist-band. Not being one to really think things through though, the back is a bit of a mess – zip, hook and eye are all a bit of a mash, but the main thing is how it looks from the front!
The hem was tricky because I didn't have anything to turn under – I wanted to keep the length and finish it without breaking up the stripes. Problem solved with a narrow band of brown binding to match the fabric.
I have to admit it's taken me about a year to finish this skirt so it's with massive sigh of relief that I finally finished this project!
Fabric is a printed cotton/stretch blend

Google Translate bug mixes up Heath Ledger, Tom Cruise
UPDATE: Google representatives informed CNET News.com on Thursday that this "internal issue with Google Translate" has been fixed.
Gawker has unearthed a rather odd bug in the Google Translate software: its English-to-Spanish translator converts the name of the actor Heath Ledger, who died tragically on Tuesday, to the name of another actor--Tom Cruise. So if you enter in "I will miss Heath Ledger," Google Translate will come back with "Voy a perder Tom Cruise."This looks like a simple bug in the system, perhaps the work of a bored Googler somewhere in the … Read more
