text: Thanks for sharing this information and for all your hard work on this issue! It's reassuring to know the USFSA leadership is at least actually preparing for the June ISU Congress beforehand and attempting to coordinate with other federations in advance. I still would like a public statement about where they stand on the short program issue and what they intend to do about it. But at least this tells us they're doing something. TBH, things had reached the point that I feared the U.S. and other federation representatives might walk into the Congress in June with their brains on hold and rubber stamps in hand, ready to sign anything Cinquanta presented.

As expected, the Oakland Raiders are releasing Kamerion Wimbley. Multiple reports confirm that the Raiders have informed the pass rusher that he will be released, making him a free agent. Wimbley signed a five-year, $48 million deal with the Raiders last season but they were unable to keep him with their salary cap situation.
With 16 sacks in the last two seasons, Wimbley immediately becomes the best pass rusher on the market and there will be plenty of interest in him from the teams that missed out on Mario Williams.
Wimbley is a former first round pick by the Cleveland Browns in the 2006 NFL draft. He spent his first four seasons in Cleveland before playing for the Raiders the last two seasons.

Nominated by May 1503 (under Henry VII)
Allied, through his father, with Edward IV, Thomas Grey was treated with suspicion by Richard III and, initially Henry VII. Working his way back into royal favour, Grey, a talented sportsman, played a prominent part in jousts at Court, a talent which endeared him to Henry VIII. Became Lord Master of Princess Mary's Council in 1524. In 1528 appointed Constable of Warwick Castle and in 1529 Constable of Kenilworth Castle.

"I've always loved assistant characters. I've written them before — in Secrets in the Trade and If Memory Serves. I like writing about very unequal relationships where one person seems to have all the power and yet that character cares very much what that powerless person thinks of them and how they negotiate that space."
The third major ingredient of Buyer & Cellar is its director, Stephen Brackett, and you have to ask how he manipulated such a nuanced performance from his star. He opted for dirt-kicking modesty: "Listen, when you're working with Michael and that script, it's like 'Let me not screw this up.' That was my M.O. the entire time.
"I just think the world of Michael. A great thing about the transfer is, with time, he has been able to get even deeper with the material. I was blown away by him. I just find his performance so rich and fulfilling. The beautiful thing about working with him is that it's a collaboration from Day One. We knew from the very beginning that we wanted to make this something that was tailored to Michael and showcased him, so we just started off with a conversation. We would bounce ideas off each other. The result of what you see is really a conversation between Michael and me.
Considering the intimate affection that greeted Urie's opening, it might well have been a cluster of BFFs. The evening was far starrier than most Off-Broadway liftoffs. Numbering among the push-over converts were Nick Jonas, whom a Broadway-debuting Urie tried to trip on the corporate ladder in How To Succeed; Roma Torre; Oscar-nominated Gabourney Sibide; "Queer as Folk" folks Michelle Clunie and Randy Harrison (the latter just co-starred with Urie in a caper comedy called "Such Good People" in the time it took Buyer & Cellar to switch theatres); Noah Robbins, from Tolins' Secrets of the Trade; Peter and the Starcatcher's adapter (Rick Elice) and co-director (Roger Rees); and, author of "Blown Sideways Through Life," Claudia Shear.
Two of Urie's "Ugly Betty" co-stars, Vanessa Williams and Mark Indelicato, showed, and he spent a lot of party time with them in appreciation. He has credited Williams with helping him go from a bit part in the pilot to series regular all four seasons of the show. For Williams, who struck up instant chemistry with him, that was a no-brainer. "He's the one I knew would be incredible — we couldn't let him go," said Williams. "This is my second time seeing it. I saw him at the Rattlestick. I'm so excited that it's actually moving to the bigger theatre. He's so good and does different stuff. Angels in America and The Temperamentals were completely serious."Continued...

San Diego,Calif—The risk of homeowners in San Diego County and elsewhere in the state having inadequate insurance to protect against wildfires or other natural disasters should be reduced under new regulations unveiled today by the state insurance commissioner.
Steve Poizner, whose term ends Sunday, said he ``witnessed the problem of under-insurance'' early in his tenure when he toured the site of the devastating San Diego wildfires in the fall of 2007. ``I promised then that I would address the problem of under-insurance, and with the approval of these regulations, I believe I have fulfilled that promise,'' he said.``Consumers face several complicated choices when buying homeowner's insurance, and they need reliable and complete information in order to make good decisions,'' Poizner said. ``These new regulations deliver on both of those fronts.''On Wednesday, the California Office of Administrative Law approved Poizner's proposals aimed at ensuring that property owners receive accurate, honest estimates on replacement value costs for homes destroyed by fire or other catastrophes.The new regulations establish the following requirements: All fire and casualty broker-agents and personal lines broker agents must complete three-hour training courses on homeowner's insurance valuation prior to estimating replacement value costs; insurers, agents and brokers must document how replacement cost estimates are derived when presenting the information to applicants and insured customers, including the sources and methods used to arrive at the figures; and,all replacement cost estimates must be complete and based on the standards set forth by the Department of Insurance.Poizner said the regulations are the final phase of a reform process that started after the California wildfires of 2007 and 2008, during which about one million people were forced to evacuate their homes, 1,500 of which were destroyed.Previously, the Department of Insurance worked with the Legislature to draft a new law, AB 2022, that requires every consumer to receive a simplified checklist explaining their options in choosing homeowner's insurance and a user- friendly disclosure form that lays out all the terms with which prospective property owners need to be familiar. All the new regulations take effect July 1.

Then again, now that they're dropping the two anomaly SLRs (5DII and T3 as soon as the B is out), they only have one SLR in the whole range that isn't 18MP. That looks to me like a lack of creativity.Ehm, 5D3 and 6D? that's two if I count correctly? But, on the other hand I do agree that Canon needs more diversity in their lower end bodies. is it 8 or 9 bodies now with 18 mp? 7D, 60D, SL1, 700D, 650D, 600D, 550D, 1DX (yes it is 18mp, hehe)...did I miss anyone?
Nope~ but the 1Dx sensor is quite a bit different then the rest

An office bet that a few of my co workers and I made. More fun in the blog post.
Clearly more NHL teams should be doing this!
Hi guys, heres a little video made for the playoffs. Hope u like it! The song is Fucken Problems by ASAP Rocky
Here is my inspiring video for Ryane Clowe. RIP.
I just saw this on another site and just wanted to share it. As we get closer to when the season is supposed to start, I feel less and less sure we will have any hockey at all. I know that this is a business but I just love hockey and just want to see some damn hockey. Here is the synopsis of the video as per the creator: "As we all know, we might not see any NHL hockey next year because of the disagreements with the NHL and NHLPA in terms of economic issues and whatnot. Understandably money is an important thing in the NHL and let alone hockey. But we've come to a point where you have to draw the line. We're in a point where hockey is more a product to make money than a beautiful game, which revolves around big money. Money seeming to be the bigger value than the game itself. Even though it's strongly biased towards the NHLPA, I hope you guys understand the main message and idea of the video even if you were standing in a neutral position." I got goosebumps towards the end...
On the other hand, here's one reason to love the Adam Burish signing.
Last Wednesday, Sharks alumni faced off against Russian legends in a charity game to benefit the Jr. Sharks Scholarship fund. Sharks fans were so hockey-starved that tickets sold out in 30 minutes, leaving some people (including myself) out of the fun. So in case you weren't able to go, or even if you were (jealous), here are some post-game interviews with Curtis Brown, Kyle McLaren, and GWG scorer Owen Nolan. Click here for some photos of the event. The third one is my favorite.
A Much Needed Laugh.
Here's a motivational video that I did for game 4 it's called "Sharks - Just Win!" GO SHARKS!!!

Arabic numerals! They're everywhere!!!
The keen eye of Jesus' General has caught something that I had completely overlooked: the nefarious influence of Muslim extremism over our society at the numerical level:
Lowe's may have bowed to God's will and pulled advertising from TLC's "All-American Muslim," a show with the gall to depict Muslimolibs as human beings, but the hardware/appliance chain still promotes the Islamuninistoprog agenda. They do so by using Arabic numerals in their pricing.
Arabic numerals (e.g. 1, 2, 3…) were designed by a Muslim named Al-Khwarizmi in DCCCXXV A.D. They were then imposed on the West by the Great Whore of Babylon, Pope Sylvester II, a man who constantly fingered his astrolabe, in the late Xth Century.
Please write Lowes, today, and ask them to stop exposing our children to Arabic Islamonumbers.
Great Scott, he's right! Not only did this Al-Khwarizmi fellow create this insidious numerical system, he also developed a form of mathematics that he called al-jabr, translated into American as "algebra."
Algebra, of course, was the instrument used to torment me endlessly in MCMLXXXVIII, when I was in the VIIIth grade.
His name also forms the basis for the word "algorithm."
You know what's even worse? Pope Sylvester II was French. Our entire numerical system is a conspiracy of evil Islamofascists and cheese-eating surrender monkeys [source].
Or, maybe numbers are just, you know, numbers, and it's just that the people who made the decision to pull Lowe's advertising have made effective parody almost impossible to distinguish from actual crazy ideas.
Just my II cents…

Funding opportunities
Assessing the Genome and Sequence Integrity of Cellular Therapeutics
Funding Type:
Tools and Technologies II
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$1 030 052
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
Cellular therapies represent the most advanced technologies in medicine and have a myriad of potential applications. To date, the chromosome and gene composition of cell therapeutics have undergone only minimal evaluation, an oversight that could be of significant detriment to the long-term development of these products. Two major issues need to be addressed during the earliest stages of developing cells for therapy. First, the overall chromosomal integrity of cells must be assured. There are many examples in biology where alterations and mutations in genes can have disastrous effects, most significantly in the development of cancer. Furthermore, an increasing number of studies are documenting large scale alterations in the chromosomes of cell culture populations that mirror several of the changes seen in tumor cells. Secondly, the complete DNA sequence of cell therapy products should be assessed. The number of documented genetic disease with clearly defined gene lesions is over 300, while the number with presently undefined molecular lesion is over 1600. An analogous reasoning holds for disease propensity alleles; shouldn't we know the satus of genes that are substantially implicated in disease processes? ApoE is one of dozens of genes that can dramatically affect overall health. The above considerations weigh even more heavily on transgenic and genetically modified cell therapeutics. Most cellular therapeutics are intended as permanent grafts and as our discovery and understanding of genetic disease and disease propensity progresses, it will be of considerable importance to be able to review archived genomic data on the products transplanted. Our proposal will provide important new platforms for ensuring both manufacturing consistency and the long-term safety of cellular therapeutics. We will apply both low (cytogenetic) and high-resolution (complete genome sequencing) methods to thoroughly analyze the DNA content of cell therapeutics and will do this using already available service providers. Our goal is to provide standardized protocols, quality measurements and reports to improve quality assessment and safety of cellular therapeutics.
Statement of Benefit to California:
California is unquestionably the leading state in the nation for funding and supporting regenerative medicine. Since much of the support provided by CIRM targets the development of expensive and complex cell-based therapeutics, making efficient use of these dollars is crucial. Cell therapeutics represent, in most applications, permanent transplants, and thus it is critical that the overall safety of these products is assessed. DNA-based assessment of cell therapy candidates is a under-utilized quality control step and one where the consequences of unintended mutations or alterations of the genome could have disastrous effect. Our studies will apply the most modern and high resolution methods to thoroughly analyze and document the DNA content of cell therapeutics. In California, we are home to most of the major service companies that provide complete genome sequencing and our study will capitalize on these private industry resources. In addition, applying these methods to the earliest stages of research and development can help optimize the selection of cell therapy candidates and prevent the expenditure of dollars on candidates with unsafe genetic profiles.
Review Summary:
This proposal is focused on the development and application of a standardized set of tools to assess the genomic integrity of human embryonic stem cells (hESC), human embryonic progenitor cell lines (hEPC), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and CIRM-funded cell therapy candidates. The applicant cited evidence that many hESC lines accumulate genetic abnormalities and emphasized that even the most commonly used lines have not been fully sequenced for mutations or genetic polymorphisms associated with human disease. The applicant argued that this lack of genomic integrity data represents a critical safety issue and a bottleneck to the translation of stem cell-based therapies. The specific goals of the proposal include: (1) development of standard protocols and procedures for calibration of molecular and cytogenetic assays; (2) implementation of higher sensitivity probe arrays to detect chromosomal abnormalities; and (3) complete genome sequencing of hESC lines, iPSC lines and CIRM-funded clinical cell therapy candidates. While the reviewers agreed that in-depth genomic analyses of stem cell lines would provide valuable information, they noted that the lack of this information does not currently represent a translational bottleneck to stem cell therapy. Instead, this proposal looks forward to a potential safety and regulatory bottleneck. Reviewers appreciated the scientific rationale for the proposal, as genetic abnormalities in transplanted stem cells could pose significant risks to patients and current detection methods are costly and of low-resolution. However, they concluded that this proposal would fall short of having a major impact on the field. They noted that the interpretation of genome sequencing data is not yet advanced enough to be of benefit in determining the safety of cell therapy. The significance of the proposal is also weakened by the lack of a clear plan to follow up on evidence of genomic changes, such as correlating these changes with specific phenotypes. Finally, reviewers did not find the proposal to be particularly innovative, noting that it does not entail the creation of new technologies, but rather the implementation of existing, cutting-edge tools. The reviewers agreed that the research plan is focused and scientifically sound. They appreciated the strong preliminary data demonstrating that many hESC lines have undergone some degree of selective genomic rearrangement during expansion in culture. The data also demonstrate that the research team has the fundamental tools in place for examining the genomic stability of pluripotent cell lines as well as for sequencing their entire genomes. However, reviewers noted that the applicant proposes to collect a lot of data while doing little to improve the analysis of that data. For example, measurement of SNP array sensitivity to abnormal subpopulations is proposed, but not experiments to improve this critical limitation. The applicant also does not propose to investigate the time course over which genetic abnormalities accumulate, or the significance of pre-existing polymorphisms and mutations in the hESC or iPS cell lines. There is no discussion on whether particular methods of cell line establishment, propagation or cryopreservation correlate with specific genomic rearrangements. While reviewers found the research plan to be well-organized and generally feasible, they noted that potential difficulties and alternative approaches are not described or addressed. Finally, reviewers described the lack of experiments designed to tie specific changes in genetic stability to biological outcomes as a major shortcoming of the research plan. Reviewers found the principal investigator (PI) and assembled research team to be strengths of the proposal. They praised the PI's considerable expertise in stem cell research and the logical collaborations established with companies specializing in cytogenetic analysis and whole genome sequencing. One minor reviewer criticism was that the proposed SNP analysis would be performed by a service provider rather than a collaborator, likely precluding the sort of experimentation that would improve molecular cytogenetics as a tool for stem cell analysis. In terms of the budget, one reviewer noted that the bulk of the cost for each cell line would go into sequencing, the analysis that currently provides the least amount of information about safety for cell transplantation. A reviewer also suggested that full genomic sequencing only be performed on a few lines, those which do not display genetic abnormalities in other, lower-cost assays. Overall, while reviewers appreciated that useful data that would result from this proposal, they were not convinced that it addresses a translational bottleneck. They noted that the applicant does not propose technical improvements or biological followup, limiting the project's potential impact.
Programmatic review:
- A motion was made to move this application into Tier 1, Recommended for Funding. The programmatic reason cited was a lack of bioinformatics proposals in Tier 1. Reviewers recapitulated the scientific review. Some GWG members argued that this would be a unique grant in CIRM's portfolio and could have a broad impact on CIRM's development pipeline, while others seriously doubted the potential impact of the proposed study. The motion failed.
- Minority Report: The motion was opposed by a majority of the GWG. Because the motion was supported by more than 35% of members, supporters have exercised their right to have that position reported to the ICOC. Three elements were cited by the minority group in support of moving the application up to Tier 1: 1) the proposal was submitted by a "for profit" applicant; 2) the project uses bioinformatics approaches; 3) the proposed research expands a global capacity to assess safety of cell therapy products derived from embryonic stem cells that have been expanded in culture. Also, the proposal supports efforts to characterize 10 cell lines that are being derived as part of a previously funded CIRM award.

CDC orders halt to use of infant rotavirus vaccine Rotarix after contamination found
By Stacey Singer
The CDC this afternoon issued an alert calling for health professionals to temporarily stop giving the oral rotavirus vaccine, Rotarix, which is routinely given to infants.
The FDA found that DNA from pork circovirus type 1 (PCV1) was present in the Rotarix vaccine made by GlaxoSmithKline.
"All available evidence indicates that there has been no increased risk to patients who have received this vaccine," the CDC said.
The agency said the FDA does not routinely test for the presence of PCV1 in vaccines because it's not known to cause any disease.
"Roatrix has been extensively studied, before and after approval, and found to have an excellent safety record (i.e. no unusual adverse events,)" the agency said. "However, FDA is recommending that healthcare practitioners temporarily suspend usage…..while the agency learns more about the detection of components of the virus found in the vaccine."
The contamination was reported by GlaxoSmithKline on March 15. Not only was it in the finished vaccine, it was in the cell bank and seed from which the vaccine is derrived.
Rotavirus causes severe vomiting and diarrhea, and each year it leads to more than 500,000 infant deaths globally. It's behind more than 50,000 hospitalizations in the United States each year.
The CDC says Merck's rotavirus vaccine, RotaTeq, is still available.
"RotaTeq vaccine is available for rotavirus immunization during this period. For children who have received one dose of Rotarix, CDC advises that clinicians complete the series with RotaTeq for the next two doses. "

Advocates focus on importance of stabilizing neighborhoods
WASHINGTON (June 1, 2009) – Habitat for Humanity will kick off its third annual advocacy and legislative conference, Habitat on the Hill: Build Louder, June 1–3. More than 160 Habitat supporters and advocates representing 36 states will join Jonathan Reckford, chief executive officer of Habitat for Humanity International, and visit members of Congress and their staffs to discuss key issues, including funding for programs critical to revitalizing neighborhoods like the Serve America Act.
"By approaching neighborhoods holistically and expanding rehabilitation, green building, repair and weatherization programs, Habitat can help neighborhoods become stronger, more resilient and more sustainable than ever before," said Reckford. "With the financial support of federal programs, Habitat brings the proven ability to fix homes, to partner with qualified families and to mobilize volunteers to turn neighborhoods around and help stabilize housing markets."
Habitat's neighborhood revitalization initiative aims to help affiliated Habitat organizations serve more families in need and deliver an increased level of support to communities through rehabilitating and weatherizing existing homes.
Distinguished speakers including U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Deputy Secretary Ron Sims; Representative John Lewis of Georgia; Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon; and HFHI board members Ken Klein and Henry Cisneros will emphasize the power of advocacy, draw attention to the importance of national service and highlight the multiple ways affiliated Habitat organizations and supporters can unlock government resources to serve more families through new construction, rehabilitation and repair.
The Home Depot Foundation is sponsoring the conference and a legislative reception to be held on Capitol Hill following the meetings. Other Habitat on the Hill sponsors include The Dow Chemical Company, Valspar, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, Whirlpool, Schneider Electric and Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll.
The 2009 conference theme, "Habitat on the Hill: Build Louder", is based on Habitat for Humanity's recently-launched multi-year advocacy campaign focusing on changing U.S. policies on the issues of neighborhood revitalization and secure tenure to improve access to adequate and affordable housing around the world.
About Habitat for Humanity International
Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry that welcomes to its work all people dedicated to the cause of eliminating poverty housing. Since its founding in 1976, Habitat has built more than 300,000 houses worldwide, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 1.5 million people.

The Panthers last week faced an Eagles team that was installing a new offensive AND defensive playbook this entire offseason. Its easy to jump and say "THE SKY IS FALLING" for the Panthers, but in reality we know to a certain extent what the Panthers will look like in 2013. Most fans can guess our starting 11 on offense week 1, and the defense seems pretty much set minus a few question marks at cornerback and the availability of Jon Beason at linebacker. Carolina faced an Eagles team still finding its own identity, having made the switch to an up-tempo offense and a 3-4 defense not seen in Philadelphia for a long time. So maybe that game can be written off as a simple preseason game, but this one could be the biggest indicator of the strengths and weaknesses on the roster.
Jordan Gross/Byron Bell vs. Terrell Suggs/Elvis Dumervil
Last week seemed like a long week for the offensive line, but this week is definitely the best front four/five we will see in the preseason. Haloti Ngata and Terrell Suggs return with the added additions of Chris Canty at 5-tech defensive end and Elvis Dumervil at Sam linebacker. The pass rush could be a major issue for Carolina here.
Arguably the biggest issue of the offseason has been the lack of talent at offensive tackle. Jordan Gross and Byron Bell will return at the left and right tackle positions (respectively), where a noticeable dip in production from Gross has become a problem. Byron Bell also boasts a shaky track record at best as far as pass blocking goes for Cam Newton. This will be a big indicator of whats to come for Carolina in 2013, where they will start off facing a formidable front seven in Seattle. The Carolina quarterbacks as a whole have seemed to be under duress way more frequently than is considered okay, and Cam Newton is our biggest playmaker. Look for Carolina to try and use more play action this week to keep Cam upright, but we will see exactly where our tackle situation is this Thursday.
Captain Munnerlyn vs. Jacoby Jones
It seems to be set for the beginning of the season that Drayton Florence will cover the opposing team's number one receiver. Logically speaking, this makes sense. Florence is the most veteran defensive back on roster, and his wealth of experience will be useful. He will still struggle against the more elite receivers, but we are going to get what we paid for until a younger buck steps up and shows that we can count on them. However, the second receiver position is more of a question mark. Captain Munnerlyn is slated as the number two corner on the depth chart, but certainly hasn't played as such this offseason.
Many fans question this move, though I am under the impression that Rivera is giving the veteran nod here until he feels he can count on someone else. Josh Norman has been the biggest impact player in the secondary each preseason game, and is hot on ole Cap's heels. Munnerlyn should get a decent chance to shine against Jacoby Jones. Jones has always been more inclined to returns, but the lack of a threat at the receiver position puts Jones as the number two receiver. Look for Munnerlyn to continue to get a decent amount of snaps, as Carolina evaluates Munnerlyn's status, along with Josh Norman and Josh Thomas looking to snag the starting role.
Luke Kuechly vs. Ray Rice
This matchup figures to be more of an evaluation of the entire front seven, rather than the two at question. Ray Rice played a major role in the Ravens' Super Bowl run, while Kuechly played a major role in turning a bad defense into (at the very, very least) a respectable one. With the drafting of Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short, along with the veteran addition of Chase Blackburn and return of Jon Beason, Kuechly's supporting cast is much better this season. But the Baltimore front seven is nothing to shake a stick at, with a possible return from Marshal Yanda and an already formidable rushing attack.
The entire front seven struggled against the quick hit Philadelphia offense, and more specifically Lesean McCoy, last week. Ray Rice is a weapon in all aspects of the offensive game, and Kuechly keeping him contained is uber-important if Carolina wants to bounce back from last week's trouncing. Don't expect many big "wow" plays from the Ravens playbook however. I figure that they will keep their play-calls about as vanilla as Carolina has on offense, seeing as they also have an established identity going into 2013.
Corey Graham/Jimmy Smith vs. Ted Ginn/David Gettis
It's been said time and time again. Brandon LaFell and Steve Smith are permanent-markered in as the number one and two receivers in Charlotte. However, the number three battle has been quite interesting since the start of the offseason. Originally, Domenik Hixon and Ted Ginn were brought in as insurance for a receving core filled with question marks. Hixon has battled injury the entire offseason, where Gettis and Edwards have emerged as legitimate receiving threats thus far. Gettleman's quote that "the answer could be on the roster" is truly applicable in this situation. We started the offseason with many saying (and with good reason) that Hixon had the in for the spot. Now, the receivers mentioned have the chance to take the spot.
Corey Graham hails from the same Chicago as DJ Moore nearly two seasons back, capturing the spot on the Ravens' depth chart as the number two corner. Jimmy Smith is also a very talented player, and they will look to shut down the Panthers receivers. Armanti Edwards has been the story of training camp. David Gettis has been the story of the preseason games, with Ginn getting his recognition in both areas. This will be a good test to see who sticks at the spot prior to the regular season.
Who do you think is a player to watch Panthers fans? Name him in the comments!

Seth Macfarlane or Trey & Matt might have been able to avoid the slings and arrows of politically correct censors by crafting "Civil War-themed episodes" that succeeded in offending ALL points of view regarding the conflict. But an ep that, while comedic, invites us to consider such heavy matters as reconciliation and restoration of honor and treats both sides with a reasonable amount of respect? Just no way. "Civil War" can be said to have slipped through a crack in time -- a period during which Civil War symbols could still be shown without the heavens falling in, and an animated series that thought highly enough of the intelligence of its audience to be able to present such an episode without a surfeit of dumbed-down explanation.
For those who, like GeoX, have a problem with the whole notion of an ideology-free presentation of the war, I think that I have a solution to your dilemma. Remember the "Parachute Postulate" of TaleSpin, in which every pilot of every doomed plane had a parachute at the ready? Or the "Animal Apothegm" of Rescue Rangers, which posited an elaborate animal "subsociety" mimicking the activities of the human society? For your kind consideration, may I present the "Taxes and Tariffs Tenet": in the Ducks' world (called "Quackeria" by Greg Weagle and simply the "Mouse and Duck 'universe'" by other, less imaginative souls), the Civil War arose solely as a dispute over tariff policy! No pesky "involuntary servitude" involved whatsoever! Given the huge number of pig villains known to infest the Ducks' world -- very much including 19th century representatives -- it's not hard to imagine the country being led to sectional blows thanks to the machinations of porcine economic malefactors. So GeoX gets his capitalist villains without having to concern himself with slavery. What's not to like?
Contra Greg, if you're willing to accept the idea of a 400-year-old Spanish sea captain keeping himself alive through "sheer willpower," then swallowing the notion of 150-year-old Union soldiers staying alive to redeem a long-ago humiliation should be, as the saying goes, "cake." In fact, I'm even more impressed at the old soldiers' resilience than I am at El Capitan's, since the "no-longer-boys in blue" don't have the potential for substantial material gain egging them on. The Duck Ridge reenactors don't bother to get the details of "McQuack's Marauders"' defeat right -- the pretend soldiers "flee," as opposed to silently slipping away -- so can you really blame the old guys for wanting to set things right? The old soldiers' sense of despair is probably the most affecting part of the episode, though their comically repeated lament about "that lousy, rotten, bunglin' polecat McQuack" puts something of a humorous spin on the situation.

Monster Energy's Ruckus in the Rockies goes off in Lake Louise
Monster Energy has done it again as thousands of snowboarders, fans and party people descended upon Lake Louise for the 2nd annual Ruckus in the Rockies. Combining a kick-ass snowboard team contest with a massive party at a spectacular venue, Monster Energy proved that they could throw down when it counts.
Mark Sollors would walk away with a brand new Kawasaki 250F after battling friend and teammate Dustin Craven in the final. Jonas Guinn and Kelly Schovanek would put down the best team effort and take home, or to the bar, $1,000.
As night descended on Canada, The Lodge at Ten Peaks would start to go off. The spectacular venue at Lake Louise would end up being one of the best parties of the year as Monster brought one killer DJ lineup. DJ Pump and Illo got the crowed pumped with Mat the Alien to follow. The sold out crowd was already frothing by the time LA's own Z-Trip took the stage.
Z-Trip would throw down his usual rhythm that would put the crowed in to a frenzy. He has a way of combing so many musical genres into one kick-ass set that, no matter what your taste, there's something for everyone.
After Z-Trip put down a set to remember, DJ Pump and Mat joined him on stage for an impromptu scratch battle that had everyone freaking out. With the recent loss of Beastie Boy "MCA," the DJs paid tribute with one of the best sets of the night.

In essence aromatherapy involves the use of volatile plant oils to improve the psychological and physical well-being of the patient. The history of this practice dates back to prehistoric Egypt and China and is still quite popular today.
Using aroma therapy in your home
When you rub your infant with baby oil or bathe them with baby bath containing lavender, you are practicing a form of aromatherapy and using the soothing fragrance of lavender to aid your little one in sleeping more peacefully.
We have found that the fragrance of rosemary helps us to think more clearly, as does cardamom, and rose.
Many essential oils offer natural help in a number of ways:
· Bath
· Compresses
· Foot soaks
· Inhalants
· Massage
· Ointments
· Perfumes
· Perfumes
· Stimulants
· Vapors
Before you begin the delightful journey of aromatherapy be sure to do some research to look into the over 30 herbs and their many properties as they provide a treasury of protection if used properly:
· Anti-inflammatory
· Antiseptic
· Anti-spasmodic
· Aphrodisiac
· Bactericidal
· Digestive
· Fungicidal
· Sedative
· Stimulating
· Viricidal
Through plants oils, aroma, and touch, the healing properties enter the body tissues and there begin their therapy.
Safety rules to follow:
There are safety rules to follow when practicing aromatherapy because not all essential oils should be used by unpracticed laymen and only lavender should be applied to children under 7. Caution should also be taken when massaging women so as to only gently massage the abdomen during pregnancy with oils and during the first three days of a woman's menstrual cycle. The following massage oils should be avoided during pregnancy:
· Clary sage
· Jasmine
· Juniper
· Marjoram
· Myrrh
· Peppermint
· Rose
· Rosemary
Do not sunbathe or use a sunlamp after using citrus oils or bergamot. Some herbs may cause skin irritation such as benzoin (if impure), ginger, lemon, rosemary, or pine. Finally, do not massage oils into recent scar tissue, skin infections, on anyone who is undergoing treatment for cardio-vascular problems or cancer.
How to use aromatherapy to calm your cold:
Soak in a warm bath containing 2 drops of tea tree oil, 1 drop of eucalyptus globulus and 1 drop of lemon. Add the oils just before getting into the tub.
Make a chest rub of:
· 2 drops of eucalyptus globulus
· 1 drop honey myrtle
· 1 drop sweet marjoram or ginger
· 1 drop frankincense
· 1 tbsp. sweet almond oil
Rub into chest to improve congestion and breathing.
Make a steam inhalation of:
· 1 drop of myrtle
· 1 drop of rosemary
· 1 drop pure benzoin
Drop into a bowl of comfortably hot water and with a towel draped over your head inhale from one to five minutes to clear nasal passages. Note: This is not to be done by those who suffer from asthma!
You can create a fragrance burner/diffuser or aerosol spray to help clear the congestion by using any of these oils:
· Black pepper
· Citriodora
· Cypress
· Eucalyptus globulus
· Frankincense
· Honey
· lavender
· Lemon
· Palmarosa
· Rosemary
· Tea tree
These are created by using an especially created burner which has a dish on the top and a place for a votive candle underneath. The votive candle when lit heats the oils unleashing the aroma throughout one's home. This is why it is important to know what healing powers you are using before placing the oils in the water dish and lighting the candle. Eight drops of oil are used in a full bowl of water.
An aerosol spray can be made with a ceramic plant spray bottle, 30 to 40 drops of oil blended with 8 fluid ounces of distilled water.
These wonderful oils can be used to replace products you already use.
These essential oils can be used to create homemade perfumes or colognes, room sprays, face creams, moisturizers, fragrance burners or diffusers and so forth. With the proper use of essential oils and aromatherapy you will be so glad you made this discovery.

I've had a strange feeling lately. Not one that is really describeable, per se, but one that given its affects on me, is not a good omen. I don't see the world as we know it improving much at all.
Now, we can all attribute that opinion to the economic malaise and global chaos that runs amok like the children in Lord of the Flies. It seems that humanity – with all the gadgets and whatchamacallits – is still trudging along to a beat out of the Neolithic Age.
We've all heard the voodoo that is upon us: 2012, the Mayan End of Times doomsday scenario playing out at a theatre near you. I'm not a paint-my-face, genuflect-to-the-old-stones zealot on this point, but, I take my prophesies fairly seriously. (More of a Nostradamus fan.)
So, we have some bad juju swirling around. Cat 5 hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, climatic strangeness, genocide and economic reordering are just the wine list on your Airbus A380 flight to world catastrophe. (Enjoy!)
7 Billion of us currently fight for limited resources, crowd each other out, engage in warfare to gain those new footholds for water, for oil, for food even. International cooperation is a dish best served with a AK-47 pointing to your head. (Mixing it up here is good.)
But getting back to my feeling, the reason for all the hub bub in my heart is intimately tied to my own inabilities to right the titanic levels of anxiety hitting the icy cold waters of current reality. While I try to remain focused on the task at hand, I wonder, "will this matter a lick once the heavens (or depths) swallow me? Who the heck will survive it all? Does Oprah have a mountain getaway? (Would she take me on as a court jester?)"
Letting this sort of thoughts creep into your psyche is costly. (Couch costly, like $250 per 50-minute hour expensive.) But it serves notice on my conscious to do whatever I plan on complete before whatever doom-n-gloom besets us takes place.
Build that contraption. Learn how to play Eric Clapton's 'Cocaine' on the guitar. Write that great book. Make a trip to Kathmandu. Ask out that supermodel lively around your corner. (Ok, I don't have one of those handy, but hell, I dream.)
While its seems the Earth will end very soon – the Andromeda galaxy will to collide with the Milky Way, curtains close on humanity in this current form and location – we might as well do whatever our carbon-based life form can conceive in the present. Societal forces be damned. Trying to fix the problem: bullox that notion.
If we have only a short left, might as well do the Lord of the Flies wig out before we kick off. Or as William Golding put it, "Which is better–to have laws and agree, or to hunt and kill?" Seems we are all ready doing more of the latter than the former.

(FOX 11) Don't judge a criminal by his appearance. From the LAPD's description, the criminal of the day thinks he can hide behind some thick rimmed glasses and a "mild-mannered" look.
LAPD hasn't released his picture or any surveillance tape of him in action but the "nerdy looking guy" - as witnesses reportedly described him - certainly was one busy robber last night.
Armed with a gun, he hit a Walgreens, Subway and CVS in the San Fernando all in the span of a couple of hours.
According to police, he's Caucasian, tall - about 6'2" - and on the malnourished side since he only weighs about 130 pounds.*
Maybe he should have ordered a sandwich at Subway instead of cash. Would have been healthier. Then again when they catch him, he'll get 3 squares and a cot.
Yup, you should have ordered the sandwich dude.
As always, if you have any information that could help police catch the bad guy, please call the LAPD.

What would a game be like without enthusiastic fans?
So, it's not surprising that many of these fanatics can lose their voices after a rousing sporting event but now doctors are finding they could be seriously injuring their vocal cords in the process.
"When you use a very loud explosive voice, you can cause significant damage to your vocal cords and that can occur in just one yell," says Dr. L. Arick Forrest, of the Ohio State University Voice and Swallowing Clinic.
And, that can lead to serious damage.
"A single yell will either produce a hemorrhage that will go away, or a polyp that may be permanent, unless you have it surgically removed," says Dr. Forrest.
So how do you know if you've damaged your vocal cords?
"You'll start to hear your voice crack a bit or get a little bit raspy, and that should be your clue that something is wrong here," Dr. Forrest says.
And what can you do to save them?
"Yelling and saying words is actually a lot harder than holding out a tone, like a singer would do," says Dr. Forrest.
If you have hoarseness that lasts 24 hours or longer. It could mean possible problems. You may need therapy or even surgery to correct the problem.
It all depends on how enthusiastic you've been.

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
If you suffer from hay fever, as 36 million Americans do, springtime spells sneezing for you. The biggest offender is pollen from grasses, flowers, and trees, which is in the air from early spring to late summer. Take the right steps before allergy season is in full swing, and you'll keep the stuffy nose and itchy eyes at bay.
Take allergy medications early. Start before the onset of symptoms, says Russell Leftwich, MD, a spokesperson for the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. He suggests starting your regimen, whether prescription or not, in early April.
Limit the time you spend outdoors before noon to cut down on your exposure to pollen spores, which are more dense in the early hours, says Dr. Leftwich. Rather than opening your windows from April to July, use an air conditioner to cool rooms. This should also help keep the pollen count down in your home during the high season.
Rule out other possible reasons for your symptoms. Many people experience allergy-like symptoms when the weather changes, but discover they aren't actually allergic to anything.

I've got four Einsteins. They're awesome. You can have them when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers.
But the Alien Bees are damned good as well, and more than a superlative match for the 80/20 rule.
Save the portability factor and ability to do TTL metering, anything Paul C Buff makes absolutely and completely blows away anything and everything that Canon makes, and even their flagship Einstein flashes are cheaper than the Canon 580 / 600 models.
On the top of those Einsteins....looks like an antenna.
Are these things wireless (radio) ready?
Which light system?

|Set dimensions of a Epetra_SerialSymDenseMatrix object; init values to zero.
|Reshape (int NumRowsCols)
|Reshape a Epetra_SerialSymDenseMatrix object.
|SetLower ()

|Returns true if upper triangle of this matrix has and will be used.
|UPLO () const
|Returns character value of UPLO used by LAPACK routines.
Mathematical Methods
|Scale (double ScalarA)
|Inplace scalar-matrix product A = a A.
|NormOne () const

|NormInf () const
|Computes the Infinity-Norm of the this matrix.

The Epetra_SerialSymDenseMatrix class enables the construction and use of real-valued, symmetric positive definite, double-precision dense matrices. It is built on the Epetra_SerialDenseMatrix class which in turn is built on the BLAS via the Epetra_BLAS class.
The Epetra_SerialSymDenseMatrix class is intended to provide full-featured support for solving linear and eigen system problems for symmetric positive definite matrices. It is written on top of BLAS and LAPACK and thus has excellent performance and numerical capabilities. Using this class, one can either perform simple factorizations and solves or apply all the tricks available in LAPACK to get the best possible solution for very ill-conditioned problems.
Epetra_SerialSymDenseMatrix vs. Epetra_LAPACK
The Epetra_LAPACK class provides access to most of the same functionality as Epetra_SerialSymDenseMatrix. The primary difference is that Epetra_LAPACK is a "thin" layer on top of LAPACK and Epetra_SerialSymDenseMatrix attempts to provide easy access to the more sophisticated aspects of solving dense linear and eigensystems.
Constructing Epetra_SerialSymDenseMatrix Objects
There are three Epetra_DenseMatrix constructors. The first constructs a zero-sized object which should be made to appropriate length using the Shape() or Reshape() functions and then filled with the [] or () operators. The second is a constructor that accepts user data as a 2D array, the third is a copy constructor. The second constructor has two data access modes (specified by the Epetra_DataAccess argument):
Once a Epetra_SerialSymDenseMatrix is constructed, it is possible to view the data via access functions.
Once a Epetra_SerialSymDenseMatrix is constructed, several mathematical functions can be applied to the object. Specifically:
Counting floating point operations The Epetra_SerialSymDenseMatrix class has Epetra_CompObject as a base class. Thus, floating point operations are counted and accumulated in the Epetra_Flop object (if any) that was set using the SetFlopCounter() method in the Epetra_CompObject base class.
Default constructor; defines a zero size object.
Epetra_SerialSymDenseMatrix objects defined by the default constructor should be sized with the Shape() or Reshape() functions. Values should be defined by using the [] or ()operators.
Note: By default the active part of the matrix is assumed to be in the lower triangle. To set the upper part as active, call SetUpper(). See Detailed Description section for further discussion.
Set object values from two-dimensional array.
Computes the 1-Norm of the this matrix.
Reimplemented from Epetra_SerialDenseMatrix.
Computes the 1-Norm of the this matrix (identical to NormOne() method).

Reshape a Epetra_SerialSymDenseMatrix object.
Inplace scalar-matrix product A = a A.
Scale a matrix, entry-by-entry using the value ScalarA. This method is sensitive to the UPLO() parameter.
Reimplemented from Epetra_SerialDenseMatrix.
Set dimensions of a Epetra_SerialSymDenseMatrix object; init values to zero.

Customer Reviews
Very impressed with the quality, fit, and price of these coveralls so I purchased a 2nd set. A little long but the seamstress at the local cleaners tailored them to fit. Looking forward to wearing them during fall hunting season.
The coveralls were just what we were expecting. With these in cold areas you need to wear something under them for cold protection but we knew that when we ordered. Like them a lot. Very comfortable.
just what I expected , this is second set purchased this fall - went with a medium this time instead of large fit is just right for the not so cold days--
Fit perfectly. Just warm enough for mild cold conditions and the material is stretchable enough to use as your outer layer.
Nice product. Good fit, but recommend one size larger than what you usually wear for easy on-off

Police responding to a domestic dispute in Roscommon County encountered a much more tense situation that developed into an alleged standoff between officers and a man in Nester Township.
At around 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon, a woman contacted 911 after the man allegedly attempted to hold the woman against her will at her residence, about 5 miles southwest of West Branch. Police also said the woman claimed the man shot her telephone with a pistol after the woman tried to dial 911.
Officials also said the man made threats of killing anyone who approached the home and also allegedly threatened to kill himself.
The woman was able to make it out of the home safely.
The Roscommon County Sheriffs Office and Emergency Response Team negotiated with the subject for several hours before the man surrendered to police. The standoff ended at around 10:30 p.m.
The man is lodged in the Roscommon County jail, charged with felonious assault, interfering with a communications device and domestic assault. Officers said further charges are likely to follow.

WRIF morning producer James Campbell said Metallica's Orion set on Saturday was cool, a huge moment for die-hards."I almost got trampled. It was like people were running from Godzilla coming from the other stage. They were just running straight to that stage where they played the surprise set," he said.Campbell went to Belle Isle both days."The setup was great, big enough space for all the stages," he remarked.Campbell said even the non-musical attractions were well done, but more local vendors please."I would like to see maybe more local companies out selling stuff," he said.WRIF staffers told us it appeared crowds exceeded the 40,000 promoters were hoping for, which could go a long way toward making this a permanent event. As crews worked Monday to tear down stages and clean up the island, thoughts turned to next year and what could beadded to make it bigger and better.The buzzkill of the weekend happened Saturday with will call waits and shuttle delays getting from Cobo to the island. Sunday was smoother, and Campbell said that's the key takeaway."If they can just repeat what they did Sunday in the future without the hiccups with the transportation, getting back and forth," he said. "I think overall it was good."

RAIN-Uganda benefit volunteers by Liz Feldman - over 1 year ago
"RAIN-UGANDA (Responding to AIDS and Intervening for the Needy) is an African nonprofit providing HIV testing and cervical cancer screening for rural villagers in eastern Uganda. In the past, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago funded these efforts, but discontinued funding this year. So a group of volunteers (above) organized a Benefit for Uganda, which included brunch, live music, a documentary about a Ugandan fair trade coffee coop, and a yoga class, all held at Lighthouse Yoga studio in Evanston. 100% of funds raised on that day go directly to RAIN-UGANDA! All Benefit volunteers wore lovely RAIN-Uganda t-shirts modelled after one worn by Dr. Samson Wamani in Uganda"

Lucky Find: Winston Churchill's The Second World War
November 16, 2009 at 12:04 pm , by Tom Claire
This morning's scene: Crowded commuter train about to enter the tunnel leading to Grand Central Terminal. I notice a lanky casually dressed 25-year-old intently reading a big blue hardcover; he is so caught up in the book that he seems oblivious to the crush around him. Instantly I want to know what it is that he is reading—it must be good. So I inch my way forward until I can look over his shoulder: Voila, he is reading The Gathering Storm! I am amazed, since The Gathering Storm is the first book in Sir Winston Churchill's six-volume opus The Second World War (Houghton Mifflin; hardbound, 1948 first edition), which I had just picked up in its entirety in near-mint condition at an estate sale for $40 along with a few other choice hardbacks. So I reach into my bag to show him my copy of The Gathering Storm (I am already about a third of the way through it) and ask why it is that his version is so much bigger than mine. He looks at it and at me and says in reply: "This is sci-fi/fantasy, man; you got the wrong book . . ."

Sacramento's last shot to remain an NBA city appears headed for another overtime.
In a joint statement released Wednesday, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and NBA Commissioner David Stern said they have agreed to a "work plan" in hopes of reaching a deal to finance a new arena by the March 1 deadline. Johnson, Stern and the Maloof family, which owns the Kings, will meet during this weekend's All-Star festivities in Orlando, Fla.
If a plan can been hammered out in time, a term sheet will be announced March 1 and the Sacramento City Council will vote on the plan at its March 6 meeting.
