With federal budgets trending downward and both cyberthreats and mandates heading upward, the question becomes, "Can you get comprehensive cybersecurity that provides real-time threat visibility and protection at a reasonable cost? The answer is yes."
McAfee solutions can help federal IT teams support more end users, more workloads, and more geographies, while adhering to strict government compliance standards.

Good stuff from a July interview over at FanGraphs with Bo Porter, the Astros' next manager:
"I think my football background has a lot to do with my approach to the game and my thought process. As coach Fry would say, 'You have to scratch where it itches.' Playing football for Hayden Fry at the University of Iowa, you learned that if someone shows you something that you can take advantage of — whether it's conventional or not — you're doing your team an injustice by not taking advantage of it."
"When people ask what kind of manager I'll be, I always tell them, 'Give me a roster and then I'll tell you how I'm going to manage that ball club.' You can say you're going to be an aggressive manager and that we're going to steal bases and hit-and-run, but if you have six guys in your lineup that can hit 25 home runs, it's probably not a good idea to take too many chances of giving away outs. Conversely, if you have a team that doesn't have a lot of power — but you do have guys who put the ball in play — you can put runners in motion.
Baseball has the reputation as "the thinking man's game". But let's be honest about this for a moment, friends ... Football coaches discovered meaningful statistics and tendencies and analysis long before baseball people took them to heart. In systematic fashion, anyway. There are a lot of things I don't like about football. But there are, or were for a long time, anyway, a lot of things that baseball managers could have learned from football coaches.

In light of the tragic events in New York and Washington, DC, the Audio Engineering Society has announced that its 111th convention, originally scheduled for September 21-24 at the Javits Center in New York, has been postponed until later in the year.
According to AES executive director Roger Furness, "We have just returned from the Javits Center where we had a meeting with their top management. We learned that the New York City Mayor's Office of Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have taken over large portions of the Javits Center for use in coordinating emergency services. We also learned that FEMA will have complete control of these spaces and any others that they need, for an undetermined period. This obviously makes holding the event as planned impossible. However, we were able to reschedule the convention, rather than just cancel it. Most of the people who contacted us hoped that this would be the solution."
The new dates will be Friday, November 30 to Monday, December 3, with the same exhibit, demo, and conference space as would have been used this week.
"We at the Audio Engineering Society would like to thank those of you who took the time and trouble to inquire about the safety of the staff here in the New York Office and to wish us well and give us your support. This was much appreciated," Furness adds.
"Lastly at this sad time, we would like to spare a thought for those who have had their lives so much more severely disrupted than any of us," he concludes. "We were, and are, very sensitive to their feelings. Let us hope that we can look forward to better times ahead."

She did a wonderful job. I have low back pain and after her massage I felt great and slept like a baby that night. She listens when you tell her how much pressure to apply. I have used her twice and will continue to go there!"
They did have a couple of really good massage therapist, but the last time I went, I was not too happy with my massage. I kind of stopped going there for that. For me, it is kind of hit or miss. I think there were times that the massage was pretty good with someone who has been there for a while, but there were times that I got someone else having a different technique. It is just my own personal way to get my massage done, and it is not in sync with the way I want it."
They are offer rock bottom last minute deals which are uninjectable. Sometimes I can go in and get Botox for $9 a unit. Their specials are amazing. They are great. They are very kind and provide great services. They answer all my questions and I walk away feeling like I have learned something. Their staff is really nice and great."
My results have been phenomenal. Anyone who has rosecea knows how awful and embarrassing it is. I have had beet red, blotchy skin and an acne-like condition for two decades. To make matters worse, my skin is so sensitive that I can't use cosmetics of any kind, also part and yesterday I went to drop off some stuff to my neighbor and after giving me a good, hard looking over, she said, "You look fantastic. I've never seen you wear make-up before." I wasn't wearing make-up. I was stunned and nearly cried. I haven't had a complement on my skin since I was a child. You won't be disappointed at "
I am really happy with the botox. They also did laser resurfacing and I didn't see any difference at all. I think I just wasted $800. It took a long time too. They do botox, rejuvenation on the skin and they also do laser treatment. I would say go get your botox there but watch out for the other stuff. They stay in touch with me and email me. They are easy to get an appointment with. The office is really nice and lovely. The staff is very friendly. They all have accents and I have to really tune in but the communication was okay. The procedure that I had done wasn't very effective. They said it will take a few months but it's been a few months and I "
They did a good and thorough consultation. They recently upgraded to the new lasers which shows that they are staying on top of the new technology. They were good about sharing and explaining how the process works."
The massage itself was great. However, the set up of the "spa" leaves something to be desired. Serenity is located in a strip mall. You wait for your massage at the front desk -- there is no separate waiting room where you can relax and transistion from the busy- massage rooms are simply converted offices. Although the light in the room was on a dimmers and there was relaxing music playing, the room was not sound proof. I was able to hear what was going on at the reception desk during my massage, which was not very relaxing.
The therapist was great, but the ambiance was not. There aren't many choices in "

A Richmond Heights Boy Scout troop assistant leader was fired in 1979 after three allegations of child sexual abuse surfaced, according to the recently released Boy Scouts "Perversion Files."
The files contain 1,200 cases—including 261 in the St. Louis and St. Charles County area—of suspected sexual abuse as well as efforts by the Boy Scouts, law enforcement and community leaders to shield suspected leaders from consequences.
The Scouts terminated John J. Kelley, of Hazelwood, from his position as assistant Scoutmaster of a Richmond Heights troop after learning of three separate, suspected accounts of sexual assault against scouts during two campouts, according to a statement from a then-14-year-old scout troop member included in the file.
Kelley is currently in custody in St. Louis County Jail, being charged in 2010 with failure to register as a sex offender and possession of child pornography. Patch did not immediately find evidence that the incidents reported in the Boy Scout files were reported to police or prosecuted.
The following information was drawn from the account released from the Boy Scout's previously-confidential files. To read the file for this case in its entirety, click the PDF in the media section of this article.
(Warning: The following information is graphic and sexual in nature.)
In February 1978, the troop camped in a house owned by Kelley. While alone in a room with two other scouts, Kelley made "overt sexual advances" and touched one scouts' genitals during that night. Due to the redaction of the scouts' names, it is impossible to tell whether Kelley's actions were directed at one or both scouts.
The scoutmaster, Dale Kuethe, and another assistant scout master, William Wells, were also on the trip.
Later that night, Kelley performed oral sex and manual masturbation on another scout. The scout said he smelled alcohol on Kelley's breath.
"Although he was about to fall asleep, Scout (redacted) was fully aware of what was happening but was afraid to do anything about it," the report states.
Three adults—Kuethe, Wells and Roy Jerden, a committee member—were present on the campout, according to the report.
Between the first and second incident, a scout tried to tell the troop's senior patrol leader, Dan Lally, but he refused to discuss it.
A scout also tried to tell Wells about the incident at a troop meeting the following month, but the discussion was only one or two sentences, according to the statement.
In April 1978, the troop was camping in tents at St. Francois State Park in Bonne Terre when Kelley entered a tent and attempted to sodomize a scout. The scout coughed, causing Kelley to stop, and the scout left the tent and sat by the campfire until the sun came up.
Scout Executive Russell Hart sent Kelley a letter in April 1979 explaining that his role as an assistant scout leader was cancelled due to "information made available to us from sources we feel to be reliable."
Hart instructs Kelley to stop from any further involvement with the Boy Scouts.
For more, see Patch's story: .
If you or someone you know has been the victim of sexual assault or rape, call the 24/7 Safe Connections hotline at 314-531-2003.
Patch editor Joe Scott contributed to this report.

The Highway Patrol and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department are looking for the man who state troopers said was driving a stolen car in excess of 100 miles per hour.
Troopers chased the car off Interstate 77 and onto West Sugar Creek Road at about 10pm Wednesday.
The driver then led offers into the Belmont area where he jumped and ran from the car near the intersection of Seigle Avenue and Parkwood Avenue.
CMPD brought in their helicopter to help search for the suspect. No injuries were reported.

A little slower than planned and I nixed the last interval b/c I was starting to feel dehydrated. 80 degrees F w/80% humidity is rough - I was drinking coconut water between each interval, but not keeping up with sweat rate.

RE: EnduranceKipper-- You should be building the endurance wods in not adding them all back in at once. Progression is key when adding an element to your training. Even when it is something that was in your training before. Choose the number of repeats you complete based on the distance race you are training for and your ability to maintain proper technique over the time or distance.

RE: Two sportsHernan-- You can follow the 3S wods leaving out the swimming day. You can leave the run days on t/th/sun if that works best with your schedule and plug in the 2 bike wods.on the days prescribed. There are a couple whiteboard Wednesday video about making a schedule.

Thanks Kaitlin@Kaitlin - you're right about the hydration. I didn't drink anything after getting out of bed and before the run. I'll definitely remember to drink some water next time before I start.

DP as a Phase, Negation/Intonational Marking
|Bert Remijsen

Does anybody know about languages that mark negation by means of intonation? I found no reference to prosodic marking of negation in Dahl's 1997 typology of sentence negation in 'Linguistics'.
On the other hand, I have come across two languages for which it is reported - Lindstrom (2002 - PhD diss Univ. of Stockholm) reports that in the Austronesian language Kuot, a segmental marker of negation is invariably accompanied by an utterance-final fall-rise contour. Secondly, Roemer (1991 'Studies in Papiamentu tonology') describes a combination of tone shift and downstep, which accompanies a segmental negation-marking morpheme in the creole Papiamentu.
Does anybody know of languages in which negation is marked exclusively by means of prosody, i.e., in the absence of a segmental (morphological or syntactic) encoding? Or do you know other languages showing phenomena where the marking of negation has a secundary prosodic component, like Kuot and Papiamentu? I would be grateful for your any replies, and I will post a summary of them to this list.

Padres deal Greene to Cardinals
Friars receive Worrell and player to be named later
SAN DIEGO -- The Padres didn't wait until the Winter Meetings next week in Las Vegas to start reshaping their roster.On Thursday, the Padres made a trade to add bullpen depth and shed salary, sending shortstop Khalil Greene to the St. Louis Cardinals for Minor League right-hander Mark Worrell, 25, and a player to be named later. The Padres, who are said to be looking at a dramatically reduced payroll in 2009 that could go below $40 million, were to pay Greene $6.5 million next season. The Cardinals will assume Greene's entire contract, general manager Kevin Towers said on Thursday. Worrell was 3-3 with a 2.15 ERA and 80 strikeouts in 58 2/3 innings with Triple-A Memphis in 2008. He has 84 Minor League saves since being selected by the Cards in the 12th round of the 2004 First-Year Player Draft out of Florida International University. Towers said there's upside with the player to be named later, going as far to say that "the player to be named later would be as good if not better than Worrell." The Padres have until April 1 to choose from three players, two pitchers and a position player. "There's a couple guys we want to look at in Spring Training," Towers said, noting that one of the three players could already be frozen on the Cardinals' 40-man roster. Towers has said often this offseason that he wanted to add Major League-ready pitching -- either starters or relievers -- in return for any deal that may be made. "We've been trying to add depth to our pitching staff and feel like we have with Mark Worrell," Towers said. That could still happen, as Towers hopes to deal pitcher Jake Peavy and his $11 million contract sooner rather than later. In fact, Peavy trade talk has occupied much of Towers' offseason.
The talks regarding Greene weren't nearly as frequent, and the deal happened relatively fast. It wasn't until Wednesday when a report in the New York Post said Greene was on the verge of being moved.
"I would say it happened with St. Louis in the last 24 hours," Towers said. "We kind of liked the package St. Louis had to offer. They expressed some interest at the GM meetings. [St. Louis GM John Mozeliak] Mo gave me a call yesterday afternoon and names were exchanged in a three-, four-hour period."Greene, the Padres' first-round pick in 2002 out of Clemson, broke into the Major Leagues in 2003 and became the full-time starter the following season. He excelled defensively and showed good power for a middle infielder during his time in San Diego. Greene's time with the Padres was marred by injuries -- he played in 140 or more games once in his five seasons in San Diego. His best season came in 2007, when he remained healthy and played in 153 games. "I would like to thank the San Diego Padres, the city and fans of San Diego for the opportunity to play in San Diego for five-plus seasons," Greene said in a statement. "The fans of San Diego will be missed and I appreciate their support through not only the great times but also through the down times. I can't wait until April gets here."
Greene, who was named the team MVP in 2007, reached career highs in home runs (27) and RBIs (97) while hitting .254 for a team that missed the postseason by one game.But Greene couldn't replicate that success in 2008, struggling from the start of the season. He hit .214 in April and .196 in May. Finally, on July 30, Greene's frustrations got the best of him when he struck a storage unit outside the dugout after his 100th strikeout of the season, breaking a bone in his left hand. Greene missed the final two months of the season with the injury, and the team filed a grievance to recover as much as $1.47 million of Greene's 2008 salary ($4.5 million) because of the nature of the injury. Greene, 29, was replaced at shortstop by Luis Rodriguez, a natural second baseman, who hit .315 in August and .304 in September. "We're certainly losing a guy who has been a valuable shortstop to us," Towers said. "A major contributor to division-championship ballclubs, gave us all memorable moments on the field. I think it's always tough when you move guys who are homegrown." Towers indicated that the Padres made Greene a multiyear offer "over 12 months ago," but he felt it was doubtful that Greene would stay after his current contract expired. Reports had that offer at four years and $29 million. Unless the team make another deal to land a true shortstop, Rodriguez will likely be the odds-on favorite to start there in 2009, though Towers wouldn't rule out adding a shortstop through free agency or trade. "It's never easy," Towers said of finding Major League-caliber shortstops. "I would say our best option is via trade. There's some people we've kind of identified as free-agency as well as some trade opportunities that may exist." Towers said that while moving Greene and his salary help a team looking to reduce payroll for 2009, he said that wasn't the only factor involved. "We're certainly reducing our payroll. ... I'm not going to say that didn't play into it," Towers said. "Salary and it was a guy we weren't going to be able to retain."

Energy Conservation And X-ray Diffraction
by darkfield
Tags: conservation, diffraction, energy, xray
|Share this thread:
Dec26-12, 06:12 AM
I have a question regarding X-ray diffraction and energy conservation.
If one considers elastic scattering from a rod-like structure, the observed diffraction pattern will change as the sample is illuminated from different directions. For some directions the pattern will be point-like, and for other angles like a circle, all according to the Ewald sphere.
Now, my question is, will the energy scattered to a specific radius |q| in the reciprocal space be constant, assuming that the scattering volume is constant? I.e. will the same amount of energy be scattered to the points as for the whole ring? Or will more of the beam just continue in the forward direction in some cases, just to make sure the overall energy is conserved?
Dec26-12, 01:44 PM
Some xray diffraction calculations do include an exponential decay in the xray beam, often referred to as Beer's Law extinction. Beer's Law extinction always includes the loss of energy due to the shadow of the individual atoms. If the sample is thin enough, one can ignore the exponential decay of the xray beam in the sample.
Something usually ignored in the introduction to xray scattering is the extinction term. The extinction term describes how the "shadow" contributes to the balance of energy.
If the detectors are outside the shadow of the crystal, then the "shadow" can't affect the xray pattern itself. It can effect the intensity of the diffraction lines, but the relative intensities are not affect by extinction. Furthermore, the relative intensities are not effected by "Beer's Law" extinction. Therefore, one can interpret the pattern of xray lines accurately as long as the detectors are outside the "shadow" of the crystal.
Scientists who are interested only in the atomic structure of the crystal consider the extinction terms as "noise". They do xray diffraction experiments in which the xray detectors are located entirely outside the shadow of the crystal.
Sometimes, one wants to know how much of the incident xray radiation was absorbed. Sometimes, one wants to measure the Beer's Law extinction coefficient. Then one tries to place the detectors entirely within the shadow of the crystal. However, this is not considered a diffraction experiment. This is referred to as a transmittance measurement. In a transmittance measurement, the pattern of the xray diffraction is "noise".
The extinction coefficient contains a lot of detail on the electronic structure of the crystal. Therefore, scientists sometimes want to measure only the Beer's Law coefficient without interference. Therefore, the may add an extra device after the crystal to scramble the xray diffraction pattern. However, this is not a diffraction experiment.

I was cleaning up the exhaust manifold yesterday and noticed a small hole about 1/8 inch on the bottom to the left of the carb flange. It was full of dirt so I cleaned it out. Pictures on TMs site have this hole so I guess it's supposed to be there. Is this true and does anyone know what it's for?
How clean does it need to be to have it powder coated?

· 5d Mark II to D800 your thoughts?
Would like to no your honest opinion from actual users. I've been shooting with my Canon system for several years and don't have a lot of gripes other than the focusing system. I do love my skin tones "very important" that the canon produces. I'm only looking to convert because of the dynamic range and the files becoming very close to medium format. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts from working with your 5d2 too working with the d800.

As always it depends on what you like about the Canon system vs what you believe you'll get from Nikon and what you'll probably hate about Nikon. All things considered my usual advice for existing Canon shooters is to get the 5DM3. OOC skintones to you're liking will be easier on the 5DM3, the ergonomics of the body are much better with the 5DM3 IMO (particularly the grip), LV is worlds better if you rely on that feature, along with video. The base ISO DR differences are significant but depending on your shooting they'll probably come into play less often than the system differences you might regret having to adjust to.

Compared to the 5D II, its not even close. I think the D600 is even a better camera, not to mention the D800. It's closer with the Mark III, I would stick with that one, but the 5D II is definitely a step or two behind.

I'm much obliged to be able to answer your questions with a REAL ANSWER from a REAL OWNER of both cameras. I had the 5d2 for 2 years, and sold to go all Nikon.
My flickr will show you examples from both camera. Most of the "sets" are from the 5d2, and newest photo streams are with d800. I shoot almost all landscape, so I'll let you know from that perspective. And I like street photog. First, the D800 is a much, much, much better made and better engineered camera than the 5d2. The AF alone is so much better its ridiculous -- and I never even had an issue with the 5d2 AF. I like Canon's ergonomics a little better, to me they're simple to learn and master. And you have saved settings on top dial.
As far as IQ, yes the D800 has significantly better DR. And high ISO noise is close, to me, at full resolution. I hear if you downsample the D800 to 22mm noise is 1/2 stop or so better than the 5d2. Don't expect drastic improvements in noise or IQ. It's just not there. I hope people don't lose their panties over this statement, but IQ after 21MP is very incremental IMHO. I switched systems because Nikon has better options at UWA lenses -- like the 14-24 or 16-35/4.0 (which I own). It's quite a bit better than the 17-40L I had.
I miss the 35L a lot, and haven't upgraded to Nikon's equivalent because I can't afford it and had other lenses to buy. For me, Nikon has released the 24/1.4, 28/1.8, 35/1.4, 50/1.8G (which I own), and the 85/1.8G (which I'll soon own) in the past few years and that tells me they're ready to become the dominant SLR company in annual sales -- a title Canon has held for a long, long time. Nikon's new, budget primes are all amazing! They blow away anything Canon has at the same price point.
I looked at the 5d3, but with $500 higher in price (at the time), same DR as 5d2, and nearly same MP as 5d2 (and from all accounts, IQ is nearly identical) it was an easy choice. I'd like to have BOTH systems, but it's really pointless bc this is just an obsessive hobby. I make zero $$ off my "work" -- if you will. As said, if you have a ton of L glass then stick where you're at. The 5d2 is still an unbelievable camera, don't get me wrong. I sold mine because the price was dropping quickly with announcement of 5d3. Had the d600 been announced, I would have bought it instead of the D800. It's incredible for the price -- I see some selling new for $1,600. Unbelievable. Get it and buy you the 50 1.8g, 85 1.8g, and 28 1.8g. Also, I have the 24-120/4.0VR and its very.very, very good. I love it. Good luck!!!

Thanks for all the comments it's much appreciated. I have used Nikon exclusively through our studio d3s, d3 and have processed tens of thousands of images from these cams. When they hit they are excellent files to work especially in the shadows, I am still timid on making the switch there is always something that keeps me with Canon. I seem to be right on the verge and something about this complicated Canon System won't let me switch. I think it's time for Medium Format this is the only way I can get the IQ and skin tones I desire. Thanks again for the input.

I had a 5D2
Because the AF was so much better, I liked a D5100 or D7000 more.
The D600 is a definite upgrade, and the D800 better in every way.
My impression of the 5D3 is an uncrippled 5D2.
You might want to get "Hands On" a D800e.

I switched from 5D2 to D800. I prefer everything about the D800 sensor - resolution, DR, noise, colour. I find them equally usable as camera bodies. The lenses might make your decision for you, rather than the cameras.

I can tell you something about what I got that I didn't expect, going from 5D2 to 5D3.
The metering seems better. Indoor shots with room lighting sources in the frame do a much better job of getting the right exposure.
Lower ISO images (up to 800) are not much improved in marginal light, but notably improved with good light. In good light, ISO 800 on 5D3 is pretty much ISO 200 on 5D2. That doesn't mean, unfortunately that you can now shoot noise-free stop-action images in pre-dawn light, however. Those still look marginally grainy.
Higher ISO image quality is more subjectively pleasing. I'm not sure it is more noise-free, at least not if you measure noise by lost detail instead of by visually obtrusive speckles. But the speckles are less obtrusive, and that makes using ISO 6400 or even higher quite useful, if you aren't planning to print large.
The auto-color-balance works better.
The shutter button is much better, at least for my use. Triggers exactly when I expect, and makes it easier to hold the camera still.
The viewfinder seems brighter, but I'm not sure about that one, doing a new-to-old comparison.
The quiet shutter mode is wonderful. Used by preference for most work.
The menu system is better, with a superb customization feature that lets you group everything you are most likely to use on one screen.
Put those together with a worlds-better autofocus system and higher frame rate, and it really is much more than an incremental upgrade. The impression you get using it is that it has strengths everywhere. You aren't working around anythingunless your objective is to make the largest possible prints (>30-inches, say), it's not easy to see how the Nikon competes. But, as always, lens choices can tip the balance, depending on your work.
I should also mention that while I respect the higher dynamic range the Nikon provides, I don't think it's always advantageous to use it even where natural lighting conditions permit, and very often they don't permit, so that benefit is smaller for me than it might be for some others who get high by lifting shadows. I do think it would be a major advantage for Nikon if the work planned was going to be under studio lighting, however.

The 600D is better than a 5D Mark II for me (better AF) being the main reason. If you have L lenses you should get the 5d mark III the AF is insane. Did I mention great AF? The 5D Mark III is a fine camera, I wouldn't just swap systems unless their was something you really really needed.

All these nonsense about 5DII AF is getting ridiculous. 5DII AF is great for what it was designed for. A lot of people like to join the bandwagon and knock 5DII. 5DII was once and still today a work horse for most wedding photographers. I used mine for three years as my main camera and it never failed me.
I honestly did not move over to Nikon for any particular reason. I was bored and got curious about D800 and decided to make a move but I kept my 5DIII,35L,135L,6-35MKII,50/1.4 and 15mm fisheye. I have a feeling that I will eventually move back to Canon because Nikon customer service suck.
Now if you want more DR D800 is the camera for you.

i politely have to disagree. i guess what you shoot or need from a body makes all the difference.
if you shoot landscape or use live view extensively and/or only need center focus no worries with the 5d2. i found the 5d2 to be a very nice camera but i needed all the focus points to work and work with spot metering.
I am very happy I made the move to Nikon.

Gilbert & George's 'Waking' Returns Your Gaze [1]
Submitted by Jennette Mullaney on
Waking (1984) [4], the prismatic High Line Billboard by artists Gilbert & George, draws the eye like a magnet. However, unlike most billboards vying for your gaze on any given day in New York City, this one gazes back.
Such a captivating work of art was bound to inspire photographers, and Waking began to appear frequently in our Flickr pool [5]. We found these shots by Steven Severinghaus particularly striking.
Waking will be on view at West 18th Street through Tuesday, October 1.

TULSA, OK---'Everybody wants to have a holiday, everybody needs something to look forward to, something fun and exciting,' said Larry Merritt, owner of Merritt's Bakery, 'Mardi Gras is just that, it's just a party. Have some good Cajun food, end it with a king cake and all the rest is just fun.'
With Marti Gras nearly at hand, bakeries are working long hours preparing the traditional King cakes.
'We've been making a lot of them every day, but now it really ramps up and we start getting very serious,' said Larry, ' Ending on a week from today, Mardi Gras of Fat Tuesday, and we'll be making several thousand that day.'
This colorful, sugary cake, adorned with bead and coins helps mark the beginning of Lent with a last sweet splurge.
'I think it's really a fun tradition and it's really good,' said Denise Westfall while enjoying one at Merritt's store at 101st and Riverside.
'The baby Jesus is put in because it is part of the epiphany and each person that gets the piece that has the baby Jesus in it,' said Merritt, 'they are responsible for buying the next cake at the next party.'

For many women, deciding when to take a pregnancy test is one more additional source of anxiety as the two-week wait ends. There is the part of you that is dying to know if this month will be the month you finally get pregnant, and you may feel tempted to take the test before your period is late. If you have early pregnancy signs, you may feel even more tempted.
(Wondering if you're having pregnancy symptoms? Take this fun pregnancy signs quiz.)
On the other hand, you are most likely aware that taking the test early may come up negative, even if you are pregnant. So what should you do? How do you decide when to resist and be patient, and when to pee on a stick?
Understand How Pregnancy Tests Work
Before you decide when to take a pregnancy test, it helps to understand how they work. The tests detect pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), in your urine. Some tests also detect a variation of this hormone, known as hyperglycosylated hCG (H-hCG). The regular hCG is produced only after an embryo implants in to the endometrium, while H-hCG begins to be released earlier, some time after fertilization.
Levels of Pregnancy Hormones and Pregnancy Tests
When pregnancy tests tell you how much hormone they detect, they usually tell you how much hCG the test requires. A woman's level of H-hCG, though, is typically higher than hCG. The majority of pregnancy tests are not sensitive to the hormone H-hCG.
If a pregnancy test does detect H-hCG, you're more likely to get a positive result early. If a pregnancy test is not sensitive to H-hCG, and only detects regular hCG, getting an early positive result is less likely. The great majority of pregnancy tests on the market, unfortunately, are not great at detecting H-hCG.
Understanding How Early Result Pregnancy Tests Work
What about early results tests, though, the ones that promise results three or four days before your missed period?
It's important to know that these tests assume a 14-day luteal phase. (That's the time between ovulation and when you get your period.) If your luteal phase is usually 12 days, four days before your missed period would be 9 days after ovulation. Way too early to test.
If you have a luteal phase of 15 days, though, 4 days before your missed period is 12 days after ovulation. You still may not have enough hormone that early, but you've got a much better chance than someone with a shorter luteal phase.
But What About the 99% Accuracy?
If you read the instructions carefully, they are promising 99% accuracy on the day of your missed period — and not for early results. If you expect your period on Wednesday, Thursday would be the day of your missed period. These promises of 99% accuracy, however, may not be true! In research studies, where they compared how much hCG the test claimed to detect and how much it actually detected, the tests were only 46% to 89% accurate. In one study, pregnancy tests, on average, indicated a positive result only 80% of the time on day 28 of the woman's menstrual cycle.
Are You Sure Your Period is Late?
Something else to consider is whether you know if your period is even late.
If you chart your basal body temperature and you know how long your average luteal phase is and you see that you're two days past your longest luteal phase, then you can be pretty darn sure your period is late.
If you don't chart your cycles, though, how can you know if your period is late? What if your cycles are irregular? According to the FDA's website, out of every 100 women, 10 to 20 will not get a positive pregnancy test result on the day they think is just after their missed period, even if they are pregnant.
Pros and Cons of Taking a Pregnancy Test Early
So you've read all of this, but you still feel tempted to take a pregnancy test early.
Consider the pros and cons:
- Very small chance of getting a positive result, relieving some two-week wait stress.
- Good chance of getting a false-negative.
- Feelings of disappointment if you get a negative result.
- Loss of cash. (Tests cost $1 to $18 per test.)
- If positive, possibility of detecting an early miscarriage you may have missed if you hadn't tested early.
The Best Time to Take a Pregnancy Test
If you want to avoid false negatives, or "false positives" (very early miscarriages), the best time to take a pregnancy test is after your period's late. If your cycles are irregular or you don't chart your cycles, I wouldn't take a test until you've past the longest menstrual cycle you usually have.
For example, if your cycles range from 30 to 36 days, the best time to take a test would be day 37 or later.
Also, if you've have had an hCG trigger shot like Ovidrel, then you should not take an early pregnancy test. An early test may detect the remains of the fertility medication.
The Bottom Line on Taking an Early Pregnancy Test
If you feel as if you just can't resist, carefully consider how you'll feel if the results are negative. If a negative test doesn't bother you, and you have cash to spend on pregnancy tests, go ahead.
If a negative result is going to make your heart ache or if you'd rather not waste money on extra tests, though, then wait until you're late. I do.

Coyote Visits Chicago Sandwich Shop
CHICAGO - For one day, at least, the roadrunner was safe. It seems the coyote was hankering for another kind of fast food. Employees and customers at a downtown Chicago Quiznos sandwich shop were stunned to see a coyote walk through the propped-open front door Tuesday afternoon and lie down in a cooler stocked with fruit juice and soda.
"It wasn't aggressive at all," restaurant manager Bina Patel told the Chicago Tribune. "It was just looking around."
Employees and customers calmly cleared out of the restaurant, though some took the time to finish their sandwiches and snap some cell-phone photos, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Animal control officers took the passive coyote away after about 40 minutes, after a curious crowd had gathered outside.
"This one definitely I will definitely remember forever. A coyote in downtown Chicago," Quiznos employee Rick Torres told WLS-TV.
The city captures 10 to 15 coyotes every year, especially in the spring when they are most active, said Anne Kent, director of Chicago Animal Care and Control. Veterinarians will examine the coyote and, if he is not injured, release him into the wild.

Coming off a 17-6 win in their preseason opener, the San Francisco 49ers will go on the road in their second game, traveling to Houston to face the Texans.
After making a brief appearance, or not playing at all, the 49er starters figure to get a little more work in the second preseason game. Quarterback Alex Smith completed all three of his passes in the preseason opener, but Frank Gore, Randy Moss and other notable players did not take the field.
The Texans are also coming off a win, having knocked off the Carolina Panthers 26-13 in their preseason opener. Matt Schaub made a successful return from a foot injury which caused him to miss the final six regular-season games and the playoffs last year. Andre Johnson did not play in the first preseason game due to a groin injury, but he returned to practice this week and head coach Gary Kubiak said he expects Johnson to play against the 49ers.
Game Date/Time: Saturday, August 18; 8:00 p.m. ET
Location: Reliant Stadium, Houston, Texas
TV Schedule: KPIX 5 (San Francisco), KTRK 13 (Houston)

There is no Israeli whose presence in the
The presence of every Israeli in the
The Palestinians, in contrast to us, not only are not allowed to move from Hebron to Tel Aviv, because they like the sea, for example; they are not even allowed to visit the lands and homes their family owned before 1948, nor are they allowed to tour Galilee and visit relatives. The regime of travel permits that has been in place since 1991 deprives all Palestinians of the right to freedom of movement in Israel while the system of roadblocks limits their movement in their own territories.
The right to travel the land is a basic human right, and like any right, when it is not universal, it is a mutilated right, that is, it becomes a privilege. That is a fact, even if most Israelis repress or ignore it. Our presence in the Palestinian territories, which is based on military and political superiority, is therefore violent and arrogant by its very nature, even when it is expressed in pleasant ways, like cultivating gardens in settlements or taking a pre-Shabbat hike.
How do the Palestinians deal with this violence and arrogance? Some take up arms and hope to kill Israelis. However, most choose other ways, civilian and not military, to deal with our non-neutral presence, with the daily violence that is at the basis of every occupying regime. But let us not fool ourselves: most understand those who take up arms.
Therefore when the prime minister of the Ramallah government, Salam Fayyad, expressed his sorrow over the killing of two young armed hikers from Kiryat Arba last Friday, he managed to anger his public. "Any death is unnecessary" he was quoted in Haaretz as saying. These are wise and humane words. If those who are angry at him listened carefully, they would have heard him teaching the Israelis that the death of every Palestinian is also unnecessary. It is not his responsibility that Prime Minster Ehud Olmert did not express sorrow that Israeli soldiers killed Khaldiya Hamdan, a 51-year-old
But Fayyad did not make do with an expression of regret. According to the Palestinian daily Al Quds he said, "the military action was carried out on Palestinian land" and that the authority must "meet its security obligations." Haaretz reported that Fayyad said the authority had already arrested suspects and was cooperating with the Israeli security forces. Now the Shin Bet claims that the two individuals in custody (who gave themselves up) are connected to the Palestinian security services (which the Palestinians deny).
Fayyad suited his response to Israeli and American expectations from the Palestinian Authority. Despite the fact that the Israel Defense Forces is the sole sovereign over the West Bank, the PA is expected to protect Israeli citizens; that is, to act as a sub-contractor for the IDF and the Shin Bet. But Fayyad cannot meet these expectations, because they completely contradict the harshness of the basic experience of every Palestinian he is said to represent – which is the violence of our presence.

Last week Microsoft held their Spring Showcase 2012, a event that features a lot of new info for games coming to Xbox 360. At the event, Valve was nice enough to release some new screenshots for their upcoming title in the Counter-Strike series, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Featuring in the screenshots was of course Xbox 360 gameplay, something that hasn't been seen since Counter-Strike was on the original Xbox. Now that CS:GO is coming to PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360, it will be interesting to see how the dominant PC FPS will do on consoles, a place that sees Gears of War, Halo or Call of Duty appeal more to the mass.
Check out the screenshots below which give a nice view of what to expect on the Xbox 360 version (as well as a hint at a new map), and you can also head over to our game page for the latest on this upcoming sequel to a very favourable game series.

51 NM inmates released by mistake
Updated On: Jul 18 2014 11:53:54 AM CDT
Fifty-one New Mexico convicts were released early because of mistakes in the system.
Corrections Department officials said these errors were made for nearly a decade before they discovered this.
Las Crucens were shocked to hear the news.
"I hope they resolve it for the safety of all of us," said Las Crucen Joe Baca.
"I hope they learn from it. It is scary. You think they'd have been more careful. I hope they got to the bottom of how that miscalculation was made. What kind of faulty arithmetic were they doing that they did something like that?" said Mary Thompson, another Las Crucen.
Corrections officials said this is the result of a complicated sentencing system and miscalculations by employees.
"An inmate will come to prison. They'll spend many years. Lots of things affect their sentencing. They can appeal. They can get more charges. There's just a number of things that cause the sentencing calculation to be a very fluid process," said corrections secretary Gregg Marcantel.
Marcantel told ABC-7 the audit results are disappointing, but officials are working to fix it.
Officials said they can not identify the convicts yet because they do not want them to run before they are caught.
ABC-7 confirmed the inmates who were released included convicted drug dealers, child abusers and even murderers.
Some have already committed crimes and been re-arrested. Others have been brought back to prison after the mistakes were discovered.
Marcantel said they're updating the entire system to ensure this does not happen again. He said they centralized the inmate records bureau to recalculate the sentencing for every inmate.
"Am I embarrassed? No because this is deploying the courage it takes to fix things in a meaningful way. We're as an organization going to have the willingness to confront looking at ourselves in this way to make sure it gets fixed," he told ABC-7.
This is the first phase of a major review of inmate files. Officials are now reviewing violent offenders who were released from 2006 to 2012.

I would look out the window and see them using their arms and hands to tell I'm sure a big story. We live on a beautiful old farm with a barn and a pond in the background. I took this picture from inside so not to disturb them. It's hard to tell what they were really talking about!
We can solve all problems out here.

This is awesome. I see sightings like this on our farm all the time. (The boys) It always makes me wonder just what may happen next around here. Thank God for a free country and the country life.

Was watching one of the games last night - actually, it was probably the Red Sox-Indians game, which of course the Indians won - and saw this fact (at least I hope it's a fact) ...
Only two teams in major league history have opened the season 0-5 and still reached the postseason: the 1974 Pirates and the 1995 Reds.
Hmmm (I thought) ... That's not real encouraging, but at least there were two, right?
Yes. But even those two aren't real encouraging. In fact, those two are downright discouraging.
The '74 Pirates? They went 88-74 to win a weak National League East.
The '95 Reds? Actually, they were pretty good. They won only 85 games, but that was a 144-game season (due to the player strike). Prorate the Reds' 85 wins to 162 games, and they're a 95-win team.
So there's your target, 2010 Red Sox (and Rays) ... the 1995 Cincinnati Reds, managed by Davey Johnson. And those Reds were no fluke, as they'd sported the best record in their division the season before, too. So we know that exceptionally talented teams can lose five straight to open the season and play like gangbusters the rest of the way.
It just hasn't happened often. Not by this measure, anyway. The more interesting list, actually, would be a list of teams that opened the season 0-5 and ultimately played excellent baseball the rest of the way.
I do not have that list, so I will explore just one more avenue of inquiry ...
When pondering a (very short) list like the one above, we have to keep another question firmly in mind ... What sort of team is likely to open the season with five straight losses?
A great team? Probably not.
A good team? Again, probably not.
A mediocre team? Well, not really.
A lousy team? Perhaps.
But the truth is that no sort of team is likely to open the season with five straight losses.
This season, three teams have done it. According to the preseason predictions and projections, one of the teams is (or was) great (Boston), one is good (Tampa Bay) and one is lousy (Houston).
In 2010, only one team (Houston) opened the season 0-5.
In 2009, only two teams (Cleveland and Washington) opened the season 0-5.
In 2008, only one team (Detroit) opened the season 0-5.
Some of these teams were expected to be better than others, but I think it's safe to say that none of them were expected to reach the World Series, as so many of expected the Red Sox to reach the World Series this year.
But we can chase our tail around all day, and wind up devouring ourselves. The Red Sox' start probably doesn't tell us a great deal about how good they are ... but it does tell us, in the most concrete of terms, that they've dug themselves a hole. Not a massive hole, perhaps. But if the Red Sox are going to win 90 games - a rough minimum for a real shot at the postseason - they now have to go 90-67 the rest of the way.
Which of course is far from impossible if they're as talented as we thought, just one week ago. But each new loss does make us question our judgment just a little bit, doesn't it?

(CNN) -- Host Jon Stewart will take an eight-week hiatus from "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" beginning in June, Comedy Central announced Tuesday.
Correspondent John Oliver will fill in while Stewart is directing his first feature film. The movie, titled "Rosewater," was written by Stewart and is based on a book by an Iranian journalist, Maziar Bahari, according to a written statement from Comedy Central.
Bahari traveled to Iran to file reports for "The Daily Show," and was accused of being a spy by the Iranian government and imprisoned, Comedy Central said.
According to Bahari's website, he was released after 118 days.
