The Mars Science Laboratory has landed, it's cameras are snapping images of a never-before seen region of Mars and the "7-minutes of terror" seem like a distant memory. Now that rover Curiosity looks forward to its first weekend on the Martian surface, what plans does it have?
It's preparing for a brain transplant.
This might not sound like your ideal weekend away on an alien world, but Curiosity's brain transplant will prepare it for the next phase of the mission. All the software Curiosity needed for the exciting entry, descent and landing (EDL) is now just surplus code taking up valuable memory.
"We designed the mission from the start to be able to upgrade the software as needed for different phases of the mission," said Ben Cichy of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., chief software engineer for the Mars Science Laboratory.
"The flight software version Curiosity currently is using was really focused on landing the vehicle. It includes many capabilities we just don't need any more. It gives us basic capabilities for operating the rover on the surface, but we have planned all along to switch over after landing to a version of flight software that is really optimized for surface operations."
So, like upgrading an operating system for your PC, Curiosity's team of software engineers are going to upgrade the rover's computers — but rather than simply inserting an installation CD, they have to beam the software and commands over hundreds of millions of miles from Earth to Mars. From Aug. 10 to Aug. 13, a series of steps will be taken to perform the upgrade and prepare Curiosity for surface operations.
According to the JPL press release, the new software will include an image processing algorithm to allow Curiosity to identify potentially hazardous obstacles. This autonomy will allow the rover to map a safe path when negotiating the Martian terrain. As a result, longer, more trouble-free treks will be possible. (A similar operation was carried out for Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity in 2010 to allow the rover to automatically identify points of interest without having to wait for mission control to send the command.) Also, software will be uploaded to give the rover the ability to use tools at the end of the mission's robotic arm.
While the software installation commences, the MSL science team will continue to analyze the images captured by Curiosity to characterize the local region and identify points of interest for further investigation.

'Man of La Mancha' set April 15-17
April 01, 2010
"Man of La Mancha," the Tony Award-winning story of triumph and redemption in the darkest of circumstances, will come to the Bryan College stage April 15-17.
"Man of La Mancha," actually a play within a play, tells the story of a Spanish novelist imprisoned during the Inquisition who creates the story of Don Quixote as his defense in a mock trial staged by other prisoners. The story has a powerful redeeming influence on the other prisoners as they see the noble actions of Don Quixote, an old man who believes he is a knight.
"It's an intriguing story," said director Bernie Belisle, head of the Theatre Department. "I like the overall message that the way people are treated can have a profound redemptive impact upon their lives."
The play stars Jason Hundley, a junior musical theatre major from Knoxville, Tenn., as Don Quixote. Junior Ethan Hargraves from Harrison, Tenn., plays Don Quixote's devoted squire Sancho Panza. Junior Stacia Powell from Santa Anna, Calif., will perform the role of Aldonza, a woman whose life is forever changed by Quixote's kindness. Musical Director Dr. Mel Wilhoit will conduct the orchestral accompaniment. The play is choreographed by Emily Hendrix, a junior from Dayton, Tenn.
Tickets Go On Sale Monday, April 5
- Performances will be at 7:30 p.m., Thu-Sat, April 15-17, in Rudd Auditorium.
- Order your tickets at the Hilltop Players Box Office (Rudd 114 or 423.775.7500).

Healthy fats improve glucose level
December 1, 2011 by Jonathan Landsman
Filed under Natural Cures, Nutrition News, Reverse Heart Disease
Comments Off
(NaturalHealth365) There is a natural way to regulate sugar levels and it seems to have caught researchers' attention. This may have important implications for pharmaceutical firms by giving them a better way to develop safer drugs for diabetics.
According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes; the commonly used drugs for this condition have undesired side effects.
Capric Acid
Capric acid is a medium-chain fatty acid found in saturated fats. It is abundant in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. It is the capric acid and other medium-chain triglycerides, which are responsible for making coconut oil so healthy. Some capric acid can be found in Cow and goat milk. Studies have shown that fatty acids in coconut oil are helpful for the diabetic condition. It has been found that replacing refined carbohydrates with saturated fat helps diabetics. Butter, Ghee and Coconut oil are oils that help with diabetes.
This makes sense since they all contain capric acid. A Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry found that deconoic acid also known as Capric Acid worked well in modulation of diabetes, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression disorders.
The recent study, which was carried out in collaboration with a team of international research and clinical partners from Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, National University of Singapore, The Scripps Research Institute, Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, and University of Michigan showed that decanoic acid is a direct ligand, or binding partner, of PPARγ, and binds and partially activates PPARγ without leading to the development of fat cells.
What was studied was the nuclear receptor (PPARy), which plays an important role in glucose and lipid metabolism and is the target of a class of antidiabetic drug. These drugs have negative side effects like weight gain, and fluid retention, while increasing the risk for cardiovascular events.
"Treatments with decanoic acid and its triglyceride form improve glucose sensitivity and lipid profiles without weight gain in diabetic models," said lead author Venkata R. Malapaka, Ph.D., who conducted his research at Van Andel Research Institute and now works as a Research Fellow in Brigham and Women's Hospital's Center for Interdisciplinary Cardiovascular Sciences. "Together, these results suggest that decanoic acid is a modulating ligand for PPARs and the structure can aid in designing better and safer PPARγ-based drugs."
With nearly 26 million Americans with diabetes and an estimated 79 million with prediabetes, it is a good find. The sufferers of this condition can find relief and slash their risk of of strokes, heart disease and other conditions tied to high sugar levels.
We don't need a better drug, we already have it in its natural form. The healthy fats are in our food supply, or should we say in our whole foods. We don't need a wealth of studies, what we must establish is a healthy lifestyle. The purest, most stable, easy-to-tolerate form of help come directly from the fatty acids of coconuts. Deriving these fats from organic grass fed dairy also is known to help with inflammation. Capric acid is more desirable today because of the high carbohydrate content of our packaged foods.

WVDE News
W.Va. to Incorporate Patriotism into History Lessons
Posted: January 05, 2011
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – As one of only a few states requiring a civics class before students can graduate from high school, the state is now moving to incorporate patriotism lessons within eighth grade history classes.
The move is a joint effort of the West Virginia Department of Education and the West Virginia American Legion. The first offering is a TechSteps activity titled "Symbols of Significance," designed to help students recognize why certain symbols are important to some.
"We need a resurgence of patriotism to keep alive the vision our forefathers had upon which our country was founded," said Robert R. Post with the Frank B. Bartlett Post No. 7 of the American Legion. "We need to guarantee the continued remembrance and gratitude of freedom for all future generations."
The program will use technology to link subject matter about American principles and ideals, patriotism and the American way of life to the classroom. Students will explore the important American principles expressed in symbols they choose to explore and create an electronic patriotic presentation using one of the following:
"Patriotism and an in-depth knowledge of democracy and what it means to be an American citizen are vitally important to our state and our nation," said West Virginia Board of Education President Priscilla Haden. "Citizenship doesn't work unless you know how to be a good citizen."
Incorporating patriotism into the curriculum builds on West Virginia's solid foundation promoting civics education. In recent years, West Virginia has been recognized as a leader for its effort to boost civics education in public schools. In 2007, the state was one of only 13 states to be named in a 2007 study about civics for creating officially sanctioned state commissions on civic education or civic literacy. West Virginia also was recognized in 2008 by the Campaign to Promote Civic Education Center for Civic Education for its efforts to boost civics education in public schools. In addition, the West Virginia Board of Education in 2007 added a non-voting student representative to meetings to spur student interest in government.
The West Virginia Board of Education in 2004 adopted a policy that now requires civic education and government for high school graduation. The board also revised West Virginia's social studies content standards in 2005 to add personal finance to the civics classes. West Virginia's Global21 initiative also puts a special emphasis on civic and economic literacy as well as critical thinking, problem solving, communication skills, global awareness and business literacy.
For more information, contact the West Virginia Department of Education's Office of Communications at (304) 558-2699.
--The West Virginia Board of Education and the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) are committed to ensuring all students in the state are college and career ready when they graduate from a public school. What West Virginia students are learning in school exceeds national and international standards. Through the WVDE's 21st century learning plan called "Global21: Students deserve it. The world demands it.," West Virginia is seeing better student performance on the West Virginia Educational Standards Test 2 (WESTEST2); the SAT and the ACT college entrance exams; the job skills assessment called Work Keys given to career and technical education students; and in a high school graduation rate that exceeds the national average.

Deluxe Edition: 17th annual Jewish Book Fair packed with speakers and special events
By Susan DeMaggio
It's 11 days of hard-hitting topics and lighthearted musings, presented by folks so stoked about them that they've written books on the subjects and are arriving by the planeful to share their thoughts and observations.
The authors are coming! The authors are coming!
And they will be here as guests of the 17th annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair comprised of Morning Coffee Conversations, Talks Over Lunch, and Evening Lectures, Nov. 3-13, mainly at the Jewish Community Center in La Jolla.
The authors are prime ministers' sons, historians, novelists, baseball players, psychiatrists, journalists, broadcasters, musicians, chefs, rabbis, comedians and ADHD survivors. Their topics run the gamut from "The Rise of the Israel-Islamic Conflict" to "How We Age" to "The Secret Lives of Wives." Real page-turners.
The JCC's Marcia Wollner, Director of Literary Arts and Educational Resources, described the book fair this way: "We believe that that it is our mission to expose the community at large to new ideas, great thinkers … and that literature nourishes one's soul and mind. We believe that this program provides something for everyone — including families, children, teens, educators and adults.
"To this end, we've added Yon Limmud: San Diego's Community Day of Learning, as the culmination to the fair. This new program will enable the community to come together in one venue at one time to experience many concurrent programs. With the addition of Yom Limmud, we will be providing the community with more speakers than in the past over this amount of time."
The book fair opens with Ariel Sharon's son Gilad discussing his father's legacy as presented in the biography "Sharon: The Life of A Leader," at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 5. It closes with NBC correspondent Martin Fletcher reading from his semi-autobiographical novel, "The List," at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 12.
In between are book signings, performances, receptions, a Mom's Night Out, Yom Limmud (Day of Learning), and of course, a book sale with thousands of titles.
The book fair also features two theatrical works. There will be a performance at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 13 of "Life in a Jar: The Irena Sendler Project," which tells the story of Warsaw ghetto families who placed their Jewish children in Polish families, convents and orphanages to escape the death camps, and the non-Jewish social worker who made lists of the children's real names, put the lists into jars and buried them, so someday she could dig up the jars and tell the children their real names.
And at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 3 there will be a staged reading of "General Orders No. 11," and a discussion with historian Joellyn Zollman, Ph.D., on the banishment of Jews by General Ulysses S. Grant from his military district on 24-hours notice, which forced 30 families from Kentucky to flee upriver to Cincinnati, not knowing if they'd ever see their homes again.
Among the authors to appear are Adam Mansbach with his children's book for adults, "Go the F*** to Sleep"; journalist Thanassis Cambanis, with "A Privilege to Die: Inside Hezbollah's Legions and Their Endless War Against Israel"; Rabbi Mark Glickman, with "Sacred Treasure: The Cairo Genizah"; absurdist and musician Adam Chester with "S'Mother: The Story of a Man, His Mom, and the Thousands of Altogether Insane Letters She's Mailed Him"; and psychologist Wendy Mogel, who follows up her bestsellers on parenting with "Blessing of a B Minus."
The Jewish Book Fair is sponsored its founders and The Viterbi Family Foundation and presented by the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture.

PHOTOS: At the Sitzprobe of NOLI ME TANGERE-OPERA
"Filipino Americans are not known to produce a full-scale opera because it's very expensive to produce one. At the same time, Filipino American investors, in particular, are more attracted to shows that are not ours; they're very skeptical. I understand that sentiment though," said Dadap.
He continued, "However, both Filipino American and American audiences shouldn't miss this rare musical experience. NOLI ME TANGERE-OPERA is every Filipino's story set to Felipe de Leon's finest score [which Bayani de Leon, son of the esteemed composer, also claims]. This operatic masterpiece by de Leon and Guillermo has great sense of nationalism; the lyrics are in Tagalog [supertitles in English will be provided], which make it even more powerful for the Filipino Americans in the audience."
Of note, de Leon and Guillermo, who was obsessed with Dr. Rizal's landmark novel, finished the opera in 1957. According to dramaturg Randy Gener, the opera was, however, "not the first Filipino opera ever written. That honor belongs to 'Sandugong Panaginip,' a 1902 work with a libretto by Pedro Paterno and music by Ladislao Bonus. The difference is that 'Sandugong Panaginip' was a one-act Tagalog opera made up of five scenes, while De Leon's 'Noli' opera was written with two acts, making it the country's first full-length grand opera."Loida Nicolas Lewis, New York-based businesswoman, philanthropist and this production's chairperson, first saw a performance of NOLI ME TANGERE-OPERA--its American premiere performed by a diverse cast singing the songs in Tagalog--at Harris Theater at Millennium Park in Chicago June last year.
That rare musical experience has prompted her to bring de Leon and Guillermo's opus to New York.
"The music of de Leon is world-class in that vein of Puccini and Verdi. However, de Leon's kundiman strain throughout the piece is very strong," said Lewis. "Filipinos should be proud. This is our own. Ang galing natin."
The musical presentation, an opera in Three Acts, follows the story of Juan Crisostomo Ibarra who returns to the Philippines after pursuing scholarly studies in Europe. He plans to open up a school and marry Maria Clara, his bethrothed. However, parish priest Padre Damaso, the archenemy of the Ibarras, is out to hinder Crisostomo's plans, which creates "a dramatic storyline of forbidden love, betrayal and revenge."NOLI ME TANGERE-OPERA stars world renowned Filipino opera singers Sal Malaki (Juan Crisostomo Ibarra), Antoni Mendezona (Maria Clara), Andrew Fernando (Padre Damaso), Robert Perlas Gomez (Elias) and Maria Christina Navarro (Sisa) and young singer Kirby Asunto (Basilio). It also features a diverse ensemble cast: Brad Arreglado, Jonathan Estabrooks, Rosemarie Flores, May Hackett, William Lim, Brittany Palmer, Allan Samonte, Rina Saporantos, Elijah Sirilan, Zion Sirilan, Ulises Solano, Sherwin Su, Lisa Villamaria and Resty Yongco.
Besides Dadap (artistic and musical direction), creative and production team members also include May Pamana (direction), Rene Dalandan (assistant stage direction), Kristin Jackson (choreography), Jeff Davis (lighting design), Jerry Sibal (set and costume design), Natalie Qing Zhang (stage management) and Clare Chujie Xu (assistant stage management).
Major sponsors are Reginald F. Lewis Foundation, Goldman Sachs & Co., J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Alvarez Educational & Charitable Fdn. CiAT Funds, Philippine Development Foundation, US Philippine Society, Leslie Lewis Sword, GMA Pinoy TV/ GMA Life TV and Maharlika Restaurant.

"After I get my lightweight title belt and hold that for awhile, then I'll do 145, maybe. But I want my belt first. I didn't cut one pound [for the Pettis fight]. I'm a midget. I'm very undersized for lightweight. It's one of those… I have fun. Like I said, I've been here, we've made our stake at lightweight. I've paid my dues. I want my belt first then we'll move on from there."
UFC lightweight contender Clay Guida, who didn't need to cut any weight for his Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 13 Finale fight against Anthony Pettis, tells the MMA Nation radio show (via Pro MMA Now) that he recognizes his size disadvantage within the promotion's stacked 155-pound division and may even consider a drop to featherweight -- after he wins the lightweight title. Was there anything in "The Carpenter's" performance back on June 4 to convince you he's got the goods to grab the gold? Or is he in for a rude awakening against the top of the food chain? Any Maniacs out there think the self-proclaimed "midget" has a better shot at 145? Opinions, please.

'Well, for instance, that a play is more than a play. It's also part of a gameplan, and a season, and a job, and a career. Sometimes I might call a play in the first quarter knowing it might not work that well. Later on, though, that's when I run it again and it still doesn't work. After THAT though, I'll call something that looks like the other play to fool them and it's something else entirely. That's the whole point. Sometimes I might call a play a bunch for an entire season, just to fool people two or three years down the road. People don't understand that because they don't see the big picture.'
'Well if I told them what I was doing, everyone else would know and the whole thing would be ruined. The problem is when they come back and show you a play that looks really bad, and they don't understand that there are other plays that are really connected to that play but you can't just come out and say,"LOOK in a couple of weeks I'm going to run a stop and go off of that and it is gonna be AWESOME! You'll see what happens." '
'What happens is that it works! Sometimes. About half the time; actually probably more like 5% of the time. When it does work, though, I feel like it's all worth it. Those times when everything comes together in a flash and you see true beauty on the field: those are the times that I feel like a touchdown is maybe sometimes worth more than seven points.'
'They say,"A touchdown is always worth seven points."'
Gainesville, FL
'I would say that my favorite play is the dive."
'Oh yeah, definitely. First play is always the dive, really. If it's not you're getting away from your gameplan.
'Second down? That's pretty good dive territory too, depending on what happens on first down. It's good if it worked on second, because if it worked once it'll work again? You should also run it if it doesn't work, because you need to get to 3rd and manageable. Otherwise, do something else.
'Third down is the money down and you got to go with your best play, which in our case is the dive. The whole point of first and second down is to get to a third down where the dive is going to work. Of course, they never see it coming on third and long, either, so that works too.
'On 4th down we usually punt. Unless we're really close, and then..."
Auburn AL
"Two hundred thousand? Let me see...yeah, I think we can do that."
Happy Valley, PA
'Yeah, I told him just the other day that I still love it as much as I ever did. I may never retire. I could work for the rest of my life. Just me and the game and my kids and my grandkids. Just the other day, I was at Wal Mart with my grandson, and he wanted one of these gizmos they sell there, and I told him,"Son - I said son, even though he's my grandson - one day you'll be older like me and you'll realize there's more to life than gizmos. Why when your father was younger I remember telling him,'Son, when I was your age - ' " '
What do you mean you don't have time to hear about my grandkids? Who the hell is this?
"Bryan? Bryan who?
'Who are you?'
'I called you? Why?
'I did no such thing. I don't even know what Cialis is.'

LRG presents… The making of Meyhem Lauren's "Respect The Fly Shit"
"Recorded and completed in a hotel room during SXSW this year, Respect the Fly Shit from Meyhem Lauren is a gathering of some of the biggest names in underground hip-hop. The marathon session features contributions from the likes of Action Bronson, AG Da Coroner, Heems of Das Racist, Despot, Riff Raff and produced completely by Tommy Mas and Harry Fraud. The "unexpected birth" may be a treat that no one saw coming, but rest assured, it's coming soon. Labeled "organized chaos," some of the key people behind the mixtape talk about the varying factors that went into 24-hours of respecting the fly shit."
Hip Hop Game "Meyhem Lauren" Interview (2013)
Meyhem Laurenovitch stops by HipHopGame to talk about his Buckwild project, how an album with DJ Muggs came about, his relationship with Action Bronson, and more in this exclusive interview.
Our last interview was over a year ago. You released two dope free projects and took on a variety of other projects in that time. What's this past year been like for you?
The past year, it's kind of been hectic. It's been a lot of work. I'm working on multiple projects right now, just staying busy. I'm doing a lot more shows and a lot more solo shows and a lot more shows with [Action] Bronson. It's been crazy.
Did you expect to blow up like this or has the love been an unexpected surprise?
I always expected the both of us to surprise. I didn't think it would happen as quick as it did, but I always expected it to happen.
I've always appreciated that you dropped consistently good music. What do you attribute your success to?
I think it's what you just said. If you consistently put out quality, you can't be denied. If you're just always there, dropping something new that's fire, and keep hitting 'em, how could you front on someone like that?
What's your creation process like?
I rarely ever scrap a record or a verse or anything, for that matter. Occasionally sometihng won't fit and I'll hold it back, but it all depends on the project. You already said, I'm not like a one-hit wonder guy. Maybe I won't even be the hit guy. We'll see what happens down the line. I try to place things on the right project. I don't think about making the perfect song. I think about making the perfect project. I knock music out and then try to decide where to place it. It'll all make sense later.
You're probably recording more songs than you ever have, especially with the variety of projects you're working on. Has your writing process changed at all?
It really has to do with the production, to be honest. I let the production tell me what to do. Sometimes I hear a beat and I'll be like, 'All right, this is just go right from your head to the paper.' Other beats are a story beat or a beat that you kind of want to explain something on or a party beat. It's really all about the production.
Is there anything you listen for in a beat that makes you decide what you rock over and what you pass on?
Yeah, there is, but I can't really explain what it is. It's just like a certain feeling. I'll know after ten sconds of hearing a beat whether it's a keeper or not. That's how it goes, really.
You've taken on a variety of projects. The one you've been working on for a while is the Buckwild LP. How's that coming?
It's good. It's pretty much done. We might have to do two or three more records, but the Buckwild project is pretty much a wrap. We have a situation for it and it should be coming out very shortly.
What was it like working with Buckwild?
Buck is dope. He's someone I've always looked up to. At the end of the day, I'm a fan. I'm a fan that just happens to rap and make a career off of it. I'm working with a dude I grew up listening to and I'm able to get feedback from him. It's a good thing.
What did you take away from working with Buckwild?
One thing I can say about Buck is that he's kind of like a perfectionist. And that's good because I try to be as sharp as possible whenever I lay down a song, but Buck is really like, 'Yo, Mey, you can do that better' and, 'Do that over.' I appreciate that. It might annoy some artists, but if Buck is saying to do it over, I think that is going to make our project perfect.
And you know what? Since I worked with Buck, I'm even more of a perfectionist on my other projects now 'cause I know I can make this sharper, I can make this better. I'm just focused on the finished product more than I was. Working with Buck just changed my career in general.
You're also working on an EP with J-Love, someone you go way, way back with. How's that project coming?
It's dope. He's the first person I ever worked with. Doing something with him is just natural. In the past few years, I've worked with a bunch of other producers and artists in general, but it's always good to come back to your roots and rocking with J-Love is always good. His beats are a perfect fit for my music. It's dope. We actually want to do an LP. We're putting out the EP first to make some noise with it and try to get somebody behind the LP. That's what the whole reasoning is with doing the EP. There's a hundred J-Love beats that I want to rhyme on. We're going to do the best six or seven and then work on the LP down the line.

Meyhem Lauren – Village Voice Interview (2012)
Room 426 at the Embassy Suites hotel in Texas might not be up there with the great rap recording studios, but for two days earlier this year it was transformed into an impromptu hip-hop spot by Meyhem Lauren. While he was there, the Queens resident and long-time Action Bronson associate cut a new mixtape, which is now released today via Das Racist's Greedhead label. Titled Respect The Fly Shit, the project showcases Lauren's weighty way with words, and has been preceded by a video for "Special Effects" that co-stars Heems wearing a very silly hat.
With Meyhem Lauren's profile looking to receive its biggest boost yet, we checked in with him to talk about going way back with Das Racist, his obsession with Ralph Lauren's Polo clothing line, and why he's convinced the Wu-Tang Clan are the greatest ever rap group in the world.
How does Respect The Fly Shit differ from projects you've released before?
I would say there was less thought put into it, as far as the concepts concerned, which I think created better music. We did the majority of this project in two days in a hotel room in Texas, so the vibe was like we were on vacation, in a different element, doing so many shows, and in a hyper environment—which is the feeling I wanted the album to have.
What was the hotel room like?
The hotel room was crazy! There was a lot of room service, a lot of barbecue, a lot of smoking, a lot of drinking. It was at South by South-West. It was a crazy environment—I honestly don't know how they didn't kick us out! We had a mic on top of the ice bucket, you know, we just set up shop and turned the hotel into a recording studio.
What was the most over-the-top thing you ordered from room service?
I believe Action [Bronson] ordered like 26 crab cakes! That was just to do it. Then he ordered everyone ice cream sundaes too. They were smoking so much they out some sort of machine outside of our room, like a high-tech vaporizer that looked like a proton pack from Ghostbusters. If we didn't order so much room service I'm convinced they would have kicked us out.
Did you give the hotel room turned recording studio a name?
Nah. I think it was room 426 though. Embassy Suites, we love you!
The mixtape's being released via Greedhead. How did you hook up with Das Racist?
I've actually been friends with them for a while. We had mutual friends; we met before they blew up. We've been cool for a while. When I met them, I was kinda not doing music—I was in a down period—then when I started again they were like, "Let's work 'cause we're already cool."
Were you surprised that they were making music themselves?
Nah. They told me they had a plan and they made it happen. I think they might be surprised at how far they've got, but I'm glad for them.

Cheese Potato Soup Recipe
Our Test Kitchen downsized this family-favorite soup from Katie Peat of Palmer, Illinois. "It's creamy and smooth, and easy to make," says Katie. "I serve it with sandwiches or crackers and dip."
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup each chopped onion, celery and carrot
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
- 2-1/2 cups water
- 1-1/3 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
- 1/2 pound process cheese (Velveeta), cubed
- In a large saucepan, combine the potato, onion, celery, carrot, bouillon and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are almost tender.
- Stir in mixed vegetables and chicken soup. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in cheese just until melted (do not boil). Yield: 5 cups.

I did not make this soup - based on the ingredients alone it does not deserve a 5 star rating
I appreciate the nutrition breakdown! I cook from scratch to increase the nutritional value of my food.Lower the sodium and increase the quality of this soup by using real cheese such as colby jack. Make your own cream soup dry base mix to further lower the sodium content and increase the nutritional value. Use MSG free chicken base.I like the recipe on line that uses mashed potato flakes and thyme - very cost effective to reduce sodium and give up the canned soup route
Reviewed Sep. 22, 2011
Much, too much sodium. Would not even
attempt. Thanks for the information ahead of time.

Welcome back to Shaming Racists: the Halloween Edition! Ladies and gentlemen, I present:
Caitlin Cimeno, also known as Kt Cimeno of Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts. Employed at Our Market Liquor Store.
William Filene from Quincy, Massachusetts.
This is all public on facebook. All three pictures can be found on Caitlin Cimeno's Instagram, @ktcimeno.
There's no question that the three of them are racists, but Caitlin disgusted me by taking an unconsented picture of somebody else's little girl, somebody else's child, and using them as the target of racism for a facebook status. I'm including that too because how nasty do you have to be? As if the Halloween photos don't answer that question.
Let me add that this stuff right here, EVERYBODY, is the reason you can't darken your skin to portray a Black person. Because this is used to dehumanize us. Whether you intend to or not, you are perpetrating Blackface.
Caitlin Cimeno, Greg Cimeno, and William Filene are three of thousands. But justice will be served where it can. For them to make a mockery of Trayvon Martin's death is disgusting, as is every single person praising them in the comments and every person defending them.
Look at how little value Black lives have in some people's lives. Look at how today, yes, in 2013, our deaths are something to be laughed at, mocked, and our bodies worn as a Halloween costume. This is how we are dehumanized. Only one of thousands of ways.
Happy fucking Halloween.
this is actually beautiful
Reindeer Games December 2012
This year's Christmas card, featuring two of Santa's elves playing hookie with Donner. The reindeer races are the talk of the town, you have to understand!
- I'm giving these away for Christmas! I got some extra metallic art prints of these when I ordered the cards this year. They are metallics and they are so shimmery and glimmery and splendid (my grainy phone camera does them no justice)! So if you're following me, reblog it and you'll get one as a free gift while my supply lasts!
- Please have your ask box open so I can contact you for shipping details. Also, some random people will get a tiny 2x3 original ink scribble from me of whatever they want BECAUSE IT'S CHRISTMAS (sexy dwarves? time-traveling Doctors? your dog? your OC, etc, it's all fair game). I'll determine who gets the scribblepresents via a random generator (and the people that get them miiiiight not receive them til after the holiday). MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Coast Guard:
Resources Provided for Drug Interdiction Operations in the Transit Zone, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands

What GAO Found
The Coast Guard provided varying levels of resources for drug interdiction operations in the "transit zone"—the area from South America through the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean that is used to transport illicit drugs to the United States—during fiscal years 2009 through 2013, and generally did not meet its performance targets for several reasons. As the figure shows, Coast Guard resources included vessels (cutters), aircraft, and law enforcement detachments. The number of cutter days, aircraft hours, and law enforcement detachment days the Coast Guard provided for drug interdiction operations in the transit zone varied during fiscal years 2009 through 2012, and then sharply declined in fiscal year 2013. For example, in fiscal year 2012, the Coast Guard provided 1,947 cutter days for transit zone operations and in fiscal year 2013 the Coast Guard provided 1,346 days—a 30 percent decline. During fiscal years 2009 through 2013, the Coast Guard met targets for its primary drug interdiction mission performance measure—the removal rate of cocaine from noncommercial vessels in the transit zone—once, in fiscal year 2013. Coast Guard officials cited the declining readiness of its aging vessels, delays in the delivery of replacement vessels, and sequestration as factors affecting Coast Guard resource deployments and the ability to meet its drug interdiction mission performance targets.
Coast Guard Resources Used to Support Drug Interdiction Operations
In support of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) effort to address the increased violent crime associated with illicit drug smuggling into Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Coast Guard has increased vessel and aircraft operations for drug interdiction efforts in these territories by reallocating resources from elsewhere in the Coast Guard. According to Coast Guard officials, these additional resources are drawn from other missions, such as alien migrant interdiction. Beginning in September 2012, the Coast Guard implemented a surge operation to provide additional vessels and aircraft to regularly patrol Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. According to Coast Guard officials, the increased vessel and aircraft deployments have since become the new baseline level of resources to be provided for drug interdiction operations there. According to Coast Guard data, the number of vessel hours spent conducting drug interdiction operations in these territories more than tripled from fiscal years 2009 through 2013. Similarly, the number of maritime patrol aircraft hours spent conducting drug interdiction operations in the territories increased—from about 150 flight hours in fiscal year 2011 to about 1,000 hours in fiscal year 2013.
Why GAO Did This Study
One part of the U.S. National Drug Control Strategy is to disrupt the flow of cocaine through the transit zone. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the only U.S. territories located geographically within the transit zone, have served as entry points for cocaine destined for the continental United States. In recent years, federal and local government agencies have cited growing levels of violent crime in these territories and attribute this violence to illicit drug trafficking. Within DHS, the U.S. Coast Guard is the lead federal agency for maritime drug interdiction and a key provider of resources to support drug interdiction operations in the transit zone and the two territories.
GAO was asked to examine the Coast Guard's drug interdiction efforts in the transit zone, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This report addresses (1) trends in the Coast Guard's deployment of resources in the transit zone and the extent to which the Coast Guard met its performance targets; and (2) actions taken by the Coast Guard to combat drug smuggling into Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and trends in vessel and aircraft deployments. GAO analyzed Coast Guard data for fiscal years 2009 through 2013 on drug interdiction resource deployments and mission performance, and interviewed Coast Guard and DHS officials involved in drug interdiction operations.
What GAO Recommends
GAO is not making recommendations in this report. DHS provided technical comments on a draft of this report, which were incorporated, as appropriate.

BSU professor: It is time to introduce "tax on wealth" in Belarus
12:30, — Society
24568 views
The scandalous dean of BSU's economic faculty came forth with a new initiative.
This time Mikhail Kavalou, already well known for his original statements and propositions, spoke in support of introducing a "tax on wealth".
"As early as in 1995 Aliaksandr Lukashenka announced that we would be building a socially oriented market economy, - the professor reminded in an interview to Narodnaja Newspaper. - This means that the inequality between the rich and poor in Belarus is not as significant as in certain countries in the world. We almost do not have people living beyond the poverty line. By Gini coefficient (an indicator showing the degree of inequality of income distribution) Belarus is among top-10 countries of the world with the lowest difference in incomes. We are behind Denmark, Sweden and Slovenia, but ahead of Germany. It is clear that the standards of living are higher there, but the indicator of inequality between the rich and poor is lower here".
Mikhail Kavalou emphasized that the difference between the ten percent of the most wealthy and ten percent of the poorest in our country accounts to five times, while in Russia, China, the USA this coefficient is at the level of 12-15 times. The professor claimed that the state stood on the positions of social justice, including by the means of accessible education and health care, social care payments, the system of subsidies for most important social services.
"Of course, the rich get richer here too, - he pointed out. – Let's not forget that there is a flat income tax in Belarus, and the tax amounts to the lowest in the world. Besides, unlike our neighbors, we do not make social security payments. The employer does that for us. Considering that, it has probably come to the necessity of discussing the introduction of a tax on wealth. It should be tolled not when a person receives money, but when they spend it. Let's assume, someone is building a palace outside the city on the total area of 400 square meters and in addition to that has an apartment of 200 square meters, so such a real estate should probably be tolled with a quite a high tax. This money could be used to support unprotected groups of people, in order not to let the inequality coefficient grow".
We would remind that for the first time in Belarus they thought of introducing a "tax on wealth" two years ago. However, the deputy minister for taxes and taxation Aliaksandr Darashenka then stated that they were not going to introduce it.

Imperial® 464-FH Heavy Duty 180° Tubing Bender Handles Tough Metals
GLENWILLOW, OHIO (September 27, 2005) — Stride Tool Inc., a worldwide designer and manufacturer of specialty hand tools, today unveiled its new Imperial® 464-FH Heavy Duty 180° Tubing Bender, which is designed to accurately bend tubing up to 180° in stainless steel and other tough metals. The 464-FH is designed for 1/4-in. to 1/2-in. outside diameter tubing.
The 464-FH features Imperial's patented Roto-Lok™ releasing collar and indexing handle. These allow the 474-FH to bend tubing up to 90°, rotate and lock into a new position, and bend the tubing up to another 90°. The quick-action trigger release repositions the two-stage handle midway through the bend when both handles begin to meet. That means easy fabrication of bends up to 180° with reduced effort, better control and no crossing of handles.The 464-FH eliminates scoring of tubing thanks to rollers in the bending handle that reduce friction and bending effort. Ergonomically molded cushion grips are durable and comfortable to use.
Stride Tool Inc. designs, manufactures and markets professional and DIY hand tools for a global customer base. Its brand, Imperial®, is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2005 and is sold through HVAC, retail, industrial and automotive distribution.The privately held company operates production facilities in Illinois, New York and Ohio.

A Brief History of Lower Walnut Creek
Lower Walnut Creek today looks significantly different than when it was channelized over 60 years ago. Even back in 1963, when the Corps began its efforts in the watershed, Lower Walnut Creek was far from pristine and untouched.
When farms and fields are developed into commercial, residential, and industrial uses, areas where water used to drain into the soil became paved over. This new impervious surface meant that less water soaked into the ground and more ran off into creeks. Natural processes had formed the creeks to a certain size, and this additional runoff meant the creeks flooded more often.
To make matters worse, some of the most desirable flat lands for farming and development were near the creek in its historic floodplain. The high value of this land set up tremendous pressures to reduce flood damages and tame the creek.
Historic aerial photos from 1939 show the alignment of Walnut Creek to be significantly different from when the Corps began work in 1963. In the 1940s and 1950s, the natural creek was channelized by neighboring landowners to help keep stormwater in the creek and to pass it through the system efficiently. When the Corps was asked to help the situation in the 1960s, the resulting project further widened the already channelized creek and constructed levees to allow the water to rise higher without escaping.
The newly-formed Flood Control District (District) was the non-federal sponsor for this work by the Corps of Engineers and signed agreements saying they would own and maintain the channel in perpetuity. Calculations at the time showed the channel would need minimal maintenance, and sufficient funds were available to perform this maintenance.
Soon after Lower Walnut Creek was handed over to the Flood Control District for maintenance, it became clear that much more sediment was depositing in the creek than was originally calculated by the Corps. The Corps returned in 1973 and participated in dredging the lower channel, removing over 850,000 cubic yards of sand and mud.
When the District prepared to dredge the channel again in the early 1990s, it because clear that significant habitat for wildlife had formed in the channel since the last invasive dredge and getting regulatory permits necessary to do this work would prove difficult and enormously costly. This difficulty was compounded by the reduction in the district's property tax funds as a result of the passage of Prop 13 in 1978.
Unfortunately, leaving the habitat in place was not an acceptable maintenance practice in the eyes of the Corps of Engineers. This conflict put the District in a no-win situation:
- Should the District remove all the vegetation and habitat in the channel to restore it to its 1960s configuration?
- Should the District allow the sediment, vegetation and habitat to remain but be out of conformance with the Corps maintenance requirements?
The District chose a third option, which was to partner with the Corps of Engineers to reevaluate the operation of the channel and transform it into a more sustainable facility. This is the genesis of the Lower Walnut Creek Restoration Project.

Players Comment On Wildcard WeekendPosted by on January 9, 2012 – 11:23 am
Part of what makes the NFL America's Game is the fact that anything could happen. 'Any given Sunday' was expanded to a very wild wildcard weekend, as all four home teams unexpectedly won, leaving my playoff bracket dead in the water (1-3).
But I digress.
The Redskins actually had a rooting interest in each one of the four games this weekend. Here's a recap:
Cincinnati 10, Houston 31:
Outside of the obvious Redskins coaching ties to Houston, there weren't that many reasons to be excited about Houston winning this game. That is, unless of course you're a special teams fanatic, and you cheered for Texans punter, former Redskins punter Matt Turk. Turk is the Redskins franchise leader in net punt average, a number that was threatened all year by Saverio "Down Under Thunder" Rocca, who fell just short of Turk's mark. It may be a tad obscure to cheer for a punter who hasn't played for the Redskins since 1999, but it's nice to have a rooting interest. It was also nice to see Kyle Shanahan's prodigy receiver Andre Johnson get five receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown.
Detroit 28, New Orleans 45:
New Orleans is the landing spot of recently-departed Redskins practice squad offensive lineman Eric Olsen, who thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere of his first career playoff game:
I love ND with all my heart but I've never seen an environment like that. Saints fans have something special going in that dome. #WhoDat—
Eric Olsen (@EOlsen69) January 08, 2012
Dont even know how to describe the spectacle that took place last night. Now I understand what every1 has been saying. Gave me the chills.—
Eric Olsen (@EOlsen69) January 08, 2012
On top of that, former Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams put together another solid defensive performance for the Saints, en route to a big time victory. Their next stop is in San Francisco.
Falcons 2, Giants 24:
The Giants were the only team that played this weekend that the Redskins played during the season. Given the 24-2 hurt that the Giants laid on the Falcons, the Redskins should feel a bit of accomplishment for beating the Giants twice this season. The Giants may be an 8-8 team from a division with no winning teams, but they had a dominant showing against one of the stronger teams the Redskins will face next season. I don't cheer for other teams in the NFC East, but the Giants' success boosts the value of those two Redskins victories.
Steelers 23, Broncos 30:
I'm not saying it's impossible, but I am saying that most people outside of Colorado called the Steelers to win this game. I'm an anti-hype fan, but maybe there is something to this Tim Tebow thing. Redskins players certainly seemed to think so. Here's a recap of the reactions:
Josh Wilson (@TheJoshWilson) January 09, 2012
Tebow Tebow Tebow Tebow—
Chris Baker (@cbaker92redskin) January 09, 2012
Steelers stacked the box and made tebow make plays with his arm to win the game. That he did. Wow!!—
Reed Doughty (@doughty37) January 09, 2012
Donte' Stallworth (@DonteStallworth) January 09, 2012
London Fletcher (@LFletcher59) January 09, 2012
Wow !!! #unpredictable—
MarKus White (@Em_Whyte55) January 09, 2012
Tebow went 10-21, 316 yards, 2 TD, 1 Rush TD vs the #1 defense in the NFL with a WIN. Tebow is a winner. Been saying that since day one.—
Travon Bellamy (@Travon_Bellamy) January 09, 2012
The only reason Tim Tebow won't be president someday is because he wasn't born in the US, lol!—
Adam Carriker (@BigPoppaPump94) January 09, 2012
Adam Carriker, a.k.a. "Big Poppa Pump," has a point–according to the almighty Wikipedia, Tebow was actually born in the Philippines, thus disqualifying him for presidential consideration. And while as a football fan I can appreciate his grittiness on the field, I question his foreign policy credentials [This is a joke].
The other thing that should not be forgotten in the avalanche of 'Tebowmania' is that former Redskins star Champ Bailey was outstanding late in yesterday's game. If not for a pass defensed in the final minutes of the game, the Steelers would have had the ball in field goal range and the game would have never gone to overtime. Instead–with his defensive prowess–he knocked former Redskins Ryan Clark and Shaun Suisham out of the postseason.
What were your thoughts on Round 1 of the 2011 playoffs? Did you remember a play or players with Redskins ties that I've forgotten? Feel free to share.

The Texans staff has close ties to the Redskins staff. Off & Def style are similar, too.

He is a natural-born citizen under jus sanguinis, and would be eligible for the presidency.
You might be confusing "natural-born citizen," which is the qualification for the presidency, with the concept of jus soli, which is the principle that one is a citizen of somewhere if they are born there. The US has that principle (many other countries do not) but it is not the only way to be a natural-born citizen.

I find this a bit awkward and frankly... disturbing.
Is there a new belief out there that the dead will log in online in the afterlife? Perhaps read the messages, and realize that they are missed? Will the dead FB while passing time in purgatory? Or maybe, just maybe, they will see your window decal you bought for $19.95 from that little truck that sits over by Davidson's from where ever the dead go, and realize you got a great buy?
It seems that the actions are done more for public attention, rather than an earnest sentiment. A disservice to the deceased for sure. What is behind this bazaar trend? Am I the only one that has noticed this and finds it repugnant? Am I the only one who sees this as a disrespect to the memory of one loved in an attempt to gain sympathy and attention from those left behind.?
Please note, I am not talking about messages left in public forums to the victims families such as "Sorry for your loss", or "Our thoughts are with your family", I am specifically addressing those posts (and decals) that address the dead as if they will log on at any moment to respond.

UNT was named Best in the West

UNT students named Spectrum Scholars by American Library Association
Subscribe Unsubscribe
From a UNT News Service press release
Three College of Information master's students have been selected as 2009 Spectrum Scholars by the American Library Association. They include:
The Spectrum Scholarship Program was established in 1997 by the ALA's Office for Diversity as a national diversity and recruitment effort to address the under-representation of certain ethnic groups in the library profession. In addition to a $5,000 scholarship, each Spectrum Scholar receives more than $1,500 worth of pre-professional development activities and ongoing leadership training and career placement services.
The College of Information adds $1,000 to the scholarship package of each Spectrum Scholar, as well as out-of-state tuition waivers.
Herman L. Totten, dean of the College of Information, says the college's three Spectrum Scholars "are among the brightest and the best."
"The College of Information's Department of Library and Information Sciences is delighted that its reputation warrants the confidence of these three outstanding students who could choose to go to any library and information program, but chose to come to UNT," Totten says.
Cobb, the daughter of Dan and Janelle Cobb of Ozark, is currently a digital photograph technician at the University of Houston's M.D. Anderson Memorial Library and is earning her master's degree in information science from UNT through a distance education program in Houston.
A 2000 graduate of Ozark High School, Cobb received her undergraduate degree in English, with minors in art history and theology, from Saint Louis University. She also earned a master's degree in art history and a certificate in gender studies from Washington University in St. Louis. Cobb expects to receive her master's degree from UNT in 2010.
Hammond, the daughter of Pat and Martha Estes of Frisco, is a library assistant in youth services at the Frisco Public Library. She received undergraduate degrees in English from Brigham Young University and in general arts and sciences from North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene. Hammond will also receive her master's degree in information science from UNT in 2010.
May, the director of the Oglala Lakota College Academic and Public Library in Kyle, S.D., is the daughter of Cleon and Fern Boomer of Interior, S.D. She is earning her master's degree in information science from UNT through a distance education program in South Dakota.
She is a graduate of Bennett County High School in Martin, S.D., and received her undergraduate degree in history, with an emphasis on political science, from Chadron State College in Chadron, Neb. She will receive her master's degree in information science from UNT in 2012.

Why is choosing a QROPS adviser so important? Because the person who advises you about the financial planning for your retirement has an important effect on how comfortable it will be.
If you choose the wrong person, you could end up with less than you were expecting in your elder years. If you have the misfortune to have an incompetent adviser, you may even be mis-sold a product.
The importance of experts
If you have dipped your toe into the world of overseas pensions, you may appreciate how complex that world is. Not only do you need to contend with the UK rules and regulations on QROPS and QNUPS, but you also need to deal with whatever the jurisdiction in which you choose to invest may have to throw at you.
Accordingly, whilst a generalist financial adviser may have offered your family first class advice on your finances so far, getting a pension specialist to run their eye over your overseas plans is a good idea.
International reach
If you are going to be sent abroad on a work posting, using a firm of QROPS advisers with international reach is particularly important. After all, if you intend to be moving around from country to country, continuity in the advice that you receive is essential for a joined up understanding about your finances.
The bigger the better
As a private individual, being a customer of a large financial institution can sometimes feel a bit "David and Goliath." Being just one voice, it may seem as though you have little bargaining power when it comes to fees and charges. However, if you use a large firm of QROPS advisers who are accustomed to dealing with investment houses day in day out, they may be able to secure a better deal on fees than one person alone.

So much for that advantage with HTC's Beats Audio smartphones like the Sensation XL. If you're after better audio quality on your Android device, you'll be happy to know that after HTC opened up their API for the Beats Audio software to developers of 3rd party apps, XDA member RockoDev has been able to port the entire software for use on non-HTC Android devices.
Available as a flashable zip file, Beats is basically a branded equalizer. Dont set your expectations too high though, but folks are reporting various improvements to the quality of music on their phones after flashing the files. More info at the source links below.
