text: 000 FXUS63 KILX 192359 AFDILX Area Forecast Discussion NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 659 PM CDT Sun Oct 19 2014 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight) ISSUED AT 234 PM CDT SUN OCT 19 2014 12z KILX upper air sounding showed a very strong subsidence inversion around 900mb, with a layer of surface-based moisture trapped beneath it. Due to a lack of adequate mixing with the much drier airmass aloft, low clouds have persisted/developed across the area today. 18z/1pm visible satellite imagery showed these clouds along/east of the I-55 corridor. Surface high pressure has shifted into the Ohio River Valley, so S/SW winds on its back side are finally beginning to push the clouds off to the east. Am expecting the clouds to gradually dissipate/shift eastward over the next couple of hours, with mostly clear skies across the board by late afternoon/early evening. Next upper short-wave to impact the weather across central Illinois is evident on water vapor imagery over Manitoba. As this feature drops southeastward, it will push a weak frontal boundary into the region late tonight into early Monday morning. Forecast soundings remain quite dry ahead of the front and 12z models have therefore backed way off on precip development. Lead short-wave will bring increasing high clouds to central Illinois this evening, then main wave may bring lower/thicker clouds into the picture overnight. Given dry soundings and best lift associated with Manitoba wave skirting by to the N/NE, will only carry slight chance PoPs across the southeast CWA after midnight. May see a few sprinkles further north, but measurable precip is not expected. && .LONG TERM...(Monday through Sunday) ISSUED AT 234 PM CDT SUN OCT 19 2014 After the short wave and weak frontal boundary, a mid level ridge and surface high pressure will build into the region with dry conditions. This will continue into Thur as the CWA remains in a somewhat anti-cyclonic flow. Models then begin to bring another wave toward the region Thursday. Models differ on what happens to this wave as the ridge gets pinched off between the approaching wave and the large low sitting over the northeastern US. The GFS takes the energy north while the ECMWF takes it to the north and south. Either way, central IL will remain dry through the rest of the week. Then pushing into the weekend, ridging returns with dry weather. Warmest temps will be tomorrow ahead of the short wave. Then behind it, slightly cooler temps are expected. Temps will remain below normal through the rest of the week, and then warm for the weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) ISSUED AT 659 PM CDT SUN OCT 19 2014 VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours despite a surface trough forecast to move across the area tomorrow. This evening, a band of AC and Cirrus will advance across the terminals, with the lowest clouds around 9K FT. Cloud heights will approach MVFR later tonight and early tomorrow morning ahead of the trough, but the lowest cloud heights in that time frame should be around 3500 FT. Forecast soundings show moisture in the 3.5-5K ft level will linger into the afternoon, so periodic lower clouds will be possible. Winds will start out SW from 7-9KT, then become W-NW tomorrow morning behind the surface trough while increasing to 10-12kt. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Barnes LONG TERM...Auten AVIATION...Shimon

One's Place In The World
Scientist Jane Poynter recounts her almost unique experience (only 7 other people in the world have done it), living in Biosphere 2 for 2 years & 20 minutes. The purpose of this larger than life experiment was to find out if it is possible to (re)create the conditions of sustainable life. Turns out, and that's what I love about this talk, she also found some more esoteric answers along the way.

Top: Victoria's Secret silk tank {old - also seen here paired with a maxi skirt and here in a super casual look…with my favorite summer sandals!}
Pants: J.Crew Minnie in stretch twill {new!}
Necklace: Gorjana
Bracelets: Gorjana three-bead bracelet, Club Monaco/Gorjana leather wrap bracelet {loving the simple/delicate accessories this brand is currently offering}
Purse: bought while in Poland in 2011 - no brand {similar}
Shoes: Tory Burch Amalie sandals
Today's thoughts:
1) I have been itching to wear these pants, but wanted to be sure my outfit didn't scream "fall" when it is still technically summer. The solution - an airy royal blue tank :)
2) You can really see my finger splint in these photos… only a few days left to go!
3) Sorry for the lack of diversity of poses - I wan only able to snap a few quick shots. It was either post one photo, or two very similar photos {one photo was probably sufficient, but I just couldn't choose between these two…}
Another casual summer look…
I recently had a question about what I am holding in my photos. It is my shutter release. Since I take my own photos, it is easiest to use a release instead of repeatedly setting the self timer. At first I tried to keep the shutter release hidden (behind purses, in pockets, etc), but my newest release has a rather weak signal and needs to be in the line of sight of my camera. Until I get a new one (when this one breaks), it will be making an appearance in all my photos :)
Top: Victoria's Secret silk tank {3-4 years old, but they are still making the same style - also in print}
Bracelets: Thrifted branch bangles, Club Monaco wrap bracelet, J.Crew
Sunglasses: Armani Exchange
Factory tennis bracelet
Pants: Joe Fresh {on sale for $4 - last summer's purchase. Similar here and here}
Shoes: B Brian Atwood 'Labrea'
Part of me really wanted to re-take these photos, but with limited time left in the day (yesterday), I didn't have an opportunity take a second round. For better or for worse, a large part of fashion blogging is actually photo composition. While I am by no means a photo pro, I know that had I taken these shots in my normal location (there were people around…grrrrr), or had I actually ventured out in public to shoot this outfit near something architectural, the clothes would have translated much much better. Instead, I snapped a few sub-par photos next to my garage. Classy.
Blazer: J.Crew 1035 blazer
T-shirt: Joe Fresh {old}
Pants: London Jeans {from Victoria's Secret}
Sunglasses: Armani Exchange
Necklaces: homemade {DIY instructions}
Purse: Pour La Victoire 'Haven' (very similar, also from PLV)
Shoes: Jean-Michel Cazabat 'Ozara'
What do you think of the larger pictures? Let me know!
Linen baffles me. It wrinkles soooo easily. Yet it is a popular summer fabric that I (like a sucker) continue to buy and wear. I literally ironed these shorts 3 minutes prior to taking these photos. I feel this is a "disappointed head shake" moment.
Top: Jaloux {bought through Hautelook} (similar)
Linen shorts: Victoria's Secret Beach Short
Necklace: Z Designs Hammered Crescent Necklace
Bracelets: Amrita Singh Allie Bangles {obsessed!}
Sunglasses: a Shoppers Drug Mart find
Purse: Pour la Victoire 'Haven' Satchel (similar PLV option)
Shoes: Calvin Klein 'Ria' Loafers
Lesson of the day: It is incredibly difficult to take photos of a maxi dress when it is windy out.
Blazer: Banana Republic
Dress: Joe Fresh {recent} (similar)
Necklace: Amrita Singh (similar)
Bracelets: Amrita Singh Allie Bangles
Belt: Victoria's Secret {part of a different dress}
Bag: Winners (similar CK option)
Sandals: French Connection {old} (similar from ASOS)

Popular Science[I]t's a great textbook for a physics course for non-scientists, and there's plenty of stuff in there to interest scientists as well.
— Brian Clegg
"Modern science and technology have the power to shape the world we live in, for good or for evil. Muller, himself a brilliant, creative scientist, has distilled the most important scientific principles that define our choices, and has presented them clearly and objectively. To make wise decisions, not only future presidents, but future business and community leaders, and thoughtful citizens generally, need the information in this book."—Frank Wilczek, Nobel Prize—winning physicist
"Richard Muller has written an amazing and very entertaining book, not only for future presidents but for just about everyone else. It's written in a nonmathematical style, but includes tidbits that will amaze even working physicists. This is a great book that should be read by everyone."—David Goodstein, California Institute of Technology
"Anyone who aspires to be president (of any enlightened organization)—or for that matter, anyone who would like to be led by an informed president—should read this book. Extraterrestrials would surely be amazed that the citizens of the most powerful country on earth routinely elect presidents who proudly profess to know nothing about science and technology. We can only dream that one day presidential debates will include a quiz based on this book."—A. Zee, author of Fearful Symmetry
"Clear, inviting, and humorous, this is the first nonquantitative book I've seen that covers all the topics of physics. The introduction of current social and political issues is excellent. Students will want to read this book from cover to cover. It could increase scientific literacy significantly."—Mark Oreglia, University of Chicago
"Physics and Technology for Future Presidents provides a new answer to an old problem: how to teach physics to nontechnical students. Richard Muller does not 'dumb down' the technical aspects of physics; he skips them altogether and focuses on physics results rather than methods. Fun to read and accessible to general readers, this book presents a lot of interesting physics facts."—Vadim Kaplunovsky, University of Texas, Austin
"'Physics for Future Presidents' is a course, yes (with the professor's best seller, and soon its sequel, serving as textbook), but it is really more a tour de force. Richard A. Muller presents an astonishing amount of information on atoms, antimatter and other subjects. But since these are actual lectures, recorded in a hall on the Berkeley campus. . . . It's all highly entertaining and educational, although it's hard to imagine being able to absorb it all. The course is geared for nonscientists, billed as being long on concepts and short on math, and covers topics like radioactivity, climate change and waves of all kinds. Yet it doesn't spare details."—Henry Fountain, New York Times
"[I]t's a great textbook for a physics course for non-scientists, and there's plenty of stuff in there to interest scientists as well."—Brian Clegg, Popular Science
"Muller does a very good job of comprehensively describing the physics base of the technological infrastructure of our social world."—Choice

Oftentimes physics majors are too busy learning the math and semantics of physics to actually learn some of the more interesting physics and technology that happen in the world around us on a daily basis. Full of fun and interesting physics facts that often catch you by surprise!
This book is designed for textbook use in college level courses. Not to be confused with "Physics for Future Presidents" - the popular book with a similar name, written by the same author.

I feel so stressed out about this. I don't even know what to do first and everything. I mean, it feels like "I SHOULD DO IT" but not "I WANT TO DO IT". I can feel the pressure on my veins right now. Aigoo. I don't like anything that's complicated and this is just making me feel like hell.

This shoe comparison is a great example of that. This Aldo version is exactly $1755 less than the original. With the exception of a few minor differences, including Louboutin's signature red bottoms, I would say that Aldo's is spot on!

Fellaini claims to have snubbed Arsenal for Manchester United dream
10/30/13 in Soccer | KurtKingsley | 1858 respect
Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has revealed that Arsenal were in contention with Manchester United for his signature this summer. The Belgian star claims to have been receiving a lot of interest from Arsenal back when he was at Everton.
Fellaini, who moved to Manchester United towards the end of the summer transfer window, suggests he snubbed the opportunity to move to Arsenal because he saw the Premier League champions as bigger club – but that wasn't the only reason.
Earlier the same summer Everton's long-time serving manager David Moyes was handpicked by Sir Alex Ferguson to replace him as manager of Manchester United. Keeping in with tradition of signing players where you hail from, Moyes paid Everton top dollar for Fellaini's services.
After acquiring the likes of Mesut Ozil this summer, Arsenal weren't really in need of signing a midfield enforcer, especially since they already had a couple of talented players in their ranks. However, perhaps the opportunity to lose a player like Fellaini would have attracted them for a bid.
"I will not reveal the details, but Arsenal wanted me this summer," Fellaini told beIN Sport.
Upon being questioned whether Chelsea were also interested in signing him, Fellaini simply said: "No comment".
Explaining his summer move, Fellaini explained that David Moyes and the opportunity to play in a club like Manchester United were the driving factors behind his decision.
"Manchester United convinced me," Fellaini said. "During the transfer window, there's always a list of players who are available to change clubs. You never know what's right. I only knew that Moyes was interested.
"David Moyes has given me confidence. When I first joined Everton, I had difficulties, but he helped me and supported me. Moyes did everything he could to help me become a better player.
"I was criticized -- nobody knew who I was. I succeeded because I worked long and hard. That's why I'm now playing for Manchester United.
"I'm not trying to be [Paul] Scholes or [Michael] Carrick. I want to play my own game. It's difficult at the moment, but I will succeed."

Tabula Terre Nove — Martin Waldseemüller (circa 1513)
The cartographers Waldseemüller and Ringmann are credited with the first use of the word America in 1507, in honor of Amerigo Vespucci. By the time this map was produced, Waldseemüller was beginning to doubt that America was a separate continent from Eastern Asia—hence the label of Terra incognita. But his earlier maps were already widely distributed, and the name took hold.

The State of Sequoyah was a proposed state to be established in the eastern part of present-day Oklahoma. In 1905, faced by proposals to end their tribal governments, Native Americans of the Five Civilized Tribes in Indian Territory proposed such a state as a means to retain some control of their land. Their intention was to have a state under Native American constitution and rule. The proposed state was named in honor of Sequoyah, the Cherokee who created a writing system in 1825 for the Cherokee language.
The Sequoyah Constitutional Convention met in Muskogee, on August 21, 1905. General Pleasant Porter, Principal Chief of the Creek Nation, was selected as president of the convention. The elected delegates decided that the executive officers of the Five Civilized Tribes would also be appointed as vice-presidents: William C. Rogers, Principal Chief of the Cherokees; William H. Murray, appointed by Chickasaw Governor Douglas H. Johnston to represent the Chickasaws; Chief Green McCurtain of the Choctaws; Chief John Brown of the Seminoles; and Charles N. Haskell, selected to represent the Creeks (as General Porter had been elected President). Muscogee journalist Alexander Posey served as secretary.
The convention drafted a constitution, drew up a plan of organization for the government, put together a map showing the counties to be established, and elected delegates to go to the United States Congress to petition for statehood. The convention's proposals were put to a referendum in the Indian Territory, where they were overwhelmingly endorsed.

1644 map of Africa Made by Willem Janszoon Blaeu (1571-1638).
One of the most decorative and popular of all early maps of Africa, from the "golden age" of Dutch mapmaking. First issued in 1630, the map was reprinted many times between 1631 and 1667, appearing in Latin, French, German, Dutch, and Spanish editions of Blaeu's atlases. The maps and atlases of the Blaeu family business, carried on after Willem's death by sons Cornelis and Joan, marked the epitome of fine engraving and coloring, elaborate cartouches and pictorial detail, and fine calligraphy—the most magnificent work of its type ever produced.
In the format called carte à figures, this map contains views of the major cities and trading ports of Africa at the time: Tangier and Ceuta (Morocco), Tunis (Tunisia), Alexandria and Cairo (Egypt), Mozambique (seaport of Mozambique), Elmina (Ghana, and Grand Canary (Canary Islands) Side panels depict costumed people from areas visited along the coasts. The interior is decorated with exotic animals (lions, elephants, ostriches), which were (and still are) a major source of fascination for the public. The Nile (today's White Nile) is shown flowing from the Ptolemaic lakes of Zaire and Zaflan. Flying fish and strange sea creatures cavort in the oceans, and the sailing ships all bear Dutch flags. Coastal names are engraved inward to give a clear, sharp outline to the continent.
Probably the most interesting cartographic feature is the identification of specific large territories or kingdoms, which have been outlined in color, including a huge Abyssinia (Ethiopia) and Monomotapa (all of southern Africa). But these seem to reflect a European sense of nationhood—something presumed and projected upon a virtually unexplored canvas—more than the actual experience of traders and explorers, who would continue to report on hundreds of smaller ethnic enclaves and political fiefdoms during the next 250 years
Interestingly note how Africa was perceived by the Early explorers no negative connotations.

Dallas Mavericks
Ellis, Nowitzki Lead Mavs Past Hawks 118-109
Monta Ellis started his Dallas career with 32 points, Dirk Nowitzki scored 24 and the Mavericks spoiled Mike Budenholzer's coaching debut with a 118-109 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night.
Viral Video: What Do The Mavs Say?
Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion, newcomer Samuel Dalembert and their fellow Mavericks players are answering the question "What do the Mavs say?" in this viral video hit.
Ex-GM Gersson Rosas: Mavs 'Not The Best Fit For Me'
The Mavs parted ways Tuesday with GM Gersson Rosas, a conflict regarding organizational roles possibly at the core of the quickie divorce. Team owner Mark Cuban expressed 'disappointment' in Rosas decision to leave after just three months on the job.
Revamped Mavs Roster Opens With Healthy Dirk
Nowitzki has two new guards in his starting lineup for the second straight year. Now the Mavericks have to see if Monta Ellis and Jose Calderon will be better than the pairing of Darren Collison and O.J. Mayo.
Mavericks GM Rosas Resigns After 3 Months
Gersson Rosas has resigned as general manager of the Dallas Mavericks just three months into his new job.
Mavs-Hawks: Say Yes To The Dress (Rehearsal)?
So much of the talk of a 'dress rehearsal' in this 98-88 preseason home win over the Hawks was just talk – even as Dirk Nowitzki registered his first fourth-quarter minutes of the preseason.
Dirk Leads Mavs To Preseason Win Over Hawks
Dirk Nowitzki scored 17 points, Monta Ellis added 15 and the Dallas Mavericks beat the short-handed Atlanta Hawks 98-88 in a preseason game Wednesday night.
Mavericks Request Waivers On Fab Melo, 3 Others
The Mavericks have requested waivers on 7-foot center Fab Melo and three other players. With Tuesday's moves, the Mavericks roster is now stands at 16.
Mavs' Carlisle All About Defense In 2013-14
To say Carlisle is emphasizing defense is like saying Nowitzki didn't enjoy a second straight year without a playoff win after leading the franchise to its first championship in 2011.
Mavs Top Pacers 92-85 In Preseason
Shawn Marion had 18 points and Monta Ellis added another 13 points to help the Mavericks beat the Pacers 92-85 in a preseason game on Wednesday night.
Calderon Set For Mavs Debut This Weekend
The Mavs believe they have the makings of a premier two-man game with newcomer Monta Ellis joining Dirk Nowitzki. But they need a third man to run the show – and at Tuesday's practice they got one of their first long looks at the man for the job.
Mavs' Wright Out Indefinitely With Shoulder Injury
Mavericks backup center Brandan Wright is out indefinitely after injuring his left shoulder in practice.

Really good GF pizza crust recipe here:
The recipe makes two pizza crusts so I made one for dinner and froze the other to see what happens. The crust rather dry. Next time I will put a red sauce or more moist toppings (more tomatoes would have been good here). As it was, I used a low-fat vegan pesto recipe that Bryanna Clark Grogan gave out (somewhere…) years ago:
4 c. fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
8 cloves garlic
6 ox (3/4 c) reduced fat extra firm silken tofu
1/4 c. nutritional yeast flakes
1 1/2 TB broth powder
1 TB. lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp salt
Place all ingredients in food processor and process until it forms a paste.
(You can actually freeze this beautifully. I do, in 2 TB. portions and one of those was what I used on the pizza)
I then dolloped on my favorite almond ricotta from here:
and some sliced basil leaves. Was really good! Gotta love internet recipes…
edit: The frozen crust turned out GREAT! It was just as good as the one I used right away!

Fuhr looks to unseat Cannan
A former fighter pilot is throwing his hat into the political ring.
Stephen Fuhr has announced he will seek the Liberal party nomination in the federal riding of Kelowna-Lake Country, the seat currently held by Conservative MP Ron Cannan.
Fuhr would bring over 20 years of military service to the table and the 44-year-old says he's tired of how Stephen Harper and the conservatives are running the country.
"Eight years at the helm has left the Harper government institutionally arrogant," he says.
"There is a fundamental lack of transparency and little to no accountability. Issues like the Senate scandal and the Fair Elections Act are just a few examples of a party that has lost touch with Canadians."
After retiring from the Royal Canadian Air Force in 2009, Fuhr relocated to the Central Okanagan to join his family's satellite communications company, SkyTrac Systems.
He left the company three years later and currently works as a pilot, but now has his sights set on the 2015 federal election.
"We did not get the government many of us voted for," says Fuhr.
"The time has come for Canadians to demonstrate they can punish poor performance as they have done in the past. It's good for our democracy. The federal Liberals are assembling a team with the interests of Canadians at the forefront. A team that will deliver the performance-based, transparent and accountable government we deserve.
"I'm ready to serve again."

of course a SEAL would probably win, they are the most physically fit guys in the military.
a better question- Army SF or Delta, Navy SEAL, or UFC fighter. Recon Marines arent trained as well as even theArmy SF.
in a fight without weapons, where the fighters were of equal size, a UFC fighter would most likely win. ufc fighters train daily on these skills, where as they are only a portion of what a navy seal (or any special forces fighter) learns, practices, and perfects. in my opinion, this debate is similar to who would win a marathon: Geb or Craig Alexander? Yeah, Alexander is probably the more all around, versital athlete, and a great runner, but as we can all agree, this would not be a race. i am trying to put in in terms people would understand on this board.
you guys believe too much hollywood propaganda. the ufc is fake, yet navy seal are lethal weapons. remember charlie sheen is not a real seal, neither is stephen segal or ashton kutcher.
Everybody is saying that the SEALS know how to instantly kill people, but there's a difference between being able to instantly kill an enemy soldier, and being able to kill a fighting machine that trains all day, every day, for ONLY hand to hand fighting. I'm pretty sure that the MMA fighter would be able to counteract the SEAL's instant kill moves.
Some people are also saying that it would be hard for the MMA fighters to adjust to "Killer" mode - such talk is bull hanky.
|Youse Gyuz
That's Entertainment. It's Tinseltown guyz ! We make it all up here. The Combat TV show set from the 1960's used to be off of Higuera in Culver City. Kids would peek in from the street and see the German Half-Track from the B&W TV show. It's make believe. That's what Hollywood sells to idiots like you guys who are stupid enough to believe it. The tickets, TV commericals, DVDs, T-Shirts, Panties, hype and jive, and it makes billions for us here in West L.A. TV/movies and sporting events are made about SEALs, WWE, GB, SF, Mike Tyson, SAS, Isrealis, Jacky Chan, British Grenadiers, Brock Lesnar, The Sands of Iwo Jima, Dirty Dozen, Terminator, Jet Li, Hamas, Enter the Dragon, D-Day, Oscar De La Hoya. It's not real. Take it all with a grain of salt. Realize we go home every night trying to make people look badder, sexier, uglier, fatter, smellier, funnier, sadder, etc. because that's our job. It's all pretend.
|idiot alert
This is the type of childish discussion you usually have in grade school.
|Youse Guys
Do you have a great script about the SF or Army boys ? Need production assistance ? If you can get your script "approved" by the Army, then they will give you access to the base, to troops, tanks, bombs, etc. Click:
The Army WILL TELL YOU what to say, make cuts, and turn YOU and your project into a propaganda piece for their interests.
The other branches offer the same deal. Foreign countries do as well.
The PR/Media departments at the sports previously mentioned will help you out too.
I think I'm going to give Nathan's Hot Dogs in Brooklyn a call on Monday. Now those guys are real badasses !
I wonder if some UFC message board has picked up on this thread yet. It'll just be another reason for everyone to think running is a joke. I'm so embarrassed by this thread.
Here's an analogy: Who would win in a 5K race? A professional 5K runner, or a professional triathlete? The runner every f*cking time. Not a perfect analogy, but it's something the average braindead letsrunner can relate to.
Are you saying that Mike Tyson didn't really fight all those guys, or are you saying that the hype and "bad to the bone" stuff was staged?
def the MMA fighter
|Hooray for Hollywood
Hollywood wins.
a SEAL would crush a marine
OK this is easy. UFC = good at acting tough, good at acting like he's fighting. Seal = good at being tough, good at actually fighting.
there you go.
I have all the respect in the world for our armed forces, but you do realize that our countries best athletes aren't the ones signing up to be in the army.
They aren't signing up to be in UFC either.
|roboto attack
this is true, but a g.i. joe would whip some mma ass.
note: g.i. joe would be snake eyes or old school with sgt. slaughter

i know who would win....
Bruce lee!!!
but since hes dead....
the next best thing.....

Book Description:
This work, the third installment of the Tesla Presents series, is based upon legal records associated with the Nikola Tesla vs. Reginald A. Fessenden Patent Interference on the Fundamental AND-Gate logic circuit. While the U.S. Patent Office record is sufficiently important on the basis of its title alone, Tesla winning the claim to this invention, surprisingly the deposition contains heretofore unpublished disclosures by Tesla on the operation of his large high frequency resonators at both the Houston Street laboratory in New York and the Experimental Station in Colorado. Information is presented on what Tesla spoke of as the "art of individualization" for obtaining various levels of security in wireless transmissions. Also included is material on the history of radio-controlled devices, the first practical form of these being Tesla's radio-controlled "teleautomaton" - an operational boat first demonstrated to the public at Madison Square Garden in 1898.

A couple of days ago, AOSP was graced with a series of freshly created "l-preview" branches and a massive push of brand new code. As we know now, quite a bit of that code push wasn't truly representative of the L developer preview. (Very sneaky, Google.) Most of the truly new updates belonged to GPL-licensed projects, which Google is obligated to release in a timely fashion. The remaining projects with "l-preview" branches were filled with a recent snapshot from the Master branch.
An unexpected treat came zooming out of Google HQ today as Android 4.4.4 OTAs and factory images have started rolling out for Nexus devices. The updates have already been posted to AOSP and Al Sutton quickly followed up with a list of the changes. Since 4.4.3 is only 2 weeks old, and I/O is merely a week away, we had a feeling this was just a security update, and it looks like that's all it is.
Unless you blacked out all of the news from yesterday to avoid a deluge of stories about what has been happening in Cupertino, you probably caught wind that there's a brand new update to Android. Whether you're manually installing the latest OTA or going all out with the factory images, you might be interested to know what is actually different. Thanks to Al Sutton, we've got a brand new changelog compiled from the list of code commits submitted to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
A brand new OTA began rolling out to the 2013 Nexus 7 LTE just two days ago, and today those changes finally appeared in AOSP. As is the tradition, Al Sutton built a list of changes and posted them to his site. Every bug fix and tweak from KOT49H (4.4.2_r1) to KVT49L (4.4.2_r2) is included. There isn't a lot to look at, but if you're interested in what's new, you can find the developer changelog here.
With a new Android release comes another one of Funky Android's crazy-detailed AOSP developer changelogs, this time detailing every commit made between Android 4.4 (build KRT16M) and Android 4.4.1 (build KOT49E).
As usual, it's really long, and for the most part full of fairly cryptic comments you may not understand unless you have a pretty deep familiarity with the Android OS on a technical level.

Early in my career, the radio in my ancient, bare-bones SUV could only pick up two FM stations' broadcasts for the duration of my daily commute — one country, one oldies, with an emphasis on the mid-1950s through the 1960s. Because I didn't want to lose my will to live during the 25-mile drive, I picked the oldies station. And it made me glad all over.

Blame Dems for pilfering Social Security

As I read the letters in The Enquirer Oct.20 a few thoughts came to mind. The first raid on Social Security came back in the 1960″s when Pres. Johnson.Dem, took Social Security out of the trust fund and put it into the General fund so it could be spent. The next raid took place when […]
Raising taxes doesn't make sense
07/16/12 at 4:53pm by Letters Editor | Comments
Thirty-two years ago, the unemployment rate in America under Jimmy Carter was 7.8 percent, combined with an inflation rate of more than 13 percent; these economic woes, of course, ushered in the Reagan presidency. What did Reagan do immediately? He convinced Congress to decrease federal income tax rates for the wealthiest from 70 percent (at […]

Missing: ethics in government

Almost forty years ago, an entire presidential administration was ousted because of unethical and illegal behavior.

In response to this behavior, America elected Jimmy Carter as president. But, since Carter was unwilling […]
ElBaradei no answer for Egypt, or for US
02/02/11 at 5:51pm by Letters Editor | Comments
It's great to show loyalty to a long time friend, but please be honest. ElBaradei was the typical incompetent UN bureaucrat handling the Iraq nuclear problems. That was why the Bush administration wanted him removed from the IAEA. The award of the Nobel prize only confirmed his incompetence. His statements during the current Egyptian crisis […]

Obama's at a loss on unrest in Egypt
02/01/11 at 4:51pm by Letters Editor | Comments
Are we witnesses to history repeating itself in Egypt today? The current events in Egypt are quite similar to the overthrow of the Shah of Iran. Both Presidents, Carter and Obama, seem to have the same reaction. They are like deer caught in the headlights; they have no idea what to do. Emery Mapes Lawrenceburg
Don't credit Carter for hostage release

The article ("Latest book re-explores Carter's theme of woe," Sept. 27) about the "White House Diary" seems to have revised history.

Cancer Health Center
Much of the information regarding interventions for fatigue relates either to healthy subjects or to persons in whom muscle fatigue is the primary etiology of the problem or fatigue is secondary to treatment-related anemia.[1,2][Level of evidence: II];[3,4] Without a determination of the causative mechanisms of fatigue in oncology patients, interventions must be directed to symptom management and emotional support. Although some recommendations for the management of fatigue in oncology patients have been made, these are theoretical or anecdotal in nature and in general have not been the focus of scientific evaluation.
Since the etiology and mechanisms regarding fatigue/asthenia in cancer patients are indeterminate, there is considerable variation in practice patterns regarding the management of this symptom. The focus of medical management is often directed at identifying specific and potentially reversible correlated symptoms, as in the following examples:
- Patients with fatigue and pain may have titration of pain medications.
- Patients with fatigue and anemia may receive a transfusion of packed red blood cells, nutritional interventions including iron-rich foods, supplemental iron or vitamins to correct an underlying deficiency, or injections of epoetin alfa.
- Patients with depressed mood and fatigue may be treated with antidepressants or psychostimulants.
It is often helpful to consider discontinuation of drugs that may be safely withheld. There is no agreed-upon approach for the evaluation and treatment of fatigue, but an increasing number of clinical trials are designed to address this issue in cancer patients.
One of the most popular categories of pharmacologic interventions evaluated for cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is psychostimulants (see Table 2). Psychostimulants are drugs that interact with neurotransmitters and receptors in the brain to increase cortical function. Different types of psychostimulants work through various mechanisms to produce activity in the brain consistent with short-term improvement in energy level and psychomotor activity. These medications may also improve mood, attention, and concentration in some populations. Psychostimulants on the market include the following:
- Methylphenidate.
- Dextroamphetamine.
- Pemoline.
- Modafinil.
- Armodafinil.
- Nonprescription caffeine.
Initial support for the hypothesis that psychostimulants may improve CRF arises largely from clinical anecdotal experiences. These medications are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of CRF. However, preliminary evidence from randomized controlled studies [5,6,7] suggests that these medications might be helpful in a subpopulation of patients experiencing more severe fatigue. There are at least seven published randomized clinical trials evaluating psychostimulants for CRF: six with methylphenidate and one with modafinil. Only one of these randomized trials [5] has shown significant differences between the placebo group and methylphenidate group with respect to the outcome of fatigue.
The one study that demonstrated significant improvements over placebo for CRF used a mean dose of 27.7 mg of the D-isomer of methylphenidate as a study intervention.[5] The population that benefited was women who had completed chemotherapy for breast or ovarian cancer. The study design incorporated a titration to effect, so some patients who may have benefited may have received more than 27.7 mg of the drug. Furthermore, 11% of participants on this trial withdrew because of adverse events, compared with 1% in the placebo arm. Conversely, an equally large randomized controlled trial randomly assigned patients with early and advanced disease, both on and off treatment, to receive 54 mg of a long-acting methylphenidate preparation equaling 27 mg of the D-isomer or a placebo; this trial found no differences between the two groups in any of the fatigue outcomes.[8][Level of evidence: I] There were significant differences between groups for nervousness and appetite loss, with the methylphenidate arm scoring worse on both of those side effects.

British Weight Lifting showcases youth talent at British Junior and Under 23 Championships 2014
More than 35 competitors headed to Wakefield College last weekend for the 2014 British Junior & Under 23 Weightlifting Championships, as Britain's leading young weightlifters took to the platform in a day of hard-fought competition.
The junior category was made up of competitors aged between 13 and 20 years old and included 15 year old Rebekah Tiler, who stole the show with an outstanding display in the women's 69kg class.
Tiler, who is the current British Senior Champion and an England Commonwealth Games 2014 medal prospect, put in a fantastic performance in what was her final competition before heading to Glasgow later this month, as she set British records in the snatch (94kg), clean & jerk (121kg) and total (215kg) across six age groups from under 15 – under 23.
The men's junior competition also saw some top performances with Kilmarnock's Stewart Gilroy clearing all six lifts and scoring a total of 145kg in the 56kg class, whilst Westway's Adrian Ramirez came from 2kg behind club teammate James Kissling-Jones in the snatch lift to claim first place with a total of 165kg versus Kissling-Jones' 163kg.
The toughest battle of the day took place in the men's junior 85kg class, with all five athletes well-matched; it was the youngest competitor, 17 year old Fridi Ibrahimi, who eventually finished on top with 115kg (snatch), 148kg (clean and jerk) and a total of 263kg.
Another of British Weight Lifting's Commonwealth Games' hopefuls, Scotland's Sophie Smyth, put in a solid performance and secured 62kg (snatch), 85g (clean and jerk) and a total of 147kg.
Commenting on the day, Ashley Metcalfe, British Weight Lifting's CEO, said: "We've seen some fantastic performances from our young athletes today and the competition was a great showcase for our sport and its rising stars.
"There was a vibrant atmosphere throughout the day and spectator numbers were up considerably on last year, which was great to see. We've also had some very encouraging feedback from spectators who, in particular, cited the venue and event commentary as both making a positive contribution to the day which for us, as the event organisers, is fantastic to hear."
British Weight Lifting would like to thank all of the volunteers and officials that were involved in the competition – thank you for your continued hard work and support!
Next up is the British Weight Lifting Development Cup on Saturday 12th July at Alfreton Grange Arts College, Derbyshire. Click here for more information.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK–In 1991, a handful of artists decided to work with homeless teenagers to create art in New York City. More than 20 years later, the nonprofit Art Start has transformed young, at-risk lives with art workshops, many of which take place in shelters in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Manhattan. According to the Coalition for the Homeless, in November 2013, there were an estimated 53,270 homeless people in New York City; 22,625 were children. Even though Art Start kids live in these shelters, on the streets, are involved in court cases, or are surviving with parents in crisis, local teaching artists and educators donate their time and guidance to nurture their creativity and talents.
"The more we worked with the families, the more I was impressed by their strength and determination to provide their children as much normalcy and consistency as possible in a challenging situation," says Johanna De Los, executive director of Art Start for the last seven years.
"My personal connection to the mission is, when I was a teenager, because of circumstances, I had a really, really hard time. I had destructive habits and I didn't live with my family," she adds. "The high school theater was like a sacred church to me when I was so vulnerable; it really could have gone any way for me. The arts really did save me from a path that would have been so much more challenging."
Art Start uses a student-centered approach to education. Workshops are designed to instill confidence in their students and help them discover what they have to offer. They also teach critical thinking and help students pursue meaningful opportunities, despite their situations. After 22 years, this organization has reached over 22,000 youths and enlisted over 11,500 volunteer teaching artists.
Art Start offers four main programs to their students. The Homeless Youth OutReach program is fostered through partnerships with city-run and nonprofit shelters. Art Start educators and volunteers set up creative workshops at these locations where each student can learn choreography, song writing, recording, and other forms of artistic expression. This program meets the increasing demand of the high record number of over 1.1 million U.S public schools enrolling homeless children and youth (U.S. Department of Education). In 2013, Art Start hosted 395 workshops, accrued 2,866 attendances and served 557 New York City youth.
The Youth Offender Outreach is a program offered to those with open court cases. Art Start provides a creative outlet during this crucial window where they can redirect their energy towards more positive goals. Based on the studies by Citizens Crime Commission, 49.4% of youths released from detention facilities are readmitted. Art Start prides itself on instilling values and personal development within each of its constituents. Last year, there was a total of 395 Youth Offender Outreach program workshops and 130 NYC youth offenders were served. youngmichael, a 16 year old student of the program, has accomplished many creative projects. "One project I am proud of is producing my song, "I've been with Art Start, performing, dancing, rapping, acting, producing, anything you can name."
Using available technology, the Across Borders Concept helps students connect with others in different states and countries, building a larger community of support.
The Emerging Artist in Residency (EAR) program is a six months program where students face a demanding schedule of coursework. EAR develop management, leadership and social skills through project management, entertainment showcasing, and internships. "Art Start has better my life. It actually helped me be free, and free my own mind," stated Prince Akeem, a student of the EAR Masters program.
"A lot of times, our students are getting into situations because they don't have places, outlets. Creative expression is a healthy tool to allow them to get some of that angst out," says Spirit, an EAR instructor and music producer. Using art and music helps these students build up trusting relationships—not just with their teachers, but with themselves.
Miky, an EAR artist who's now 21, was happy to perform "Shine" at Art Start's recording studio in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. The program transformed his life and gave him hope for the future. "I was thinking, I gotta help out my gang, let me help out my crew. In school I didn't pay attention to teachers." When he was 16, Miky was involved in gang-related fights and was charged with drug possession. "After Art Start, the only thing I am actually proud of is, that my mind is actually open," he adds. "I haven't really accomplished things that I want to, but I know there is going to be a point that I will."
"Art Start's real mission is to build upon the innate talents and the innate gifts that our youth have" says Johanna. "Some people complete big works of art and others just begin to experience creatively and then with that, they find the confidence to go out and try something totally not related to the arts." This newly found confidence gives them the hope that they can overcome the obstacles and circumstances these marginalized youth already face.

RISE acknowledges that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the original owners and custodians of the land that we live and work on.
The lives of the Syrian people are sacrificed and crushed between the geopolitical interests of industrialised countries who hold power in the UN. Australia is a member of the UN security council yet all Australian politicians including Foreign Minister Bob Carr talk about is "stopping boats".
The numbers released last week indicate that more than 684 000 Syrian refugees are in Lebanon, 516 000 in Jordan. In just the last 5 days, 30 000 Syrian refugees have fled to Iraq. During the last financial year Australia received only about 25 000 asylum seekers. In Australia these refugees will be sent to Nauru or Manus Island.
Syria itself over decades has hosted refugees from other countries including about half a million Palestinian refugees and they are now going to be displaced again.
UNHCR predicts that the projections in 2013 indicate a continued outpouring of refugees from Syria to neighboring countries with an uncertain timetable for return (http://data.unhcr.org/syrianrefugees/syria.php).
What steps are being taken by the UN and the international community to ensure that independent monitors can move freely in Syria and all parties are held accountable for the war crimes and crimes against humanity being committed against the people?
What steps are being taken by Australia, particularly as a member of the UN security council, that in addition to ensuring there is independent monitoring we share the world's responsibility to provide safety for people from Syria. Is the government willing to act by
a. increasing humanitarian assistance in this region
b. increasing our humanitarian intake
rather than funneling millions of dollars of taxpayers' money into private corporations running the immigration detention and "security" industry that imprisons a relatively small number of refugee men, women and children seeking asylum in Australia to serve the personal interests of politicians and their mates?

The city of Palo Alto, in the heart of California's Silicon Valley, is already on the cutting edge of modern technology, as the home of Tesla Motors, Hewlett-Packard and Stanford University. It also has large facilities run by Facebook, Apple, Google and PayPal. Outside of the private sector, though, there's not a lot to distinguish Palo Alta from other very wealthy ZIP codes.
A move is in the works to change that, though. According to both the San Jose Mercury News and Green Car Reports, all nine members of the Palo Alto City Council voted to change the city's building code, requiring new homes to feature pre-wiring for 240-volt, level two, in-home chargers. It tacks on about $200 to the overall cost of a new home, which as Green Car Reports notes, is a mere fraction of what retrofitting would cost.
The city council also voted to streamline the process of obtaining a permit to install a fast charger. "It is important that we create the infrastructure necessary to allow [electric cars to catch on]. In Palo Alto, of all places, we should absolutely do that," Council Member Marc Berman told the San Jose Mercury News.

Get It On The Floor 'Cynazure'August 31st, 2010
As some of you may know, I am a dancer. I also choreograph an all female group called Cynazure, with my good friend. We entered a streetdance competition over the weekend, called Get It On The Floor and we placed 2nd overall!! There were a lot of awesome groups competing! Well done to everyone! Here is the footage of the performance, just showing you how we party…. enjoy!
South West Four/ Notting Hill Carnival WeekendAugust 31st, 2010
Wow! What a Bank Holiday weekend! It has been crazy! I work for the Kiss 100 street team, and this weekend I had the privilege of working at SW4 Festival on the Saturday at Clapham Common and Notting Hill Carnival! It was live! Great music, great food, and lots of fun whilst working!
It was the first time I had been to a festival, even though I was working I was still able to enjoy and get a feel for the festival vibe. I am not really a big fun of deep house music, and to be honest before this event I did not know about all of the DJ's that were playing but they were dope!! Laidback Luke's set was real good!
Despite a lot of the crowd being full on drunk/ highly intoxicated with substances by 3pm it was still a great event! Next year… maybe…?
Bank Holiday Monday, Notting Hill Carnival. I haven't been to Carnival for years. The last time I went I was playing Steel Pan on one of the floats. I kind of forgot about going for a while, due to all the crazy things happening. I must say, this year was live! Good food, great music, and the females….. well.. need I say more, if you were there you would know what I am talking about! If you haven't been Carnival before it is a good place to be, with the right people with good vibes! It was also good to see a range of cultures enjoying the food, music and dancing, really having fun!

Chivalrous CultureAugust 25th, 2010
Chivalrous Culture, the new line of 'sneakers' from Diggy Simmons. Following the footsteps of his father and sisters, with his entrepreneurial mindset, this young guy is not waiting for any man. It must 'RUN' in the family…. lol. When I heard that he was going to drop a line of trainers, alongside pursuing his rap game, I was really excited to see what he was going to bring. Straightaway the name of the brand and the logo got me hyped! Good meaning, very nice logo, nice concept!
I am highly considering getting a pair of these, cos' my 'sneakers' are kind of dying on me right about now….
These Hamachi sneakers are available in a range of colourways, and materials.
Check out the line!
Ratzilla….August 20th, 2010
Ok so my mum told me about this last night. I haven't caught the news properly to see a full report, so I googled this 'Ratzilla' story…. Now I am not a fan of rodents, nor am I completely terrified of them, but this…. is flipping disgusting!
If these oversized rodents start to invade London and I see one…. Boy…

Jawan Harris – NobodyAugust 17th, 2010
This 12 year old has taken the YouTube community by storm! For his age he has such an amazing voice! Well he now has his first single out called Nobody, and he has just been signed to Jive Records, this kid is doing big things! I checked out the video today, and I am impressed. Nice video, great singing, and some smooth choreography which goes real nice with the track. This guy reminds me of when Chris Brown first started but even younger, the funny thing is Chris Brown makes a cameo appearance in the video. I guess the comparison has already been made. Justin Beiber may have some problems… lol. All embedding of the video has been disabled so check out the link to the video. When I find a video I will update.
Daughter knows too much….August 17th, 2010
This video is too much! A little girl who knows a little bit too much information for her age… CRINGE! LOL
Guanabana BarAugust 17th, 2010
It was my friends birthday over the weekend, and we went out a a nice Brazilian bar called Guanabana in Central London. It's a really nice bar, good vibes, and really packed! Throughout the night there were a variety of acts, capoeira and dancers. Here as a brief clip of the Samba dancers and the band. They were amazing! I definitely have to hit Brazil!
