Native Plants
Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.

Topic: Grasses or Grass-like
Title: Native grasses palatable for horses and eliminating KR bluestem.
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Looking for native Texas grasses which are palatable for horses, to overseed in areas which are currently overrun with KR bluestem. What are the best grasses and best way to accomplish this? (SW Gillespie Co.) Thanks!
ANSWER:First, let's address the problem of getting rid of King Ranch (KR) bluestem. We've had several inquiries recently and, in fact, the 2007 Texas Invasive Plant Conference had an entire day devoted to a symposium addressing just this question. Please see the answer to a recent question about eliminating KR bluestem for a thorough discussion of the problem.
Here are several native grasses that make good forage for horses and cattle:
Bouteloua gracilis (blue grama)
Bouteloua hirsuta (hairy grama)
Bouteloua curtipendula (sideoats grama)
Bouteloua dactyloides (buffalograss)
Schizachyrium scoparium (little bluestem)
Andropogon gerardii (big bluestem)
Tripsacum dactyloides (eastern gamagrass)
Sorghastrum nutans (Indiangrass)
Panicum virgatum (switchgrass)
You can read an analysis of most of the species above in Forages of Texas - North Central by Texas A&M Agricultural Research and Extension Center at Stephenville.
Several sources (e.g., Safergrass.org) emphasize the nutritional benefits of using native grasses over introduced grasses. You do need to realize, however, that native grass pastures are more difficult to establish than pastures of the introduced forage grasses. Native grasses face competition from introduced nonnative grasses and need to be managed carefully to prevent overgrazing. Native Prairies Association of Texas, Kansas State University and the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation have information on planting and establishing native grasses.
Native American Seed in Junction is an excellent source for native grass seeds. They also have information on planting native grasses. You can also look for other seed companies and nurseries in your area that specialize in native plants in our National Suppliers Directory.A cautionary note—although most native grasses are desirable to feed your horses, there are some grasses and other plants, both native and non-native, that you should avoid for your pasture. The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation has compiled a list of Poisonous Plant Considerations.

The call to go for it or fall back and rebuild is hard enough with a good general manager, but to have a non-baseball guy like Daly trying to feel his way through it must just be agony for LA fans. Are they still waiting for the offseason to hire Malone's replacement?

- Crime and punishment April 30
The soccer fan suspected of throwing a banana at Barcelona defender Dani Alves has been arrested. BBC News reports that Spanish police detained a 26-year-old male who is a fan of the opposing team, Villarreal CF. The club also pulled the man's season tickets and placed a lifetime ban on him.
The Brazilian-born Alves, who has been the victim of racist taunts for years, picked up the banana and ate it — a much-praised reaction that garnered worldwide attention. After Sunday's game, Alves admitted he wasn't outraged by the incident, saying, "You have to take it with a dose of humor. We aren't going to change things easily."- - Jordan Valinsky

The people of Israel deserve a better political system, former Kadima leader
Tzipi Livni said Tuesday at a rally in Tel Aviv against the deal struck Monday
night to bring Kadima into the Likud-led government."I was invited here
tonight by young people protesting against what they are seeing. They deserve a
political system of values, not just of seats," Livni said, adding that she came
to embrace the protesters, before leaving.In regards to Kadima head
Shaul Mofaz, she said: "I said all I had to say when I resigned from the
Knesset."Police arrested at least seven people, including a Haaretz
reporter and a photographer from Israel HaYom, both of whom were released
shortly thereafter without charges.Tel Aviv city councilman Yoav
Goldring was also arrested during the protest.The protest was held under
the banner "We are all the opposition," and was organized after news broke of
the national unity government deal late Monday night.One of the
organizers, Yonatan Levi, said the coalition deal was "one of worst slaps in the
face ever to the Israeli public," and decried what he said was the hypocrisy of
Mofaz, who called Netanyahu a liar in the months before joining the
coalition.Levi, who was one of the main organizers of the summer's mass
"social justice" protests, said that before Monday he and others were planning
to focus the upcoming summer's protests on the elections previously set for
September 4. However, in light of Monday night's deal, they will focus on
bringing people back to the streets with the message "that this government must
go, they only survive on dirty tricks and they have to leave."The
demonstration showed many traits from the summer's protests, including calls for
Netanyahu to resign, and a few chants comparing him to former Egyptian president
Hosni Mubarak and Syrian President Bashar Assad, as well as Russian President
Vladimir Putin.Meanwhile in downtown Jerusalem, around 200 people
gathered carrying signs that read "If the government is against the people, the
people are against the government!" Like in Tel Aviv, protesters recycled many
of the chants from last summer's social protests, including calls for Netanyahu
to resign."Young people say, 'If this is politics, we don't want
anything do to with this,'" said Rabbi Michael Melchior, a former social and
diaspora affairs minister and the chief rabbi of Norway. "So many red lines were
crossed in the past 24 hours.""Even though I'm critical of the social
protests from last summer, the situation in Israel is insufferable," said Tuvia
Singer, who is getting his doctorate in history.Singer cited the
government's lack of transparency as one of the biggest issues. "What happened
with Mofaz is a symptom of something deeper," he added.In Zion Square
the protesters encountered some opposition from a number of youths, who yelled
"Death to Arabs!" Other residents yelled at the protesters to go
home."They're piggybacking on the situation with the coalition and
trying to bring down the Right," said Yisrael Levy, a teacher.

Jets fried like bacon
High-voltage Lightning skate circles around Winnipeg
TAMPA, Fla. -- They acknowledged their sins after Thursday's meltdown against the Florida Panthers, then went right back out and repeated them Friday.
And really, they were even worse.
The Tampa Bay Lightning were a grateful bunch, taking five power plays in the first period alone and ripping home three goals to make it a laugher of a victory, 8-3 over the rattled Jets.
Winnipeg returns home from a three-game road trip with nothing but losses, now 3-4-1.
First Period:
-- It started with Cory Conacher's tip-in goal when Ondrej Pavelec was very deep in his net. A few minutes later, Chris Thorburn checked Tampa Bay's Sami Salo into the boards from behind and was banished from the game with a major penalty. Twice during the sentence, Winnipeg went down two men with further minor penalties and Steven Stamkos and Vinny Lecavalier belted home 5-on-3 goals to make it 3-0.
"It's obviously not where you want to go, with what we're talking about and the difficulty we've had killing penalties," said Jets defenceman Ron Hainsey, who shot the puck over the glass, causing one of the five-on-threes. "The five-minute situation, where the last thing you want to do is take another one."
Second Period:
-- Late in the first period, when referees Tim Peel and Mike Leggo gave Victor Hedman a pass on a late hit on Blake Wheeler, who had dumped the puck in, the Jets bench lost its cool. Already down 3-0, the chirping led to an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty to Evander Kane. And that led to another goal early in the second by Conacher, one second after Kane's penalty was over.
"Some of the penalties we took weren't great," said Jets coach Claude Noel. "Then the hit on Wheeler was a call that certainly our bench thought (went) against us. It kind of caught us off-guard on that one. The guys were frustrated and angry, and I think that it showed.
"We ended up taking another penalty."
The Conacher and Nate Thompson goals drove Pavelec from the net on 14 shots and five goals, and replacement Al Montoya allowed Teddy Purcell to make it 6-0 on the first shot he faced.
Third Period:
-- Maybe a little pride entered the equation, but Winnipeg finally hit the board with goals by Toby Enstrom, then Paul Postma (his first in the NHL in his 12th game) and Andrew Ladd, both of those on the power play. Ryan Malone had another for the Lightning in a river-hockey third period.
"Heading into the third, I think we just wanted top finish it off the right way and keep battling to the end. Which I thought we did," said Ladd. "It's tough to find something to say when things are going that way. It's pretty self-explanatory, what needed to be done. Really, much didn't have to be said. Some things were said but that will stay in here."
After the buzzer:
-- After an angry, fuming conversation with reporters Thursday, Noel looked subdued, maybe defeated, after this one. At least for a night.
"Sometimes you've got to hit rock bottom to figure out you've had enough of this stuff," Noel said. "Our job is to find solutions to these things. For me, I know how our team can play."

The gender imbalance in IT is real, ongoing and ridiculous
Re: TL;DR - no, thanks.
"Beg your fucking pardon? I am the problem? I don't mean to be rude but you don't even fucking know me, mate."
Your reading comprehension skills are in the sewer; you managed to completely misunderstand the referenced study AND somehow that brain scans aren't the same, when JulieM clearly said that the differences are of the same magnitude of those between rich and poor, not that they don't exist. The referenced study only makes sense when it comes to people completely lying to themselves to fit a narrative, and genuinely believing it. It's called rationalization, and it's a bedrock of human psychology.
Seriously, man, go back to grammar school.
Re: It's not the fault of the z80 generation, it's the fault of the SJW generation.
However lucid Pinker is, pithy one-liners aren't science, they're just pithy one-liners, that's the thing. Science says that brains have certain statistical trends, but that female brains are just as adaptable as male brains, and that there's a much larger overlap between male and female brains than the curmudgeons insist, and yet not as much as the folks who want us to be completely genderblind.
I guess you could ask why, when everyone has two eyes and ten fingers, we make so much out of such minor differences?
Re: I can't get excited about gender imbalance on this occasion
Most of the push is just impatience; the idea is that there is an injustice, and we must fix this injustice NOW. Since there's no way to go back in time to change everyone's upbringing, it falls on industry now to retroactively fix society's bullshit. The occasional instance of a wildly unjust and misogynist workplace is blown out of proportion to its real-life influence, and if anything that myopia only drives away women who'd be happy in most IT departments. (Well, as happy as any of us; IT is full of alcoholic clock-punchers. Can't say I blame anyone for avoiding it.)
Unfortunately, it doesn't work out that way. Some social revolutions take time, and can only start with the new generation. This really shouldn't be news to anyone who looks at social dynamics.
Ten excellent FREE PC apps to brighten your Windows
Re: Paint.net
A very capable alternative to Paint.Net is PhotoFiltre; both are quite handy and can easily do lots of basic editing. XnView and Irfanview can do basic editing, but it's all too obvious that isn't where the focus is.
GIMP is in a league of its own; not Photoshop by a long shot, but far beyond anything the above crop can do. If it's ever given a total revamp by a real UI designer (and they skip the interminable load time for font at startup) it'd be a one-stop shop for all things image.
But somehow, in the desktop world there's just no equivalent to the instant-tweaking editors of the mobile world (Snapseed, Instagram, etc). Multiple times I've been upset that Photoshop, let alone all the free alternatives, makes it so difficult to do trivial things. There's still a long way to go in the editing world....

WinShock PoC clocked: But DON'T PANIC... It's no Heartbleed
In what world is source patching the only form of patching? Barring a catastrophe, Windows Update is two clicks and forget. OpenSSL can be that simple if it was delivered as part of your OS, but it turned out that it was also statically built into many applications, it was a large part of many unsupported or never-updated networking appliances, long with the necessary extra work to get custom installs working.
If you ever look into it, I think you'll find that building a copy of DD-WRT is significantly more painful than changing one line of code, despite having the source. Then come back about how trivial it is.
Walmart's $99 crap-let will make people hate Windows 8.1 even more
Still better than things like Iconia One
For a supposedly intelligent audience, reg commenters don't seem to remember that people were still glad to get 1GB of memory only a few short years ago, and tablets made do perfectly well with 512MB. It's no speed demon, but it's obviously not meant to be a desktop publishing platform; it'll play simple games designed for it, write documents, and do other tablet-y things. Stick to Metro browsers and apps and memory pressure won't be a problem, only desktop apps will seriously suffer from paging. Sorry it enrages you guys that something like this exists and caters to people who want to stretch their budget.
And given that it's expandable and they give you another 16GB card free, this is really a 32GB tablet. 16GB would be a joke indeed (but at least not a $700 joke, like the lowest-end iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2).
SCREW YOU, net neutrality hippies – AT&T halts gigabit fiber
Re: Obama Plan for Internet?? - Nooooo!
"Now, pick any two of the above. You are not allowed by the laws of economics to pick all three, sorry. Unfortunately our quasi-president is selling the idea that people can pick all three, and much of the public is ignorant enough to believe him."
Or maybe we can rearrange things to do less of some things and more of other, while becoming more efficient with better practices; it's not like any of those three choices are binary. Well, they are if you're an idiot.
Pithy sayings lose some of their power against $2.5tn industries.
Re: Yeah, right
It's just a hoary old rubber chicken that they trot out every time they don't get their way. Every few years they go make a big announcement to keep it fresh in everyone's mind, make a few token rollouts, and then use the rest of the country as pawns until they're finally forgotten about entirely.
This time it looks like they haven't even bothered to make a token rollout first. Even their pram-tossing fits are victims of cost-cutting these days!
ISPs are stripping encryption from netizens' email – EFF
Given that most client-facing services that use STARTTLS (or POP/IMAP/SMTP in general, these days) require some random other port anyway, it isn't really that transparent to the client. It's more of a bolt-on for lazy server admins, not clients, and it's the businesses that should move to connection-based TLS instead.
It seems odd to argue to drop it for PGP, since they each mitigate completely different attacks.

NASTY SSL 3.0 vuln to be revealed soon – sources (Update: It's POODLE)

It's almost impossible to not have TLS support in anything that supports SSL, and this is just one more of the dozens of existing vulnerabilities in SSL 3. Even TLS 1.0 is past its prime and needs to be replaced by 1.2 ASAP, so it's time to just turn SSL off for good.

What the 4K: High-def DisplayPort vid meets reversible USB Type C
Re: 100W? Isn't the copper a bit thin for that??
Higher voltages allow lower resistance (heat). 12V and 24V are the standard PoweredUSB voltages, but even then you're still talking 4-8A, quite a bit for a little wire. They'd have to go up to 48V (PoE) to get it under the 2.1A that seems pretty standard on USB chargers now, and maybe that's exactly what they did.
Straight to video: Facebook to add 'view counts' to autoplay newsfeed vids
Re: BS Marketing 101
That has to do with all of the conspiracy theories that Facebook demands money for exposure... they assume everyone who "liked" them is still an active user, didn't unfollow them for spamming feeds, and even cares about anything they post. FB's algorithm is dirt simple: If you stop liking, sharing, and commenting on a page of with a friend, it stops showing you anything from that friend/page, and by and large, people are actually happy to have your uninteresting crap cleaned off their feed.
Quite a few pages have paid their money only to realize users still don't give a damn, and still aren't seeing their posts, so I basically just unlike pages that persist in spreading that rumor now.

IT blokes: would you say that LEWD comment to a man? Then don't say it to a woman
Re: Surprised..
Less an American thing, more a case of a self-styled big shot getting away from the corporate oversight and consequences, around a bunch of strangers with a few drinks in hand. As someone said, it's also a reflection of their general character, writ larger with alcohol; they're probably giant assholes to most of the men they encounter too, not just the women, even if the harassment isn't sexual.
Unfortunately, this is one of the most common characters you meet at conventions. Fortunately, there are lots of others and there are ways to report them, too.
AMD unveils 'single purpose' graphics card for PC gamers and NO ONE else
Re: "a single purpose: to play demanding PC games"
I guess you've been under a rock for a decade, if you haven't noticed that the era of consoles in the living room and PCs in the bedroom is long past. Aside from all the Xbox and PS games available for PC, Steam has spent years building living-room friendly PC gaming, and in the meantime, console games have been retreating to online-multiplayer that isn't as living-room-friendly.
Cracking copyright law: How a simian selfie stunt could make a monkey out of Wikipedia
> No. That is not true.
Agency requires a contract! This is true in all Berne convention nations. The ONLY time agency is implicit is if the creator is both traditionally employed (not contracted) and the creation is part of their job duties. In all other cases the copyright would either be with the one who pressed the button at the right time, be shared with the one who edited the raw into a final, or simply be in dispute.
How can you possibly defend the idea that a random stranger firing the camera falls under an agency agreement?
Re: It really doesn't matter
Welcome to ten years ago, the hate train on Wikipedia left the station a long time back.
But what makes you think they've lost anything? You aren't important, you make a few minor edits and haven't donated money, so how can you speak for those who do? Your opinion means nothing to them, especially if more support it than don't; from what I've seen, that's the case -- Wikipedia is huge with the "information wants to be free" (aka freetard) crowd already.
It's time for PGP to die, says ... no, not the NSA – a US crypto prof
Re: Not saying PGP is perfect
Fingerprints are so broken. They're a straight MD5, which only gets more broken every year. Every email client I've used only presents 32 bits of the fingerprint for your visual verification. It's time for PGP to move on and some of the brilliant people who put modern TLS together to start working on secure email, otherwise Google and Yahoo will be the only ones controlling it.
We've already patched and bodged SMTP into the 21st century, kicking and screaming all the way, at least; that proves that smart people could tackle PGP too.

You've got three days to patch Adobe Flash, Air, Reader
Foxit is nice enough...
...but I just finally had to dump it for Adobe last night, despite the incredibly bad taste in my mouth. It just plain couldn't handle huge PDFs, leaving a black screen instead, and it was always slow as molasses at rendering complex PDFs anyway. It seems to have been largely abandoned, no performance updates for years, just little UI changes and bugfixes. But yeah, you can imagine how awesome it feels to have a critical update come out the day I switch over.
(The fact that it's now almost as spammy about upgrading as Adobe doesn't help.)
What's next for OpenGL for the desktop, mobile devices, and the web?

Google devs: Tearing Chrome away from OpenSSL not that easy
Re: Could this happen with LibreSSL too?
One thing this article didn't approach is that Chrome is based on NSS, not OpenSSL, and the totally different APIs are what make the drop-in so painful. If it was just OpenSSL to BoringSSL or LibreSSL, it would be much smoother. (Well, not so much in LibreSSL's case, since all of the neat kludgy platform-specific hacks were removed, making it much less portable at this time.)
Hey Intel – that new Pro 2500 SSD looks awfully familiar
Re: I hearby revoke your techie creds
Not really, no. Idle for a laptop is around 10-25W depending on what you have inside. The savings are less than one percent (significantly less if you have an older laptop). Getting an extra minute or three on a full charge is nice, but hardly substantial.

DISPLAY DESTRUCTION D'OH! Teardown cracks Surface Pro 3 screen
Re: Even more confused by the choice of Micro SD slot now
CF is dead, and its successor XQD was stillborn. SD is up to 280MB/s compared to CF/XQD's 168MB/s maximum, and hardly any new cards have been released for years. Lexar's 3333x would be amazing but it's been vaporware for 6 months, without even pricing released, while SD continues to advance.
Regarding the SD size problem, SD to MicroSD adapters exist just like MicroSD to SD. Just buy one. Outside of the DSLR world, MicroSD is where the entire memory card industry is going, so it's no surprise. (I'm just insanely appreciative that a slot was included; even Google dropped them.)
Re: Why bother making things so thin?
Removing the screen is the first step to every Surface repair, so yeah. Surface and Surface 2 do have replacement screens available, so Surface 3 is almost certain to get them too.
I'd argue that the screen is "fragile" since it's thin enough that Microsoft probably won't be able to repair it, and will have to replace the screen each time. Sturdier glass would lower repair costs for them as well as everyone else.
Re: Can it play Crysis?
That was a reply to the Canon 6D comment.
Re: Still News?
I think you're deeply confused about how repairable most technology is, Dave. In particular, iPhone 4 and up are actually pretty easy to repair, it's only the older ones that are a pain in the ass. They have high repairability scores. Thousands of people a day use iFixit guides to repair their stuff, whether the manufacturer supports it or not.
So no, no one actually KNEW that it wasn't repairable until the attempt was made; quite often they are.
Re: Planned obsolescence
I'm sure if people were obsessed with buying the thinnest, lightest cars that could also exceed 200MPH while barely sipping gas/leccy, cars would also be basically unserviceable. (Some are anyway, just ask any mechanic what they think about working on an Audi.)
Oracle shares pummeled after giant reports glacial growth
Re: So where was the growth supposed to come from?
I think you're looking at the wrong year -- US corporate spending is finally opening up in a big way this year, after trickling up for the past couple years. It's mainly Oracle who isn't benefiting from all of this, from the looks of it.
Protecting code's secrets wins ACM prize
This sounds like missing the point entirely
Most non-trivial unpackers are already based on tracing and reassembling the code as it executes, or by having completely reverse-engineered the packer. I don't understand what this solves, since all of the routines that programmers will want to protect are also likely to be the ones executed most often. I'm not aware of many obfuscation schemes that are easily beaten by "algebraic methods", so this lands squarely in the land of "fancy tricks that impress programmers but have no real-world applicability".
What can The Simpsons teach us about stats algorithms? Glad you asked...
So... what's the options, then?
Deciding how to normalize this disparate data into something that can be combined into a single dataset is basically why Mr. Fancy Math gets paid to crunch numbers. How about expanding the article with that?

Windows XP fixes flaws for free if you turn PCs into CASH REGISTERS
Re: XP x64 screwed?
If enough people care, whole "alternative update" sites will spring up, that will repackage Server 2003 updates for XP x64 and all the Vista/7 and supported XP variations for mainline XP (or simply "obtained" from companies that retain support contracts). Then you just repoint update.microsoft.com in your hosts file and poof, updates and false sense of security are yours for the taking.
SpaceX billionaire claims Air Force official 'likely' made job-for-spy-sat-contract deal
Re: Wait a minute...
The tweet leads me to believe he felt out both SpaceX and Aerojet before the contract was awarded. If SpaceX had offered the position, who knows if they'd have the contract right now? (And a lawsuit from Aerojet instead.) There are people that corrupt out there, but it's impossible to know if Correll is one. It's conjecture until it gets to court.
Re: I reckon Musk has the goods on Correll about trying to get a job off Spacex
No one gives a damn about that, people have been going back and forth between military and civil service for centuries. I mean, no one likes it, but at this point only bushy tailed university students think that they can change anything. What gets people up in arms about this and other blatant instances is approving a sweetheart deal right before you get a sweetheart deal back from the same company. That just makes everyone angry; people like to think they have a voice, no one likes to be reminded that companies buy and sell all of the laws no matter what the people think.

Finding Suggestions
In observance of the Thanksgiving holiday, many Virginia Beach government offices and facilities will be closed or operating on an adjusted schedule. Solid waste and recycling collection will not be provided on Thanksgiving Day, however, residents who normally have collection on Thursdays will receive service on Sat., Nov. 29. More Information...

Mary C. Russo, director of the Virginia Beach Office of Volunteer Resources for the past 35 years, will be honored next month with the Division Leadership Award by the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce.
The award honors one volunteer from each city in South Hampton Roads who "sets a standard for making service a central part of their lives for the betterment of individuals and the community."
Russo founded the city's volunteer office in 1978 and has been its only director ever since. From her office in City Hall and from her iPad at home, Russo coordinates the efforts of more than 20,000 volunteers who contribute more than 1.4 million hours of work each year. City volunteers staff ambulances, coach sports leagues, read to children, keep roads and parks clean, and help the elderly and handicapped, among many other activities.
These volunteers save city taxpayers more than $20 million by generously performing for free work that would otherwise require 682 full-time city employees.
"Mary has graciously given the better part of her 87 years to serving her community," City Manager James K. Spore said. "She is an inspiring example for all Virginia Beach residents. Our city is a kinder, more beautiful and more generous place because of her efforts."
Russo will be honored at the chamber's annual meeting Dec. 11 at the Founders Inn.

Review quote
Teacher feedback on the first edition: 'Yet another highly useful and timely textbook from Andy Heywood which will instil confidence in students and their teachers.' - Kerrie Carpenter, Head of Social Sciences, St Philomena's School 'Drawing on his experience as a teacher and examiner, Andrew Heywood has written a textbook that will be clear and accessible to all, but that also contains the depth of analysis required for students to reach the higher grades. If you are looking for a single textbook to meet all your students' needs, this is the one! I will be adopting this book.' - Linda Jeffries, Old Palace School 'It does something so essential to the study of politics: it wraps the theory in relevant, up-to-date and interesting examples which engage the student quickly. The lay out is appealing and the way it tackles the subject makes sense with the exam specs in mind.' - Gareth J. Hughes, Head of Government and Politics, Silcoates School

At the United Nations, President Barack Obama spoke about deadly riots sparked by an anti-Islam video. He said, "there are no words that excuse the killing of innocents." Many of the rioters have demanded that the U.S. government impose restrictions on speech that they find offensive. But the U.S. Constitution gives broad protection for free speech.

Will you be watching the One Direction: TV Special?
Stop what you're doing right now and LISTEN. One Direction has landed their first U.S. network TV special with NBC. Yeah, we're freaking out too!
Find out more after the jump!
Do you want to see Alec with a late night show?
Nobody is safe in late night. Not even Carson Daly.
Carson has been quietly hosting Last Call with Carson Daly for the last 12 years, posting decent numbers for his 1:35am time slot because, well, his only competition is infomercials and reruns of The Golden Girls. However, it seems NBC has decided that since they're already shaking up Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon's shows, they may as well do the same thing to Carson. It appears that Last Call could be getting a major upgrade because Alec Baldwin is reportedly being considered as a permanent host replacement!
Find out the details after the jump!
Let's just say Joe Biden shouldn't quit his day job anytime soon.
He may understandably lack some acting chops, but the VP didn't do too bad of a job in his cameo last night on NBC's Parks and Recreation since, well, he was playing himself. In the episode, Ben (Adam Scott) gives Leslie (Amy Poehler) a surprise engagement gift of a meet-and-greet with Joe, who she has long had a crush on. And the VP has a great smile, if nothing else. Guess it just runs in that office between him and Barack Obama...
Check out the clip after the jump!
Every fall, networks struggle to get viewers to tune into their new shows — and if they don't draw enough eyes in a week or two, they swiftly get the axe.
But this fall, NBC is taking a different approach — they're making way for the success of their new lineup by giving returning comedies Whitney and Community the boot! Or at least pushing them for an indeterminate amount of time.
Did NBC just give these shows the kiss of death? What gives? Find out after the jump.
Conservative family (read: bigot) group One Million Moms have unsuccessfully attempted to take Ellen DeGeneres and NBC show The New Normal off the air, but it's not stopping them from continuing to go after programs with gay themes.
ABC Family is getting ready to air The Fosters, a show executive-produced by Jennifer Lopez that centers around two women raising an ethnically diverse brood of both biological and adoptive children. That isn't sitting well with the organization though and they're trying to keep the show from reaching the airwaves. "Obviously, ABC has lost their minds," they said in a statement. "ABC's Family Channel has several anti-family programs, and…many families have already discovered that ABC Family Channel is anything but family-friendly."
What else did they have to say? Find out after the jump!
In the world of reality competition shows, there are few that make it out alive and even fewer that go on to have lengthy careers. However, Pentatonix seem primed to be one of the few who can pull off that feat.
The a capella group of five vocalists from Texas won the third season of NBC show The Sing-Off last November, claiming the $200,000 grand prize and a recording contract with Sony. They released their debut EP last June, PTX Vol. 1, which cracked No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 200. Now they've been taking their act out on the road and spoke with Hollywire's own Chelsea Briggs about their experiences touring the country!
Click on the video to get the full scoop!
Which show would you prefer to watch?
Long-time rivals Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera are about to see their battle spill over into the judges table!
NBC just announced that next week's season premiere of The Voice will be extended to three nights, Monday through Wednesday. So what's the problem? The premiere of Fox show The X Factor is scheduled to air on Wednesday. Not only that, but according to yahoo.com, the two shows are overlapping in the same time slot!
One person who was NOT happy about this is Simon Cowell. And as Simon does, he didn't hold back in giving his opinion. What did he have to say? Find out after the jump!

I'm not sure what the "etc" that follows Urbino stands for, but towns the west and north of Urbino, in the Montefeltro hills, are rich in interest and charm. Loreto, though by the sea, is one of the great art sights of the region.
But it is vary hard to craft an itinerary for someone else, especially since you haven't said where you are coming from to enter le Marche, and especially since the mountain range that sits in the of the region makes it hard to move around unless you include the seaside for covering some ground. If you have not already pored over the Marche Voyager website guide to all the towns and various itineraries you could take, then it describes more than can easily be done by posters here.
If you are driving north from le Marche to Ravenna, then San Leo is a spectacularly situated hilltown that is almost en route in you are coming from Urbino. The seaside town of Rimini (in Emilia-Romagna) has several noteworthy ancient Roman and Renaissance sites, plus various quirky shrines to Federico Fellini, who was born there. North of Rimini, the town of Cesenatico has a port designed by Leonardo da Vinci, and if you approach Ravenna from that southern coastal route, you can include a stop in Classe to see the brilliant byzantine mosaics in the basilica of Sant'Apollinare, which are an integral part of the historic mosaics of Ravenna.

Parkland Signs Improvement Agreement, Remains Open
In addition, the hospital must contract with nationally recognized experts to develop and implement a quality assessment and performance improvement program. It also must hire a full-time, independent, on-site compliance officer to provide oversight and coordination of Parkland's efforts to return to compliance.
In an e-mail to HealthLeaders Media on Wednesday night, Bob Moos, a CMS spokesperson for the Dallas region, said Parkland has 45 days to provide CMS with a list of potential consultants. He added that another full survey of the Parkland facility will be scheduled for six months to a year from now. If there are "substantial compliance findings" the term of the SIA could be shortened.
"We welcome this opportunity to work in partnership with CMS. Our goal, along with CMS, is to return Parkland to deemed status and full compliance with all of CMS' regulatory standards. That's our responsibility to our patients and to the people of Dallas County," said John Jay Shannon, MD, Parkland's executive vice president and chief medical officer in a press statement.

rub some dirt on it
First I would run over to her to see if she is okay,then check her body to make extra sure she is and comfort her as well.
i think you should comfort them if its serious, they should know you care if something happens to them, why would you just let it go.
I'm not 100% on how I will handle it yet because my daughter is only 4 months but I agree with zoodles it depends on the type of hurt.
this is not a fair question because it depends on HOW they get hurt…. if they were messing around and bumped their head i just pretend not to notice or say "well that was silly" and he gets over it really fast…..
the other day my little man fell off the big boy potty while reaching for some TP and i rushed over because he had a big goose egg on his forhead from hitting the wall…..
so usually i just pretend not to notice and that way he doesn't either….. but when its major i rush over to him or he comes to me….
I can normally tell if she is hurt by the kind of cry she has…if it is her hurt cry I rush over if it is just a cry I ask her if she is okay and if she wants me to kiss it :)…it's cute cuz she comes to me when I am hurt and kisses my booboos
Im not quite a mommy yet, but i would think to comfort them depending on how badly they were hurt. If it was just a bump or a little fall that startled them then i think distantly asking if he/she was ok would be exceptable.
@ FatzMommy—>that's exactly how I work with my daughter. She's really independent too…especially for her young age.
if its no serious i pretend i dont notice. if you make a big deal about it then thats when they start crying..
i guess it depends on how they get hurt.. if i can see that it wasnt nothin serious and he isnt even phased by it then i let him be but he will let me know if he needs me or not lol he is very independent
Jes dont make it too big of a deal when they get hurt.. they know how to tug those heart strings, but i always check for boo boos!
you right it's at the end call
we have to be careful , babies are really smart even little ones, so, we should know when and how to show our emotions on the perfect time, we don't like to encourage them to be over dramatic
If I know they are not seriously hurt, I dont rush over so it doesnt freak them out. If I know it is serious, of course I run. My son doesnt cry over every little thing now because I didnt make a huge deal out of it!
I like to comfort him, but everybody is different.
you want to see if their ok but you don't want to encourage them to be over dramatic.. it's at the end your call
Too little sincere emotion is shown to children. people seem to busy or they want to make sure their kids are so tough.

Demolition Recommended At Ohio Uranium Plant Site
The federal government recommends demolishing over 200 buildings at the site of a former Cold War-era uranium plant in southern Ohio.
Ohio plans to sell only one of five state prisons it put on the auction block in an unexpected twist on privatization plans being announced Thursday.
The Associated Press has learned that the state will sell the Lake Erie Correctional Institution in Ashtabula County to Corrections Corporation of America for $72.7 million,
more than the $50 million required to balance the state prisons budget.
Management Training Corporation, or MTC, of Centerville, Utah, will operate North Central Correctional Institution and the vacant Marion Juvenile Correctional Facility as a single prison camp,
saving 6 percent on state costs, according to information from the Ohio prisons department.
North Coast Correctional Treatment Facility in Lorain County, currently operated by MTC, will be returned to state control and merge with Grafton Correctional Institution.
