Blind Card (Never Leave Home Without It)
So many times I've heard the term "NFB philosophy" and the stories of all the people who have helped fight for the rights of blind people everywhere. But for a long time, these things didn't mean anything to me. It wasn't that I didn't care, but I thought those stories were out of date and things like discrimination against the blind were a thing of the past. Then reality pulled the rug out from under my feet.
When my friends and I were in Atlanta for the NFB National Convention, Mike Sahyun, Zach Ellingson, and I decided to go out to the Six Flags over Georgia amusement park and ride some roller coasters. We had no idea how such a simple thing could end up being so complicated. We purchased our tickets and joked and laughed as we stood in line. Upon entering the park, we were asked, "What's up with the sticks, guys?" Zach, our travel instructor at Blindness: Learning in New Dimensions (BLIND), Inc., replied, "These are our canes. We need them to get around." The guard then told us, "Okay, go ahead." We thanked him and proceeded into the park. Then, about twenty feet from the gate, another security guard approached us. He told us we needed to come back to the gate. With puzzled looks, we asked him why. He told us we could not go in the park with those "sticks." I tried to explain to him that canes are not "sticks," but before I could finish my sentence, he yelled and told us he had a job to do. Without a word, we followed him to the gate.
At the time I was thinking, "This has to be a joke. There is no way this can really be happening." It felt like a dream. When we got back to the gate, we were told we would have to leave our canes there. The dream was turning into a nightmare. Once again, we tried to explain that we use our canes as tools of navigation. He told us they looked like weapons. We replied once again that they were our tools of navigation, and not weapons to harm people. Over and over, we tried to explain this. They wouldn't budge. We couldn't get them to understand, but we certainly were not going to give up our canes.
When the guards finally realized that we just weren't going to give up our canes, one of the security guards came up with what he must have thought was a stroke of genius. "Where's your blind card?" "What?" I replied. "Blind card. It proves you're blind." I laughed to myself. This had to be the funniest thing I've ever heard. "There's no such thing," I told him. "Yes, there is. It's a plastic card that says you're blind," he said. I felt like saying, "I never leave home without it," but decided the humor would be lost on this gentleman. Instead, I told him what he was asking for could only be found through medical records, and I don't keep those on me. He said he keeps his medical records on him at all times and asked me if I would like to see them. Hoping he would take the hint I told him, "No, it's none of my business and you have no legal reason to show them to me."
By this time, they had about five aggravated guards around us, and the crowd of spectators was growing. Just as it seemed things couldn't get worse, they told us we would have to stay at the gates with security until a manager could come and talk to us. After all we had said; they detained us. Looking back on it now, I realize how fortunate I was to be there with Mike and Zach. We kept each other's spirits up and voices calm. After fifteen minutes, we asked if the manager was on his way. They told us he would be there in about five minutes. As we waited, we talked amongst ourselves. The crowd stared and whispered. After another twenty minutes, we asked if the manager was there yet. They told us once again, "No, he'll be here in five minutes." We started getting the feeling they were playing the waiting game with us. After about another half hour, we finally spoke to the man we were waiting for. He brought out paramedics to try to determine if we were blind. He then asked us if he could give us a sighted guide so we could leave our canes at the gate. We told him no. He then told us he didn't want us to have the canes because we might hit people's legs by accident with them, and it could start a fight. Zach then gave the gentleman his very first travel class. He instructed him and showed him how a blind person would only tap another person's ankle. After that, he made us give our solemn word that we would not use our canes as weapons. He then said that after 9/11, you could never be too careful because terrorists are everywhere. I replied, "We're not terrorists." He said, "Are you sure you want to go into the park? The road is not level, and you could fall." We then replied, "We'll be fine." I couldn't believe that after all of the waiting we had done, he was still trying to talk us out of going into the park.
By this time, our attitudes were not so upbeat, and the weather had started getting bad. We tried to make the most out of the day, but I felt so defeated. I wondered if I was wrong to oppose their views of what the blind could and could not do. While walking through the park, we were followed by security guards. Just when it seemed like our darkest hour, it started to rain. We then knew the day was shot.
After we came back to the hotel, we spoke to our fellow Federationists about what had happened. The support and understanding they gave us made me feel at home. I'll never forget how secure I felt around them. Their support reassured me that we had done the right thing in standing up for our right to keep our canes. The next day we spoke to Peggy Elliott (or as I like to call her, Peggy Give-them-hell Elliott). She went out to Six Flags and had a nice little chat with the park management, after which they seemed to see the error of their ways. The park gave us free passes and issued a letter of apology.
Looking back now though, what happened to us at Six Flags was necessary to show me the real value of public education and collective action. I once said to a friend, "Why should I have to waste my time educating others?" and now I know why. The hour I spent at Six Flags being interrogated was worth more to me than a full day of rides. I learned that discrimination is real and really does happen, but when it does I don't have to deal with it alone. I have all kinds of friends in the National Federation of the Blind who have my back, just like I've got theirs. I also realized that there have been a lot of blind people who have stood up to discrimination over the years and because of them, the way is now easier for me. I hope that because of our actions, someone else won't have to deal with the same situation-if that happens, I will have given back some of what has been given to me. So there are a lot of people I would like to thank. Mike Sahyun, Zach Ellingson, Dick Davis, Peggy Elliott, Shawn Mayo, Joyce Scanlan, President Maurerr, all the people in Public Relations in the Federation, and all my brothers and sisters in the NFB. Without you, the philosophy of the NFB would not stand strong. Thank you all for standing by us.

Cook, Griffin Game Time Decision; Harvin PracticesPosted by on September 17, 2010 – 1:08 pm
The Vikings and Dolphins have issued their Friday injury reports in advance of Sunday's game at Mall of America Field and there is good news to report. After missing practice on Thursday, WR Percy Harvin (hip) was back at practice and participated on a limited basis; he is listed as questionable for Sunday's game.
DT Jimmy Kennedy (knee) and CBs Chris Cook (knee) and Cedric Griffin (knee) are also listed as questionable. Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress said Cook and Griffin would likely be game-time decisions. QB Brett Favre (ankle/back), RB Toby Gerhart (knee), T Bryant McKinnie (finger) and C John Sullivan (calf) are listed as probable.
For the Dolphins, LB Channing Crowder (groin) and DE Jared Odrick (ankle) have been ruled out and DE Ikaika Alama-Francis is listed as questionable.

Everyone needs to relax, do not forget that the packers have to play against the afc east and nfc east as well. With that logic I find it hard to believe the packers will win 13 games this season. It will be a tough fight for the division again this year and even if the vikings do not get homefield advantage they are able to win on the road.

If Harvin can't go, does that take us down to 3 recievers? That is if you count Berian.
By Chi Town Viking on Sep 18, 2010 | Reply
We are not as bad off as led on by previous comments, although Rick is right. Berian needs to go away. Trade for any one that can catch a ball to any team willing to take him! My 8 year old daughter has better hands than BB. There's an easy solution to our passing game. Chilly needs to call more pass plays to Percy, Both Gregs(Cam and Lewis), Payne, and Shank if they and Brett are to ever have any rhythm this season. Before we do get in a big hole. Our O-line has been mediocre for the end of last season and everything we have seen thus far this year. This needs to be addressed for the sake of both pass and run game to improve. Don't get me wrong… I don't want to abandon the run! On the contrary, I would like to see our 1st round pick get some action with AP. Young is also a good complete running back that needs to be used as Chester was. To the outside and screens. Also in the passing game out of the slot, back field, and why not pull a Flip wildcat? Put Cam and Lewis on one side, AP and young on the other, and Percy in the back field. Tell me that wouldn't be a defensive night mare for any team in the NFL to try and defend? esp. since no one has ever tried it! No one ever could with their rosters, we easily could with our current roster. Just thinking out side the box! Really though, we simply need to use all of our resources. Not just run AP in the ground and throw to Shank every down until they are both hurt and useless for the rest of the year.

Hey oldschool, exactly what kind of protein are you drinking in the morning? The Vikes will be fine until we get our injured comrad's back. In the end we will make our run and either we have homefield advantage or we won't. It doesn't matter because we still have a stout D-line and our receivers are better than 90% of the teams out there. Settle down it's only week 2 and we will get our division title. Then it's off to the big game in dallas. Go Vikings!!! Take it one game at a time.

1 receiver has 1 bad game and makes 1 mistake in the early portion of the season and everyone wants his head on a stick. Jeeze uh, Favre threw an interception, why isn't his head on a stick?
AP, yeah, didnt rush for 200 + yards, Chilly is clearly a bad coach for it too, lets let them both go and rehire Mike Tice.
Berrian had a down year last year, sure, but remember BB is 08? He was our top dog. He's still got the talent. If its week 4 and he's still choking, then I can see some flames. But from 1 week? My god… if your all going to Monday morning QB and coach, AT LEAST BE REASONABLE ABOUT IT.

Pick up Vincent Jackson. Take care of Sidney Rice when he comes back with a long term contract. Then cut Bernard Berian, NFL contracts are not guaranteed, so you pay him for the part of the season he plays and use the savings to give Sid the Kid his deal.

A general comment…….. what is the purpose of holding any press conferences when we the "distant" fans cannot hear any of the questions? My suggestion is that the Viking ownership stop at Best Buy and pick up a couple of el-cheapo mic's and pass them around during the conferences. If they can't afford that then just don't include the press conferences on the Viking web site. When I get a phone call and can't hear the other party I call it a dropped call and hang up………..seems rather obvious to me!!! Are you looking for a new Media person…………..what's the salary?

Childress has a problem flowing this offense it has always been that way I hope our next coach is a veteran offensive coordinator. Every time the vikings play there's either too many penalties or the offense gets in a rhythm then suddenly it stalls. Chilly needs to manage the game better that's why nfl calls chilly one of the worst game managers in the nfl along with andy reid. Enough of the negativity if favre wasn't the qb for this team the vikings offense would be beyond dreadful just watch when favre retires. He doesn't have the heart and desire to put opponents out and attack. All I have to say is if we don't make it to the playoffs and advance far get chilly out of here, bevell also needs to go. This team lacks nasty attitude and swag.

Our second team D was putting up first team play in the pre-season, so I think we will weather injuries there pretty well this year.

ok everyone needs to stop posting negative comments and listen. first off, opposing fans get out of our site for real, go post on your own. vikes fans we are classy and dont do that but to my real point. why is everyone hating on coach childress?? dont forget, since he came here we picked uop allen, berrian, harvin, AP, etc.. notonly that but he has improved his wins by 2 each season. ok i understand the play calling may not be right sometimes but come on guys were all vikes fans. if we dont have chilly who do we have? honestly we are fine vikings fans! everyone knows how good our team is, but if US, the fans dont rally behind the team and have faith, we will go nowhere, anf be playing in green bay for the nfc championship. vikes fans quit with the negative comments! all its gonna do is hurt our team, so stay strong with me my fellow fans and stay positive for the siper bowl team we really have!

I'm not a real Viking Fan because I speak the TRUTH……………..GREAT COME BACK "the horned norseman"……"OldSchool isn't a Vikes Fan"!
Over the last couple of years I have posted hundreds of comments and the comments made alot of football sense! I have been a Vikings fan for over 30 years IDIOT! Now, if you can't handle that this season has S$%^ written all over it because of injuries, players we failed to re-sign(Chester), lack of pick ups in free- agency(Secondary help), the thought that may be Brett should have stayed in Mississippi(Because he looks tired and not into it)….
Then you my friend are not a REAL FAN!
1.) Because you don't know S$%^ about football in general.
2.) You don't know S$%^ about your own team that you such a fan of!

I told you all week that we had a good chance of beating you at the dome. I even predicted a four point win. I thought you could put up at least 17 points, but we only needed to score 14. So where is purplenurple, moorevikings, David…you must acknowledge my greatness. You are two games behind the Packers and Bears and the fins will be in first. It will fun to see what you will whine about this week. Were the refs bought off, the fans were not loud enough (oh right, you were at home, where you never lose), or it's not Bretts fault. You are losers and will always be losers. How is that Favre thing working out for, and I saw on TV, we still have better looking cheerleaders. Go Fins!

1.) What did you say back in that last PM?
2.) Why was the phrase "watashi wa" in there, and isn't he a moderator?
1. I am the Mudkip Man.
2. As hinted above, watashi wa means "I am". Where else do you think moderators get their names, other than the Japanese language?
: Ah... but still, watashi wa.
: Are you telling me that Binkmeister is Japanese for something?

I have started on the conversion of the Shackled Hut. Looks promising and will take characters between mid 5th Level to 10th level at its end.
As I am only copying the necessary game elements that should be used in the 4th Edition game, I have taken away all the great context, information, and stories which creates the magic of the Paizo product.
I therefore strongly advise you to purchase the Paizo products this conversion have been built upon, to run the Reign of Winter campaign. I did!

Elaine Eclavea from Agana Heights Guam, US
stayed in January, 2013
Guest Score 7.0 out of 10
Hafa Adai-- the staff were very welcoming from the reservation clerk, front desk, security, and most especially the poolside staff were wonderful. Thank you!!
We stayed on the 7th floor (rooms 728 and 729) so when other guest opened their doors it closed/ shut with a loud (very loud slam).. therefore we had a difficult time sleeping. I called and shared my concern at midnight to the front desk.. So how do fix this issue...what needs to happen.. please have your maintenance workers reset the doors of the room.. I would suggest the guest manager try going up to a room at night and have someone close there room doors from other rooms on that floor and it is extremely loud and annoying. -- other than the lack of sleep.. our experience was great but could be much much better if the doors from the guest rooms were much quieter. Thank you

The photography is sweepingly gorgeous--this must be the best of all possible planets. [18 Apr 2011, p.46]
Human Planet can't match the sweeping grandeur of the nature documentaries that preceded it under the same auspices, "Planet Earth" and "Life." But to paraphrase what a kindly farmer once said to his sheepherding pig, It'll do.
Sure, it all makes for pretty filmmaking, but isn't not having to risk your life for a simple meal one of the benefits of civilization? There's something unsettling about glorifying subsistence living for the sake of our high-definition televisions.

Mar 20, 2013The photography is simply beautiful: absorbing, stunning, and often times strikingly gruesome. The behind the scenes bit at the end of every episode also helps you appreciate how difficult to obtain a lot of the footage was. The only letdown is the final episode. As a standalone episode it is solid, but feels out of place alongside the more memorable and enlightening ones before it. 9.6/10… Expand
Apr 16, 2011The BBC Natural History Unit never fails to impress. Photography is top notch and makes you frequently appreciate how difficult it must have been to get the footage. The narration flows beautifully in terms of both scripting and voicework by John Hurt. While Human Planet may be more off putting to some due to its depictions of hunting and harsh life circumstances (harsh, here meaning difficult and occasionally gruesome), it excels at showing the grace, ferocity and inventiveness with which humans have approached the need to survive in different environments around the world. If you are a big fan of BBC Nature Docs then nothing should stop you from checking this one out. If you are on the fence and thus reading User Reviews on Metacritic, l strongly recommend you watch the series because you will undoubtedly see things that you will never forget. Guaranteed.… Expand
Apr 22, 2011Another great documentary! The tone of the show is also quite upbeat, focusing more heavily on human achievement and ingenuity than on our collective record of destruction.
My only critique is that much of the show is seen through the eyes of a few individuals and, while I'm sure they were hoping this would make the programme more relate able overall, I found it gave it an overly provincial. It seemed particularly noticeable with the dialogue which was impossible to believe hadn't been scripted entirely by the production crew.
All in all though very enjoyable and, perhaps more importantly, educational.… Expand
Nov 26, 2011During each of the eight episodes of this sweeping documentary I found myself staring at the screen, mouth agape. There are moments in each of the realms that will take your breath away. Tells stories of life at the fringes of our planet's livability with grace and beauty. I'll admit that I love documentaries in general, but this is a supremely watchable series for fans of all genres. Learn about your world. Well done.… Collapse
May 13, 2011Where are the women? I just watched the jungle/mountains/grasslands video, and noticed that all of the stories focus on men, with the exception of one story, which shows an old, blind woman who is saved by a visiting doctor. I was very disappointed to discover that even in the year 2011, male filmmakers continue to focus on the "heroics" of other men while ignoring or failing to explore the heroic contributions of women everywhere in this world. I'm surprised that nobody else has noticed this. Most of us have spent our entire lives learning about the contributions of men, while hearing or reading very little about women. Why can't the Human Planet series break through the old and predictable male perspective and produce work that encompasses everybody?… Expand

Statistical Physics of Citations
SciTech Connect
This talk will begin with basic empirical facts about the network of scientific citations, based on the entire corpus of Physical Review publications from the past 110 years. Intriguingly, the evolution of citations appears to be described by linear preferential attachment. A master equation approach will be developed to characterize this popularity-driven network. One basic attribute is the citation distribution of the network, namely, the probability that a publication has a given number of citations. The conditions that give rise to exponential, power-law, or more singular citation distributions will be elucidated. Comparison between the theory and the citation data of Physical Review will be made. Finally, the Google page-rank algorithm will be used to uncover hidden gems within Physical Review publications.

Awards and Citations Awards and Citations Art Rosenfeld, director of the Center for Building Science, has received the Department of Energy's 1993 Sadi Carnot Award for lifetime achievement in the field of energy conservation and renewable energy. During a 20-year career in the energy-efficiency field, he has contributed to both major analytical advances in energy analysis and practical programs designed to improve efficiency. He also helped develop the concepts of least-cost energy services and conservation supply curves, the two most widely used tools for least-cost utility planning. In 1975, Rosenfeld began a campaign to simulate building energy use more accurately; this effort evolved into the DOE-2 whole-building simulation program, now the international standard for simulating building energy use.

Citation Environment of Angewandte Chemie
Recently, aggregated journal-journal citation networks were made accessible from the perspective of each journal included in the Science Citation Index see (http://www.leydesdorff.net/). The local matrices can be used to inspect the relevant citation environment of a journal using statistical analysis and visualization techniques from social network analysis. The inspection gives an answer to the question what the local impact of this and other journals in the environment is. In this study the citation environment of Angewandte Chemie was analysed. Angewandte Chemie is one of the prime chemistry journals in the world. Its environment was compared with that of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The results of the environment analyses give a detailed insight into the field-embeddedness of Angewandte Chemie. The impacts of the German and international editions of this journal are compared.

(For more information, see ISI's in-cites website). The analysis below was conducted in August of 2004 and will be updated periodically. First, we searched the ISI database for recent technical articles (from January 2002 on) containing key words associated with solid-state lighting. Second, we made a scatter plot of the number of citations* to these articles as a function of publication date. On that plot, we draw a curve

Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update (EIA)
Since many of you are probably interested in heating fuels for the winter, Since many of you are probably interested in heating fuels for the winter, EIA has also designed specific or special web pages highlighting certain fuels. We find during certain times of the year, users look for certain energy information. For example, last year when heating prices spiked during Jan and Feb, we designed a page to highlight information on propane and heating oil. We also have a gasoline and diesel page because these fuels are important during the driving season. The page has information about stocks, production, imports and prices. We've provided links to various agencies/organizations and sites which may be relevant to getting tracking other information during the heating season such as SPR, LIHEAP, or associations such as API, PMAA, or the

11 top Windows 8 apps for work and play
Summary: Windows 8.1 has rolled out, and the operating system is better than ever. Apps make any platform shine and while there aren't as many Windows 8 apps as there are on other platforms there are some pretty good ones.
12 of 13Image
Windows Mail in Windows 8.1
The Mail app shipped with original Windows 8.0 was particularly bad, especially for Gmail users. That's all changed with Windows 8.1, as it includes a nicely updated Mail app.
The user interface and functionality of the app is good for all Windows 8.1 users, and the Gmail experience is vastly improved, too. It's not as full-featured as a dedicated Gmail app would be, but it's possible to do almost anything that can be done on a dedicated Gmail app.
Included in Windows 8.1
There are a few apps for working with Twitter in the app store, but they all fall short in one area or another. The official app from Twitter has recently been updated making it a solid performer for using the social network.
Using the Twitter app is nice on a Windows tablet, as the entire interface has been optimized for touch. There are occasional lags in operation but nothing overly aggravating. Everything that can be done on the Twitter web interface can be done in this app.
Free on the Microsoft Store
Snap view in Windows 8.1
The ability to work with two apps at once, aka snap view, has been greatly improved in Windows 8.1. The author's favorite use of snap view is demonstrated in the image above.
The Twitter app is put in the pane on the left and the IE web browser on the right. This allows surfing the web while keeping an eye on updates to Twitter. This also has a benefit when links are tapped in tweets on the left. The linked web site is opened in the browser pane on the right, making it possible to view the linked material while keeping Twitter open.
Another good use of snap view is keeping the Mail app open in one pane while doing something else in the pane on the other side. It's a good way to keep on top of work email.

UPDATED Thursday, July 17, 2014 --- 5:04 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- John Burke, the president of Trek Bicycle Corp. and the brother of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke, says Republican Gov. Scott Walker's latest campaign ad is false and should be taken down.
John Burke told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday that Walker should be embarrassed by the ad that infers Mary Burke made decisions while at Trek about locating jobs overseas.
John Burke says he made all those decisions and his sister did not. He also says the ad implies Trek employs children overseas and that is also false.
Walker campaign spokeswoman Alleigh Marre says, "There is no disputing the fact that Mary Burke made millions of dollars off of shipping Wisconsin jobs overseas."
John Burke spoke to the AP from France.

Posted Wednesday, July 16, 2014 --- 9:58 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker's latest campaign ad attacks Democrat Mary Burke over Trek Bicycle Corp. outsourcing jobs to China.
Walker released the ad statewide Wednesday. Burke is a former executive at Trek, a company started in the 1970s by her father in Waterloo.
Burke has said that she wasn't involved with decisions to ship Trek jobs overseas.
Walker's ad comes on the heels of news that Walker's top economic development agency approved millions of dollars in tax breaks to companies in Wisconsin that relocated jobs overseas.
Burke's campaign spokesman Joe Zepecki says Walker should be ashamed of himself for "attacking a great Wisconsin company" in light of the news that his jobs agency gave those tax breaks.
Walker spokesman Tom Evenson says voters can't trust Burke to create Wisconsin jobs.
