Sometimes with a release, gig or event, there are reviews that stand out, where the person has delved a little deeper than the first impression or copied the press release.

Extensive Mental Health Information on Specific Topics
Jim Phelps, M.D. Corvallis, OR to home page
About PsychEducation.org
The illnesses I treat don't interfere with people's ability to understand their own problem. Many of my patients want to know all that I can teach them -- and more.
My local primary care colleagues are a fantastic group of doctors. Many of them have become very interested in the mood and anxiety disorders I treat, and call up asking for help or information.
Finally I thought: "hey, if I just wrote a lot of this stuff down and posted it on a website, my patients and my primary care colleagues could just go look anytime they wanted; and I can put up new information as soon as it becomes available!"
So my hospital website folks helped me get a site launched (Thanks, Julie and Heather), and now it has grown to include all sorts of different essays, diagrams, and links I wanted my patients or my colleagues to have.
My long-term goal is to provide quality education on topics where information on the Internet is scattered or non-existent, as it was in the case of "bipolar II". Welcome. I hope you find something useful.

Dereck Chisora and Tyson Fury are to meet in a final world title eliminator on July 26, promoter Frank Warren has announced on Twitter.
The British rivals will clash at the Phones 4U Arena in Manchester in a rematch of their fight three years ago when an out of shape Chisora dropped a wide points decision to Fury.
The winner will go on to challenge reigning IBF, WBA and WBO champion Wladimir Klitschko, according to Warren.
Chisora has vowed to avenge his 2011 defeat to Fury at Wembley Stadium when they collide for a second time in an eagerly-awaited domestic heavyweight showdown.
"I'm excited. I'm looking forward to this fight," Chisora told talkSPORT.
"Tyson has got one over me and he thinks he's the greatest fighter in Great Britain, but he's not.
"He hasn't fought any proper fighters, he's only been fighting cab drivers."
Fury responded to Chisora's taunt by branding his rival a "journeyman".
"Chisora could be one of those cab drivers because I've already beaten him once," Fury said.
"We're the best heavyweights in Britain and it will prove who should take on Klitschko.
"Chisora is nothing more than a glorified journeyman. I'm going to show you how much of a bum he is on July 26."

Makes 6 servings
active time
25 min
total time
35 min
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 2 (1 1/4-inch-thick) porterhouse steaks (4 pounds total)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup undrained horseradish (from a new jar)
- 4 scallions, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
- Special equipment: an instant-read thermometer
Prepare grill for cooking over direct heat with medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).
While coals are lighting, let steaks stand at room temperature about 15 minutes. Stir together sour cream, horseradish, scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl.
Pat steaks dry and sprinkle all over with remaining teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Grill steaks on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning steaks over once and moving them around grill to avoid flare-ups if necessary, until thermometer inserted horizontally 2 inches into meat (do not touch bone) registers about 120°F for rare, 9 to 12 minutes total. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes before slicing. (Internal temperature will rise to 125 to 128°F while steaks stand.) Thinly slice meat and serve with sauce.
Cooks' note: If you aren't able to grill outdoors, steaks can be seared in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, turning over once, until grill marks form, 4 to 6 minutes total. Reduce heat to moderately low, then cover with 2 large overturned metal bowls and cook, turning over once, about 12 minutes total.

LONG BEACH – Two visitors entered a Long Beach rehab center on Wednesday looking for a man in a wheelchair.
They carried a small gift for him: stamps.
But these were not just any stamps. And this was not just any man.
The visitors waited in a room that slowly filled with people. And, finally, when the man rolled in, everyone stood and cheered. Some saluted. Some cried.
Because the man was Walter Ehlers – one of just eight Medal of Honor recipients surviving from World War II.
And the folio cover of the new postage stamps features a photo of Ehlers.
Ehlers, 92, of Buena Park, couldn't make it to Washington, D.C., on Monday for the national unveiling of the 46-cent Medal of Honor forever stamp. And he couldn't make it to Costa Mesa for a local unveiling of the stamp.
So on Wednesday postal officials came looking for him in the rehab center at the Long Beach Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Ehlers has spent much of the last year-and-a-half there, recovering from three falls that broke his left hip, then his left femur and then his left femur again. Two weeks ago, doctors said he may never walk again.
But he shouldn't be counted out; Ehlers has done the improbable before.
On June 6, 1944, D-Day, the 23-year-old staff sergeant led a squad of 12 soldiers across Omaha Beach and up a steep embankment to become some of the first Americans to reach German gun emplacements there. Over the next few days, his squad led the U.S. expeditionary force across the famed hedgerows of Nazi-occupied France.
It was among those hedgerows that Ehlers took out two German machine gun nests; that he led a bayonet charge against 12 Germans manning mortars; and where he was wounded while laying down fire to protect his men – a group of military musicians with no battle experience. While wounded, Ehlers crawled through a circle of enemy fire to carry a wounded comrade to safety, then returned to retrieve the squad's Browning automatic rife.
For those actions, he received our nation's highest military honor, the Medal of Honor.
"People always ask me if I was afraid of dying. I say, `No. I was fighting to live."
Ehlers fought in eight major campaigns during World War II and was awarded three Purple Hearts.

Brands and brand strategies can be viewed as conceptual frameworks that demand consistency of execution. It follows then that brands promote continuity. Competition disrupts continuity. So if you are not acting disruptively, odds are that a disruption will be visited upon you by someone you might not have even realized was a competitor.
The point is that you must do everything possible to be disruptive. Strategically disruptive. Disruptive at the product or service level. Disruptive at the marketing communication level. If you want my attention, you need to disrupt whatever else is holding my attention. If you want my business, you need to disrupt whatever is causing me to do business with someone else.
Remember, attention has become the most precious commodity in the marketplace. Also recall how difficult it is to create real change.
There's a problem with staying in the center of the strategic "box." This kind of behavior gets an A+ for consistency but a D- for attention-getting. Tactically, your job as a marketer is to bang the hell out of the walls of that box, all while still staying inside. In other words, get creative. Make noise. Promote change. Always keep moving. Always keep building. Always stay "in-strategy." But first and foremost, always make noise.
Generally, the only way to ensure a discontinuity is to create it yourself. Whatever that discontinuity is, it must work to your advantage, and therefore must play into your brand strategy.
Napster disrupted the music market, but in a way that could never make money. Apple disrupted the music market in a way that did make money- generally a better approach.
Yahoo! disrupted the way we find information, but then acted as if it had no idea what it had done. Google knew.
In fact, when you look at the big four- Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook- they are in the process of disrupting about a hundred different markets. You may not think  you compete with these guys, but the odds are that sooner or later you will. Don't wast energy figuring out if this is true or not, just figure out the how of the disruption- then beat them to it and make it work to your advantage.
Amazon sold books, but created a disruption through the Kindle. In some ways the company even attacked its own business in order to build that business. If Amazon hadn't developed Kindle, the book business would've been disrupted by- you guessed it- Apple. This disruption would have been terrific- as long as you work in Cupertino and not Seattle.
Today, Google owns the idea of search. Now it's up to some aggressive new player to create a new discontinuity, one that works to the advantage of its brand strategy. Search is now ubiquitous- it is indeed the Internet's killer app- but therein lies both Google's opportunity and its vulnerability. Search has begun to splinter into several specialized segments. Who will own music search? Who will own television search? Who will own local search?
If strong specialists don't disrupt the flow, Google will own all of the segments because it now has continuity working for it. Bing proved to be insufficiently disruptive, attacking Google head-on instead of doing something different- something truly disruptive.
Unless someone creates a true disruption, Google will continue to control the agenda. But the reality is that the brand most likely to disrupt the search market in some way is Google itself. Why? Because Google is really good at it. Disruption is hardwired into its DNA.

Associated Press
BEIRUT (AP) -- Hezbollah was pulled more deeply into Syria's civil war as 28 guerrillas from the Lebanese Shiite militant group were killed and dozens more wounded while fighting rebels, Syria activists said Monday.
The intense battle drove rebels from large parts of the town of Qusair, part of a withering government offensive aimed at securing a strategic land corridor from Damascus to the Mediterranean coast.
Hezbollah-affiliated hospitals in Lebanon urged blood donations through mosque loudspeakers and ambulances raced along the Damascus road in a stark indication of the group's increasingly prominent role in Syria.
The overt Hezbollah involvement -- several funerals for group members were held Monday in Lebanon -- edges the war further into a regional sectarian conflict pitting the Middle East's Iranian-backed Shiite axis against Sunnis.
It also raised tensions considerably in Lebanon, where Hezbollah has come under harsh criticism for its involvement in the civil war next door.
A staunch ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, Hezbollah is heavily invested in the survival of the Damascus regime and is known to have sent fighters to aid government forces. The Iranian-backed group's growing role in the conflict also points to the deeply sectarian nature of the war in Syria, in which a rebellion driven by the country's Sunni majority seeks to overthrow a regime dominated by Assad's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
Clashes continued for the second day in the northern city of Tripoli, Lebanon, where Sunnis and Alawites battled in a direct spillover from the fighting in Qusair.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks Syria's civil war, said that more than 70 Hezbollah fighters have also been wounded in the fighting around Qusair.
The White House said President Barack Obama telephoned Lebanon's president and expressed concern about Hezbollah's "active and growing role in Syria, fighting on behalf of the Assad regime, which is counter to the Lebanese government's policies."
More than 70,000 people have been killed and several million displaced since the uprising against Assad erupted in March 2011 and escalated into a civil war. The Syrian government and Hezbollah deny there is an uprising in Syria, portraying the war as a foreign-backed conspiracy driven by Israel, the U.S. and its gulf Arab allies.
In addition to the Hezbollah involvement, Iraqi Shiite fighters have for months trickled into Syria. Their relatives say they are drawn by a sense of religious duty to protect Shiite Muslim shrines in Syria.
Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said in a recent speech that his fighters had a duty to protect the shrines. He also claims that supporters of the group were fighting in Shiite villages near the Lebanon border against the rebels, saying it was in self-defense.
The Observatory, which relies on a network of activists inside Syria, cited unidentified "sources close to the militant group" for its Hezbollah death toll Monday. It said at least 50 Syrian rebels also were killed in the battle for Qusair on Sunday.
Qusair has been the target of a Syrian government offensive in recent weeks, and the surrounding countryside has been engulfed in fighting as regime troops backed by Hezbollah fighters seized villages while closing in on Qusair itself.
The intensity of the fighting reflects the importance that both sides attach to the area. In the regime's calculations, Qusair is strategically located between Damascus and the Alawite heartland near the Mediterranean. For the rebels, overwhelmingly Sunni Qusair has served as a conduit for shipments of weapons and supplies smuggled from Lebanon to opposition fighters inside Syria.
A Lebanese official close to Hezbollah told The Associated Press that the death toll figures were "exaggerated." He added, however, that 14 Hezbollah members from southern Lebanon were killed in the fighting Sunday, adding that some of the fighters' bodies were still in Syria. He spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals from Hezbollah, which maintains a shroud of secrecy on its security operations.
Evidence of the group's heavy involvement in Syria was on full display Monday.
In the town of Nabi Sheet in eastern Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, a Hezbollah stronghold, about 2,000 people attended the funeral of Hassan Shukur, an 18-year-old Hezbollah fighter.
Hezbollah comrades fired in the air in mourning and played the group's funeral march as they carried Shukur's coffin draped in a yellow Hezbollah flag through the streets at his funeral attended by senior members of the group.
"We will fight in all of Syria because we are fighting the Israeli enemy," said Sheik Mohammed Yazbeck, a member of Hezbollah's highest decision-making body, the Shura Council.

Dynamic Learning Maps Alternate Assessment (DLM-AA)
The Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) project is guided by the core belief that all students should have access to challenging grade-level content. The new DLM alternate assessment system will let students with significant cognitive disabilities show what they know in ways that traditional multiple-choice tests cannot.
The DLM system is designed to map a student's learning throughout the year. The system will use items and tasks that are embedded in day-to-day instruction that are aligned to the common core standards. In this way, testing happens as part of instruction, which both informs teaching and benefits students. An end of the year assessment will be created for states that want to include a summative test in addition to the instructionally embedded system.
For more information, please visit the Illinois DLM website at http://dynamiclearningmaps.org/illinois.
Announcements (10/24/14)
Dynamic Learning Maps Alternate Assessment (DLM-AA) Testing Window for 2014-15 School YearBeginning in 2014-15, the DLM-AA will replace the Illinois Alternate Assessment (IAA). The DLM-AA is an adaptive computer-based assessment for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. The assessment is aligned to the Common Core Essential Elements in English language arts and mathematics. The testing window for the 2014-15 DLM-AA is from March 23 – May 1. This six-week window allows district and school flexibility to create their own testing schedule within the test window based on their technology capabilities and school calendars.

Korea Fines Firms for Fixing PP and HDPE Prices
1:08 PM MDT | August 6, 2007 | Chemical Week Editorial Staff
Korea's Fair Trade Commission (FTC; Seoul) has fined nine Korean companies a combined won105.1 billion ($112 million) for conspiring to fix prices of polypropylene (PP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) between 1994 and 2005. The companies include Daelim Industrial, Hyosung, Korea Petrochemical Industry Co. (KPIC), LG Chem, and SK Corp. Honam Petrochemical participated in the price-fixing cartel but was not fined because it helped FTC with its investigation, FTC says. SK received the biggest fine (won23.8 billion) followed by KPIC (won21.2 billion) and...

I've been working on some illustrations for Drunken Werewolf to go with an article about The Jealous Girlfriends, a rather good band, but have two options and a hatred for decision making. They need some photoshopping before being sent off obviously.
The cartoon-y version?
Or the slightly less cartoon-y version?

My tanking UI, same with my warrior.
Grid(+clique with my shaman)

I'm not a huge fan of messing around with the wow interface but I think I've fallen in love with Cinderhelm's scrolling combat text. Feel free to call me a nub but I can't find it. Anyone know the name of it?
The Gift of War - a fun-loving guild on WoW's Undermine server
I like simple interfaces. Only thing you don't see here that I have is the TitanPanel which I added about an hour after finishing up 10 Man Maly you see there.
Quick List: X-Perl, Bartender 4, Grid, Omen, DeadlyBossMods, ItemRack, AtlasLoot, Parrot, and Quartz
my UI
my UI lightly explained...
this is how i taught my guild about setting up ui's
I can see that several of you guys have a black bar at the bottom of the screen, where you then have placed some of your addons. How do you do that?
My priesty's UI.
Scrolling combat text isn't a mod, it's actually on one of the interface tabs, "combat" I think.
Yes, they have a function for scrolling battle text, but I like mods better. Especially Mik's.
Is Bartender supposed to be better then Dominos?
And yes SCT mods are amazing. It helps a great deal as a tank because it makes you more aware of the sort of damage your taking and if you should be avoiding it or not, a lot easier to spot Whirlwinds on the damn Dark Touched Warriors when your Melee, after I get hit by one WW I strafe away and intercept back in.
Also as a healer it makes you aware of your buffs and gains while your in unit frame tunnel vision mode.
my mages UI
I've spent alot of time over the past few days trying out different mods and tinkering with many many many settings. I decided to try out a setup for my shaman before I perfected it and tailored it to the almighty warrior tank. So... here it is, wanted to share it.
This is my UI. I have X-Perl, Bartender4, SexyMap, Recount, Ora2, DBM, MDHelper and Omen3
This is my UI.
I you wondering about my weird bar setup, the reason behind it is I use Microsoft Strategic Commander keypad.
It has 6 buttons + 3 shift buttons and all movement is under the same hand. Using Dominos I mapped abilities to 4 sets of keys exactly as they are on the keypad. If I want to use demoshout, I press button 5 + 2nd shift.
I have always had gaming keyboards but they are nowhere near.This is the essence of ergonomy. It is leathal once you get used to it.
I have everything I need without moving fingers!
Small shield wall and last stand are mapped to + - zoom keys on it as well, middle small spell interupt is mapped to thumb button on a mouse.
For Sward and Board's and Slam's proc (while fury) I use just sound notification. I am planning po put more sound notifications to other things.
I am waiting for better choice of 100Hz+ monitors to get Nvidia 3d glasses, then it will have more space to make things tidy.
What do you guys think of it?

i toggled test mode on, dragged in position, locked... it kept stuck in test mode... relog, it resetted... got it right once, but my health wouldn't refresh, and it wouldn't show my energy at all... is there a tut of it or something -.- could really use it.
I just downloaded IceHUD and honestly I can't believe I've played this game for so long without it.
I was so jazzed about the new addition to my UI that I snapped some quick screens in Sholozar. I'll post more when I'm in a raid... but you'll get the idea.
My UI is always ever changing, I'm always looking for ways to clean it up and make it look better. Here's what I'm currently rolling.

Your View: Do you want to live in a police state?
Because of the Boston bombings, the mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, says that our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution have to change. I disagree. Many people think that more surveillance cameras, and police spying, are needed.
You could drastically reduce crime by putting surveillance cameras in every vehicle, home, business, church, and on every street corner. Would you want to live in such a police state? Not me. If we give up our rights, then the terrorists, and "Big Brother'' win.
I agree with the quote by Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty or security."
High Point has promising attributes
With great anticipation, I look forward to the City Project charrettes with Andres Duany . DPZ, Duany's architectural and city planning firm, is world renowned for its urban style plans.
After living in 20-odd cities all across the U.S., my late wife and I chose to remain in High Point after my retirement from the furniture industry. None of the cities in which we previously lived had the unique potential that I see in High Point.
Some of the attributes that set this city apart include its beautiful geographical location and climate, the High Point Market, High Point University, our hospital's growth and stature, and especially the admirable way that our community responds to meet its challenges. Our United Way is consistently one of the better performing across the country, with more than six times the average Alexis de Tocqueville donors for a community of our size.
Cities with the most promising environments are cities which have their community leaders dedicated to improving the local economic and social climates. I am convinced that if the general populace of High Point gets behind our leaders and enthusiastically supports this effort, it will be highly successful and thus beneficial to the entire community.

/////////////////////////// THIS IS FULL LENGHT VERSION /////////////////////////// HOMO@LV, 2010 Documentary, 640x360, 16:9, stereo Language: Latvian, Russian, English Subtitles: English Directed and written by: Kaspars Goba Script advisors: Jochen Hick, Rosa von Praunheim, David Wingate Cinematography: Kaspars Goba, Margeris Eglitis, Inese Apse, Elga Dudareva, Lelde Goba Editors: Gatis Belogrudovs, Visvaldis Zarakovskis Producer: Ieva Ubele Production company: ELM MEDIA In the summer of 2005, two guys came up with an idea to organise an unprecedented event - a festive lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people's parade through the streets of Riga, the capital of Latvia. Following the example of similar LGBT parades in Western cities, they decided to call it Pride. Little did they know that their good intention would spiral into a chain of inconceivable events lasting several years: great emotions would be stirred up and dramatically split Latvian society; the people involved would be showered, in turn, with human excrement and holy water, families would be torn apart, jobs lost, and a priest expelled from the church for free thinking. They could not have imagined that crowds of Western reinforcements would flock to support both sides or that Jesus, the devil, patriotism and human rights would all be used in the rhetoric surrounding the topic, and the press would eagerly report it all. In the end, could it be that the victims of this hostility were all those involved, because for someone, somewhere it was beneficial to set us against one another? Kaspars Goba worked on this film for five years. The extensive footage collected over the years enables the spectator to get an extraordinarily deep insight into the opinions and life stories of the individuals on both the Pride and NoPride fronts. The astonishing unearthing of Pride in Riga as shown in Kaspars Goba's work, starting from its inception in 2005 through to the announcement of Pride not being held in Riga in 2010, enables the viewer to consider these events from a different perspective. It makes one contemplate the role politicians play in manipulating people's ideals, and ask: what is the price of democracy in Latvia?

Great Value

Received this Ring in the gold plate finish. Overall I am very pleased, the only negative issue is that the gold plate is a little off colored. I will still keep this ring.

A Beauty !!!
Par ivy
de Ontario
Purchased this ring in the rhodium finish. Upon arrival, I was surprized how beautiful this ring is. The design is more comfortable than I thought considering the wide band. The diamonds sparkle making this ring look more expensive than what I paid!! Am happy with this purchase. I do have to say that im not liking the new return policy. Paying for return shipping PLUS a restocking fee makes me more hesitant with future purchases. But glad this one worked out for me.
Big & Bold.... LOVELY!
Par Patricia
de Toronto
This ring makes a statement; big, bold and beautiful. I purchased it in goldtone. To my surprise the diamonds, for being so small actually had very nice sparkle to it. However, the goldtone does look a little fake, and that does worry me. Since it was a little expensive at the original price, it would be terrible if it tarnished quickly. I did get it at the sale price, so I'm taking a chance. I hope this ring and TSC does not let me down.
Very pretty ring BUT...
Par Jo
de MILTON
I did order this ring in both the rose gold and the yellow gold. Unfortunately the rose gold was already tarnished when it arrived. The gold tone finish was borderline fake looking. I know that it is only plating over silver BUT my fear is that it would also tarnish. The diamonds, as small as they were, sparkled and seemed to be very clear. The ring was extremely comfortable. It had a low profile on the finger but was a huge presence on my hand and felt to be very well constructed for the amount of detail with all of the layers. I did return all three rings that I ordered only because of the finishing of the gold. I would be very interested to pay the price for this ring in real 10 or 14 carat gold.
En résumé
Non, je ne recommanderais pas ceci à un ami
Par Paula
de Nova Scotia
I bought this ring in the rhodium plate and I'm pleased with it. The diamonds are very tiny but still sparkle. A good deal at this reduced price!

Great everyday ring
Par Goldie
Happy with this purchase and have ordered a second one in the silver. The gold plate looks pretty good for a one hundred dollar ring and plan to wear on special occasions and wear the silver one casually. I have made several returns in the last few months and am just wondering why there is an additional restocking fee when we already pay shipping & handling. It should be mentioned somewhere but isn't.
Nice! Nice!
Par Lily
de BC
Purchased this as a gift for someone. Really nice looking ring. Nice design and comfortable on the hand. The diamonds are tiny but lots of sparkle. Very pleased with this purchase and price.
A lovely ring
Par Remy
de Mississauga
I bought the yellow gold at first, but I love it and have received compliments from friends whenever I wear it that I also bought the rhodium finish. I wear them when I travel and casually. I love the glitter of the diamonds. They are tiny but sparkly. A friend told me the last time she saw the ring that she will also order one.
Diamond 8 Row Crossover
Par Aurie
de Ancaster ON
Purchased this ring in the Yellow Plating but was very disappointed by the colour of the diamonds and the colour of the Gold. It looked pink to me in some lighting and brassy in others.

Par Michele
de Toronto, Ontario
I have had my eye on this ring since it was a Showstopper but was unable to attain it at the time. I could see how stunning it was on air and when I received it, I couldn't believe how well made it was. The diamonds are clear and brilliant. The underneath part of the shank could be a little wider. I got the rhodium-plate although originally I was leaning towards rose-gold plate as that has been my favorite gold preference for well over 40 years. It will not disappoint the diamond crossover band enthusiast. Honestly the rhodium-plate looks like white gold. Perhaps I'll buy the rose-gold version in the New Year if they are still available. One beautiful ring! Well done TSC!

At its grand opening celebration on Wednesday, October 26, 2011, The Art Institute of Michigan – Troy, an additional location of The Illinois Institute of Art — Chicago, presented Operation: Kid Equip, a Detroit-based organization that provides basic school needs for children of low-income families, with a donation of 200 boxes of Crayons and a check for $500. "At The Art Institute of Michigan — Troy, we are committed to providing students with educational opportunities that will help prepare them for creative and rewarding careers," said Turner Berg, campus director for The Art Institute of Michigan — Troy. "We are delighted to support a worthwhile nonprofit organization like Operation: Kid Equip that shares our philosophy for helping students to succeed."The Art Institute of Michigan — Troy hosted the fundraiser October 10-25 and encouraged faculty, staff and students to reach out to their families, friends, churches and local community organizations for help in collecting the crayons.

Bud Light ("Marketing Meeting") – A guy is tossed from a window for suggesting the company get rid of Bud Light.
Nothing like a little office place violence for a good laugh. At least he got up and walked away.
Universal Studios ("Angels & Demons") – Trailer for Da Vinci Code sequel.
I'd probably be more excited if I read the books. And even then, I'd only be marginally excited.
Audi ("Car Chase") – Jason Statham races from decade to decade before finding the new Audi A6.
Nice chase scene. The vintage Mercedes was pretty sweet (sorry Audi).
Pepsi ("Forever Young") – Bob Dylan and will.i.am sing an ode to youthfulness.
Nice spot, well done, but very forgetable in this line-up.
Doritos ("Crystal Ball") – A crystal ball brings free Doritos but no promotion.
The first of two user-generated spots and a damn good one at that.
Bud Light ("Conan in Sweden") – Conan films a Swedish Bud Light commercial.
Gotta love Conan, especially when he gets mad.
Columbia ("Year One") – Trailer for prehistoric Jack Black comedy, Year One.
Jack Black as a caveman? That's a stretch.
Toyota ("Venza") – The style of the Venza is revealed in architecture and art.
Bridgestone ("Mr. Potatohead") – Mrs. Potatohead complains about Mr. Potatohead's driving.
A classic toy with edge. She brought extra eyes, why didn't she bring an extra mouth?
Universal ("Fast & Furious") – Trailer for Fast & Furious sequel.
Nice. But it would have been better without Vin Diesel.
Castol ("Chimps") – A man hires chimps to work on his car.
Really? Kissing a chimp? Horrible.
Universal ("Land of the Lost") – Trailer for Will Ferrell prehistoric comedy, Land of the Lost.
Nice. Can't wait to see the sleestaks.
Doritos ("Magic Crunch") – Crunching Doritos makes good things happen for man.
Another user-generated spot. It's no "Crystal Ball," but it's a decent effort.
Go Daddy ("Shower") – Danica showers while men watch on their computer.
The "We're naughty" angle is starting to wear thin for Go Daddy.
Pepsi Max ("I'm Good") – Pepsi unveils the diet cola for men.
Lotta violence in this year's spots, isn't there? It's still funny though.
Pedigree ("Pet Adoption") – Odd pets show what the world would be like without dogs.
Keep the labrador retriver, I totally want an ostrich as a pet.
Anheuser-Busch ("Fetch") – A clydesdale one-ups a dalmatian in a game of fetch.
Could this spot be more predictable? It would have been better if the horse brought back Conan O'Brien.
Budweiser ("Horse Love") – A clydesdale falls in love with a circus horse.
Awwwwwww…(I actually missed this spot, but it sounds cute.)
Paramount ("Star Trek") – Trailer for the Star Trek prequel.
I wouldn't think there'd be a lot of crossover between the "football crowd" and the "Star Trek crowd" but whatever.
Gatorade ("Mission G") – Atheletes talk about Mission G.
Not bad. Nice to see so many familiar faces in there.
Cars.com ("David Abernathy") – A successful man uses Cars.com when buying a car.
Hyundai ("Genesis") – Hyundai competitors aren't pleased about the award-winning Hyundai.
Angry foreign guys are funny. Isn't Hyundai a foreign company?
E*Trade ("Baby") – The E*Trade baby and his singing friend return to the big game.
The baby is back, a year older, and funnier than ever.
Disney Pixar ("Up") - Trailer for the animated feature, Up.
I don't watch a lot of animiated movies, but this one, I might watch. Okay, I probably won't.
Bud Light ("Skiing") – A man draws skiing obstacles to prove Bud's drinkability.
We've seen the drawing guy in other Bud Light ads. This isn't even his best work.
H&R Block ("Death") – The grim reaper complains about his tax return.
H&R Block was hyping this as Abe Vigoda's big cameo, but he only supplied the voice. Booooo!
Teleflora ("Mean Flowers") – A box of flowers insult a woman.
Great, edgy twist on an ad for flowers. I'll have to pick some up at my local florist this Valentines Day.
Cheetos ("Bird Attack") – A rude cell phone talker is attacked by hungry birds.
There's something about the new Chester the Cheetah that's both creepy and cool. He's like a junk food pimp.
Dreamworks ("Monsters vs. Aliens") – 3D trailer for movie, Monsters vs. Aliens.
This pretty much sucked. It was actually better without the glasses.
Sobe ("Lizard Lake") – Lizards and NFL stars dance in 3D.
Kinda weird all around. The 3D was slightly better than Monster vs. Aliens, but still disappoining.

Marion Company Fined $775,000
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- An eastern Iowa financial services company has been fined $775,000 by industry regulators for failing to supervise the sale of alternative investments.
Berthel Fisher & Co. Financial Services and its affiliate Securities Management & Research, both based in Marion, were alleged to have provided inadequate supervisory systems for sales of alternative investments including certain real estate investment trusts.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority says the companies did not train staff properly and did not correctly review investments. The company also was cited for not adequately researching certain exchange-traded funds.
The companies agreed to the fine without admitting the charges.
A company statement says its officials take regulatory issues seriously and work to improve procedures to provide the best investments to its clients so they can better meet their financial goals.

Rent, buy and watch the latest movies and TV shows online
blinkbox has more of the latest movies and TV shows than our competitors.
No subscription, so you only pay when you rent or buy a movie or TV show, from just 99p.
blinkbox is available on PC/Mac, tablets, consoles, smart TVs, set-top boxes and Blu-ray players.
As recently as the 1980's, store fronts, murals, banners, barn signs, billboards, and even street signs were all hand-lettered with brush and paint. But, like many skilled trades, the sign industry has been overrun by the techno-fuelled promise of quicker and cheaper. Fortunately, there is a growing trend to seek out traditional sign painters and a renaissance in the trade. Featuring interviews with more than two dozen artists from across the United States, "Sign Painters" is the first film to explore the history of the time-honoured craft of sign painting. Documenting these dedicated practitioners, their methods, and their appreciation for quality and craftsmanship, the film profiles sign painters young and old, from the new vanguard working solo to collaborative shops such as San Francisco's New Bohemia Signs and New York's Colossal Media's Sky High Murals.

Diversity Conversations
During the first half of the semester, groups of students meet for a 4-week period to discuss issues of diversity and identity on campus. These interactive small group conversations are held across campus and led by student facilitators.
Sager Fund
The Sager Fund was established in 1988 by alumnus Richard Sager '73. In creating the Sager Fund it also established the Sager Symposium, which over a period of 20 years explored current topics for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community. Past symposia explored a wide range of topics including but not limited to "sexual politics in the bedroom, the boardroom and classroom; queer media; coalition building across queer differences; queer people of color; and the intersection of race, religion, and gender."
Tri-College Equity, Identity, and Social Institute
The Tri-College Equity, Identity, and Social Institute is a five day orientation sponsored by Swarthmore, Haverford, and Bryn Mawr Colleges for first-year students who are interested in exploring issues of multicultural identity and leadership, especially as they relate to race, class and gender. The program consists of a series of interactive workshops and seminars led by administrators and students from each of the three college.
Tri-College Winter Multicultural Institute
The Tri-College Winter Multicultural Institute has been held annually since 1994 for faculty, staff and students from the three Colleges. The institute consists of 2 ½ days of intensive experiential workshops focused on issues of race/ethnicity, socioeconomic class, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and privilege. The goal of the program is to provide an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds to learn from one another how to be more effective allies and multicultural leaders. more
Richard Rubin Scholar Mentoring Program
The Richard Rubin Scholar Mentoring Program was established in 2004 by an initial gift from Richard Rubin and a group of his former Swarthmore students. The objective of the Rubin Scholar Mentoring Program is to advance the academic, interpersonal, social and professional success of disadvantaged Swarthmore students while they are enrolled at the college and beyond graduation.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Observance
Each year Swarthmore College celebrates the life and legacy of The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through programs that feature special musical performances, panel presentations by faculty, staff, and students, and invited guest speakers. Past programs have featured guests including Christopher Edley, Jr.,'73, founding co-director of The Civil Rights Project at Harvard University, Preston Williams of Harvard Divinity School, and The Rev. Dr. M. William Howard, Jr., pastor of Bethany Baptist Church, Newark, N.J.
World AIDS Day
Established by the World Health Organization in 1988, December 1st is recognized internationally as World Aids Day. The aim of World Aids Day is to raise consciousness on the Swarthmore College campus, and surrounding communities about HIV/AIDS, locally, nationally, and internationally. Observance of the day provides an opportunity for faculty, staff, and students to learn more about HIV/AIDS through a variety of programs, that include hearing from people living with AIDS, viewing films, hearing from guest speakers, and attending panel presentations. The goal of the day at Swarthmore is to provide relevant information about how to fight this epidemic. Each year, campus programs are presented by different student groups, faculty, administrative offices, and the Worth Health Center.
Faculty Pedagogy Workshops
Over the last 20 years, the social diversity of the Swarthmore student body has changed dramatically, thereby raising new issues for faculty teaching in a more diverse classroom setting. In conjunction with the Provost's Office, a three-hour workshop on issues of diversity, identity, and pedagogy are offered to faculty interested in exploring these issues and their implications these changes have for teaching. Workshops are offered during the spring semester.
Diversity Workshops
Diversity week is an opportunity for student groups, cultural centers, and academic departments at Swarthmore to present a variety of programs and speakers that highlight the breath of diversity represented within the community. Students, faculty, and staff meet and plan educational, cultural, and social events that are designed to bring the campus community together to further explore, understand and celebrate the full range of social diversity found on the campus.

News, views and commentary on Long Island, state and national politics

Left out so far, Assembly GOP sets own hearing on LIPA
Left out of meetings with the Cuomo administration, Long Island's Republican Assembly delegation has slated its own hearing on the possible privatization of the Long Island Power Authority.
The GOP hearing is set for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday, March 15, at the Suffolk County Legislature auditorium in the William H. Rogers Building, 725 Veterans Memorial Highway in Hauppauge.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who has advocated privatizing LIPA, has dispatched top aides to meet with Assembly Democrats and LI's all-Republican Senate delegation – sparking some grumbling among Assembly Republicans.
In an overwhelmingly Democratic Assembly, the Republicans have little influence. But they note that on Long Island, Republicans outnumber Democrats in the Assembly, 12-10.
According to a meeting invitation, the forum will provide "opportunity to hear from experts about the need to bring about substantial reforms of the utility, including but not limited to contractual improvements, management audits and privatization."

I recently stumbled upon a post that Peter Zaitsev published back in 2007 titled "Innodb Performance Optimization Basics." It's a great post and reading it inspired me to examine what's changed in the nearly six years that have followed in terms of MySQL, Percona Server – as well as in all of the other now-available […]

How to move the InnoDB log sequence number (LSN) forward
This post focuses on the problem of the InnoDB log sequence number being in the future. Preface: What is an InnoDB log sequence number? The Log sequence number (LSN) is an important database parameter used by InnoDB in many places. The most important use is for crash recovery and buffer pool purge control. Internally, the InnoDB […]
TokuDB vs InnoDB in timeseries INSERT benchmark
This post is a continuation of my research of TokuDB's storage engine to understand if it is suitable for timeseries workloads. While inserting LOAD DATA INFILE into an empty table shows great results for TokuDB, what's more interesting is seeing some realistic workloads. So this time let's take a look at the INSERT benchmark.
Checking B+tree leaf nodes list consistency in InnoDB
If we have InnoDB pages there are two ways to learn how many records they contain: PAGE_N_RECS field in the page header Count records while walking over the list of records from infimum to supremum In some previous revision of the recovery tool a short summary was added to a dump which is produced by […]
Recovering temporal types in MySQL 5.6: TIME, TIMESTAMP and DATETIME
MySQL 5.6 introduces a new feature – microseconds resolution in some temporal types. As of 5.6.4 TIME, TIMESTAMP and DATETIME can have a fractional part. To create a field with subseconds you can specify precision in brackets: TIME(3), DATETIME(6) etc. Obviously, the new feature requires the format change. All three types may now have a […]
Benchmarking Percona Server TokuDB vs InnoDB
After compiling Percona Server with TokuDB, of course I wanted to compare InnoDB performance vs TokuDB. I have a particular workload I'm interested in testing – it is an insert-intensive workload (which is TokuDB's strong suit) with some roll-up aggregation, which should produce updates in-place (I will use INSERT .. ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE statements […]
How to recover table structure from InnoDB dictionary
To recover a dropped or corrupt table with Percona Data Recovery Tool for InnoDB you need two things: media with records(ibdata1, *.ibd, disk image, etc.) and a table structure. Indeed, there is no information about the table structure in an InnoDB page. Normally we either recover the structure from .frm files or take it from […]
Recovering from a bad UPDATE statement
Did you just run an UPDATE against your 10 million row users table without a WHERE clause? Did you know that in MySQL 5.5 that sometimes you can recover from a bad UPDATE statement? This is possible if you are running in binlog_format=ROW ! Imagine this scenario:
CREATE TABLE `t1` (
`c1` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`c2` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`c1`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
INSERT INTO `t1` (`c2`) VALUES ('michael'), ('peter'), ('aamina');
We run an accidental UPDATE statement that […]
Recovery after DROP & CREATE
In a very popular data loss scenario a table is dropped and empty one is created with the same name. This is because mysqldump in many cases generates the "DROP TABLE" instruction before the "CREATE TABLE":
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `actor`;
/*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client = @@character_set_client */;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf8 */;
CREATE TABLE `actor` (
`actor_id` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`first_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`last_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`last_update` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`actor_id`),
KEY `idx_actor_last_name` (`last_name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=201 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client */;
If there were no subsequent CREATE TABLE the recovery would be trivial. Index_id of the PRIMARY index of […]
Recovery deleted ibdata1
Recently I had a case when a customer deleted the InnoDB main table space – ibdata1 – and redo logs – ib_logfile*. MySQL keeps InnoDB files open all the time. The following recovery technique is based on this fact and it allowed to salvage the database. Actually, the files were deleted long time ago – […]
