Greetings from the hospital room!Monday, January 7, 2013
I slept maybe a combined total of 2 hours with little cat naps and me just passing out from exhaustion. I still haven't gotten adequate sleep but I've had breakfast and just awaiting the word of when I can go home.... It's been a really stressful weekend and I just want to thank everyone who kept me and my family in their thoughts & prayers, and those who send well wishes. Without you, I wouldn't even bother blogging while in a hospital bed!

Candlelit Mason Jar Foldover Pockets Loved everything I had made. It all turned out better than I could have imagined. I was very pleased even with my special designed request.
Amazing, beautiful products - Fantastic Customer Service!
Living Dream Foldover Pockets It was so easy ordering my wedding invitations. The products are more beautiful than I ever imagined. The large selection of matching products was exactly what I was looking for!!!! When I needed help customizing my invitations, someone was there right away to help me. Thank you so much! I can't wait to send them out to my invited wedding quests! Laura
Very Unique
Candlelit Mason Jar Foldover Pockets Our invitations are so unique and I love the personalization that Magnetstreet allows. The process was very easy and I received the invitations a few days before I was expecting them. They look absolutely great and was exactly what I was looking for. The only complaint I have is that most likely due to packaging or rough handling some of the corners of the invitations were bent. I was able to smooth them out but there are a few where you can tell the invitation was damaged, minimally.
Unique Design
Candlelit Mason Jar Foldover Pockets The design is perfect for the theme of our wedding and I found it to be very unique. It was wonderful how easy it was to personalize the colours and there was many colours to choose from to exactly match our chosen colours. We love our invites!
Wedding Invitations
Candlelit Mason Jar Foldover Pockets I just received my wedding invitations from Magnet Street and we are very happy. When we first found the website, we really liked that you were able to customize any of the invitations, ect. to fit your color scheme. You can also order free samples of the colors you select, they send you a very nice package including a sample invitation and sample fonts to help you in making your decision. When you make your selection, you can customize not only color and font, but the exact wording on the invitations. Once I placed the order, I had some questions and they responded by phone very promptly and followed up with an email. Magnet Street, reviews the order once you place it to correct spelling and grammar, then send you a proof before final printing. When we finalized the proofs, we had the order within 9 days of placing our order. Again, we are very happy with the overall experience, quality and price of our wedding invitations!

Character-level interaction in Computer-Assisted
Transcription of Text Images
To date, automatic handwriting recognition systems are far from being perfect and heavy human intervention is often required to check and correct the results of such systems. As an alternative, an interactive framewrok that integrates the human knowledge into the transcription process has been presented in previous works. This new approach follows an Interactive Predictive paradigm and our results show that significant amounts of human effort can be saved. Until now only whole-word interactions with this sytem have been considered. In this work, character-level keystroke interactions, taht can allow for a more ergonomic and friendly interfaces, are proposed. Empirical results show that this allows for further improvements in user productivity.


text: Alonso: I hate losing! The aim is to fight to win right to the end 7 December, 2013 Fernando Alonso and girlfriend Dasha Kapustina at the FIA Gala Awards Cinema City in Paris hosted the FIA Gala evening at which the traditional prize giving takes place to honour this year's World Champions. For the third time in his four seasons with the Scuderia, Fernando Alonso was present as runner-up, a result that had left such a bitter taste in 2010 and 2012, when the title slipped from his grasp at the very last. This year however, the result was accepted calmly, given the clear superiority of the winners as the Spaniard admitted from the stage. "I want to congratulate Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull for their fantastic Championships. They had a superb season and deserve these titles. We hoped to make life more difficult for them but they were very good and this is their night." Fernando Alonso with Sebastian Vettel after the Belgian GP Asked to explain how he always manages to be so competitive, Fernando replied in his usual straightforward manner: "I hate losing! At the start of every year, whatever the situation, the aim is to fight to win right to the end. I love winning, and I love motor racing: this year I finished second and there's no doubt that, being this competitive, I wanted to win – as did the team. However, I am honoured to be here today and I want to thank the team for that: let's hope we can be first next year." Fernando received an ovation when he invited everyone present to applaud two drivers, but more importantly, two friends who were in the room, Mark Webber and Robert Kubica. "Mark and I have been together in Formula 1 for twelve years and we have shared many fantastic moments and we will miss him next year. Robert is doing truly great things in rallying, but we are waiting for him to return to Formula 1." (Ferrari) Subbed by AJN.

StevetheGreat Webber is a joke. Best part of 2014 will be seeing alonso get beat by his teamie in a car 100% designed for himself. Butterfly StevetheGreat: Yeah, that will be great to see, I admit. Especially since Massa was the better drive last time Kimi drove a Ferrari. Felipe wiped the floor with Fernando these past four years, so naturally, Kimi will do the same. Come to think of it, I think all of Fernando's teammates destroyed him. Tinto Wait and see, this is an open race, if asked I could not say who is gonna win, Kimi or Alonso. None of them are the best in the field, pros and cons on both sides. Kimi has more to loose if he gets beaten by Alonso, this tells Kimi is gonna be, unusually for him, a different guy, more focused than ever. Go Kimi! Safrimike Sheez Butterfly, "…Felipe wiped the floor with Fernando these past four years…." What have you been smoking? Tamburello_1994 Last time Kimi drove a Ferrari Felipe was recovering in the hospital. Do you have to take the bait every time Butterfly? Butterfly Tamburello_1994: I was talking about 2008, old man. And a bit of 2009 until the accident. Butterfly Hey, it's fun to troll the trolls. Tamburello_1994 Be a bit more concise Buttercup, and we could avoid these periodic encounters we seem to have. How many times do I have to tell you? You know what, As much as you "try" to insult me Butterfly, I like you even more. That's why I pay EXTRA attention to you. You make the b*tchslapping fun. PUCKER UP, BUTTERCUP!! Elf Just ignore him mate, the Buttoffly has ups and downs PMS kind of behavior.. sebolonso Last time around, car was built around Felippos. This time it will be built around Kimi. Poor Fernando, his time has come. Tamburello_1994 . . . . .and gone. There. Fixed it for you seb. O'Ferrari I hate to be controversial, but I just don't understand the hype about kimi. Even in his best years, he would go from super fast to mediocre from round to round. If there was no sniff of a win, he lost interest and collected points. That is not a bad thing, but I just can't see him matching alonso race in, race out. He's never had a strong team mate, but massa managed to whomp him and grosjean soundly thumped him in yhe second half of 2013. Even in his championship year he had his lulls. Round 2? Stayed behind a slower mclaren all race. Final round? Massa had to settle for second so kimi could win. Mid season, kimi lost interest and collected points. The most startling was when he set the fastest lap by over a second on the final lap of a gp. He was so fast, was just circulating around, 4 sevonds behind massa and pulling lap times nearly 1.8 seconds slower than his best. This is where I think people like schuey (91-2006), Senna, alonso and clark never left anything on the table. They drove as hard as they could all race, whether it was for first or fifth. Admittedly, senna crashed all too often and schu would occasionally barge others around if they left a gap, but they were never on autopilot. I think kimi is smarter than people hive him credit for. He always seems to salvage points. But I don't think he has the 'never say die' attitude that the greats had. matthew O'ferrari I agree with you. kimi is a great driver, no one can debate that. But he is easily discouraged and weak-willed. He will never be one of the greats. Dr. Azlan You can never underestimate the King of Spa. Alonso_is_Slow Massa never recovered from his surgery, so he is no reference to Alonso, ever. Also, after everybody firmly confirms that Kimi wll be beaten (especially Alonso mind slaves like Bittersprite), it will be so much fun to watch the opposite – cant wait for that. I am looking forward to the lamentation and lame excuses of Alonso and his fans. O'Ferrari Schumacher was the king of spa. Alonso_is_Slow "He's never had a strong team mate" – apart from the fact that he ended Montoya's racing career, ended Fisichella's career as well (and wiped the floor with Coulthard). I hope he ends Alons's as well O'Ferrari It is laughable that u mention montoya and fisichella! I said STRONG team mates. Not mediocre team mates. Ha ha, you stupid fcuking troll. jezreel @butterfly. yups but there was something obvious you forgot to mention. one need not be a rocket scientist, or a neurosurgeon for that matter, to realize there's a whole lot of difference between the pre-crash massa that kimi drove with and the post-crash massa that played second fiddle to nano. Red Bull Cheats All those that predicted Lewis would be running around in 15th place crying have never said "I was wrong." Next year all those that said Kimi will destroy Alonso will also be silent, rather than admitting their mistake. That silence will be nice. Alonso_is_Slow @O'Ferrari_patient Montoya was not a strong teammate? Show me any stronger teammate Alonso had and beat! Trulli was too much for him, as well as Hamilton. He could beat Fisico with a small margin, while Raikkonen beat Fisicella with at least 1s/per lap in each race while they were at Ferrari. This is your logic? Therapy suggested. Jules hahaha….some of you guys dissing Alonso are either ignorant or have not clue what you writing…Alonso made 1RB, 2 Mercs, 2 lotuses and pretty much all the other F1 drivers on the grid except of course Vettel who has the best car, wipe the floor for him. This is even when Alonso was driving probably the 5th or 6th fastest car of the season. Not even Kimi with a better Lotus could beat Alonso consistently this year, what more given a similar car to him. My bet is on Alonso outdriving Kimi in 2014. Kimi is likely to lose motivation mid season if he realizes he can't beat Alonso. Fernanda Aloser Tamburello1994, why don't you go back to your cell, you miserable, fat, short, old man! Fernanda Aloser And take your wimpy boyfriend, O'Ferrari with you! Tamburello_1994 @ Fernanda Aloser Wow!! You slating me here too? You sure you ain't mad? Just a wee little bit? MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. O'Ferrari I thinks somebody is butthurt because they got owned. Poor little guy… Butterfly Alonso_is_Slow: 1. Massa never recovered from his surgery? – what exactly happened to him that hindered his ability to match Fernando? 2. Mind slaves? – what is that? Care to explain in detail? You like to talk a lot, so here's your chance. Butterfly Alonso_is_Slow: Oh, and please remember that Fernando, too, had a big crash in 2003, yet he seems fine. Go, explain your BS. Rone Alonso you are a fortress made of iron. You were built to crush down your opponents even with what was given to you. You will finish them all even if they keep bringing those new breaded drivers that has no nature. F1 is lucky to have you racing. Love you sexy boy. Tamburello_1994 Yea, But did it end his season? No? Couldn't have been too bad. Felipe fricken almost died. Kinda compairing Apples and Oranges – Don't you think? Seriously. And before you go on the ad hominem, Or personal attacks you're so famous for – I actually, Hard as it may seem, Agree with your larger point. I just don't understand why it's difficult for you to be intellectually honest about "post 2009″ Massa, And still make your points about Alonso. sebolonso I don't understand all fanatic Alonso supporters crying around how good their semi God is. Get real now people. LdM scored him 8 out off 10, Bernie stated Fernando gave up and that is exactly in line whit what happened this season. Kimi will polish the floor whit Fernando and Ferrari team will assist, because everybody is just tired with the whiner. Alonso_is_Slow @bitterfly 1) post surgery Massa is evident for others, does not need explanation. Check comments above. 2) you are really a prototype for an Alonso mind slave, just look into the mirror. You beleive and repeat everything that Alonso says. A perfect duplicate. A perfect ghola. Never admit negatives. Repeat Alonso lies, like Hamilton was preferred at Mclaren (even if Hami got the team orders, e.g. in Monaco). Ready to forfeit facts, like Vettel missing apexes but car compensating it etc. Fernanda Aloser @O'Ferrari The only person who's owned here is you. Tamby94 owns you every night. Tamburello_1994 You sound jealous. You got this thing about men being together, Don't you? Repress much? Kimi4WDC On an off-topic side, Alonso is just not photogenic, he always comes across like "that dorky guy" on pictures. He should stick to race suit and helmet Junior Johnson Please guys stop fighting! All of you you are acting like little childrin enough is enough.we are here to talk about f1 not to fight.Anyway I think next years goin to be be very intresting between Alionso and Ruykonin.Who will beat who we can only wait and see but I cant wait!I dont think one will dominate the other one at all it will be one wins this race one wins that race and so on a bit like hamilton and alionso. Harys @Junior Johnson, Its true what you are saying provided Ferrari has a drivable consistent car. Kimi will then challenge Fernando & both will exchange wins…but will bleed each other for the championship. But if the car is as bad as the past 5 years, Kimi will lose interest & will not be able to keep up with Fernando. Fernando is strong physically & mentally, patient & a cunning master to pocket extra points…though Kimi is probably the fastest man on the planet. O'Ferrari Um…. no, I'm enjoying destroying fernanda aloser. He's only a small fish, but his hostility and comments anout his fictional girlfriend betray the lightness of his loafers. Sooooo much fun. matthew I've said this again and again, im a fan of both kimi and alonso. alonso undebatedly outperformed kimi this past season with a slower car. (don't say the ferrari was faster than the lotus, you are wrong.) What do you think will happen with equal cars? Alonso will be at least 25pts ahead of kimi by the end of 14. Harys @matthew, I also admire both drivers. I know Kimi can be faster than Fernando when all goes well, but from history I can see Fernando pushing harder in longer terms as he is stronger & more serious in all respects. Kimi's presence at Ferrari will make Alonso even stronger as I see it. It should be fun…let's see. sebolonso Back on topic. Fernando must then hate himself. Ferrari and Fernando just don't fit. The result speaks for itself. matthew @sebolonso…. please try to put words together in a coherent fashion. Thank you, that is all. fools _is_Slow troll

Computer uses chaos theory to keep from crashing
We've come a long way from the blue screens of death that were once so ubiquitous, yet as anyone who has ever forgotten to save a particularly important document knows, computers still crash. One of the reasons for this is computers don't repair themselves.
Unlike nature (which generally does repair itself), computers execute one process at a time in a sequential motion. This is why computers have trouble tracking seemingly random natural processes like neuron movement or bees swarming.
Of course, this makes computers great a crunching numbers. A program counter times everything, and the computer pulls instructions from memory, executes them and moves onto the next set of instructions. This just repeats.
Well, researchers at the University College of London have created what they call a "systematic" computer, which mimics nature. Instead of just having instructions that play out sequentially, data is linked to the instructions that can lead the computer to make adjustments. If it's cold outside, the computer might do something differently than if it's warm.
Each one of these data-instruction sets are called systems, and all the systems can interact with each other (as a whole). Instead of a program counter, the computer uses a pseudorandom number generator that play out programs randomly.
Obviously, this sounds like a massive programming problem, but somehow it works. And the systems have copies of the instructions built into many different systems, so if one becomes corrupted, the whole enterprise doesn't crash. The next step, according to the researchers, is teaching the computer to rewrite its own code to adapt to changes in its environment.
Thus The Matrix begins.

Wells Street Bridge
Construction begins on the Wells Street bridge, which was built in 1922, replacing a bridge built in 1896, which replaced one built in 1872. Here's a bit of history from the archives: "The first Wells Street bridge was built in 1840. It was of wood, and cost $3,000. It gave way to another wooden bridge in 1851 and still another in 1862. The latter was burned in the fire of 1871. The first iron bridge at Wells Street came in 1872, costing $22,000." -- Chicago Daily Tribune, Sept. 28, 1921.

Maybe Bob Diamond Manipulated Libor For Queen And Country?By Matt Levine
When you run a bank and things get tough one thing you might do is say "things aren't tough, they're great!" This is always sort of a lie, with a wide range around how much of a lie it is, but it can also be self-fulfilling. A bank is basically a big pile of stuff built on a thin foundation of confidence, so if you convincingly say "things are great" then the confidence thickens and things are great.* If you go on CNBC and say "honestly, we have no idea how we'll make it through the week," you won't.
There is a small deep hole here because most of the time when you need to go on CNBC and say "things are great, we have enough liquidity to last us until 2045," you are lying in some sense, because if everyone pulls their repos etc. etc. then you actually have enough liquidity to last you until 4:45, and if you don't convince everyone of the former then the latter happens. And if you tell everyone a thing that rapidly turns out to be wildly inaccurate, you look … well, "bad" is one word, "guilty of securities fraud" is another four. One component of the wage premium paid to bank CEOs is probably for this small deep hole risk, though so far the hole is smaller than it is deep.
I don't know if that has anything to do with Bob Diamond. After spending several years overseeing an operation that on a near-daily basis manipulated interest rates, and that was then caught red-handed sending dozens of emails about it, he sort of had to resign didn't he?** It's unclear what Diamond knew when – and it's hard to care that much; another part of the comp premium for bank CEOs really ought to be that if it turns out you were supervising a massive criminal enterprise, even unawares, you gotta go – but there's some evidence he had an inkling. Here is DealBook:
In the fall of 2008, Paul Tucker, deputy governor of the Bank of England, spoke with Mr. Diamond about the high Libor submissions, according to one of the people close to the case. The conversation prompted Mr. Diamond to relay the central bank's concerns to his top deputies.
While Mr. Diamond never specifically told anyone to influence Libor, at least one of the deputies acted on the discussion, regulatory records show. After talking with Mr. Diamond, the deputy then instructed employees that the Libor submissions should be lowered to be "within the pack."
This makes a creepy kind of sense doesn't it? The bulk of the hilariously horrible emails about Barclays' Libor-fixing are of the form of rates-derivatives trader emails Libor submitter to say "do me a favor bro" and the submitter does him a favor and then they all high-five and chest-bump and stuff. That sort of bro-y interpersonal favor-trading doesn't sound like the sort of thing that senior executives would be involved in.***
But creating the impression that Britain's solvent-est bank was as solvent as everyone else on the Libor panel does seem like the sort of thing that might preoccupy its CEO, and its regulator.**** And much flak is in fact now being caught by Paul Tucker for maybe saying that, though:
The FSA report judged that "no instruction for Barclays to lower its Libor submissions was given during this telephone conversation". The DoJ report says that even though more junior staff believed the BoE had instructed Barclays to lower their Libor submissions, "that was not the understanding of the senior Barclays individual [Diamond] who had the call with the Bank of England official [Tucker]".
I guess? It's fun to imaginatively reconstruct this conversation, and hard to have much confidence in your reconstruction. I submit, though, that it would be weird for junior staff to "believe the BoE had instructed Barclays to lower their Libor submissions" if the BoE had said "whatever you do, make sure your Libor submissions are accurate." It would be somewhat less weird if the BoE had said "huh, sure is a shame that your Libor submissions are so high, might make people lose confidence in you, obviously you don't want to submit anything wrong but, well, anyway, something to think about, nice chatting with you, later." (Update: this is somewhere in the middle, no?)
One thing to think about is: how much would you fault Tucker, and Diamond, if that reconstruction turned out to be more or less true? Lowering Barclays' Libor submissions was an oblique but potentially effective way for Barclays to say "we're fine, the market will fund us, no problems here," and while it had no direct effect – Barclays couldn't borrow at the rate it submitted just because it said it could – it may have had some indirect effect of lulling markets into believing that Britain's banks were in good shape. Which in October of 2008 had some value to Barclays and, probably, to the BoE. Maybe it even helped Barclays make it through the crisis relatively unscathed but for the whole, y'know, massive interest rate fraud thing.
My own guess is that Barclays wouldn't be such a piñata if that was all it had done: if it had lied about Libor just to boost confidence in itself, with perhaps a nudge-and-wink assist from the BoE, there might well be a shrug of "well everyone kind of knew that." (Certainly the BoE did; Mervyn King went around saying that Libor was "the rate of interest at which big banks don't lend to each other," which I'm sure he regrets a bit now.) Propping up confidence in a bank's viability, even dishonestly, is a venial sin – as long as the bank remains viable.
The problem for Barclays was that its traders also manipulated Libor not to preserve confidence in the bank and the banking system, but to boost the P&L on their own trades. That sort of outright zero-sum fraud, documented in voluminous terrible emails, is harder for regulators and the public to tolerate. The irony is that those manipulations probably didn't have all that much effect, relatively speaking: they were on the order of a half basis point every now and then (er, every day, whatever), and more crucially Barclays' traders at least thought they were shooting against other banks manipulating Libor the other way. So the net effect on rates may have been small. Whereas in the depths of the financial crisis, Barclays was pushing down its submissions to be "in the middle of the pack" at the same time that other banks had incentives to do the same, and probably did. "Everybody's doing it" then made the problem worse, not better – though it might also have made it easier to forgive.

Diamond testimony crucial for BoE deputy [FT]
Will Diamond Bob bring others down with him? [FT Westminster]
* Some have expressed skepticism about your ability to do that, for a generic you. Also consider whether manipulating Libor is a way around Bagehot's dictum: if banging on about how creditworthy you are is self-defeating, quietly saying "look how much credit we're getting and at such good terms" may be the only option left.
** Exercise for the reader: how many other bank CEOs will fall into that category? How many will resign? This guy perhaps conflates "Barclays" and "Bob Diamond" too much but he is not entirely wrong:
Barclays "has not been well served or rewarded for its co-operation with the regulators," said Ian Gordon, an analyst at Investec Securities in London.
But don't act so surprised, Ian; first place is often problematic when it comes to regulatory investigations. See e.g. Goldman's priority in time and size in Abacus-style-CDO fines.
*** Though it's also the sort of thing that, if I were a bank CEO, I would assume existed unless proven otherwise by actually impermeable Chinese walls, enforced compliance policies, etc. Bro-y interpersonal favor-trading is the natural state of traders; if the particular favors that they're trading are illegal, you have to actually stop them doing it, not just look shocked when you find out they did.
**** Also BoE does monetary policy and I stick by my theory that 2008-era Libor manipulation was a form of unofficial monetary easing that central banks might not have been all that broken up over.

Matt at 10am?
Bess must have called him in the middle of the night to rouse him from slumber to get working on this.
Nice tags
Thank goodness we have all those non-manipulated rates like Prime to fall back on.
Thank God there has never been any cheating on important financial markers like monthly natural gas index prices.
My memory of October 2008 was that exactly nobody was "lull[ed] into believing" that any banks in the Western world were "in good shape."
We would like to present you with this UBS 150 watch to commemorate your time with us.
Quit hiring "smart" people if you want all this cheating to go away. When everyone is an MBA, CFA charter holder or PhD trading financial derivatives then the playing field becomes too level for those expensive car, home, villa, plane, boat, mistress and gambling "payments" that come due with increasing frequency. So, cheating becomes part of the business plan of allegedly smart traders.
Classic Bess!
I am proud to say quite honestly that I never knew what was going on at RBS

Dear Matt,
We notice you have been using our famed computer system in excess as of late, and we demand some sort of royalties to absolve such infringement. If an agreement cannot be reached, we will be forced to take legal action. Please refrain from using our STAR or doubleSTAR systems until further notice.

Dear Matt,
A formal letter to cease and desist your use of "like" is currently being drafted and will be forwarded to the following address:

In the interim, please refrain from abusing the phrase or referencing same.

Normally I'd take the time to ridicule a post like this. Not today…you see my package from Bonobos came in yesterday and I look so fucking smexy today that I feel one with all human-kind. Yes, even you Retired Trader…even you.

No concerns here.
Someone should punch you in the face.
Pass my number on to my new partner for charity events and then delete it form your phone.
Much appreciated

this is the sort of hard-hitting journalism that's gonna get matt a pulitzer. or sorkin's seat on squawk box. or maybe, like, both?
Probly gonna, like, get ARS in trubs talking like that.
Yes, Matt should be in the running for the Pull-It-Surprise. More importantly, can we get some photos of Dirty Bobby D. without his toupee?
I guess we know who is cleaning the toilets later this year at bethpage
Love on the Rocks, aint no big suprise.
Based on that eagle logo, Bob's looking like maybe he did it for Fuhrer and Fatherland, not for Queen and Country.
Realize that I'm far from the first person to make that connection, and I'm kind of surprised that Barclays hasn't ditched the eagle completely – http://dealbreaker.com/2007/06/barclays-eagle-on-…
He still looks he has no penis
I have to admit I have manipulated a member of the 'team' while thinking of the Queen (in maid uniform) more than once.
Fiddle the LIBOR
He's an American. If he did it for queen and country he's also a traitor.
 it's funny but i couldn't imagine he manipulated for Queen and Country.
Hi there, just became aware of your blog through Google, and found that it is very informative. I will appreciate if you continue this in future. A lot of people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!
Thank you for the confidence in cloud based acconntiug. We experience very often that people are reluctant to move the books to the cloud. And the security issues? Well, I think that the threat of pouring hot coffee over the office/home computer is still bigger than attacks on or failure of data mirrored several times on different physical locations I work for E-conomic Ltd., we have never been an install package software but we sure see how internet access to the clients' books is a DREAM for accountants. It redefines acconntiug both for accountants but most significantly for small businesses.

Too many signs
Date: May 6, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Longboat Key Planning and Zoning Board member Walter Hackett is upset with the number of road signs that the Florida Department of Transportation has placed in the Gulf of Mexico Drive right-of-way over the years.
According to his count, there are 405 state road signs along 9.7 miles of Gulf of Mexico Drive right-of-way.
The signs include everything from 61 bike lane signs, 27 right turn yield to bike signs, 34 begin right turn lane yield to bike signs and 87 trolley stop signs.
Hackett presented his study to his fellow planning board members at the Tuesday, May 5 sign code public meeting at Town Hall.
The planning board agreed with Hackett that too many state signs clutter the right-of-way, while no town signs are allowed in those same swales.
Town staff is attempting to bring a Florida Department of Transportation official to the next sign code meeting to discuss the possibility of removing some of the state road signs that the planning board believes is overkill.
The next sign code public meeting will be 9 a.m. Tuesday, May 12 at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.

Vote on Charging Students for Summer School Delayed by R.I. State Board
Rhode Island's Council on Elementary and Secondary Education has postponed a decision on whether school districts can charge for summer school.
Rhode Island's Council on Elementary and Secondary Education has postponed a decision on whether school districts can charge for summer school.
A 2009 lawsuit filed by the ACLU highlighted a still-evolving legal issue: When can school administrators search students' cellphones and social media accounts?
Everyone's talking about Vergara but now there's another lawsuit rattling the California education system, this one involving English Language Learners. On August 3, a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge ruled that ELs were being denied an adequate education. The remedies sought could reshape how language learners are monitored.
Gov. Tom Corbett signed legislation in February allowing audio recording for "disciplinary and security purposes" in Pennsylvania school buses.
A report by the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania questions rates of suspensions and expulsions in the state.
A letter from the U.S. Department of Justice asserts that schools participating in voucher programs cannot discriminate against students with disabilities.
Several Pennsylvania students were suspended for a what a school labeled a "very graphic and very vulgar" imitation of the Harlem Shake, prompting condemnation from civil rights groups.
The penalty for harassing teachers is now a $1,000 fine or 60 days in jail, a move that has prompted backlash by civil rights groups.
The Delhi Charter School will change a policy that barred pregnant students -- and potentially, even those suspected of being pregnant -- from taking classes on campus.
The ACLU and a Missouri school district have reached a settlement following a judge's ruling about the district's anti-LGBT website filtering.

Brazil's controversial plan to extricate the internet from US control | World news | theguardian.com.
Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff is proposing a controversial set of measures to wrestle Brazil's internet from US control. Photograph: Carolyn Kaster/AP
When Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff postponed her official visit to the US in protest of National Security Agency spying activities on Tuesday, it seemed like a routine bit of diplomatic posturing.
But another one of her proposals could perhaps be more significant: a set of measures intended to extricate the internet in Brazil from under the influence of the …

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The major U.S. equity averages rose Friday on news of comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke showing his support for additional stimulus for the economy.
In addition, Reuters reported the European Central Bank is mulling setting yield-band targets for a new bond-buying program in an effort to protect its strategy and prevent speculators from trying to cash in.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 101 points, or 0.8%, at 13,158. The blue-chip index, which began the day up 6.9% so far in 2012, was mired in a four-day losing streak. The index closed the week down 0.9%.
In response to questions from U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), Bernanke revealed his view that there "is scope for further action by the Federal Reserve to ease financial conditions and strengthen the recovery" in an Aug. 22 letter to the congressman.Bernanke also said the central bank's "Operation Twist" program is still "working its way through the economic system" and indicated the benefits of further action must be balanced against the costs. Breadth was positive within the Dow, with winners outpacing losers 26 to 4. The biggest percentage gainers were American Express (AXP), Kraft Foods (KFT) and Verizon (VZ). The blue-chip decliners were Caterpillar (CAT), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Intel (INTC). The S&P 500 closed up 9 points, or 0.7%, at 1,411. The index finished the week down 0.5%. The Nasdaq gained 16 points, or 0.54%, at 3070. The exchange lost 0.22% for the week. The strongest sectors in the broad market were health care, consumer non-cyclicals and conglomerates. Basic materials were under pressure. Once again, volume was very light, with 2.56 billion shares changing hands on the Big Board and 1.33 billion shares in play on the Nasdaq. Stocks were in the red earlier in the day, driven lower by weaker-than-expected durable goods data and resurgent eurozone concerns. Before the open, the Census Bureau said durable goods orders rose 4.2% in July, the third consecutive monthly increase. But excluding transportation, new orders decreased 0.4%. Economists on average expected durable goods to increase 2.4% in July with the core figure seen rising 0.5%.

I'm currently working as a research assistant for Professor Matt Welsh in the Harvard Divison of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Come September I'll be beginning the PhD program in computer science here at Harvard with Professor Welsh as my advisor.
My work and research to date has been concentrated in the area of wireless sensor networking. I built and continue to develop MoteLab, a tool for developing and experimenting with wireless sensor networks. MoteLab was originally deployed here at Harvard but the code is now in use, in various forms, at MIT and UC Berkeley as well, and active development continues on SourceForge.
Professor Welsh and I recently returned from Ecuador where we deployed a wireless sensor network on the side of Tungurahua, an active volcano near Banos. This was a pilot project aimed at replicating the functionality of existing, wired, data-loggers, but future efforts will use wireless sensor platforms to provide unique data monitoring and recording capabilities. A more detailed description of the project can be found here. [an error occurred while processing this directive]

Byon May 7, 2013
Ever since she voted to stifle the diluted Manchin-Toomey gun-regulation compromise, Senator Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire has been pretty much the walking definition of the concept of "floundering." First, she got on the wrong side of one of the family members of a victim of the Newtown massacre, and tried to bullshit her way out of it on camera. Now, she's taken to the local media to say that she really was in favor of background checks all along, but that "outside groups" and that nasty old media have put her crossways with her own position.
Some of my colleagues want to expand the broken background check system we have now. In my view, we shouldn't be expanding a flawed system. The focus should be on fixing the existing system, which criminals are flouting. We need to make sure we are enforcing current law and prosecuting those who attempt to illegally obtain firearms. And we must ensure that NICS includes records currently not being entered in the system, including mental health adjudications where an individual is found to be a danger to themselves and others.
This, of course, is not what she was saying last week. Last week, she opposed the compromise because she was worried that the background checks might turn into a national registry of gun ownership. This was something of a problem for the senator because the compromise specifically forbids that very thing. So now she's fallen back to Chuck Grassley's dilution of the diluted compromise the one that didn't mention gun shows at all as a kind of last gasp against her plummeting approval ratings.
Wait. You say there's someone else knock-knock-knocking at the door to the Save My Ass, Please Club? Why, Jeff Flake, come on in.
I'm still not sure this is a gamechanger in two or four years, but watching these people try to get out from under this vote is like watching the folks at Cirque du Soleil.

Researchers think an increase in commuting may be partly to blame for widespread political disengagement among many Americans. As stressed-out commuters disengage, they leave the political arena to the most partisan voters.
Disability at MiT
Disabled Americans today have to negotiate for the kinds of accommodations made for FDR, and the caveat "reasonable accommodation" is built into the law. President Franklin Roosevelt did not have to negotiate. He could summon vast resources of the federal government – money as well as brains – to accomplish the work of disability. And it was accomplished with such thoroughness and efficiency that its scale could be called the Accessibility-Industrial Complex had it been directed toward public accommodations and not solely the needs of a single man. Read FDR and the Hidden Work of Disability [MiT8 2013]
Shepard Fairey claimed that his posterization of a copyrighted AP news photo of Barack Obama was a transformative work protected by the fair use doctrine. In other words, it was a shape-shifter. I claim fair use, too, when I reproduce and transform copyrighted works into media formats that are accessible to me as a blind reader. Read Shape-Shifters in the Fair Use Lab [MiT6 2009]
The social engineers who created a system for licensing beggars in New York never imagined that a blind woman had culture or could make culture. She herself may not have imagined it, either. In the moment when Paul Strand photographed her surreptitiously on the street in 1916, he could not have expected that one day blind photographers would reverse the camera's gaze.

Disability As PraxisI am a parent, homeowner, knowledge worker, and person with disabilities. Oppression is not my true word, but praxis is. In Paulo Freire's transformative work, I find an affirmation deeper than ideology or political activism -- an affirmation of the dynamic role of disability in culture. I believe the daily praxis of making adaptations and negotiating accommodations represents a significant form of cultural production. Read Disability As Praxis.
ADA 20th AnniversaryOn its 20th anniversary, pundits will debate what the Americans with Disabilities Act has accomplished. I still believe what I said in a TV interview after the ADA signing ceremony in 1990. "The ADA will not end disability discrimination overnight. But in a nation governed by the rule of law, getting it in writing is the place to start." So what is the ADA's legacy? A Generation of Problem-Solvers.

Very special for my little flowergirl
February 13, 2009
My 3 year old flower girl loved this little bracelet, especially since it was monogramed with her favorite letter. It seemed well made and not flimsy, though the pink crystals seemed a little sharply cut. I would definitely recommend it, and probably buy it again if I had to do everything all over again.

A Girl who is poor in wealth, but her self respect has made her richest
By Zephaniah
Moona is 14 years old girls at ZFE, she is in 8th standard but very weak, her mother told me one, that she cannot her good food even a glass of milk, and her diet is only two times bread in a day.
Still she is very active and loving, her poverty did not make her greedy, she loves to help others, and I know she is the only girl in my school who can replace me, one day.
Today it was first day in school of my students after winter vacation for 15 days, but still it is so much cold, their final exams are going to start in Feb, so I cannot send then on more vacation now.
It is record breaking cold here in my city like many cities of the world. We got one room on rent in July 2013, but that is in use of a family, whose house was collapsed in rain last year, so again my children are in open air now.
That family is suppose to leave our place in Feb -2014, they are so poor ,that cannot afford to pay rent anywhere so, I cannot ask them to leave now ,but because of this, my own students are suffering in winter, who were suppose to be in a room .
Today when I reached to school from my office, I saw Moona was trembling with cold, she was not wearing sox, sweater or cap, I asked her why she was not wearing anything warm , she replied that she was feeling warm.
I again asked her, I said see, as you ask your mother for anything that you need, you can ask me in a same way, because she is your physical mother and being your teacher I am your spiritual mother, so tell me do you have warm cloths she smiled and again said, No I have, But I do not need to wear that because I feel warm, she said it while she was trembling with cold.
I know she will not take it from me. Last year when I gave warm cloths to other children she did not take any thing, but later her mother told me that she did not has any.
But now I have made a plan, I will arrange a competition of that, in which she is best and then I will give her warm cloths as a prize.
I love her self-respect, but I know I cannot sleep tonight because I do not know from how many days she is without warm clothes in this much cold during vacations from school.
I love reading your post
Thank you for sharing your story. Everytime I sign on World Pulse I look to see what you have written. In the US we just had a bilizarrd but every kid I know has a warm house and multiple jackets. It breaks my heart to think about kids who have nothing. I hope your room will be avaliable soon. Keep up the good work!

A Season Turned Upside Down
After every Red Wings home game, I venture down to the lower level of Frontier Field to wait the mandated 10 minutes before my interviews can begin. And each time, I stare at the blue entrance door with the upside down Red Wings logo featuring Spikes.
Several weeks ago, someone thought it was funny to turn the logo upside down. No one has bothered to change it back. It's not a huge deal. No one sees it except the players, the front office and the media. But I wonder how long an upside down "NY" would stay on the clubhouse door at Yankee Stadium. And baseball players being among the most supersitious in the land, I wonder why no one has decided to put Spikes right side up in hopes that the Wings' season may also turn right side up.
It's worth a try, isn't it?
NO OFFENSE TO former Red Wings infielder MIKE HOLLIMON, but he never belonged in Triple-A. He struggled at New Britain, and he struggled here. Now he is back in New Britain. The Twins are making some moves, releasing first Matt Brown and then pitchers Yorman Bazardo and Ryan Mullins, but it seems only to be when they need a roster spot at Triple-A. The oddest move of the season was promoting infielder Nick Romero from Single-A Fort Myers when the Twins HAD to know that two players were coming down from the Twins. Romero played in one game, then was shipped south.
THERE ARE SOME STAND UP GUYS on the Red Wings, and you have to appreciate that. Jeff Bailey has acknowledged he has struggled all season, yet he will always speak to the media. Dustin Martin's glove pushes a ball over the left-field wall for a grand slam Sunday, but he willingly speaks. Steve Holm airmails a throw into left field, and he talks. Even manager Tom Nieto, who must be tired of seeing my face in his office every night, is always willing to cooperate.
You keep waiting, and waiting, for the Wings to put just SOMETHING together. Heck, a five-game winning streak. Or winning a series. Something. But so far, as July nears, nothing of the sort.
NO RED WINGS IS LOOKING FORWARD to the team's series in Pawtucket this week than first baseman Aaron Bates. He lives in Boston, about 35 minutes away, and his fiancee (2010 Miss Massachusetts Lacey Wilson) is counting the minutes until his arrival. She visited Rochester in May to watch the first baseman play.
Bates remains my pick to represent the Red Wings in this year's Triple-A All-Star Game.

With depression you sometimes need perspective..
Not as a person who is depressed but as a person who is on hand to help. The Samaritans may have started off as a religious group against suicide but have grown into one of the biggest secular groups dealing with suicide prevention out there.

5 Meaningful Christmas Traditions
Get into the holiday spirit with these families ideas for celebrating
By Lisa Collier Cool
A Merry Mystery
The Norbash Family; Fayetteville, Arkansas
Tradition: Secretly decorating a tree in their community
It's two weeks before Christmas, and as drivers make their way onto the Fulbright Expressway, they're greeted by a surprise: a beautifully decorated pine tree. Who decorates the same tree next to the highway entrance ramp every December? For more than a decade, the merry masterminds were Sherrie and Sid Norbash, who adorned the tree's branches with big red bows, festive garlands, shiny gold ornaments and tons of tinsel during the second week of December.
The tradition started in 1994, when the couple's daughters, Kayla, then 7, and Kelsey, then 4, thought it would be fun to make the tree by the highway look as festive as the one in the family's living room. "The girls hoped that seeing the decorations would spark the Christmas spirit and make people happy as they drove by," recalls Sherrie, 53. The first year, when the tree was 3 feet tall, trimming it took only 5 minutes. The family had so much fun that they made adorning the tree an annual event. As the tree grew—it's now nearly 30 feet tall—the Norbashes invited their friends, Hank and Diane Matthews and their kids, to share in the fun, using ladders and specially designed poles to hoist larger and larger ornaments into place.
The Norbashes' tree-trimming ritual has become such a part of who they are as a family that when Kelsey, now 21, got married this year, the reception included a slideshow with a few pictures of them in action. And it seems the tradition has become just as important to the town of Fayetteville. "Once our kids were grown, we decided to pass the tradition on to the rest of the community," says Sherrie. And it hasn't let her down. She doesn't know who's decorating the tree now, but she's happy that someone is carrying the torch.

Aien't worth it
February 7, 2014
I bought this tool and had it arrive recently. I was very disappointed in it. I purchase the black version with the MOLLE sheath (and paid the upcharge, naturally). The $10 upgrade was a waste--because the MOLLE sheath is far too big for the tool itself. And the tool itself was lacking the typical Leatherman fit and finish. The hinges were very stiff on it--to the point that I needed another multitool to open up the folding tools. The pliers aren't spring-loaded and the hinge there, too, is stiff. It's a downgrade from the Leatherman Wingman (my daily tool) or the Leatherman Sidekick (my camping/survival tool).
Pros:Black finish is handsome. The pouch itself was cool and unique.
Cons:The pouch was really too big for the tool. Really stinks that the hinges are so terrible on mine.

No arrests have been made in death of Santa Ana man at a party on Darnell Street early Sunday.
GARDEN GROVEPolice have identified the victim of a fatal stabbing at a party early Sunday morning in Garden Grove as 20-year-old Raul Alcala of Santa Ana.
No arrests have been made in the homicide that occurred during a large fight around 12:30 a.m. at a residence in the 12000 block of Darnell Street, said Garden Grove police Lt. Jeff Nightengale.
A male and female also sustained non-life-threatening stab wounds in the altercation, Nightengale said, who declined to comment on their relationship to Alcala.
Garden Grove police were originally dispatched to the site after a complaint about a loud party.
When officers arrived, a fight broke out in the backyard of the home where the party was held and as they attempted to reach the fight, people scattered, police said.
Officers then found that three people had been stabbed. They were taken to a UC Irvine Medical Center, where Alcala died.
Detectives were interviewing witnesses Monday morning as part of the ongoing investigation. \
The homicide is the third in Garden Grove this year.
