By ROBERT BAIRD, Capital News Service
WASHINGTON - Candidate C. Anthony Muse, running to unseat Sen. Ben Cardin, defended his campaign literature, which singled out Jews in the upper chamber, as "educational tools" designed to emphasize the low numbers of blacks in Congress.
But critics are charging that the materials -- which, in toting up the numbers of different races in the Senate, identify just one religious group and separate Jews from whites -- are designed to show there are "too many Jews in the Senate."
At issue are how-to-vote cards distributed by Democratic Senate candidate C. Anthony Muse that identify "Jewish" as a demographic distinct from "White."
Leaflets carrying an authority line from Muse's campaign are being distributed at early voting centers. They list the demographic breakdown of the U.S. Senate, listing 84 senators as white, two as Hispanic, two as Asian, 12 as Jewish and no Native Americans or blacks.
There were no breakdowns of any other religious affiliations.
Muse campaign spokesman Terry Speigner said the leaflet was not aimed at Cardin, who is Jewish.
"We have not thrown mud, and we do not intend to throw mud," he said.
Speigner said the leaflets were intended as "educational tools" to remind voters of the lack of representation of African Americans in the U.S. Senate. (Muse is one of a handful of black candidates for the Senate seat, including Raymond Blagmon, a Democrat, and Republicans Robert Broadus and Corrogan Vaughn.)
Arthur Abramson, executive director of the Baltimore Jewish Council, said he doesn't understand why race and religion are relevant in an election.
"Looking at the document, the only implication I can draw is maybe there are too many Jews (in the Senate)," he said.
"Clearly the only religion (Muse) is interested in identifying is Senator Cardin's," he said.
"I am hoping we are publically moving beyond many questions of race, there should be so many other questions...in determining their suitability for public office," he said.
The leaflet also depicts Muse alongside President Barack Obama with the words "making history together." Speigner said this was natural since Muse is endorsing the president and encouraging his supporters to vote Obama.
"They are 'making history together'...it will be the first time a black president is re-elected...and this will be the first time Maryland elects an African-American senator," he said.
However, Obama officially endorsed Cardin last November, calling him "one of the good guys," and recently campaigned with him in Prince George's County.
Cardin has defeated prominent black opponents before. In his inaugural election to the Senate in 2006, he defeated former NAACP president Kweisi Mfume in a close primary. He then went on to defeat then-Lt. Gov. of Maryland Michael Steele, a black Republican, in the general election. Mfume has endorsed Cardin for re-election.
In February, Cardin also received the endorsement of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, a group of Baltimore-based ministers.
The Cardin campaign would not comment directly on the leaflet. The senator's spokeswoman Sue Walitsky said Cardin is "proud" of the campaign he is running, and "will let others be responsible for their own actions and materials."
"Cardin has worked to represent all Marylanders," she said.
Early polling has begun, and voters will choose the Maryland Democratic candidate on Tuesday.
CNS tried to contact several other organizations, including the Anti-Defamation League and the NAACP, but did not receive a response before deadline.

First Sentences Friday (and a Five-Book Giveaway)
I'm a big fan of first sentences. I don't judge a book by its first sentence--that's too much pressure to put on a dozen or less words, after all. But I appreciate a grabber of a first sentence when I see it.
These books aren't all first-sentence grabbers...but they're good reads, and a big variety of reads. And I'm giving a commenter his or her choice of any five of these. Comments through midnight tonight only, so don't dilly-dally!
So, what's in the grab bag today....?
1--"Wellington Thornhill Books, Esquire, had never heard an explosion that close before. Considering the ringing in his ears, he would most likely never hear another one like it again." -- Phoenix Rising, by Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris (steampunk)
2-- "The fairies flew suspended on wires, despite their tendency to get tangled together. Beatrice Shakespeare Smith, busy assessing her reflection in the looking glass and thinking perhaps she shouldn't have dyed her hair blue on this particular morning, turned to glare at them when they rocketed past the end of her nose for the third time in as many minutes." -- Eyes Like Stars, first in the Theatre Illuminata series, by Lisa Mantchev (YA)
3. "My name is Veldmr. I understand that in your language it is not a beautiful name, but in my ancient language, now sadly lost, it had a particular musicality to it." --The Infinity Gate, by Sara Douglass (fantasy)
4. "It had been a long drive from Rochester. Despite the fact that Paige had made longer trips in a much crappier car, she felt every mile as if each one had knuckles to rap against her temples." --Skinners: The Breaking, by Marcus Pelegrimas (urban fantasy)
5. "Imagine shoving a cattle prod up a rhino's ass, shouting 'April Fool!' and hoping the rhino thinks it's funny. That's about how much fun it is hunting a vampire." -- Kill the Dead, by Richard Kadrey (and are those awesome opening sentences, or what!) (urban fantasy)
6. "Howls fill the night. The blasted hills smoked and the stench of char filled the air." --At the Gates of Darkness, by Raymond E. Feist (fantasy)
7. "There was a naked woman on his boat. Logan Hardington shook his head and rubbed his eyes, but the picture didn't change." -- Chance of a Lifetime, by Judi Fennell (paranormal romance)
8. "Without warning, all the candles in the room's corners flicker and feint, as if a sudden gust has entered, but the air remains still. At the same moment, the hairs on my arms prickle and stand erect and I shudder; a cold breath descends on us, though outside the day is close." --Prophecy, by S.J. Parris (paranormal literary fiction)
9. "I was sitting outside the Commodore's mansion, waiting for my brother Charlie to come out with news of the job. It was threatening to snow and I was cold and for want of something to do I studied Charlie's new horse, Nimble." --The Sisters Brothers, by Patrick DeWitt (weird west)
10. "Mr. Dunworthy opened the door to the laboratory and his spectacles promptly steamed up. "Am I too late?" he said, yanking them off and squinting at Mary." -- Doomsday Book, by Connie Willis (time-travel sci-fi)
11. "'Where do you want it?' Hot vampire lips caressed my shoulder in a fall of sweaty nightblack hair, and his salty breath burned me."--Blood Cursed, by Erica Hayes (urban fantasy)
12. "Sly Fores overheard an argument emanating from a nearby alley. His inner vigilante vampire paid attention."--The Vampire Next Door, by Ashlyn Chase (paranormal romance)
13. "My sister Justine always believed that the best way to deal with your fear of the dark is to pretend it's really light. Years ago, she tried to put the theory into practice as we lay in our beds, surrounded by blackness."--Siren, by Tricia Rayburn (YA)
14. "Bree's fingers tightened around the metal disk as she ran through the graveyard, zigzagging past leaning headstones. Her lantern swayed, throwing shadows on the crypt looming before her, its stone walls the color of bones."--Awaken the Highland Warrior, by Anita Clenney (paranormal romance)
15. "It took the world just sixty days to end. And we were there to account for it--our omissions, our arrogance..." --The Fall, by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan (dystopian urban fantasy)
So...which five would you like to try? Post a comment with the five numbers. Note that some of these books might be ARCs (advanced review copies) and some are final copies. All are new copies, however. As always, +1 entry for comment, +1 for blog follow, +1 for Twitter follow @Suzanne_Johnson, and +1 for a tweet or retweet. Start picking! Tweet

Ford To Hire 2,200 Salaried Workers In The U.S. This Year, Building On Aggressive 2012 Hiring To Support New Products
DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
- Continued aggressive pace of new Ford products creates need for largest U.S. hiring for salaried workers in more than 10 years
- Ford plans to hire 2,200 salaried workers in 2013 to fill jobs in such key areas as Product Development, Manufacturing and IT; recruiting through social media being expanded
- The hiring builds on the creation of more than 8,100 salaried and hourly jobs in the U.S. in 2012 – including 1,000 in-sourced hourly positions; Ford is more than halfway to its goal of creating 12,000 hourly jobs in the U.S. by 2015 to support new products and investment
Ford Motor Company plans to hire 2,200 salaried workers in the U.S. this year – the largest increase in new salaried workers in more than a decade – to support the continued aggressive pace of new Ford product introductions.
The hiring is in addition to the more than 8,100 combined hourly and salaried jobs Ford added in the U.S. in 2012, as the company increased production capacity and expanded Engineering, Manufacturing and other areas to meet the growing demand for its fuel-efficient, high-tech vehicles. Approximately 1,000 of these positions were hourly jobs brought back to Ford plants in the U.S. from other locations, including suppliers in Japan and Mexico.
The company now is more than halfway to the 12,000 new U.S. jobs it committed to deliver by 2015 as part of its 2011 contract with the United Auto Workers."Our One Ford plan is designed to create profitable growth, and our new hiring is a direct result of our plan working," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of The Americas. "As we expand our product lineup of fuel-efficient vehicles, we need more people in critical areas – such as in a range of engineering activities, vehicle production, computer software and other IT functions – to ensure we deliver the vehicles people want and value." Ford's U.S. hiring also will help support the company's global product momentum. Ford is committed to serving customers in all markets with a full family of vehicles offering the best in quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart design and value.

Let's be Spontaneous!January '12- Sunrise Breakfast and EMH! 2 part update(3/11)
This trip was booked on a whim one cold Maine winter afternoon. We had returned from the Mouse House in June, and were not planning a return trip for at least a year. Until, I started pricing and then looking at crowds... and well the rest is history! There is a pretrip report that is scattered and short here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread....1#post43415041
In this trip report you will find an obscene number of photos, two very quirky people, and you will see what happens when the planner doesn't plan!!
Dates: January 9th January 15th, 2012
Dining Plan Disney Dining
Resort Disneys Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo
How about some introductions!
This is Josh, the DH. He is a twenty something who didnt quite know he had a love of the mouse until we went to Disney in 2010 to be married. This was his 3rd trip, and I would now qualify him as a Disney nut! He is a solider with the Army National Guard (this becomes important later) and in his final year of college. Josh is a big Muppet, and Toy Story fan. He likes to try new foods, and enjoys a good beer.
This is me, Beth. I am a twenty something with a passion for life that many people just dont get. I currently work in a Financial Aid Office at a tiny University in Maine, where the DH and I met. I tend to obsessively plan. I love food, in general, and incorporate a little Disney into my everyday life when I can. This is my 4th trip to the Mouse House.
And this is Lucky AKA Dog Dog. Lucky is a 3 year old (next month) 90 something pound baby who has taken over our lives since he joined our family in March. Dog dog is where we will begin our journey ..
Links in the next post!
Monday, January 9th!
First, The dog gets very sick...
Next, We start the journey...
And then, We get there
Now, we should have dinner (Boma)
Tuesday, January 10th!
Why, am I awake this early!?
We Got out the door, now what? (The Mara)
How long can it take to get down Main Street USA?
We get off the train, I get distracted, then I almost die at the POTC!!!
Getting to the Plaza
Lunch at the Plaza
We begin to wander...
Josh loses, and not graciously
Now what to do? pt. 1
Now what to do pt. 2
It's raining soot!!
Disappointing dinner :( (Petcos Bill's)
Wednesday, January 11th!
Breakfast with the sunrise (from the Mara)
Animal Kingdom Extra Magic Hours, and Extra Magical Safari!
LIFE update!! (3/18)
We left Monday morning, very early, so I knew that I needed to have everything in order and ready to go when Josh got home on Sunday (he had Army drill) So, I spent Sunday morning doing laundry, and cleaning up around the house, and then went with a friend to get our nails done.
Lucky didnt want to eat breakfast, and after I convinced him, he was sick. Poor puppy didnt feel well.
I didnt think too much of it, because Lucky has caught a cold in the past. However, by the time Josh got home from drill, and we were starting to think about finishing our packing, we knew something was wrong. VERY wrong. Lucky started shaking, and begging to go outside, just to sit on the deck. I called the emergency vet, and they advised that we bring him in as soon as possible.
I was worried, as my baby looked like this
Instead of like this
Well 2 hours, and 3 medications later, we were headed out the door, with instructions to give our pet sitter. Lucky had an infection, and had been running a fever. I have to say, having someone you trust and know will take care of your pets makes all the difference when leaving on vacation. More so, when you are very worried!!!
We got home, ate a quick dinner, finished packing, and headed to bed. The alarm was set for 3:45, and I knew it was going to be a long day of travel!!
I'm here! I'm sorry Lucky got sick! It's always tough to leave your pets when you go on vacation, and especially hard if they are not feeling well. I hope that the pet sitter took good care of him and that he was all better by the time you got home!
Look what I just stumbled across! I'm sorry about Lucky. That's not a good way to start a trip, but I'm glad you could trust someone to take good care of him while you were gone.
I'm looking forward to reading about your trip.
I would trust our house sitter with my life. She will be an RN in May, so I can't imagine anyone better to leave my sick pup with!
The alarm went off Monday morning at 3:45, however at 3:30 I was wide awake, and decided to get my day started :yay:! I crept down the stairs, trying not to wake the most wonderful house sitter ever, who was asleep on my couch.
We are out the door by 4:45, and our wonderful house sitter drops us off at the airport, where we check in to find that they have changed our flights! We wont be leaving until 6:50!!!! We decide that since we now had plenty of time, that we would get some breakfast!!
I figured now was as good a time as any to start photographing our food!
I had a bacon egg and cheese on an English muffin, and Josh had the same, but on a bagel. Josh was please it had bacon and I cant complain!
One of the things that I most love about Maine is that our airports are TINY. We have one concourse at the largest two, and neither has more than 10 gates. It is so easy to get in through security, because there are never too many flights at once!!
Josh took a little nap while I posted to facebook, and read a book on my phone. Before we knew it, we were onboard!
Where Josh took another nap!!!!
Soon enough we landed in Philly, where we RACED to catch our next plane! We got there just in time to board and sit, and sit, and sit.
About 15 minutes after we were supposed to leave, we were told that due to mechanical issues with the plane that we needed to deplane, and wait in the gate area for more information!! There were kids around us crying, and no one was impressed to say the least.
We were told after a short wait that they would be boarding us later in the day (5 hours later). They gave everyone a $5 lunch voucher, and sent them on their way.
Josh, being the quick thinker he is realized that we were in the concourse with the USO!!! Told you the whole soldier thing was important!
So headed off to the USO where we had lunch, and chatted about our reservations and plans for the next few days!
After chatting for a bit, we decided to go relax in the TV room, where I somewhat napped, and we watched American Pickers for a bit!
Josh relaxing.
Josh took this photo of us holding hands
We headed back to the gate, and stopped for a fun photo with the Lego Liberty Bell!!
Soon enough we were on board!
I took this photo to send to my dad, this was the largest plane that I had ever been on! It held over 200 people!!
Lucky for us, there was a young man seated across the way who had spent the entire delay drinking. He was very loud, and somewhat crude. We were unimpress, but lucky for us, he passed out shortly after we took off.
Soon enough we were off the plane where we made wonderful friends on the shuttle who were also headed to Animal Kingdom lodge!
Before we knew it, we were on the magical express, chatting away with our new friends! I found out that they are on the DIS, and we quickly become Facebook friends! (This becomes important!!)
Lucky for Josh and I, we are the first stop! Jambo house, here we come!!!!!!!!
We love the Philly USO! They helped Dan sooo much when he was on a red eye, in that huge storm (was it a hurricane that hit the east coast?) when his dad was deathly ill. They fed him, gave him a place to sleep, got 6 connecting flights (that were all canceled) AND allowed him the use of a computer.
okay following along my maine friend....but pls tell me what the uso is....canadian army wife so not really sure.
and poor lucky....thats your equivalent to b landing at the docs about 12 hrs before we left to drive to maine.
Glad you are here Amber!!!!!!!!!!!!
The USO is a place where soldiers can go and rest. They are a really amazing organization this is their website, they do all sorts of things for the troops http://www.uso.org/
I just found your TR and hope you don't mind if I join in:)
We rented points to stay in AKV last May and it was so beautiful. I can't wait to hear about your stay there.
That's awful that Lucky was sick when you had to leave for your trip. At least you had someone you trusted looking after him
ps i totally agree about your airports! s. portland was so easy to breeze through! now that being said halifax international has a record for having some of the worst tsa agents going! they let me leave the country last yr with the kids with a scribbled note from allan, landing home and coming back through in my own home town the note got me nothing but troubles!
anyways, back to maine, the kids got to leave their shoes on, the agents were nice and friendly and we really did get through very fast. it almost made up for the 12 hr drive and the limited internet connection in our hojo room- i could get 2 bars in the bathroom....one in the room! lol
Count me in!!
Lucky was doing much better by the end of the week, but it was scary!

Making your module work with the userguide is simple.
First, copy this config and place in it
<module>/config/userguide.php, replacing anything in
<> with the appropriate things:
return array
// Leave this alone
'modules' => array(
// This should be the path to this modules userguide pages, without the 'guide/'. Ex: '/guide/modulename/' would be 'modulename'
'<modulename>' => array(
// Whether this modules userguide pages should be shown
'enabled' => TRUE,
// The name that should show up on the userguide index page
'name' => '<Module Name>',
// A short description of this module, shown on the index page
'description' => '<Description goes here.>',
// Copyright message, shown in the footer for this module
'copyright' => '© 2010–2011 <Your Name>',
* If you use transparent extension outside the Kohana_ namespace,
* add your class prefix here. Both common Kohana naming conventions are
* excluded:
* - Modulename extends Modulename_Core
* - Foo extends Modulename_Foo
* For example, if you use Modulename_<class_name> for your base classes
* then you would define:
'transparent_prefixes' => array(
'Modulename' => TRUE,
Next, create a folder in your module directory called
guide/<modulename> and create
index.md and
menu.md. All userguide pages use Markdown. The index page is what is shown on the index of your module, the menu is what shows up in the side column. The menu should be formatted like this:
## [Module Name]()
- [Page name](page-path)
- [This is a Category](category)
- [Sub Page](category/sub-page)
- [Another](category/another)
- [Sub sub page](category/another/sub-page)
- Categories do not have to be a link to a page
- [Etcetera](etc)
Page paths are relative to
guide/<modulename>. So
[Page name](path-path) would look for
guide/<modulename>/page-name.md and
[Another](category/another) would look for
guide/<modulename>/page-name.md. The guide pages can be named or arranged any way you want within that folder (with the exception of
menu.md and
index.md). The breadcrumbs and page titles are pulled from the
menu.md file, not the file names or paths. You can have items that are not pages (a category that doesn't have a corresponding page). To link to the
index.md page, you should have an empty link, e.g.
[Module Name](). Do not include
.md in your links.

Programming Pearls, Second Edition
Author: Jon Bentley
Publisher: ACM Press / Addison Wesley
E-mail: email@example.com
URL: http://www.acm.org/
Price: $24.95 US
Reviewer: Harvey Friedman
To head off any misconceptions our spelling-challenged readers might have after seeing the title, this book is not about programming in Perl, even though the Perl language is referenced twice. It is a revision of a book published in 1986 that comprised an edited selection of columns Bentley wrote for the journal Communications of ACM. ACM stands for the Association for Computing Machinery, an organization of and for hardware and software professionals and students, formed back before computing technology was as specialized as it is today. As a member in the late 60's and early 70's, I eagerly read Bentley's columns, even though at times I became frustrated at not seeing the solutions he offered until after reading the hints. His first edition of Programming Pearls became an instant classic with examples from the languages C and FORTRAN, but with pseudo-code for the algorithms and solutions so that one could implement in one's favorite language. I used some of the ideas from the book when designing and implementing application access software for relatively large atmospheric science binary data files from a CD-ROM data plate.
Since Bentley works at Bell Labs, he has had the opportunity to consult on many interesting problems, the more interesting of which he uses as examples in this book. There are 15 chapters which he refers to as "columns" (because originally, each was based on a column from CACM). Each includes a discussion of the problem he considers, principles he believes one can derive from that column, and problems for solution and/or further thought. At the end of the book are hints (further questions providing insightful ways of approaching a solution) corresponding to each column's problem set, and outlines of solutions in a section following the hints section. Each column also has a section called "Further Reading", where he lists books or journal articles related to the column. It was a minor disappointment that there was not a collected bibliography at the end of the book, where all the further reading material was properly referenced with ISBNs where possible.
Finally, some of the chapters have sidebars at the ends; these are well-written narratives with interesting case studies or anecdotes. I was particularly taken by sidebar 13.8, where he presents Doug McIlroy's spelling checker. Fitting a dictionary list of 75,000 English words in the 64KB address space of a PDP-11 computer sounds impossible. Even having Bentley explain the trail of space-compressing techniques used and seeing timings for the 20-year-old "spell" doesn't take away the sense of awe.
To bring the second edition up to date, Bentley uses only C and C++ example programs for his pseudo-code. He rewrote programs for all the pseudo-code in the book, ran them on his 400MHz Pentium II with 128MB of RAM running MS Windows NT 4.0 and presented the timings in the appropriate columns. I would think if he really wanted to be up to date, he would run them on Linux. That might be a good exercise for someone playing with a Linux system who has time on their hands: download Bentley's C and C++ programs, to see how the times compare when run on a similar hardware setup. In Appendix 1, "A Catalog of Algorithms", Bentley provides college instructors of algorithm courses with ways of presenting the material in his book. Sorting, searching, string algorithms, vector and matrix algorithms, generating pseudo-random integers and numerical algorithms all have one or more sections.
Appendix 2 is a brief, back-of-the-envelope calculation quiz to evaluate one's proficiency at making reasonable numeric guesses. After trying it, I need more practice. Appendix 3 has cost models of time and space; for computers, naturally. Appendix 4, Rules for Code Tuning, comes from his 1982 book Writing Efficient Programs and lists 27 rules. The main categories are space-for-time rules, time-for-space rules, loop rules, logic rules, procedure rules and expression rules. He lists them, then references the section of the book which has examples. Appendix 5, C++ Classes for Searching, is just what it says it is.
This second edition has lost nothing in the rewriting. I only hope a new generation of programmers can appreciate it as much as those of us who learned our approaches to solving programming problems by reading the classic first edition.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

New Year's Resolutions for a Brain-Healthy 2008
Posted By admin On January 7, 2008 @ 11:00 am In Articles,Prevention and Wellness | No Comments
January 7, 2009
The past year saw a rich assortment of studies linking a healthy brain to a wide array of lifestyle factors, from exercise to diet. Here's a roundup of some of the recent research, along with some simple ways to help keep your thinking sharp into 2008, and well beyond.
Take a walk. A recent study in Italy found that seniors who regularly walk and engage in other modest activities like gardening and housework lowered their risk of developing vascular dementia, the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. The study adds to a large body of evidence that all forms of exercise, and even moderate physical activities like walking, may help to keep the brain young.
Go Mediterranean. A Mediterranean diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains may help people with Alzheimer's disease live longer than those who eat a more traditional Western diet, researchers from Columbia University in New York reported. The findings bolster earlier research showing that the traditional diet from Italy, Greece, and other countries that lie along the Mediterranean Sea high in fiber and heart-healthy fats like olive oil, along with moderate amounts of red wine and little red meat is good for anyone at any age and may help to prevent Alzheimer's in the first place.
Think colors when it comes to diet. Harvard researchers reported that men who took supplements containing beta-carotene, an antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables like carrots, cantaloupe, spinach and broccoli, had modestly lower rates of Alzheimer's disease. But studies have also shown that dietary supplements rich in individual nutrients can also pose hazards to your health. The best bet may be to eat a rich medley of colorful fruits and vegetables high in all kinds of brain-protecting antioxidants, including beta-carotene and vitamins C and E.
Don't smoke. Need another incentive to stop smoking? You may be harming those around you far more than you may know. Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley reported that long-term exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke, a problem for millions of people who live or work with a smoker, increases the risk of developing dementia.
But do have a toast. Imbibing a daily glass or wine or other alcoholic drink may slow the progression to Alzheimer's disease in people with mild cognitive impairment, a transitional stage between normal aging and dementia. The findings, from Europe, bolster earlier evidence that alcohol, in moderation, may be good for the brain.
Celebrate with friends. People who feel lonely may be twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's disease in their later years as those who feel they have a close network of friends and family, researchers reported. Earlier reports have shown that social interaction and stimulation helps to keep the brain fit, and that people with a limited social network and individuals who participate in few activities with others all appear to be at higher risk for dementia.
Relax. People who are easily distressed or flustered and who are prone to emotions such as anxiety and depression are more likely to develop memory problems as they age than more easygoing people, according to a recent analysis. In the study, men and women who most often experience negative emotions such as depression and anxiety were 40 percent more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment than those who were least prone to negative emotions.
And finally, stick with your resolutions. Researchers at Rush University in Chicago reported that "conscientious" people who set goals and who are self-disciplined and productive about meeting them may be less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Conscientiousness, according to the study authors, refers to a person's tendency to control impulses and pursue a purpose and has been correlated with avoiding a wide range of mental and physical disorders.
So be conscientiousness about meeting your goals for 2008. It may help keep the brain and body vital and the memory strong for many, many years to come.

Zillow Falls Despite Earnings Beat, Guidance Raise (Update 1)
Updated from 5:02 P.M. to include comments from the conference call in the fifth and sixth paragraphs.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Zillow (Z) shares fell 3.05% to $61.02 despite the online real estate company posting results that beat Wall Street expectations and raised its revenue guidance for the full year.
Seattle-based Zillow reported a first-quarter loss of 11 cents a share on $39 million in revenue, up 71% year over year. That beat the expectations of analysts, who were expecting a loss of 13 cents a share on $37.39 million in revenue, according to analysts surveyed. Analysts polled by Estimize were looking for a profit of 2 cents a share on $37.16 million in sales.
"We're super excited about the quarter," said CEO Spencer Rascoff in a phone conversation with TheStreet prior to earnings. "The business is firing on all cylinders."The company raised its revenue forecast for the 2013 fiscal year to between $178 million and $182 million, up from the range of $165 million to $170 million provided in February. "We're stepping on the gas in terms of advertising," Rascoff said. "We believe advertising is working for us and our Premier Agent pricing migration is working well." On the earnings call, Zillow noted it's ramping up its advertising expense, which will hurt Adjusted EBIDTA (Earnings Before Income, Depreciation, Taxes, and Amortization). For the first-quarter, Adjusted EBIDTA was $5.1 million, a decrease from $5.4 million in the year-ago quarter. For the full year, Zillow is raising its advertising expenses by $10 million to $15 million this year, lowering EBITDA in short-term. In the second quarter, Zillow said it expects revenue to be between $43.5 million and $44.5 million, up 58% year-over-year. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters are looking for $41.98 million in revenue. Adjusted EBITDA will be between $0.75 million and $1.25 million. Zillow had 50 million unique users in the quarter, up 55% year over year, and April traffic is getting stronger, with 63% year over year growth, hitting 52 million unique users. "A part of that is advertising, part of it is virality, and part is macro housing," Rascoff said. "The

This is it, your last machine. Once you get your hands on this delightful machine you won't want to part with it. The V7 is the pinnacle of the Brother V series range. The V7 is covered with a deep enriched electric blue facia, which screams out robustness. The design is incredibly masculine and reassuring and there is a no need for additional lighting, this machine has a 50% greater illuminated down lit work space. That means that over 268mm of the 285mm work area is saturated in simulated daylight.

Now included is the new exclusive direct dual drive foot from Brother, so now sewing layers and finer materials are not problem at all.
The Innovis V7 is straight as a die, even more so with the Laser guide line marker fully adjustable within a 14mm range. This will keep your sewing in a perfect straight line helping create perfectly parallel runs or hems. You can position the Laser guide line marker with accuracy on the touch screen or by eye using the new and included ultrasonic pen which can also be used for precision pattern placement, accurate needle positioning, easy finishing, adjustable ZigZag and more.
On the embroidery side the machine is home to 17 style fonts, that can be manipulated, curved more, curved less, staggered, wrapped, tapered, angled, mirrored and rotated. Select from three different sizes large, medium and small and even increase or decrease letter spacing.
There are over 200 designs which can be, stretched, shrunk, mirrored, flipped, rotated, overlaid, appliqued, repositioned dragged and dropped. Personalization is so easy and so versatile with this machine, it really is a dream to use and play with. No matter what you are working on with this machine it will always come out as a work of art.

Around 6:15 pm or so, we heard what sounded like heavy rain, so I went to look ouside and saw that the ground was totally white with hail! I stepped outside to get a better picture of the clouds and the hail, and felt like I was getting hit with BB pellets. It got really cold as well!
Hail storm!

I've been studying the manual for a couple of days but I'm a bit hazy on how to route the signals through an external effects processor (FX2000) and back into the UB1622.
Do I use knob 1 or knob 2 (mine says AUX and FX by knob 2 but the manual has AUX by knob 1)?
Do I use AUX SEND and AUX RETURN 1 or 2 sockets , the answer to that will tell me which knob to use for the return.
From the above it'll be evident I don't know much about signal processing - I'm used to using a Carlsbro Minimix with just one FX send knob per channel, one send, one return socket and an FX return knob.
Is there a block diagram which can help me or can some kind person spare a minute to explain in words of one sylable how to route the signals through an external prrocessor?
Appreciate any help

famous eats
Posted on | October 25, 2011 | 7 Comments
You know those foods that you absolutely love but can only get at a store or a restaurants. It's the kind of craving that plagues you for days, weeks even and everything else sort of pales in comparison. Once you have a taste for it you have to have it. Well I've put together a little collection of recipes for some of my favorite restaurant foods that fall into this category. And who knows, maybe I can recreate some of the magic at home. This would be so fantastic because three of the recipes listed are from eateries that we don't have in ol' NYC (see, we don't have everything here). What about you? Any go-to restaurant cravings?
Sweet Chicky Nuggets from My Name is Snickerdoodle
homemade Wendy's Frosty from The Motherload (first learned of this concept from my pal Kelly via another pal Erica on pinterest)
Houston's spinach and artichoke dip from The Frickin Chicken
Rudy's creamed corn from Bluebonnets and Brownies
homemade York Peppermint Patties from Joyful Abode via Craft
(Almost) Chuy's creamy jalapeno dip from Tasty Kitchen
Samoa Girl Scout Cookies from Too Much time on my hands

There are these Cuban empanadas at Havana Central, which has a few locations in the city. I pretty much dream about those empanadas.
October 25th, 2011 @ 10:11 pm
I love Houston's spin dip, Wendy's Frosty, Chuy's creamy jalepeno Dip, and Samoas (aka Carmel Delights in the Midwest). I will definitely try these recipes!
November 2nd, 2011 @ 5:25 am
I'm going to make that Rudy's corn for Thanksgiving for sure. I made the spinach dip this past weekend for football-watching, and it was SO close to the real thing. Thanks for posting it!

New York, We Love You
As one of the biggest and most diverse cities in the world, New York is home to many exciting and unique experiences.
Within the city, there are approximately 800 languages spoken in the streets, some of the tallest buildings in the world reside here, and a population of over 8 million people move through around the city at lightening speed. New Yorkers are fiercely loyal to their beloved city and aren't shy when it comes to boasting, which is exactly what we are about to do here. New York's Hotel Pennsylvania is proud to call New York home and be able to invite visitors to experience the wonders of what we like to think of as the greatest city in the world!
There are countless reasons why New York is the best and most of them are things you have to experience to understand, as they are truly unique to the City.
Here are some of the most fascinating things you'll only see when while visiting the Big Apple:
New York is home to the tallest building in the Western hemisphere; One World Trade Center and the smallest piece of property. The smallest piece of property located in Greenwich Village is a small triangle shaped piece of land that measures 500 square inches. The private piece of property surrounded by city owned sidewalks stands out amongst the rest of the concrete with a sign stating "property of the Hess Estate which has never been deducted for public purposes."
There isn't any other place in the world that sets the stage for musical theater like New York's famous Broadway district. The city and its residents love the arts, and support the industry unlike any other city. In fact, New York does have the highest concentration of theater venues in the world.
New York is the birthplace of hip-hop, and to this day many people will argue that the city still produces the best hip-hop in the world.
The City's largest store is Macy's Herald Square, which is home to over 2 million square feet and located just around the corner from New York's Hotel Pennsylvania.
The Nation's first ever pizzeria, Lombardi's, (which was founded in 1905) is still open for business in the neighborhood of Nolita.
Manhattan's Chinatown is the largest Chinese enclave in the Western Hemisphere.
Celebrities don't hide in big gated communities like Hollywood, here it's common to see them blending into the crowd in the subways and on the streets.
New York's subway musicians go through a vigorous selection process. Many of the musicians you walk by in the subway have performed in famous venues.
The World's Most Expensive Dessert, "Frrrozen Haute Chocolate", can be found at Serendipity 3. The dish, which blends 28 different cocoas and is topped with gold and truffle shavings will set you back $25,000. The dessert also comes with a diamond bracelet that you get to take home with you!
The largest mass transit system in the world is in New York. There are 468 subway stops across the City's five boroughs and it runs 24/7 unlike other metro systems. After all, New York is known as the city that never sleeps!
The city's oldest cobblestone street was paved in 1658 and is aptly named Stone Street. Located in the Financial District of Manhattan it is home to several dining establishments where you can dine on the street.
- And lastly New York may be the biggest city in the North America, but that doesn't mean it isn't without its charms. You won't find a Walmart here, even though the chain is one of the world's largest corporations, there aren't any outlets within the 5 boroughs of the City.
The list of things that make New York such an incredible place to visit is endless, but the best part about the city is just that; its diversity means the choice is yours!
