Warmer Weather Leaves Pool Dry
IOWA CITY, IA (AP) - Iowa City swimmers will need to wait a little longer to splash about in the outdoors as the opening of the City Park Pool is again being delayed.
The pool usually opens on the Memorial Day weekend but the season was delayed to June 7 because of cold temperatures that slowed the usual preparation tasks.
On Monday, the city announced the opening would be further delayed because of a broken main waste line.
Workers discovered the latest problem while filling the pool and noting a leak.
Repairs have started and work is expected to be completed within 10 days.

Developing a risk management strategy for your fitness facility, health club, or personal training studio involves three basic steps:
- Identify the potential risks;
- Evaluate the severity of the potential risks;
- Develop strategies to mitigate the potential risks.
Taking a cold hard look at your facility from a risk management point of view is the first step in developing a risk management plan. Take some time to tour each area of your facility and imagine what possible hazards could possibly arise in each area.

BRINDISI BREEZE made it three from three after a super impressive-looking all-the-way success on desperate ground at Haydock. Although the nature of this win was particularly pleasing to the eye the actual substance to the form is less clear. As impressive as this looked the winning distances may well have a lot to do with most of his rivals failing to get home in the conditions. Whether or not Brindisi Breeze would be as effective on the quicker ground he is likely to encounter at Cheltenham in March is highly debatable at best. He was beaten in a minor bumper contest at Musselburgh on the only occasion he has raced on good going; moreover, the horse that beat him that day started at 80/1 and went on to finish a well-beaten fourth in a similar event over the same course and distance.
Brindisi Breeze is not without a chance in the Albert Bartlett Novice Hurdle at the festival, but the percentage call is for him to continue to perform to his best when racing on testing ground. Therefore, although he is undoubtedly a really exciting horse to look forward to, at his current odds of 12/1and given doubts about the suitability of the probable ground, there should be at least a couple of horses taking him on with profiles more suited to the demands of that contest.

Ant feels so out of it that she is sure that she is adopted and that her "real" parents will be coming to get her any day. The more complicated her life becomes, the more she expects to be rescued by her real parents. She and her best friend Hamilton are misfits at school too. The only affection Ant seems to get is from Hamilton and her dog Pistachio. When her art teacher takes an interest in Ant, changes are inevitable, not only for Ant but for her family, her real family, as well.

The county's biggest public employee union continues to help Republicans, but perhaps not as effectively.
Thursday: Political committees funded by Orange County's largest public employee union appear to have violated state law by not disclosing the union's sponsorship in their names. That made it difficult to identify some campaign contributions as coming from the union.
Friday: The California Homeowners Association, a political committee managed primarily by a prominent county GOP consultant, received money from across the political spectrum, including union-sponsored PACs and conservative groups. It both supported and opposed GOP candidates, and contributed to the county Democratic Party chairman's PAC.
When Orange County GOP Chairman Scott Baugh issued the edict that Republicans who accepted union money would not be endorsed by the party, he knew there might be efforts to get around it.
There were and they were successful, as Morgan Cook and I detailed in Register stories published Thursday and Friday. In August 2009, while pressure was growing for GOP candidates to stop accepting union dough, a fellow named Chris Anderson established the California Citizens for Fair Government PAC. The Orange County Employees Association gave $30,000 to the PAC that year and another $45,000 in the months after Baugh, in January 2010, laid out his mandate.
Anderson worked on Supervisor Janet Nguyen's 2008 campaign and joined her office staff on a part-time basis in 2010, according to Nguyen. The PAC made a maximum contribution to Nguyen, gave money to two of her allies, and gave money to another PAC, the California Homeowners Association, which gave money to another Nguyen ally and spent money to oppose two Nguyen foes.
Nguyen said she was aware that Anderson was setting up the PAC at the time, but was not involved in the decision to set it up and did not discuss potential donors with him.
There was an upside to the "Baugh Manifesto" for OCEA, the employees union, as it no longer had to make contributions to GOP candidates that were often obligatory if the union wanted to have keep lines of communication open with a particular county supervisor or other elected official.
"In some way, it's made things easier," said OCEA spokeswoman Jennifer Muir. "We don't have to give them money."
But it also forced the union to be more creative if it wanted to show its support. Rather than donating money directly to a candidate, the union turned to, among other things, making independent expenditures – such as sending out its own campaign mail for a candidate.
"I think you'll see that we've spent more on independent expenditures since then and less on direct contributions," said OCEA general counsel Don Drozd. That allowed the union to be friendly to favored Republicans at campaign time without getting the candidates in trouble with Baugh.
GOP objective
Baugh said he anticipated the shift to independent expenditures but was satisfied with the effectiveness of the GOP ban.
"It eliminates the situation where a union boss drops off a $5,000 campaign check to a council member one week and shows up to ask for a vote on a Cadillac pension plan the next week," he said. "Moreover, when you force the money through independent expenditures, they become far less efficient and the success is diminished."
Baugh's mention of a quid pro quo reminds me of an oddity I have yet to find evidence of being anything but coincidental:
Five days after Anderson submitted the paperwork to establish his PAC, the county Board of Supervisors voted to continue pursuing a lawsuit against the county deputy sheriffs' union challenging deputies' pension benefits. Nguyen cast the sole dissenting vote, citing the ongoing costs.
The county eventually lost the suit and ended up paying $3.3 million in legal fees, including those incurred by the union. The deputies union is separate from the OCEA.
Targeted seat
Baugh said he remains committed to helping Nguyen's campaign to win state Senate District 34 next year, in the race against Democratic former Assemblyman Jose Solorio. The seat is now held by termed-out Lou Correa, D-Santa Ana, and is considered Republican's best chance to gain the single Senate post needed to break Democrats' two-thirds majority. That majority allows Democrats to raise taxes without a single GOP vote.
"Nobody believes labor unions want Janet Nguyen to beat Jose Solorio," Baugh said.
Another seat attracting Baugh's attention is Senate District 37, now held by Mimi Walters, R-Irvine. Walters is an early frontrunner to win the congressional post being vacated next year by Rep. John Campbell, R-Irvine. Baugh is considering running for Walters' seat if she wins the House race.

Tomatoes were grown in polytunnels, horse manure and comfrey and hand watered.
Galina has proved to be a robust strong tomato with energy enough to support several leaders, I have trained up to 3 or 4 leaders off each plant.
The fruits last well on and off the plant, handling delayed picking well, has also coped with blight well. Reasonable flavour.
Chocolate cherry was poorest on germination and establishment but produces superb tasting large cherry sized fruits. But fruits very prone to splitting and cannot cope with the blight down here in Cornwall.
The St Valery carrots have performed well showing no signs of carrot fly, good yield with excellent flavour.
Skye Grove Organics is run by Kevin Austin, producing fruit and veg for local shops and box schemes to biodynamic standards. The business uses only hand tools and horses, plus allotments to engage the local community. Kevin also works as outdoor crops supervisor at the Eden Project for 11 years and is now leading the estate team.
The seed variety field lab is looking into Open Pollinated (OP) seed varieties available to non-organic growers and trialling them in organic systems with a view to either creating a demand for them organically or saving them on farm for use in subsequent years. The field lab is part of the Duchy Originals Future Farming Programme which is aiming to improve productivity, quality and environmental performance in organic and low-input agriculture.

This is part of the Bobbi Brown Holiday Collection. I instantly fell in love with the colors. I didn't have a khaki palette, so I bought this. I don't own any other Bobbi Brown eye shadows, so I don't know how these compare to the regular collection. I find the pigmentation levels good, but the texture is slightly chalky. Nothing extreme, but still a little surprising for a palette that was just under $50 for 6 shadows. Here are the individual shade reviews:
Bone: This is a matte off white shade. It's good as a highlight under the brow bone
Candlelight: This is a metallic shimmering beige gold. I like it because it isn't too shimmery. I love to wash this over my entire lid for a pick-me up.
Wheat: This is a matte ash beige. I'm actually surprised at how much I love this color. It doesn't look like much in the pan, but it's a really nice medium color for the lid.
Olive: This is a sparkly golden green. It's the reason that I bought the palette. I love the color. I love how the sparkles aren't over-done. I didn't notice any fall-out after I initially applied it, which was great.
Black Topaz: Deep green with subtle gold shimmer. I think it's really pretty and versatile. It can be used as a liner or as a contour color.
Rich Caviar: This is a deep black-brown. I love to wet a liner brush and use this on my lash line. It really defines without being too harsh. It also lasts really long as a liner.

Musings about the latest (and next-but-latest) in social networking.
In the end, it was Scrabble that did it, or rather, the Scrabulous Facebook application. Oh, don't bother clicking on the link unless you are logged into Facebook: non-Facebook users won't get anywhere. This is precisely why it took me so long after all, why I was less than enchanted by open-to-all apps and services behind not-open-to-all URLs. That, and the fact that I come from a non-facebook-making culture, and am well beyond college age: "Facebook" is not a brand name likely to seduce me into joining.
Moreover, I already had all my "keeping in touch with my friends and acquaintances" needs covered several times over. I use over half a dozen email accounts, not counting inactive but still functional ones. Twitter, Flickr, last.fm, Librarything, LinkedIn, Upcoming, 6 to 8 different IM services, IRC and even good old usenet get regular attention from me. And I'm still trying to find a practical use for the otherwise lovely Pownce, and nearly forgot Tumblr, and a bunch of others.
But what changed was that my IRC friends were playing Scrabulous and talking about it; and then some of my work mates from the North American offices started badgering me because they couldn't find me on Facebook. That's when I caved.
It is immediately apparent why Facebook gets so much traction. Importing my various feeds from other social applications and the Yahoo! Pipe that aggregates my own stuff was easily done. My "friends" were already there, and as an added bonus, acquaintances from various online venues were now congregating in that one place (and are available for Scrabulous games). And then my friend Dave wrote his lovely Kanji learning Facebook application, and I was roped in for testing (and making a Kana database).
But Facebook is like a gigantic playroom. Things needed cutting down fast: I decided to end my careers as a werewolf, zombie, vampire and pirate, which led to a message from a co-worker that "since [I] left [his] werewolf army [his] life wasn't the same" any more. Huh. (I'm still available for Scrabble games, of course.)
Looking at the bigger picture, though, the online landscape is now saturating with social software, and the battle for the top-spot in the "everything for everyone" category is not ultimately the most interesting issue. Many sites are targetting particular demographics, and as we move into and out of them, as our interests change and entire sections of the online population move around, we want to take our identities with us, without the hassle of creating everything from scratch. On the same note, in the applications I use for very specific purposes (Zoho, Slideshare, Upcoming …), the core functionality is not the sharing, so to make the social networking bit work, it must be easy and painless. These places may even be temporary (and some of the most useful ones are!), like the web sites around a particular conference, project, or larger social or political issue or event.
Social network portability is an unsolved problem, and so is profile data (and transactional data) privacy, tracking, and use.
Then there's the question of where people will go. They'll go where the fun and useful stuff is — useful to them, in their particular language, for their particular interests — and where those already are who are similar to them. With social sites springing up like mushrooms, the bar is being raised higher and higher. As Steve Eley said in one of his Escape Pod intros (love that podcast, by the way), "If we're not hoping to work together, or sleep together, please don't ask me to join stuff."
In this landscape, the move Google made with their OpenSocial platform and API is a shrewed one. Now I'm not one for hype, and a lot of very smart people didn't wait long to question the "open" in OpenSocial and point to the problems this new API does not solve. But it's nonetheless a shift in the tectonic plates of the social web: the interesting stuff will be where the developers are, and the developers will be where the APIs are — and the less we are walled into individual gardens, the freer we will be to regroup and reconfigure and reinvent new uses of the social online space. And kudos to Google for not trying to create (or buy) the next mega-network, at least right now, but to do something more fundamental than that.

Cordaro granted permission to join new trial motion
SCRANTON - A federal judge granted former Lackawanna County Commissioner Robert Cordaro's request to join in a motion for a new trial filed by his co-defendant, former Commissioner A.J. Munchak.
Mr. Cordaro wrote to Senior U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo last week, seeking permission to join in the motion.
Mr. Munchak's motion seeks a new trial based on allegations that three key witnesses against him lied about why they paid him $60,000. In his letter, Mr. Cordaro said he plans to raise an issue involving "newly discovered evidence." He does not provide any further details of the new evidence.
Mr. Munchak and Mr. Cordaro were convicted in June 2011 of multiple charges relating to the extortion of companies that did business with Lackawanna County while they were majority commissioners.
Judge Caputo on Monday gave Mr. Cordaro until Feb. 27 to file a legal brief in support of his request for a new trial.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Well, after almost 3 weeks Canada Post is up and running again. Please don't ask me my real opinion on the strike/lockout matter. I'm just relieved the service is running again. Look what I found in my mailbox today: our very own Miss Ruby Sue headband! It is so beautiful and well crafted. I had entered a contest over at one of my fave kids blog, Cool Kids and won way back in March. However, with some miscommunication and of course, the postal strike, there was a long delay in delivery. I'm happy to say though, it was worth the wait.
Lori of Miss Ruby Sue had contacted me to ask me what accessory was my choice but it took me over a day of perusing her etsy shop to finally choose one. They're all so incredibly beautiful! I finally chose this beauty because it was smaller and purple which is one of Keira's fave colours. It also goes so well with many of her outfits. I love all the little details. Even underneath, the finishing is well made. There was even a little extra surprise in the box, 3 little hairpins and a lollypop!
Thank you so much Betsy (CoolKids blog) and Lori (Miss Ruby Sue)! Keira loves her new headband and fluffy pins (she especially loved the lolly too). She is hoping to wear it to day camp tomorrow. Lol. I tried on the headband and would love to wear it myself. Take a look at Lori's etsy shop, the photography of each of her items is gorgeous as well as the products she makes themselves. There are even headbands for brides and adults!

Observations Vol. XL
By Chris Cosci
When you return to work after being sick, there tends to be a lot of things waiting for you. You may have dozens of unread e-mail messages to sort through. You may need to return a lot of phone calls. And sometimes, you may return to an angry mob of coworkers who are all after you because they think you owe them millions of dollars. This was the case for Angelito Marquez, the nursing-home nurse who was accused of hoarding a winning lottery ticket worth over $59 million.
Marquez was one of twenty workers at the Newark Health and Extended Care Facility who pooled their money together to buy tickets for the $331 million, April 16 Big Game Lottery drawing. Marquez was put in charge of buying the tickets. After buying the tickets, fate stepped in and gave Marquez the flu. After the winning numbers were announced, the nursing-home crowd became suspicious as to why Marquez wasn't showing up for work.
Instead of waiting for Marquez's illness to pass, the workers came up with a better plan - they hired a lawyer. The lawyer contacted the New Jersey Lottery Commission, claiming that Marquez used his coworkers' money to buy the winning ticket and then decided not to share the wealth. On that same day, Lottery officials received another claim from three lawyers representing the winning ticket holder. They produced the winning ticket, which was declared valid, but they refused to disclose their client's name. Ah, the U.S. legal system - always hard at work.
Within a few short days, things took a strange turn. It started when Marquez, who quickly became one of the most hated men in America, told reporters that he didn't have the winning ticket. Amazingly, nobody believed him. Then, in a you-could-never-script-it-any-better surprise twist, it was announced that someone else claimed the winning ticket. Marquez was telling the truth after all. He never did buy the winning ticket.
So, what went wrong? Oh, if there were only one answer to this question...
Let's start with the nursing-home employees. With no proof, no evidence, and no real case for themselves, they hired a lawyer to attack their coworker. Somehow, they must have trusted Marquez enough in the first place to give him a lot of money to buy lottery tickets. Then, when he calls in sick, they think he's lying. How does that happen? Their trust just disappeared. On top of that, their accusation was based on an assumption.
What about the lawyers for the actual winner, Jorge Lopes? When they contacted Lottery officials as the lawyers for the winning ticket holder, they wouldn't claim whether or not Marquez was their client. All they had to do was say, "our client does not wish to reveal himself at this time, but we can tell you that it's not Angelito Marquez." Think of how much frustration this would have saved. Instead, they said nothing and let the workers, their lawyer, and the media blow the story out of proportion.
That brings us to the media. Leave it to reporters to print stories before getting their facts straight. The reason so many people were mad at Marquez was because the media was reporting the story as if Marquez definitely held the winning ticket. They based all of their stories on the same assumptions the nursing-home employees were using. Marquez never officially claimed the winning ticket, and he was probably the most honest person of them all.
In the end, justice was served. Marquez quietly went back to work. After all of their complaining, his coworkers hung their heads as they found out their actual winnings were a meager two dollars. And the media has shifted their focus on the real winners. So, the question remains, did anybody learn anything from this experience? Probably not.

The very best attractions tell a unified story from beginning to end, and a great example of this is the Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye.
Imagineers call the queue for an attraction "Act I" of the story. This is where the stage is set and the story begins to be told. The Disneyland Encyclopedia says, "At over a quarter-mile long, this would be the longest, and most densely detailed, queue in Disneyland history."
From the moment you cross the entry (under the sign) of the Indiana Jones Adventure and enter the attraction's environment you are immersed in the story of an ancient temple, recently found by Indiana Jones—who has now disappeared. The overgrown foliage, stuttering generator, strange markings throughout the temple, strange noises, and more all tell the story. There are even some hidden surprises—many of which get completely bypassed now thanks to FASTPASS.
Here are 3 "fun facts" about the Indiana Jones Adventure queue that you may not know:
- The back of the projector room contains a tribute to what previously sat in this location: the Eeyore section of the parking lot. It's virtually impossible to see unaided, but try asking a Cast Member by the projector screen to shine a flashlight for you.
- The exit queue has two props from the movies. The truck was used in Raiders of the Lost Ark (in the desert chase scene) and the ore car just to the left of the interior exit was used in Temple of Doom.
- From when the attraction opened in 1995 until 2002, guests were given decoder cards for the hieroglyphic-like "maraglyphs" throughout the queue, warning visitors of the rewards and "dangers" they will face. They haven't been distributed since--though I still have one--but you might still be able to translate them: most of the characters resemble their English counterparts (except for the "i", which looks like an eye). Try it next time!
|It's seen better days, but this is the decoder card that I still have! You can print this out and discover the secrets
of the temple on your next visit!
For you to discover: There are at least four "hidden Mickeys" in the queue. One is on a Life magazine in Dr. Indiana Jones' office (just past the projector room), which is now bypassed. Where are the others?

The Whisky Trail
The Whisky Trail
The Strathspey trail takes in six working distilleries – Benromach, Cardhu, Glenfiddich, Glen Grant, The Glenlivet and Strathisla together with the Speyside Cooperage where you can actually see the barrels being made. This can be an interesting, informative day out for all the family with a guided tour of a distillery where you can see, nose and taste the whisky produced, and learn how it is 'married' before the final aging process begins. The start of an exciting journey discovering one of Scotland's biggest exports.
This is a Speyside single malt whisky matured in hand selected oak casks. Benromach was founded in 1898 and is the smallest working distillery in Speyside. Situated on the outskirts of Forres, it is a little further to travel but most certainly worthy of a visit. Guided tours available. www.benromach.com
The Glen of the river Fiddich gives its name to this biggest-selling single malt whisky in the world. The distillery lies on the river Fiddich (meaning that the river runs through the valley of the deer), in Dufftown. This small but world famous distillery was founded in 1886-87 and is still owned by the original family. It is a limited company with its own bottling line on site, producing mature malts some of great value and age. A new product from this distillery is Glenfiddich Malt Whisky Liquer. This certainly has to be tasted. www.glenfiddich.com
Glen Grant
Created in 1840 Glen Grant has a distinctive taste and pale golden colour unlike the richness of colour normally enjoyed by other single malt whiskies. The interesting process of discovering how this whisky is made together with learning the history of the guardian, Major James Grant (the only distillery named after its owners), make this an unforgettable experience. Enjoy the Victorian Woodland Garden and a free dram in the thatched pavilion. Gift Shop and Exhibition. www.glenlivethouse.co.uk
Cardhu, on a hillside near the Spey, was rebuilt by one of several women prominent in the whisky industry in 1872. Elizabeth Cumming's family were involved with the Johnnie Walker blends which contain Cardhu malt whisky. Recently, however, a single malt Cardhu has been produced and in 1998 a Rare Malts edition. www.malts.com
The distillery is situated on the River Livet which flows into the Spey, deep in the mountains. A prime site as regards water and climate conditions, as the very cold water off the mountains is ideal for the condensers. The malt whiskies produced are of a rare and elegant quality from the most famous whisky producing area in the world. A product greatly influenced by history and politics and the facts regarding domestic and illicit distillation. www.theglenlivet.com
Last in our list but not the least - this is the oldest distillery in the north of Scotland which has been producing whisky since 1786. Dominican monks used the same water, in the13th century, in their beer brewing. The whisky, which has a dry, fruity, oaky taste, is a main contributor to Chivas Regal blend. www.chivas.com

Named after the River Exe and covering 692 sq. km. of countryside, Exmoor National Park nestles between West Somerset and North Devon. Designated National park status in 1954, the park is home to over 10,500 people and is rich in ancient oak woodland, deep river valleys, dramatic rugged coastline in the North and an abundance of charming and attractive villages and towns.
There is a wide range of recreation activities on offer including walking, riding, fishing and cycling as well as more specialist activities such as deer or bird watching. The Brendons and the Quantock Hills offer large expanses of heathland, woods and river valleys (called 'combes') ideal for country walks.
Numerous castles, houses and gardens can be explored as well as the more popular tourist attractions such as Tarr Steps - the ancient 'clapper' bridge over the magical River Barle - and the medieval village of Dunster dominated by its famous castle. Finish the day in a country pub or a coastal seafood restaurant sampling some fine locally sourced produce.
Although one of the smaller National parks, Exmoor offers the visitor large areas that are unspoilt and peaceful. The park is home to the rare breed of Exmoor pony and to some of the finest herds of red deer in Europe which roam the park freely. From bats to badgers and the 'mewing' of the buzzards circling above high in the air, Exmoor has an abundance of wildlife to interest nature lovers.
Historically Exmoor has inspired many people and has many strong literary connections – Doone Country which is the area centred around Badgworthy Water inspired Blackmore's famous novel Lorna Doone. The beautiful coastal village of Porlock stirred the imagination of the likes of Wordsworth and Coleridge – the latter composed his famous poem 'Kubla Khan' on a nearby farm.
From the pretty villages of Porlock and Lynmouth, to Dulverton and Exford, Exmoor is a place of great hospitality which enjoys hosting traditional local festivals, village fairs, beach activities and special events and celebrations.
All year round Exmoor is host to a variety of art events from theatre and concerts in Minehead to weekends of music, entertainment and dancing like that at the famous 'Dunster by Candlelight' event in December.

THERE'S (SOME OF) A NEW FUCKING MADONNA ALBUM ON iTUNES
2014 A-Z: H is for HALF-FINISHED SONGS
It's fair to say that Madonna hasn't exactly kept her recording sessions a secret. And it would be easy to say that if you're going to spend a year building up demand for a new album, you shouldn't be surprised if someone, somewhere, does something to meet that demand.
But on the other hand, that's bollocks. Nicking an album and putting it online when it's not ready just isn't on. Clips and maybe one or two tracks is alright. A whole album is just absurd.
Anyway, here are some songs we all know to be amazing, which didn't sound quite so amazing to start with.
Lady Gaga – 'Bad Romance'
Backstreet Boys – 'I Want It That Way'
Girls Aloud – 'Something Kinda Ooooh!'
Pet Shop Boys – 'West End Girls'
Madonna – 'Deeper & Deeper'
Madonna – 'The Power Of Good-Bye'
Madonna – 'Hung Up'
Fleur East – 'Uptown Funk'
All those songs sound pretty good in their unfinished states, of course, but the finished versions were better. And if we'd heard all these versions before we heard the final ones, would we ever have fallen quite so deeply in love with the songs?
(The exception to that point is 'Bad Romance', which did leak ahead of the proper one, but that's the best song of the millennium and it would have been amazing even if your first listen had been Lady Gaga shouting it down a paper tube in a shopping centre.)

I'm sure all distros would consider shipping a patch if one existed.
because you are wrong. Jpeg2000 is A LOT better than jpeg.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_2000#Features *shrug* Seems to be better than JPEG mostly on limited-bandwidth scenarios. If you're free to use as much space as you want for the images, difference is negligible.
>Compared to the previous JPEG standard, JPEG 2000 delivers a typical compression gain in the range of 20%, depending on the image characteristics. Higher-resolution images tend to benefit more, where JPEG-2000's spatial-redundancy prediction can contribute more to the compression process. In very low-bitrate applications, studies have shown JPEG2000 to be outperformed[2] by the intra-frame coding mode of H.264. Good applications for JPEG 2000 are large images, images with low-contrast edges — e.g., medical images.

(This is Jasper, since that's what ImageMagick uses. Unfortunately, it looks like the other library OpenJpeg is just as slow. OpenJpeg 2.0 may be faster, but it's still in the alpha stage.)
Unless you're downloading a very big image to a very fast PC on a very slow connection, I'm not convinced it's worth it.
Why would image conversion rate have any significance as to whether it should be adopted or not? Surely the only important part is how fast it's rendered.

Stream Torrent 1.0 Build 0078
The main advantage of such an application is that it doesn't need a server to transfer data because computers are directly connected so it all depends on the speed of the two Internet connections. It simply plays the streaming torrents after you add the desired address to the list.
Seamless setup and simple GUI
Installing Stream Torrent is really piece of cake because the setup kit follows the same principle as the rest of the application: simplicity. The interface is clean and user friendly, which means the application can be used by both beginners and more experienced users alike.
Look for streams, import entire lists and publish your own items
Just hit the Search button, write down a keyword to look for available stream and double click the one you like. If you intend to use Stream Torrent just for viewing and not also for streaming, it all comes down to this.
The application also enables you to easily add stream addresses or import entire lists in XML format. Of course you can also export the channels in your list for quick access. Another handy function of this utility is its ability to help you publish your own live stream.
Evaluation and conclusion
All things considered, Stream Torrent is probably the easiest way to take advantage of BitTorrent technology when it comes to live streaming. You just need to find the channels you are interested in and add them to the queue. The response time is quite good, the computer's performance might be affected a tad, yet our tests did not reveal any errors, hangs or freezes.

Accountability: Do high-stakes systems raise student achievement? - Access related research titles from the ECS Research Studies Database. Links embedded in titles will take you to each study's major findings and recommendations....Changing the Metrics of Turnaround to Encourage Early Learning Strategies - Changing the Metrics of Turnaround to Encourage Early Learning Strategies and the previously released Framework for Rethinking Education Accountability and Support Birth Through High School address how current K-12 turnaround and accountability policies create a disincentive to local investment in early learning and K-2. So far, accountability and turnaround have focused on student test scores third grade and up as the primary measure of progress, ignoring what goes on in the early learning and K-2. But its the first years of life that are the most important to development. (Elliott Regenstein et al., Ounce of Prevention, September 2014)...Designing the Next Generation of State Education Accountability Systems - First-generation accountability systems need to be redesigned, according to this report. They are challenged by multiple and overlapping purposes, have little value in driving improvement, are excessively complex and may be producing unintended consequences. However, redesign is to be desired and there was broad consensus at a meeting of experts about what a new model would look like. (Mark Toner, Center on Reinventing Public Education, September 2014)...Leaders & Laggards: A State-by-State Report Card on K-12 Education - With the idea that business has a stake in workforce quality, the U.S. Chamber has come out with state-by state grades on a variety of measures: academic achievement, academic achievement for low-income/minority, return on investment, truth in advertising: student proficiency, postsecondary and workforce readiness, 21st century teacher force, parental options, data quality, technology, international competitiveness and fiscal responsibility. (U.S. Chamber of Commerce, September 2014)
...Fixing Our National Accountability System - Calling for a greater role for state education agencies, Marc Tucker writes that our current system of accountability is punitive to the point that teacher morale is low, teachers are leaving for more rewarding, lucrative professions, and fewer students are applying to education schools. His solution is to test less and use data from the tests to identify struggling schools, which state education agencies then would help. Teachers wouldn't be judged by students' scores, but would be part of a professional team, helping each other to greater student achievement. It is a model used by more successful education systems in other countries. (Marc S. Tucker, National Center on Education and the Economy, August 2014)...Virtual Schools: Assessing Progress and Accountability: Final Report of Study Findings - In assessing progress and accountability in virtual schools, follow the same protocol for all schools: focus on outcomes and track student growth throughout the year. Because students may be highly mobile, use on-demand assessments, and because they may be overage and undercredited, create accountability systems that are rigorous but sensible. Make sure student data can be portable from school to school and ramp up positive and negative consequences attached to performance. (Gillian Locke et al., National Charter School Resource Center, February 2014)...Don't Count Us Out: How An Overreliance on Accountability Could Undermine the Public's Confidence in Schools, Business, Government, and More - This report describes a potentially corrosive gap between the way leaders in government, business, education, health care and other sectors define accountability and the way typical Americans think about it. (Kettering Foundation and Public Agenda, August 2011)...Getting Value Out of Value-Added: Report of a Workshop - Value-added methods refer to efforts to estimate the relative contributions of specific teachers, schools or programs to student test performance. The National Research Council and the National Academy of Education held a workshop, summarized in this volume, to help identify areas of emerging consensus and areas of disagreement regarding appropriate uses of value-added methods, in an effort to provide research-based guidance to policy makers who are facing decisions about whether to proceed in this direction. (National Academy of Sciences, January 2010)...Mining the Opportunities in "Differentiated Accountability": Lessons From the No Child Left Behind Pilots in Four States - This report is based on CEP's review of differentiated accountability documents and interviews with a selection of state, district and school officials in Georgia, Maryland, New York and Ohio. The report notes the key findings which emerged, the common themes across the states, and describes the detail the differentiated accountability systems in the four states. (Center on Education Policy, August 2009)...
