Between 1940 and 1973, six American presidents from both political parties—Franklin Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Nixon—secretly recorded on tape just under 5,000 hours of their meetings and telephone conversations. The Miller Center's Presidential Recordings Program is a unique effort aimed at making these remarkable historical sources accessible.
We've compiled some new transcripts from the 1962 and 1966 mid-term elections.
Veteran journalist Daniel Schorr died on July 23, 2010. During the Nixon White House years, Schorr so earned president's ire that he was placed on Nixon's infamous enemies list. Below are some excerpts from the Nixon tapes concerning Schorr.
The Senate's longest-serving member, Senator Robert Byrd, Democrat of West Virginia, died on June 28, 2010.
There are only a few conversations in the White House tapes in which Byrd was a participant, some of which are compiled here.
A roundup of some of the press mentions of PRP scholars and work in the past month or so, including Slate.com, POLITICO, WashingtonPost.com, The Atlantic, and the Daily Progress.
With controversies swirling about the Obama White House's apparent efforts to dissuade Joe Sestak and Andrew Romanoff from running for election, we have examples from both Democratic and Republican White Houses trying to influence primaries through job offers.
Fred Malek's 1971 memo for Richard Nixon listing Jews in the Bureau of Labor Statistics has landed him in much controversy before, and new documents highlighted in recent days by Slate.com and the Washington Post have intensified that controversy. In this clip from the Nixon tapes, the President issues orders for Malek to "see what we can do about" Jews in the federal government.
Future Supreme Court justice Abe Fortas, on a secret mission to Puerto Rico at President Johnson's behest, gives the President an update on the latest efforts to bring peace and stability to the Dominican Republic. Because the calls were coming in over an unencrypted line, Fortas and Johnson used a variety of ad hoc codes in an attempt to disguise at least to some degree the topics of their conversations. Part way through, the call is gatecrashed by some uninvited guests, and Fortas tries desperately to get their attention and get them off the line.
Clifford Hardin, Secretary of Agriculture in the Nixon administration, died April 4, 2010. We have published a few transcripts involving or mentioning Hardin.
President Johnson's tapes provide a remarkable inside look at city, state, and federal government officials struggling to establish control over the civil unrest in large, urban cities such as Detroit, Washington DC, and Chicago in the wake of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King.
The archivists at the LBJ Library have recently won a prestigious award for their multi-year processing of the LBJ telephone tapes. We extend our hearty congratulations to the team for this well-deserved recognition of their efforts in making these remarkable tapes available.
Alexander Haig, Jr., dies on February 20. Haig, Jr., served in several capacities in the Nixon administration, including as Deputy National Security Adviser (1970-73), Vice Chief of Staff of the Army (1973), and White House Chief of Staff (1973-74). He later became Secretary of State in the Reagan∇ administration (1981-82).
Haig appears frequently on the Nixon tapes, and we've put together a selection of notable instances.
Through their interactions with the White House while Congressmen, Senators, or Governors, several future presidents have been captured on the White House tapes. For Presidents Day, we have pulled together some of the recorded conversations with Gerald Ford∇, Ronald Reagan∇, and Richard Nixon∇ before they moved into the Oval Office.
Former Senator Charles "Mac" Mathias, Republican of Maryland, has passed away. Mathias was frequently at odds with his fellow Republicans--not the least, President Richard Nixon∇--something reflected in the conversations in the Nixon tapes in which he is mentioned. Below are some Nixon tapes conversations in which he is mentioned.
For Black History Month we have released some new transcripts of conversations between Dr. Martin Luther King and President Johnson from 1965.
We have collected transcripts and summaries of conversations recorded on the Nixon tapes involving or mentioning former Virginia governor Linwood Holton. When he assumed office in 1970, Holton became the first Republican governor of the state since 1874.

To file a claim: You must fill out a form called a "Request for Arbitration" - we can do this for you - and send it to the Florida Attorney General. This form, provided it's sent on time, will allow your claim to be considered for a hearing.

Fredericksburg will be on its way to getting a roundabout on Lafayette Boulevard if City Council grants a rezoning request for the Telegraph Hill development on Tuesday.
The council is expected to approve a request to rezone nearly 22 acres along Lafayette across from Lee Drive, the entrance to the Fredericksburg battlefield. The zoning would change from light industrial, general industrial and residential to planned mixed-use development.
That would enable Fredericksburg LLC to combine that property with an adjoining 24 acres to create Telegraph Hill, a town-center-style development that would include commercial, retail and residential units.
Fredericksburg Park LLC is a group of investors led by managing member David Horstick.
The property to be rezoned sits across Lafayette Boulevard from Lee Drive, which is the entrance to the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park.
Initially, a stop signal was proposed there to serve the new street that will be the entrance to the development.
Instead, if the rezoning is approved, the developers will build a traffic roundabout at that location, which was viewed as a safer alternative and also serve as an entrance to the National Park Service historic site.
The developer also will expand Lafayette Boulevard to four lanes along the length of the project.
The council approval is the last formal action needed before the roundabout becomes a certainty, Public Works Director Doug Fawcett said Friday. The next step will be for the developer's engineers to submit a design for city staff to review.
Roundabouts or traffic circles are in use elsewhere locally, but Fawcett could think of none nearby that are built on a slope such as at Lafayette Boulevard at Lee Drive.
"We will be very interested to see how they address that issue," Fawcett said.
As they build, Telegraph Hill's developers will be required to protect the battlefield lines of sight and cannot build any structure taller than four stories.
Telegraph Hill would stretch from south of Lee Drive to Alum Spring Drive.
The 24 acres, which are zoned residential, have already been subdivided into 79 single-family lots and have approval to go forward.
The 22 acres to be rezoned would have a maximum of 350 residential units—none of which will be single-family—and a maximum of 350,000 square feet of commercial space, according to city documents.
On Oct. 30, the Planning Commission voted 6–1 to recommend approval of the rezoning.
Four people spoke at the commission's public hearing. Two spoke at the council's hearing on Nov. 26.
None of them opposed the rezoning. However, concerns were raised about safety of the roundabout.
A preliminary study presented in September suggested peak-hour traffic would move through the intersection faster with a roundabout than a stop light.
Also on Tuesday, City Council will hold six public hearings including a request from Lincoln Terminal Co. to convert the Quarles Petroleum site into a storage and distribution facility for gas, biodiesel and ethanol.
Quarles Petroleum currently operates a propane distribution facility on 10.2 acres at 1500 Beulah Salisbury Road off Dixon Street.
If the council approves an amendment to a special-use permit, Quarles would sell the property to Lincoln Terminal and move its operation across the street to the 2.47-acre site where Service Tire Truck Center now operates. That property is in neighboring Spotsylvania County.
The Planning Commission voted in support of the amendment at its Dec. 11 meeting. It had initially delayed action to allow residents of the Mayfield community to have their concerns addressed.
After representatives from Quarles and Lincoln Terminal attended a Mayfield Civic Association meeting in November, residents were satisfied with the proposal and safeguards in place.
The site is along the Rappahannock River beside Dixon Park and across the street from Mayfield.
Lincoln Terminal, owned by Lincoln Energy Solutions Inc. of Greenville, S.C., plans to invest $7 million to convert the Quarles site, including installing six additional tanks and adding landscaping.

There's the Rub
Heart of the matterBy Conrado de Quiros
It's one of those fortitude-challenging predicaments in this country that you don't just have to win once, you have to win them again and again. Reproductive Health (RH) is one of them.
It's one of those fortitude-challenging predicaments in this country that you don't just have to win once, you have to win them again and again. Reproductive Health (RH) is one of them.
The efforts of the diocese in Bacolod to malign the senators who voted for the Reproductive Health bill have taken a bit of a comical turn. As most everyone knows by now, a month or so ago the San Sebastian Church in Bacolod City hung a tarpaulin on walls putting two groups of senators under the headings "Team Patay" and "Team Buhay." After the Commission on Elections remonstrated with it for violating election rules on the size of posters—this one went well past the norm—the diocese decided to cut it in half though one still coming after the other, thereby emphasizing the divide all the more.
Does the Commission on Elections have the power to order churches to take down posters hanging on church walls expressing their views about the Reproductive Health Law and senatorial preferences? The Bacolod diocese says no, and other dioceses are threatening to follow. I too would say no.
Cheese corn—it's one of the comfort foods that a typical University of the Philippines student like me, or maybe even people not in UP, can relate to. I think no one can resist boiled corn kernels in a soup oozing with melted margarine and cheese powder. Om nom nom, indeed. But to be honest, I kind of don't want to see the cheese corn vendor anymore.
Amando Doronila, in his Dec. 21 column, referred to the failure of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) to sway the vote of Congress against the reproductive health bill, despite extensive mobilizations, as a debacle.

IPOs and Employment

This paper studies the relation between the going public decision and employment growth experienced by IPO firms. We find that a typical IPO firm in our sample hires twice more employees around its IPO than during its life as a private firm. The number of employees increases at an average annual rate of 39% during the two-year period around the IPO. Evidence shows that the most likely channel through which IPO firms can increase their employment is the relaxation of financial constraints, allowing firms to access both equity and debt markets for better funding of their growth opportunities and investment in human capital. We also examine the relation between employment growth and firm performance: IPO firms with greater employment growth exhibit better performance and lower delisting probability. Overall, these results highlight the importance of the IPO event and access to public capital markets for job creation by US firms.

Mixing Bowls & Food Bowls
Tips from the Experts: "Make sure you know in advance the applications you will be using your mixing bowl for. Things like acids, hot sauces (both in temperature and in spice), and red sauce can create pin sized holes in thin metal mixing bowls. For things like tossing wings, it's better to use a heavier gauge bowl." - Mike

Meet the Man Responsible for Klouchebag.com
From the UK, Tom Scott last Friday afternoon launched his delightful goof klouchebag.com, a send-up of San Francisco-based Twitter influence meter klout.com. Within a few hours, media types in LA were tweeting out their "Klouchebag" rating.
"I had the idea the day before [Thursday], after reading this article in Wired," Scott tells FishbowlLA via email. "I'd been annoyed with the idea of Klout for a while, and that crystalized it. The site was built in a couple of hours of spare time."
There is no real science behind Scott's latest project, taglined "The Standard for Asshattery." Or, as the 27-year-old Brit puts it in his front-page FAQ , his service 'is about as scientific as Klout's own measurements — which is to say, it's pretty much a crapshoot.'

Practicing the PresenceWe're not meant to run from one thing to another without focus, without peace, without direction. We need to stop, breathe, be quiet, and listen with our hearts. Several years ago a Methodist pastor urged all laypersons attending a training meeting to be aware of how mightily God wants us to be in personal relationship and communication with each one of them. The pastor went on to encourage spending a goodly portion of our prayer time listening. His encouragement echoes the intention of a 6th century set of instructions for all men and women seeking to live the Christian life fully. This document is still in use today and governs the life of many Christian orders--it is the rule of St. Benedict. The Rule contains much wisdom and practical guidance. St. Benedict opens the Rule with these words: "Listen with the ear of your heart."
So, how does one listen with the ear of one's heart? A number of prayer forms have evolved over the centuries that enhance our spiritual listening. Often referred to as contemplation or meditation, these brief exercises include a guided time of silent meditation, a time to journal, and then a time to share with others in the group--if you wish to share.
Here at the Church of the Good Shepherd we have a small group, Practice the Presence, that prays together in this way. Our group is composed of persons invited to join us at any time they are available. This is a drop-in group. So do come when you are able. We meet for one hour at 1 p.m. each Thursday in Room 7.
For more information, please contact Joe Matney at 703-264-7885 or email@example.com. We would be happy to add your name to our email distribution list which sends out each week's meditation for your use.

Santa Rosa Beach, FL--Call it a rather nice distinction for one of this area's 1A schools. The athletic program at South Walton High School
has won the F-H-S-A-A's Academic Team Championship in the 1-A class for spring 2011-12.
The award based on 62 total points, which come from the overall grade point averages of all the school's spring sports teams.
Freeport second 15 points behind, three other area schools round out the top five in that class. No other area school finishing top ten in any of the other classes, so South Walton really standing out among the state's best. Below is the top five listing with the schools and the point totals they accumulated.
FHSAA Academic Team Champions

Forget the coffee. If you really need a jolt, just look at your credit card statement after purchasing a $450 gift card...for coffee.
The Starbucks Metal Card, an etched stainless steel gift card, comes loaded with $400, but costs $450. The extra $50 charge is thanks to the actual production cost of the card -- think of it as your "I'm the 1%" coffee tax.
The limited-edition card (the company will only make 5,000) is good for drinks, food, and merchandise at Starbucks locations, and comes with instant gold-level membership, which includes perks like a free birthday drink. (What?! No cake?) Plus, it elicits eyerolls and/or jealous glances from fellow Starbucks customers.
According to USA Today's math, the gift card equals 119 Grande lattes or 205 Grande brewed coffees, which almost takes care of your workday caffeine fix for a whole year.
This isn't the first over-the-top offering from the coffee giant. The company recently introduced a $7 large cup of joe made from an exotic blend of beans that's only being brewed in Seattle and Portland.
The Starbucks Metal Card will go on sale starting tomorrow at noon EST, but will only be available for purchase via the luxury goods website, Gilt.com, not your local Starbucks.
One thing the card doesn't offer? That the barista will get your name right.

Agent Injured When Indiana Home Explodes
A real estate agent was preparing to show a vacant home to a family in Gary, Ind., when the home exploded, seriously injuring the agent.
Patricia Conforti, 51, an agent with RE/MAX Integrity Group in Merrillville, Ind., was rushed to a hospital. Her condition is unknown. The prospective buyers–a family with young children–had not yet arrived at the home for the showing.
"It sounded like a bomb," a neighbor, who lives across the street, told the Post-Tribune of Merrillville about the house explosion. Neighbors described brick and glass flying into the air, followed by a woman's screams.
The cause of the explosion is unknown at this time and still under investigation. The Northern Indiana Public Service Co. said that servicers were at the home earlier in the day to turn the gas on.
Law enforcement officials caution that a "rotten egg" smell is added to natural gas as a warning when gas leaks are present. If you ever smell that odor, you should exit the home and seek help immediately.

Funeral Card Friday - Maria Beisbier
I just love the German funeral cards I have! I particularly love it when funeral cards (of any language) when they have pictures on them. I do get a giggle out of the stern look on her face. It's commonplace to smile when getting your picture taken today, but apparently not always! Or perhaps she wasn't very happy in general, although I'd hate to think that.
4 comments:
I always wondered about the not smiling thing myself. I think it has to do with photography back then...didn't it take a long time to get a picture? Maybe they got tired of smiling and got grumpy!!! Hmm...ReplyDelete
Yeah, they did have to stay still for awhile, but I can't remember when that all changed. Her look is quite surly though :) Mine probably would be tooReplyDelete
I know I already said it once, but I'll say it again. I'm so jealous of your collection!! They are all absolutely beautiful. You're right, she does look pretty "surly". I have some women like that in my family too. :)ReplyDelete
It was almost a straight out frown! Hey you've got an awesome collection of pictures and great stories!ReplyDelete
Wait until Tuesday...I'm excited about my post. Came up with my own theme and am happy with it so far.

Puck's Potion
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Exposure to the Potion
The potion, supposedly a good thing, has not been tested by the FDA. In other words it could either cause you to fall in love with someone (possibly yourself, there's always that risk) or to break out in horrible green boils all over your body...yes, even there. Take the potion at your own risk.
edit Effects of the Potion
Puck's Potion has a degenerative effect on your health as you will find yourself singing about "the power of the flower" and unless you are in Nebraska (aka...hell) at the time you might be attacked by some random samurai pickle with a sledgehammer.
If you find yourself under the influence of Puck's potion you should buy yourself some ear plugs as to avoid the horror of the "Manhattan Island Breeze," as it BURNS. Not only does the name bring about the mental aroma of rotting sewage and unidentified garbage-eating rodents, the song itself is not much better. If you continue to suffer from this horrible affliction, call your doctor immediately and then stuff your head in a gas oven, completely eliminating any beneficial effects your doctor might have.
edit Early Warning Signs
One of the early warning signs that you might be infected by the potion is that you are going to Chaparral high school. this epidemic swept the school in the late 2005-2006 year. Many of the people here have built up an immunity to it, but newcomers beware of the aftermath and sweeping destruction of the Thespian bank account.
Another early sign of infection is a strange, unexplained obsession with purple flowers. If you feel the need to buy the cool purple-flower-converse, you know that you have reached the highest state of infection and should seek help immediately, or after you bought the shoes.
edit Puck's Position
Unfortunately, some people with deodorant-application issues (read: Dana) and lack-o-deodorant disorder happen to confuse the word 'Potion' with 'Position,' implying that the show is about some pose or geographical location, which couldn't be further from the truth. (What the Erf???) Of course, that's not what YOU were thinking, but we're trying to keep it clean for the children.
edit The many wonderful uses of Puck
As you might have noticed further up in this article, the main character's name of Puck is quite helpful in many variations of the English language. If you are a Prude (chill the fuck out dude) and want to avoid using the "F word" then feel free to tell your friends that you are going to "puck them" or to go "puck off"
Pucking, the actual act of Pucking, is fun. To do the act of Pucking correctly takes years of experience as well as the strength of character and diligence to continue pucking even when you don't know what you are doing or how it will turn out. Pucking is more fun with a friend, but if you can't find anyone to Puck with you it is possible to do it alone. If you are new at Pucking, don't worry if it's bad the first few times, practice makes pucking perfect.

If God is all knowing and he knows our future, then how is that free will?
by Matt Slick
God knows the future of what the free will creatures choose. Free will does not stop becoming free because God knows what will happen. For example, I know that my child will choose to eat chocolate cake over a bowl full of stinking dead mice. If I were to set them both before my child, it is safe to say she will not eat the dead mice. Knowing this is not taking away the freedom of my child since she is freely choosing one over the other. Likewise, for God to know what a person will choose does not mean that the person has no freedom to make the choice. It simply means that God knows what the person will choose. This is necessarily so since God knows all things (1 John 3:20). Besides, if a person were to choose A instead of C, then that is what God would have known would happen.
Furthermore, if God knows all things and knows what we are going to choose, then by definition, we are still making the choice; after all, the argument says that God knows what "we are going to choose." If we are going to "choose something," then we really are making the choice--otherwise it wouldn't be logical to assert that God knows what we are going to choose. Choice implies the ability to decide between different options. Again, by definition if God is knowing what we are going to choose, then He knows what we are going to choose between options . . . otherwise we are not choosing anything, and the statement is illogical.
But, the question is why does he know? Does he know because he is a good guesser or because he can see the future, or is it because he ordains all things after the counsel of his will (Eph. 1:11)? It is the latter. God knows all things because he is the one who chose to bring the universe into existence with all that would occur. This means that it is God's will to allow sin to operate in the world. But, he does not sit idly by and watch things happen. He knew what would happen with the created world because he is the one who put everything in place; otherwise, nothing would've happened. This can be enigmatic, but it is true. God is the sovereign, and all things in the universe exist within the direct will and/or permissive will of God.
Back to the bowl of dead mice. The father, however, is not omniscient where God is. But does this difference negate the analogy? Not at all. Knowing what a person will do still does not force them or limit them to doing what is known. Some people assert that if God knows what we are going to do, then we don't have "real" freedom. They try to state logically that God's foreknowledge of an event somehow limits the event and the choice of the individual. The complaint implies that there is an action by God upon a person that negates His freedom to choose. It would be up to the complainer to establish some logical connection between what God knows will happen and the mind of the one who makes a choice, so that the mind of the person making the choice no longer is making a choice. It seems that the critics are saying that the choice-maker is affected by God's knowledge to such an extent that his freedom is lost. If that is the case, then can they prove this logically? If not, then how can they maintain their position?
God's knowing what we will choose is a function of His omnipresence since He is in all places all the time. If He were not, He would not know what choices we were freely going to make. To deny that God is all-knowing, even of the choices we make, is to deny His omnipresence and reduce God's nature to something more like ourselves, which would be a mistake.
Nevertheless, some people try to claim that God does not know what we will freely choose. But, this cannot be since it would violate the biblical teaching that God knows all things.
Following is taken from an email complaining that God's foreknowledge means we have no free will. The person wrote six points. I reproduced them and have inserted comments in green below the points.
- God knows every decision that I am going to make tomorrow.
- Correct.
- For sake of simplicity, let's assume that I am going to make only one decision tomorrow. My decision will be whether or not to go to my aerobics class at the gym.
- A decision is a choice about something that you want to do or believe. It is drawing a conclusion while considering the options. Your statement that you are going to make the decision means that you admit that you are the one making the choice. By definition then, you are freely choosing to do something. Therefore, to later say that you have no choice in what you are doing is a contradiction of your statement here.
- God knows what decision I will make. He has it written on his "list."
- There is no "list" that God has anywhere of the things that anyone is going to do. The knowledge of God is not a list. It is simply necessarily complete since He knows all things. This is because God's nature requires that He know all things since He is everywhere all the time: the past, present, and future.
- His "list" can't be wrong.
- This is not an issue of the list being wrong. It is simply a fact that God knows all things. Whatever you choose to do is what God knows will happen. If you chose not to go to the class, then that is what God would have known would be your choice. So, whichever choice you freely make is the one God knows you will make.
- Furthermore, the "list" will always be right. That is, it is always right because it is a list of the free will choices you want to make. Read below . . .
- If his "list" says I am going to my aerobics class, I must go.
- The problem here is that the idea of a list introduces the error that there is a set list of things that the person must accomplish because it is on a list for them to do. This is not the case. You do not go to the gym because it is on the list that you must fulfill. It is simply an advance recording of what you will do based on the choices you will freely make.
- A better understanding of the "list" idea would be if God wrote a list of the things you did after you did them. He can do this since He is in the future and can look back from the future to see what you chose to do at any time. Time is relative to God. Because you have already done them freely (from God's future perspective looking backward), the list can be made accurately by God. Since He is also in the past and present, He can even show us this list in advance . . . only for Him it happened a long time ago as He watched you freely do what you wanted to do. So, since God is in all places at all time, He can look back in time to get the list and then even reveal it in advance to you. It would be a list of things you freely chose to do--or should I say that you will freely choose to do.
- The fact that "I must go" is incompatible with the statement that I am free to decide whether to go or not to go.
- There is no "must" in this situation. You will freely choose.
- There is no incompatibility at all if we see that God simply knows what our choices are going to be before we make them since it is necessarily true that He knows all things.
- Furthermore, this idea of God's knowledge and peoples' freedom is ultimately an unanswerable issue since it involves us working in time, and God is outside of time. Our question deals with a situation from a perspective inside of time where God is outside of time. By default, our questions and answers concerning this issue cannot be complete. Past, present, and future are concepts and realities created for us--not for God.

Feb 13 - Parascript LLC, a machine print, handprint and cursive recognition technology provider, has joined the Laserfiche Professional Developer Partnership program. As part of the partnership, Parascripts FormXtra software will now integrate with Laserfiche technology to enable recognition of cursive, as well as hand-printed, information from paper forms. The integration will give value added resellers; enterprises; federal, state and local governments access to, often untapped and frequently the most challenging, information to be recognized from paper documents at a much lower cost than with manual entry.
While we have found, from experience and research with AIIM, that the majority of businesses do perform document capture, most do not automate hand print or cursive recognition of data on business forms, choosing instead to key in valuable information - an expensive alternative - or to not capture it at all, leaving much of this data untapped, said Dwayne Ritchie, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Parascript. This is important information that we can help integrators and enterprises to better leverage. We see our partnership with Laserfiche, a leader in the content management space, to be a huge opportunity to expand the reach of Parascripts software and what we do best, in recognizing some of the most difficult to read information.
Parascripts FormXtra recognizes information on structured and semi-structured documents and uses advanced location techniques to identify data for recognition and extraction on any page within a batch. It can process images that do not perfectly match a pre-defined template, such as scaled-down faxes, increasing accuracy, flexibility and ease of integration in forms processing.
FormXtra will be integrated with Laserfiche production-level capture tools, designed to automatically read precise pieces of information from paper and electronic documents in high-volume environments, turning unstructured information into viable, actionable resources. By improving the speed and accuracy of repetitive manual processes, automated recognition helps to conserve staff time and IT resources.
The integration is further simplified through FormXtras new Hot Folder capabilities that enable reseller and technology providers to more easily couple their technologies with Parascript. The combined solution will be available through Laserfiches network of more than 1,200 value added resellers worldwide.
Our goal is to bring more value to the Laserfiche community, and we created the PDP Program to provide more options for our customers, said Tom Wayman, vice president of product strategy at Laserfiche. Parascript is an excellent option for Laserfiche customers that are looking at enhancing their systems through cursive handwriting recognition.
Parascript recently attended the Empower 2013 Laserfiche Institute Conference earlier this month in Anaheim, where it demonstrated its handwriting recognition technology to nearly 1,700 attendees. For more information please email info(at)parascript.com.

Now here's an idea you'll want to clip and save: Inspired by a post on aestheticoutburst.blogspot.com, this project takes advantage of wooden letters intended for sorority and fraternity paddles (3/8"-wide letters, 80 cents each; paddletramps.com). If you plan to paint your letters and clothespins (3/4"-wide clothespins, 75 cents each; bearwithusinc.com), start by sliding the clothespins apart into two pieces and setting the metal springs aside. Apply two coats of spray paint to both the clothespins and the letters, allowing one hour of drying time after each coat. (We used Krylon's Bahama Sea and Flat White, from $5.60 for 12 ounces; amazon.com.) Reassemble the clothespins. For each one, center a letter near the top, open edge, as shown; affix with wood glue ($5.95 for 4 ounces; amazon.com). Let dry for 30 minutes before using the clothespins to hang mementos from twine.

Windows 7
It has been a long while since I posted something here, so here goes, another rant.
I was reading the Engineering Windows 7 blogpost about Disk Defragmentation and I instantly got the annyoing feeling again that my favourite defragger JKDefrag new version MyDefrag will still be needed.
To me, the problem is not defragmentation of the disk, that is just treating the symptoms of an ill file system. As in the blog post they acknowledge that there is an abundance of CPU power compared to the disk speed. So why not use that CPU power to determine a better (or maybe optimal) place to physically store the file than the current - perhaps oversimplyfied - algorithm of: find free space, write file in free space routine.
If windows had the notion of something I call 'zones' on the disk, it would be able to achieve much better IO than ever before. Having these zones organized from the outer tracks (fastest) to the inner tracks (slowest). I haven't gone through thorough analysis of all possible zones, but for a Desktop system (like Windows 7) its easy to identify something like:
- a boot zone, containing all files in order of loading to optimize the boot time.
- a working documents zone, containing files that the user is working on at the moment, keeping stats like how fast/often its grows and allocating some buffer space behind the file to avoid defragmentation.
- a program files zone, containing the static (.exe, .dll, config, data) files of the most used processes. These should also be optimized like the boot zone to allow the as-fast-as-possible start-up time. This zone should not contain the parts of large packages (Visual Studio, Office, Sql Server, etc.) that are never or rarely used by the user.
- a log zone, for files being written by programs, but rarely read. Again, using statistics a free space buffer should be included to avoid 'zone' fragmentation. This zone could possibly benefit by having compression configured on it by default. Caches like IE temporary files could also reside here, but better analysis should point that out.
- a documents zone, for (large) files written once, read many times. Like the documents that are no longer worked on. Should also include Music, Photos, Movies, downloaded files, etc.
- a spacehog zone (credits to JKDefrag for this), for files that are rarely/never used, or backup of data already stored in the other zones. Exe's and dll's that are rarely/never loaded into memory should also reside here. This zone could be layed-out reversely on the disk, starting writing files from the slowest inner tracks, outwards to the middle tracks.
Is it really that hard to implement a better strategy? Is NTFS the 'problem' or is there not enough information about the 'file' at the low-level routines that decide which disk sectors to use?
I'd like to see a blog post on this topic. How Windows 7 organizes its files. At its core an Operating System is responsible for this, it should be one of the more important features of an OS, how it manages its slowest resource: the disk.

Quote of the Day: Blake Lively on Meaningful Gift Ideas
"The most important gift is something that lasts, and that's why you go through the holidays with your nieces and nephews and you see all of these amazing toys that they get. And then, they're just on the floor five minutes later. You notice that adults don't get those same toys Things that last are always the most powerful, [such as] memories, whether it's a photo album, something that was a meaningful moment, something that you make. A fragrance is something that my father would always give to my mother It tells a story .It's a nice identifier If the world ended tomorrow, what would you have to hold onto? That's why I love cooking so much, because it's such an experience. It's a feast for your senses." Blake Lively {Grazia Daily}

How to Use: Turmeric
Western science confirms that turmeric is a first rate anti-inflammatory herb. It contains at least two chemicals, curcumin and curcuminoids, that act to decrease inflammation much like NSAID COX-2 that inhibit the production of prostaglandins which are linked to arthritic inflammation. This anti-inflammatory effect may be why consumption of turmeric is also connected to a reduced occurrence of cancers, cataracts, and Alzhemimers. 1Turmeric has been shown to be an effective pain reliever in cases of rheumatoid arthritis. 2, 4 Modern studies confirm ancient wisdom that those with psoriasis can especially benefit from daily supplementation with turmeric. Studies show that the curcumin in turmeric acts to disrupt the cycle of skin plaque formation, working in a similar manner to the new biologic TNF inhibitors. 4
Turmeric powder mixed in warm water has been used as a home remedy for cancer sores for some time It has many medicinal properties such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity that could explain why it is a useful dental and oral care treatment. In a recent study turmeric turmeric mouthwash (10 mg curcumin extract dissolved in 100 ml of water with a peppermint flavoring agent added was found to be as effective as a solution made from chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), the gold standard compound for plaque buildup in dentistry. 8
This is great news for food lovers; this healthy and inexpensive spice is not only great for cooking, but it also may help to limit weight gain from a high fat diet. 7
Turmeric is such an exemplary herb that has a wide array of health benefits at a low cost both in monetary terms (cheap!)and few adverse effects, (almost none). Turmeric deserves a prominent place in almost anyone's health routine as a daily supplemental and a healthy culinary spice.
Preparation Methods & Dosage : While this Ayurvedic spice is a healthy addition to cooking, you may want to take turmeric in supplement form in order to reap the medicinal benefits. Extracts of the whole root are more bioavailable that Curcumin in isolation. 4 Add black pepper or dried ginger to help activate turmeric. Turmeric can be applied topically to a painful joint or swelling as a poultice to relieve pain.
Turmeric Remedies
Turmeric Side Effects: People with hypoglycemia can use small amounts of turmeric in cooking, but should not take large amounts. The yellow color of turmeric can stain clothes and skin.
Plant Description
A perennial plant native to India cultivated in China, Bengal and Java for it's rhizomes
How to Grow Turmeric
Fresh turmeric root looks a little like ginger, but inside it can be red or yellow. The red is called kunkum and is considered sacred in Ayurveda. Only the yellow root is used in cooking and medicinally. Turmeric needs warm tropical temperatures and plenty of rainfall to thrive.
History and Traditions & Folklore
For general protection from disease, carry turmeric root in your pocket, or tie it on a yellow silk thread around your neck

Recovery Continues in the Congo
September 18, 2013
Last June a group of poachers and illegal gold miners, labeled as rebels, attacked the Okapi Wildlife Reserve and the nearby town of Epulu in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A former elephant poacher who operates under the nom de guerre "Morgan" led the attack. The area remains unstable, but an outpouring of support has helped the Okapi Conservation Project work with the devastated community and begin to rebuild the Reserve.
A Silver Lining
September 17, 2013
We recently received a report that painted dogs had killed a goat in a nearby village. This was not the first time we had received such a report. However, the immediate investigation by our staff member Jealous, did confirm that, sadly, this was the first recorded case in more than twenty years of painted dogs actually killing livestock in our core operating area. The previous reports had all been false alarms.

How Much Can They Take?
By "they," I could be talking about the Minnesota Twins. How many players can they take from the Red Wings? Today's recall of shortstop Trevor Plouffe and outfielder Ben Revere means that NINE different players from Rochester's Opening Day roster have been promoted to the Twins in the first month of the season.
Don't bother plowing through your media guides. I'm sure it's never happened before, at least in Red Wings history.
But I also could be talking about the Red Wings? How much can THEY take? They are here to serve the Twins. We all get that. Minny could ask for the bullpen catcher, and he'd be on a plane to Target Field in an hour. But you have to wonder if the Wings can weather the storm?
They are 10-14, not too bad all things considered. They have lost more than a half-dozen games they should have won. The defense has been shaky at times, and the offense has failed to completely wake up. But 10-14 isn't terrible.
The pitching staff has remained fairly intact. Who would have ever thought that nine players would be recalled – and pitcher Kyle Gibson, the Twins' No. 1 prospect according to Baseball America – would still be here.
So we'll see. Infielder Ray Chang is on the way from New Britain. Another player will be recalled later today. I'm hearing whispers that there could be a swap of pitchers from Minnesota to Rochester (Is it Gibson's turn?).
Meanwhile, the Wings will enjoy an off day and try to get back on the right foot starting Thursday at Frontier Field against the Gwinnett Braves. who lead the IL South with a 14-11 mark.
THE HOTTEST TEAM IN BASEBALL is the Columbus Clippers, who have won 13 staight and are 21-5 this season. That includes a phenomenal 14-3 on the road. The poor Indy Indians are already 13.5 games out of first place, just one month into the season!
The Clippers don't come to Frontier Field until Aug. 12. By then, we're assuming they would have lost.
SO HAPPY FOR FRANCISCO LIRIANO, who pitched a no-hitter for the Twins against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night. Franky is a good guy who had to overcome Tommy John elbow surgery.
Liriano's gem is the 270th no-hitter in major-league baseball history. There have been 291 cycles in big-league history. But get this: There have been 50 cycles this decade alone, and the last time there were NO cycles in a major-league season was 1983!
The last player to hit for a cycle was Colorado's Carlos Gonzalez, last July 31.
THE RED WINGS ARE PLAYING without their top two home-run hitters: Plouffe led with 6, and Rene Tosoni had 3.

Last night, I was listening to a speech by Cedric J. Robinson about his latest book; Forgeries of Memory and Meaning: Blacks and the Regimes of Race in American Theater and Film before World War II.
At the end of the speech during the Q & A section, the topic quickly turned into the war in Iraq and the role of media played. One of the role the media had was displaying the country France as a coward nation because French refusal to participate the war. The most importing thing was the short period of time (weeks) it took for the media to have the public on their side followed by the waves of Anti-French feelings and even re-naming French fries to Freedom fries. It shows not only what we are facing, but also the Western media is not about black and white; against non-Christians, Muslims, Islam or the Black Man, but everyone who stands against their agenda and dares to challenge them.
One of their approach is to collect pieces of different snippets together and present them as the "truth". This week we have been a witness to such "truth": Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright's sermon, which he hold few days after the 9/11 tragedy. Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright is the former priest of Senator and President candidate Barak Obama. The sermon was presented as racist and anti American, even non-Christian. And so the victim becomes the perpetrator, and whole ethnic group are taken hostage and questioned their loyalty in their own country and insisted to condemn something they were not part of.
Brother MT Akbar put this video and shows what we have not seen in the sermon:
I have to say that even though as a Muslim I have disagreements with the Reverend on theological grounds I am in total agreement with him as far as social and political issues go, and I WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO THE "HIGH TECH LYNCHING" that is taking place upon his character. "and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. "(Holy Quran 5:82)

In addition to getting a name change, Xbox Live Community Games is getting a new price format. XNA is a toolset used primarily for game development. In the holiday season of 2008, Microsoft decided to expand their toolset to support Xbox 360. As a result, independent developers can sell their games on the Xbox Live Marketplace without going through the usual process.
To do so, you need to be a premium member of the XNA Creators Club. For a small fee of $49 for four months or $99 for an entire year, you can begin the process of selling your games on the Xbox Live Marketplace of the Xbox 360. After submission, your game will be peer reviewed where other XNA Creators Club members need to approve it. Once it passes, your game will be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace of the Xbox 360 for one of the three following price points of your choosing: 200 (approximately $2.50), 400 ($5.00) and 800 Microsoft Points ($10.00).
These types of downloadable games are called Xbox Live Community Games. XNA Creators Club members get 70% of the revenue while Microsoft takes the remaining piece of the pie for every purchase. Xbox Live Community Games launched on November 19, 2008.
For 2009, Microsoft decided to give their program an overhaul. First off, Xbox Live Community Games is now known as Xbox Live Indie Games. The bigger change has to do with the pricing structure, however. Instead of 200-400-200 Microsoft Points structure for Xbox Live Community Games, Xbox Live Indie Games can only be sold at 80($1.00), 240 ($3.00), or 400 Microsoft Points ($5.00).
Previous games will also be affected. 200 Microsoft Points titles will drop down to 80 Microsoft Points. Current 400 Microsoft Points Xbox Live Community Games on the Xbox Live Marketplace will stay at the price point unless the submitter decided to manually change it. The same holds true for 800 Microsoft Points Xbox Live Community Games, expect that the submitter must lower the price if they plan to update his game.
Just like before, XNA Creators Club members can pick their own price tag for their downloadable games. The lone exception is the 80 Microsoft Points level, which will require a game to be 50 MB or lower to be eligible. This is probably done to save server costs for storing low priced games.
It will be interesting to see how the XNA Creators Club members respond to the changes of the pricing structure for Xbox Live Indie Games, which will take effect on October 22, 2009.

As for the addiction argument thats going on as a subtext in the comments. Couple of things addiction is when someone wants to stop but can't, Obsession is when ppl want to continue even when they know its detrimental, most ppl you talk about as addicts aren't. The only proffesional gaming addiction clinc im aware of in europe, most likely the world has recently said they've had to retool their "detox" plan as the majority of ppl they've had through their doors aren't actually addicts but have lost or lacked social integration skills to maintain a real life. In stop looking for something to hold up as a figure head for all the social problems in the world when you should be dealing with the actual problems not the escapism most ppl run to when they don't want to deal with the real world anymore.

Two Maltese drives win at Racalmuto
The sixth and final round of the Sicilian Time Attack championship was held at the Autodromo Valle dei Templi, Racalmuto last weekend, and for the second for Time Attack Team Malta secured their laurels.
Pro class Subaru driver Rodrick Borg joined Racing class champion Josef Calleja in winning two of the most keenly contested classes in this ever growing championship. Whilst Calleja easily took the honours with one round to go, for Borg things were not so easy and at the end of six hard fought rounds both Borg and Maltese Lotus racer Adrian Muscat Azzopardi had equal points at the top of the list. After the tie breaker rule was applied the organizers declared Borg the winner of the Pro class.
Saturday practice was dry and sunny and the 8 Maltese drivers made the best of their track time to set their cars up for Sunday's racing. In the case of two first timers at Racalmuto, namely Stephen Ellul (Subaru) and young Jacques Mizzi (Renault) it was more a question of putting in as many laps as possible to learn the track.
Sunday was overcast but this did not deter the Italians from flocking to Racalmuto for this final event of the year, and the paddock soon filled to capacity with racing cars. It was clear that the weather was not going to get any better so most drivers made sure they clocked respectable times in their first heats in the morning. Tyre temperatures were already a problem with the cold track, but when the rain came after the lunch break it was clearly going to be more difficult to clock any good times.
Nicky Xerxen, driving his Mitsubishi EVO made the fastest time of the day, also winning his class in the process. He was followed by another Maltese driver and Racing class winner Josef Calleja (Subaru), whilst third place overall was the first of the Italians, Ninnuzzo Romano, also driving a Subaru. Steve Calleja had another good and trouble free weekend steadily improving his Mazda RX7, and Adrian Muscat Azzopardi posted another class win in the Pro class. Jacques Mizzi improved steadily as he learnt the track, and the same can be said of Stephen Ellul who was thrilled with the whole weekend and was already asking for next year's dates, whilst poor Ronald Mercieca had to abandon earlier than expected with gearbox maladies in his Hyundai Coupe.

Not the aurora
No, not the Aurora borealis but Mimosa borealis, a shrub known as pink mimosa and fragrant mimosa, both of which are accurate descriptions of the plant's flowers. I photographed this one in my northwest Austin neighborhood on March 26. To get a clear shot of the mimosa I had to lie on the ground and be careful to avoid a nearby cactus and some scattered nettles: all in a day's work for a nature photographer in Texas.
