Missouri Photo WorkshopOctober 15th, 2013
Thank you to the Missouri Photo Workshop for an incredible week. Check out the work of all the talented photographers that created stories in Trenton, Missouri http://mophotoworkshop.org/mpw-65-trenton/
And a link to my story here:
Rosetta Marsch is a full-time working mother of two and caregiver to her ailing parents. Rosetta's life is challenged by an effort to cope with the responsibilities of her eight-year-old daughter's newly diagnosed Tourette's Syndrome, her mother's diabetes and her father's developing dementia. "They call me the sandwich generation. But if I wasn't busy, I would be bored," says Rosetta. With strength and positivity, Rosetta sacrifices her time and energy to ensure that the health of her loved ones remains stable.
Rosetta Marsch drops off her daughter Serenity at S.M. Rissler Elementary School in Trenton, Missouri. This begins Rosetta's day of working and family caretaking.
Rosetta works full time at Trenton City Hall as office manager. Luckily, her work is understanding and allows her to use time in the middle of the day to care for her parents.
Rosetta picks up some food for herself and her parents on the way to their house.
Rosetta goes over her parents' bank statements and helps them balance their checkbooks. They depend on Rosetta to keep track of what they are spending because of their expensive medical bills.
Rosetta helping her mother inject an insulin shot.
After a walk, Rosetta brings her father back to the house her parents have been living in for 54 years. With her father's developing dementia, she worries about his lack of hobbies and tries to take walks with him as much as possible.
Rosetta's parents give her a grocery list. She shops for them whenever they are running low on food because it difficult for them to run errands without her.
Rosetta searches for an apartment for her parents in a building with affordable housing for senior citizens.
Rosetta appreciates a moment of solitude at the beauty salon. The salon is a sanctuary for Rosetta, being one of the only places where she can relax.
Rosetta picks up Serenity from the school bus.
Serenity does not enjoy the taste of her Antronex pills. The pill helps Serenity with her immune system.
Rosetta and her husband Doug bring Serenity to her weekly chiropractor appointment. Serenity experiences back pain from the tics brought on by her Tourette's Syndrome and the chiropractic visits help manage the pain.
Rosetta's husband rubs oil on Serenity's neck. Rosetta has chosen to take an herbal path in keeping Serenity's Tourette's at bay. She finds that the oil, made of frankincense, lavender, eucalyptus and valerian roots, calms Serenity's symptoms.
Rosetta holds a sleeping Serenity in the car ride home from her son's football game, two hours away from Trenton. Late nights are particularly difficult for Rosetta because her mornings start at 5 am.
Rosetta gives Serenity her pills before bedtime.
Rosetta rests on her couch alongside her husband, Doug. After long days of working and caring for her family, it is easy for Rosetta to start dozing off as soon as she sits down.

A U.S. Senate plan for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the most thorough yet for winding down the two mortgage financiers, faces a first test this week with its authors making last-minute changes to gather more support.
The 22 members of the Senate Banking Committee will decide as early as Tuesday whether the bill, the culmination of more than a year of delicate negotiations among Democrats and Republicans, gains momentum or fizzles.
The legislation would replace the companies over five years with federal insurance for mortgage bonds that would kick in only after private investors were wiped out. Current shareholders of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would be in line behind the U.S. in getting any compensation from the wind-down.
To keep the bill from stalling, committee leaders are trying to win over at least a few of the half-dozen Democrats on the panel who haven't publicly embraced it. They have proposed changes including ones that would prevent big banks from monopolizing the mortgage business and add stronger protections for lending in disadvantaged communities.
Even as the White House and industry groups including the National Association of Realtors are lobbying for quick action on the bill, civil rights organizations and investors who would benefit from the continued existence of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are urging a delay. An impasse would leave the two companies operating indefinitely under federal control.
Restructuring the mortgage market is the largest piece of unfinished U.S. business from the 2008 credit crisis, when regulators seized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as they careened toward insolvency. The companies were bailed out with $187.5 billion from the Treasury while backing a growing share of mortgages as private capital dried up.
Only recently did they return to financial health, sparking calls from private shareholders including Bruce Berkowitz's Fairholme Capital Management and hedge fund Perry Capital LLC to share in profits they are returning to taxpayers.
Six Democrats and six Republicans on the banking panel have previously endorsed the concept of the bill, written by Chairman Tim Johnson, a South Dakota Democrat, and its senior Republican, Mike Crapo of Idaho. That would be enough to move it out of the committee.
Still, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, is expected to allow a full Senate vote only if more party members come on board, said Isaac Boltansky, a policy analyst at Compass Point Research and Trading LLC in Washington.
Reid has expressed reservations about winding down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because the companies ensure that homebuyers are able to get affordable fixed-rate mortgages.
"Senate leadership appears far from enthused by the prospects of a floor vote on the measure," Boltansky said in an interview. "Reforming the mortgage market just doesn't fit into the pre-election priorities of either party."
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, long political flash points in Washington, buy mortgages from lenders and package them into securities on which they guarantee payments of principal and interest; they now back about two-thirds of new home loans.
That dominance has led them to post record profits over the past two years as the housing market rebounded. Fannie Mae reported an $84 billion profit for 2013, the highest-ever for the 80-year-old firm, while Freddie Mac likewise reported a record profit of $48.7 billion.
The two companies last week sent memos to the Banking Committee estimating that mortgage costs would go up as much as 219 basis points for some borrowers under the system created by the bill. U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan criticized that analysis Monday, calling it a "narrative that was crafted by companies that don't compete in the competitive market."
Other estimates, including one by Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics Inc., have projected lower cost increases.

Chromium is a trace mineral that works with insulin to help regulate and maintain normal amount of sugar, glucose, in the blood. It also plays a role in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. Chromium can be found naturally in foods and also comes in a variety of supplemental forms.
Severe chromium deficiency is likely very rare. As chromium works closely with insulin, a deficiency of this mineral can produce symptoms similar to those seen in people with
and can worsen glycemic control in people with pre-existing diabetes.
It is difficult to consume toxic amounts of chromium from dietary sources alone. But, harmful levels of the mineral can potentially be ingested in the form of supplements. Daily dosages of 50-200 mcg are believed to be safe. The Institute of Medicine has not established a Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
A daily intake of over 1,200 micrograms has been reported to cause kidney, liver, and bone marrow damage in one person. In another case report, a patient taking daily dose of 600 mcg caused damage. You should talk to your doctor before taking more than 200 mcg. chromium toxicity may be more likely in people who already have liver or kidney disease
In addition, chromium picolinate appears to alter levels of neurotransmitters when taken in high doses—a possible concern for people with
bipolar disease, or
Many foods contain a small amount of chromium. In general, whole grain breads and cereals and meats are all good sources. The content of chromium in many foods can be affected by how food is gown and processed. Here is a list of the approximate contents of chromium in certain foods:

Nintendo helped revolutionize the video-game industry and continues to dominate the handheld console business with its GameBoy Advance and new Nintendo DS. But on Mar. 24, Sony (SNE) will launch its new PlayStation Portable handheld. Along with Microsoft (MSFT), which makes the Xbox, it's also challenging Nintendo in next-generation home consoles.
At the annual Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco on Mar. 10, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata outlined his broad vision for keeping his company in the race. Widely believed to be available in 2006, Nintendo's next game console, code-named Revolution, will be backward compatible with previous generations of games, wirelessly enabled, and equipped with numerous (still unnamed) features that will change the way people play games, according to Iwata.
It's a tall order. In a one-on-one interview, BusinessWeek Correspondent Cliff Edwards talked to him about those goals and the increasing competition facing Nintendo. Here are some edited excerpts:
Q: You mentioned Nintendo Revolution will have a totally new interface, a completely different look for gamers. Can you elaborate?
A: The new interface will allow some new forms of innovation. Already, you're seeing changes in Nintendo DS, which has a microphone, input pen, and touch screen. We have a number of candidates for a new interface but are not ready to reveal them. All I can say right now is that whatever we choose will be intuitive and easy to use for everyone.
Q: Well, you showed several new games that used voice commands. Is that one of your candidates?
A: It certainly makes a game better to have voice commands, because it can alter how the game is played. But the fact of the matter is, to realize voice commands, all you have to do is install a microphone. We realize a few of our competitors are already thinking of following us on this, so it will not be a defining feature of the new console. We may or may not use the microphone in the new [Nintendo Revolution] interface.
Q: You also challenged game developers to think outside of the box on new games. Why?
A: Games already pretty much have reached the point of photo-realism. Working on more intense graphics is not the only path we can take anymore. Simply relying on the sheer horsepower of the machine will not bring the industry a bright future.
Q: When will you get Revolution development kits out to game creators?
A: Development kits are already out there, depending on which stage you're talking about. All I can say right now is "in the near-future" for the basis platform information they will need to get started on games.
Q: A lot has been said about Microsoft's new Xbox console coming out later this year. If that's the case, it may have a year's lead on you, and many are predicting Nintendo will be the big loser, not Sony. What are your thoughts here?
A: Whether Nintendo is a winner or loser on Revolution totally depends on how our customers react to it, and since they do not know much about it, I can't respond. A year or two from now, it will be interesting to know who ultimately made the right choices. I'm confident we have made the right decisions.
Q: Still, a lot of people say there are lessons to be learned from previous mistakes with console introductions. What have you learned from Nintendo's missteps?
A: I should point out two lessons: We really needed to understand the differences and the needs of the territories, and also the importance of timing. It's important not only to have the right timing of when the hardware is going to be released but also when we are going to be able to introduce quality software.
Q: Nintendo is one of the biggest game software publishers in the world. Does having such big hits make it more difficult to get third-party publishers like Electronic Arts (ERTS) on board, since they have to compete with you?
A: Of course, third-party publishers, like everyone, face increasing risks associated with creating games, and you have to target your resources to the right places and the right platforms. Our competitors [in the hardware business] are the ones who are willing to shell out big money to ensure third-party support, but I believe as long as Nintendo can find the appropriate strategy to make us stand out, they will develop for our platforms.

State deliberates on Middleton withdrawal plan
Thursday, December 26, 2013
MIDDLETON — The Planning Board met Dec. 12, with the first order of business approving Loretta Snell as their Clerk, effective in January. Other items of business were approving two applications for parcel mergers. After a brief discussion, it was generally decided that it would be advisable to have a form letter from Pam Frazier, the Assessing Clerk, officially stating that the applications meet assessing requirements. Members also voted to approve authorizing the PB Chair to sign routine lot line adjustments.
School news
The NH Dept. of Education hearing on the Feasibility Plan was held on Dec. 19 in Concord. By the time this article is published, the minutes may already be posted on their website at education.nh.gov/state_board/meetings. Quite a few Middleton residents were in attendance. While impossible to get a feel for how it was viewed by the DOE, the Middleton presentation was impressive. After posing some concerns regarding a legal ruling and some requests for additional information on Middleton's planned school construction, the panel will meet again on Jan. 14th for what will hopefully be a final ruling. It was agreed that this would still leave sufficient time for a bond hearing for Middleton.
On the Dec. 11 meeting, the Middleton School Board reviewed finances and were informed that some line items, such as special education costs, may be lower than budgeted. On the other hand, the Affordable Care Act may have negative affects to the budget. The Board made the determination that more money could be realized from handling the sale of the old school buses for metal rather than dealing with a third party. Other items on the agenda were 2012 audit, the appointment of a Deputy Treasurer, and the Farmington Budget/Programming Update. Although it is already (as I write this) Dec. 22, the draft minutes have yet to be posted to the SAU website.
The MSB met again on Dec. 19. A request to post a copy of the proposed GWR/Middleton tuition agreement was met with agreement. On the town website is a copy of the Kingswood Program of Studies, which may be of considerable interest to parents and students.

A road hazard was taken care of on Nov. 11 on New Durham Road, four more occurring on Nov. 24. One was on New Durham Road, two on Route 153 and another on Fox Road.

School board gets update on work of leadership team
WATERBURY — It costs about $780,000 a year for the district to employ four people in recently created "instructional leadership director" positions, and, so far, school leaders believe they're worth every penny.
Chief Academic Officer Anne Marie Cullinan and the four instructional leadership directors, or "ILDs," hired last year appeared before the Board of Education last week for an update on their progress.

France faced calls from its European Union partners to lift threats to block the start of free-trade talks with the U.S. unless audiovisual works are fully excluded.
EU trade ministers meeting today in Luxembourg will decide whether to give the European Commission, the bloc's regulatory arm, a mandate for negotiations with the U.S. to expand the world's biggest economic relationship. The goal is to remove tariffs, ease regulatory barriers and expand access in investment, services and public procurement.
The French government has demanded a blanket exclusion of audiovisual policies from the scope of any negotiating remit, citing the principle that culture can't be treated as a normal commercial good. Other EU governments and the Brussels-based commission say that stance is too hard-line and instead vow to protect current European policies that promote cultural works while allowing for the possibility of some concessions to the U.S. in this area.
"It will require flexibility on all sides to reach agreement," Trade Minister Richard Bruton of Ireland, current holder of the 27-nation EU's rotating presidency, told reporters as the Luxembourg meeting participants headed to lunch after an initial round of deliberations. "I remain ambitious and we are not going to leave any opportunity behind us. We are going to work on every possible lead."
Two Years
With the EU in a recession (EUGNEMUQ:US), the U.S. in a slow recovery and the World Trade Organization in deadlock over efforts to open markets, European and American policymakers are seeking commercial deals with individual countries or groups of nations to spur growth. Trade will feature at a June 17-18 meeting of Group of Eight leaders in the U.K.
An accord between the EU and the U.S. would outrank all others because both sides already have goods and services trade valued at $2 billion a day. A deal, which might take two years or longer to reach, could bring annual economic benefits of 119 billion euros ($159 billion) to Europe and 95 billion euros to the U.S., according to the commission in Brussels.
"There's enough goodwill on both sides to realize this is the moment to push ahead," U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron said in an interview yesterday in London.
French Trade Minister Nicole Bricq stuck to Paris's uncompromising line in the meeting's morning session.
'Cultural Exception'
France "will refuse any mandate that doesn't include protection of cultural services and the clear and explicit exclusion of the audiovisual sector," Bricq said in a statement of her remarks to fellow EU ministers that was handed out by French officials. "You know the extreme sensitivity of European creators."
A European film-industry delegation showed up at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, three days ago to say the "cultural exception" isn't negotiable. Greek-French movie director Costa Gavras warned of an American "cultural invasion" should talks with the U.S. cover the audiovisual industry.
That stance is too rigid for the commission and for most EU countries including the U.K., Germany and Finland, which want to seek the broadest possible accord with Washington.
"It's very difficult to envisage a solution which would have a total carve out" of audiovisual policies, Finnish Trade Minister Alexander Stubb told reporters today in Luxembourg. "There's absolutely nothing that threatens the French or the European film industry. And I shall certainly continue to watch all of my beloved French movies even after this free-trade negotiation has been finalized."
Stubb put the chances of an EU ministerial accord today at "50-50."
"I hope that we find a solution which is acceptable for the French," he said.
Anne Ruth Herkes, a German Economics Ministry state secretary with responsibility for trade, pressed France to show flexibility. She said other EU nations and the commission were taking a "reasonable" approach.
"We are all for cultural diversity," Herkes said. "France has to move a bit. It's that way for all of us occasionally. Today France has to do it (EUGNEMUQ:US)."

pH-Basic is formulated to assist in balancing the pH of individuals who are either too acidic or too alkaline.* This formula is designed to bypass the acidic environment of the stomach, delivering nutrients directly to the small intestine. By optimizing the pH of the small intestine, rather than neutralizing stomach acid, systemic pH balance is achieved.* Each bottle of pH-Basic contains pH test strips. pH-Basic contains a synergistic blend of minerals, enzymes and herbs to maintain or therapeutically to elevate your body's pH if you are finding it difficult to make an impact through diet.* It also serves to enhance the efficiency of enzymes in the body (digestive and metabolic).
The Importance of pH Balance
The term pH stands for "potential" of "Hydrogen." It is the amount of hydrogen ions in a particular solution. The more hydrogen ions, the more acidic the solution. The fewer ions, the more alkaline (basic) the solution. pH is measured on a scale of 0 to 14 with 7 being neutral. The lower the pH number, the more acidic it is and the higher the number, the more alkaline. For example, a pH of 3 is more acidic than a pH of 5 and a pH of 9 is more alkaline than a pH of 6.
As humans, a normal pH for all tissues and fluids of the body (except the stomach) is slightly alkaline. The most critical pH is in the blood. All other organs and fluids will fluctuate in their range in order to keep the blood a strict pH between 7.35 and 7.45 (slightly alkaline). This process is called homeostasis. The body makes constant adjustments in tissue and fluid pH to maintain this very narrow pH range in the blood. If the blood becomes too acidic the body will balance the pH at all costs. It takes some of the alkaline forming elements from the enzymes in the small intestine to stay balanced. The small intestine then becomes too acidic to digest foods optimally. The pancreas, gallbladder and liver are then forced to make up for this deficiency in order to metabolize foods properly. This has a direct bearing on metabolic enzyme production, which is literally involved in every biochemical reaction in the body. When there is too much acidity, the bones will leach calcium, the most alkaline mineral. This can lead to reduced absorption of supplemental minerals and bone density problems. Insulin levels increase and fat is stored instead of being metabolized. When malnutrition or starvation sets in, the body becomes acidic and as a safety, insulin is over produced so that all available calories are stored as fat for future use. As a result, weight gain is common and weight loss becomes more difficult.
All of this can lead to common symptoms of acidity which include but are not limited to occasional heartburn, acid discomfort, indigestion, weight gain, difficulty losing weight, poor metabolism, mineral deficiencies, occasional constipation, fatigue, brain fog, frequent urination, and sore muscles.
One of the best ways to determine whether or not we are maintaining a proper pH is to test the urine. This is accurate because one of the most efficient ways for our bodies to maintain balance is to utilize the kidneys. If we become too acidic, our kidneys will eliminate acid through the urine. This will help make the blood more alkaline, so the urine pH will be acidic. The urine then is an excellent indicator to determine if our diet is too rich in foods that make us acidic or alkaline.
The optimal urine pH is between 6 and 7 on the pH scale. Enzymedica's pH-Basic is specifically designed to maintain the body's optimal pH level. It contains a synergistic blend of minerals, enzymes and herbs. It also serves to enhance the efficiency of enzymes in the body (digestive and metabolic).*

Two years plus of NC: A progress report
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 11-21-2012 - 11:45am
I haven't posted in almost a year and don't know if there is anyone here who remembers me. I frequented this forum for several months starting in the spring of 2011. At that time, I had been more than six months of NC but was still hurting. It was two years since I last saw her in August, and two years since last emails in October. The first year was extremely hard. The constant hunger for contact, the wondering what she was doing, all of the things that seem to plague all of us. But just as people said, once the first round of bogus "anniversaries" came and went, it got progressively easier. Each so-called "anniversary" that went by without contact made the ending seem that much more final. But it took work. For example, I had to avoid important work-related conferences where I knew she might be present, so that I would not run into her before I felt ready. I am not sure I am ready for that even now. I have very occasional downs even now, but they are not a big deal. At my last meeting several months ago, my counselor told me not to worry about this, it was just part of being human.
Over time, a curious thing happened. I started feeling so much happier with my own life, grateful for wife, family, work, etc. I enjoy life again. I know I said all that even when we first broke off, but it is another thing to really feel that way. Now it has the feeling of truth to it; in other words, I am not just "saying" that internally to make myself feel better. Another curious thing: I no longer have feelings of resentment or anger toward her. I hope she is happy and the last thing I want to do now is to intrude on her life.
One reason I was reminded about it all and decided to post was reading about the very public goings on of General Petraeus and his crowd. We can all imagine very well what all those involved are going through now. It made me very thankful I got out of it without a D-day (and here's hoping I never have one).
So to all those who are going through agony now: I have felt your pain. But it does get better and you can be happy again. Please stay strong and stay focused on getting OUT of it and recovering. Please do not set yourself back with contacts and fishing attempts - my A was prolonged unnecessarily for almost an extra year because of breaking NC before finally ending it, and that meant an extra year of unnecessary pain for both of us. Looking back, I cannot believe I took such stupid risks with my life. But in the moment we are caught in that web of emotion and deceit and can't think straight. To be able to think straight again, you have to give yourself time to recover. For me that took more than a year with absolutely NO contact, and even then only gradually progressed until two years on I feel fine again.
Stay well and take care over the holidays - a particularly vulnerable time.
|Wed, 11-21-2012 - 12:56pm
Thank you so much for this, Phoenix. I don't remember your story because I've only been out for (almost) a year, and back when you were suffering through this I was still trapped (or so I thought) in my A and hating myself more by the day. I'm actually really happy to hear that it took you more than a year to really feel "normal" again--even without a D Day, there are so many repercussions of something like this that they continue to crop up just when you least expect them.
The one thing I'm sure of is that those of us who come to this site read the papers these days and say, There but for the grace o' God. And we have a lot more sympathy for people who really, really mess up. Talk about walking a mile in someone else's shoes. There's a Dar Williams song called "The Mercy of the Fallen." That about covers it.
Be well, and thank you for writing to us.
|Wed, 11-21-2012 - 1:25pm
Thanks for dropping by, Phoenix, and inspiring others with your success story. Can't get enough of these. It's difficult some times to believe that things will get better especially when one is in the thick of it; so when a post like this comes along, it reinforces that things will eventually get better...when we work hard to make it so.
Happy Holidays to you and yours,
|Wed, 11-21-2012 - 7:28pm
Welcome back and Happy Holidays.
I remember you well. Not too many of us guys around who openly admit to having a problem of letting go.
You are walking proof of No Contact and that it works.
Time does heal, and if we quit trying to rush it, it does the healing part for us.
Glad to see you, my best for your continued journey. It never ends, does it.

The ADI IIO Oscilloscope is a example application, which demonstrates how to interface different evaluation boards from within a Linux system. The application supports plotting of the captured data in four different modes (time domain, frequency domain, constellation and cross-correlation). The application also allows to view and modify several settings of the evaluation board's devices.
You can either download the IIO Oscilloscope here from the wiki or checkout the latest version from the git repository.
Git: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/iio-oscilloscope / git://github.com/analogdevicesinc/iio-oscilloscope.git
The IIO Oscilloscope uses the following libraries:
Before the IIO Oscilloscope can be build the following packages need to be installed:
Install Libiio library by following these instructions.
This specifies any shell prompt running on the target - Install IIO Oscilloscope build dependencies
> sudo apt-get install libgtkdatabox-0.9.1-1-dev libgtk2.0-dev libmatio-dev
To build and install the IIO Oscilloscope you need to unpack the tar archive and run `make` and `make install` in the osc folder.
This specifies any shell prompt running on the host or target - Download and install the iio scope
> git clone https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/iio-oscilloscope.git > cd iio-oscilloscope > git checkout origin/master > make > sudo make install
The application can run locally which means it runs on the same platform where your device is connected.
To start the IIO Oscilloscope open up the start menu of your system and search for "IIO Oscilloscope". E.g. if you are using a Ubuntu Linux system move your mouse cursor to the left side of your screen and "Dash home" button and type "IIO Oscilloscope" into the search box.
The application can be used to connect to another platform that has a connected device in order to configure the device and read data from it.
This specifies any shell prompt running on the host or target - Run IIO Oscilloscope in remote mode
> export OSC_REMOTE=IP address of the remote platform (old) > export IIOD_REMOTE=IP address of the remote platform (new) > osc
(new) Alternatively you can also go to Settings → Connect and enter the IP address in the popup window.
Markers are used for plot data measurement. To activate the markers right click on the plot and select from the marker menu the type of marker you want to enable. Make sure the capture process is running and the appropriate domain is selected in order to enable the markers properly. The following types of markers are available:
The enabling of a marker will display a set of 5 markers by default. You can add more markers by selecting Add Marker from the marker menu and remove some by selection Remove Maker.
Fixed markers are designed to have their position moved by the user. Once the fixed markers are visible on the plot right click on the marker symbol and while holding the right button pressed move the mouse to the desired location on the plot and release the right button.
To disable the markers select Markers Off from the marker menu.
Once the data is captured, it can be saved using one of the following formats:
Click on File→Save As to open the dialog needed to save the data.
The settings can be applied only in Time domain.
The Main Window is designed to display a configuration panel (plugin) for each device recognized by the system. Additional plugins will be loaded for device debugging and monitoring purposes such as:
Each plugin can be detached from the main window simply by clicking on the button placed on the right side of the name of the plugin. Use the same button to attach the plugin back to the main window.
The source code for the entire application is at github. You can ask questions about it on the EngineerZone.

FRIDAY, Jan. 24, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Better eye care seems to have brightened the long-term outlook for people with glaucoma. The likelihood of blindness in glaucoma patients 20 years after diagnosis has fallen by at least half in the last generation, according to a new study.
Researchers analyzed the medical records of all the people 40 and older in Olmsted County, Minn., who were diagnosed with the eye disease between 1981 and 2000. The investigators compared these people to patients diagnosed with glaucoma between 1965 and 1980.
The incidence of glaucoma did not change, but the risk of going blind in at least one eye fell from about 26 percent in the earlier group of patients to less than 14 percent in the newer group. The researchers also found that the annual incidence of glaucoma-caused blindness dropped by more than half.
The results were published online in the January issue of the journal Ophthalmology.
"This is a testament to the skill and effort of the researchers, physicians and other care providers working in eye care over that period," study senior author Dr. Arthur Sit, a Mayo Clinic ophthalmologist, said in a Mayo news release.
"Our improved understanding of glaucoma, along with better treatment and management of patients seem to have had this impact. Still, much research and public education remains to be performed," said Sit. "A 14 percent blindness rate from a common eye disease is hardly ideal."
Sit said early diagnosis was not a factor in the decreased risk of blindness from glaucoma, noting that the age of first diagnosis did not change.
The only early warning sign of glaucoma is a loss of peripheral vision, but most people fail to notice this change. Regular eye exams are the best way to diagnose the condition, Sit said.
More information
The U.S. National Eye Institute has more about glaucoma.

Rockin' Ron for Hugh. See B making some turns in Highlander Glades. The air was crisp and the snow was sweet. The Sterling Lift will be operating through 4 o'clock PM on Sunday with Intermediate and Expert Terrain being offered. Come and get some fresh air and fresh powder!!
"Fresh" Prince
Rockin' Ron for Hugh. What a difference a day makes.Yesterday was torrential rain and today was sunshine and powder. I saw Dave Sills (aka P1 or Patrol One) at the Top of the Notch. He said they had a heck of a time assessing the conditions this morning. After just a couple of runs, I can see what they went through. Well, my hat (or helmet) is off to you Dave, and the rest of Patrol and Mountain Ops. I chanced upon Greg Fatigate and he raved about the Birch Run Terrain Park, and he was right – it was in excellent condition with 4 rails and 3 jumps. Pictured is Brendan Simpson getting some fresh powder on the trail that connects Thomke's to Bootleggers and Smugglers' Alley. We skied a nice variety of terrain including Highlander Glades and Pipeline.Today was a crowning achievement to the season – we felt like Princes of Powder – like Jon Snow in Game of Thrones.
First day of Spring
Winter wonderland is what it looks like up here at Smuggs… The skiing and riding is just wonderful with powder and packed powder conditions. We are 100 percent open with all 78 trails. The forecast calls for snow right into the weekend with up to 8 inches of accumulation possible. The photo you see here was taken on the Headwall of Madonna Liftline.
24 inches of new snow in the past 2 days.
Powder day
6 inches of new snow in the past 24 hours.
Jess enjoying the fresh snow in Bermuda. We received 17 inches of new snow in the past week. I was taking some photos from the summit of Madonna when I saw my son and his Mitey Mites class. He told me that they had just skied Doc Dempsey's to Bermuda. He said it was a great long glade run. I took his advice and headed for Doc's. I found some nice fresh snow on skier's left. Bermuda was next and I was looking forward to the low angle glades. Bermuda got its name from being warm and sunny. The trees provide protection from the wind and it is southern facing. The low angle allows you to cruise between the trees without having to worry about speed control too much. I love floating down through the powder in the sunshine.
Doc Dempsey's
It was clear overnight and the temperature dropped down a little bit. The sun came out this morning and warmed us up. I had a good time today looking for powder stashes and good sunlight for photos. Pictured here is Brooks having fun in the glades on Madonna Mountain. Tuesday February 18 is Vermont Specialty Food Day in the Village Courtyard from 10:30 am till 2:30 pm. Try Liz Lovely 100 percent natural cookies, Kimball Farms milk and chocolate milk, delicious Cabot Cheese, Vermont Smoke & Cure meats, Green Mountain Coffee, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream and maple products from Butternut Farm! My good friend Matteo of Cacao Matteo Chocolatier will also be there with Cassis Truffles, Maple Crème Leaves, Cranberry Orange Bark, and Hard Cider Caramel. He lives and makes his chocolates here in Cambridge, Vermont. I have been lucky enough to sample his chocolates and they are fantastic!
Great conditions
We received 20 inches of new snow in the past 2 days. This morning I was lucky enough to go on the Cat Trax Fresh Trax Tour up Madonna Mountain. I skied Doc Dempsey's and it was wonderful. I headed down Gary B's to get back to the Village but when I saw all the powder in Bermuda I had to jump in. I took my time and found many fresh turns. It was another fantastic day on the slopes of Smuggs. Pictured here is my good friend Justin enjoying some powder on the side of Father Bob's.
Powder Day!
Today was easily one of the best days of the season. We received 12 inches of new snow last night and another 6 inches during the day. It was wonderful the way all the tracks just kept filling in. Most of the schools were closed today, so everyone was out on the hill enjoying the fantastic powder everywhere. There is more snow in the forecast for tomorrow and also on Tuesday. It is going to be a great weekend! The picture you see here is my friend Matthew from Maine enjoying the white fluffy stuff.
Powder Day
We received 10 inches of new snow in the past 24 hours and 22 inches in the past week. The forecast called for 1 to 2 inches of new snow overnight and we got 6 to 8 inches. We had colder temperatures last night and that made the snow light.
My first run of the day was on Madonna Mountain. I was shocked by the amount of new snow that we received overnight. I took a video with my iphone and sent it to Alex Martin of Smuggs TV to show him all the fresh snow that we received. He was also shocked by the amount of new snow and said that he was on his way to the Upper Parking Lot. After Alex put on his boots and grabbed his video camera we headed for Madonna. We had a great time playing in the powder filled glades. Alex headed back to Smuggs TV so that he could edit and post the powder video. To see this video just go to http://vimeo.com/search?q=smugglers+notch+february+powder+grab
I received a text message from my good friends Tony and Geoff saying that they were in the Upper Parking Lot. I told them that I was on Madonna and the conditions are fantastic. We headed back up Madonna to find more powder stashes. We ran into our good friend Lenny at the summit of Madonna and he joined our group of powder hounds. It's really hard to beat skiing with great friends in great conditions. I had so much fun today that I never took a break to go inside. I want to thank my good buddy Lenny for sharing his bagel sandwich with me on the Madonna I chair lift. It really helped me get through the afternoon.

|During my last sojourn to the moist, cool, humid North, Pacifica California to be exact, where D cutherbersonii grow like Dandelions in my front yard, I bought a Dracula velutina var xanthia. It was not expensive but I would have paid extra because it is unusual and rare.
Drac velutina is normally brownish/red. The flower is neither very large nor spectacular, about 1" across, a typical small flowered Dracula. I have seen it before. Var xanthia, on the other hand, is yellow. OOOOOOH!!!!!!!!! Seldom seen in private collections, rarely offered for sale. I did not have to, but I would have paid double for this because of that.
Have any of you paid extra or jumped through hoops to get something unusual, not because it is more beautiful, but simply because is is rarely if ever seen?
Follow-Up Postings:
|One of the speakers at the San Francisco Orchid Society did a presentation on mimicry. One of the plants was Trichoceros parviflorus. I found I just HAD to have one. I found one listed on Andy's Orchids and, instead of having it shipped like a sane person, I called for an appointment to visit, then drove down from Napa to San Diego to get it.
Andy has a very nice facility with lots of micro climates and odd shaped growing areas. One of the staff walked me around and I bought more than just the one plant.
Andy is not set up for visitors and a casual visit or just to lookie-loo would not be appropriate for going there. But if you are going to buy something, it is worth driving to pick it up to see what he has going on.
- Posted by orchidnick z9Ca (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, May 29, 11 at 12:42
|Right on, good trip. One of the things I learned from Andy the last time I was there was the utter darkness he keeps his Pleuro house. You need a flashlight to find your way around. Green algae on the roof, 3 layer of hanging plants lead to a very dark atmosphere and yet the Pleuros are thriving. I plan to significantly darken a corner of my cold GH and put the Pleuros there.
|I guess if I wasn't interested in unusual orchids I'd be growing the same big, crowd-pleasing Cymbidiums that make up 80% of the orchids entered into the local orchid shows (an my wife would be much happier). Most of what I grow aren't really mainstream orchids. Rarity probably isn't a major drawcard for me, although a lot of what I grow would be considered to be rare. The unusual is typically what interests me. I also like collecting examples of variation within highly variable species.
As for throwing cash at something rare, with kids and a mortgage, if I see something I love that's out of my price range, I make do without it. Fortunately, as most of the oddball botanicals I grow, have little commercial value, the rare stuff is usually not for sale. You get it via gifts and trades with people. If I have gone to any effort in sourcing rare plants it's been by growing orchids from seed myself and importing seed of orchids that aren't available in Australia (and putting up with having to ring customs when they seize seed they shouldn't have). That's just part and parcel of sourcing those types of orchids though. It's not jumping through hoops per se.
|The "problem" is that those big, crowd-pleasing Cymbidiums fill up 90% of the available space at the winter show and thus keep the marketing manager of the venue happy.
So the equation is no Cymbidiums = no orchid society.
But all is not lost, we have two whipper-snipper growers, a few species growers and several former purely Cymbidium growers who have seen the light.
I love the Trichoceros parviflorus pictured in the post above but i know my limitations.
- Posted by epiphyte78 9 (My Page) on Tue, May 31, 11 at 15:53
|Hmmm...not sure if I've ever purchased something just because it's so rare. Most of the time I lament that plants on my want list aren't in greater supply. I'm definitely an obsessed collector though...but I try and narrow my scope to epiphytic species that can grow outside year around.
A couple years ago I drove all the way up to Oregon to help a friend pull Tillandsia "weeds" that were growing on everything in his greenhouse. Several months ago I helped a vendor at a show for an entire day in return for a couple divisions of two rare orchid species. Just recently I shelled out some decent money to import several flasks of hard to find species from Australia.
Arthurm, I'm curious what your limitations are for Trichoceros parviflorus? It grows great outside year around here in Southern California. I grow it alongside my Bulbophyllum shepherdii, Dockrillia linguiforme and several other succulent Australian natives. At the last Pacific Orchid Expo I picked up Trichoceros onaensis...and out of all the orchids I purchased, it was one of the very first to put out new roots. Can't remember if it put out new roots just before or just after Masdevallia amabilis.
|Here is an example of parallel evolution. Calochilus paludosus. Do not know if Aust Native Orchid enthuasiasts have succeeded in growing this species.

A picture window is a large, fixed-pane window, generally made without glazing bars. A picture window gets its name from the fact that it is designed to give you a clear view of your surroundings without any obstructions—essentially acting as a picture frame for the scenery outside the window.
Picture windows are normally inoperable, so they provide no airflow or ventilation benefits, but their fixed-pane nature makes them highly energy efficient. If you are looking to increase the natural lighting in your home and create exceptional views of the outdoors, but prefer a window that does not open, a picture window is perfect for you.
Although picture windows can be virtually any size, they are often large, designed to highlight attractive outdoor scenery—making them popular for living and dining rooms where homeowners spend much of their time.
In these situations, it is important to ensure that you choose picture windows with highly energy efficient characteristics. Windows are inherently inefficient when compared to traditional building materials, so you want to make sure that your windows incorporate energy saving features to keep your energy bills under control.
If you desire expansive views and exceptional natural lighting, but do not want to sacrifice function entirely, consider a combination window. A combination window is generally a set of windows with a large unobstructed pane of glass in the center with a combination of two or more operable windows on the sides.
Combination windows can be created with a number of different windows. A rectangular shaped direct set window flanked by double-hung or casement windows on either side is a popular choice for many homeowners—providing maximum natural light with exceptional airflow.
If you are planning for replacement or new construction window installation, consider Weather Shield windows. Weather Shield picture and combination windows provide superior elegance, energy efficiency, and durability—best of all, they're manufactured right here in the USA!
Contact us directly or find a local Weather Shield dealer in your area. Our dealers are trained and certified to install Weather Shield windows, which come with a 20 year warranty on components.

If it wasn't already obvious, Derek Jeter's latest injury confirms that his days as a full-time player are done. If it wasn't for his player option next season, his career in pinstripes could possibly be over.
With ankle and now reoccurring leg issues (and already no range at short), the Yankees will have yet another position to fill for 2014. With Eduardo Nunez being very bad at baseball and no answers in the farm system, your guess is as good as ours as to what the Yankees will do.
Furthermore, Derek's frailty underscores the greater issue that we've been harping on all season. With large contracts, old players, patchwork fixes, and no immediate help coming in the farm system, the Yankees front office should have been gearing up for 2015 and beyond — a concept that wasn't even remotely entertained judging by this year's trade deadline activity.
There is no core set of players that will carry this team for the next 3-4 years, which is why we advocated trading Robinson Cano to obtain young talent. From our lens, it appears the Yankees will continue to be reliant on a free agency system that will offer less and less elite players due to smaller market teams more frequently locking up their younger assets. Perhaps they're also banking on some of their lower level prospects becoming full-time contributors at the big league level.
The front office may have already thought this out and might see something that we don't, but the current structure of the team makes us nervous that the Duct Tape Approach™ will be the primary strategy going forward.

Build a custom TEDTalk DVD in three steps:
Each DVD is $9.99.
It's a classic underdog tale: David, a young shepherd armed only with a sling, beats Goliath, the mighty warrior. The story has transcended its biblical origins to become a common shorthand for unlikely victory. But, asks Malcolm Gladwell, is that really what the David and Goliath story is about?
Hailed as the greatest pickpocket in the world, Apollo Robbins studies the quirks of human behavior as he steals your watch. In a hilarious demonstration, Robbins samples the buffet of the TEDGlobal 2013 audience, showing how the flaws in our perception make it possible to swipe a wallet and leave it on its owner's shoulder while they remain clueless.
Diseases of the body garner sympathy, says comedian Ruby Wax -- except those of the brain. Why is that? With dazzling energy and humor, Wax, diagnosed a decade ago with clinical depression, urges us to put an end to the stigma of mental illness.
Radio host Julie Burstein talks with creative people for a living -- and shares four lessons about how to create in the face of challenge, self-doubt and loss. Hear insights from filmmaker Mira Nair, writer Richard Ford, sculptor Richard Serra and photographer Joel Meyerowitz.
Have you ever wondered: Am I a human being? Ze Frank suggests a series of simple questions that will determine this. Please relax and follow the prompts. Let's begin …
It's time for liberals and conservatives to transcend their political differences and really listen to each other, says political pundit Sally Kohn. In this optimistic talk, Kohn shares what she learned as a progressive lesbian talking head on Fox News. It's not about political correctness, she says, but rather, emotional correctness. (Contains profanity.)
Math is logical, functional and just ... awesome. Mathemagician Arthur Benjamin explores hidden properties of that weird and wonderful set of numbers, the Fibonacci series. (And reminds you that mathematics can be inspiring, too!)
One year ago, Abha Dawesar was living in blacked-out Manhattan post-Sandy, scrounging for power to connect. As a novelist, she was struck by this metaphor: Have our lives now become fixated on the drive to digitally connect, while we miss out on what's real?
David Kwong is a magician who makes crossword puzzles -- in other words, a pretty nerdy guy. And for his next trick ...
Humanity's fine-tuned sense of fear served us well as a young species, giving us laser focus to avoid being eaten by competing beasts. But it's less wonderful when that same visceral, body-hijacking sense of fear kicks in in front of 20 folk-music fans at a Tuesday night open-mic. Palms sweat, hands shake, vision blurs, and the brain says RUN: it's stage fright. In this charming, tuneful little talk, Joe Kowan talks about how he conquered it.
What kind of robots does an animator / jazz musician / roboticist make? Playful, reactive, curious ones. Guy Hoffman shows demo film of his family of unusual robots -- including two musical bots that like to jam with humans.
The music industry has sometimes struggled to find its feet in the digital world. In this lovely talk, TED Fellow Ryan Holladay tells us why he is experimenting with what he describes as "location-aware music." This programming and musical feat involves hundreds of geotagged segments of sounds that only play when a listener is physically nearby. (Filmed at TED@BCG.)

Dumb Criminals Remember To Smile For The Camera [Video]
Turning to a life of crime is never a good choice, but purposely exposing yourself while committing the crime is even worse.
Turning to a life of crime is never a good choice, but purposely exposing yourself while committing the crime is even worse.
Police need help finding the men responsible for three Genesee County robberies that all happened on the same night.
This criminal is faster than the cop, but not faster than his taser gun
A Texas couple faced every parents worst nightmare, as a robber broke into their home in the middle of the night, and made his way into the room where their newborn was sleeping peacefully.
It seems like child stars do not get the picture.
While most Americans are broke, and "just trying to make it" these young stars are living the life.
Christie Dawn Harris was arrested after police found drugs and a gun in her car, but it what they found in her private parts that make this story.
January 7th is the day that Patricia and Quentin decided that they were going to blow up a car with flaming tampons.
They attempted to stuff the "flam-pons" (flaming tampons) into any engine hole that they could, and the gas tank.
Michael Ward was pulled over for speeding in Jacksonville, North Carolina.
That is the only normal statement that this entire story has to offer.
Everything you read and see after this will be absolutely insane, but true!
When Eric Knight adopted his Chihuahua, Paco, from a shelter five years ago, he had no idea the pint-sized canine led a double-life as a superhero.
Two armed robbers who recently tried to shake down Knight's cigar store in Altadena, California found out the hard way. They got far enough in the heist that the store owner was stuffing cash into a backpack — and that's when Paco emerged, full of aggression and ear-piercing barks.

With all of the talk about the new PS4 and the Xbox One and all the next-gen games, there's really one one game I'm excited about. It's the new Advanced Edition of FTL: Faster Than Light.
At just $10, you'll get more replay value out of this one simple app than half of your console collection combined. I've put in many, many hours into this game and I've yet to beat it. It's hard, but in a good way. It challenges you to think, it challenges you to react and make decisions, and it will bring you to your knees every time, but you'll want to get back up off of the ground and try it again because you were "this close," every time.
And that's just the original version.
With the Advanced Edition, they've added tons of new stuff that will only enhance the replay value, and the killer feature that will likely make them a billion bucks once the whole world catches on: They made a version for iPad.
