Risky To Play With Fireworks
When firefighters go to the scene of a blaze, they wear heavy clothing and waterproof coats.
When bomb squads are called to defuse explosives, those guys wear big 'moon suits.'
So what do you wear on the 4th of July, when you're ready to set off fireworks in the backyard? Dr. Peter Chambers from Mayo guesses you don't have heavy clothes on, but rather shorts and sandals. Chambers says burns to exposed skin are among the most common fireworks injuries they see at the Franciscan emergency room in La Crosse. He urges people who handle fireworks to consider using skin protection, and safety goggles.
MN Parks Ready To Close During HolidayWhile Minnesota's leaders work to avoid a statewide government shutdown at midnight, some state workers are preparing to close up shop well before that hour. At Minnesota state parks, the goal is to get campers to leave before 5 p-m. Scott Pengelly, a spokesman for the D-N-R, he tells us that the demand for camping spaces is high this holiday, partly because the 4th of July falls on a Monday. Even if parks and campgrounds have to be closed due to lack of money, Pengelly says the D-N-R will make sure conservation officers will be on patrol, watching for lawbreakers. Riverfest Has ArrivedSince the early 1980's. La Crosse has celebrated the 4th of July with a riverfront festival lasting nearly a week... The 2011 Riverfest is underway now, filling Riverside Park with music, food, beer, and fun. The fest is 28 years old...actually older than La Crosse Mayor Matt Harter, by a couple of years. Harter spoke at the kickoff ceremony this morning. The mayor wore his honorary 'fleet admiral' uniform for the launch of Riverfest, fitting in with the Commodores and First Mates who have presided over the festival in those 28 years. The festival closes shortly after the fireworks on July 4th.

The D-A's office plans to charge Herrmann with vehicular homicide, hit-and-run causing death and injury, and two counts of injury by drunk driving. Herrmann is accused of crashing his pickup truck into the rear of a car on Highway 35 near the Hog Wild Bar on Saturday. Five young women from Onalaska were in the car. Theresa Kroes (cruise) died in the crash, and the other four were injured. Herrmann also was hospitalized before being transferred to the county jail yesterday. |

NagAconda: Python Instead of Perl for Nagios Plugins
The NagAconda Python tool helps when writing plugins for the Nagios monitoring tool and is available in its first open release.
Because developer Shaun M. Thomas found programming Nagios plugins as "something of a black art," he wrote the NagAconda tool based on the Nagios plugin development guidelines to simplify the process. The Python program produces plugins usable by Nagios.
Thomas has now released version 0.1.1 on the Google code page. The program is under BSD licensing. Brief documentation on NagAconda is on the Python package archive page.
Clever Pun
Don't know if anyone else has pointed this out, but apart from the obvious pun between "python' and "anaconda", there is also the word "naga" which is yet another word for "snake" in certain Indian languages.

Hong Kong shares slip
Comment on this storyHong Kong - Hong Kong shares sagged on Monday, though the Macau gambling sector regained momentum following losses last week stemming from a corruption probe and disappointing earnings.
The Hang Seng Index closed down 0.3 percent at 23,387.14 points.
The China Enterprises Index of the leading offshore Chinese listings in Hong Kong fell for a fourth straight day, dropping 0.8 percent.

Carmakers, which recently outperformed the market, led losses among H-shares.
Dongfeng Motor Group, which hit a more than two-year high last Thursday, sank 5.1 percent.

YourDogPictures.com is the newest place
where you can show your dog photos.
Papillon is a small sized toy-dog breed of the Spaniel type, its actually one of the oldest Spaniel breeds of all. The name of this breed comes from the French word "papillon" which means butterfly. This dog has a typical butterfly-like look with its long hair on the ears, hence the origin of the breeds name. Papillons are very intelligent small companion dogs, they learn new tricks and orders very easily. They have plenty of energy so they need a lot of exercise too. Papillon dog is usually friendly with other animals, kids and even strangers, but caution should be exercised when handled by young kids – the small doggy is fragile and could be seriously hurt. When handled properly, the dog can live very long, some individuals live 15 to 16 years without problems.
In case you are looking for more information about the Papilllon dog, browse around my blog and you will surely find something of interest. I have blogs about other dog breeds too, so check them out by following the links in the right column. If you are a Papillon dog owner, please send me a photo of your pet and I will post it on this site. Should you run a site about these dogs, give me the link and I will publish it here too. Thanks for your visit.

Contents tagged with MVC
Repositories gone wild
One of the very beneficial side effects of the rise of MVC in the ASP.NET world is that people started to think a lot more about separating concerns. By association, it brought along more awareness around unit testing, and that was good too. This was also the time that ORM's started to become a little more popular. The .Net world was getting more sophisticated at various levels of skill. That was a good thing.
Bootstrap in POP Forums, and why I resisted
I haven't been writing much lately, in part because I spent a good portion of my free time in the last week overhauling the POP Forums UI to use the Bootstrap framework. You can see what it looks like on the demo site. It took me a long time to cave and do this, but I think I had pretty good reasoning.
The forum app has always been at the core of my personal site projects, chief among them CoasterBuzz. I'm a little meticulous about markup and CSS. I hate having too much of it. I hated using jQuery UI because it felt like bloat. Grid frameworks always seemed to require more markup (and they still do) and global CSS almost always causes trouble with other stuff when you drop it in. All prior experiments with these things failed, and let's be honest... a two-column layout is a nut that has long since been cracked and requires very little markup or CSS. In order to bend the forums a little to match the rest of the site it would be contained in, there's incentive to keep it light in terms of CSS.
I mostly achieved this. The number of overriding classes was not huge, and more global stuff around common elements mostly worked. You could basically drop the forum inside of a div and be on your way. It even worked pretty well on tablets, and in my last significant set of tweaks back in 2012, doing a responsive design didn't feel like a priority.
And then there was the mobile experience. One of the trade-offs for responsive is that you typically end up with more markup and CSS instead of less, so I wasn't ready to fully embrace that. Some people still weren't on LTE networks either, so I was bit conscious. Since the UI rendering was done by ASP.NET MVC, it was easy to strip down the UI to mobile-specific views, and it only took a few hours to do it for the entire app, as well as CoasterBuzz. I also didn't force it, and users could choose mobile with a link at the bottom of the page. In fact, you can see it today on CB if you scroll to the bottom. It's super fast, super light weight and concentrates on the reading of text. You can debate the merits of different views vs. responsive all day, but in this case it did exactly what I wanted with very little effort.
Around the time of that CB release in 2012, Twitter open sourced Bootstrap and it was starting to get popular. Early last year, it seemed like the web in general was starting to adopt its own look and feel, largely due to Bootstrap. It's like the web as an OS started to have a UI style guide. I was finally starting to think seriously about it because its use was so widespread, and they were even baking it into the MVC project templates. Then they released v3, and it broke a lot of stuff. That threw me back into caution mode.
Since that time, several things have motivated me to reconsider Bootstrap. Again there's the bigger issue of adoption, which has become pretty epic in scope. Then there's the large number of themes, which are available in great numbers, and range from free to cheap. It isn't hard to make your own either. I've also been dissatisfied with using mobile ad formats, because they don't pay, and the regular ones aren't well suited to mobile specific UI. After two years of phone upgrade cycles, more people have more bandwidth and faster connections. On top of that, the devices themselves are faster at rendering. Oh, and most importantly, Bootstrap itself has very clearly matured. That's pretty compelling.
So I made the revisions and committed them. The admin pages haven't been updated, but I'll get there. I feel like this gives me a good fresh start to make more changes and continue to see its evolution.
The ugly evolution of running a background operation in the context of an ASP.NET app
If you're one of the two people who has followed my blog for many years, you know that I've been going at POP Forums now for over almost 15 years. Publishing it as an open source app has been a big help because it helps me understand how people want to use it, and having it translated to six languages is pretty sweet. Despite this warm and fuzzy group hug, there has been an ugly hack hiding in there for years.
Decoupling OWIN external authentication from ASP.NET Identity
One of the nicest features of the forthcoming release for the ASP.NET Web stack is the inclusion of bits around external authentication. It makes it stupid easy to add login capability through Google, Facebook and such. Coupled to this in the default project templates is a tie to the new ASP.NET Identity, which is a replacement for the old (and frankly crappy) Membership API. This new thing uses Entity Framework and is extensible and neat-o.
When the Google beats on your SignalR
Around the end of April, I put v11 of POP Forums into production on CoasterBuzz. Probably the biggest feature of that release was all of the new real-time stuff in the forum, with new posts appearing before your eyes and in the topic lists and such. This was all enabled in part by SignalR, the framework that allows for bidirectional communication between the browser and the server over an open connection (or simulated open connection, depending on the browser).
Building a live blog app in Windows Azure
If you're a technology nerd, then you've probably seen one technology news site or another do a "live blog" at some product announcement. This is basically a page on the Web where text and photo updates stream into the page as you sit there and soak it in. I don't remember which year these started to appear, but you may recall how frequently they failed. The traffic would overwhelm the site, and down it would go.
POP Forums v11 for ASP.NET MVC posted, with SingalR goodness
Real-world SignalR example, ditching ghetto long polling
One of the highlights of BUILD last week was the announcement that SignalR, a framework for real-time client to server (or cloud, if you will) communication, would be a real supported thing now with the weight of Microsoft behind it. Love the open source flava!
POP Forums v10 for ASP.NET MVC 4 posted to CodePlex
A debugging experience with "highly compatible" ASP.NET 4.5
I have to admit that I will pretty much upgrade software for no reason other than being on the latest version. I won't do it if it's super expensive (Adobe gets money from me about once every three or four years at best), but particularly with frameworks and stuff generally available as part of my MSDN subscription, I'll be bleeding edge. CoasterBuzz was running on the MVC 4 framework pretty much as soon as they did a "go live" license for it.

I trying to figure out a method of doing contemporary drums, where I can
edit in a matrix like environment but then get separate Jack outputs for
each drum to allow for DSP'ing. I currently use Rosegarden synced to Ardour.
Rosegarden will not allow splitting notes to different channels - though
Muse does, but that means I have to run both (I don't know if they'll play
happy together). I revisited hydrogen again recently, but it won't load gig
or sf2, as far as I can see (Has some nice kits though). I like the idea of
using Linuxsampler to do drums but I can't see a way of directing one drum
to one engine / output and another to another. I feel like there is a simple
solution here that I'm missing, it must be a very common requirement in
digital audio. Anyone got any suggestions ?Cheers,

Oct. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Coffee futures jumped the most in seven weeks on signs that weakness in the U.S. labor market eased, bolstering demand for most commodities. Sugar fell.
Claims for unemployment benefits increased less than forecast last week, government data showed. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said this week that the central bank was ready to take more steps to support the economy. The Standard & Poor's GSCI index of 24 raw materials climbed for the second straight day. Coffee prices rose to a one-week high.
"There's follow-through buying from the Bernanke comments, and a lot of fear has come out of the market," Fain Shaffer, the president of Infinity Trading Corp. in Medford, Oregon, said in a telephone interview. "Money is starting to flow back into commodities, and funds are coming back to coffee."
Arabica coffee for December delivery advanced 6.7 cents, or 2.9 percent, to settle at $2.344 a pound at 2 p.m. on ICE Futures U.S. in New York. The gain was the biggest for a most- active contract since Aug. 17. Earlier, the commodity reached $2.361, the highest since Sept. 28.
Raw-sugar futures for March delivery fell 0.16 cent, or 0.6 percent, to 24.64 cents a pound in New York. It was the fourth decline in five sessions.
In London futures trading, robusta coffee and cocoa rose, while refined sugar dropped on NYSE Liffe.

Perry Scott Nash Join Acoura
25 November, 2013
Perry Scott Nash join the Acoura Group enabling end-to-end coverage of the food supply chain.
New investment, by Acoura, into Perry Scott Nash Ltd (PSN) looks set to pave the way for the group to provide a full range of risk services across the entire breadth of the food supply chain.
Headquartered in Edinburgh and established in 2011, Acoura was created to build a market leading provider of risk management, certification, training, inspection and advisory services covering everything from farms to food processors, retail outlets and food service businesses.
Based in Stevenage, PSN is one of the UK's leading providers of risk management solutions to the food services sector. Over 40% of the food that passes through the UK supply chain is sold via the food service sector which includes hospitals, schools, hotels, pubs and restaurants.
PSN will join Acoura's existing divisions FCI (fisheries) and SFQC (agriculture and food processing) at a time where the sector faces growing demands for greater transparency and traceability as well as changes to its regulatory framework.
Both FCI and SFQC have a long history of working in partnership with some of the UK's best recognised and respected assurance schemes and standards. These include BRC, Quality Meat Scotland, Red Tractor, Scottish Quality Crops, The Scottish Organic Producers Association and The Scottish Salmon Producers' Association.
Paul Egan, Chairman of Acoura, said:
"I am delighted that PSN has decided to join the Acoura Group. This partnership will allow our business to offer a truly end-to-end capability to our customers who operate across the food supply chain.
"This transaction comes at a time when the Acoura Group is investing heavily in developing new services and data solutions which will help customers better manage compliance and the risks inherent within their business.
"PSN was a natural fit for Acoura, with a shared cultural ethos and focus on delivering excellence in customer service. I am also extremely pleased that founder and Chairman Pat Perry will be continuing in post and joining the Acoura Board to help us drive the business forward.
"The move also comes at a particularly exciting time for us. This has been evidenced by the Group's recent contract win to provide assurance services to Arla Foods, the UK's number one dairy company. This service is underpinned by Acoura's new digital solutions combined with real food supply chain expertise."
Pat Perry, Chairman of PSN, said:
"I am excited about the opportunities PSN will have as part of the Acoura Group. We will be able to offer our clients a wide range of services and greater expertise and technological support.
"The compliance agenda is changing and the Acoura Group will be in prime position to advise and support businesses in achieving regulatory compliance.
"PSN will be an important part of the Acoura Group and I am delighted that PSN's future has been secured and that I can continue to do what I love - helping clients understand the regulations that affect their business."
Keep an eye on the Acoura website over the coming weeks to find out more about the services Perry Scott Nash will be able to offer our customers.

Bob Garfield appears in the following:
Invasive Cavity Search at the Border
Friday, February 28, 2014
"Jane Doe" is a 54-year old US citizen who was crossing into the US at the Juarez/El Paso border when agents took her aside for secondary screening. The screening ended up being 6 hours of invasive cavity searches—which yielded nothing and left her traumatized. Bob speaks with Laura Schauer Ives, an ACLU attorney for Jane Doe about what happened at the border that day.
My Detainment Story or: How I Learned To Stop Feeling Safe In My Own Country and Hate Border Agents
Friday, February 28, 2014
Back in September, OTM producer Sarah Abdurrahman, her family, and her friends were detained for hours by US Customs and Border Protection on their way home from Canada. Everyone being held was a US citizen, and no one received an explanation. Sarah tells the story of their detainment, and her difficulty getting any answers from one of the least transparent agencies in the country.
Drone Law
Friday, February 21, 2014
A rash of state laws considered or passed in 2013 seek to rein in drone surveillance. They offer a patchwork of restrictions that seem to reflect the particular culture, or business interests, of individual states. Bob talks with Margot Kaminski, executive director of the Information Society Project and a lecturer at Yale Law School, who has surveyed the legal landscape and noticed a trend.
Protests in Ukraine
Friday, February 21, 2014
Before an agreement was brokered Friday, the standoff in Kiev between Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych's government and the loose coalition of anti-government forces was bloody and telegenic. Bob examines what those gripping images tell us, and what they don't.
Rewriting History
Friday, February 21, 2014
Historical understanding doesn't always move ahead. Sometimes it slips backwards. Case in point: In 2012, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of official US involvement in Vietnam, the Pentagon quietly launched VietnamWar50th.com. Bob talks to historian Nick Turse, the author of Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam, who noticed that the website's version of the war seems stuck in the past, reasserting misinformation long since debunked by journalists, historians, and the government's own Pentagon papers.
Fighting Telecom Giants
Friday, February 21, 2014
All across the country, communities are fighting to build their own broadband internet networks as an alternative to the services offered by big cable companies. However, these efforts have often been thwarted by legislation lobbied for by, you guessed it, the cable companies. Bob talks with James Baller, president of the Baller Herbst Law group, who has long been leading the legal charge on behalf of municipalities.
Cake - Fashion Nugget
No, US Press Freedom Is Not In Dire Decline
Friday, February 14, 2014
This week, the advocacy group Reporters Without Borders released its annual World Press Freedom Index, ranking the media environment of nearly every nation on earth from most free to least. The United States landed, embarrassingly, in 46th place, a 13-place drop from last year. The rank -- below Lithuania, El Salvador and Botswana -- has set off a panic-stricken (and in some instances, gleeful) barrage of media coverage declaring that press freedom in the US is "plunging," "plummeting," and "profoundly eroding." Bob talks with Washington Post foreign affairs blogger Max Fisher about why he's suspicious of these headlines.
Friday, February 14, 2014
In the past OTM has covered sock-puppetry -- the act of assuming another persona online to praise or defend the work of your real self. We've seen it done by art critics, comic book artists, and politicians. Well, now it's an orthodox rabbi. Bob speaks with Steven I. Weiss, an anchor and managing editor at The Jewish Channel, about the rabbi and his online persona.
The (Not So) All-Knowing NSA
Friday, February 14, 2014
Last week the Washington Post reported that the NSA collects less than 30% of phone metadata, contrary to the popular perception that all call activity is being gathered en masse. As it turns out, the agency is unable to keep up with the explosion in cell phone use, which raises significant questions about the efficacy and potency of the program. Bob talks with Ellen Nakashima who wrote the story for the Washington Post.
Water Under the Bridgegate?
Friday, February 14, 2014
When a benign traffic jam due to lane closings on the George Washington Bridge was revealed to be politically motivated revenge exacted by NJ Gov. Chris Christie's top aides, all hell broke loose. After tales of the Christie administration's dirty tricks became national news, here's a look at the shift in media coverage, and how Christie could emerge stronger than before the scandal.
Taking Sense Away
Friday, February 14, 2014
Jason Harrington worked as a Transportation Security Administration officer at O'Hare airport in Chicago for seven years. Harrington quickly became disgruntled. Not just with the day-to-day absurdity of carrying out what he saw as ineffective security tactics, but by how much the TSA kept away from the public. So, he started writing a blog, anonymously, called Taking Sense Away. Bob speaks to Harrington about his time in the TSA and his Politico article "Dear America. I Saw You Naked. And, Yes, We Were Laughing" which unmasked his anonymity.
Behind the Scandal of "Japan's Beethoven"
Friday, February 14, 2014
This week Japanese Olympic figure skater, Daisuke Takahashi, found himself in the midst of national scandal, through no fault of his own. Takahashi skated his short program to a piece of music that had been initially attributed to Mamoru Samuragochi, known as "Japan's Beethoven," who was recently revealed to be neither a composer, nor possibly even deaf. Bob talks with Roland Kelts, author of JapanAmerica, about the revelations and the Japanese media's reaction to them.
The Media Shrugs, Again
Friday, February 14, 2014
Republican Congressman Jim Bridenstine was recently working a crowd of seniors in his Oklahoma district and complaining about President Obama, when a constituent raised her hand and called the president an "enemy combatant" who should be "executed." Congressman Bridenstine responded not by objecting to her statement, but rather by stoking the flames with his own angry anti-Obama rant. A video of the event was posted online, but triggered little attention. Bob ponders the ubiquity of vile, ignorant, and just plain crackpot speech among elected officials, and the extent to which the public, and the media, fail to care.
"Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing"
Friday, February 07, 2014
On Sunday before the Super Bowl kickoff, President Obama sat down with Bill O'Reilly for a rare one-on-one interview. O'Reilly asked the President about the rocky roll out of Obamacare, the attack in Benghazi, and the alleged targeting of conservative groups by the IRS. What did we learn? Conor Friedersdorf, staff writer for the Atlantic, says... nothing much at all. Bob talks with Friedersdorf about the performance and spectacle in this presidential sit down.
Down to Earth
In Russia, Not Covering Sports
Friday, February 07, 2014
NBC spent $775 million for the rights to the Olympic games, and will provide more than 1500 hours of coverage - most of it on the events themselves. But its also sent reporters to cover Russia's many political subplots. Bob speaks with NBC Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel about being deployed to cover the political backdrop to the Olympics.
Olympics Forever
Egypt's Widening Crackdown on Dissent
Friday, January 31, 2014
Three years after the euphoric toppling of Hosni Mubarak's authoritarian regime, there's a tragic sense of déjà vu in Egypt. The military-led government is smothering dissent, whether it comes from the Muslim brotherhood, liberal activists, bloggers, or journalists. In a landscape in which both state and private media toe the military line, the online newspaper Mada Masr is a rare independent voice. Bob speaks with the paper's editor-in-chief, Lina Attalah, about how she's experiencing the crackdown.
Stephen Glass Can't Be a Lawyer
Friday, January 31, 2014
Earlier this week the California Supreme Court ruled that Stephen Glass could not become a lawyer in the state. Bob considers whether that was the right decision.
Up in...Vapor?
Friday, January 31, 2014
It's been 50 years since the Surgeon General linked tobacco smoking with cancer and other diseases. Amid widespread bans on public smoking, jurisdictions such as New York City are expanding the bans to include fake smoke -- the battery-heated glycol vapor produced by e-cigarettes. Former New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn defended the city's new restrictions, saying e-cigarettes "normalize" the appearance of lighting up. Bob speaks to Amy Fairchild, a professor of sociomedical sciences at Columbia University, to ask if you can really ban an image?
Combating "Bad" Speech With More Speech
Friday, January 24, 2014
The blogger Crystal Cox has also targeted First Amendment lawyer Marc Randazza, his wife, and their toddler. Bob spoke to Randazza in the Spring of 2012 about how Cox's actions were testing his free speech values. Since then, Randazza decided to take her to court and won. (He told us this week that his legal strategy had nothing to do with the content of Cox's speech and were instead based on domain law. His court arguments are available upon request, for free, if you ever find yourself in Cox's cross hairs). Randazza also blogs at The Legal Satyricon.
On "Dr. V's Magical Putter"
Friday, January 24, 2014
Last week, ESPN's Grantland ran a remarkable story titled "Dr. V's Magical Putter," a journalistic odyssey that began with curiosity about a supposedly revolutionary golf club, and ended by focusing on the chaotic life of its inventor, a woman named Essay Anne Vanderbilt. The reporter, Caleb Hannan, discovered that Vanderbilt was transgender, and he revealed his knowledge of this fact to Vanderbilt. Shortly after, Vanderbilt committed suicide. Bob speaks with ESPN.com writer and transgender activist, Christina Kahrl, to understand the errors in "Dr. V's Magical Putter."

At this time of year there's some black topsoil showing in my garden and I really don't like it, I want a lush grown look all summer long(late summer the garden has filled out though quite well). I don't mean big empty spots, I have nice plants everywhere but I'm looking for suggestiongs for some quickly spreading, nice looking plants that could fill out those empty spaces between the "main" plants.
I live in South Finland, just to give direction about the climate. I appreciate any suggestions! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Some plant suggestions might be easier to provide if we knew the cold and heat extremes or your region. But without knowing anything about the temperature ranges and solar exposure, I would say some type of emphemeral (i.e spring blooming) bulb plant would work for you like a daffodil or hyacinth. It comes in like a lion and leaves like a lamb ready for the next cast of players to take the stage! |

South Finland? Alyssum and lobelia will grow and spread quickly from seed. start it indoors and plant out as soon as you can. Spring bulbs, as already mentioned, can be planted this fall for next year. |
Suggest you repost your question on the Perennials Forum where you should receive some helpful suggestions. I am not certain of your growing zone but Bergenia and primoses might be good filler plants to consider. Also, almost unknown is the fact that peony foliage can be cut back to the ground with no harm to next year's growth about the end of July. I have often used this method in my perennial garden designs to fill in blank spaces while waiting for fall blooming perennials to shape up. |

By Old Yank Schneider: Who do you want to win? Who do the sanctioning bodies want to win? Who do the writers want to win? Who does Las Vegas want to win? Who do the Boxing Gods want to win? Oh, if I could read your mind Oh, if you could read my mind What does want really mean? I want a black fighter to win. I want a technician to win. I want a white hope to win. I want a last man standing kind of fighter to win. I want a stalk, stun and floor fighter to win. I want an entertaining fighter to win. I want a busy fighter to win. I want a legend to win. I want Do you really have a clue what you want? Yes, damn it; I do know what I want! I want blood! I want power! I want blazing speed! I want ebb and flow! I want skill against skill! I want shots thrown that Compubox has trouble keeping up with! I want to see defense that would make Pernell Whitaker cry! I want to see offense that would make George Foreman cry! I want to see a classic of experience against youth that would make Gene Fulmer and Sugar Ray Robinson cry! I know damn well what I want! I want to see the best fight the best. I want to see the unmade matches of eras gone by that would make Joe Calzaghe and Roy Jones, Jr. cry. Wait! What? I want WHAT? Are you kidding me? Yes! I want to see the fantasy matches that we thought wed never see. Calzaghe/Jones is exactly one of those fantasy matches I thought was going to pass me by. Hell yes! It is way past due! But every once in a while boxing comes to those who wait. And waiting is a tough game by anyones standards. The wait will be worth it. Joe Calzaghe is going to prove that he is the virtual fountain of youth that he showed he was against Jeff Lacy, Peter Manfredo and Mikkel Kessler. He will be facing the 39 year old legend Roy Jones, Jr. a man 3 years his senior. Roy Jones, Jr. is and will always be a legend in the ring. But his time is over. Many would argue that his time was over years ago. I will argue that he has one more great fight left in him, but it will be one great fight lost to one fighter that has always been greater than him, Joe Calzaghe. The American boxing landscape has always been a myopic landscape a landscape littered with legends that are the creation of American media and void of legends that have largely passed under the radar. Joe Calzaghe is just such a legend that has been largely miffed-off by the American media passing under the radar. His skills, power, defense, flash and finish style largely unnoticed by American fans, will be the keys to this bout. Oh, they have noticed his storied frail hands, but know little more about him than his career from the Lacy bout forward. Americans will be stunned by how easily he handles Roy Jones, Jr. They will look at his performance in total bewilderment myopic will prove to be an understatement. If you could read my mind then you would know just how much in solidarity I stand with the fans of Cardiff. Calzaghe will win this one with ease.

Fight Night knockouts
Injecting a bit of realism into fights doesn't mean they have to be any less satisfying when it comes to the crunch of knuckles on jawbones, as the ultra-technical (and ridiculously fun) Fight Night series taught us. Pulling off an uppercut as a knockout move here gives you a slow-motion, multi-angled view of the hit, as your glove's impact sends ripples through your opponent's face (and a good amount of spit, sweat and blood flying in all directions).
We could just show you a few more pictures of this, but that wouldn't do it justice. And if you haven't played the Fight Night games, then you really need to see it in action:
Dudley's Rolling Thunder
As intensely gratifying as realistic knockouts can be, a little over-the-top silliness courtesy of Street Fighter IV doesn't hurt. Seeing an opponent collapse after a straight-up power shot to the dome is great, sure, but it can't quite compare with launching them about 10 feet straight up after a flurry of punches.
Here, watch the whole thing in action for maximum enjoyment:
Mortal Kombat's basic uppercut
Easy to perform and screen-shakingly devastating, uppercuts in the first four Mortal Kombat games were simple attacks shared by nearly every character. They were an icon of the series, as well as an easy way for beginners to kick ass and see lots of blood in a hurry. They were also a reasonably satisfying finisher, if you didn't know any real fight-ending Fatalities.
Of course, they became an actual Fatality once you reached the Pit stage, where a post-fight uppercut would send your opponent careening off the narrow platform…
… and into a bed of bloody spikes:
Above: OH NOES
The stage-Fatality became so popular that the next game featured three of them, and they quickly became a staple of the series – especially in the third game (where it was also possible to uppercut your opponent through the ceiling and into a completely different stage). Rather than recap them all one at a time, here's a handy YouTube video that details every Pit Fatality from the first three games:
Of course, uppercuts were an actual part of several legitimate Fatalities, most notably Liu Kang's somersault-kick-and-uppercut combo. While an insufferably lame way to finish off an opponent in the first game (apart from maybe over the Pit), the move gained a considerable amount of savagery the second time around.
Of course, it was still fairly gentle compared to Johnny Cage's primary Fatality, which was to uppercut his opponent's head right the hell off:
As if that wasn't a rewarding-enough way to end a match, holding down a few extra buttons in the second MK would make him do it again…
… and again.
Sadly, the uppercuts became less of a universal staple when MK moved into its more "realistic" phase with Deadly Alliance, Deception, Armageddon and vs DC Universe, but we know for a fact that they're returning exactly as we remember in the new, upcoming Mortal Kombat. Here's to once again spilling a quart of the red stuff every time we connect.
Before Street Fighter II's release, uppercuts were a badass way to floor your opponents. After Street Fighter II's release, they were a damn art form. This is almost entirely because of Ryu's Shoryuken (aka dragon punch), which quickly became one of the franchise's most recognizable signature moves, as well as the basis for one of gaming's most legendary April Fool's jokes).
It's not difficult to see why, as the basic dragon punch is so instantly fulfilling that it's been ripped off by just about every 2D fighter worth a damn. This is even after Ken's arguably superior version added flames to literally set opponents on fire, something that hasn't been as widely copied.
It's also not even counting all the other SF-specific imitations that sprang up in the dragon punch's wake, like Sagat's Tiger Uppercut. It's more or less indistinguishable from the Shoryuken, apart from the flip at the end, the multiple hits on the way up and the amount of damage it deals out.
A couple of our other favorites: Sakura's Shouoken, a multi-hit dragon punch with a running start for an extra thrill:
And Dudley's Jet Upper, which looks even cooler as the three-stage, whirlwind-enhanced Rocket Upper:
Despite his hundreds of imitators, though, Ryu's ordinary Shoryuken remains the untouchable classic. Even in Super Street Fighter IV, you can tell where the developers' real love lies; while Ken gets a flashy Ultra Combo Shoryuken that looks like this:
Ryu's is possibly the single most dramatic move in the game, actually muting the music so you can hear every detail of how cool it sounds to punch a human chin in slow motion:

A Tempe judge's e-mail has landed him on a list of people the Maricopa County Attorney's Office believes have credibility problems in court.
Tempe West Justice of the Peace Victor "Mike" Wilkins made the "Brady List" last year after the state's judicial watchdog commission secretly sanctioned him for the email, mistreating a Tempe police officer and his unwillingness to read a search warrant before signing it, according to records obtained by the Tribune.
In the November 2002 email, Wilkins told a Tempe police commander after signing a search warrant that "I can't find probable cause and don't know even what crime is being investigated."
Probable cause is the standard of proof required to search someone's property.
The e-mail compromised the warrant's validity, prompting the county attorney to drop prosecution of two suspects in a major fraudulent-identification scheme, said Paul Ahler, chief deputy of the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.
The Tempe Police Department, which pointed out the problem to the county attorney, quit using Wilkins for warrants for a while, but resumed mostly out of need and convenience, Sgt. Dan Masters said.
The county attorney's office filed a complaint with the Commission on Judicial Conduct, which reprimanded Wilkins in April 2003.
The county attorney's office also placed him on the Brady List. The list contains about 50 Valley police officers whose truthfulness, bias and traits are considered questionable. The name refers to a 1963 U.S. Supreme Court decision that requires the state to disclose any evidence that is favorable to the defendant.
Now, for criminal cases in which Wilkins signed a search warrant, prosecutors are required to analyze whether the issue will affect their cases and file extra paperwork with Superior Court judges.
From July 2003 until March, 177 warrants have been issued out of the West Tempe justice court, according to court records.
Wilkins did not respond to two interview requests left on his office voice mail. Wilkins' lawyer, Rodney G. Johnson, said in written statements to the commission that it was not the judge's intent to communicate to the police commander that the warrant was issued without probable cause.
E. Keith Stott, executive director of the commission, said a reprimand is given for conduct that is unacceptable or improper, but not serious enough to warrant removal proceedings.

Many mitochondrial proteins are synthesized with N-terminal presequences in the cytosol. The presequence translocase of the inner mitochondrial membrane (TIM23) translocates preproteins into and across the membrane and associates with the matrix-localized import motor. The TIM23 complex consists of three core components and Tim21, which interacts with the translocase of the outer membrane (TOM) and the respiratory chain. We have identified a new subunit of the TIM23 complex, the inner membrane protein Mgr2. Mitochondria lacking Mgr2 were deficient in the Tim21-containing sorting form of the TIM23 complex. Mgr2 was required for binding of Tim21 to TIM23(CORE), revealing a binding chain of TIM23(CORE)-Mgr2/Tim21-respiratory chain. Mgr2-deficient yeast cells were defective in growth at elevated temperature, and the mitochondria were impaired in TOM-TIM23 coupling and the import of presequence-carrying preproteins. We conclude that Mgr2 is a coupling factor of the presequence translocase crucial for cell growth at elevated temperature and for efficient protein import.

Daphna Le Gall
Hi Rocky! My name is Daphna Le Gall, and I will be an RCA in Witherspoon for the 2014-2015 school year. It's my third year living in Spoon and I'm so excited to be returning to both the best college and the best building on campus! I am a senior concentrating in Politics and pursuing a certificate in American Studies, and I hail from the great state of New Jersey. On campus, I write for the Editorial Board of The Prince and work in Marquand Library (which, in my unbiased opinion, is one of the prettiest study spots on campus). I also love traveling, baking, and spending time with friends. When not hanging out in Witherspoon, I can be found attempting to study in Cafe Viv or Starbucks. I am so excited to meet all of you and to welcome you to the best residential college on campus!

'Game of Thrones' actor's ear bitten off
"Game of Thrones" English actor Clive Mantle had a piece of his ear bitten off at a U.K. hotel on Sunday.
According to ABC News, Mantle, 55, was attacked upon requesting fellow guests at a Newcastle-upon-Tyne Travelodge to lower the noise. His agent informed BBC that the top portion of Mantle's ear was eventually recovered and reattached.
A Scotland man, 32, will be taken to a magistrate court next month after being charged with wounding with intent.

Source: A filing with the Japanese Patent Office, unearthed by Siliconera.
What we heard: If Clover Studios had to go, Okami represented a fine swan song. The studio, which formed in 2004 under a number of Japanese gaming industry heavyweights, was shut down by Capcom in October 2006, not a month after the acclaimed action adventure saw release for the PlayStation 2 in the US. That game was ported to the Wii in 2008, courtesy of God of War: Chains of Olympus developer Ready at Dawn.
It now appears as if the Okami franchise may live on beyond its Wii port, if a relatively new trademark filing with the Japanese Patent Office is any indication. As first spotted by Siliconera and translated by GameSpot, Capcom filed to trademark the term Okamiden with the JPO in July 2009 (application no. 2009-051624). In its description, items ranging from video game software to mobile phone straps and collectible trading cards could be covered by the trademark.
Unfortunately, the trademark filing does not offer any additional details. However, with the Tokyo Game Show set to run September 24-27, Capcom still has a substantial venue yet open to it to make the reveal.
The official story: Capcom had not returned requests for comment as of press time.
Bogus or not bogus?: With so little information to go on, this one's bogus for now. However, Capcom certainly has the option open, even if it did shut down the studio that made the well-received original.

Bees need a hive to thrive. It is their home and any beekeeper should set up a beekeeping hive because eventually, that is where they're going to get the honey. If you want to learn how to set up a beekeeping hive, just follow the simple steps below:
Materials:- Bee smokers- Beekeeper gloves- 3 pounds of bees- Beekeeping equipment- Some beekeeping journals- Bee feeders- Holly seeds- Bee veils- Honey locust seeds- Bee medications- Sweet clover seeds- Pens
Step #1: The perfect time to set up the hive is before early spring so you can catch the first nectar flow. During which time, purchase 3 pounds of bees and place them inside the hive you made earlier or a ready-made hive that you bought.
Step #2: Feed the bees until they begin to produce honey. This usually happens when the plants and trees start to bloom.
Step #3: Check the bees regularly for any signs of disease.
Step #4: When the six frames of the hive are filled with capped honey, add a super.
Remember to:
1. Coordinate with city ordinances involving beekeeping hives.2. Place your beekeeping hive in a location that gets morning sunlight but is kept in a shade in the late afternoon.3. Avoid locations that are near pathways or your neighbor's yard.4. Ensure that bees can access a water source that doesn't require them to go all the way to your neighbor.5. Plant flowers and shrubs that have pollen and that attract bees.

Councilman Danny Dromm (D-Jackson Heights), Board of Elections Executive Director Michael Ryan and residents celebrated the reopening of two polling sites in Jackson Heights on April 9, after they had been shuttered for about two years.
The BOE had changed polling sites for the 46th and 47th Election Districts in the 39th Assembly District from PS 69 on 37th Avenue to PS 222 on the same street about a half mile away. In addition, Renaissance Charter School on 81st Street had also been closed.
The distance between PS 69 and PS 222 doesn't seem like much but according to Dromm and many Jackson Heights residents, for the many seniors who make up a significant number of voters in the district, a half mile can make a big difference.
The polling location at the charter school was closed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The school's elevator had not been working, making it inaccessible, which prompted its removal from the list of polling sites.
According to Dromm, the inoperable elevator — which is now in working order —was not brought to the BOE's attention, which is why it remained a polling place for as a long as it did.
The decision to remove the two schools from the polling site list, made two years ago, will now be reversed which Dromm said will encourage more voters to participate in upcoming elections.
"The original change of voting sites to PS 222 for many Jackson Heights and Elmhurst residents meant the difference between voting or not voting because of the long distance they had to walk to get there," Dromm said.
The councilman added that he even used his own car to drive groups of seniors to the school until the problem could be resolved.
"I am ecstatic that I am back at my home polling place at PS 69," Jackson Heights resident Abby Drucker said. "I was appalled that for the last number of years, it became so much more difficult to vote.
"Changing polling sites after decades of going to the same site and making registered voters travel by foot or public and private transportation far from home discouraged many eligible voters from participating because of age, disability or the inability to get to polling places during voting hours."

I am curious as to the question content that people have come across on SATAS so I can attempt to narrow my focus
-Thanks in advance! -
2Jul 25, '13 by CT Pixie, ASN, RNEvery person's test is different. The content of my SATA's may or may not be the same as the person sitting next to me or the person who took it the day before or days later.
Honestly, I know I had at least 20 SATA but I couldn't tell you what the content of the questions were to save my soul. I couldn't tell you ANYTHING that was on my test.....its all a blur -
0Jul 25, '13 by BloopBloopI finished in 75 questions and got maybe 4 SATA. Most management questions, and one exhibit where they give you a client's H&P, labs, scripts, and d/c teaching; they asked which of the following would not part of d/c teaching. It was incredibly easy, just looked at the chart and whatever wasn't on the chart was the answer.
0Jul 25, '13 by snugglyprincessLook for key words that makes the SATA's. like all, none, etc. that is how i narrowed mine down. And know what not to say to a pt.
0Jul 25, '13 by LVN.RN.GUYI had 6+ SATA on my exam, 4 drag and drop, 3 pictures. NO EKG tho. just focus on key words in sata...as per kaplan treat sata as true or false.. read the kaplan test taking strat, it is worth it. for qna use lippincott's, i took my exam July 16 and I passed after checking it on quick results.
1Jul 25, '13 by Second Chance RNI took the NCLEX earlier this month, 75 questions, I marked on the white board every SATA..... I had 27!!!! If I remember there were a few that had 7 - 9 options. I used the true/false system to answer them. I passed!!!

0Jul 25, '13 by SwellzI probably had 15-20 SATA's of varying topics, so I can't help you there.
My strategy for those was to make each option a true or false question and select them that way. Of course, it doesn't help when you don't know lol but that's just how I thought of them.
I had gotten feedback from other graduates from my school that the NCLEX was easier than Kaplan; I disagreed except for the SATA questions. I definitely felt the options were more straightforward in the NCLEX than they were in Kaplan's qbank. Just a thought. -
0Jul 25, '13 by ash.harper7I took (and passed!!) my test Jul 15 and only had 75 questions, of those only about 6 were SATA, the rest was multiple choice 2 exhibits and 1 EKG. those 6 SATAs were basically asking symptoms of a certain disease dealing with GI and Maternity. My tip would be to look at the question, dissect what it's asking and treat the options as a true/false. Remember that all the choices are never the answer and neither is only 1.
0Jul 26, '13 by Caffeinated RNA majority of my test was SATA...maybe 60-70%. I passed in 75.
Everyone is different,though.

They're both frye boots. I might have to get the one on the left. It fits all my criteria and their stuff is awesome.
The left is the frye james and right is the frye philip. I think they have different versions of each one with lugged soles vs leather soles vs brown leather vs distressed leather, etc. Those are the combinations I like best because they can look professional while still take a beating and go well with jeans for a night out!
