Khloé is standing by her husband after Kim accused him of making 'wrong choices & decisions.' Which sister do YOU side with?
Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom have been through a lot in the past few months — not only was Lamar dropped from the Dallas Mavericks, but he and Khloé also decided to leave Texas and take a break from their E! reality show — and the last thing they need is a judgmental sister in their ear. So when Kim Kardashian tweeted that "someone" was making "wrong choices & decisions," Khloé had to fire back.
"Judge not before you judge yourself," Khloé tweeted May 2. "Judge not if you're not ready for judgment."
Whoa! We've never seen a Bob Marley quote used in a fight before.
Which sister do YOU side with, HollywoodLifers?

To be honest, who is Kim to say anybody is making wrong decisions? She has no place to say when Lamar is making bad decisions. I think Khloe is one of the best Kardashians, along with Kourt, because they are nowhere near as fame hungry as Kim, so how dare Kim, who rushes into marriages and basically hogs the limelight, say anyone is making bad decisions.

I honestly think Khloe is the best of Kardashian clan, she's also the prettiest of the sisters in my opinion. Kim just needs to shut the hell up. She's a whore who can't manage to have a marriage last for more than 72 days as we've seen so she should be the absolutely, positively be the last person to open her mouth on marital issues. Stick to the sex tapes Kim.

Kim – butt the hell out of Khloe and Lamar's business – they are making all the right choices and decisions. They know that their marriage and Lamar's career are important choices. Kim would not have the first clue – Kris Jenner is always there to wipe her backside. Not a brain in her head and no heart – she is not even divorced and already hooked up with another man! SHAMELESS.
Khloe and Lamar will do what is right for them.

I agree totally with what Lamar and Khloe are doing. A relationship should come first, unlikd the bomb that sister Kim did with Blake. Blake did not deserve what Kim did to him so who is she to give Khloe advice. By the way Kim, take about half of that botox out of your lips, they nare half the size of your big head!!! Geez!!!
Posted at 6:55 PM on May 3, 2012
Guess What i think khloe and Lamar need a break if she want that is because they put their Relationshop first and when coming back the show may be will more fun to watch some time a lot of drama is bored but if they have drama plus comedy,and fun stuff,we loves to see them more,for now they need time far away from the cameras,at least they can recorder in private if they want to share more later in a new reality show Great.I am not fN OF THSE KIND OR PROGRAM.but one i changed the channel and pay atention to their show.I was interest to watching the show now i also fan of Texas team cause Lamar in this team,my heart is with New York Basketballand now with Dallas Texas MAVERICKS.I like only police and Detectives dramas but now i like Khloe and Lamar reality show.

I don't know why Kim has an opinion and her sister life,she is not a good sample of being correct in her life,she married just for reality show bu….. and her sister is a beautiful woman inside and out side,she really loves her husband she is not with him for money or more fame,Mr.Khloe do everything for his man,she stand for him,support him whjen he does not feel positive and the same time continued building their life together like any other couple and this the only reality show i ever like cause look real and they are sweet couple,you can see he loves her so much and she is a very normal wife not fake like other shows they just acting for the rating or worried about how they look ,or show how rich they are,with a lot surgeries in her body to look seky but not real and KIm just HUMILLIATED A VERY NICE GUY just for reality show is the last person who can advice her smart,beautiful and sweet KHLOE.Does she want fail? and also i want to advise her if for any reason she does not have a baby,she can adopted like Sandra Bullock,or Brad Pitt'lovely wife.They have a lot of love to give for beatiful children that need and died to have one mammy and a nice dad.

We should not be fooled by any of the stories being put out by or about the Ks. Remember….the new season is about to air shortly and they will do anything to stay in the media and to keep the attention on themselves. And, although I (too) tend to post my thoughts occasionally, I often have the feeling that I am commenting on things that are false – except when I know for sure that a particular story has been confirm. That said, we should always keep an open mind when it comes to the Ks.

Don't believe for a moment these two are having a feud. Their tweets are very evasive, they could be tweeting to anyone since no twitter names are mentioned. Sounds like something pimp mom would start up so people will watch KUWTK thinking Kim and her half-sister are on the outs.
Posted at 6:31 PM on May 2, 2012
haha re 'halfsister'… i agree. maybe momager is trying to add depth to their 'reality' shows by cashing in on the publics newfound hatred of kim. first step, put her with another villian- kanye. second step, pit her against the sister who is least hated (kourtney is pregnant and not as believable as someone who would fight with kim, so had to be khloe). what struck me as absurd is how these shows are pitched as reality, yet khloe is announcing they need to have a break… a break from what? i mean, if you're just living your life and the cameras are catching "reality", then you wouldn't need a break. if you were acting for the cameras, then you would need a break. i mean, it's an obvious point, i suppose- but i still felt the need to say it. i try not to comment on these fools, but it's gotten to the point where i don't believe they're ever going to go away so i don't think it matters anymore… sigh…
Posted at 11:32 PM on May 2, 2012
By break she probably meant from her life with Lamar being watched… not from acting. Lamar can't be in a contract like the Khloe & Lamar where he needs to appear in every episode considering he's mention in the title… he can't be worried about cameras following him. Making appearances on KUWTK as opposed to have a certain amount of hours of his life filmed everyday for Khloe & Lamar is much easier to handle with his career.

A little after 9:00 a.m. the crowd, now several hundred strong, began to parade downhill, escorted by very alert soldiers. Rebel leader Guy Philippe looked like a rock star in the back of a pickup truck, pumping his arms in the air to the enthusiastic shouts of supporters. The march was a victory lap for Philippe and his motley pack of insurgents, who are credited with ousting Aristide, and also an expression of pent-up hostility toward the deposed president and his militant and often violent loyalists, pejoratively known as chimères.
During the descent from the rolling hills of Petionville thousands more joined in, like a landslide gathering mass. They were headed to the National Palace, an enormous white-domed building in the heart of Port-au-Prince.
Shortly after 2:00 p.m. the first wave of marchers arrived at the plaza fronting the palace. Some bore banners. Others carried lengths of rope, which they said they would use to subdue chimères. The mood was jubilant, aggressive, and charged with a volatile energy. One group chased a gray-haired man accused of being a chimère. He fled to a nearby police station for protection. Another band tore down a pro-Aristide sign, carried it to the fence surrounding the palace, and set it on fire. As dark smoke billowed, a fire truck approached and tried to make its way to the flames, but people clogged the street, chanting taunts. The silver-helmeted firemen then playfully turned a water hose on the sweaty, dancing throng, and doused any potential malevolence. Demonstrators, firemen, and observers smiled and relaxed as the tension palpably uncurled. In fact many journalists decided the demonstration was over at that point and began to wander off.
Then shots cracked the air. Bursts of automatic gunfire rang out from several directions. I had just left the plaza to follow Philippe into the Plaza Hotel, where he was about to sit down to lunch. At the sound of the first shot, his guards instantly pulled out snub-nosed machine guns, seemingly from nowhere. The hotel closed and locked its doors.
After about five minutes, I urged an attendant to crack the rear gate and let me slip out. Gingerly I headed back to the plaza. Six people would die that day near the palace, including a Spanish-TV journalist. At least twenty more would be wounded, among them a Sun-Sentinel photographer.
Death comes easily in Haiti. Frequently in the form of a bullet. Often anonymously.
On a sidewalk where, moments earlier, the elated multitudes had been celebrating, lay the body of a man shot through the chest. He wore jeans and a blue T-shirt, now soaked in blood. His death-mask face was serene, his killer unknown but assumed to be an Aristide loyalist, a despised chimère.
People squeezed in close and stared down at the corpse, oblivious to the symbolic tombstone that loomed directly above him -- the half-finished Freedom Tower, a monument to Haiti's 200 years of independence, whose construction was halted amid the chaos that had recently engulfed the country. Now it was spattered with blood.
The flight from Miami to Port-au-Prince took two hours. Before Haiti came into view, the turquoise water blended seamlessly with the cloudless sky, an infinity of blue. But the tranquility of that mesmerizing sight was short-lived. At Port-au-Prince airport troops lined the tarmac, dressed in flak jackets and carrying rifles. "Thank God," muttered one passenger. It would be a recurring theme: Arms, depending on who had them, were instruments of either comfort or chaos.
In Haiti guns are a form of currency -- those who have them are better off than those who don't. And today they are everywhere, from the airport to retail stores, from car dealerships to factories, from utility stations to hotels, where it's common to encounter rifle-toting sentries in the lobby.
Private security is a booming business. In fact armed guards have become a kind of status symbol. Down the street from my (secured) Petionville hotel, at the Royal supermarket, a man in uniform lazily held a shotgun as customers passed to buy milk and bottled water. The sense of Haiti as armed camp has intensified with the arrival of foreign officials and soldiers. A contingent of State Department security agents staying at my hotel turned the dining room into a sea of khaki during lunch. Except for one man dressed in black. He was watching over his colleagues as they ate, an automatic rifle at his side.
While some degree of lawlessness is a more or less permanent condition throughout Haiti, a heightened sense of anxiety exists in Port-au-Prince, where the heavily armed chimères represent an unpredictable danger. And as the shootings at the palace demonstration illustrated, Aristide's hasty departure on February 29 did nothing to end the violence. The Americans can help stitch together a makeshift government. A new president and prime minister can be solemnly sworn in. New elections can be promised. But it will mean little in a country where men with guns -- whether anti-Aristide rebels or chimères -- rule Port-au-Prince's sprawling slums by day and control the city by night.

Kitten tossed from car window: It's not just dogs being abused these days (VIDEO)
What did animals do to deserve such abuse? First, there was the story of Matthew Weatherspoon, who allegedly stabbed a bulldog puppy who nipped him -- after which our Shmuck of the Week patrol discovered another twelve recent cases of dog stabbings. And now comes word of a kitten being tossed out a car window in Lafayette. The kitten should be fine, but that doesn't make stories like these any less appalling. Look below to see a Boulder Daily Camera video about the incident.

Tips for Faculty to Increase Student Response Rate
Universities are beginning to collect student course ratings online for several reasons.
The primary challenge in collecting student ratings online is that, without special efforts, response rates are likely to be lower than for in-class evaluations.
When faculty members let students know how important evaluations are and how they use the feedback to improve their teaching and courses, students respond. Here are some ways you can improve the response rates of your students:
In November 2013, faculty who received response rates of 80 percent and above for spring 2013 classes were asked how they encouraged students to fill out the evaluation forms. More than 100 faculty members responded; here is a summary of responses to the question, "How did you do it?"

Quality Measurement Impact Reports
The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services is required to assess the impact of consensus-endorsed quality and efficiency measures used in federal healthcare programs. The Secretary must make this information available to the public in March 2012, and at least once every three years thereafter (as required in Section 3014 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010).
2012 Report
For its March 2012 report, CMS assessed the impact of quality measures within two categories:
- implemented measures with at least two years of performance information between 2006 and 2010; and
- measures under consideration by CMS and made available to the public in December 2011.
The 2012 report entitled, "National Impact Assessment of Medicare Quality Measures," can be accessed via the link in the Downloads section below.
Future Reports
CMS has convened a Technical Expert Panel (TEP) to develop a framework for the assessment of impact of quality measures to guide analyses for future reports

In 1998, the OCC initiated a project to improve Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) examinations at large banks. Among the goals were to gain efficiencies and to ensure consistency in these examinations. The end product is the attached "Large Bank CRA Examiner Guidance."
The guidance clarifies and supplements the FFIEC interagency procedures in the "Community Reinvestment Act Examination Procedures" booklet of the Comptroller's Handbook. Those procedures are referred to throughout this guidance as the large bank CRA examination procedures.
The guidance, which will be used at all banks examined as large banks, implements the OCC's approach to evaluating a large bank's CRA activities over an "examination cycle." This approach recognizes that a large bank CRA examination has distinct phases that must be scheduled at sufficient intervals to ensure that efficiencies are realized. The guidance provides details about each phase of the cycle. In addition, the guidance provides supplemental examination procedures, sample request letters, sample CRA performance evaluation (PE) shells, and a set of standardized tables for presenting data in the PE.
Key concepts are noted throughout the guidance by the words "Key Concept" in the left margin. "Key concepts" are any material changes in standard OCC policies, procedures, or examination approach as applied to large bank CRA examinations.
Questions about CRA or this guidance may be directed to your supervisory office or to Community and Consumer Policy at (202) 649-5470.

Barrow spruced up for Christmas
Last updated at 16:25, Thursday, 15 November 2012
FINAL preparations are being made ahead of this weekend's Christmas lights switch-on.
Workmen were busy yesterday dressing Barrow's tree with festive lights ready for mayor Councillor Wendy Maddox to flick the switch on Saturday at 5.15pm.
From 3.30pm entertainment in the run up to the switch-on will include presenters from The Bay, Steve Hall from Britain's
Got Talent, Michael Buble tribute Denis Horan and JK as Robbie Williams.
Road closures will be in place on Saturday evening and diversions for traffic will be clearly marked.

Have your say
lights? what lights? you mean them pathetic excuse of christmas lights? I like the ones on the town hall itself but the ones the length of Dalton Road look really tacky and dont exactly bring festive cheer!
Why doesnt the council get local companies to sponsor the replacement of new christmas lighting just like they did with the roundablut floral displays- now theres an idea!

GREEN BAY- Tommie Draheim may never play a game in the NFL, but the former San Diego State standout is a better-looking prospect than Nick McDonald, another undrafted free agent who wound up spending the entire 2010 season with the Packers before being waived and ultimately hooking on with New England.
Green Bay signed Draheim immediately following April's draft. Like McDonald, he was given a small signing bonus and told that he was moving inside from the left tackle. And the similarities don't end there. Both players are exactly the same size (6'4, 305) and both competed at positions that lacked proven depth. But based on what I witnessed the past two nights, there are some differences on the field.
Draheim might be the same size as McDonald, but he looks and plays stronger. I remember defensive linemen throwing McDonald around quite a bit. That hasn't happened very often to Draheim – although he did get run over once by nose tackle B.J. Raji during Friday's scrimmage. And while both players are quick, Draheim seems better able to initiate contact on the second level. He also came into the NFL having faced a much higher level of competition. McDonald played collegiately at Grand Valley State.
None of this means Draheim is going to make the 53-man roster. For one thing, Evan Dietrich-Smith wasn't nearly as good a player in 2010 as he is today. For another thing, the Packers kept only eight O-linemen last summer after keeping a whopping 10 two years ago. So the odds are stacked against Draheim, but he's more than a training camp body. He has a chance to play in the NFL, either here or someplace else.

The Great Wars mechanic added in 2.31 only makes it so that any war involving more than one GP on each side (following the activation of the system around the 1870's) will be turned into a Great War. This means an automatic "Cut Down to Size" wargoal is added for every country involved and reduces the chance of them white peaceing out early reduces the cost of any added wargoals by 2/3.
The Great Wars submod is misnamed, really-- it was named that before this mechanic was added into vanilla. What it does currently is make it so that once Mass Politics is invented (so sometime after 1900) countries can enter into a state of "total war" whenever two GP's are at war. When that happens, they will call all allies and also seek out enemies of their opponent to ally with and call into the war. They also get a new Dismantle Empire wargoal, which if enforced will dismantle the opponents territory and split up all colonies among the victors. This wargoal is occasionally handed out as a CB to countries that are very hostile to each other.
That's it, in a nutshell.

Much of the inexpensive jewelry in US malls features polished "agate" stones, which are leaving a trail of death in India.
building factories here and in other locations across the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan, agate traders buy raw stones and supply them to so-called artisans who chip them to size, cut and grind them into shape and polish them to a smooth, shiny glow.
Exporters boast of modern manufacturing methods on their websites, or on business-to-business portals like Alibaba.com. But most, if not all of them, use this ancient system of outsourcing.
This enables them to avoid implementing safety standards that would be required under Indian law if they located their equipment under one roof and hired their workers under contract, according to Jagdish Patel, the occupational safety expert who founded PTRC in 1992.
It's a stretch to call these laborers self-employed. PTRC's survey of nearly 5,000 agate workers found that three-quarters do not own the machines they use. Fewer than one percent buy their raw stones or sell the finished agate. And many take advance payment, or "baki," that effectively leaves them in thrall to an agate trader, even though all forms of bonded labor are illegal in India.
"Self-employment in agate work is a deceit," Sudarshan Iyengar, vice chancellor of Ahmedabad-based Gujarat Vidyapith University wrote in a monograph to the PTRC study.
The result is disastrous.
To make agate grinding and polishing safe, manufacturers need to use a combination of water and suction to knock down the deadly silica dust and prevent workers from breathing it.
Because Khambhat's workers are paid a piece rate that averages about $1 a day, they're unable to buy basic safety gear, such as a dust mask. The margins are so thin that even middlemen who employ five or six workers cannot afford the electricity for water pumps and exhaust systems.
"The relationship between traders and workers is temporary," said Khushman Patel, secretary of an area traders' organization called the Cambay Agate Association. "But we have made some recommendations to the workers about safety."
According to the agate trader, it is hard to find workers today. "Even the poor send their kids to school and you can't find unskilled laborers," he said. As a result, local firms are shifting away from products such as rosary beads that require a lot of grinding — the most dangerous process — to more natural shapes that can be created by chipping and polishing.
Throughout Khambhat, however, workers still grind stones into beads by the hundreds of thousands, by pressing them against a clattering vertical wheel that produces a cloud of silica dust. Sometimes they work without even a bandana over their mouths for protection.
Conducting a house-to-house survey in 2010, PTRC identified nearly 5,000 of these cottage industry workers, including around 1,200 workers drilling holes for stringing beads and 700 grinders — who run the highest risk of contracting silicosis.
When GlobalPost visited some of these grinders, a snowy coat of silica dust covered the machines. We could see and taste the silica in the air. Worse still, the processing was being done amid villages where hundreds of people live, often just outside workers' homes.
In one village, 50 paces from a house where another grinder had recently died, two women were grinding agate for beads without water or an exhaust system to collect the dust. Dressed in cheap cotton saris and rubber flip-flops, all they had for protection were the bandanas covering their noses and mouths. A drum polisher, which tumbles the stones together with abrasive materials, sat idle beside them. The air tasted of ozone, and a milky cloud of silica dust caught the sunlight.
"My whole family is doing this work," one of the women said, desperately. "Do something for us."
Industry apathy
Jagdish Patel, of PTRC, worked for years to force local traders and government bodies like the Gems and Jewelry Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) to acknowledge that the industry was killing workers. (The secretary of the Cambay Agate Association and the PTRC activist are not related; Patel is a common surname here).
A balding chemical engineer whose cherubic face belies the dogged temperament of a trade union activist, Jagdish Patel traveled to Hong Kong, Geneva and Basel, to protest at trade fairs and meet with officials from the International Labor Organization (ILO) and World Health Organization (WHO).
Only after a damning 2010 report on silicosis in the

Airdate: Monday, March 4th, 2013 (USA Network)
Location: The First Niagara Center in Buffalo, New York
Results by Ken Hill
"Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event…"
We are LIVE from the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, New York...
He's baaaaack! The bad-ass spiked trench-coat, the ominous fog and flames...THE UNDERTAKER! He raises his arms...and the Wrestlemania logo appears! Foreshadowing, perhaps?
We're going back...in...time as Raw goes Old School!
Lawler and Cole introduce us, decked out in the classic outfits and the old school announce tables!
Punk's music hits and he and Heyman come out. Punk getting a strong mixed reaction, but doesn't look at all pleased given how last week went down.
Punk hasn't taken his eyes off the WM 29 sign. On the mic now, Punk says he should be main eventing this year, defending his championship, but he's nooootttt! It's not because of what he did or didn't do, but because of the fans. They stole from him, they screwed him out of what was precious to him. In screwing him, the fans only screwed themselves. There's no point now to Punk being at WrestleMania. What Punk and all of us just saw gives him a new purpose at WrestleMania. He points out how we fawn over Taker's 20-0 record, yet snark at his 434-day title reign. He's good, and he backs it up every night. He gives us a new number: 20-1. That "1" is drug-free, alcohol-free, straightedge, The Best In The World. He's going to beat Undertaker...Deal with it!
Randy Orton out now, and he says Punk shouldn't be challenging Taker when he couldn't even beat Orton a couple years back. Punk's never faced Taker on the biggest stage. Orton faced Taker 8 years ago as a rookie, and came within inches. 8 years later, he's no rookie, he's the most dangerous man in the locker room. He asks the fans who should face Taker, and it seems like a relative split...
Now Big Show is out! He says he's faced Taker and lost, but back then, he didn't have the KO Punch, and that's all it will take to punch the 20-0 record into oblivion...
And now Sheamus is out! He's says everyone in the ring has faced and lost to Taker, but Sheamus hasn't. That means he hasn't lost to the Phenom. It'll take more than a punch, a GTS, or a RKO. It'll take a big boot and a little luck of the Irish, which makes achieving the impossible possible!
EXCUSE ME! Vickie Guerrero out now, and says that whoever defeats the Undertaker at WM will cement their legacy as the greatest of all time. She makes a Fatal Four Way match and the winner...will face the Undertaker at WrestleMania! The four men and Heyman eye one another with the announcement made.
Ryback...is...WALKING! He faces Antonio Cesaro...NEXT!
~Commercial Break~
Non-Title Match: US Champion Antonio Cesaro vs. Ryback
Cesaro, in a pre-match interview, tells us in five languages what a neanderthal Ryback is...yeah, that'll cheer up the "Human Wrecking Ball" for sure.
Cesaro assaults Ryback early, but Ryback knocks him down. Cesaro propped up in the corner, Ryback lifts him on his shoulder and spins him into a nice Bulldog powerslam for two. Ryback with a stalling vertical suplex for another near fall. Cesaro with a surprise headbutt and boots to Ryback. Ryback flips Cesaro, who lands on the apron and goes up top. Ryback catches him and military presses him for a two count. Cesaro rolls to the outside and Ryback follows. Cesaro tries to catch Ryback coming in, but misses and gets a kick to the head. Ryback looks to ram Cesaro into the turnbuckle, but Antonio reverses and bashes Ryback into the ring post. Boot by Cesaro sens Ryback into the railing, and Ryback looks a little woozy. Antonio peppers Ryback with some rights and roars to the crowd as we go to break...
~Commercial Break~
Cesaro with Ryback in a neck wrench, but Ryback comes back with clotheslines and a big back body drop. He drills Cesaro with a spinebuster. FEED...HIM...MORE! Meathook...European uppercut by Cesaro! Neutralizer...Ryback stops it and picks him up for the Shell-Shock! It connects! Three count!
MUCH better than getting squashed by Orton last week, as Antonio looked to be on equal physical ground until Ryback countered the Neutralizer for the first time.
WINNER: Ryback
As Ryback heads to the back, Mark Henry's music hits, and the two beasts have a very interesting staredown as Henry heads to the ring to make some "old-school" squash next with Zack Ryder.
Mark Henry vs. Zack...

More feminine than I expected. My 19 month old daughter loved it though!
I got a sample of this, but unfortunately it was a dauber and not spray, which tends to make a big difference in how I experience a fragrance. A spritzer usually allows me to enjoy the top notes longer. In this case, I might have enjoyed the vibrant hay-like narcissus top note longer than three minutes. Now, it just smells like Infusion d'Iris and its sad trombone orange blossom musk on me. For a bottle this expensive and difficult to get a hold of, that kills any kind of lemming I might have had for this.
Well, i don't know exactly how a narcissus flower smell or should smell, but if it's something closer to it i'll fall in love with it. Prada Narciso seems like an essence of a summer afternoon bottled. It's an air dominated by a smell which is sweet as the orange flower but has something spicy, waxy, and slightly animalic. It's very sensual and clean at the same time, a beautiful perfume.

On the computability and complexity of bayesian reasoning AbstractIf we consider the claim made by some cognitive scientists that the mind performs Bayesian reasoning, and if we simultaneously accept the Physical Church-Turing thesis and thus believe that the computational power of the mind is no more than that of a Turing machine, then what limitations are there to the reasoning abilities of the mind? I give an overview of joint work with Nathanael Ackerman (Harvard, Mathematics) and Cameron Freer (MIT, CSAIL) that bears on the computability and complexity of Bayesian reasoning. In particular, we prove that conditional probability is in general not computable in the presence of continuous random variables. However, in light of additional structure in the prior distribution, such as the presence of certain types of noise, or of exchangeability, conditioning is possible. These results cover most of statistical practice. At the workshop on Logic and Computational Complexity, we presented results on the computational complexity of conditioning, embedding sharp-P-complete problems in the task of computing conditional probabilities for diffuse continuous random variables. This work complements older work. For example, under cryptographic assumptions, the computational complexity of producing samples and computing probabilities was separated by Ben-David, Chor, Goldreich and Luby. In recent work, we also make use of cryptographic assumptions to show that different representations of exchangeable sequences may have vastly different complexity. However, when faced with an adversary that is computational bounded, these different representations have the same complexity, highlighting the fact that knowledge representation and approximation play a fundamental role in the possibility and plausibility of Bayesian reasoning.

How Is Your Love Defined?
By Jianny Adamo
Everyone wants love but not everyone finds it. Interestingly enough, when you love or are in love, you know exactly what it is. Love paints our view of the world and bestows purpose and meaning to life. Somehow, when love is absent or lost, amnesia sets in. It's hard to define love; you ask if it's even real. You are either on a journey toward love or on a journey to defy it. 5 Tips To Help You Decide When To Have Sex
Love is fluid, offering different flavors and depths. In the attraction phase, being in love is an emotion producing, strong affection and obsession for another. It's driven by chemistry racing around your brain and body, an experience many poets and artists have written about. It's euphoric and cannot be understood unless you have experienced it yourself.
This experience is a hallmark of new love, marked with preoccupation with your beloved and making the world around you disappear. It transcends time and commands your attention. A three-hour conversation with your beloved can seem like a blink of an eye when smitten with love. Existence quickly moves from okay to "I can climb Mount Everest," simply because of your experience with love. 3 Steps To Strengthen Your Love Connection
But not every relationship experiences such a high, nor does experiencing this bliss determine the longevity of your relationship. Dopamine, the pleasure chemical in your brain, norepinephrine, which produces the racing heart and excitement, and endorphins—the body's natural painkillers—act like magnets bringing lovers together in ecstasy. This chemical reaction produces a dependency on your love object. For some, the need for this natural high has tripped them up to becoming addicted to love, cycling through relationships looking for the next rush. On average, this phase lasts 18 to 36 months and is nature's way of attracting us into venturing into 'real' love.
Consider the attraction phase the prelude. Many relationships naturally phase out here when there isn't enough interest, commonalities or shared values and goals. For those that continue, the next phase is attachment. The attachment phase centers on commitment. You've moved through the fantasy and are ready to embrace real love. It's as if in the attraction phase, all the possibilities of what this love can bring flashes before your eyes—and in the attachment phase you get to build it… together. 4 Steps To Finding Love [VIDEO]
Playing a key role in this stage are oxytocin, vasopressin and endorphins, which are released when having sex and when engaging in things that makes you feel close to your partner. They produce a general sense of well-being, including feeling soothed, peaceful and secure, leading to happy feelings and a deeper attachment. The commitment or attachment needs to be strong, as problems and distractions will arise testing your patience, your love and at times, push you over the edge.

Hi all, name is Jeff and QTH is Ponce, Puerto Rico. I moved here from NY with my wife and daughter so we could help out a pastor in church and ministry at the Iglesia Pentecostal Unida de Ponce (Hechos 2:38!!) I love radio, with the 10-meter band at the top of the list and VHF next in line. I sometimes participate in the PropNET beacon project which logs and instantly displays when and where radio propagation is active on the various bands, using PSK31. It is best described as a "pro-active beacon", because it not only transmits a PSK ID automatically, but it also automatically "hears" and logs other PropNET stations and even regular CQ calls, then sends the data via the internet which is displayed on a visual map. Click here for an example of a map from September 28, 2011 for the 10-meter band. Anyone can "ping" PropNET stations by calling a standard CQ on the PropNET frequency and then loading the PropNET map webpage to see if their station was heard by any PropNET stations. PropNET is extremely efficient and allows 24/7 monitoring of band conditions while the operator is away at work, sleeping, etc. My 10-meter beacon is a modified HyGain CB running at 4 watts on 28.222 MHz into a vertical. Bill WJ5O was a great elmer and gave me all the info I needed to get a 10 meter beacon up and running. Check out his excellent 10 Meter Information website here. There are many nice beacon lists availabe on the internet:ZL2FB has a list here with MP3 recordings, WJ5O has a list here on his website, and DL8WX has a list here. My 6 meter beacon is on the air 24/7, a Motorola Maxar on 50.064 MHz, at 10 watts into an OA-50 horizontal omni antenna. Please email me if you hear the beacons at email@example.com . There is a need for more CW and PropNET PSK beacons worldwide. Beacons are very useful as propagation indicators to specific areas, and also for further study of propagation phenomena. It is easy and inexpensive to set one up. Many CW beacons are old CB's modified for 10 meters and run 2, 3, or 4 watts. If you are interested in setting up a CW beacon, please contact Bill Hays at firstname.lastname@example.com . He is the IARU Region 2 coordinator for HF beacons, and operates his own beacon on 28.289 MHz. If you're interested in setting up a PropNET beacon and/or being a PropNET listener/logger, check out their website for more information. 73!

3 Tech Stocks Rising on Unusual Volume
WINDERMERE, Fla. ( Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.
Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors."
Unusual volume can also be a major signal that hedge funds and momentum traders are piling into a stock ahead of a catalyst. These types of traders like to get in well before a large spike, so it's always a smart move to monitor unusual volume. That said, remember to combine trend and price action with unusual volume. Put them all together to help you decipher the next big trend for any stock.
With that in mind, let's take a look at several stocks rising on unusual volume today. >>5 Under-$10 Stocks Poised to Pop Telephone and Data Systems Telephone and Data Systems (TDS - Get Report) is a diversified telecommunications service company with wireless operations. This stock is trading up 4.9% at $23.48 in recent trading. Today's Volume: 854,000 Average Volume: 600,316 Volume % Change: 101% From a technical perspective, TDS is spiking significantly higher here right above some near-term support at $21.68 with above-average volume. This move has started to push shares of TDS back above both its 50-day at $22.76 and its 200-day at $23.17. Shares of TDS are now quickly moving within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if TDS manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $23.69 to $23.73 and then once it clears more resistance at $24 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in TDs as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $22.76, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 600,316 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then TDS will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance level at $26.99.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Salon's Glenn Greenwald has an update (7/2/09, ad-viewing required) on "several noteworthy developments since I wrote on Tuesday about the refusal of NPR's ombudsman, Alicia Shepard, to be interviewed by me about NPR's ban on using the word 'torture' to describe the Bush administration's interrogation tactics":
Given the utter vapidity of her rationale ("there are two sides to the issue. And I'm not sure, why is it so important to call something torture?"), I was momentarily amazed to learn that she actually teaches "Media Ethics" to graduate students at Georgetown University….
NPR's "torture" ban and its ombudsman's incoherent defense of it has now turned into a significant controversy for NPR–and rightfully so. Yesterday, the Huffington Post trumpeted the controversy in a prominent headline all day long, focusing on Shepard's refusal to be interviewed here. The media reporter Simon Owens wrote a long column on Shepard's refusal to discuss her rationale with me despite my having been a primary critic of NPR's policy. (Indeed, this controversy began several weeks ago when I noted the ample documentation from NPR Check of NPR's steadfast refusal to use the word "torture" and the embarrassing contortions it employs to accomplish that.)
Despite Shepard's avoidance of him, Greenwald notes that she "went on another NPR-affiliated show" for a segment "that included several good questions" and "a very well-compiled, illustrative and cringe-inducing montage of NPR's repeatedly going out of its way to avoid calling Bush interrogation tactics 'torture,' juxtaposed with an excerpt where NPR explicitly accused Iraqis in Sadr City of 'using torture' against detainees."

OETA will broadcast Will Rogers' 1920s film by Peter C. Rollins at 8 p.m. on Aug. 14. Oklahoma's favorite son comments on the political, economic, ecological, and social issues of his day, according to the filmmaker.
Will Rogers' 1920s: A Cowboy's Guide to the Times examines key issues of that turbulent decade. It includes the aftermath of World War I, the rise of motion pictures as a social force; impact of industrialism on American life; the new woman; the beginning of "the American Century," according to Rollins.
All these topics are seen through the eyes of Will Rogers, a social commentator who represented the voice of America's past, judging and critiquing the fads and frenzies of the present.
This film is an outgrowth of "the historian as filmmaker" movement that urged students of culture to make their own films rather than rely upon audiovisualists to produce them. Dr. Rollins, with other other historians, conducted all of the research, purchased all of the footage, and edited materials to a script he wrote.
It is truly an "historian-made film," he said. It has received national and international recognition. The film was sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and paid back to the endowment the funds given for the project, a rare follow-through. It has received numerous awards including a CINE Golden Eagle.
It is a very funny film and both entertaining and enlightening.
Dr. Rollins , who earned his PhD at Harvard, is Oklahoma State University Regents Professor Emeritus. He has been involved with Will Rogers history since 1972 when he worked on the Will Rogers Project at OSU, reprinting the entire writings of Will Rogers.
For information about Will Rogers and the Will Rogers Memorial Museum, visit the website www.willrogers.com.
For full information about the film, see www.petercrollins.com.

Celebrations for William as he reaches major employment milestone
Champagne has been flowing to mark the outstanding achievements of an Essex Cares service user who has worked at the same wine merchants for 20 years.
William Westbrooke, who has Down's Syndrome, has worked at The Wine Company in Colchester for the last two decades, supported in recent years by Essex Cares' Linked Employment service.
Employment Adviser Jonathan Smith explained that the 47-year-old is the only Linked Employment service user to have worked in the same job for such a long time. He added: "William originally started at the company on a work experience programme for 15 hours a week, undertaking tasks like preparing boxes for distribution and replenishing stock on the shop floor.
"He was so successful and demonstrated such a commitment to the company that he was given the chance to become a paid Warehouse Assistant. This was a huge boost to his confidence and even came with extra responsibilities such as bagging ice, clearing the yard and ensuring cleanliness in the warehouse.
"His job helps him feel an equal part of society and reaching his 20 year anniversary is a huge achievement for him."
James Bond aficionado and postcard collector William said he enjoys his job so much that he is likely to be a fixture at the warehouse for the next 20 years. "I like it here because I get out and about and work with lots of people," he said. "I know a lot about wine now – my favourite is red wine from Italy or Spain. Luckily I've only broken one bottle in 20 years!"
Linked Employment is a service which places adults with disabilities into jobs, assisting them to get a role of their choice which is paid at the going rate. Employment opportunities are available within all business sectors, including part time and full time roles. Meanwhile, parent company Essex Cares also helps over 100,000 people in the county to live independent lives, providing innovative services and the latest technologies to its customers.
General Manager of The Wine Company Mark Cronshaw said that William is a vital part of life at the Gosbecks Road firm. "I'm so proud of him," he said. "He is a very valuable employee – he's full of enthusiasm and is as diligent, hardworking and honest as any member of my team. He is a character who we all love having around."

ATS Comments on Medicare Coverage Proposal for Tobacco Cessation Counseling
This week the ATS, joined by the American Association for Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) and the National Association for the Medical Direction of Respiratory Care (NAMDRC), submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) supporting the draft decision to cover tobacco cessation counseling services for Medicare beneficiaries.
The proposed Medicare coverage policy extends to all Medicare beneficiaries with a disease or an adverse health effect that has been found by the U.S. Surgeon General to be linked to tobacco use, or who is taking a therapeutic agent whose metabolism or dosing is affected by tobacco use as based on FDA-approved information. The counseling may only be provided by individuals trained in tobacco use cessation counseling.
Medicare is proposing to cover two cessation attempts per year. Each attempt may include a maximum of four intermediate or intensive sessions, with the total annual benefit covering up to 8 sessions in a 12 month period. The practitioner and patient have flexibility to choose between intermediate or intensive cessation strategies for each attempt.
While the proposed policy falls short of creating a uniform smoking cessation benefit for all Medicare beneficiaries – only Congress has the authority to create such a broad new benefit – the CMS does extend smoking cessation counseling to significant number of Medicare beneficaires.
In addition to supporting the CMS decision to provide coverage of tobacco cessation counseling services to Medicare beneficiaries, the ATS comments recommended that the cost of expanding tobacco counseling services be included in the Medicare sustainable growth rate formula – essentially asking Medicare to provide new money to cover the service. The ATS also noted that the counseling service should be closely linked with coverage of prescription drugs used to assist tobacco cessation efforts under the new Medicare drug benefit starting January 2006.
Pulmonary Community Petitions for Permanent Seat on the AMA RUC
The American Thoracic Society and the American College of Chest Physicians sent a letter to the AMA Resource Based Relative Value Up date Committee (AMA RUC) seeking a permanent seat on the committee. The AMA RUC plays an important function by recommending the relative work value for CPT codes to Medicare, which drives the Medicare – and many private insurers - reimbursement CPT codes. The Medicare program accepts over 90% of the recommendations made by the AMA RUC.
The AMA RUC is made of 20 permanent seats held by selected specialties and three rotating seat for specialties that do not hold permanent seat. The pulmonary community is eligible to hold one of the three rotating seats.
The criteria for a permanent seat on the AMA RUC are:
- The specialty is an American Board of Medical Specialties recognized specialty.
- The specialty comprises 1% of physicians in practice.
- The specialty comprises 1% of physician Medicare expenditures.
- Medicare revenue is at least 10% of mean practice revenue for the specialty.
- The specialty is not meaningfully represented by an umbrella organization, as determined by the RUC.
The pulmonary community clearly meets criteria 1-4, and in the opinion of the ATS and ACCP leadership, meets criteria 5. The American College of Physicians has sent a letter in support of the pulmonary community request for a permanent seat, strengthening the case for meeting the fifth criteria.
The gastroenterology and oncology/hematology community have submitted similar petitions. The petitions will be discussed at the February meeting of the AMA RUC.
NIH Delays Release of Open Access Policy
In a surprise move, the National Institutes of Health cancelled last week's release of the revised "Open Access� publication policy for research articles supported with NIH funds. Several observers speculated that the cancelled release was intended to prevent the controversial policy from becoming an issue at the confirmation hearing of President Bush's nominee for the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Mike Leavitt. He currently is the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
As reported earlier in the ATS Washington Letter, the NIH issued draft policy requiring NIH-funded researchers to submit their manuscripts to the NIH after they have been accepted for publication and edited by the accepting journal. Six months after an NIH-supported research study's publication - or sooner if the publisher agrees- the manuscript would be available to the public, at no charge, on the NIH's Web-based database, PubMed Central.
Several sources have reported that NIH has revised its policy to require public access to NIH-funded articles 12 months after publication – as opposed to the 6 months initially proposed.
COPD Raised in HHS Secretary Confirmation Hearing
In his lead question at the Senate Finance confirmation hearing, Sen. Mike Crapo (R-ID) asked Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) nominee Mike Leavitt about the importance of COPD under Medicare and what plans Leavitt had to deal with increasing prevalence of COPD. The HHS nominee agreed about the importance of addressing COPD and committed himself to working with Senator Crapo and Congress to address issues facing the COPD community.

Our office has supported the expansion of its services to the University community, since 2001, by utilizing a cost-recovery business model. This model requires us to charge for most services. Based on University guidelines, we will only charge what it actually costs to produce your project. When fees apply, our goal is to be as clear as possible, up front, about expected costs and deliverables. We offer options to fit a variety of budgets. Our fees are well below market rates to make our services more broadly accessible. The quality of our work product is often greater than competitors. Most fee-based projects, such as planning, design and editing, fall under the rate schedule below:
- Hourly rate: $60
- Rush fee hourly rate: $120
- Minimum charge: $30 (half hour)
- Time is charged in half-hour increments
We do apply rush fees for last-minute and quick-turn-around projects. We also have limited discretionary funding to add value to projects when they are approved for such by the assistant vice president for communications.
Cancelled projects will be billed based on the amount of work completed and any fees imposed by external vendors, if applicable.
To stay within budget, it is important for you to plan well and meet agreed-upon milestones.
Again, the best way to determine how much your project is likely to cost is to fill out our Getting Started form. The appropriate staff then can review your request and give you a well-informed estimate. Please do not assume your project has started if you have not received and approved an estimated budget. Also, please note that the final bill may differ from estimates based upon changes during the work process.
For assignments that fit within our University photographers' schedules we bill our service at the following rates:
- Hourly rate: $60
- Minimum charge: $60 (1 hour)
- After the first hour, time is charged in half-hour increments
When assignments are passed on to freelance photographers, fees will be billed at their rates (to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis). You will be informed of these fees up front and expected to approve them before work begins. All projects are charged directly to departmental accounts (no interdepartmental invoices).
Our photo archive features a variety of images from all around the campus, as well as group and individual photographs. Photo searches are charged at our standard rate of $60 per hour. Photographs from our archive may be reused for a small fee, as follows:
- Use on the interior of a publication: $20 per image
- Use on a poster or the cover of a publication: $25 per image
- Use on a website: $20 per image
- Burn selected images to a DVD: $25 per DVD
In addition, we have access to stock photography websites. Our hourly rate for searching (see above) applies for this service, plus we may pass on the fees of the external website. Additional fees may apply for rush orders, last-minute cancellations, consultations, digital reproductions and printing and framing.
Fill out our Getting Started form to submit a project request.

Re: So What Are you Reading?: Generations
Recently bought and enjoyed the Early Voyages omnibus (great characters and stories, but I suppose with TrekLit Pike era novels) and Star Trek Ongoing Vol. 4. I wonder whether the plot of "Mirrored" happened to echo In A Mirror, Darkly, or was a deliberate homage? As part of my studies (exam preparation), I started reading Simon James's non-fiction Exploring the World of the Celts because it is illustrated. Soon I'll have holidays and can finally read (or finish to read): VOY: The Final Fury DS9: Warpath; The Left Hand of Destiny Bk. 2 NF: Dark Allies TNG: Dark Mirror Concerning the Keru-issue in Taking Wing: As a young LGBT person myself I was delighted how it was integrated into the story without becoming cringeworthy (e.g. "Hello, I'm Lieutenant Commander Ranul Keru, and I'm gay."). I enjoy romantic (and other!) sub-plots a lot because I want to see the characters coping with their normal lives as well and not just during world-shattering crises. Take Picard's family life, for example - we explore it in and out of the action/suspense of the month.

Re: So What Are you Reading?: Generations
For what it's worth, I know from experience that sometimes it's easy to fall into an offensive frame of mind without realizing it. Yesterday on Facebook, I shared a quote from Bob Marley that said something to the effect of, "If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing." I was being sentimental and didn't give much thought to the second sentence -- and I totally got called out for it by a friend. "Way to demean sexually liberated women." I thought about it, and I realized -- she was absolutely right. In the midst of being sentimental about the idea that an amazing person's heart is difficult to win, I went along with the idea that "too much" sexual activity is automatically a sign that something's wrong with a woman in some way. And I didn't even give the idea more than a second's thought. I fell into a misogynistic mental trap and I demeaned women's sexual agency. When I realized this, I apologized to her and deleted the image. Which, by and by, is just my way of saying: It's easy to fall into the traps that privilege (be it male privilege or heterosexual privilege) lay for us as part of the system. Remember, these are mental systems of control, and they're trying to control those who benefit as much as those who are oppressed. And we need to be called out on it when we fall into those mental traps, into those mindframes. It's the only way we can grow and evolve. You needed it yesterday -- and I did, too -- but it doesn't have to define us today.

Re: So What Are you Reading?: Generations
I'm now reading Mass Effect: Deception. I've read that it's not very good and there are a lot of mistakes (continuity, lore, etc). I also read that it was going to be rewritten, but I haven't seen anything new about that in about a year, so I figured I'll just go ahead and read it to make up my own mind. I'm a few chapters in and so far the errors are things that I didn't even notice until I looked them up online. It's been a while since read any Mass Effect novels/comics or played the games, so I've forgotten a lot of things. Even though I love the ME universe, I guess I'm just not as aware of the continuity and minutiae as I am with Star Trek.

The other is called Escape Velocity: A Charles Portis Miscellany. In fact I also have a couple of his novels on hold from the library. Charles Portis is someone I hear touted as "the greatest novelist you've never heard of". One of his books, True Grit, has achieved a kind of subsidiary fame from having two movies made out of it. I'm looking forward to checking out his oeuvre.

Also, while I was planning to read as much as the series as I could, I just found out the public library lost Orion's Hounds, so I'm going to take that as fate telling me to leave the Titan star trek books alone and find something else to read. After finishing The Red King, I'll be reading star Trek: The weight of Worlds (which the library has, and should be avaliable soon) and then maybe do a reread of the Dune series, starting at Dune and reading all of the Frank Herbert stuff, then the conclusion of the main series written by his son, then some of the other books like the Dune prequels (about Paul's family before Dune). |

The site's basic configuration was that of a half bowl with some comparatively flat land at the ridge and in the valley. A railway line ran along the highest contour. While visualizing a building that responds to the site character, it become more & more obvious that the main building should hug the bowl slopes and spread along it. The designing called for a thorough study of contours so that the cutting and filling is minimized as far as possible and the space and planning advantages are maximized.

The naturally convergent central area caters to primary common activities like Administration with a 1, 000 capacity Auditorium below it and the library above it. This area naturally formed the two main entrances to the building. The one on the east with large landscaped mound, rocks and two water bodies has the entrance at the administration level whereas the west side ceremonial entrance starts at the auditorium stage level 7 metres below the east entrance. Both the entrances meet in a large spacious lounge with a double height and with fiberglass skylight domes. This lounge has built in seating around a central landscaping feature. The stepped auditorium with the high stage sits along the contours.

On both sides of this central wing are the secondary common functions like the classrooms and the drawing halls.
Beyond these are various departmental labs, offices etc. viz. civil, electrical, electronics, computer and mechanical (the major mechanical dept. is in the workshops).
The staff rooms are interspersed at different places throughout the building for better control and for proximity to their respective departments. Similarly passages widen, notice boards, built in seats are provided or courtyards appear to act as student interaction spaces.
