Bomb squads, vacuum cleaners and doctors -- what do they all have in common? The answer is iRobot (NASDAQ: IRBT ) , an incredibly versatile company that has created bomb-sweeping robots, Roomba automated vacuum cleaners, and virtual doctors powered by Apple iPads. iRobot's new product -- the 5-foot-tall RP-VITA, a remote presence robot doctor -- is a creation that uses the technology of its predecessors for healing, rather than detecting explosives or cleaning floors. Does the RP-Vita represent a unique turning point in the world of health care, or is it an overpriced, superfluous product that most hospitals won't be able to afford?
How RP-VITA works
RP-VITA is an acronym for Remote Presence Virtual and Independent Telemedicine Assistant. The robot is now available at six hospitals in the United States and one in Mexico City. RP-VITA is controlled by an iPad, and operates like a mobile webcam to allow a remote doctor to remotely interact with patients, doctors and nurses. Using Roomba technology, the RP-Vita can use a map to navigate hospitals autonomously and locate patients automatically. RP-Vita is equipped with an on-board stethoscope as well. The robot and its technical support cost $5,000 a month.
If successful, RP-VITA could be used for a myriad of operations. The robots could be deployed to remote locations where medical facilities are too far away. They could also be used in quarantined environments deemed unsafe for human doctors to enter.
Even though RP-VITA isn't generating any meaningful revenue for iRobot yet, it is an interesting diversification away from its core business of Roomba products. Last quarter, iRobot disappointed Wall Street with a 19% year-on-year drop in adjusted earnings to $0.21 per share, although revenue rose 17% to $130 million on the back of strong sales of its home robots (Roomba, Scooba, Mirra, Looj) business. Shares have steadily trended downward over the past month as a result.
However, I wouldn't underestimate iRobot's ability to bounce back. After all, this is the same company that effortlessly altered its bomb-sweeping technology to clean floors, carpets, pools, and gutters after a major decline in revenue from its defense contracts between 2012 and 2013.
Dr. Kinect will see you now
Speaking of remote doctors, another product gaining traction is Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT ) Kinect. Although the motion-sensing device was initially developed as a gaming device to compete against Nintendo's Wii, its 3-D motion capture technology has found applications in health care. Unlike the Wii, which merely detects the movement of the controller, the Kinect's webcam technology can accurately mirror a subject's bodily movements.
To tap into the potential of Kinect, Microsoft turned to its joint venture, Avanade, which was formed in 2000 with tech and outsourcing company Accenture (NYSE: ACN ) . Avanade showed health care providers that the movement tracking technology of the Kinect could be used in tandem with Microsoft's HealthVault EHR program to provide customized remote physical exams.
For example, a remote doctor can use a webcam to instruct a patient to perform physical actions, which are tracked via Kinect. The Kinect can even use a pre-programmed preliminary exam based on EHR information without a doctor present, shortening the amount of time the actual doctor would need to spend with each patient and increasing the overall efficiency of a practice.
Just like iRobot's project, Avanade's system, known as Virtual Healthcare, is still in its infancy. Nonetheless, a study by the International Journal of Electronic Finance claims that the system could save up to $30 billion in U.S. health care costs.
A Foolish final thought
The idea of virtual doctors is one worth following, especially as the global population increases. Not everyone will live close enough to a health care facility, and remotely deployed virtual health care systems connected to cloud-based EHRs could improve health care for millions and save billions in health care costs.

Bandersnatcher | |
Alice And The Wonderland character | |
Peter Newell's illustration of the Jubjub bird and the Bandersnatch
First appearance | Through the Looking Glass |
Created by | Lewis Carroll |
A Bandersnatch is a fictional creature from Lewis Carroll's 1872 novel Through the Looking-Glass and 1874 poem "The Hunting of the Snark". Although neither work describes the appearance of a Bandersnatch in great detail, in "The Hunting of the Snark" it has a long neck and snapping jaws, and both works describe it as ferocious and extraordinarily fast. Through the Looking-Glass implies that Bandersnatches may be found in the world behind the looking-glass,[1] and in "The Hunting of the Snark", a Bandersnatch is found by a party of adventurers after crossing an ocean.[2] Bandersnatches have appeared in various adaptations of Carroll's works; they have also been used in other authors' works and in other forms of media.
Carroll's first mention of a Bandersnatch, in the poem "Jabberwocky" (which appears in Through the Looking-Glass), is very brief: the narrator of the poem admonishes his son to "shun / The frumious Bandersnatch"—this particular portmanteau being a concise way of describing the creature's fuming and furious nature.[3] Later in the novel, the White King says of his wife (the White Queen), "She runs so fearfully quick. You might as well try to catch a Bandersnatch!"[1]
In "The Hunting of the Snark", while the party searches for the Snark, the Banker runs ahead and encounters a Bandersnatch:
And the Banker, inspired with a courage so new
It was matter for general remark,
Rushed madly ahead and was lost to their view
In his zeal to discover the Snark.
But while he was seeking with thimbles and care,
A Bandersnatch swiftly drew nigh
And grabbed at the Banker, who shrieked in despair,
For he knew it was useless to fly.
He offered large discount—he offered a check
(Drawn "to bearer") for seven-pounds-ten:
But the Bandersnatch merely extended its neck
And grabbed at the Banker again.
Without rest or pause—while those frumious jaws
Went savagely snapping around—
He skipped and he hopped, and he floundered and flopped,
Till fainting he fell to the ground.
The Bandersnatch fled as the others appeared
Led on by that fear-stricken yell:
And the Bellman remarked "It is just as I feared!"
And solemnly tolled on his bell.[2]
In other media[edit]
Anna Matlack Richards's A New Alice in the Old Wonderland (1895) contains a broader description given of the Bandersnatch within the poem Bandersnatchy.[4] In this poem, another hero sets out to slay the frumious Bandersnatch so as to gain respect from his people against the hero who slew the Jabberwock (a story he would sit and tell till after ten o'clock).[4] The author writes that it is necessary to be armed with a vorpal sword or a winxy pistol, because one never can tell what a Bandersnatch might do. According to the hero, the Bandersnatch is a queer thing that whizzles overhead causing him to believe it is up a tree, only to his surprise its legs are awfully high. It pleads with the hero not to shoot, only to fool him and fly away. The hero grabs its tail and cuts it off as his trophy. The hero describes the creature as being extremely long legged with a long tail as well and the ability to fly very quickly. It could be understood that the Bandersnatch perhaps camouflages itself as a tree, given the explanation understood by the hero's description. There is an illustration by the author's daughter, Anna Richards Brewster, of the hero's encounter with the Bandersnatch.[4]
In Larry Niven's "Known Space" mythos (1965 to present), there is a heavy-gravity species somewhat resembling a giant slug which, upon their discovery, were immediately given the genus and species "Frumious bandersnatch".
In a letter from 1959, C. S. Lewis wrote, "No one ever influenced Tolkien—you might as well try to influence a bandersnatch."[5]
In the book Sign of Chaos (1987), part of Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber, the protagonist encounters a Bandersnatch. The creature is described as segmented, with a side-to-side gait, leaving a trail of steaming saliva, and hissing like a leaky pressure cooker.[6] The Bandersnatch suffered a heart-attack after having a cardiac arrest spell cast on it, implying that its general anatomy is analogous to normal animals. The episode takes place in a reality created by the mind of one of the characters under the influence of a hallucinogenic drug.
"Bandersnatch" is a name used many times in the Final Fantasy video game series (1987 to present). The name is given to various enemies in many installments of the game in both the Japanese and English-language versions. In most of the games, it is a common enemy that does not create much difficulty for the player, and it usually has qualities of wolves or lions in appearance. In Final Fantasy IX, however, the Bandersnatch is a slightly stronger enemy with a strange appearance that seems to be a large, demonic poodle with an expansive toothy grin. It is summoned by the antagonists during an important story scene in the game.
In the massive multiple online role playing games "Mabinogi" (2004) and "LaTale" (2006), the Bandersnatch makes an appearance. In Mabinogi, a Bandersnatch is an ice monster located in "Par Dungeon". A normal Bandersnatch can only be killed with one of the fire spells, or a giant's stomp ability, due to their high defense. The Giant Bandersnatch can be killed as a normal monster, and is the boss of the dungeon. Both normal and giant Bandersnatch move slowly and will not normally attack unless first hit is activated. In Latale, the Bandersnatch is a dog like creature with strange markings and a massive jaw. It's an auto-aggressive monster that either lunges at the player or headbutts when its close to the player. It can be found in the first two rooms of the Treasure Vault Instance or King's Room.
In Pandora Hearts (2006), Lily's chain is a large black dog named Bandersnatch.
Seattle rock band Forgive Durden released a single entitled "Beware the Jubjub Bird and Shun the frumious Bandersnatch!" (2006) from the album Wonderland.[7]
In the 2006 novel Ghosts of Onyx by Eric Nylund, the codename 'Bandersnatch' is used to warn UNSC troops for a radiological- or energy-based disaster.[8] It was previously used on occasions where Covenant troops had 'glassed' former human colonies.
In the 2010 film Alice in Wonderland, the Bandersnatch appears as a large, white beast somewhat resembling a mix of bulldog and wombat with long hair, dark gray spots, a long tail, and multiple rows of sharp teeth. It is a creature under the control of the Red Queen until Alice returns its eye (which it had lost to the Dormouse). It helps the girl escape and joins the White Queen's forces. In the video game adaptation of the film, it serves a similar role.
In the 2010 graphic novel Calamity Jack, sequel to Rapunzel's Revenge (published in 2006), the giant Blunderboar has a pet Bandersnatch named Lewis, presumably after Lewis Carroll. This Bandersnatch appears as a giant toadlike being with a massive mouth, two small mouths in place of eyes, a long froglike tongue, and the ability to spit acid.[9]
In the Young Justice episode "Earthling", Adam Strange improvises a performance of the second verse of Jabberwocky in order to distract a patrol while on the planet Rann. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He soon scurries away saying "No time to say hello, goodbye! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!" "...and down the rabbit hole I go!!!" Strange's mission accomplices include a pet from his alien hosts' household with an appearance not unlike some illustrations of a Jubjub bird.
The Bandersnatch appears in the Once Upon a Time in Wonderland episode "Forget-Me-Knot." This version is a monstrous wild boar. In the past, Alice had faced the Bandersnatch before. In the present, Jafar and the Red Queen send the female Bandersnatch after Alice and the Knave of Hearts in order to get Alice to use up one of her wishes from Cyrus. Jafar gives the Bandersnatch the magic message response that Alice made for Cyrus so that it can pick up her scent. The Bandersnatch tracks Alice to the Grendel's house and attacks where it knocks out the Grendel. As Alice restrains the Bandersnatch, the Knave the Hearts stabs it. The Red Queen states to Jafar that the Bandersnatch mates for life and that the male Bandersnatch in their possession is now dead.
In the visual novel Sekien no Inganock - What a Beautiful People, Bandersnatch appears as a fantastic Creature that manifests itself inside the "engine space" within the City's computer network and preys upon hackers who access the virtual reality.
Bandersnatches are the subject of a difficult algorithm design project for an apparently NP-complete problem in the academic theoretical computer science book by M. R. Garey and D. S. Johnson, "Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness."[10] Maybe the aforementioned reference of bandersnatches appearing in the visual novel Sekien no Inganock have to do with this reference.
In Ursula Vernon's web comic, Digger, a bandersnatch appears as a two-headed, sentient, exiled draft animal.[11]
Bandersnatches are a powerful type of enemy in Kingdom Rush: Origins, appearing as a large, blue and purple monster with a spiny back and the ability to roll into a ball and move extraordinarily fast.
In the adult animated movie Mardock Scramble: The First Compression (2010) a dockside warehouse owned by the livestock export company "Bander Snatch" is used as a clandestine meeting location (visible at 45:34).
In the online comic, Skin Deep, the Bandersnatch is shown to be a harmless creature.[12]

Passengers are required to fill in the Passenger Ticket Purchase List. Ill passengers must have medical certifications approving of travel by flight written by medical units authorized by China Eastern.

Alteration of tickets will result in their invalidation; no return of ticket fees shall be made.. Tickets are valid for one year starting from the date of travel of the passenger. If not used, tickets are valid for one year starting from the date the ticket is written. The validity of discount tickets is calculated according to the validity period of the discount involved. Tickets should be used in the stated order from the point of destination written on the tickets.
Passengers can purchase E-tickets from the China Eastern website. Passengers are required to provide effective traveling certificates that may be used during procedures at the airport when purchasing electronic tickets. The Air Transportation Electronic Ticket Travel List can only be used as a reimbursement voucher for passengers for purchasing electronic tickets, and not as a certification to be used during boarding and procedures at the airport.
Child ticket, infant ticket
Children between two and twelve years old are required to buy child tickets. Infants who are younger than two years old are required to buy infant tickets but can not occupy seats alone. When it is necessary for infants to occupy seats alone, child tickets must be purchased. Please consult booking staff for the specific fare. Every adult can only carry two passengers (including children and infants) under twelve years old. A child ticket is required for any infants exceeding this quota.
Ticket lost
Passengers who have lost their China Eastern ticket must bring a valid ID card and the copy or the fax of the lost ticket to a ticketing office of China Eastern for handling the lost ticket procedure which can be made within the valid period of the lost ticket. After verification, China Eastern will offer a new ticket within one workday before the departure of the flight for the ticket according to supplementation conditions and supplementation fee will be charged. The supplemented ticket cannot be refunded, changed or transferred.
Passengers can also handle the refunding procedure according to the refunding applicable conditions after 90 days since expiration of the lost tickets (150 days since the expiration if outward voyage route is included). China Eastern may charge a corresponding refund fee.
China Eastern undertakes no responsibility if the lost ticket is falsely used or refunded by others.
Passengers can propose a refunding application if part or whole travel route is not finished within the valid period. If NON-REF or NON-REFUND is marked on the ticket, the ticket can not be refunded. Passengers should bring personal traveling credentials and tickets (if valid) to the original booking place for handling the refunding procedure. If passengers wish to refund voluntarily, China Eastern charges the refunding fee according to the price of the tickets and the applicable conditions. If the journey is terminated at a flight exchange point due to the will of the passenger, the fee of the ticket for the unused route should not be refunded. If passengers can not travel on the original flight or the original class because of China Eastern, passengers can choose to refund free of charge. If passengers ask for refunds after the handling of the boarding procedure because of being refused boarding due to the disconnection of credentials or the violation of relevant regulations of the government or carrier, etc., China Eastern may charge a refund fee according to regulations of voluntary refunding.
According to the common practice of the international air transportation industry, China Eastern may overbook some flights. Under individual overbooking conditions, individual passenger may not be able to travel on the original flight. For those passengers, China Eastern may arrange the earliest available flight for passengers and carry different compliment measures according to the specific routes and the delayed time of the passengers.
According to the applicable conditions of tickets, China Eastern can attend to flight transferring formalities for passengers of our company and passengers holding China Eastern tickets. However, the ticket transfer can only be carried out with other air companies that have signed clearing agreements with China Eastern. China Eastern tickets held by passengers or non-China Eastern tickets containing China Eastern route can not be transferred if the original carrier for the route is required to be changed due to personal reasons or if NON-END or NON-ENDORSABLE is marked on the tickets. Otherwise, the transferring procedure is allowed based on confirmation from China Eastern. If passengers cannot travel on their original flight due to China Eastern, China Eastern should handle the transferring procedure according to the usage conditions of the seats of other carriers when the passengers choose to be transferred to another carrier.
In order to ensure the schedule of the flight, internal flights of China Eastern may start boarding procedures two hours before departure and cease procedures 45 minutes before departure.

Tracy was fastest at 120.957 miles per hour, covering the 2.25-mile course in 1 minute 7.204 seconds. He scored a valuable point in the championship and has secured at least a front row position in the starting grid.
"We had an off weekend at Elkhart Lake, losing the top spot in the standings, so we had to rebound today," Tracy said. "I know there is a lot of traffic out there but we have to deal with it and get it done."
Tracy also will be looking to record his fifth pole of the season in Saturday's second round qualifying.
Alex Tagliani was second at 120.468 mph and Patrick Carpentier third with a speed of 120.284.

Such a great song! Such a bad video. The 80s! This song. I've been reading the Bible. I've always wanted to actually read the whole thing, so I've been doing it, and sometimes it's really boring, but lately it has been fascinating! The Old Testament God is an arbitrary and capricious homicidal maniac. It really makes me wonder if any of the people who worship this God have actually read this book?
I wish people on the Internet would stop being so wrong about everything. I just want everyone to know that I have been boycotting Chik Fil A for years. I was doing it way before it was cool, and people used to laugh at me and finish their chicken biscuits when I told them they were supporting Christian fundamentalist terrorists. Who's laughing now, biscuit-eaters?

Reclaiming the First Amendment through Union Dues Restrictions?Harry G. HutchisonGeorge Mason University - School of Law September 2007 University of Pennsylvania Journal of Business and Employment Law, Vol. 10, No. 3, pp. 663-716, Spring 2008 George Mason Law & Economics Research Paper No. 07-31 Abstract: In its recent Davenport v. Washington Education Association decision, the United States Supreme Court unanimously enforced a Washington State paycheck protection initiative that placed restrictions on the extraction of labor union dues for political purposes. This decision appears to substantiate the free speech interest of union dissenters. This case also provides an additional example of the ongoing conflict between individual and group interest and between individual and group preferences that have erupted in a society that appears to be falling apart. In such a society the myth of the "universal worker" is collapsing in the face of escalating incredulity, and an increasing focus on autonomy. Although human autonomy may find some protection in the First Amendment, I argue that the Supreme Court's holding in this case cannot fully vindicate individual liberty despite the claims and counter-claims of a number of observers. Correctly understood, this decision promises little and delivers less because it fails to deal decisively and comprehensively with issues that both earlier private sector and public sector union dues disputes illuminated but failed to settle. Tied to earlier precedent, the Davenport case falls short of recapturing fully the First Amendment values of expression and association. This article represents an extension of my prior work that has considered the union dues controversy. I provide arguments, recommendations and some speculations that are aimed at reclaiming human autonomy, individual liberty and a principled understanding of First Amendment ideals. However, ultimately, I suggest the implausibility of recapturing a principled understanding of the First Amendment in a society torn apart by simmering disagreement. While the Supreme Court rightly enforced Washington State's dues restrictions, it is unlikely that paycheck protection legislation or referenda can rescue First Amendment rights and values from adjudication that transforms principle into a wobbly platform.

Patriots-terrorism & Saints-katrina
Now look guys I wasn't going to bring this up at all.........
I know we all still remember the World Trade Center going to the ground in 2001, yes so that year all of a sudden it started the "New England Patriots Dynasty". But that year I was thinking is this a conspiracy of some sort then I just shrugged it to the side you know thinking nothing big of it. The year before that the Pats sucked and every year before that one. But after last night with the Saints winning after a massive hurricane ripped through their town and completely tore eveything up, they are winning. The Saints have always been an awful team except for this year which to me is kind of weird. Now that being said, I have to ask I ain't the only one thinking like this right?! With the Pats starting to win it after WTC and then the Saints after Katrina is just getting to me, you know what I'm sayin?! |

Re: Patriots-terrorism & Saints-katrina
The Saints were actually supposed to be pretty good last year before Katrina hit. The 3-13 record was kind of like when the Spurs had a bad season and got Tim Duncan.
There is no conspiracy to have the Saints win the Super Bowl just like there is no conspiracy for the Texans to pass on Reggie Bush so that the Saints could take him. If that was the case, Casserly would have been given the job that he wanted in the league office instead of working with CBS. |

Re: Patriots-terrorism & Saints-katrina
To me it is more like...they got a healthy Duece back, signed Brees and got a good young coach. Yes, Bush has helped, but not as much as I would have thought at the beginning of the year. That is what I see. Not a conspiracy.

Re: Patriots-terrorism & Saints-katrina
And if anything, the parallel would have been the Saints doing well last year. The Patriots won the Super Bowl just months after 9/11, not a year and half later.

Re: Patriots-terrorism & Saints-katrina
I agree with that. I'll pass.
I don't think it had anything to do with those teams getting to the playoffs and getting that far but i do believe it can effect the out come of the championship games. NFL is all about drama too. One thing that I've started thinking since last season is that any curse/losing spirits that The Sainst had was wiped away by the Katrina Hurricane, and it came along to Houston with those that made the move over to Houston. Noticed how they stayed in the Astrodome, only yards away from Reliant? |

Re: Patriots-terrorism & Saints-katrina
Well let's see, what did the Saints do?
1. Drafted an all-pro left tackle with the 13th pick in the 2005 draft. I'm trying to remember who traded the pick to them - oh yeah, it was the Texans 2. Drafted an immediate impact playmaker to add more dimensions to their offense 3. Signed a great, first rate quarterback and voila, they are in the NFC Championship game

Re: Patriots-terrorism & Saints-katrina
I won't say there is a conspiracy or anything, but sometimes I do think money is changing hands under the table when it comes to NFL games. There are people in the shadows with big bucks that can make teams win or lose. Not sure if it is mafia (or whatever they call themselves nowadays) based or not, but money still talks.
They ripped on these type people a little bit in "Payback" when Kris Kristofferson's character is speaking to his son about the boxing match. Kris says that his money is on one of the boxers. His son says that the other boxer is highly favored. Kris just grins and says: "Son, that has nothing to do with it."
I am a true Texans fan that will never wear a vy Tennessee Traitors jersey. |

This just in: the Patriots and Saints are good teams.
It's a striking coincidence, but that's all it is, IMO.

Note on finding copies of programs: |
Unfortunately I lack the time or resources to help people find copies of anime television programs. I have put together a web List of Online Video and Book Stores that will be useful to find copies in the United States, some other countries, and one Japanese store. There are other similar stores on the Internet around the world that might be able to supply the DVDs, LDs, VCDs, or video tapes that are desired. Check my Japanese Animation Information page for links to Internet resources that may have further information. I am not involved in trading materials from my own collection. I am still waiting to see most of the programs in this List of Anime Television Series and would be happy to find sources for many of them. Because of these circumstances I will not respond to requests for help to find these types of materials. |

How to "Skinny Cook" Your Food
by Nicci Micco
Lean chicken, shrimp—healthy, right? Maybe not. Even modest portions of perfectly nutritious foods can pack more calories and fat than you're bargaining for when they're prepped using certain cooking techniques. Here's how to "skinny cook" five common foods.
SEE MOREBroccoli (1/2 cup)
"Fattest cooking"
Raw, 2 tbsp. ranch dressing
Calories: 160, Fat: 16g"In-between cooking"
Sautéed, 1tsp. olive oil
Calories: 67, Fat: 5g -
Broccoli (1/2 cup)
"Skinniest cooking"
Calories: 27, Fat: 0gTip: Pile veggies high; just be sure they're not smothered in butter, cheese or a creamy dressing like ranch! Says Marissa Lippert, R.D., author of The Cheater's Diet: "A little drizzle of olive oil with garlic will save you big." Even skinnier: Go for steamed (add lemon and red pepper flakes for kick!).
Pasta (1 cup with 1/2 cup sauce)
"Fattest cooking"
Pasta primavera Alfredo
Calories: 471, Fat: 20g"In-between cooking"
Pasta Bolognese (meat sauce)
Calories: 371, Fat: 12g -
Pasta (1 cup with 1/2 cup sauce)
"Skinniest cooking"
Pasta with marinara sauce
Calories: 305, Fat: 4gTip: It's not the carbs in the noodles that typically derail your diet—it's the topping. Anything Alfredo, even the healthy-sounding primavera, is likely high in fat and calories. "Opt for a simple, flavorful tomato sauce instead," says Keri Gans, R.D., author of The Small Change Diet.
Chicken (4 oz. cooked)
"Fattest cooking"
Chicken Parmigiana
Calories: 504, Fat: 29g"In-between cooking"
Pecan-crusted chicken
Calories: 467, Fat: 27g -
Chicken (4 oz. cooked)
"Skinniest cooking"
Grilled chicken
Calories: 168, Fat: 4gTip: "A boneless, skinless breast is a wonderfully lean source of protein," says Gans. Rub it with rosemary, thyme and lemon zest and throw it on the grill. Yes, nuts are healthy, but pecan-crusted often means breaded and pan-seared, which adds extra fat.
Shrimp (4 oz.)
"Fattest cooking"
Shrimp scampi
Calories: 310, Fat: 26g"In-between cooking"
Popcorn shrimp
Calories: 280, Fat: 13g -
Shrimp (4 oz.)
"Skinniest cooking"
Shrimp cocktail
Calories: 131, Fat: 2gTip: It's typically a great pick, says Gans, but certain preparations can weigh down this lean choice. Thanks to generous amounts of butter, shrimp scampi can have even more calories than fried popcorn shrimp and more fat than seven strips of bacon! Shrimp cocktail, which is boiled, is always your best bet.
Potatoes (1 cup)
"Fattest cooking"
Potato salad
Calories: 358, Fat: 21g"In-between cooking"
Potatoes au gratin
Calories: 323, Fat: 19g -
Potatoes (1 cup)
"Skinniest cooking"
Roasted potatoes
Calories: 193, Fat: 9gTip: On their own, spuds are a great source of iron and potassium. It's the company they keep (butter! mayo! cheese!) that can sabotage your stay-slim efforts. Best choice: Roast 'em in the oven with garlic and herbs. If you can't resist a potato salad, go for one with a Dijon-based dressing, suggests Lippert.

I have to apologize to my group for being late with my prints. I promise, I will get it done. It's just been a bit more challenging than I expected.
I have finally mailed my prints today. Sorry about the delay!
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
I still have to find a way to get what I want with the negative I selected. The print is almost fine, but I need some more highlights. I'll try Farmer's reducer and hope it's what will make it shine, but am afraid there could be some more delay.
Rachelle, Alan W, Steve
My sincere apologies that my prints are so late. The final prints are in the drying rack now after several iterations. I will take them in for mounting on Monday and should have them in the post by Wednesday latest.
Rachelle thank you for the exquisite print. The delicacy if the tree juxtaposed with the strong texture and beautiful tonality of the brickwork is remarkable. Thanks so much!
My sincere apologies once more. My prints will be on their way shortly.
Feeling like a deadbeat, but finally got the prints packed up and ready to ship - They will be in the post tonight.
Rachelle, Alan W, Steve
I mailed the prints this morning. I expect them to take about 2 weeks to arrive. Sorry for the delay.
The print is of the Ipithi Falls in the Krantzkloof nature reserve. The Krantzkloof is a deep gorge cut by the Molweni river after which my home town, Kloof, is named. "Ipithi" is Zulu (the local indigenous language) for "duiker", a small antelope that is native to the forested areas of Southern Africa and can be seen in the Krantzkloof. The photograph was shot in 6x4.5 format on Ilford Delta 100, developed in ID-11 (1+1) and printed on Ilford Art 300 fibre paper. It is not toned but was processed according to the "optimum permanence" process in the Art 300 data sheet.
I hope you like it.
Kind Regards
Thank you very much for the "Standing Stones, Cumbria" infra-red print, Paul! It must be very interesting to live somewhere one can come across things from vanished cultures.

This is where I share a collection of cool, created by me or curated from around the web. I focus on untraditional party themes, unfussy fashion and creative activities for your modern family.
Let's chat! firstname.lastname@example.com
Born, raised and currently residing in Orange County, CA I look forward to sharing my local loves as well as online resources to bring the California casual vibe to your family.
Sharon Garofalow
Editor, Food lover , Cocktail Creator, Craft DIYer…
Craft Policy:
I am in no way a craft expert. If I suggest a method of making something, adhering something, cutting something, etc. please be careful and ultimately use what you feel comfortable with. I will probably not make things requiring power tools because I like my fingers. Craft at your own risk. I am in no way responsible if you glue your finger together with spray adhesive or burn yourself with the glue gun. Most of my crafts are simple and do not require a ton of crazy supplies. I prefer to give you an idea and have you customize them or make them better based on your own skill set or craft knowledge. Crafting is just for fun and should be used for good and not evil.
Recipe Policy:
I love to eat. And I sometimes love to cook. I am in no way trained in cooking or baking. Most of my recipes are super simple and often I have consulted with someone else to make sure that I am on the right track when modifying or creating something. A lot of the recipes that I share, I consider "family recipes." This does not mean that my family created them but down the line the original source may have gone un-noted. I never intend to pass these recipes off as my own but there really is no way of knowing where it came from. Except for my grandma's blue cheese vinaigrette recipe. I'm pretty sure she stole that from her neighbor. But I don't know her name and I'm pretty sure she doesn't have a website. It will not hurt my feelings if you think of a better way to make a dish. Make it your own! Also, I am not responsible for pounds gained or calories consumed. (Helpful hint: my grandfather always told me that if you freeze your chocolate it removes the calories. You're welcome).

On Wednesday I was a guest at a conference which brought together delegates from Central Government departments and their would-be suppliers to discuss Identity and Information issues. There was a common assumption among the delegates that it was a self evident truth that we all need coherent electronic identities within frameworks regulated by government

I enjoyed Government 2010 on Thursday despite the tunnel vision of enthusiasts who believe the Internet changes everything but will nonetheless be much the same in 2015 as it is today. That may, unfortunately, be true in the UK where the Digital Britain vision is still only for one-way video-streaming rather than the "competing inter-active, broadcast quality video networks to the home" that was the vision of the last Government for 2002.
Is it because most of the closed community which controls the Internet wish to avoid taking responsibility for their actions/inaction by pretending it is an immature but precocious child?
Why does each generation of technology devotees feel compelled to repeat the mistakes of the last one - like teenagers discovering sex?
Several players want to brief MPs and candidates on Cloud Computing. Why should politicians be interrested? Is it any more than the global data centres of Google and IBM and Microsoft outflanking those of EDS and Fujitsu? Who is willing to address the political issues of responsibility for resilience and content and liability for service failure or abuse?
The Information Society Alliance (EURIM) Policy Dragons Den in Manchester was the only one to proceed to a vote. Under the crisp chairmanship of Kemi Adegoke (Candidate for Dulwich and West Norword) there was some distressingly well informed roasting of the IT industry's track record of delivery and a lively argument over the desirability and practicality of cleaning up (alias censoring) the Internet, The twelve parliamentary candidates on the panel then gave clear priority to removing the barriers to enterprise and job creation.
In 1995, during the run up to the Atlanta Olympics, I attended a meeting at which security and protection against malpractice were identified as central to the future of the Internet. That scare was premature. Now we are being told that organised crime has finally caught up with the opportunities on offer and time has run out. Is that any more true?
The Labour Candidates at the EURIM Dragons Den in Brighton shared many concerns with the LibDem Dragons in Bournemouth but we also discussed the need for industry, both suppliers and users, to help organise briefing events, material and other support for those involved in local broadband access campaigns.

Social remains problematic for CMOs
29 August 2013
THETFORD CENTER: Only 15% of chief marketing officers (CMOs) in the US are able to state with any confidence that they can demonstrate quantitatively the impact of social media on their business, new research has shown.
CMO Survey
from Duke University's Fuqua School of Business had 410 respondents, of whom 93% were VP level or above and sought, among other things, to measure the business impact of social media and marketing spending.
It found that 49% of CMOs had been unable to show how social media spending had affected their business, while the remaining 36% had a good qualitative, but not quantitative, sense of the impact.
This contrasted with their understanding of overall marketing spend, where 36% said they could prove the short-term impact and 32% the long-term impact quantitatively, figures which some might regard as surprisingly low.
CMOs clearly have some work to do, especially as spending levels on social media are set to increase. Where currently 6.6% of marketing budgets are allocated to social media, this is set to rise to 9.1% in the coming 12 months and to 15.8% over the next five years.
Marketing Charts noted
, however, that CMOs had been more optimistic about social media spending in past iterations of the survey and suggested CMOs were not following through on their spending plans.
The current social media allocation of 6.6% was less than the 7.6% anticipated last year. And the short-term figure of 9.1% had declined from 10.7%, while the longer term allocation of 15.8% had dropped from 18.8%.
The survey also broke down social media spending by business type and revealed that while it is currently highest among B2B services companies, where it accounts for 7.8% of marketing budgets, within the next 12 months they will be overtaken by B2C services companies (10.7%). And over a five-year period they will in turn be surpassed by B2C product companies (19.5%).
As well as getting on top of measuring social ROI, marketers need to concentrate on integrating social media into wider marketing strategies. The survey showed there has been little movement on this for the past 36 months, with a mean score of 3.9 on a scale of one (not integrated) to seven (very integrated).

Treatment with dental implants in patients with severe osteoporosis: a case report
DOI: 10.11607/prd.00.0093
The case report of a woman with severe osteoporosis who was treated with dental implants is presented. Polyarthritis was diagnosed in 1955, and a corticosteroid medication treatment was started in 1960. During the years, the patient has undergone multiple joint surgeries. Dental implants were inserted in the maxilla in 1987 and in the mandible in 1988. Due to a compression of the spine, the patient lost 12 cm in body height between 1991 and 1993; a spontaneous femur fracture was diagnosed in December 1992. However, the arch bone has been stable; the 6- and 5-year follow-up results of the maxillary and mandibular implants, respectively, are presented.

Low-cross-talk polarization-insensitive 10-GHz-spaced 128-channel arrayed-waveguide grating multiplexer–demultiplexer achieved with photosensitive phase adjustment
Optics Letters, Vol. 26, Issue 2, pp. 64-65 (2001)
Acrobat PDF (94 KB)
We successfully fabricated a polarization-insensitive 10-GHz-spaced 128-channel arrayed-waveguide grating whose cross talk ranged from -39 to -36 dB . The optical phases of all arrayed waveguides were adjusted simultaneously by means of a photoinduced refractive-index change under ArF excimer laser irradiation through metal masks.

Official LL5 Dolphin-Dive | Pirate DSG- Work in Progress
Alright, got bored waiting for the wooden pistol grip (which I may not even wind up receiving as some shennanigans are already starting up with the seller), so I decided to finally get around to cutting up my OEM Mossberg furniture set that I had picked up off of Ebay some months ago... So here's pretty much what I started with: And after a couple of quick cuts followed by hours of sanding and dremeling.... Unfortunately the only way I could get any detail with my crappy camera was to use the flash, which sort of washed out the black. The foregrip was shortened by about an inch on each end to come very close to standard DSG pump length. I didn't want to destroy the checkering so I just did a quick light sanding to prep it for stain. Hope it works... The grip was trickier. Once I cut off the stock, unfortunately the only way to round it off to a usable shape was to take off some of the checkering, which ruined the nice border groove. So I had to use the engraving attachment on the dremel to go back around and redo it to the new contour. It looks a little funky now but I'm confident when it's stained it will fill in nicely and be almost indistinguishable from factory (except for the groove being a bit wider). And for the record, no, the grip isn't really comfortable like this, but it DOES look damn cool . If you choke up on it a bit it's not too bad though. Keep in mind, this isn't at all finished yet. I need to stain and seal the wood, then butcher the ever-loving crap out of the stock pump handle so that it will act as a sleeve inside the Mossberg foregrip. It will then simply be glued on with either epoxy or Gorilla Glue or something of that ilk. I'll also need to knock a bit off of the right side of it to work with the Gen 3 feed's retractable pusher. Just for fun- a slightly modified pic to show what it would look like with the planned 10" barrel and new short Gen 3 feed system. I present to you two fists full of badass: UPDATE!!! 8/14/2011 Ok, crappy weather led to my early return from the beaches of Wildwood, so I took a couple of pics to show what's been done since my first post. I WILL have more (and better, hopefully) pics shortly but the battery on the camera went dead right as I was about to snap some shots with the short feed and a 10" barrel installed. Wooden pump is ON! It actually works right now although I haven't glued the wood to the delrin. Still have some cuts to make to both the wood and delrin to clear the Gen 3 feed's slot and retractor before I can do that though. Apologies for the horrid lighting situation in my apartment. It's monsoon season so there's not much daylight coming from the windows to help me out. This shows the passenger side and a line marked on the pump where I have to cut it to clear the feed. I was doing my best to NOT cut into the checkering, but unfortunately, the only way to get the short feed to fit was to get the pump handle back as far as possible onto the original handle. That meant having to notch in for the bottom pump arm... The cut still needs to finish sanding and such but I ran out of time. Closer shot of the area that needs to be trimmed to clear the feed. Hacked-up delrin pump installed into the Mossberg pump. Some of the clearancing I had to do to get the hacked pump to fit. It might not look like a lot but this was some very time consuming trial and error. PITA I say... Another detail shot of the clearancing... This is what you have to make the pump handle look like to fit inside the pump. Originally I was going to leave the part the pump arms attach to untouched and let the wood stick off the front a bit, for simplicity's sake, but sure enough that didn't work with the short feed system, so I had to butcher it even further. Also had to mill down a bit of the upper arm and re-sink the holes for the cone-head screws to get them flush. If I hadn't milled the arm down, I'd have been cutting it way too close and making the wood pump way too thin in that spot for comfort. Thankfully the raw milled portion is hidden by the pump handle when it's installed so no exposed aluminum! This is a really good one to demonstrate just how much had to be cut off even the back end of the pump. The lower arm doesn't have a notch to sit in at all anymore, it's just held on by the two screws. Well that's it for now, I'll give the camera battery a while to charge and come back with more pics with the wood handle and the short feed installed with the 10" barrel. A little later, that same day... Ok, and the short feed pics: UPDATE 8/19/11 Staining and Sealing: Finished Product!!!!!

San Diego Gas & Electric Wind Projects Draw National Notice
A pair of stories in the last week detailed conflicts between San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) and national environmental groups over two separate wind projects. One of the conflicts appears to have been resolved amicably, while the other is headed to the courtroom. And each story involves the power of flight.
The amicable ending involved the Montana chapter of the National Audubon Society, which viewed with some alarm plans to build wind turbines on the Kevin Rim, an important area for birds of prey. San Francisco wind developer NaturEner is erecting the Rim Rock Wind Farm's turbines for eventual power sales to SDG&E.
Audubon members determined that 27 of the planned turbines were sited too close to ferruginous hawk nests for the group's liking. A phone call to SDG&E eventually resulted in the developer meeting with Montana Audubon, and crafting a Memorandum of Understanding to move all but two of the turbines farther from the raptor nests. Did SDG&E tell its developer to work things out? Audubon isn't saying, but it seems likely.
Meanwhile, the national environmental aviation group Project Lighthawk, which donates flight time to green groups who want to document landscape-level issues from the air, announced in its August 2012 newsletter that it had donated a flight to the San Diego-based Desert Protective Council (DPC) to capture aerial photos of the Ocotillo Express Wind Energy Project construction site.
The Ocotillo Express project would cover 12,400 acres in southwestern Imperial County adjacent to the Anza Borrego Desert State Park. Its 112 turbines would generate up to 315 megawatts of power for sale to SDG&E.
The DPC -- for whom, by way of full disclosure, I worked from 2009-2011 -- sued the Interior Department, Imperial County, and Ocotillo Wind's developer Pattern Energy in May 2012 over alleged violations of the Federal Lands Policy Management Act (FLPMA) when the project was approved. Project Lighthawk took to the air to help DPC document the scale of the construction project, as well as some alleged violations of the project's Environmental Impact Statement -- including dirt roads that DPC says have been widened far more than the 36 feet Pattern Energy is allowed, a contention that the Project Lighthawk photoswould seem to support.
The photos will be presented to the judge presiding over the case, which is one of three lawsuits now filed against the project.
