Foot Problems: Finding the Right Shoes
What is an Actionset?
Footwear plays a large role in the development of foot and toe problems such as bunions, calluses and corns, and hammer, claw, and mallet toes. Shoes that don't fit properly make these conditions worse and more painful. But wearing the right shoes may help keep foot problems from becoming worse. Key points

Dukes reminds me of that guy that wanted to kill all the Gummi Bears.
I've been suggesting it for a couple weeks now but it hasn't quite caught on. People don't hate it but they don't love it either. Its referencing River Pilots and since New Orleans is known for being right on the mighty Mississippi and is a major port city I think it works. Its unique without trying too hard to be unique.
What about: New Orleans Marshalls?
what about New Orleans Fusion? You know, like jazz/funk (rebirth,galactic,trombone shorty etc.) Kinda WNBA sounding I know... dont ask me how to represent it in a logo though lol. Also could stand for culinary fusion, with cajun/french being an easy example of that
Then just go with the name "Pirates" or some other variation...You got a ready made logo. I like the uniforms as is. The colors would need to change. There is history there. There is something there for the kids to latch onto. It doesnt really need much explanation nationally.
I mean some of these names we are coming up with, parents arent going to let there kids run around like little reapers. I mean c'mon. Plus you got to think "is it marketable". You arent just selling this product to fans from New Orleans, but non fans in N.O. former Hornet fans as far back as Charlotte, to the new up and coming casual fans, that dont have a team that they have latched onto and to mainstream media. Hey maybe that isnt Pirates, but it cant be Voodoo or Reapers or Demons or anything like that. All of those things may fit the town, but this has to be thought of as something bigger than N.O.
I'd prefer Corsairs or Privateers over Pirates or Buccaneers (Tampa has ruined that name, even if we used it first).
I think people are putting too much stock in making the name/mascot kid friendly. That's in part because as a team, the Hornets have always had one of most cartoonish brands in the league, if not the most. Hugo is/was a big part of the brand, right there front and center in the primary logo.
But look around the league. Very few teams do this. We don't need to do it either. Getting kids excited about the team is great, but I fail to see the benefits of having a cartoon as the face of the franchise.
The beauty of names like Krewe or Brass, is that you can still have a kid friendly mascot. Maybe after Pistol, Pete the Pelican? Or Lafitte the Alligator? Both mascots could work with either name.
I agree with your point about the Demons/Reapers/VooDoo...bit harder to have a fluffy pelican mascot for the Reapers.
I heard some names that some possibly relevant people like.
We'll be screaming for Hornets.
Rebrandista tapdancing will be hilarious.
Sadly, I can't see them coming to light, one especially, so I will never see that dance... for these names...
How about Hornots?
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
New member here! Like the names Dukes, Brass, Voodoo and Breakers!
Want to throw out a couple of new ideas.
New Orleans Steam Wheelers or New Orleans Wheelers - Riverboat paddelwheeler logo.
New Orleans Firebirds- Imagine a symbol of rebirth for the city and team. Invision a logo of a Pelican in the shape of a fleur-de-lis rising above blue flames, clenching a trumpet in its feet. New team colors can reflect those found on the flag of New Orleans; blue, white, red and gold.
oh crap!
42 - I can only imagine...
I guess Ascension and Resurrection may be on the short list.
Car Boys.
River Boys
Shell Oil
Benson's Boys
Mercy - what I cried when I thought how bad a name could be.
New Orleans Hubig Pies
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
Slayers is bad? Expect a visit from Kerry King...
And none of those...

That wasn't one.

A Mobile Ambients-based Approach for Network Attack Modelling and Simulation
Franqueira, Virginia Nunes Leal, van Eck, Pascal and Wieringa, Roel (2009) A Mobile Ambients-based Approach for Network Attack Modelling and Simulation. In: Proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on Dependability Aspects on Data Warehousing and Mining applications, DAWAM 2009 (in conjunction with ARES 2009, The Fourth International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security), 16-19 March 2009, Fukuoka, Japan.

Attack Graphs are an important support for assessment and subsequent improvement of network security. They reveal possible paths an attacker can take to break through security perimeters and traverse a network to reach valuable assets deep inside the network. Although scalability is no longer the main issue, Attack Graphs still have some problems that make them less useful in practice. First, Attack Graphs remain difficult to relate to the network topology. Second, Attack Graphs traditionally only consider the exploitation of vulnerable hosts. Third, Attack Graphs do not rely on automatic identification of potential attack targets. We address these gaps in our MsAMS (Multi-step Attack Modelling and Simulation) tool, based on Mobile Ambients. The tool not only allows the modelling of more static aspects of the network, such as the network topology, but also the dynamics of network attacks. In addition to Mobile Ambients, we use the PageRank algorithm to determine targets and hub scores produced by the HITS (Hypertext Induced Topic Search) algorithm to guide the simulation of an attacker searching for targets.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- J. K. Rowling
First of all, let me just say how gratifying it is to know that J. K. Rowling is a devoted reader of this blog and that she values my advice. Many of you will no doubt recall my review of the previous novel in this series (for those who don't, it's here). Ms. Rowling took my comments to heart, and she eliminated (at a rough guess) 85-90% of those annoying adverbial tags. For which I'm grateful.
I was also please to discover that Ms. Rowling is a Mickey Spillane fan and that she included a nice homage to The Mick on page 214:
"Harry," wailed Hermione. "How could you?"
"It was easy," said Harry.
Aside from that, what else is there to say? Well, the book's too long. I could cut it by 200 pages and not miss much. Not that the length is going to keep anyone from reading it. Are there deaths of beloved characters? Yes, and I was saddened by all of them. There were more than I thought there would be.
This book is mostly action, though there are some quiet moments, too. The final chapters, and the whole book, really, will make for some great action scenes in the eventual movie version.
I have to confess to great admiration for Ms. Rowling. To conceive a series like this and to cap it off with a book that ties just about everything up neatly and effectively is quite an achievement. Over the years she's made me laugh and cry, and I thank her for that. Like many others, I'll miss Harry and all his friends, but I'm glad I was along for the ride. I'll be very interested to see where J. K. Rowling goes from here.

I'm a Real Man so I didn't cry, but I loved the series anyway. I just have two questions about the final book, and here's a SPOILER ALERT for those who haven't read it. 1) How did Umbrage get away? 2) How did Longbottom get the sword?
- Bill Crider said...
Both good questions, to which I have no answer. I didn't even think about the Umbridge one, though the other did occur to me.
Umbridge didn't suffer nearly enough in either book she appeared in.
Bill's last paragraph said exactly how I feel.
Didn't Harry give him the sword?
As for the deaths (SPOILER ALERT), RIP poor little Dobby. - 6:46 PM
- Bill Crider said...
I won't say who else died, but I was sorry to see any of the Good Guys go.
- Cap'n Bob Napier said...
I should have sked my Pottermaniac daughter first. Dumbledore save Umbrage in the last book, and the sword came from the Sorting Hat. OK, than what was that beat up little person at the end when Harry and Dumbledore are talking? Voldemort? - 9:38 PM

Old Factory
11 10 Share TweetIt is illegal - but that's the thrill. Mister Flinky liked being there. He climbed up the stairs and walls and was running around like crazy. Outside you have a kind of new growing forest and Mister Flinky loved the plants.
What has been produced in there I really do not know! What I know is, that there is this old factory at the border of Sachsenhagen, surrounded by fields. First you can see the giant chimney raising up in the sky and in front of it there is this cube, the former factory. It is surely illegal to be there (I combined by the obvious signs, chains and fences telling you not to go there), but that is always the same.
Good places are expensive or illegal, and that's reasonable: you might die in there. As it is all old and rotten you may fall through a ceiling or something can fall on your head. So enter at your own risk! You have to go over a big place and get closer to the building. The front shows broken windows, graffiti everywhere, broken glass and nature conquers the place back. Inside it is quiet empty. Some tall machines are left, ladders, walls, but that's it. Nothing more, nothing less. But is a cool place for taking portraits. This old background combined with a human in there is a good combination.

Some of the things I have done over the last four years. Many have been sold or given as presents. If you're interested in any design please contact me. I will take custom orders. The price range is $35.00 - $200.00 depending on the size and details. The art work takes about two or three days to complete. The birdhourses are waterproof, but keep them in a shady area. Each piece has it's own unique name is signed and dated. Hobbies include: Growing flowers, helping the elderly, teaching art classes at Short Mountain Bible camp and cooking. Now that I'm retired, I spend a lot of time teaching children how to grow, clean and make beautiful art on gourds. Check out the links for additional photo's.

The Faces of Hunger Project is a collaborative photojournalism project between the Food and Agribusiness Institute of Santa Clara University and Second Harvest Food Bank. Through the portraits and stories collected at 15 of the more than 830 distribution sites, the project provides a glimpse of the complex and multi-faceted food environment in which the clients, volunteers, and staff navigate. The purpose of the project is to highlight Second Harvest's impact on the individuals served and the overall impact on our communities.
Over 1700 photographs were taken during the summer of 2010. Select images from the project will be on display during the annual Hunger Issues Forum on September 10, 2010. In November, a book including images and stories from the project will be available through the Second Harvest Food Bank.
This research reports the results of the analysis of surveys and focus groups of a large number of international experts on the future direction of agribusiness industry. Several scenarios are developed and explored. The most likely scenario, called Panta Rei, or Everything Moves, includes increasing effects of global warming, greater concentration of food industry and trade, increasing importance of local food production systems, greater application of biotechnology, more individualization in food consumption, and more food supply problems.
The case explores the poor performance of a medium- to large-scale baker as management attempts to determine the root cause of poor performance. Production, supply chain, and financial issues are addressed in the case.
This project assesses the impacts, costs, and challenges associated with some of the most common forms of urban agriculture in Santa Clara County: community gardens, urban farms, home gardens, and farmers' markets. Using a method for weighing produce developed by our collaborators at UC Cooperative Extension Santa Clara County, we are working with home and community gardeners to measure the amount of produce they grow. Through surveys and interviews, we will assess how taking part in urban agriculture impacts people's food security, health, social connectedness, food budgets, and civic engagement. This project also considers the costs and challenges of growing food in an urban environment.
This case study focuses on a local supermarket chain that targets the Hispanic market. The case explores the opportunities and challenges as management considers whether it should open a store in a food desert that has a high crime rate.
This study provides an analysis of California's organic producers' perspectives on current agricultural marketing orders and the impact these marketing orders activities have on the sale of certified organic produce. Data were collected from interviews, focus groups, and surveys of California organic producers. The top alternatives for change were modifying existing marketing orders to allow for promotion of organic produce and allowing organic growers the freedom to use the funds to promote their organic products.
The Food and Agribusiness Institute funds Dr. S. Andrew Starbird's Hunger Index research, completed in collaboration with the Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties.
The Hunger Index was developed to measure hunger for the most food insecure households within specific counties. The Hunger Index also calculates the number of meals that are provided by various food assistance organizations and programs: SFHB, Children and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), Meals on Wheels, School Meals Program, Senior Nutrition, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as the food stamps program), and Woman Infant and Children (WIC). Food assistance provided in both counties has increased in 2009. The county food assistance programs provided 109.4 million meals in 2009 in Santa Clara County and 29.2 million meals in San Mateo County.
Download the 2009 Hunger Index presentation [.pdf]
The Food and Agribusiness Institute hopes to expand the Hunger Index research to include all Bay Area counties in the coming years.
The creation of a new education and community garden on campus begins this year under the leadership of the Environmental Studies Institute and with the support of the Food and Agribusiness Institute as well as the College of Arts and Sciences and the Ignatian Center. The garden will soon bloom on the vacant lot at the corner of Benton and Sherman streets, just one block from Lucas Hall.
The Bronco Urban Garden (BUG) program, a new environmental justice outreach initiative, will utilize the garden to serve the greater community. BUG will work with several community-based organizations and schools to help build and nurture community and school gardens in San Jose, improving community food security and environmental literacy.
BUG Americorps members will help build new gardens (including SCU's garden) and will provide teacher training, garden assistance, gardening resources and educational program support for our community partners. The neighborhoods that will be served this year include Gardner, Washington, Alma, and Alviso.
We use Geographic Information Systems to map hunger in Santa Clara County, California, relying on census data to calculate the percent of households living at or below 200% of the federal poverty line. We then overlay a plot of the food assistance distribution points to identify areas where low income residents do not have easy access to food assistance.
In making food purchases, consumers are confronted with product labels that may be inconvenient to access and difficult to interpret. Access to such information is critical to ensure that consumers make healthy food choices. Front of Package (FOP) nutritional labeling allows consumers to be able to quickly interpret the nutritional information of a product and ensure that it aligns with their purchasing preferences. We analyze the ability of different FOP label formats to communicate nutritional information to consumers and measure to what degree these labels influence their food purchasing decisions.
We examine the problem of childhood obesity in the United States from the perspectives of parents, teachers, pediatricians, and dietitians. Members from each of these groups are asked to respond to a series of questions regarding their perception of the seriousness of the problem, the causes of childhood obesity, and potential remedies. The study is unique in that it compares survey results collected in both 2005 and 2014. We expect to report on preliminary findings in the coming weeks.
We aim to understand the relationship between food procurement and nutrition attainment of low-income populations in the Bay Area. Of particular interest is the gap between food assistance allotments and actual food expenditures. Over 30 students have helped us conduct over 800 interviews with clients of Second Harvest Food Bank. Using this data, we analyze how food prices constrain food purchasing decisions and how those decisions ultimately affect low-income individuals' nutritional well-being.

* South African government expects the country's next nuclear power plant to be up and running by 2020
* United Arab Emirates on Sunday awarded a South Korean consortium the contract to build four power plants with total capacity of 5,600 megawatts. The contract calls for the first plant to come on line in 2017 and for all four reactors to be completed by 2020
2. A landmark plan by the UAE to build its first nuclear facilities for power generation will allow it to save its oil wealth, boost crude exports and cut electricity costs in the long term
The construction agreement could grow to $40 billion if Seoul provides nuclear fuel, helps manage the plants and conducts maintenance over the next 60 years. The UAE contract with South Korea calls for the first plant to come on line in 2017 and for all four reactors to be completed by 2020.
The $20 billion agreement between a consortium led by the state-run Korea Electric Power Corp. (KEPCO) and Emirates Nuclear Energy Corp. calls for the building of four 1,400-megawatt light water nuclear reactors by 2020 near Sila on the Persian Gulf 330 kilometers west of Abu Dhabi. With post-construction maintainance and management contracts the deal could reach $40 billion, officials said.
The reactors are to be the indigenously developed APR-1400 units currently being built in South Korea.
In the past, only the United States, France, Canada, Russia and Japan have won overseas deals to build nuclear reactors, with South Korea only managing to sell components used for reactors and nuclear facilities.
South Korea is the fifth largest operator of nuclear power in the world with 20 commercial reactors accounting for 36 percent of all electricity generated in the country. It plans to build 12 new reactors by 2022 with eight to be in operation by 2016.
South Korea has been able to construct a reactor in about 52 months in the past, while in the United States it took 57 months (fastest - most take longer) and 60 months for France.
3. Australia debates plan to build 10 nuclear reactors by 2030

Game-SET-match: Pyrrole aminoimidazole alkaloids (PAIs) are metabiosynthesized from chlorinated analogues of oroidin by cell-free enzyme preparations from PAI-producing sponges. Evidence and implications for the biosynthesis of PAIs include putative single-electron transfers (SETs) that promote CC bond-forming reactions of precursors.

Neutrinos faster than light? Or faster than their competitors in the Big Science cash grab?
February 24, 2012 | Posted by News under Intelligent Design, News, Physics |
Yesterday, we reported that the faster-than-light neutrinos, one of the bigger science news buzzes of 2011 may have been an artifact of mechanical failure. Friend of Uncommon Descent Rob Sheldon shares a sense of unease about the whole thing,
Every experimentalist makes a lot of errors, he just hopes to have caught the major ones before he goes to print. This one escaped notice for just long enough. It is forgiveable, but the OPERA collaboration is on notice not to do it twice.
The nagging feeling is that they may have already known about this error, but ignored it because of the increase in attention and funding it provided. Then when the funding was secured, the "mistake" was revealed. That is to say, if you know that the Swiss are going to take their accelerator down for a year or two, and you won't be collecting any more data, the reasonable thing to do is to take the equipment apart and reassemble it for the next experiment. But if you are taking it apart, why would you notice a loose connection that you were removing anyway? Wouldn't that imply you were assembling it? It seems a tad too coincidental to be finding this problem now, and at this spot.
It's disquieting to think that that is why they might have behaved so well about the science.

Skin care is no longer a luxury or the privilege of the rich and famous. Everybody needs to look after their skin. The skin is the human body's largest organ and yet skin care in not high on the list of health priorities for many people.
Could Colloidal Silver Be A Cure For Herpes?
For many people the words herpes and cure or treatment do not fit together. Yet, there might be a cure for Herpes and it's called colloidal silver.
Home Remedies For Flu (And Colds)
The flu… it can really make one feel terrible – stuffy head, feverish body, sore and achy joints, sore throat and a runny nose. But when you know a couple of potent home remedies for flu, you'll soon be well on your way to regaining your health and your strength – and fast!
Eczema Cure – How to Treat It
For those looking for an eczema cure, you probable know the symptoms of the skin disease very well – red from inflammation, your skin is dry with flaky patches. Therefore you'll be relieved to find a wonderful home remedy for eczema.
Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining: Antibiotic Silver
The care for antibiotic silver: The incorrect use and in my opinion the over-use of antibiotics has led to a growing concern in the medical field. Antibiotics have been too frequently given to patients by their treating physicians without looking into more natural forms of cure. Not only are antibiotics given to patients too easily […]
Antibiotic Colloidal Silver: A Natural Antibiotic?
There has been quite a number of articles written about antibiotic colloidal silver and its properties. You may also have read some material where doctors are not in favour of the use of colloidal silver.
The uses of Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver in simple terms is a mineral solution. It contains silver antimicrobial particles suspended in water. It is not a natural mineral of the human body but a colloidal silver dosage for health use dates back many centuries.

PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP), the owner of Gatorade, is aiming to diversify the brand beyond beverages. The iconic drink, which dominates the $7 billion U.S. sports drink industry is hoping to replicate its success in the $20 billion U.S. sports nutrition industry. [1] The sports nutrition industry consists of sports drinks, protein bars and supplements, among other products. Currently, PepsiCo competes with the likes of Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (NYSE:DPS).
We maintain a price estimate of $71, which is about 10% above the current market price.
See our complete analysis for PepsiCo stock here
Revamping the Brand
The brand's logo was changed to a simple "G" back in 2009 in order to appeal to a whole new generation and have a logo that could be used on a wide range of products. Since then, Gatorade products have also been available at retailers outside of convenience and grocery stores, such as Dick's Sporting goods, GNC vitamin shops and other specialty sports store. The aim is to create a brand that athletes can associate with.
PepsiCo is currently testing new products using star athletes like NBA's Dwayne Wade. In fact, it's working with Wade to customize a whole new nutrition program for him to deal with the physically demanding nature of the game. [2] Athletes like Wade are crucial as they provide a marketing push to the new products during launch and better performance from the athletes help in improving brand image for the company's products.
We believe that Gatorade contributes to 16% of the stock price. The move could have a significant upside if Gatorade is indeed able to innovate and market its new line of products successfully.

Cramér–Rao analysis of phase-diverse wave-front sensing
JOSA A, Vol. 16, Issue 5, pp. 1005-1015 (1999)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (348 KB)
Phase-diverse wave-front sensing (PDWFS) is a methodology for estimating aberration coefficients from multiple incoherent images whose pupil phases differ from one another in a known manner. With the use of previous work by other authors, the Cramér–Rao lower-bound (CRLB) expression for the phase diversity aberration estimation problem is developed and is generalized slightly to allow for multiple phase-diverse images, various beam-splitting configurations, and imaging of known extended objects. The CRLB for a given problem depends implicitly on the true underlying value of the aberration being estimated. Therefore we use numerical evaluation and Monte Carlo analysis of the PDWFS CRLB expressions. The numerical evaluation is performed on an ensemble of aberration phase screens while simulating a number of different imaging configurations. We demonstrate the use of average CRLB values as figures of merit in comparing these various PDWFS configurations. For simulated point-source imaging we quantify the effects of varying the amounts and the types of diversity phase and briefly address the issue of the number of diversity images. Our results show that there is a diversity defocus configuration that is optimal in a Cramér–Rao sense for estimating certain aberrations. We also show that PDWFS Cramér–Rao squared-error values can be orders of magnitude higher for imaging of an extended target object than those from a point-source target.

Boys Night Out / Anterrabae / Just SurrenderBoys Night Out / Anterrabae / Just Surrender: live in Farmingdalelive in Farmingdale (2006)Ferret Records Reviewer Rating: 4 Contributed by: InaGreendaseBrian (others by this writer | submit your own) Having not yet gotten to experience live the majority of Boys Night Out's rather well done effort of last year, Trainwreck, getting to see them on headline a show at the agreeably sized Crazy Donkey club in Farmingdale, NY was a good opportunity, especially as I hadn't bothered with the tours they'v.
Having not yet gotten to experience live the majority of Boys Night Out's rather well done effort of last year, Trainwreck, getting to see them on headline a show at the agreeably sized Crazy Donkey club in Farmingdale, NY was a good opportunity, especially as I hadn't bothered with the tours they've supported as of late (Fall Out Boy, Armor for Sleep).

"Anyway, they were great, and more people need to be going to this tour. As Brian said before, the Trainwreck material sounds virtually flawless in a live setting, with the band nailing every twist and turn." This band's music alone is enough to keep me away, but add in their absurd aesthetic and they are revolting. 55 minutes of boys night out?? i got fed up after 5 minutes when i saw them, so that set would have ended me. Scott, I'm about 90% sure anything the band recorded pre-EP was eventually re-recorded for something. You Are My Canvas was 4 songs -- 3 of those were redone on BB&BK, and the other was "Anatomy of the Journey," which was eventually reduxed for MYS. Yes check them out. Buy trainwreck stat. Saw the first night of this tour in Cleveland. daneurysm! rather hear "the boys no good." it fits the band better "Things were looking very promising for a band who would often disappoint me with 8-song headlining sets and playing songs from 2003's Make Yourself Sick that sounded slow and tired compared to the studio versions" Oops, forgot to log in. Last comment was me. Victor Versus the Victim and This Broken Killswitch are easily the two best tracks from their EP. Weird that they didn't play them. I gotta say your comment on kara duply was really stupid. She was a freakin add-in,when they played MYS songs all she did was dance around like the ugly bitch she is. Your gay man.....but im pretty sure your a female. i saw them a week or so ago and i was greatly disappointed. i didn't know before hand that kara was what had made the difference for me in the band, without her they are as faceless and boring as any emo band. i hate to say it because i thought trainwreck was the best album released last year... oh well BNO is fucking great. I saw em in Toronto when they did a record signing at live act. I GOT TRAINWRECK SIGNED BYALLTHE BAND MEMBERS!!!! SLIP AND CD!! but seriously if anyone says there bad you need to take their sexual preference into considerations for a guy hes gay and a girl well......they do talk about killing girlfriends/wifes alot. lol. Go to hell you hipster BNO haters. Boys Night Out is very solid live. Im not the hugest fan of any of their material, but they put on a great live show. Worth the price of admission for sure. my old band drowning adam got to play with these guys during the make yourself sick era.They were a great bunch of guys on and off the stage. yes, you should. the first ep is really fucking great, you'll like that. Have never listened to BNO, should I? |
