Outkast to (Probably) Reunite, I Lose My Fu**ing MindPosted by Nathan S. on 11/19/13 | Filed under Top Stories, Andre 3000, Big Boi, Outkast
Allright, let me calm down for a minute. Take a deep breath. Picture some fucking tranquil streams and flowers or some shit Nathan, let's not get too worked up now. Aren't you the one always telling people not to get too excited about this kind of shit until it actually happens? Not is "going to" happen, not "will" happen, but "yes, this is a thing that exists in the world" actually happened? You don't want to get your nap nerd heart broken again. But still...
OUTKAST IS (probably) GOING TO REUNITE!!!!!
According to RevoltTV, Big Boi and Andre 3000 have agreed to do a series of shows in 2014. While they aren't yet giving any specific dates or locations, the word around the ye old rap interwebs is that it will at least include a Coachella performance, which may just be the only thing besides a Rosa Acosta vs. Jordan Darver wet t-shirt contest that would get me to go to
that god forsaken pit of desert despair Coachella.
A quick word of caution. This does not mean anything in regards to an Outkast album, that's an entirely different musical and legal monster. We're only talking live shows here. And we're also dealing with Andre 3000, otherwise known as hip-hop's most unreliable emcee. Could 3 Stacks decide to drop out of the show at the last minute, decide to focus instead on a career in experimental ice scuplting, and then drop a "Sorry Pt. 2" on a DJ Unk comeback album four years later? Yes, yes he could.
But fuck pragmatism and words of caution right now. The best rap duo of all-time, a duo that hasn't performed in a decade, might be getting live again, and the mere possibilty is enough to make me wet my pants with excitement. In fact, I'm going all in and fantasizing about being in the first row of their first comeback show and they play....
....you're in the same position, what song would you want to hear them open up with? "SpottieOttieDopaliscious" is an all-time favorite, but not really the mood I'm looking for right out the gate. "Player's Ball" would be an amazing old school call, but also too calm. "So Fresh & So Clean"? Actually, you know what? Even though it's not neccessarily my "favorite" Kast song, I think the clear choice is clear. A dark stage. The tension in the air is palpable. Silence. More silence. And then Andre and Big Boi come running onto the stage and you hear...
I can't even begin to imagine how fucking bananas I'd go if that shit happened. I'd lose my mind so thoroughly I'd make Rob Ford look like Bob Ross. And while that dream might not literally come true, we're closer today than we've been in the last decade, and for now that's enough. It's more than enough.

Holy cow, I wrote a book!
In the 16-bit world, part of the calling convention was fixed
by the instruction set: The BP register defaults to the SS selector,
whereas the other registers default to the DS selector.
So the BP register was necessarily the register used for
accessing stack-based parameters.
The registers for return values were also chosen automatically
by the instruction set.
The AX register acted as the accumulator and therefore was the
obvious choice for passing the return value.
The 8086 instruction set also has special instructions
which treat the DX:AX pair as a single 32-bit value,
so that was the obvious choice to be the register pair
used to return 32-bit values.
That left SI, DI, BX and CX.
(Terminology note: Registers that do not need to be preserved
across a function call are often called "scratch".)
When deciding which registers should be preserved by a calling
convention, you need to balance the needs of the caller against
the needs of the callee. The caller would prefer that all
registers be preserved, since that removes the need for the caller
to worry about saving/restoring the value across a call.
The callee would prefer that no registers be preserved, since
that removes the need to save the value on entry and restore it
on exit.
If you require too few registers to be preserved, then callers
become filled with register save/restore code. But if you
require too many registers to be preserved, then callees become
obligated to save and restore registers that the caller might
not have really cared about. This is particularly important for
leaf functions (functions that do not call any other functions).
The non-uniformity of the x86 instruction set was also a contributing
factor. The CX register could not be used to access memory, so you
wanted to have some register other than CX be scratch, so that a leaf
function can at least access memory without having to preserve any
registers. So BX was chosen to be scratch, leaving SI and DI as
So here's the rundown of 16-bit calling conventions:
In summary: Caller cleans the stack, parameters pushed right to left.
Function name decoration consists of a leading underscore.
My guess is that the leading underscore prevented a function
name from accidentally colliding with an assembler reserved word.
(Imagine, for example, if you had a function called "call".)
Nearly all Win16 functions are exported as Pascal calling convention.
The callee-clean convention saves three bytes at each call point,
with a fixed overhead of two bytes per function. So if a function
is called ten times, you save 3*10 = 30 bytes for the call points,
and pay 2 bytes in the function itself, for a net savings of 28 bytes.
It was also fractionally faster. On Win16, saving a few hundred bytes
and a few cycles was a big deal.
Consequently, __fastcall was typically faster only for short leaf functions,
and even then it might not be.
Okay, those are the 16-bit calling conventions I remember.
Part 2 will discuss 32-bit calling conventions, if I ever get around
to writing it.

versus administrative procedures, while others arise because the procedures are intended to obtain different data. For example, the ACS collects data on income received in the past 12 months on a rolling basis. Thus households interviewed in January report on income received during the period from the previous January through December, while households interviewed in December report on income received during the period from the previous December through November. In contrast, school meals program applications obtain data on current monthly income, which will typically be income for the month in which the application is being completed or the previous month—probably July, August, or September for most students. Even if the data obtained by the ACS and by program applications are fully accurate, eligibility based on annual income can be different from eligibility and certification based on monthly income. Yet another difference is that the ACS records where students live, while school meals program certification data are based on where students attend school. In areas with school choice options, such as charter and magnet schools or open enrollment policies, some students may not attend their neighborhood school or even any school in the district in which they reside. This phenomenon will be captured in the administrative data but not the ACS data.
The second section of the chapter presents the panel's analysis of the precision, intertemporal stability, and timeliness, as well as the general relative performance, of the alternative estimates from the ACS, including the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and model-based estimates. As discussed in Chapter 3, stability in reimbursement is important to districts because it facilitates budgeting and other planning activities involved in operating the school meals programs. Nonetheless, some instability in reimbursement occurs naturally under traditional operating procedures as a result of changes in certification percentages and participation rates from year to year due to ups and downs in the economy, outreach efforts by school authorities, and other factors. However, basing reimbursements on ACS estimates will introduce additional instability due to sampling variability and other sources of error that cause estimates to fluctuate. Because they are based on larger samples and average the data collected in different years, 5-year ACS estimates will tend to be more precise and stable than 3-year estimates, which will be more precise and stable than 1-year estimates. However, the precision and stability carry a cost: the 5-year estimates and, to a lesser degree, the 3-year estimates will be less timely and less responsive to real changes in socioeconomic conditions. The panel's analyses explored these trade-offs.
The panel also explored the role of participation—that is, the purchase or free receipt of meals by students. Participation is important because it is the basis for reimbursing districts for the meals they serve

Last week I explained how, for the entrepreneur, the "plateau" is natural and unavoidable.
You might say this is especially true for the legal entrepreneur, since if you are starting a solo practice you are likely going to be a one-man or one-woman show for a while.
However, whatever the size or structure of your firm/business, the characteristics I described are universal… The common thread being you will get (extremely) close to burnout and quitting!
I also offered you the first 5 steps to get yourself OUT of the plateau… which mainly revolve around knowing your "numbers" inside out. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the next 5 steps. So without further more ado, here they are:
Tip #6. Seek a level one greater than your own. Be very careful in whom you confide during a plateau. Of course, there's no sense in hiding where you're at, but not everyone can support you through it. This is a time to expand your sphere of influence. Find entrepreneurs who are playing one level beyond where you are and ask for advice and support. They'll be able remember their last plateau and give you the reassurance and advice you need. Find (or create) a mastermind of professionals who can expand your mind and hold you accountable to your own goals.
Tip #7. Trim the fat. Seek and destroy inefficiencies in your personal or business spending, at least temporarily. Even at the darkest moments, I have found ways to be more efficient in my finances, such as renegotiating my VOIP contract, cell phone contract, growing our own produce (yes, we did get our hands dirty to save money and have homegrown organic food!), moving our insurance to a cheaper provider, etc. Even $50 can help! Trimming can be joyful thing. Just think of it as freeing energy for better things.
Tip #8. Find your "Oh Shit!" number. That's the bank balance that makes you jump out of your chair and yell, "Oh Shit!" You panic! You think! You ACT! And when you act, you will make things happen. I had no idea I had an "Oh Shit" number until Alexis pointed it out to me. When I realized my number was the same number my mother had as her monthly allowance, something in me snapped and I decided I would do everything in my power to bring conscious awareness to this self-limiting number floating around in my head. I've been pushing my number up ever since. What is your "Oh Shit!" number?
Tip #9. Weigh the alternatives. I mean the alternative to being an entrepreneur. What are you going to do if you throw in the towel? Are you employable? Are there jobs to be had? Will you like working for someone else? Will it offer you something other than stability? What about being employed is comforting? Frightening? What about being an entrepreneur do you love? What do you loathe?
Tip #10. Wait 90 days before you throw in the towel or make any drastic moves, do all of these things for 3 months. Don't give up. After 90 days, use the information you've acquired to write up a good old-fashioned Pro/Con list. Now, if you choose to walk away from your plateau, then at least you've not done so under duress and in an unclear state of mind.
Creating a business has been one of the most amazing journeys for me (aside from being a parent). It has forced me to look at things from points of view I never anticipated. It is enervating and unnerving. Terrifying and exciting. Sometimes, I'm on the fence, just like most entrepreneurs. But that #10 step, that's the ticket. Wait to make a decision.
Because this too shall change. Enjoy the ride!

Some things to think about when choosing a bathroom grab bar
■Weight: Consider the weight of the people who will be using it. Some bars are rated to support up to 250 pounds, the amount required to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Others support up to 500 pounds.
■Comparison shop: Compare prices and quality. The Invisia shampoo shelf retails for about $285 online, depending on the finish, while one made by Moen is available at Home Depot for about $40.
■Mounting: Be aware of how it will be mounted. If you havent reinforced the back of your shower or tub with plywood, youll likely need a bar with 16-inch offsets, or multiples thereof, to secure it properly.
■Double-duty: Many people think of grab bars for the shower and bathtub, but consider putting one near the toilet, too. The 10-inch bars from Best Bath Systems can be mounted to hold a roll of toilet paper. Invisia, meanwhile, makes a more substantial, 13-inch-high arched toilet paper holder.

The renovation of the master bathroom in my 83-year-old fathers new house turned out beautifully, with a frameless glass shower and handmade ceramic tile accents. Neither of us wanted to make it look institutional with a grab bar.
We neednt have worried because many of todays grab bars are cleverly disguised, looking instead like sleek soap dishes, functional shampoo trays, trendy towel racks and even toilet paper holders.
Take for instance the corner shelf from American Standards Invisia line. It looks like nothing more than a solid white tray set inside a tubular frame. But that tube, available in brushed stainless or chrome, functions as a grab bar and can support up to 500 pounds.
Want fun and funky? Best Bath Systems has a series of acrylic towel bars with hidden mounts that come in more than two dozen colors, some opaque, some translucent, some with embedded stones and some that even glow in the dark.
Or for a spa feel, they make a teak grab bar that comes in six different lengths, from 10 inches to 42 inches. Mounting hardware is available in a choice of five finishes.
We realized there were a lot of people who wanted an attractive option for safety and who didnt want to be reminded of their inabilities first thing in the morning and last thing at night, said Abbie Sladick, 53, of Naples, Fla., a certified contractor and remodeler who created the GreatGrabz line. It was purchased by Best Bath Systems last year for an undisclosed amount.
Still, I wondered what having a grab bar in the bathroom might do to the eventual resale value of the house. Turns out, it might just help it.
A 2012 survey found that about half of those ages 55 to 64 thought that bathroom aids, such as grab bars and shower seating, were essential or desirable. That rose to nearly two-thirds among those age 65 and older. Even in the younger age groups, about a third of those surveyed agreed.
The National Association of Home Builders online survey of more than 3,860 respondents included only those who had purchased a house in the past three years or were planning on doing so in the next three years. In other words, people who were really thinking about what they wanted in a home, said Stephen Melman, NAHBs director of economic services.
Statistics show that while people 85 and older are the most likely to slip and fall, no age group is immune. Nearly 22 million people over the age of 15 went to the hospital because of a bathroom injury in 2008, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Falls accounted for more than 80% of the injuries.
Although 85% of those taken to a hospital were treated and released, the injuries still resulted in approximately $67.3 billion in lifetime medical costs.

Sarah's new challenge
Carol Buenafe, clerk: "Why did the producers of 'The Voice' choose Sarah Geronimo as one of the judges? I don't doubt her ability as a performer, but does that qualify her as a mentor for aspiring singers?"
Other notes:
Oscar Albina, teacher: "There's a resurgence of original Pilipino music (OPM), thanks to songwriting competitions like PhilPop and 'Himig Handog.'
"Sadly, however, none of the entries has become as popular as MetroPop's 'Anak' by Freddie Aguilar or Apo's 'Ewan.' What's the problem? Perhaps our music experts can shed light on this?"
Gina Franco, student: "I admire stars who make the extra effort to look good onscreen and off. Some of them go overboard, however, by resorting to extreme beauty-enhancement procedures even when they don't need them! As a result, some of them look like distant variants of their old selves—and, worse, their newly acquired look distracts from their performances!
"Recently, while watching a local film, I overheard these and other pungent comments: 'Ay, ano'ng nangyari sa ilong n'ya—bakit tabingi? Bakit iba na ang galaw ng bibig n'ya?' Some stars need to think thrice before going through those procedures, if they don't want to be a laughing stock inside the moviehouse!"
Punch lines
Tessie Canares, housewife: "Watching old Pinoy films on TV has reminded me of the wacky likes of Chichay and Moody Diaz. They could make me laugh without hitting their punch lines too hard, or contorting their faces. Comediennes these days have a lot to learn from them!"
Reynaldo Benitez, office employee: "I take my hat off to singer-songwriter Noel Cabangon, who defies the perception that only great looks and a passable singing ability can sell records. I buy Noel's albums because he connects with his listeners. His heartfelt renditions of classic OPMs and his no-frills singing style are music to my ears!"

Egypt president toughens rhetoric on Israel
CAIRO Egypt's Islamist president delivered his fiercest condemnation yet of Israel's offensive in Gaza on Friday, warning that the blood Israel sheds will be a "curse upon it" and presenting post-revolution Egypt as the new Arab champion for the Palestinians.
Mohammed Morsi spoke in a speech at a mosque after weekly Friday prayers, dramatically stepping up his rhetoric against Israel hours after his prime minister visited Gaza in a show of support for its Hamas rulers. After Friday prayers, thousands marched in Cairo in support of Palestinians.
Morsi, a veteran of the Muslim Brotherhood group that opposes Israel, has been trying to walk a middle path amid the first major crisis with Israel since he took office in late June. Many in Egypt demand that the country's first elected president take a tougher line with Israel than ousted leader Hosni Mubarak did. At the same time, Morsi feels pressure not to go too far and risk straining ties with Israel's ally, the United States.
At the same time, Morsi appears to be trying to turn the crisis to his advantage, by depicting Egypt as the Arab world's main protector of the Palestinians, after years under Mubarak, who was closely tied to Israel and opposed to the Hamas militant group.
"Egyptians love peace ... but they have always been able to fend off aggressors and protect the land, the nation and the Muslim world," he said in his address at a mosque near his home in a Cairo suburb. "We are even more insistent on remaining a protective shield to the Arab and Muslim world."
"We say to the aggressor, peace will never be achieved through aggression ... because war does not build stability or peace," Morsi said. "This blood will be a curse on you," he said as the crowd in the mosque chanted, "God is great" and "With our blood and souls, we sacrifice for Palestine."
"I say to the aggressor to take a lesson from history and stop this farce and bloodshed or else you will face the wrath of the people and their leadership," he said. "Egypt today is different than Egypt yesterday and that the Arabs today are different than the Arabs of yesterday."
Morsi has pulled Egypt's ambassador from Tel Aviv to protest Israel's bombardment of Gaza, which Israel says was launched in retaliation for Islamic militant rocket attacks. At least 22 Palestinians, including 12 militants and six children, as well as three Israelis have been killed in three days of fierce exchanges between the Israeli military and Gaza militants. Seven Palestinians were killed earlier in the week from another series of airstrikes.
The dispatching of his prime minister, Hesham Kandil, was a dramatic if largely symbolic show of support for Hamas, which is effectively the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Kandil is the highest level Egyptian official to visit Gaza since Hamas took over the territory in 2007 after winning elections two years earlier.

This book is a delightful but historically rigorous series of separate voyages into "imaginary time" and provides intriguing
This book is a delightful but historically rigorous series of separate voyages into "imaginary time" and provides intriguing, far-reaching answers to these questions. Virtual History features contributions from talented, imaginative and well-regarded historians, led by Niall Ferguson. Ferguson's ninety-page introduction is a brilliant manifesto-like defense of the methodology of counterfactual history and offers a convincing justification of the whole enterprise. His equally masterful afterword traces the likely historical ripples that would have proceeded from the maintenance of Stuart rule in England. This breathtaking narrative paints a picture of our world that is convincingly skewed: from the accession of "James III" in 1701 and a Nazi-occupied England, to U. S. Prime Minister Kennedy who lives to complete his term and the "Sultan of Baghdad" Saddam Hussein. ...show less

distinguish the areas in order to accurately place the colors. Sometimes, several colors of yarn or thread are very
close in shade. If these same colors were used on the canvas, they would be almost

Remember Me
Los Lobos/David Lindley :: 12.06.08 :: Fillmore Auditorium :: San Francisco, CA
What shone forth from the first notes of their lengthy set, kicked off by the buoyant "One Time One Night," was the profound enthusiasm they possess for their music. There was never a moment's question about their enjoyment in engaging with their catalog in front of a live audience. Los Lobos funnels '50s rugcutters, Tejano bounce, acid dipped psychedelia, Dead style jamming, pungent funk and way more through their well-tooled sieve. What remains is juicy with enough pulp to remind you of the fruit and the hands that crushed it for your enjoyment. With massive confidence and focused determination, David Hidalgo (vocals, guitars), Louie Pérez (vocals, guitars), Conrad Lozano (bass, vocals), Cesar Rosas (guitars, vocals), Steve Berlin (keys, horns) and longtime tour percussionist Cougar Estrada rattled like full grown men with music in their bones, a quiet giant happily plying their craft, right there for anyone to see and enjoy. But even at their own concert, they never went out of their way to draw undo attention to anything, the songs arriving with humility, professionalism and party sparking excitement. It didn't take long before I tried to kick myself in the ass for having last seen them in concert almost 10 years ago.
Another master musician, David Lindley kicked off the evening with a marvelous solo set that offered myriad lessons in storytelling and the value of tradition tending – if you were one of the few people who shut up long enough to take in Lindley's no frills roots seminar. Most of the room was probably unaware that the 75th anniversary of the repeal of prohibition had occurred the night before, but that didn't stop the alcohol loosened chatter from drowning out much of the many subtleties in Lindley's gorgeously picked, globe trotting tales of drifters, meth makers and broken hearts. Looking like a cross between Rasputin and a lawn gnome is his "traditional" Hawaii Five-O meets hippie chic look, Lindley made the big ol' Fillmore stage seem like his living room, all comfortable and intimate, but again, only if you actively leaned in a bit. Your reward for meeting him halfway was slide work that'd make Duane Allman do a jig, Appalachian hollers torn out over fiery string bouzouki playing, mandocello instrumentals reminiscent of Michael Hedges and John Renbourn, great road stories and more than a few gallows style yucks, all delivered with a curious mixture of super serious musicianship and carney showmanship.
By the time Los Lobos ambled out, the hall was pretty well lit up, wine and cocktails getting more precarious as people stumbled around in search of their pals under the pale purple light of The Fillmore chandeliers, which gave the space the feel of a high school dance or some yesteryear boy-girl mixer when Cesar Rosas fired up one of his Chuck Berry worthy nuggets like the sax blurt and rapid fire note storm of "Evangeline." There's perhaps nothing better than a band that makes fully grown, 401K watchin' adults loosen the hell up. Los Lobos accomplishes this by their welcoming presence and songs that manage to be both radio-friendly welcoming (in many cases) and lightly experimental.
Such is the full bloomin' sweep of a great American band, and Los Lobos joins Railroad Earth in being one of the few true standard bearers for what Garcia and his brothers started in S.F. in the '60s. What Los Lobos brings in, just as Railroad and the Dead do, is their own local echoes, the peculiarities that form the tendrils they reach out into the soundscape with. They are very much creatures of East L.A. and one hears the Fania singles and Tex-Mex oom-pah-pah of their childhoods. But they also manhandle forces as diverse as Brian Eno and The Who (this night touched on with a delightfully brutal cover of "My Generation"). At the stage where most bands with their tenure are settled into comfortable, lucrative pockets there remains a strong artistic itch to Los Lobos. The kernel of inspiration that brought them into a band in the first place flourishes inside the mighty organism they've grown into.
Los Lobos will celebrate New Year's Eve in Tucson, AZ; complete tour dates available here.

NYE in TUCSON! I can't wait, yeah everybody else in every other state will enjoy other great talents, maybe even better, but Lobos is brilliant and especially live. They always put on a great show and add a nice Grateful Dead tune in their sets. It'll be a nice way to end the year Arizona Style!
I can't agree more with brooklynite84, but accidentally hit the thumbs down...sory. Viva Los Lobos!!!
"There's perhaps nothing better than a band that makes fully grown, 401K watchin' adults loosen the hell up."
What a great line!
What a great fvckin band!
don't really dig Los Lobos but David Lindley is the shit. he's funny as hell and the man can play just about any instrument that has strings on it and probably some without. if he comes to your town check him out you will not be let down.
Hidalgo and other lobos in with Cheese at BSC last year...anyone?
bad ass.
Great review! I love this band. Their Live @ The Fillmore DVD kicks ass.
keep the Twin Cities love comin guys! See you soon.
F YEAH! only one band that could get Jerry playing. i will never understand the under apprecitation of these fine musicians. Viva la Los Lobos!
Nice review, Dennis. Too bad the folks were not better tuned into Mr. Dave, because he is one of the world's great musical treasures. I had the great fortune of taking a master class with him many years ago, and the guy is as funny and unassuming as he is talented- and his talent is ferocious. There are many great tales of his antics. It is a shame he is not known better.
Los Lobos is always great. Nice pairing, wish I had been there.
hell yeah. lindley has gotta be one of the few, true string masters. he had some hiccups in the 80s, but o well.
I dig Lindley
They just added a on-off electric show in the middle of their Spring Acoustic tour at Irving Plaza in NYC. Guaranteed to be a great show/ tiny venue.

Excerpt from Federal Issues:
CFPB Releases Prototypes of Combined Final TIL and HUD-1 for Public Comment. On November 8, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released for public comment two alternative versions of a new mortgage disclosure form that would effectively combine the current disclosure requirements of the final federal Truth in Lending (TIL) and HUD-1 Settlement Statement forms. The release of these prototype forms marks the second phase of the CFPB's Know Before You Owe program designed to revamp consumer disclosures relating to mortgages with the first phase being CFPB's release of a combined initial TIL and Good Faith Estimate (GFE) form. A primary feature of both versions of the proposed disclosure is a prominent text box that highlights whether a mortgage loan payment or interest rate can change during the life of the loan. The CFPB stated that it considered public and industry feedback on the combined initial TIL and GFE during development of the combined final TIL/HUD-1 prototypes. In addition to soliciting public comments, the CFPB will hold substantive discussions with members of the public and mortgage industry representatives as part of its testing process. The CFPB expects to release the draft forms for official notice and comment rulemaking in July 2012, as required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

The new and improved Astros.

A couple of weeks ago, the Astros decided to start rebuilding, trading Roy Oswalt to Philly for J.A.Happ and prospects. Then they traded Lance Berkman to the Yankees for more prospects. In four starts Happ (in my opinion) has showed ace potential. His stikeouts per nine innings is 8.38 which is second behind Bud Norris (9.75) amongst Astros starters and a tad better than what Roy Oswalt has don...

What Little Trick Could Help You Get a Lost Wallet Returned?
It costs a lot of money to raise kids, but who knew having them might actually help keep money in your wallet?
It costs a lot of money to raise kids, but who knew having them might actually help keep money in your wallet?
If you have good neighbors, consider yourself lucky.
Craigslist is a great resource for meeting people and buying and selling almost anything. But when it comes to giving away children, there are probably better ways. That didn't stop a Texas woman from offering her three-year-old for adoption on the service, however.
Sometimes you just feel the music. Everyone has had that moment in their car when they get a little too enthusiastic while belting out the tunes only to find your being watched by judgeful eyes in the vehicle next to you.
'I Will Always Love You' isn't an easy song to sing. That's why the late Whitney Houston's flawless take on the Dolly Parton-penned tune became one of the biggest hits in music history. But a woman on an American Airlines flight between Los Angeles and New York's version of the song wasn't as well received.
For a couple from Florida their vacation diving excursion went from fun to high speed chase in a matter of minutes. Although, they weren't fleeing police nor in a car, they were in a speed boat and being chased by a pod of Orcas or Killer Whales. See the amazing video!
The life you start after getting married is supposed to be the best time of your life. You fall in love, get married, move in together, start having children, and grow old together. Of course life isn't always rainbows and butterflies. For one couple in New York, the fact that they each have mental disabilities is stopping them from living together, even in a group home.
Real or not real, this is officially the best part of going to a Grizzlies game -- watching people break up on the Kiss Cam. Unless, of course, you're the guy who got dumped, in which case this is probably the worst part of going to a Grizzlies game.
Was it a bad omen or a free light show? Whatever the cause, the couple in this video probably started having second thoughts when a big bolt of lightning struck right behind them during their beach side wedding in the Florida Keys
If you're going to blow through your life savings, you should at least do so in a way that gains sympathy. Don't do what Henry Gribbohm did.
A forewarning: if heights aren't your thing we suggest you look away.

Health has always been a major concern for Indians due to lack of proper diagnostic and treatment facilities. However, now that people have been able to tide over this crisis with the opening of multi-specialty hospitals, most patients face just one problem — funds crunch. Patients who have been hit the hardest are those suffering from rare diseases like Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs) who have no support from either insurance firms or the government.
LSDs are a group of around 45 rare genetic disorders caused by deficiency of a specific enzyme in special compartments (lysosomes) of the cells. Of the 45-plus LSDs, only 7 are currently treatable and the incidence of treatable LSDs ranges from 1 in 30,000 to 1 in 400,000 births. At present enzyme replacement therapy is available as an option for treatment.
According to Shashank Sathe, father of an LSD afflicted, a single injection can cost up to Rs 70,000. At a time, some patients may have to take four injections every 15 days. So the cost for a year can go up to Rs 1.5 crore. At present there is no permanent treatment available and so those suffering from this disorder have to take these injections for the rest of their lives.
Dr Priya Kishnani, Professor of Pediatrics, Division of Medical Genetics, Duke University said, "The treatment of some of these serious conditions has now become available with advances in medical science, but it is beyond the paying capacity of most patients."
According to her, as a small number of people suffer from rare diseases, pharmaceutical companies are unable to recover their research and development costs over a large base of patients. "It is for this reason that these drugs are exorbitantly priced at a global level."
Manjit Singh, president of Lysosomal Storage Disorders Support Society (LSDSS), an advocacy group for rare genetic disease patients says, "We have been meeting the health ministry officials regularly. We want the government to make a corpus fund of about Rs 300 crore from where money can be provided for the victims."
At present there are around 130 patients in the country who are getting free treatment by international pharma companies on international humanitarian grounds, but what about the others, asks Manjit, who is also a father of two children suffering from the disorder. "We had submitted a detailed document to health ministry officials in the UPA, but before anything could be done the government changed. We are planning to meet health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan next week," he adds.
Kavita Sangle's son Atharva is one of the few in India who has managed to get free treatment for LSD. "I am one of the lucky few to get help. I feel the government should do something for others as well," she says. A police constable posted in Thane, she had to struggle to meet several senior officials before finally getting the approval for her son's treatment costs by the Maharashtra government.
In May, the Delhi High Court had directed Delhi government to provide seven-year-old Ahmed Sirajuddin with enzyme replacement therapy at AIIMS free of charge as and when he requires it. Ahmed, son of a rickshaw puller, is suffering from Gaucher disease whose treatment costs about Rs 6 lakh per month. Ahmed is the fourth and only surviving child of his parents and three of his siblings have already succumbed to the disease.
There is no official data available anywhere on the number of patients suffering from this disorder in the country. According to data available with LSDSS, there are 600 registered cases of LSDs in India. Manjit Singh says there could be more than 40,000 cases in India, but they may not have been diagnosed as rural India does not have the facilities to detect these diseases.
"These disorders should not be called rare diseases but rare and neglected diseases," says Dr Kishnani.
Dr Mamta Muranjan, Consultant in Clinical Genetics at PD Hinduja National Hospital and Professor and in-charge of Genetic Clinic, KEM Hospital, Mumbai says, "LSDs occur in about one in 5,000 live births. Due to their rarity, there is lack of awareness about these diseases as well as the treatment options available. Often, LSDs are diagnosed at a stage when they are difficult to manage. Even if the diagnosis is on time, the family of the patient is usually unable to afford the cost of treatment."
In India the best places for treatment of these disorders according to LSDSS are the AIIMS and Sir Ganga Ram hospital in Delhi, KEM hospital and Jaslok hospital in Mumbai and the Apollo hospital in Chennai.
Dr Muranjan said, "In a year we see around 15-20 new patients with LSDs." Dr Aabha Nagral, Liver Specialist from Jaslok hospital said, "I get around 10-12 new patients in a year."
The seven treatable LSDs are Gaucher's Type 1, Fabry disease, Pompe's disease, MPS1 (Hurler Syndrome), MPS2 (Hunter Syndrome), MPS4 (Morquio syndrome) and MPS6 (Maroteaux-Lamy Syndrome). The treatment includes Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) and Bone Marrow/Cord blood transplantation.
"The difference between the US and India is that people there are aware about such disorders. There are FDA approved treatments available, but even these are temporary treatments," says Dr Priya Kishnani. "A permanent solution to this disorder is gene therapy which according to me will take at least 10 more years to become a reality," she adds.
One of the main reasons for these genetic disorders is marriage within the family. "In India a lot of communities have a culture of marriage within the family which sometimes results in the suppressed faulty genes to become active. Everyone has 3-4% of faulty genes and when cousins marry, the probability of these faulty genes becoming problematic increases," says Dr Muranjan.

Re: sailing routes from Antiqua to Galveston
While I'm not as skeptical as dacap06, I would essentially recommend along similar lines to his. The weather is nice from November through early summer as this period is outside the hurricane season. Your trip from Antigua is best done by visiting the islands on the way - starting with Barbuda (optional, but beautiful) then St. Barths, St. Martin, BVI, USVI and Puerto Rico. From there the Dominican Republic on Hispaniola might be next but then you would want to skip Haiti and might not be allowed to legally visit Cuba.
But instead of specificying an itenerary here I would recommend hiring an experienced skipper, best to have one who is also an instructor and then accompany him/her on the route. That way you would get experience plus get professional training that would cover the contents of the ASA courses listed above.
The good news is that your trip is a downhill run - you'll have the wind and the waves behind you for much of the trip.

Lesson Plan - Grade 1 Cake Decoration, Karl Muffler, William Angliss Food Trades School, 1947 Reg. No: HT 18658
- Summary:
- This is a lesson plan for cake decorating Grade 1, June, Week 2 - 'Piping excercises and simple design of a cake.' It features a hand-drawn cake decoration design. Karl Muffler taught a cake decorating class to 60 returned ex-servicemen at William Angliss Food Trades School in Melbourne from May to August, 1947, under the Commonwealth Reconstruction Scheme. Karl took groups of 15 students at a time, receiving 20 shillings per two-hour session.
This item relates to Karl Friedrich Muffler, qualified pastry chef and confectioner, born in 1900, who migrated to Melbourne from Germany in 1930, aboard the passenger liner 'Balranald'. Muffler quickly established himself in Melbourne, commencing employment with Bill Ikinger (who had recruited and sponsored him) at his cake shop in Brunswick, as well as joining the long-running German establishment 'Club Tivoli'. Muffler went on to establish his own business, 'The Embassy' in Malvern, and in 1939 married fellow German migrant Mathilde 'Hilde' Mayer. At this time they were members of the 'German Labour Front' of which Adolf Mayer (Hilde's father) was president. On 4th September, 1939 Karl Muffler, along with dozens of other German residents (including his father-in-law), was placed into police custody as an enemy alien. He was transferred to Tatura internment camp and while there undertook woodcarving and drafting classes and worked as a cake decorator. He was transferred to a Forestry Commission camp in Broadford, and finally released in 1945. With no family left in Germany he decided to stay in Australia and became naturalised in 1947. After the war, Muffler accepted a position at William Angliss Food Trades School in Melbourne teaching ex-servicemen new skills in cake decoration. He maintained a connection to the German community though Club Tivoli and died in 1996.

Court sides with Comcast in Net Neutrality appeal
FCC's authority called into question
Internet Service Provided Comcast can safely return to throttling subscribers' bandwidth as a U.S. appeals court overturned a Federal Communications Commission mandate that required that the company provide service indiscriminately to its users.
The decision itself raises some interesting questions about the FCC's authority and its role in regulating neutrality. According to the U.S. Court of Appeals' 3-0 decision, the FCC has not been expressly given the "untrammeled freedom" by Congress to regulate a provider so directly.
The FCC states that the court doesn't disagree with net neutrality or the equal treatment of subscribers and that the commission is able to pursue other means of regulation. One such immediate fix would involve simply reclassifying ISPs as common carriers, which are subject to more regulation.
That said, the decision does, at least for now, allow ISPs to set bandwidth caps, throttle peer-to-peer file sharing and treat their customers as they see fit. And the decision comes at a time when the FCC is preparing a plan that would both increase the overall speed of broadband and increase the coverage area.
What do you readers think? Is this a minor setback for the FCC? Is it the natural flow of a market-driven service? Or will the overall effect of the ruling go unnoticed? Share your comments below.
ISP throttlingThrottling based on recent volume is OK as long as this is the only criteria and it is applied to all users equally. It seems a reasonable method to provide better service for a shared resource. Throttling based on what the user is doing or what product or service is being used should not be allowed, IMO. This would make it too easy for an ISP to favor its own services over those of competitors.

Prospects for Peace in Relations Across the Taiwan Strait
LUNCH 11:30 a.m. LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
The Taiwan Strait has for decades been the most dangerous potential flashpoint in the East Asia region, the one issue that could result in conflict between the United States and China. Relations between Taiwan and Mainland China have improved markedly since the inauguration last May of Taiwan's new President, Ma Ying-jeou. But the tough political issues between the two sides have still not been addressed and Beijing recently reacted angrily when Washington approved a $6.5 billion arms sale to Taiwan. For the Obama Administration — like all its predecessors since that of Richard Nixon — the Taiwan issue will be the most sensitive aspect of Sino-U.S. relations.
Ambassador Raymond Burghardt has been a key figure in the U.S. Government's management of relations with Taiwan during much of the past ten years, first as our "de facto ambassador" in Taipei and now as head of the Washington office responsible for this very unusual "unofficial relationship." He will discuss "Prospects for Peace in Relations Across the Taiwan Strait." Ambassador Burghardt will also be prepared to draw on his extensive experience throughout East and Southeast Asia to answer questions on the broader subject of future U.S.-China and U.S.-Asia relations. He served as political counselor in Beijing, Deputy Chief of Mission in Seoul and Manila, Consul General in Shanghai, and Ambassador to Vietnam.
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies at CMC is honored to sponsor Ambassador Burghardt as a Freeman Foundation Visitor of Asian Affairs.

...it is interesting and important to think about the scale of the work that you?re doing and how it relates, in a sense, to the greater Projects that you have going on. I know that one of my major problems as a composer is that I used to feel, instinctively, that each piece had to fully represent (even in fleeting miniatures) all the aspects of my Whole Thing.
Part of this is lack of self-control that I know will come with maturity but another part of this is, I think, insecurity about mounting that tiny puppet show when there's a big city to explore "wouldn't everybody rather just get a really fast car and have a whole tour of the whole city and I'll just talk really fast and tell you everything I know about every building we pass!?!?!?!" Obviously, not so much; this sort of mania is pleasurable for about five minutes, and then it gets boring. My big goal for the last year and for the upcoming year is to really get this under control: the ability to let go of feeling the need to play audio tourguide in my own music, and allowing each piece to live in its own autonomous township within the whole country, as it were.

No, Miguel's latest feature isn't an R&B paean to the virtue of chastity. In reality, the record's title is not a rebuff but a sly come-on: "You can't sleep. I can't sleep. Let's Can't Sleep Together." On this promotional cut, released as part of the Adult Swim Singles series, an uncredited beatsmith's expansive, slow-burning synth/guitar beat sets the mood as the RCA hitmaker smooth-talks a female companion into bed. Though his vocal style here is a bit more casual than fans may be accustomed to, his talent for seduction shines through his off-the-cuff verses. This fall, Miguel will be heading out on tour with Drake and Future. Click here to learn when they'll be visiting a city near you!

competencies that enable learners to transfer what they have learned to new situations and new problems. These competencies include both knowledge in a domain and knowledge of how, why, and when to apply this knowledge to answer questions and solve problems—integrated forms of knowledge that we refer to as 21st century competencies and discuss further below.
If the goal of instruction is to prepare students to accomplish tasks or solve problems exactly like the ones addressed during instruction, then deeper learning is not needed. For example, if someone's job calls for adding lists of numbers accurately, that individual needs to learn to become proficient in using the addition procedure but does not need deeper learning about the nature of number and number theory that will allow transfer to new situations that involve the application of mathematical principles. As discussed in the previous chapter, today's technology has reduced demand for such routine skills (e.g., Autor, Levy, and Murnane, 2003). Success in work and life in the 21st century is associated with cognitive, intrapersonal, and interpersonal competencies that allow individuals to adapt effectively to changing situations rather than to rely solely on well-worn procedures.
When the goal is to prepare students to be able to be successful in solving new problems and adapting to new situations, then deeper learning is called for. Calls for such 21st century skills as innovation, creativity, and creative problem solving can also be seen as calls for deeper learning—helping students develop transferable knowledge that can be applied to solve new problems or respond effectively to new situations. Before turning to a discussion of the relationship between deeper learning and 21st century competencies in terms of theories and research on learning and knowing and the implications for transfer, we briefly discuss some of the rich history of work on the nature and extent of transfer.
Brief Historical Overview of Theory and Research on Transfer
Transfer was one of the first topics on the research agendas of both psychology and education, and it has remained as perhaps the central topic in the research on learning and instruction for more than 100 years. Research to date suggests that despite our desire for broad forms of transfer, knowledge does not transfer very readily, but it also illuminates instructional conditions that support forms of transfer that are desirable and attainable.
Specific transfer is the idea that learning A affects one's learning of B only to the extent that A and B have elements in common. For example, learning Latin may help someone learn Spanish solely because some of the vocabulary words are very similar and the verb conjugations are very similar. In contrast, general transfer is the idea that learning A affects one's learning of B because learning A strengthens general characteristics or

Houston Astros (21-32) at Kansas City Royals (24-27), 2:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Houston - Jarred Cosart (3-4, 4.39) Kansas City - Danny Duffy (2-4, 2.59)
(SportsNetwork.com) - Riding a season-high winning streak, the Houston Astros will try to sweep the Kansas City Royals for the first time in almost 13 years on Wednesday afternoon in the finale of a three-game series.
The Astros have plated 12 runs to the Royals' two in taking the first two games of this set, running their overall winning streak to four in a row. That comes on the heels of dropping four straight and last night's 3-0 win gave Houston a victory in seven of its past 11 games.
The Astros were swept in a three-game set at home by the Royals from April 15-17, but can complete their own three-game sweep in this series for the first time since July 6-8, 2001, also in Kansas City.
Collin McHugh struck out nine batters over seven scoreless innings in Tuesday night's victory, winning for the first time in his past five outings. Alex Presley went 3-for-3 at the plate with an RBI and Matt Dominguez also scored a run.
"That there is what you call an extremely well played Major League Baseball game," said Astros manager Bo Porter. "In all aspects of the game I felt like our guys understood every situation they were in tonight and did a tremendous job of executing."
Jeremy Guthrie gave up a run on seven hits over six innings to absorb the loss for the Royals, who have dropped three in a row and six of eight.
The Royals were limited to just five hits and are last in the American League with 194 runs scored. They have not homered in eight straight games.
"It's just a matter of the offense locking in," said Kansas City first baseman Eric Hosmer. "We just have to figure out a way."
Taking the mound this afternoon for the Astros will be Jarred Cosart, who turned 24 years old this past Sunday.
Three days earlier, Cosart was shooting for a third straight winning start but instead lost a 3-1 decision in Seattle. He gave up all three runs on five hits over 6 1/3 innings and also walked four batters for a second straight outing.
Still, the right-hander is 2-2 with a 2.92 earned run average in six starts since giving up seven runs and recording just one out in a loss at Oakland on April 18.
Cosart is 3-4 overall this year with a 4.39 ERA and will face the Royals for the first time.
Left-hander Danny Duffy will make his fifth start this season for Kansas City after beginning the campaign in the bullpen.
He went 1-2 and gave up three runs in his first three starts before getting roughed up on Friday in a road test against the Los Angeles Angels. Duffy was charged with five runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings of a 6-1 setback while also yielding his first two home runs of the campaign.
The 25-year-old is 2-4 with a 2.59 ERA in 10 total appearances on the season, facing the Astros in relief on April 16. Duffy picked up a victory on that day with two innings of work, striking out four.

Stargazing with Stellarium
If you like astronomy but you don't like sitting outside on cold nights, try stargazing from a virtual planetarium.
Stellarium [1] is a virtual planetarium application that simulates the night sky and shows you constellations and celestial bodies. The goal of Stellarium is to provide users with a clear, annotated view of what they would see in the night sky with eyes, binoculars, or a small telescope. Like a real planetarium, the Stellarium virtual planetarium can display a view of the sky from other locations on the Earth or other points in history. Setting Up
To use Stellarium's full feature scope, you will need to download the latest version of the program from the CVS. The cvs program, which you can install using YaST or Apt-get, is required for this. Another essential requirement is 3D drivers for your graphics adapter, as the program needs a fair amount of graphics performance. First log in to the Stellarium CVS at the command line, and press [Enter] when you are prompted for a password:
