Several months after catching criticism for selecting the school's president by secret ballot, the MUSC Board of Trustees has a repeat scheduled this week.
According to the board's August meeting agenda, members will vote by secret ballot Friday to select the board's chairman and vice chairman.
Board Chairman Tom Stephenson said the board's bylaws stipulate that votes must take place by secret ballot but that he has asked a committee to draft language for an amendment that will change that.
"I think the new chairman will be on board with this," said Stephenson, who is in his second term as chairman and can't be re-elected. "I do not expect the board to vote on anything that would be by secret ballot in the next 12 months."
Stephenson said he wasn't aware of any previous efforts to change the secret ballot measure.
"No one's cared," he said.
South Carolina's Freedom of Information Act does not prohibit public bodies, such as the MUSC Board of Trustees, to vote by secret ballot. The election itself must be held publicly, but the paper ballots only reveal the choice of candidate. And the vote must be reflected, by member, in the meeting minutes if any member requests it.
The Board of Trustees amended its bylaws in April to allow members to cast ballots for a new president by phone, which Jay Bender, media attorney for the S.C. Press Association, said he believes is illegal.
"I thought that violated the law then, and I think it violates the law now," Bender said. "There was no way to determine how anybody voted. It astonishes me that these people would take a public office and then hide their actions."
But Stephenson said the amendment was for logistical purposes.
"For years, whenever we elected a president, we voted by secret paper ballot," he said. "We got down to the end, and I said, 'Do I really want to make people drive down from Greenville and Columbia just to vote?'"
The board selected Dr. David Cole as MUSC's new president in April, with all but one board member voting confidentially over the phone.
The board cast public votes in May, ratifying its earlier vote and establishing Dr. Cole as president.
"Some in the media have questioned the legality of our vote, so I've proposed taking an open vote," Stephenson said at the time.
This comes at a time where open meetings laws are eroding. In June, the S.C. Supreme Court ruled that public bodies no longer have to publish agendas before their regular meetings and can add to the list of agenda items at any point during those meetings. A month later, the court ruled that autopsy records are exempt from release under the FOIA because they are medical records.

I recently purchase 2 of the above mentione LIPOs and a Thunder AC6 charger. I have followed the rules on breaking in a lipo. My question is that I charge the battery @ 5amp (1amp per 1000mah) and the battery will only reach 4650-4685mA. Am I doing something wrong or will these new batteries reach their full potential?
I have run the batteries in my 4x4 Slash and have run them at no more than 1/2 throttle for about 20min varying the throttle, battery is very cool, then I discharge them at 1amp to roughly 3.6v per cell with the balancing board.
Am I missing something?

New York Yankees
New York Yankees
New York Yankees Logo
- Established:
- 1903
- Affiliations:
- AAA: Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees International League, AA:Trenton Thunder Eastern League, Advanced A: Tampa Bay
- Owners:
- Yankee Global Enterprises LLC
The Yankees began to emerge as a force to be reckoned with in the American League in 1919 under the leadership of Miller Huggins. New York finished third in the junior circuit with a record of 80-59 in the "Mighty Mite's" second year as manager. By finishing 7 ½ games behind the pennant-winning Chicago White Sox, the Yankees ended the campaign closer to first place than in any other season since 1906, when they placed second in the final standings, just three games behind the White Sox. The team also fared extremely well at the turnstiles, establishing a new franchise record by drawing 619,164 fans to the Polo Grounds.
Team owner Jacob Ruppert displayed his penchant for acquiring top talent from other teams by fleecing the Boston Red Sox of two of their better players. The Red Sox, who had won four of the previous seven American League pennants, began dismantling their club at the conclusion of the 1918 campaign, and Ruppert was only too happy to take part in the fire sale. First, he traded pitcher Ray Caldwell, three lesser players, and $15,000 to Boston for star outfielder Duffy Lewis, who had spent most of his eight-year major league career playing left field for the Red Sox alongside the great Tris Speaker. In fact, Lewis did such an outstanding job of playing Fenway Park's tricky left field wall that Boston fans dubbed that section of the ballpark Duffy's Cliff (of course, it eventually came to be known as The Green Monster). A solid hitter as well, Lewis ended up batting .272 and knocking in a team-leading 89 runs for the Yankees in 1919.
Ruppert made another sagacious move when, on July 29, he traded two nondescript players and $40,000 to Boston for right-hander Carl Mays, who had won more than 20 games for the Red Sox in each of the previous two seasons. Mays compiled a record of 9-3 and an ERA of 1.65 for the Yankees over the final two months of the 1919 campaign, while completing 12 of his 13 starts.
Other key contributors to New York's pitching staff included Jack Quinn and Bob Shawkey. Quinn, who earlier pitched for the Yankees from 1909 to 1912 before being dealt to the National League's Boston Braves, returned to New York to post 15 victories, a 2.61 ERA, and 18 complete games. Shawkey returned to the Yankees from an eight-month stint in the Navy to lead the team with a record of 20-11 and 22 complete games, while also compiling an ERA of 2.72.
Frank Baker once again paced the offense, batting .293, driving in 83 runs, and leading the team with 10 home runs. He received a considerable amount of help from Roger Peckinpaugh, who had his finest offensive season-to-date. The shortstop hit seven home runs and led the team with 89 runs scored, a .305 batting average, and a .390 on-base percentage.
Interestingly, two young men who later went on to accomplish great things with other organizations graced New York's roster in 1919. An aspiring 24-year-old outfielder named George Halas played his lone big-league season, appearing in 12 games for the Yankees and coming up with only two hits in 22 times at-bat, for a batting average of just .091. Halas subsequently turned his attention to football, serving as one of the founding fathers of the National Football League, and of the Chicago Bears in particular. Also making his major league debut with the team was a 22-year-old outfielder named Lefty O'Doul. After failing first with the Yankees and, later, with the Red Sox, O'Doul resurfaced in the National League in 1928, putting together some truly exceptional years for the Philadelphia Phillies and the Brooklyn Dodgers. O'Doul had his greatest season for the Phillies in 1929, when he hit 32 home runs, knocked in 122 runs, scored 152 others, and led the National League with 254 hits, a .398 batting average, and a .465 on-base percentage. O'Doul later managed Joe DiMaggio in the Pacific Coast League.By Bob_Cohen

Just when Chipper Jones' farewell gifts couldn't get any more interesting, they did. During his latest stop in Milwaukee, the Brewers presented the Braves third baseman with a cookout kit and a year's supply of sausages. To top it all off, Ryan Braun and Craig Counsell were the ones assigned to give him the gift. "I got to play with him in the World Baseball Classic in 2009, so that was probably my most memorable Chipper experience," left fielder Ryan Braun told MLB.com. "Really getting to know him, to hang out with him, was cool. "I love Chipper. Great player,...

It's a dream of a high school football athlete to be able to play in a college stadium.
The Starkville Yellowjackets get to do it twice in the same year.
There have been some major accomplishments in the past year for Starkville High athletics.
SHS athletic director Stan Miller also is excited about the future.
Miller and the Yellowjackets are focused on the move up to Class 6A, then there is the addition of several new coaches as well as the bringing in of a completely new sport.
The projection for former Mississippi State baseball player Hunter Renfroe to make the major leagues will be by 2015.
If he continues on the pace that he's shown to begin his professional career, don't expect it to be that long.
Renfroe has gotten off to a good start for the Eugene Emeralds in the San Diego Padres' organization. In his first two games, he has gotten four hits in seven at-bats.
Jarrod Parks told himself that he was never going to coach, unless the right offer came along.Â
The former Mississippi State Bulldog was released by the Los Angeles Angels organization last September. He returned to his hometown, Madison, where several coaching offers presented themselves.
The United States Golf Association, the Masters Tournament Foundation and the Professional Golf Association of America have found a way to give young kids an opportunity to compete on the golf course.
It was announced this year during the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club that the three entities were going to be sponsoring the Drive Chip & Putt Championship.
It has been a busy summer for Starkville High School girls basketball player Blair Schaefer.
After winning the free-throw shooting contest and scoring 17 points for the North All-Stars in the Mississippi Association of Coaches All-Star Game in Clinton on Monday, she turned her attention back to the Amateur Athletic Union Nationals in Orlando, Fla. at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
East Mississippi Community College has a new face standing on the football sidelines this season.
A former Starkville Academy standout, Webb Hamilton has been hired to oversee the Lion's linebackers as well as serving as the staff's video coordinator.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) The trial of an Iowa City woman charged with vehicular homicide has been pushed back for a sixth time.
The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports 51-year-old Miranda Lalla's trial has been pushed back to October. It was scheduled to begin this week.
Lalla is accused of hitting 44-year-old Pamela Gross with her pickup truck in June 2012. Lalla is accused of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident. Investigators say the women, who were friends, got into a physical fight in a parking lot.
A message left for Lalla's attorney was not immediately returned Thursday.

Re: Official Flight Simulator X Thread
As you can imagine people often ask this question. And I find it difficult to answer. Im sure that Microsoft guys have taken all the necessary data in the consideration, like stall speeds in all configurations, climb rates at various altitudes and on and on And really Cessna is flying pretty much like that in general. But still to me for example, taking off on a hot humid summer day with full tanks and 4 heavy people or in calm winter day and light is in reality more noticeable different.
Also something else, when a friend was showing off lending Cessna in windy conditions and saying that it is so easy I said to him, well, firstly a minute ago in that maneuver you would firstly throw up, on next maneuver you would probably blackout and by then you would surely panic and then crash
Ok, its not THAT horrible but there are a few things that will never be in the simulator: scary (or cool) factor, forces in the plane, view, need of conversation and looking out for other traffic, since you wont be able to restart the game.
All that influences on you directly and how you fly.
Landing in the 15m parking lot? Never.

|FlingSmash has players control either Zip or Pip, some adorably cute round creatures who have been tasked with saving their island, Suthon, from an evil invader, Omminus, and his minions. The game is a side-scroller (although it does occasionally go to a vertical-scroller) without the ability to move backwards, which is essentially the only real complication in the game – in order to win levels you need to collect pearls, but once the opportunity to get a pearl has past, it's gone....read the full review
Customer Reviews of FlingSmash with Wii Remote Plus (Black)
Great value, fun game included!9/20/2011
This bundle includes a Wii Motion Plus controller inside which means it has the advanced "motion plus" built right into it! I prefer this so you can retain the smaller size of the wii controller but still have advanced functions. The included game is a lot of fun and showcases what the "motion plus" is all about. It gives you true 1:1 movement which you'll notice right away. Overall this is a great value!

They were the top two picks by the Falcons this year and they're already getting to know each other. Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford took the field at minicamp Saturday for the first time together, but it won't be the last.
They met at the Senior Bowl, but it was off the field, not during this play when they found themselves going head-to-head.
Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford will always be linked in the history of the Falcons. They were the top two picks in the 2013 draft, Trufant going in the first round and Alford in the second. They're both cornerbacks. They're both fast and they're both playmakers. Now they're teammates and joined at the hip may be an extreme description, but they're close.
"We built camaraderie at the Senior Bowl and we're staying together right now so we've been linked up," Alford said Saturday. "We're here to compete for the Falcons, do what we've been doing and do what we can to help this team get to the Super Bowl."

Trufant had a similar story on Alford when he stood in front of the media. He said the two are learning together in the process and it's a cool experience to go through it with someone he knows and shares a position with.
Many Falcons fans imagine a day when their defense is led by two lock-down corners taking away two portions of the field, the kind of roles Trufant and Alford can potentially fill in Atlanta, but for now, one day into their first rookie minicamp, they'll settle for the smallest learning curve possible.
Trufant said he felt the coaching staff made things easy for him and it wasn't long before he felt natural on the field. Alford said the pro playbook is bigger than what he was used to at Southeast Louisiana, but that shouldn't pose a problem.
Both players want to begin their careers in Atlanta on the field, playing meaningful snaps for the NFC South champs, but they know competition is strong. Already on the roster for the Falcons are Asante Samuel and Robert McClain, returning starters from last season, Dominique Franks and Terrence Johnson and Peyton Thompson, a practice squad member from last season. The Falcons also have three college free agents and tryout players in camp at cornerback: Momo Thomas, Saeed Lee and Kelly Dawsey.
One of the ways to impress at corner and win a job will be showing they can handle playing tall and physical receivers in the NFL. The Falcons offer a great lesson in that for Trufant and Alford since they field two of the league's best in Roddy White and Julio Jones. Practicing against those two, according to Trufant, will only make them better.
"You're' going against the best in the world," Trufant said. "We've got two of the best here on our team. I'm looking forward to going against the best receivers. I'm a competitor and I just want to compete against the best."

I don't believe there are any 'official' ways as off yet, the platform is so young things like this are still being worked on.
I am currently working on SQLite for UTouch and a "SimpleStore" for more basic things like JSON objects and strings etc.
Short answer, no, not yet.

I played with pinhole photography for a couple of years and can only say that it really is a lot of fun. I never cease to be amazed that so simple a contraption, made with a reasonable amount of care, can produce such amazing results, and so cheaply!
I have a couple of ancient, slightly warped 11x14" film holders a friend gave me a few years ago. Some day they will be put back to use in a pinhole camera. Should be tons of fun!

45 year old man | Culver City, CA, USA | Seeking women 30-40 in United States
Hi there!
Hello and thanks for stopping by my profile, First off here is a little bit about me: I was born and raised right here in Los Angeles (now how rare is that). I have a love/hate relationship with our city – half of me wants to get the heck out of here but the other half likes to be near family and friends in the city I have always called home (and yes, I'm spoiled by the weather too). A few more things about me in no particular order: I like walking and cycling. I'm handy and I always have at least one household or automotive project going (I like to keep things clean and in good repair). I like to stay up late - I'm reeeeally not a morning person which I've found to be annoyingly out of sync with the rest of the world! I like to be active and I love to travel when I can (yea, I know, who doesn't?) but I do enjoy quality time at home too. I'm looking for is a girl who wants a relationship, someone who's goal is to find a partner in crime (just about everything is more enjoyable if you have someone to share it with, no?). She should be genuine and down to earth - someone who is not into games and can just be herself. She should be warm/affectionate and, of course, trustworthy. Beyond that I look for someone I click with/I relate to/our personalities and goals are compatible. If you like to laugh and have a fun/goofy side all the better! Take care, Mike

Doretta Royer 315 464-4833
Anthony Andrews, M.D., joins University Center for Vision Care at SUNY Upstate
Anthony Andrews, M.D., a board certified ophthalmologist, has joined SUNY Upstate Medical University as chief of the retina division and an assistant professor of ophthalmology. Andrews will practice at SUNY Upstate's University Center for Vision Care, specializing in complete retinal care and surgery. His area of expertise includes all accepted laser procedures for diabetes and age-related macular degeneration.
Prior to joining SUNY Upstate, Andrews was chief of the retina department at SUNY Downstate at Brooklyn, an assistant professor of ophthalmology and director of SUNY Downstate's Retinal-Vascular Center. He was the first retina surgeon in Brooklyn to perform sutureless vitrectomy surgery. At one point, he was responsible for all of the retina surgery at four Brooklyn hospitals, including SUNY Downstate—one of the top five institutions in the country for vitrectomies to correct scarring and deposits of fibrous material caused by diabetes mellitus.
A resident of Manlius, Andrews earned a bachelor's degree magna cum laude from Yale University in 1989 and his medical degree from Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1993. He completed a two-year medical and surgical vitreoretinal fellowship in 1999 at Harvard University, the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and the Schepens Retina Associates.

This sound bar provides everything we were looking for. It's attractive. Easy to connect. The sound is terrific. We especially like that it keeps the sound at an even level during movies and commercials and that it syncs with our Sony TV remote. Just as described. Great product at a reasonable price.

Yamaha YS-103 sound bar Pros: It has a nice clear sound with just about right amount of base for my small condo living room where I have neighbors up and down.I have a loud sound system next to it but I use this sound bar most of time time now.Cons: It wasn't sound great right out of the box. It needs an adjustment to get the sound right to your ear.

I did considerable research on an appropriate sound system via Magazine reviews and retailer recommendations before deciding to purchase this item.My expectations were all met and I found the description by Yamaha to be totally accurate.Setup was simple and instructions very easy to follow

Excellent value for the sound quality
By WVME
from Portland, Maine
Very easy to hook up with included optical cable. I especially like the blue tooth steaming feature that I can use to stream music from my i-tune collection on my mobile devices. The surround sound feature is really not that great and if you want true surround sound you need to invest in a front and back + large subwoofer speakers. However, overall the Yamaha sound bar 103 is a god value.
Very good soundbar
By RajC
from New Jersey
This is a very good sound bar with excellent sound quality. It is very easy to set up and use. Great app to control the bar from iPhone. Bass for the size of the bar is pretty OK, but would be great to get a little more bass. That's the only reason for 4 stars.
Very Happy With It
By Brock
from Arlington, VA
I use this in my bedroom, but the sound is great for any room, for music, tv and movies. I like that my cable remote can be easily programmed to turn the tv and soundbar on at the same time.

I am a Physics undergrad, who is considering the prospects of changing to maths. I was wondering if there is research going on in pure abstract algebra nowadays. I am aware of the fields algebraic number theory, and algebraic geometry which applies algebra, but is there research going on in some specific areas of abstract algebra.

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
These guys and these guys and these guys seem to think there's still stuff to talk about in algebra. Your university library will probably have the latest editions of them on file. If you want to get a feel for the stuff that's going on right at this second, check those out - even if you don't understand what the articles are about, it's nice to get a glimpse of the buzzwords and general subject matter going on right now. There's also this for reading material, which is even more accessible. You can pick out the algebraic stuff from the list of topics.
To my knowledge the hottest pure algebra topic right now the Langlands program, as mentioned in the comments. Quantum groups and cryptography are applied algebra topics that attract tons of funding (I would take "applied" with a grain of salt here... much of both these topics is as abstract as you would find anywhere else in algebra). There is research happening in just about everything, though.
Certainly! I hesitate to draw a well-defined line between 'pure algebra' and 'applications of algebra', but I think these fields can be considered 'pure': commutative algebra, noncommutative ring theory, finite group theory, semigroups, Lie algebras, vertex algebras, universal algebra, category theory, and of course representation theory...
To summarize: there is lots of research in algebra going on. Lots.

This review is from: Environmental Cancer-A Political Disease? (Hardcover)
As a scientist, I am perturbed by a growing trend of non-scientists trying to interpret what the scientific community says and means by what it says. This book is in a growing list of politically slanted and completely unfounded bull$%&* that is plaguing the shelves of Barnes and Noble and other bookstores. These fine nonscientists want us to believe that the environmental community is using scare tactics to achieve political ends. My question for the conservative right wing who floats this thinly veiled propaganda is this. To what end? There is no money to be made as environmentalists. All environmentalists want is clean air and clean water for everyone. To bash them for trying to alleviate public suffering at the hands of cancer and other diseases which have become the top killers in the developed world for your own political means, well, I hope you like hell. As for the quality of the authors, Rothman and co, do us a favor. If you don't have any idea what you're writing about, don't write. Ever.

This review is from: Environmental Cancer�A Political Disease? (Paperback)
This is a good book to be criticized. To understand what Lichter and Rothman wrote, I need to read this book sentence by sentence. If you read this book, DO NOT forget to read the footnote, because without reading the footnote you could misinterpret the content of this book. Their writing styles will make you need a special time to read this book.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 3/8/13
They all can't throw like Matt Harvey this time of spring. Overpowering and arguably flawless in yesterday's start against Miami, Harvey had one of those seamless starts pitchers rarely have in their third spring training game. Dillon Gee, today's starter against Detroit in Lakeland, has no such illusions. "My mechanics are off,'' Gee said. "It will be just my third start of the spring, so they are bound to be off. Spring training is for trying to figure out that kind of stuff.'' Gee insists it is not an injury-related mechanical problem, but a matter of working off the rust that is a natural occurrence this time of year. It's part of the process of getting ready to make 30 stars a summer. "It's all about location,'' said Gee as he laced up his shoes while sitting at his locker yesterday afternoon. "Location is all about repetition early in spring training. I'm trying to refine everything.'' As it is with Harvey and Jon Niese, Gee said mastering his change-up is the pitch

Kim Kardashian's Car Is Nearly Hit By a Paparazzo She Probably Called Herself
Kim Kardashian was livid last night after a close encounter with paparazzi, taking to Twitter to vent her frustration.
Kim Kardashian was livid last night after a close encounter with paparazzi, taking to Twitter to vent her frustration.
Ray J, the sometime singer/Brandy's brother/that guy who made a sex tape with Kim Kardashian now has a music video out to accompany his newest single 'I Hit It First.'
And to further prove that his song is definitely not about Kim Kardashian (even though it totally is), he cast her doppelganger in the video. Logic!
Kanye West is a huge grab for 'Saturday Night Live,' but the show is notorious for skewering his future baby mama, Kim Kardashian. They were scared of making him angry with their parodies, but still wanted to see if he'd participate in some sketches.
A compromise? Having Kardashian appear with him on the show!
If you are feeling disillusioned with notions of romance, look no further than Kanye West and Kim Kardashian - even though they barely see each other.
Despite Kim Kardashian's divorce deposition admitting she hardly sees Kanye West, don't be fooled into thinking he's a deadbeat future-baby daddy.
Yeezy's actually been spending serious dough -- more than most of us make in a year -- just to be with Kardashian for her doctor's appointments for their imminent Kimye spawn.
The Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries divorce / annulment fustercluck is raging on. Last time we checked in, Kris missed their settlement hearing because that stuff is super hard to keep track of.
Now news breaks of a deposition given by Kim, where she admits to being apart from boyfriend and baby daddy Kanye West more often than not.
When Kim Kardashian and her sisters took over Chelsea Handler's late night talk show 'Chelsea Lately' on Monday night, they made some interesting comments about Amanda Bynes' recent antics -- comments that her parents didn't care for at all.
Ray J wants to remind the world, he 'hit it first.'
Rumors are swirling that the two may have split! Oh the humanity! So far there is no official statement but here's what we've heard.
The reviews are in for Tyler Perry's new 'Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor,' and despite only having a supporting role, Kim Kardashian did not manage to tempt critics into giving the film positive marks.

Measuring techniques?
I've been doodling here and there since I was a little kid, but I don't think I've ever really picked up the necessary basics to grow as an artist.
If I look at a 2D picture, or even 3D objects; I CAN hammer out a likeness of the object(s) (sorta...), if I wear an eraser down to the nub and keep course-correcting my lines until things fall right on the page. But this doesn't seem efficient, and it makes the activity more frustrating than it should be, I imagine.
But basically: I've only been taking in to consideration the measurements of objects fairly recently. I've tried the pencil method, which is doesn't work for the way I do things. I tend to laze about a lot when drawing, and I can't really sit straight in a chair for very long or else my back starts to ache like a bitch.
I'm never really in a position where extending my arm to it's full extent is the best way to do it; and even when I am, I'm never at the distance I'd like to be from an object to fit the scale of my pencil. Whether I want to draw the object larger or smaller, it's just a hassle. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
I've been experimenting with laying down a single object (only works if I'm drawing multiple things), and basing everything off that. (E.G. This bureau is 4 vases wide and 5 vases tall)
I don't know, I need to find something that works for me and the way I draw and easy enough to understand without causing my brain to blow a circuit. Any ideas?

Really interesting topic, something I'd like explained by some of those mentors and instructors that lurk throughout the forums. I'm neither, but I've had some interesting discussions about this sort of thing, so here's a few thoughts of mine...
The school of thought that I lean towards is that we all identify distance in certain ways. Basically, (as I understood it) some of us look at a scene and relate objects to a major point within that scene. For instance, an intersection... we see the big yellow bus, and equate all other information based on how it relates to that bus. So in a split second, you see lady walking away from, bicycle opposite of, building behind, street under, etc. So when we try to recreate these scenes on paper or canvas, we are best served by starting with the bus and relating the rest to that focal point.
Another type involves those who see a scene and relate objects as they work together. The relational minded. The lady and the bus. The building and the street. Usually there is something between these items that 'make sense' and allow us to group them together. We then relate those groups to each other. Parsing out individuals is difficult.
Last, those lucky few that view the scene and can relate all items to each other. These are the types that draw a brick in the building, a cobble on the street and the lady's purse and then continue building and it all fits somehow. These types are rare.
Now, that's the theory, and likely based on little more than the hunches of my drinkin buddies and me... of course we all span the gamut and do a little of each, some more than others, etc. My thought is that if you pick a small scene, something you can outline in a few minutes, then try each method, you'll get an idea of what comes easiest to you. What feels natural and produces the best end result.
Draw your entertainment center (you lounge lizard you). Start with the tv and build out from there, doing your best to keep everything spatially accurate. Next, pick a different small scene, the coffee table or something, and draw everything that is horizontal first, or group similar things based solely on your gut instinct. See how it feels and produces. Last, try working all over the page, moving to different subjects and back again. Best guess the distance.
Try each method a few times. See what's comfortable. This should help you define the loose, drafting method that best suits you.
After you get that down, when you're ready to move on to details and realism... grid it out or thumb your pencil. At that point, perfection is as difficult or easy as you want it to be.
Hope it helps... sorry for the ramble. Also hope some of the more 'studied' artists chime in. I'm really just tossing some thoughts your way... lol. Best of luck.

i have a problem similar to this. i can draw things but putting it all together it gets lost.for example the human anatomy..ill draw the head and it will be to small for the body or one arm will be to long compared to the other.basically i can draw individual parts but when it comes to putting them together as one it gets messy.

On the Organizer Library we have the list of Provisioning Profiles. Here I have a my enterprise distribution profile that is about to expire (2 days) And it has a button that says "Renew" next to it. When I click on the button, I get the next Error Message:
The given provisioning profile has no associated devices and cannot be renewed. Please add devices to your provisioning profile before attempting to renew "enterprise", or create a new provisioning profile.
I have tried to add random devices to the profile by right clicking on them and selecting "Add Device to Provisional Portal", but it doesn't seem to work. It just adds the device on the Developer iOS Provisioning Portal Devices list. But the profile associated to this device its not my distribution profile, it's one called:
iOS Team Provisioning Profile:* Xcode: iOS Wildcard AppID
And I cannot modify it through the ADP to change the profile. But I don't think that is the answer. Now, the thing is that I have about 1 thousand users and I would prefer not to create a new profile to recompile my apps and then ask them to download them again.
Is there a way I can renew this profile without all the pain?

Computex 2008: ASUS Demos notebook with built-in projector
Subject: Mobile | June 5, 2008 - 12:10 AM | Ryan Shrout
While touring the ASUS booth this morning I noticed a notebook on display that didn't have a name attached to it or a PR person assigned to guard it. It was big, it looked new and at first glace had no outstanding features. But there was one VERY interesting little addition seen upon further review...
When it rains, it pours
ASUS has made a name for itself with everyday consumers with the Eee PC line of mini-notebooks. Now that competition is circling in from just about everyone else in the industry, ASUS is updating their product line with two new models.
A laptop, or a miniature HTPC?

Acer's Aspire 6920G is really into multimedia, both making it look good, and making it easy to view. It has a 16" screen, at 1366x768 resolution (aka 16:9) and a 'CineDash' a touch sensitive section of the keyboard to make playing movies easy as well as full 5.1 sound. It is a choice for those looking not for the lightest or the most powerful, but for those wanting to watch a few movies while they are on the go.

A 13", 1440x900 screen, Intel C2D SL7100 and 1GB PC2-5300 DDR2 give it some nice power, but the real bonus is that Lenovo managed to get an ultra slim DVD burner in it. Check out the Air's arch-nemesis at TweakTown.
ASUS Eee PC In the Wild - Adoption higher than we thought
Subject: Mobile | May 20, 2008 - 06:33 PM | Ryan Shrout
This was interesting - while I was out at the mall today I noticed in the local Cincinnati Bell store (local land line and cell phone provider) was demonstrating their in-home wireless networking with the ASUS Eee PC as the client machines. The setup was meant to show how much faster Cincinnati Bell's DSL service was compared to other options, and they in fact had both a black and a white Eee PC model:

In what has to be one of the most fun to do reviews ever, Slashdot has linked to a durability test of three ruggedized notebooks. All three are 810F-compliant systems, one each from General Dynamics Itronix, Getac and Panasonic, which get frozen, broiled and drowned, among other things. Check the videos by following the link.
ASUS Eee PC 901 no longer getting WiMax
Subject: Mobile | May 19, 2008 - 12:48 AM | Ryan Shrout
This seems more to be a blow towards WiMax than anything else, but according to this report the upcoming Atom-based ASUS Eee PC 901 machine will no longer come with WiMax support built-in but will instead be an option only for contract customers.
Intel's Atom in upcoming ASUS Eee PC 901
Subject: Mobile | May 15, 2008 - 12:13 PM | Ryan Shrout
Even though its only an exterior image, apparently the new Eee PC 901 is being showcased as using the Intel Atom processor and platform. The exterior is slightly modified and spiffed up but don't expect too much.

Yubico has created a small utility that can secure access to a Windows computer when used in conjunction with a YubiKey. When properly configured, both the user's password and YubiKey are required to gain access to the account. When using this tool it is highly recommended to configure a second, back-up YubiKey at the same time in the event access to the primary YubiKey is lost.
This guide will show you how to enable a YubiKey to protect your Windows Login. To do so, you will need the following:
- A local (non-cloud or domain) account on Windows 7 or 8 (32-bit or 64-bit)
- YubiKey Hardware with firmware 2.2 or later. Should you wish to make a back-up YubiKey (highly recommended), please have another YubiKey available.
- The YubiKey needs to be configured with our Personalization Tools for HMAC-SHA1 challenge-response with variable input in slot 2.
- For optimal user experience, we recommend to not have "button press" configured for challenge-response. If button press is configured, please note you will have to press the YubiKey twice when logging in.
How to enable YubiKey Windows Login
Please note: You need to have administrator privileges to be able to install and you need to reboot your computer after the installation.
For Step-by-Step instructions, including how to configure your YubiKey in HMAC-SHA1 mode, please download the Yubico Windows Login Guide [PDF].
1. Click here to download the YubiKey Logon installation file.
The installation is the same for both Windows 7 & Windows 8 32 bit and 64 bit editions.
2. Open the installation file and click "Install".
Please note: What needs to be downloaded will be marked.
3. Press "Yes" in the User Account Control window.
4. Follow the setup wizard.
5. Launch the YubiKey Logon Administration, that can be accessed from the start menu.
You will find it under the folder Yubico → YubiKey Logon → YubiKey Logon Administration.
6. Press "Yes" in the User Account Control window.
7. Press "Yes" to enable YubiKey logon for your computer.
8. Choose to reboot now or after associating the YubiKey with a user.
9. Select user to configure in the drop down menu in the YubiKey Logon Administration window.
10. If not already done so, please insert your YubiKey in the computer via a USB port.
11. Press configure.
12. Press "Yes" to enable the YubiKey Logon for the chosen user.
13. Optional: click test to do a test with the YubiKey.
14. If not already done so, reboot your computer.
15. Log on to Windows with the YubiKey inserted in a free USB port.
Please note: Enter your ordinary password and not an OTP from the YubiKey in the password field. The YubiKey challenge-response will take place without any user interaction.
Provide your feedback!
We want every Yubico Product to reflect our dedication to ease-of-use and reliability. We welcome any user feedback regarding issues, improvements or general comments. Please add your suggestions, feedback and questions at our forum.

It debuted in 1985, and aired on broadcast television as a SaturdayMorningCartoon. It is also their shortest running series of TheEighties, at 13 episodes, though it went into reruns for quite a while.Like many other shows of the 1980s, it had a plush line (which it [[strike: may have been]] was designed to sell) and each stuffed animal character came with a picture book that helped set up the world of the series.It was a fun little cartoon and toy line that followed the great tradition of [[TheEighties 80's]] cartoons and toys: It was colorful, had kind of a sci-fi/fantasy theme, and [[DerangedAnimation made you wonder what kinds of legal or illegal drugs the people who came up with it were taking at the time]].All of the main characters were MixAndMatchCritters:* Bumblelion (bumblebee/lion)* Hoppopotamus (hippo/rabbit)* Eleroo (elephant/kangaroo)* Butterbear (butterfly/bear)* Moosel (moose/seal)* Rhinokey (rhino/monkey)* Tycoon (tiger/raccoon... but really, part raccoon with tiger stripes, part DonaldTrump)* Crock (crocodile/bear or crocodile/tyrannosaurus... maybe? [see below])* Brat (boar/rat... but more honestly Taz/Enough features from other random animals that he isn't a total copyright infringement)* Flizard (frog/lizard... with a few monkey parts?)The plush line actually outlived the cartoon, and [[http://ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_Wuzzles_Plush.htm involved several more characters who never got a chance to appear in the cartoon]]. Additionally, a few episodes of the television show were given theatrical runs in Europe, acting as animated shorts before Disney films.----!!This show has examples of:* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Said MixAndMatchCritters are often bright shades of nonsense, such as purple or pink.* AnimalGenderBender with a sometimes ViewerGenderConfusion chaser: Eleroo, who is a male, and has a pouch.* AppropriateAnimalAttire: Though the main characters were naked most of the time, they would occasionally wear clothes.* ArbitrarySkepticism: One episode revolves entirely around the rest of the gang mocking Moosel for being afraid of monsters. This is after it's been established that things like [[GiantSwimmer Sharkasaurus]] (half Great White Shark, half TyrannosaurusRex) exist.* BigEater: Eleroo and Hoppopotamus.* BrokenAesop / MoralDissonance: [[http://www.scary-crayon.com/spectare/wuzzles1x03/ Surprisingly, a lot of it.]]* CarryingACake: Subverted in the episode discussed in the above link.* DinosaursAreDragons: Oh yeah. WordOfGod is annoyingly inconsistent as to whether Crock is half-crocodile, half-dragon or half-crocodile, half-tyrannosaur... or if he's a hybrid at all! Further, all the monsters Moosel lives in fear of are named [something]-saurus.* FatAndSkinny: Hoppopotamus and Butterbear.* FatComicRelief: Hoppopotamus. Also Eleroo to a lesser extent.* HarmlessVillain: Crock. * HollywoodDensity: Sometimes Hoppo would be heavier than usual when a joke called for it. At least once, she made the ground shake just by walking. Let's just say that [[ValuesDissonance watching the series now]], it is ''jarring'' how many jokes against fat girls there are.* {{Jerkass}}: All the characters had their jerkass moments, but none more so than Rhinokey.* LemonyNarrator: The narrator of each episode, he comes off to having a lot of personality.* LoveTriangle: Hoppopotomus is infatuated with Bumblelion, who is head over heels for Butterbear, who isn't really interested in anyone.* MerchandiseDriven* MixAndMatchCritters: The entire cast and the core concept. In fact, this isn't limited to just the creatures -- the gadgets they use and food products they eat all seem to be odd combinations, some of which make no sense at all (such as a pedal bicycle with pogo stick springs instead of wheels -- what do the pedals even do?)* NoFourthWall / MediumAwareness: In the course of thirteen episodes, Freberg manage to address the audience or the presence of the show every single time.* OffModel: Ye Gods. Some examples can be seen [[http://babbletrish.blogspot.com/2009/07/re-wuzzle-wings.html here]].* TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Pretty hard to miss this one. All three of the recurring villains are at least part reptilian (including Brat, despite his name suggesting a wholly mammalian combination), in stark contrast with the main cast, who are all predominantly mammals with the occasional cute bug mixed in.* SaturdayMorningCartoon* SoapPunishment: Crock threatens to do this to Flizard for saying that he's hungry enough to go work for food.* TalkingAnimal: The Wuzzles themselves.* UnrequitedLove: Hoppopotamus/Bumblelion.* WingsDoNothing: Discussed [[http://babbletrish.blogspot.com/2009/07/re-wuzzle-wings.html here]]. All the main Wuzzles have little fairy wings that do nothing aside from flapping rapidly when they are excited. ** Only Butterbear and occasionally Bumblelion can use them to hover, but they're part insect anyway, so they at least have that excuse* EarWorm: the theme song----

It's not clear if the findings are applicable to the United States, but Hyde said the results are similar to those from other Western countries.
Lindau, lead author of the 2007 NEJM study of seniors and sexuality, said this kind of research helps shine a light on a valuable and often-overlooked side of life for many older people.
"We know that sexual activity is associated with good physical and mental health. Whether good sex promotes good health or vice versa is still a good question," she said. "But if we fail to recognize older adults as having sexual lives, then we fail to engage them on the topic, reinforce positive sexual experiences or help them address sexual problems when they arise."

There's more on sexual health at the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

As you know every month the Club Nintendo downloadable rewards change. This month we have Super Mario 64 for 200 coins and Super Metroid for 150 coins. Of course these are for the Wii virtual console, but given that the virtual console release for the Wii U is expected soon, these could be added as Wii U purchases. Nintendo has still not announced an official release date for the Virtual Console, so that's speculation on my part.
The other two rewards available are for the 3DS and include Kirby's Pinball Land and 3D Classics: Urban Champion for 150 coins. The Wii deals are certainly the better use of coin in my opinion, but what do you guys think? Here's to hoping we'll see the Virtual Console for Wii U soon!

Oklahoma football: Source says David King's status for TCU remains unclear
Jones became the first play in major-college history with four seasons of at least 3,000 passing yards and 26 touchdowns.
OU junior receiver Jalen Saunders, who finished with 10 catches, 162 yards and two total touchdowns against Oklahoma State:
"This is the second time I've ever played in an overtime game. The first time was in Pop Warner; we lost that game, so I was really upset about it. This time, I was happy at the end of the game."

|View Poll Results: When did your water break?
|Did your water break before labor?
|Did it break while you were in active labor?
|Did your OB/ MW break your water late in labor?
|Or was your baby born with your bag of water intact?
|Voters: 189. You may not vote on this poll
|Thread Tools
Feel free to include any stories/ details or info on subsequent pregnancies.
First baby, water broke spontaneously as I entered active labor after a really long early labor.
Second baby, water broke spontaneously as I entered pushing then another layer of sac broke during pushing stage.
Not enough options on the poll! My water broke during second stage with all three of my births (it broke as soon as pushing got serious, which was anywhere from an hour and a half before birth to 5 minutes before birth). With my waterbirths it broke in the tub, which was great - no mess!
Kelly (28), in love with husband Jason (38) and our awesome babies: Emma 4/09, and Ozzy 8/10
with dd2, it broke spontaneously less than an hour before she was born.
With the first two, the comment was made that the bag was very strong/hard to rupture.
My family: me , dh , ds (11), dd1 (9), and dd2 (3).
Tout va s'arranger à la fin. Si elle ne fonctionne pas; ce n'est pas la fin.
dd2 water broke about 3 hours into labor~ about 6 hours before her birth
I've dreamt this ds will be born in the caul (water/sac intact) we shall see
Midnight I woke up thinking I'd wet the bed...No, that's a lie. I knew what had happened because I hadn't had a problem with incontinence to that point. I pushed DS out 7 hours later
So, my water breaking STARTED my labor...it was the same with my mom
With my second it broke 1 week before he was born! It was a small, high up, tear. Not a typical situation. I still had a huge gush when the bag broke at some point well into active labor.
One happy momma to a very spirited little girl , her tough little brother , and a happy little suprise late April 2012 . Wife to an overworked and under paid husband .
I slept all night and went into the hopsital the next morning around 11am (per midwife's (CNM) instructions) but was still not in labor. (SATURDAY)
Given that pill thing on the cervix to get labor started...didn't work for hours and hours. Finally started having crazy irregular contrx that night (probably starting around 7pm) (SATURDAY NIGHT)
By 4am (SUNDAY MORNING) was put on pitocin (and I asked for an epidural at that point from both pain and mostly exhaustion). I slept til 6am (SUNDAY MORNING) and pushed for almost FOUR hours. DS was born 12:14pm (SUNDAY AFTERNOON).
I hope to god that next time my water DOES.NOT.BREAK until I am actually IN labor! Because I may have been able to avoid the pitocin/epi etc.
I'd gone to my 38 week appt and she said, "See you next week."
Midnight I woke up thinking I'd wet the bed...No, that's a lie. I knew what had happened because I hadn't had a problem with incontinence to that point. I pushed DS out 7 hours later
So, my water breaking STARTED my labor...it was the same with my mom

I think it was one of the reasons why my labor was so easy.
Jen, journalist, policy wonk, and formerly a proud single mama to my sweet little man Cyrus, born at home Dec. 2007 . Now married to my Incredibly Nice Guy and new mama to baby Arthur.
Lisa married to B WAHM to C (08.09)
SAHM to DS (11/09) with a little girl coming in October
Is it considered rare for water to break before labor begins?
Mama to 10 babies in Heaven
There was no pushing on my part. My body heaved him out. It was intense and forceful. My labor was only 15 minutes. I went from 6 cm, 80% effaced (with swollen cervix) and -2 station to birth in 4-5 back to back contractions (coming about every 10-15 seconds). It was crazy.
Aeona - married to super hot nerd Toby . . . mama to Grace (10) Evangeline (8) Duncan 11.14.08 , Henry (5) born at home and Ruby, 11.27.14.
ETA: that's with the babe who was just born. For DD1, my mw broke the sac sometime during late active labor.

2012 Decluttering challenge - 575/2012
I've dreamt this ds will be born in the caul (water/sac intact) we shall see
With ds, my water broke about two hours before contractions begin, and four hours before birth. With dd1, water broke and after no contractions for 7 hours, they put me on the pit (I was not clued in at all). I had her 15.5 hours after my water initially broke. With dd2, my water started to trickle a bit a few hours after I had a bloody show. My OB broke it when I went in as it was "bulging" again I was clueless. I had her 20 minutes after they broke the bag. We'll see what happens this time around but it will not involve any artifical breaking of my waters
Mama to Umberto 12, Camille, 9, Piper 7, Rowena 2, and Jude Therese Prenatal DS diagnosis due December 23.

For the third quarter of 2008, the Company had an Adjusted EBITDA loss, adjusted for stock-based compensation, deferred revenue recognized and the accounting impact of the private equity financing recorded as other income (expense), of $7.3 million, compared to a loss of $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2008, and a loss of $13.8 million in the third quarter of 2007 (see the exhibits for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure).
Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2008 were $32.9 million. The Company believes based on current projections that it has the required resources to fund projected operating requirements, which assumes that it is able to restructure the repayment schedule on its GE credit facility.
As of the end of the third quarter of 2008, NxStage had increased the number of centers with greater than 10 patients to a total of 76, representing a 13% increase when compared with the second quarter of 2008 and a 61% increase when compared with the third quarter of 2007.
"This has been a strong quarter for NxStage, and we are pleased to see our strategic initiatives continue to drive meaningful progress and greater operating efficiency quarter over quarter in all three of our markets," stated Jeffrey H. Burbank, President and Chief Executive Officer of NxStage Medical. "Based on my regular interactions with patients, providers and payors, there is no question in my mind that our products effectively address the needs of dialysis providers in each of the home, critical care and in-center markets."
