Friday's pro forma session got just a tad bit spicy after a few Senate amendments brought up by Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., passed under unanimous consent.
The amendments, one from Sen. Olympia Snowe dealing with military driver's licenses, and Sen. Daniel Akaka's Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act, didn't face any opposition. But the only other members on the floor, Democratic Reps. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and Henry Waxman of California, weren't about to let that be the end of it. They continued Democratic drumbeat that began at Tuesday's pro forma session, when Rep. Donna Edwards blasted Republicans for going into recess after eight legislative days and with a heavy load of bills not yet passed.
"I do believe that we should adopt this measure," Van Hollen said of the whistleblower act. "I also believe that the House should reconvene to conduct the other business in the House."
Waxman pushed Speaker Pro Tempore John Culberson of Texas to take up a laundry list of items, including the Violence Against Women Act, and asked whether "we can take up legislation on jobs and to avoid the fiscal cliff since we're taking up other items?"
Culberson pretty much shut him down, saying that such requests were at the discretion of the chair, and then gaveled out.
Before heading to recess, House Republicans essentially threw the blame back on Senate Democrats for not moving on House-approved legislation. The Senate approved a measure extending Bush-era tax cuts for those making less than $250,000, while the House version extended those cuts for all Americans.
"The House passing a bill does not produce a law. That's just a way of giving an excuse to the American people that when their taxes go up, that we fought cuts," Waxman told reporters on Friday. "It does not satisfy anybody because it doesn't solve the problem. The Democrats can stop the Republicans, the Republicans can stop the Democrats. Adults, responsible people have to work together. We can't work together unless we're here, working."
The do-nothing-Congress line is one that Democrats are trying to hammer home and they're doing it now with pro forma sessions, typically low-key, quick and uneventful. Waxman told the Alley that he made the trip from L.A. to D.C. to make that point. "I just came in for these few days. I'll be heading back out, and if there's no further session, that's called, I'll be there for the rest of the campaign."
Waxman did some fundraising while in Washington, too. He's facing his first real contest since the 1970s with a redrawn district and a well-heeled opponent, independent Bill Bloomfield. The DCCC held "Breakfast with Rep. Henry Waxman" fundraiser earlier in the day at Charlie Palmer Steakhouse, where tickets ran from $1,000 to $2,500.

The Anaheim Ducks named four-time Stanley Cup winner Scott Niedermayer as an assistant coach on Friday. Coach Bruce Boudreau added Niedermayer, 39, to a staff that includes current assistants Bob Woods and Brad Lauer. "As a player, Scott was one of the great leaders and winners of all time, making him a tremendous addition to our coaching staff," Ducks general manager Bob Murray said. "His knowledge of the game and relationship with the players will be a great benefit for us." Niedermayer moves over to the coaching side after working as a consultant for hockey operations since he retired as a player in 2010. "The last couple years, having worked with players down in Syracuse and Norfolk at the start of this year, I realized that I do enjoy it -- maybe more than I thought as a player," Niedermayer said. Niedermayer will attend Ducks practices and work from a vantage point above the rink rather than on the bench during home games. "Let's realize Scotty is one of the great...

"I am a Seattle couples counselor working with couples in conflict and marital distress. I focus on the emotional connection between partners. When relationships experience a betrayal, illness, financial crisis, or parenting struggle, it's common to get caught in cycles of negative interaction. I use an approach based on the work of two of the most influential psychologists in marriage and couples work today, Dr. John Gottman of the Gottman Institute and Dr. Sue Johnson, known for her work on emotion-focused therapy. Partners learn to speak concretely about concerns, understand relationship dynamics, and rekindle intimacy. It's a transformative experience for most couples.

"One trend I've noticed is the high percentage of truly unique and sensitive people who walk through my door. It seems some of the finest folks wind up getting lost in this world, not because they have less of an internal compass, but ironically because they have more.

Message from the Dean
The 20th century was arguably the most dynamic in history, marked by war and revolution, decolonization and democratization, weapons proliferation and economic globalization. The international arena of the 21st century promises to be equally dynamic, increasingly complex, and often quite dangerous.
The mission of the Elliott School of International Affairs is simple but profoundly important: to sponsor scholarship that advances our understanding of international problems, and to educate and train the next generation of national and international leaders.
As dean of the Elliott School, I am committed to advancing this mission and the school's position as one of the world's best schools of international affairs. We offer our students extraordinary advantages:
- An incomparable location in the heart of Washington, DC, the most interesting place in the world to study international affairs
- A faculty comprised of superb scholars and scholar-practitioners
- World-renowned research centers on the cutting edge of scholarship
- A truly interdisciplinary, liberal arts undergraduate program that draws on the study of anthropology, culture, economics, history, languages, political science, science, and technology
- Graduate programs that combine an academic foundation with a professional orientation, including an unmatched program of professional skills courses
- Partnerships with leading universities from around the world, making the Elliott School the hub of a global academic network
- A stunning new building with state-of-the-art facilities
The international problems of the 21st century are not just intellectually challenging; they affect the lives and well-being of billions of people around the world. The Elliott School, I believe, will help make a troubled world a better place. I hope you will join us.

Lobo Volleyball
What: NCAA DI Volleyball Championships
Who/When: Lobos (20-9) vs. Hawaii (28-2), 6 p.m.(MT), Friday, Los Angeles
Online: GameTracker, results on GoLobos.com
Tickets: All-session $15 adults, $12 students/seniors; Single session $10 adults, $6 students/seniors
By Richard Stevens - Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
It was a statement for a program, for a coach, for three seniors, for a team, but now there is another statement to be made.
"We're happy to be there, but we're there for a purpose and that's to win," said senior Rose Morris of Sunday's at-large bid that swept the New Mexico Lobos into the NCAA Championships for the first time since 1994.
Said junior Lisa Meeter: "I think this is where the New Mexico program should be. This is where we belong. We're going to play every point like it's the national championship. It's one-and-done if you lose, so we are going to go for it with everything we have."
For Lobo coach Jeff Nelson, the placement of the name New Mexico into a 64-team bracket that includes big-time programs such as Penn State, Stanford, Texas, UCLA and Florida State is as much a validation of a program as it is this special 2009 team of Lobos.
"This is about setting higher standards and higher expectations for our program," said Nelson. "We don't want the NCAA to be a goal, but an expectation. We needed to raise the bar."
The goal and the expectation didn't come to Nelson's Lobos in 2008 and that produced a few jitters and nerves for Sunday's Selection Show that the Lobos watched on the third floor of the Tow Diehm Building.

The first 32 schools went up and New Mexico wasn't on the 64-team bracket. When the portion of the bracket popped up with New Mexico paired with Hawaii, the shouts and screams from these Lobos was startling.
"When it's been 15 years, you have some knots in your stomach," said Nelson. "I think our kids got a little nervous after the first 32 went up and we weren't there. But we expected to be there and we expected to be there from the start of the season."
The Lobos will travel to Los Angeles on Thursday and play the Hawaii Rainbow Wahine on Friday. The No. 12 seed Rainbow Wahine are a good team and a good program. Their seed might even be a bit deceiving. Hawaii is ranked as high as No. 3 in the nation.
Hawaii won its 10th straight Western Athletic Conference by sweeping New Mexico State 25-17, 25-17, 25-23. The Wahine went undefeated in WAC play to win their 14th straight regular season title. Hawaii is 28-2.
Hawaii is paced by Kanani Danielson, Aneli Cubi-Otineru, Dani Mafua, Amber Kaufman, Stephanie Ferrell, and Brittany Hewitt.
"Hawaii is going to be a fun game," said senior Anna Lehne. "I think we are pretty equal to them. It will be a fun, intense game and our plan is to play our hearts out."
Said senior Allie Suiter: "It's a great opportunity for us. We're all excited about this."
If the Lobos get past Hawaii, they'll play on Saturday the winner of Friday's Southern Cal (21-9) vs. Oklahoma (18-11) game. UNM is in the Stanford Region on the same side of the bracket as No. 5 seed Illinois. Stanford, a No. 4 seed, is on the bottom half of the bracket.
The Lobos' RPI, regional ranking and strength of schedule made them appear as a lock for an at-large bid, but the players still remembered the snub of 2008.
"There were some nerves," said Lehne. "We all felt confident going into this, but when I saw our name up there, it was the best feeling ever. It was overwhelming. You definitely aren't 100 percent until you see your name up there, so we got excited when we saw it."
Said Morris: "If you aren't a guarantee, there is some doubt. This feels so good. I told the players that I didn't expect Friday (at New Orleans) to be my last game."
The Lobos made a few big strides this season in changing the culture of Lobos volleyball and establishing a few more expectations. The Lobos ended an eight-match road losing streak at NMSU. The Lobos won at Utah for the first time in 13 years.
But the streak of frustration that ended Sunday was huge. Morris said she was in kindergarden the last time (1994) that UNM went into postseason play.
"The seniors have done a lot of work to get the program back to the NCAA," said the Sandia High product. "We have put blood, sweat and tears into this."
Said Lehne: "It's so satisfying to get back there after 15 years. Everyone on this team has put their heart into this sport and into this team."
Said Nelson: "This is exciting. This is fun. It's a great experience to play in the NCAAS. It's been a long 15 years but we're thrilled to say New Mexico volleyball is officially back."

Interview: More Bodies Transferred to Netherlands
Host, Your Wake Up Call
Follow @JennaLaineBucs
Twenty-five forensic experts and dozens of support staff are now working to identify the remains of victims from the Malaysia Airlines plane that was shot down last week over eastern Ukraine.
The work began in the Netherlands after the remains of victims started being flown in from Ukraine on Wednesday. More military aircraft, with additional remains, are expected later today.
Meanwhile, in the UK, investigators continue to examine Malaysia Air Flight 17's black boxes. The show, they say, no sign of tampering so far.

How did Miley go from a kids show to very promiscuous videos and performances. I mean when I was like 7 I was obsessed with her show. Think of all the kids who have her as a role model from her show. Kids are gonna "hey it's a great idea for me to have sex and smoke pot."
by reillylikesdance on 8/29/2013 10:32:40 AM
Miley broke me. She really did XD
by macbloo on 8/28/2013 9:13:12 AM
@redvelvetluv I completely agree w/ you (not gonna go into details on what I agree on cuz i'll just be writing ur whole comment all over) I mean a lot of kids looked up to miley cyrus cuz she was known as 'the best of both worlds' Hannah Montana, I just think Even though Miley has made a 360 on all her fans by twerking and doing other not so appropriate stuff, none of them will forget Hannah Montana.
I mean I still associate her with Hannah Montana so when I saw the MTV Video Awards I was truly shocked. Sorry for bashin but I just had to say that >.<

I'm glad Bruno Mars won best male video and I'm extremely happy that Macklemore and Ryan Lewis won best song with a social message Same Love is a great and meaningful song that teaches people that it's not nessacary to be closed mined and judgmental my favorite lyrics are
Man- made rewiring of a pre-disposition "America the brave still fears what we don't know" "And God loves all his children it's somehow forgotten" "but we paraphrase a book written 3'500 hundred years ago"
by redvelvetluv on 8/27/2013 8:54:18 PM
I know I'm gonna get bashed for this but I honestly don't care Miley Cyrus is a terrible role model it makes me said that girls as young as 5 look up to her there was nothing good about her performance it was horrific she's trying way to hard to be something she's not what gets me is that the VMAS is rated TV 14 it should be rated TV 16 or 18 MTV basically teaches girls it's ok to be a
........harlot I know a lot of GL girls will freak out if I say something else but oh my gosh if I had a child I defiantly would not let them watch Miley Cyrus's performance or the VMAs for that matter

I was so sad Ed didn't win!
Miley needs to understand that she still has young fans so she can't be going around acting crazy, badly influencing the next generation.

UGH, Miley's performance was SOOO not called for. She 11 year olds following her. She can't just do whatever she wants. That being said, people are freaking out over Taylor Swift cussing, but Miley grinding a 36 year old is okay? Society is so screwed.
by sfluv on 8/26/2013 10:54:00 PM
I enjoyed watching the performance especially Justin Timberlake. His dance choreography was excellent and smooth he had rhythm too with his handsome voice! Also, I enjoyed Katy Perry performance. Although when I first heard the lyrics to her song I wasn't really all into it because it was to basic nothing special but, when I got deeper into the song it was powerful! Miley Cyrus is trying to hard that she made a fool of herself you could tell she was! Also, Miley likes to copy off of people especially Rihanna! And let me tell you something Miley (Although she's not going to read this.) You don't have to do that to prove that your grown!

I thought it was crazy how Miley Cyrus was grinding on robin and twerking on him. And her mom was clapping and cheering the whole time and i think Miley forgot she needed butt to twerk.
by destine02 on 8/26/2013 8:30:33 PM
Miley Cyrus performance was crazy! Lol! I think the best part was just watching the audiences reactions. One of the best reactions had to be Will Smiths family.
by Chloe<3 on 8/26/2013 7:17:39 PM
I loved Miley and Robin performance but i think miley was doing a little too much. I mean like she was good because if i was dance to that i would be good but not do that much watched again and think about what she did XD but miley i still love you. Also did you see taylor swift called out harry styles when she won her award for "i knew you were trouble" LOL srry harry, and i was sooooo happy and hype XD when 1D won i went crazy XD They are my boys. One more thing i love Mumford&sons.
by danalove on 8/26/2013 7:14:33 PM
OMG Miley Cyrus REALLY changed I have no words for her performance last night
by mdenty on 8/26/2013 7:10:32 PM
The only reason I watched was for the Divergent trailer
by arcusashue on 8/26/2013 4:35:30 PM
I know everyone is thinking it, so I'm saying it. The most prminate thing about it was Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke's performance. There are no words for it. Just wow.

A&M-CC opens road swing with win at Sam Houston St.
HUNTSVILLE - Elisa Beagle scored a career-high 19 points and the Islanders hit 17 of 20 free throws as the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi held off a scrappy Sam Houston squad 72-60 Saturday afternoon at Johnson Coliseum.
With the win, the Islanders moved to within a game of .500 at 10-11 overall and improved to 5-3 in the league. The Bearkats are currently 4-18 on the year and 1-8 in league play.
"Our post game with Elisa and Jenesis (Shaw) was really working for us," said Islander head coach Robert Robinson, whose team scored 28 points in the paint. "Our free throw shooting was solid as well.
"It was a big win for us because it solidifies our chances of getting into the conference tournament. The girls did a good job of competing all 40 minutes against a team that really needed a win."
The Islanders led by as many as 14 points in the opening half only to see SHSU claw back to within two points, 35-33, with an 8-1 run to open the second half.
A&M-Corpus Christi answered with six straight points. Beagle scored in the paint and connected on one of two foul shots while Kirbria Lewis added a three-point basket. The spurt pushed the Islander lead back to eight, 41-33, with 14 minutes remaining.
Sam Houston State refused to go away pulling back to within three twice. The last came on a drive to the basket by Whitney Smith, who had nine points, to make the score 50-47, with 9:32 remaining.
Back-to-back baskets by Beagle and a fast-break bucket by Lewis pushed the Islander lead to nine with 7:27 remaining. A&M-Corpus Christi sealed the win by converting 12 of 12 free throws in the final six minutes extending its advantage to as many as 13 points.
"Our game-plan was to work the ball around as a team and my teammates did a good job of feeding me the ball when I was open," said Beagle. "I was making most of my shots so it worked well."
Lewis scored 13 of her 17 points in the second half and was 5 of 6 from the line. She added eight rebounds, eight assists and two steals.
Beagle had 10 points in the first half including four during a 13-0 run by the Islanders.
Leading by one, 13-12, following a Ratysha Alexander basket, Beagle scored a on a layin with 12:10 in the half. A&M-Corpus Christi would scored the next 11 points including four by Lewis, who left briefly with a finger injury, and a three-point basket by Duncan. Beagle ended the run with a basket in the paint as the Islanders outscored the Bearkats 18-4 in the paint in the first 20 minutes.
Duncan had two threes and eight points in 11 minutes before drawing her second foul of the half. She finished the game with 13 points and three threes.
TAMUCC shot 46.9 percent in the first half and led 34-25. The Bearkats shot 30 percent in the first 20 minutes and pulled no closer than seven points the rest of the first half.
Jenesis Shaw added 10 points and was a perfect six-of-six from the foul line. Jillianne Duffey just missed her fourth double-double finishing with nine points and a game-high 10 rebounds.
"Our effort was the best it has been in the last couple of games," said Beagle. "We really came together and had a solid performance."
Alexis Green led the Bearkats with 14 points.
Next up for the Islanders is their second trip of the season to Louisiana. A&M-Corpus Christi will face Nicholls State on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. and Southeastern Louisiana on Saturday at 3 p.m

Runaway Upgrade Processes (obscene bandwidth consumption)
So our network team recently noticed an interesting trend in our network throughput from our AV server. They noticed that our servers where generating a combined, and sustained, throughput of about 500 Mbps between 1am and 7am.
Well that time frame matched an upgrade schedule that we performed quite a while back. But that didn't seem right since almost all of the clients completed their upgrades a long time ago. We have left the schedule in place to catch a very small percentage of straggling clients. However when looking at this more deeply it appears that a small handful of machine (about 30-35) are in a very problematic state. They can't seem to complete the upgrade and it is failing for some reason (we are still trying to determine why). But instead of failing constructively and letting us know they have done so, they just seem to keep trying over, and over and over, etc.
By the end of each 6 hour window, each of these clients has downloaded between 35 and 40 GB of data (install package data). Yes, that is not a typo, I did mean to say 35 to 40 Gigabytes. Between these 30 some odd machines they are pulling a total of about 1.3 Terabytes of data from my servers. And apparently they have been doing this nightly for quite a while. Thank goodness this is all over a LAN.
Have anyone else seen this and if so, where you ever able to determine the cause and engineer a fix?
Thanks for your time.

The figures seems to be on higher side.
What is the version of SEP ? Did you check if delta package being upgraded?
Help Link: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/overview.jsp?pid=54619
I would try exporting the package you are deploying from the SEPM and try installing it directly on one of the problem clients and see if this generates any error's you can see during the install/upgrade.
Do you have a proxy server configured on the SYSTEM account on the machines that have the problems?? This can cause the traffic data to be malformed and the client machine to reject the data over and over again.
Check the following two registry keys to see if this is the case...
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ProxyEnable
This should be set to 0 unless you have sofwtare that specifically requires the System account to have a Proxy Configured.
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections\DefaultConnectionSettings
This should be deleted if you have set it to be 0 above.
Reboot the machine after changing the above then see if it updates ok.

No Fourth of July celebration is complete without a steaming pan of ooey gooey cheddar mac n' cheese. Mac n' cheese is always a crowd pleaser and with great ingredients it even tastier. Feel free to add in crumbled bacon, sauteed mushroom, or caramelized onions. This recipe for cheddar mac n' cheese is straight forward and delicious.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
3 cups shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon ground or freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Salt to taste
1 pound elbow macaroni cooked al dente
Heat a medium, deep skillet over medium heat. Add oil and butter. When butter melts into the oil, add flour and combine. Gently cook, whisking flour and butter together, until smooth and flour has had a chance to cook, about 3 minutes.
Slowly add milk while continuing to whisk. Gently bring milk to a bubble while stirring frequently. Allow the milk to thicken a bit, then stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time. Season sauce with nutmeg and cayenne. Add salt to taste.
Add cooked pasta to sauce and coat completely by turning over and over in the cheese sauce. Transfer to a baking dish and top with remaining cheese. Place baking dish under a hot broiler and brown the cheddar cheese on top.

Every $100 in donations we receive, one of us will eat a habanero pepper. The last one who donates gets to choose who eats it!
An old tradition of the marathon - when we reach $300, someone's going to put a spoonful of cinnamon in their mouth, and then into the carpet.
We'll be starting the marathon off with the uplifting tale of how all of your friends are slowly picked off, and billions of people die because it was an impossible battle!
A modern classic that makes us suffer every year. It's going to be the anniversary edition, but putting that in the title made it like 30 characters, so I just didn't.
Watch our jaws hit the floor as we watch through the new cutscenes, and then watch us get really mad at Quarantine Zone unless they made it way better in the remake.
Entering the home stretch of the marathon, we'll be taking a break from galaxy-hopping space opera in order to play through one of my favourite Firefly episodes.
An old marathon favorite, but now it'll be in 1080p at 60fps. But you'll see it in 720p at like 25fps because that's the best my internet can do. Suckers.
I'll be honest, I didn't really follow this game's plot when I first played it, but it's just so pretty that it's great anyways. On the One, it'll probably melt my eyeballs.
Donors are welcome to join us in cooperative campaign in the games that support it, and then drop their connection and break everything!
We are prepared to get absolutely demolished by all of you. But then we'll just make snarky remarks about you, meaning we can still win in our own hearts.
A: Don't worry. Even if we were sick and evil enough to want to steal donations, we can't. If you check the confirmation message after you donate, as well as your confirmation email, you will see that the money is going STRAIGHT to Child's Play's paypal. The super fancy donation button will record who donated though, so we know who to get the prizes to.
A: Yes. We do the annual Halo: Endurance Evolved marathon of which there have been four, and in April of 2011 and 2012 we did Retrothon, where we played a bunch of retro games for charity. We also did the Fallout 3 Marathon in Feburary 2012, which was our most successful marathon. We followed this up with the Ultimate Gaming Challenge, and the Oculus Riftathon. So far, we've raised almost $10,000 for Child's Play Charity.
A: The chatroom is for audience interaction. It is NOT for saying "LOL I LIKE BUTTS AND SO DO YOU" over and over again. A big part of all of this is audience interaction. We'd love to talk to you as much as possible. Good discussion topics are… - Telling us what mistakes we're making, and mocking us for making stupid decisions. There are many ways to play these games, and part of the reason why we have a chat is to get help and to see the game from another point of view. Please speak up if you disagree with what we're doing. – Giving us pointers. If you know an easier way to get through a place that we're stuck at, PLEASE speak up. Your help is the other reason why we have a chatroom. – Talk amongst yourselves. The more of you that are in there, the more likely more people will stay, and hopefully donate. Things to avoid are… - CAPS LOCK. WHILE MANY WILL TELL YOU THAT IT IS "CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL" OR "FOR THE COOL KIDS, BRO", THEY'RE BEING SARCASTIC. IT'S REALLY ANNOYING. PLEASE USE IT SPARINGLY. – Excessive foul language. There is a fine line between swearing fitting into regular speech, and it becoming obnoxious. If you're being obnoxious, you'll get a warning and then a ban from the chat. – Being quiet. Please talk. We're all lonely. That's why we're playing 48 hours of videogames. We need human interaction.
A: Because we really wanted to help a good cause. Split between all of us, the costs of the prizes aren't that high. Besides, we'd GLADLY spend 50 dollars or so in order to get hundreds or hopefully thousands of dollars to Child's Play, which is really a great cause. Not to mention the fact that we've already done a bunch of marathons, so we already have all of the materials needed to make this happen.
A: We're using a combination of a Logitech HD webcam, an "AVERMEDIA Game Broadcaster HD" we got off amazon, we may end up breaking out the old "Easycap" which we got from an awesome website called Dealextreme as a secondary capture card, and a Blue microphone Lucas picked up online. We added in some duct taped and very cobbled together audio and video splitters and adapters, of which there are more and more as things break during the marathon. We also have an older Blue Snowball microphone and an old laptop to chat over Skype with friends who can't be at the marathon, assuming our internet connection is up to the task. This website is made with wordpress and hosted by bihira, which is an awesome host. The Picture in Picture effect is done with Openbroadcaster, and we're streaming through the awesome that is twitch tv. We're collecting donations through Child's Play's official donations widget. I think that's about it.
A: Well, I'm awesome. So you should. Look, I even didn't put a referral link for the easycap.
A: The first place you should look is Mario Marathon's page of tips. The more we've followed what they do, the more successful our marathons end up being, and they're also incredibly awesome, intelligent, and handsome. You can also shoot us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll respond as soon as possible. Oh, one important tip that the Mario Marathon guide doesn't have is that if your team is small enough where a lack of sleep will be an issue, prepare to start hating your friends. You learn who people truly are once they've been awake for 24 hours straight constantly playing video games, or when you try to wake them up at 4am for their shift.
A: Yes.
A: I wouldn't be surprised if everything on this site is broken. We've finally retired the old site, which got us through two years, and built this snazzy new one, so some bugs or issues are to be expected. Anyways, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or use the contact form on the front page.
A: Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or use the contact form on the front page.
Omnithon is a group that does gaming marathons to raise money for charity. A gaming marathon is where we play through a game or series of games, and stream it online while collecting donations for a cause we support, which in our case is Child's Play Charity, which brings entertainment and hope to those in children's hospitals. We've raised over $10,000 dollars with our prior marathons, and hope to raise even more going forward.

Well Wills is disputing this saying Tunney avoided the fight too
If you believe otherwise you're taking Rickard's and Kearn's words as gospel, in which fact you have to take their statements that Dempsey avoided Wills
Lets start with the obvious question of who had the most to gain from the fight.
Tunney stood to establish himself as the #1 contender by beating Wills, while Wills would have gained nothing from beating Tunney.
The case you're referring too is before the Firpo fight, when Wills manager sued Dempsey to enforce
As a Dempsey fan are you saying this is why Dempsey avoided Wills after Firpo? This was before Dempsey signed the contract to face Wills and renegaded on the commitment
No, I am saying that it is one part of a complex set of circumstances, that you paint as being simple.
Again this was never a Dempsey thread, but you've entered it to turn it that way despite everything else
The irony is not lost on me.
I guess that if everybody else gets to do this, then it is only fair that I get my turn.
Yes you are a Dempsey apologist, that's your historic position on Wills. That's your only reason for entering this thread, you haven't read the sources and have come in to talk about Dempsey despite this thread having little to do with Jack Dempsey
You very rarely bring any primary sources and when you do they don't usually back up what you're saying
At least I will acknowledge primary sources that do not suport my position, rather than trying to find a reason to dismiss them.
The irony is that in a setting with a more orthodox view on Dempsey, I might have ended up being the person making the case for Wills!

PSO Music Director, Manfred Honeck, to Guest Conduct in Los Angeles and Philadelphia
PITTSBURGH- In November, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Music Director Manfred Honeck will lead performances of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

On Nov. 14-16, Honeck will lead the Philadelphia Orchestra in "From Vienna to the New World," a journey with which the Austrian conductor is quite familiar. The program features works by composers who were influenced by the music and spirit of foreign culture, including AntonínDvo?ák's "New World" Symphony, which was influenced by the composer's three-year stay in the United States; Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5, which is punctuated by a Turkish-style dervish; and Johann Strauss Jr.'s Die Fledermaus, which was originally based on a French stage comedy. More information or tickets can be found at www.philorch.org.
Honeck will cross the country to return to the Los Angeles Philharmonic on Nov. 21-23 in a program of Dvo?ák at the inspiring Disney Concert Hall featuring the composer's Carnival Overture, tuneful, dancing Violin Concerto and Symphony No. 8. Honeck last led the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2000. More information and tickets can be found at www.laphil.com.
Manfred Honeck was appointed the ninth music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in January 2007, and began his tenure at the start of the 2008-2009 season. After a first extension in 2009, his contract was extended for the second time in February 2012, now through the 2019-2020 season. Honeck was born in Austria and studied music at the Academy of Music in Vienna. An accomplished violinist and violist, he spent more than 10 years as a member of the Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna State Opera Orchestra. He began his career as conductor of Vienna's Jeunesse Orchestra, which he co-founded, and as assistant to Claudio Abbado at the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra in Vienna. In 2010, Honeck was awarded an honorary doctorate from St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa. Apart from his numerous tasks as conductor, he has been artistic director of the "International Concerts Wolfegg" in Germany for more than 15 years. Honeck served as principal guest conductor of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra from 2008 to 2011, a position he has resumed for another three years at the beginning of the 2013-2014 season. As a guest conductor, Honeck has worked with major orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Staatskapelle Dresden, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and the Vienna Philharmonic and in the United States with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra Washington and Boston Symphony Orchestra.

The ensuing 'Bounty Gate' scandal took the New Orleans Saints organization by storm and turned an inspirational franchise into a nightmare. Everyone already knows the casualties of the scandal included Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma. When the NFL handed down his season-long suspension this past offseason, it was a punishment based on symbolism. If the accusations were true, then every player on the Saints would have known or been involved in the scandal, but the league didn't believe the public could accept punishments against everyone on the Saints organization. On 9/7/12, a Federal Court appeals panel overturned the suspensions of Jonathan Vilma, Will Smith, Scott Fujita and Anthony Hargrove. However, there is no victory for Jonathan Vilma, whose career is hanging on threads .… Read more

However, the response to warming is rarely straightforward and may be modulated by local or regional factors, producing variability in biotic responses. This thesis examines three important drivers of local to regional-scale variability in the climate response of diatoms and chironomids, specifically: 1) the modulation of regional climate by the Wrangell-St. Elias ice fields over the Holocene in the Yukon; 2) the role of ice cover as the dominant driver of diatom assemblages in the High Arctic; and 3) the interaction between climate and nutrient dynamics at the archeological site Kukulek, Alaska. In the Yukon, paleolimnological records from three lakes at varying distances from the Wrangell-St. Elias ice fields were used to investigate the possible influence of large cryospheric features over the Holocene. The lake proximate to the ice fields showed a response to the Holocene Thermal Maximum, a warm period of similar magnitude to expected warming, suggesting that the moderating effect of the ice fields evident in recent records (spanning ~150 years) might deteriorate as the ice fields ablate. In the High Arctic, using a comparative study design we explicitly contrasted the diatom response to warming in four groups of sites characterized by different ice cover regimes. The diatoms shifted in a predictable manner from a low diversity, epipelic and epilithic assemblage, to a more diverse, largely epiphytic, assemblage likely in response to warming-associated changes in ice cover. At the Kukulek archeological site, marine-derived nutrients from historical hunting activities were traced by stable isotopes entering the adjacent pond, potentially tracing two periods of disturbance in the sediment record: the 1878-1880 AD famine and the archeological excavation in the 1930s. Warming temperatures, coincident with the late 19th century disturbance, may have compounded the fertilization of this pond as thawing permafrost released nutrients from the Kukulek site, affecting the diatom species composition. Collectively, this research increases our ability to effectively use diatom and chironomid assemblages as paleoecological proxies for climate and other environmental changes at high latitudes. Understanding context is key for improved paleoclimate reconstructions in this under-studied region.

Acidification has led to unprecedented damage on zooplankton communities, with reductions in species richness, and in extreme cases, local extirpations. Although lake pH is recovering due to emission control policies, many acid-sensitive species (e.g. large Daphnia) have failed to re-establish in lakes, despite their occasional detection in plankton records. Coincidently, calcium, a critical component of cladoceran exoskeletons, has declined precipitously in many historically acidified lakes over the last few decades, and may be approaching ecologically concerning concentrations. Studies suggest that crustaceous zooplankton are likely vulnerable to calcium decline because of their fully aquatic lifecycle, calcified exoskeleton, and inherent reliance on available aqueous calcium. However, disentangling biological impacts of low calcium in acidic, and chemically recovered (pH>6.0) lakes is difficult because of a strong correlation between pH and calcium concentration. To investigate the impact of low calcium concentration on zooplankton recovery in acid-damaged lakes, lake mesocosms were stocked with zooplankton from the regional species pool and four treatments were applied in a factorial design: pH (5.7 and 6.3) and calcium (0.9mg L-1 and 2.3mg L-1). A comparison between the effects of calcium and pH indicates that impacts from declining calcium are likely to be similar to those of acidification. Total community metrics (i.e. abundance, richness, evenness, size-structure) remained similar across treatments; however, low calcium and low pH each resulted in lower abundance of Daphnia pulex/pulicaria – a large acid-sensitive, and heavily calcified cladoceran. In contrast, the abundance of small cladocerans, including smaller, acid-tolerant daphniids (Daphnia catawba, Daphnia ambigua), was higher in low calcium treatments. When both stressors were combined, changes largely reflected the effect of the most severe independent stressor. By prohibiting recovery of acid-sensitive species, and promoting establishment of zooplankton already common to acid-structured communities, our results suggest that declining calcium is likely a barrier to biological recovery in historically acidified lakes.

Based on both the D. melanogaster UAS/GAL4 system (adapted from yeast) and the mouse lac system (adapted from Escherichia coli), this system would ostensibly allow for precise control of the location, timing, and amount of a transgene's expression. Previously, flies capable of expressing the lac repressor (lacI) in a GAL4-dependent manner were reported. Here, I report the remaining components needed to characterize the utility of these tools Two promoters incorporating two or three lac operator sequences into the conventional UAS promoter were also produced. Here, I generated promoter-reporter constructs to test the viability of this system. I prepared true-breeding transgenic flies and mapped the chromosome of transgene insertion in flies carrying the genes for pro-apoptotic reporter grim or the enzyme ß-galactosidase (lacZ) under the control of each chimeric UAS-lacO promoter. I prepared a total of 28 lines (eight 2-operator grim lines, five 3- operator grim lines, twelve 2-operator lacZ lines, and three 3-operator lacZ lines). Preliminary experiments to assess the baseline (unrepressed) expression of these reporters indicated weak expression relative to the conventional GAL4-UAS promoter, however as no appropriate benchmark for characterization of these lines existed at the time, these results were inconclusive. To assess the feasibility of this system in aging studies, preliminary longevity analyses in the presence of the inducers IPTG and lactose were performed. The presence of lactose was not shown to affect survival in a statistically significant manner. Survival was inconsistent when IPTG was present in the food. All the components of this system have been prepared, however further characterization is needed to confirm its utility in aging studies.

Authors: Gao, Ge Abstract: Mitochondrial biogenesis permits tissues to increase mitochondrial content in response to environmental and physiological stressors. In many species of fish mitochondrial biogenesis is triggered by cold exposure. The greater capacity to produce ATP may compensate for energy shortages when body temperature decreases. In goldfish, cold acclimation increases COX activity (and content), paralleled by increases in COX4-1 transcript levels. These transcriptional changes are accompanied by increases in nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF-1) mRNA and nuclear protein levels. Since NRF-1 regulates mitochondrial biogenesis in mammals, my thesis explored whether the increase in NRF-1 caused the change in COX4-1 mRNA that is associated with mitochondrial biogenesis. I used reporter genes under the control of the goldfish COX4-1 proximal promoter to characterize the COX4-1 gene in an effort to identify cold responsive elements. Preliminary analysis of the promoter sequence suggested that there was a putative NRF-1 site at -444/-414 on the proximal promoter, and a second putative NRF-1 element in the 5'UTR. I created a series of reporters that differed in length and analyzed these promoters in several cell types. In mouse myoblasts (C2C12), a decrement in promoter activity was seen when a critical region from 230 bp to 159 bp was deleted. In C2C12 myotubes, deletion of a region of the promoter from -452 to -312 led to a 30% loss in activity. The 1592bp reporter gene transfected into rainbow trout gonad (RTG-2) cells was unaffected by deletions until shortened to 114 bp, and promoter activity was not affected by temperature. When plasmids were transfected into goldfish white muscle, no increase in luciferase expression was seen in cold-acclimated fish that showed a 6.5-fold increase in COX4-1 mRNA. This goldfish in vivo model also created an opportunity to determine if species that differ in thermal tolerance possessed promoters that differed in thermal sensitivity. COX4-1 promoters from the eurythermal goldfish and the stenothermal zebrafish showed the same magnitude of change in promoter activity. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis was conducted on goldfish white muscle to assess if acclimation affected the amount of NRF-1 bound to the COX4-1 promoter. I saw no significant change in binding of NRF-1 to the promoter. While I found no evidence of NRF-1 binding to the proximal promoter of COX4-1, it remains possible that the up-regulation of COX4-1 transcript is a result of NRF-1 binding to an upstream distal promoter region or in an indirect manner through regulating other transcription factors.

117 new Effects for GIMP 2.6
Thanks to GIMP FX Foundry, you can now equip GIMP 2.6 with 117 additional scripts that can work some spectacular extra effects into existing graphics.
The Gimp FX Foundry SourceForce project made it its assignment to provide scripts for porting into the current GIMP or allow creating them from scratch. The scripts allow GIMP graphics to be endowed with special effects, such as blurring or distorting them in certain ways. The Foundry now provides 117 new scripts for GIMP 2.6 that are not part of the graphic software's standard installation.
Among them are the Roy Lichtenstein effect script to render graphics in the pop artist's style, the Planet Render script to create a planet of your choosing and desired size and dimension. and the Old Photo script to give existing photos that antiquated touch. A complete list of scripts is on the project's documentation page, although details on what each script does are rather sparse. The best thing is to download the script and try it out.
Downloads can be tar or zip. Unpack and copy them into your home directory under the hidden ~/.gimp-2.6/scripts directory. After starting GIMP 2.6, actualize the scripts by using Filter, Script-Fu, then Refresh Scripts. A new Fx-Foundry menu will subsequently appear to access the scripts.
that's coolthis is really good news, I am a big fan of Gimp .I'v submitted a link of this article to www.linuxine.com in order to share it with more people.thanks!
Awsome... Thank you.I installed these scripts and experimented a little. Good work. There are some very useful effects here. I will definitely use some on http://bloggajim.com
Thank you.

Portable Linux LiveDVD helps business and employeesCompanies not using Linux can still benefit from Linux and Gimp. A Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, Slax, Puppy etc, remix can be created for the company as a training distro around the Gimp. The company can set up a few worstations for the training or can just give out this Linux distro as a liveCD/DVD. The distro should be optimized for the Gimp, but it can be further customized for the work environment. [The business can also create a demo CD which would also feature the company products, services, applications, etc, through shortcuts on the desktop, etc.]
Optimized for Linux. Optimized for the business. Free to use. Free to share.
but at work......I am not admin of my PC. Company goes XP.
No problem, there is portable gimp, from http://portableapps.org
Remember to install the scripts in the correct directory:
launch gimp, go into the menu
then Folders->Scripts
and you will find the folder where to extract the scripts to. In my case it is:

Music Training Might Boost Kids' Reading, Language Skills
New research suggests that when kids learn a musical instrument, they might get an added bonus: Enhanced reading and language skills.
The study, presented at the recent annual meeting of the American Psychological Association, found that 9- and 10-year-old kids who were taught music had better reading scores versus those who didn't get the lessons.
In the study, a team led by Dr. Nina Kraus of Northwestern University in Chicago tracked academic outcomes for children in lower-income neighborhoods in Chicago and Los Angeles.
Kids who got music lessons five or more hours per week didn't experience any decline in reading test scores -- something typically expected for many children in poorer areas, the BBC reported.
The researchers also tracked the children's brain activity and found that after two years of music training, children seemed better at distinguishing one sound from another, even when there was background noise.
"While more-affluent students do better in school than children from lower-income backgrounds, we are finding that musical training can alter the nervous system to create a better learner and help offset this academic gap," Kraus told the BBC.

To be more specific, there is a Benfica vs. Porto match on 5/12 (I believe in Porto) and a Benfica match in Lisbon on 5/19. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or links to the correct place to purchase tickets.
