According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime. Despite that prevalence, skin cancer remains the proverbial elephant in the room, a disease men and women are certainly aware of, but many prefer not to think about. Thanks to a societal trend that associates a deep tan with beauty, many men and women prefer to avoid the subject of skin cancer. However, as the following facts and figures about skin cancer attest, skin cancer is a topic that cannot be ignored and one men, women and children alike need to learn about to better reduce their risk of experiencing this preventable disease.
* According to the American Cancer Society, men are more likely to develop non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancers than women. In fact, the National Cancer Institute notes the majority of people diagnosed with melanoma are white men over the age of 50.
* The rate of skin cancers increases with age. However, skin cancers, and especially melanomas, can be found in younger people.
* The five-year overall survival rate for melanoma, which represents the percentage of patients who live at least five years after diagnosis, is 91 percent. This includes patients who are disease-free, in remission or under treatment.
* The five year localized survival rate for melanoma is 98 percent. Localized cancer represents cancer that, at the time of diagnosis, has not spread to other parts of the body.
* The NCI's Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results program notes that nearly 800,000 Americans are living with a history of melanoma and 13 million are living with a history of nonmelanoma skin cancer.
* Basal cell carcinoma, a slow-growing and painless type of nonmelanoma skin cancer, is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Roughly 2.8 million cases of BCC are diagnosed annually in the U.S. Though rarely fatal, BCCs can be unsightly if the cancer is allowed to grow.

Flat higher-education funding in Gov. Bill Haslam's $32.4 billion budget approved by state lawmakers last week could mean more belt-tightening for East Tennessee State University and increased tuition and fees to students next year.
Citing lower than expected revenues, the governor's amended budget reduced recurring general funding to the state's public universities, community colleges and technical schools by .3 percent, instead of the $29.6 million recommended by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission during the budget process.
For a majority of the schools under the Tennessee Board of Regents system, the stagnant appropriations materialize as a budget reduction under the outcomes-based funding formula implemented four years ago under the Complete College Tennessee Act.
The funding model, intended to steer higher education appropriations away from an enrollment-based mechanism and emphasize degree attainment and student progression, means ETSU will receive $1,057,200 less from the state for recurring expenses next year than it did this year.
ETSU Vice President of Finance David Collins said a fixed cost component based on the amount of floor space a university occupies threw the formula out of balance this year.
A new science building at Middle Tennessee State University helped to draw funding to that school and away from most of the others, he said.
By holding the line on state funding, MTSU and Austin Peay State University each received an additional $1 million, but the other four-year universities in the TBR system lost a combined $3.5 million.
"It certainly hurt us, but by how much will be up in the air," Collins said. "Most likely it will translate to fee increases or further reductions we have to make. It starts us out at $1 million less than last year."
Enrollment at ETSU has fallen for two straight years, draining millions from the university's operating budget and resulting in austerity measures, including a hiring freeze and a 1.5 percent across-the-board cut, implemented by President Brian Noland.
Collins said the declining proportion of funding contributed by the state puts the cost of higher education more heavily on the back of students, and universities are more drastically affected by enrollment swings.
"Like we've said many times, 10 years ago the state funded 70 of our costs and tuition and fees funded 30 — now that's exactly reversed," he said. "We have become much more like a private school now. We used to not have to worry as much about the rise and fall of enrollment, but now, 1 percent plus or minus makes a huge difference in the budget."
According to figures from TBR Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance Dale Sims, the funding from the state for full-time equivalency students has fallen by nearly a third since 2008.
During a meeting with board members Thursday to discuss the fiscal shortcomings, Sims said THEC initially recommended a 2 to 4 percent increase in tuition and fees for the state's colleges, but that was assuming the $29.6 million funding increase the commission recommended.
The options available to colleges to fill the gap left by falling state contribution -— either reduce expenses on academics and programming or increase tuition and fees — both have negative effects on the student population, Collins said.
"About 70 to 80 percent of our students are on student aid, and a lot of those are loans," he said. "As prices increase, so does the amount they have to borrow and the amount of time it takes for them to pay it off after they graduate."

Lamb burgers are like the Super Mario Bros. 2 of the burger world.

We have all heard the expression, "There's good, and then there's good!"
For Maria Belaya, she is the latter – she's good!
How good is she?
She was named the CAA Player of the Year, she's a two time first team all-CAA member, and she has earned one of the 16 automatic spots in the NCAA tournament.
The Russian born junior credits her parents for getting her involved in the sport of tennis at the age of five. She transferred to the green and gold after a year at Clemson – a move which proved to be beneficial.
She says the best part of her game is her backhand.
Maria has hit many game winners this season. She's earned 21 singles wins.
Here's another thing that makes her good – she's also qualified in doubles for the NCAA tournament. She and playing partner Jeltje Loomans are one of the nation's best teams. They have been nationally ranked in the top ten all year with a 22 and 4 record. Her partner says she is one of the best on the court. And on most days – that's exactly where you will find her.

She focus on stating that opening shops that cater for "black" people is going to attrack crime and call the business a "shithole."
This damages the tourist attractions to our town, as the pages has hundreds/thousands of members. Also affects the publicity of a new business opened.
She uses names like "moffie" towards homosexuals. That was mentioned to myself, with my picture attached,

New hope on East Main
Prospects are picking up that a downtown building no longer used by Durham County could continue to have a useful life.
Durham County officials clearly have shelved a plan to demolish the building, formerly occupied by the Department of Social Services, and create a park or plaza to the east of the old County Courthouse. That idea -- originally part of plan formulated in the 1990s, well before downtown's current rebirth was underway -- met considerable opposition at a public meeting last October as social services was moving to its new home a couple blocks further east.
We, too, found that idea questionable, at best. The site is steeply sloped, and sits at Main's busy, sprawling intersection with Mangum Street. There's no question we need open space in a downtown that promises to become more and more dense, but there are better sites, as an open space plan taking shape in the City-County Planning Department suggests.
Now, the Self-Help credit union has entered the picture. It is in discussions with county officials who acknowledge that with the plaza idea scrapped, "we're trying to figure out our next steps," as Interim County Manager Lee Worsley told The Herald-Sun's Ray Gronberg.
Self-Help's interest is still in the very preliminary stages, but the institution has played a significant role in downtown redevelopment both as a lender and property owner. It has renovated and manages several historic properties, and its financial participation was key in the American Tobacco redevelopment. It's a partner with the city in the Southside and Rolling Hills redevelopment projects,
The former social services office was built in 1966 and does present challenges. "We think there is the possibility to renovate it if it's done right and financed right," Dan Levine' Self-Help's assistant real estate director, told Gronberg.
The credit union sees an especially worthy potential for the site. It would like to, Levine said, create "some modestly priced office space for nonprofits and small businesses" in downtown where rising rental rates could close out such enterprises.
News of possible renovation of the social services building comes as the city's interest seems to be cooling in locating a new police headquarters on another important East Main Street block. And even if the city chooses the site, it has shown recent willingness to consider renovating and repurposing buildings there -- including a historic three-story building that once housed Carpenter Motor Company -- rather than demolishing them.
How that block and the social services corner are developed will impact how successfully link the core of downtown links the redeveloped Golden Belt complex and surrounding neighborhood. Already, the relatively closed façades of the new Social Services Complex and the sprawling surface parking lot to their east hamper connection between the two areas.
Many hurdles remain -- and crucial details will we robustly debated -- but we're heartened that Durham's penchant for talking through all the options and looking for creative solutions is coming into play on both East Main Street properties.

They set up a forward in their firewall so that I could ssh (with X forwarding) to their Tru64 machine. They need to move the sshd to a new LINUX server. So, they changed the forward over to that machine. I just had them enable X forwarding on the new LINUX machine. Remaining problem: There is no ssh CLIENT on the LINUX machine (yet). I tried sending X from the old Tru64 machine to linuxMachine:10, but it failed. My guess is that it has to do with ssh port-forwarding working only on loobpack by default. My guess is that the above arrangement is insecure because keystrokes can be snooped from the X data stream from linux-->tru64, and passwords can be taken. I don't want that. So... I have requested an ssh client on the LINUX machine. I'm hoping that ssh X-forwarding will daiisy chain. The forwarded port (i hope) will go over loopback on the LINUX box. That part I miss is... whats insecure about tunneling X over ssh? Seems to me like a hacker would need to root the machine handling the encrypted X connetion to get anything. And frankly, we are already toast if he has done that. I think its sufficient just to make sure that passwords aren't flying over ethernet, snoopable. Our data is not sensitive. I don't even care if y'all snoop every little thing I do... except for the passwords. However, I would like to be aware of any OpenSSH-X-tunnel security problems.

text: Inter were very lucky to survive against Barcelona. The first leg was a total joke in terms of officiating (ironic, considering Barca's recent history) and then Mourinho basically sent his team into a shell during the second leg. It's tough to win when you have 9-10 players playing defensive-minded football against you for the entire game. After Inter's sendoff (lolbusquets), JM literally ran a 4-5-0. With no passing lanes to exploit, Barca's offense stagnated. Had they not lost 3-1 in the first leg, they surely would have advanced.

Source: Wrestling Observer NewsletterThere has been a major shake-up in the WWE live events department. New Senior Vice President of Live Events Patrick Tally has cleaned out some longtime employees and is looking at hiring his own people for the department.
Those let go include Senior Director of Live Events Marketing Rafael Morffi and Senior Live Events Promotional Manager Jennifer Davis. Morffi's departure surprised a lot of people because he was considered very good at his job and was well respected in the New York sports scene.
Attendance and gates are up over the past two months from the same period in 2011 but there are still a lot of issues with WWE live events right now. The biggest frustrations come from the SmackDown brand. WWE likes to think that "WWE" is the draw and not the individual Superstars but SmackDown draws significantly less than RAW. WWE has even lowered SmackDown prices as a way to close the gap but it hasn't helped.
More changes with pricing could be coming. The feeling is that the high price for the first few rows is fine and there likely won't be any adjusting the bottom prices that go as low as $15 or $20. There have been some thoughts that the middle ticket prices are too expensive.

After weeks of fruitless negotiations, the debt-ceiling showdown is coming down to a pair of unanswered questions. Is President Obama really prepared to risk the debacle that a failure to raise the debt ceiling might cause for the economy? And are the Republicans prepared for the deluge of abuse the president and his cheering section in the mainstream media are about to rain down on their heads if they stand their ground and refuse to go along with the tax increases that Obama demands as part of the price for an agreement?
The answer to the first question is yes. Everything the president has said and done in recent days shows he is not merely prepared to face the negative consequences for the economy that a blowup on the debt would incur; he is inviting them. Obama's goal is to avoid making the tough choices he's always prattling about prior to the 2012 election. Since he believes the polls that tell him his demagogic attacks on the Republicans about taxing the rich will absolve the Democrats of blame for the crisis, he appears to be seeking the fiasco that he claims to be working to avoid. Obama thinks he is in a no-lose position. Either the GOP will fold and agree to tax increases or he will saddle them with all of the responsibility for the impact of the debt crisis.
The answer to the second question is less than clear. Those Republicans who remember 1995 are understandably worried that going to the brink with the White House will expose them to the same kind of abuse that sank the GOP-led Congress in that dispute. Though they have avoided most of then House Speaker Newt Gingrich's foolish mistakes in confronting President Clinton, they know a principled stand against further growth of government and taxes will be portrayed in much of the mainstream media as extremism. A president always has the advantage in a duel with a divided Congress ,because he can speak with one voice while the party out of power cannot. Though the voters put them into office to cut the size of government and lower taxes, that cause will be lost if they allow the president to paint them as rabid obstructionists.
That makes it imperative that House Republicans respond to the president's brinksmanship by quickly passing their own debt plan with no tax increases and force either Senate Democrats or the president to veto it. If they cannot pull together and do that, then chances are they play right into Obama's hands. Obama will back down and accept a short-term plan only if he thinks he will be blamed for the debt fallout. Though there is a faction in the House that actually thinks a default would be a good thing, the GOP must pull itself together and act. Their goal must be to survive the coming onslaught and keep the fight for smaller government alive.

Bow Wow, Astro, Amanda Seales & Necole Bitchie Host McDonald's Flavor Battle Launch
Last night, it was all about the "Beats and Eats" as McDonald's kicked off their national Flavor Battle competition in Times Square New York. 106 and Park host Bow Wow and former X Factor finalist Astro were on hand for the event as well as myself and Amanda Seales who held down the turntables throughout the night.
Flavor Battle is a 13-week national DJ battle that launched on November 8th. The competition consists of 24 DJs who will battle it out for three rounds by submitting custom mixes to the Flavor Battle. Each day, you can listen to a custom mix from each DJ over at FlavorBattle.com and submit your votes. The DJ with the most votes will advance to the finale event in Miami where they will spin in front of a panel of celebrity judges which includes DJ Spinderella and Just Blaze, for a chance to win $10,000.
Check out a few flicks from the launch event last night below:
For those wondering what Astro has been up to since competing on X Factor, he signed a deal with Sony, he's working on a new album and he just finished up a movie with other roles in the works.
Mr. 106 and Park loves McDonald's burgers.
Amanda Seales (formerly known as Amanda Diva) kept the crowd amped while holding down the 1s and 2s.

Great food !!!
Posted by Jim on 07/23/2012
OUTSTANDING is all I can say! Everything I have ever gotten here has been GREAT! You enter with a smile and leave with a smile just like the staff. Yes, it may be a bit expensive but you get what you pay for and if you don't want to spend the extra bucks then go to one of those chinese restaurants that have #1 in front of their name.

I have patronized this restaurant for many years and there is a reason why Bon Siu and his staff have been there for almost 20 years. You will not find better dumplings (they are handmade each day) or wonton soup. I have never had a less than stellar meal.

I currently live in Seattle, but ate at the Mustard Green twice a week when I lived in the Philly area. Have just made reservations for 12 for (upstairs). When the soft shell crab is in season there is not a better place to take family-friends or business customers. Chef, staff and Atmosphere complement the cuisine's high marks.

Totally mediocre. Food was slightly better than a chinese take out placewith Panda or #1 in the name. Also, it was way over priced for what you get. Very dissapointed. Heard raves about it for years.

Mustard Greens is Chinese food at its best. There are no heavy sauces here, just the freshest ingredients prepared in a way that best brings out the flavor of the ingredients. Be sure to try the dumplings, fresh fish, and any shrimp dish. The worst thing on the menu is the egg rolls, and even they are better than anything you'll get at your standard Chinese place.

Mustard Green is the place to be if you want quality food and service. this place is consistently good. i am a local who eats there frequently. i also enjoy the take out service. a sure bet for a first date, a family night or going at it solo. don't miss an opportunity to have a meal at must mustard green.

God bless Twitter. When Axl Rose and Kurt Cobain faced off at the MTV Music Awards almost twenty years ago, the stars were left to stew in their juices following the night's feud. But following a public shouting match at last week's NME Awards, Lily Allen is free to post grotesque twitpics of Courtney Love at Milan Fashion Week, while Love responds with, well…she can speak for herself.
oh @lilyroseallen tweeted that pic? thats just baby brat nonsense we are NOT having a" FUED" WOULDNT DEIGN TO post a pic of her thighs…but im not the one on gak every night dear, you are, and im not the one who uses the word "relevant" to reassure meselfALWAYS…your really a brat, is there anyone who you havent started a meaningless strop with? the night you did all the blow on earth…the night you home invaded me did all the blow ive ever seen in my home wouldnt leave and blamed ME for yr s— show?thighs?…But then again i dont pick fights with insanely deluded irrevelant friendless unatractive children who noone i know even close to likes.
Love then posted several unflattering pics of Allen circa 2008 (Love digs deep!), retweeted some supporters, called the 24-year-old singer a "feral woofy dog," and said Allen doesn't have an exclusive deal with Chanel—Love's earlier accusation that kicked off this mess—because she's "too plump" (that's right, two critically hailed artists are having fight online over which one is ugly and which one is fat). Allen has yet to respond to Love's unending-as-of-our-posting stream of bile ("whata sad baby, retire already so you can stop picking fights with everyone for no reason, ps tip, nme awards not venue to dress filmstar") but we're sure it's only a matter of time.

Webcomics: Entertainment for the New Millennium
Independent webcomics are, generally speaking, a lot more interesting than the comics you can read in the newspaper – they have the space and the freedom to experiment artistically and tackle controversial or niche subjects, and women aren't as underrepresented. Here are just four current comics written and drawn by women that are worth checking out. Got one you love that you want other readers to know about? Leave it in the comments section!
Octopus Pie (Meredith Gran)
Cynical antihero Eve Ning and her happy-go-lucky roommate, Hanna Thompson, have adventures in Brooklyn and sometimes beyond. A well-developed group of characters helps make the absurd and visually inventive storylines (stoners vs. nerds laser tag battle, organic supermarket sweep, renaissance faire romance) seem bizarre but not entirely unrealistic. Also, Eve's ethnicity is not the focus of the strip! Woohoo!
Girls With Slingshots (Danielle Corsetto)
A group of metropolitan twentysomethings hang out in bars and cafes, trying to navigate sex, love, careers and everything in between. It's like Friends, but with a racially and sexually diverse cast of characters, realistic financial situations, talking cacti, Internet jokes, female masturbation jokes – oh, and it's actually funny. How funny, you ask? So funny that I read more than 800 strips, in, um, two days.
DAR (Erika Moen)
Autobiographical comic strips are hard to do right, but it helps when the autobiographer is unflinchingly honest, consistently funny and totally badass. The earlier DAR strips are more conceptual and artsy (and beautiful), then about midway through it becomes more straightforward autobiography tempered with poop jokes.
Hark! A Vagrant (Kate Beaton)
Canadian cartoonist Kate Beaton's brilliant webcomic (previously featured on our fall 2008 Bitch List) specializes in fictionalized or nonsensical tales of historical figures both famous and obscure. Occasionally these involve complex jokes requiring solid background knowledge of, say, the history of Newfoundland; also mixed in are autobiographical tales, tongue-in-cheek Darcy fanfics and crudely-drawn single-panel cartoons that are like Natalie Dee but way funnier. Where else can you find queens, kings, pirates, prime ministers, saucy mermaids, Shetland ponies, Pope Action Comics and a healthy dose of Mountie humor all in one place? Thanks, Internet (and Kate Beaton).
If you don't have a subscription to award-winning 80-page quarterly Bitch magazine, it's definitely time to start one.

Other female artists
I also like Jamaica Dyer http://www.jamaicad.com/comic/ Megan Gedris http://rosalarian.com/yume/ and Lucy Knisley http://lucylou.livejournal.com/
There are also a decent amount of webcomics written by men which depict women as normal and real, not a stereotype or a bullet-bra'd sex-object.
I wanted to highlight female
I wanted to highlight female authors in this post, but you're right - there are definitely a lot of webcomics by men that feature great female characters. Thanks for the suggestions!!
LOVE Kate Beaton so much!
LOVE Kate Beaton so much! Hadn't heard of the other ones so I'm thankful for this post considering web based comics are one of my greatest pleasures in life. Also, I definitely second Lucy Lou!

I love these four! Magnolia
I love these four! Magnolia Porter's Bobwhite is also very amazing (http://www.bobwhitecomics.com/)
More webcomic ladies with serious chops:
Rene Engstrom is an incredibly talented storyteller with well-developed characters and a simple but lovely art style. She is also an all-around awesome person. http://anderslovesmaria.reneengstrom.com/
Most of Jess Fink's work is NSFW, but check it out when you can; you won't be sorry. I just don't even know what else to say about it. http://jessfink.com
Kelly Vivanco's silly humor rules the more challenging one-panel format, and she also sells hauntingly beautiful paintings from her website. http://www.hingos.com/patches/index.php
Rebecca Clements's strips may look kind of cutesy at first, but they are almost always thoroughly and genuinely funny, and the cutesy style is actually represented through some real artistic talent and imaginative abilities of which I will forever be jealous. http://www.kinokofry.com
Beware artists: Tracy Butler will probably make you hate your life. Her strip centers around a '20s speakeasy run by some very interesting characters. Never mind that all the characters are cats; this is one seriously excellent and well-researched strip. http://www.lackadaisycats.com/
One of My Faves
Is Jennie Breeden of The Devil's Panties. Semi-autobiographical, she says all those things you think. Absolutely hilarious and fun. : )
These recommendations are
These recommendations are great! I also want to give praise to Julie McGalliard's long running series GOTH HOUSE.
These are pretty good comics, but yeah, I was disappointed YU+ME by Meg wasn't on the list since none of these have lesbian characters.
Not Dar, but I do read
Not Dar, but I do read GWS.
I'm saying main characters.
Not that I'm nitpicking, but --
Erika Moen is a queer lady who just happens to have fallen in love with a man (as she more or less stated once.)
I just read all of DAR.
I just read all of DAR. Loved it, but still, I was surprised YU+ME wasn't on the list. And I second the comment saying that she is just a queer lady who married a man, which, as a bi girl, I'm totally cool with. But I like seeing representation in fictional comics also-- It makes me feel like it's a bigger step to making homosexuality become more accepted. That's just me though.
Anders Loves Maria FTW!!!

Great list... I also love luck kinsley http://lucylou.livejournal.com/ and
tracy white http://traced.com. Both do autobiocomics. Check 'em out!
Thank you so much- ever
Thank you so much- ever since reading this post i have fallen in love with Girls With Slingshots :)
Most comic strips are the boring setup>setup>setup> punchline where nothing ever really develops- but watching Hazel, Jamie, and the crew go through life and change in a humorous, compelling story plot is addicting.
Thanks a lot for the post
Thanks a lot for the post I've been waiting so much.Kate is my hero. I've read an interview with Kate Beaton and I enjoyed her thoughts about the Webcomic Scene:
"The worst thing most people can do making comics is try to make themselves look cool! The internet is a safe haven for a lot of sort of autobio comics about dudes being awesome, hanging out, and saying witty things back and forth. They are also supposed to be funny, but the majority of these are awful, of course."

In Photoshop CS6 Essential Training, Julieanne Kost demonstrates how to produce high-quality images in a short amount of time, using a combination of Adobe Photoshop CS6, Bridge, and Camera Raw.
The course details the Photoshop features and creative options, and shows efficient ways to perform common editing tasks, including noise reduction, shadow and highlight detail recovery, retouching, and combining multiple images. Along the way, the course explores techniques for nondestructive editing and compositing using layers, blending modes, layer masks, and much more.
Adjustment layers are a nondestructive way to make adjustments in Photoshop. You can see that we have an Adjustments panel dedicated to them, and each one of these little icons is a different Adjustment layer. As we roll over the icon, we can either see a tool tip if we hover, or you'll notice that the name changes right up here. So I don't want you to be confused with the adjustments that are found under the Image menu. When you select Image>Adjustments, although a lot of the same names and the same adjustments are listed here, these are going to be permanent changes.
So, for example, if I decide to do something like change the levels in my image, and I'll explain what this dialog box does in a minute, but any change that I make here, when I click OK, the pixels in my image have been changed. The only way to get back to where they were before is either to select Undo right now, Cmd+ or Ctrl+Z or revert the file. So it's a very destructive way of editing, and I prefer to use the Adjustment layers because then I can always change my mind later.
Not only can I change my mind, I can toggle them on and off, so I can make them visible or hide them, I can decrease their strength, I can mask them, and I can even blend them with other layers. So I'm going to add an Adjustment layer using the Adjustment panel and we'll choose the Levels Adjustment. Now, the Level Adjustment looks very similar to the histogram in Adobe Camera RAW, and in fact they are one and the same, and that this histogram right here is a visual representation of all of the pixel values in the image.
The darker values are on the left, and it goes to the lighter values on the right. So I can immediately tell that this image does not have pixels that covers the entire dynamic range. There are no true black pixels in this image, and there are no true white pixels in this image. If I want to extend the dynamic range of the image, I click on the triangle and move it to the right until it's just under where that first pixel shows up on the histogram. Then, I can do the same thing for my white point. I'll click-and-drag until that little slider is right underneath the first pixel in my image.
There's an additional slider in the center. This will change the Gamma of the image. If I move it to the left, my whole image gets lighter. If I move it to the right, the image gets darker. You can see that by just making that small change in Levels, the image is really popping because we've got a bigger dynamic range, and we've added contrast to our image. In fact, let's toggle on and off this adjustment layer by clicking on the Eye Icon next to the Adjustment layer in the Layers panel. Now, if I were to save out this image, if I were to revisit it tomorrow or the next day or next week, I can always come back in here and make additional changes.
So let's say for example that I feel that I've made the image too dark. If I double-click on the Adjustment layer icon, that will automatically display my Properties panel. Now, I can make my adjustment by moving the slider to the left to lighten it up a bit. I'll click on the Properties Tab in order to automatically hide that panel. There are other things that I can change about this Adjustment layer. For example, I could back off on the Opacity a little bit if I thought it was too strong. I could change the Blend modes which we talked about in another video, or I could paint in the mask so that the adjustment only occurs or is only visible in part of the image.
And if I decide at any point in time that I don't like the adjustment, all I need to do is select that layer in the Layers panel, tap the Delete key to delete it. So you can see that Adjustment layers, because they're nondestructive, and because you can go back and re-edit them at any time, they are much, much more powerful than using the destructive edits underneath the Image>Adjustments menu. So we'll stay away from here, and instead, we'll use our Adjustment panel.

This is the 6th Circuit's opinion affirming a district court's award of $300,000 against a child pornography defense expert in the case of Doe and Roe vs Attorney Dean Boland.
The civil claim against Boland arose in relation to his expert testimony and the attendant exhibits prepared for the accused in a pair of separate child pornography cases; one state, the other federal. Boland admits that he took stock photos of children, models from the Internet, and "morphed" them [think photoshop] onto images depicting sexual acts.
[Note: the opinion references Boland's "apology" tendered to the Cleveland Bar Association, wherein he stated, "I do recognize that such images violate federal law."]
The idea, according to Boland, was to demonstrate to a jury the difficulty in ascertaining genuine child pornography. His testimony, combined with the digitally manipulated images he created, were used to create reasonable doubt in the criminal trials. By showing the juries "before and after" images of the children, Boland implied that it was impossible to know for sure whether an accused intended to view genuine child pornography.
His expert trial testimony caught the attention of FBI agents in Cleveland, who then searched and seized his computer, and brought the images to the attention of the parents of the minors depicted in the images.
The parents sued Boland under the civil damage provisions of the federal child pornography statute. The statute liquidates damages in the minimum amount of $150,000.
Initially, the federal court judge granted Boland's motion for summary judgment, ruling that the civil damages provisions of the statute exempt expert witnesses from liability; the Sixth Circuit reversed this decision and remanded the case back to the trial court.
On appeal, Boland's argument that his images were protected by the First Amendment failed. Likewise, his argument that the district court's judgment violated his Sixth Amendment right to the effective assistance of counsel argument also fails. The 6th Circuit's ruling stuck to precedent holding that the evil of child pornography far outweighs it's expressive value, even in the "expert witness" context.
Boland also asserted that such plaintiffs were required to show "actual damages". The Sixth Circuit disagreed, holding that these were no ordinary claims, and that damages of this nature are liquidated precisely in order to minimize the catastrophic nature of any hearings designed to force the victims of child pornography to prove how they were injured.
The Sixth Circuit concluded their very well-reasoned opinion by noting that the $300,000 judgment against Boland was "tough medicine" for an attorney that created the morphed images thinking he was helping the accused; not committing fresh crimes.
The case is notable for the consequences that sprout from certain strains of zealous representation.

Session M39: Drops, Bubbles, and Interfacial Fluid Mechanics I

When condensed droplets coalesce on a superhydrophobic nanostructured surface, the resulting droplet can jump from the surface due to the release of excess surface energy. This behavior has been shown to follow a simple inertial-capillary scaling. However, questions remain regarding the nature of the energy conversion process linking the excess surface energy of the system before coalescence and the kinetic energy of the jumping droplet. Furthermore, the primary energy dissipation mechanisms limiting this jumping behavior remain relatively unexplored. In this work, we present new experimental data from a two-camera setup capturing the trajectory of jumping droplets on nanostructured surfaces with a characteristic surface roughness length scale on the order of 10 nm. Coupled with a model developed to capture the main details of the bridging flow during coalescence, our findings suggest that: 1. the excess surface energy available for jumping is a fraction of that suggested by simple scaling due to incomplete energy transfer, 2. internal viscous dissipation is not a limiting factor on the jumping process at droplet sizes on the order of 10 $\mu$m and 3. jumping performance is strongly affected by forces associated with the external flow and fields around the droplet. This work suggests bounds on the heat transfer performance of superhydrophobic condensation surfaces.

In March, Hubby and I drove to West Virginia for a funeral with some wonderful news. We had just found out we were expecting and couldn't wait to tell everyone..
I'll never forget my Mom's reaction. She was sitting at her laptop, farming on Farmville, and I told her I'd been really tired the past few weeks. She, absent mindedly, said, "oh yeah? I wonder why." And I said, "I know why. I'm going to have a baby."
She looked at me with what I took to be horror, screamed, and rolled her office chair back. I asked why she was recoiling in horror from me (and I was only half joking). She said she wasn't, she was trying to get to me, and couldn't believe it.
It was good times.
Then, in April, only a handful of weeks later, she called with some news of her own.
She had some unusual things going on and mentioned them to her family doctor. After some follow-up visits and tests, she had a diagnosis. She had breast cancer.
My Mom, in typical "my mom" fashion, seemed more worried about how my sister and I would take the news than the fact that she was going through this. She was so positive from the very beginning and had decided on a mastectomy. Keep in mind, this was about 12 weeks before our big family cruise. It was going to take some smooth cutting and quick healing, but we knew she would do it.
I remember what she said to me after she broke the news…she said that she felt much better about it knowing my sister and I were "on board". We really didn't have a choice, but we were all in this together, a family unit, rallying behind our leader.
Her surgery was April 30, and y'all? She didn't even have to stay overnight. She was able to come home right after to recover.
After the cruise, she started chemo and was slated for 6 sessions about 3 weeks apart. I mean, none of us knew what to expect. She did well each and every time. Mom never likes to tell us when she's feeling bad — she never has — so we had to make her promise to tell us. It was hard for me because I didn't have the context that my sister did, being 700 odd miles away. She would get tired, maybe wouldn't eat like normal, but she was a trooper.
When her hair started falling out, she just shaved it. I don't blame her — who would want to clean up all that hair? She got some sassy bandanna and sent pictures to me when she was wig shopping of ridiculous bright red wigs. My Dad shaved his head with her, and continues to do so because it's more comfortable.
Today is a big day, the day of her LAST chemo treatment. She's in the homestretch! Of course, this doesn't mean the end — she has some radiation therapy and then follow-ups for, I assume, years to come. And then she'll also be a survivor for the rest of her life. This kind of experience doesn't' just fade into a distant memory.
I didn't tell many people she was having surgery, other than my in-laws and a handful of friends. It wasn't that I was scared she wouldn't make it or nervous about her treatments, but I couldn't stand the look of pity on people's faces when I told them. "My Mom has breast cancer." "OH I am SO SORRY *super strength sad face*." I always followed it immediately by saying, "BUT SHE'S GOING TO BE FINE. She has a super good attitude about it!" And that's sort of exhausting, multiplying that conversation with everyone I know. So I chose to keep it in, for my own emotional well being more so than hers. That was a little selfish, in hindsight.
It's a different feeling now. I'm elated that she's nearing the end. Our little baby boy, her first grandchild, will be here within 6 weeks, and although he doesn't know it, and may never know it, he's been a source of so much joy and light during what would normally be a very dark time.
I have a family who is literally overflowing with love for one another. That's the best medicine you can ask for.
It's apropos that her final chemotherapy treatment is happening smack dab in the middle of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so I can climb up on my soapbox and preach to y'all a little. Be patient, I climb slowly. Almost there….OK.
Ladies, check yourselves regularly. Don't rely on the doctor doing it yearly. I don't, but I sure well now, you can guarantee that. The American Cancer Society says the 5-year survival rate for all women diagnosed with breast cancer is 89 percent. Most will never have a recurrence. And detected early before it spreads, the 5-year survival rate is 98 percent! So help yourself.
Don't assume it won't happen to you or someone you love, because it will happen to one or another. I promise that if you ask around your office, kid's school, church, wherever, you'll find at least 3 out of 5 people know someone who has breast cancer or has been directly affected by it.
Finally, attitude is everything. It's scary, for sure, but it will make things SO much easier than if you enter into something like this with a terrible attitude.
This is for my Mom, your Moms, aunts, grandmothers, best friends, sisters, real life friends and blog friends who have experienced breast cancer and are fighting the good fight or have kicked it in the tail.
Congrats, Momma! You've done great!

BENTON, Ill. -- Discarded Christmas trees now are at the bottom of southern Illinois' Rend Lake, and conservationists hope the fish enjoy the gift.
The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan reports that workers with the Army Corps of Engineers and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources joined volunteers Wednesday in dumping more than 300 of the bundled-and-weighted trees into the sprawling lake.

The DNR says the trees will provide cover for the fish, and tiny plant and animal organisms will colonize and provide feeding areas for them. That could make those areas prime fishing spots for anglers.

Jefferson Elementary School will provide an After School Program for the 2012-13 school year. This free program is available Monday - Friday from 3:10-5:00 p.m. All students must leave by the cafeteria doors near the playground entrance no later than 5:15 p.m.
Monday through Thursday the After School Program will be held at Jefferson School. On Fridays, transportation will be provided to take students to the YMCA. Students will return to Jefferson School at 5:00.
There will be no After School Program on days that there is no school, early releases for any occasion, and when special events take place after school, such as parent/teacher conferences and family fun night. Parents of attending students will receive a schedule.
The purpose of the program is to provide high-quality, safe, and engaging after school opportunities that will enhance all academic areas, learning and overall development. Students will be divided into three groups every day (for example, gym/homework, science, computer lab).
From time to time, arts and cultural activities, including field trips, will be offered to provide an opportunity for students to be engaged in learning and enrichment activities that can contribute to their academic achievement.
There are approximately 65 students involved in the After School Program. The school also has a waiting list for this program. Attendance is extremely important for this program to be effective. A student will only be allowed to have four unexcused absences before he or she is dismissed from the program. The After School Program is free because Jefferson received a five-year state grant.
For more information please contact the Jefferson Elementary School office at 459-3620.
Jefferson After School Program
Annual Report 2011-2012
A total of 104 students were served at the Jefferson Elementary After School Program in the 2011-2012 academic year.Of the attendees:
- 85% were economically disadvantaged
- Population: 7% Black (not Hispanic), 29% Hispanic, 31% Asian and 33% Caucasian
- 44% were English Language Learners

Kandi Burruss Fiance Funeral-The funeral of the reality TV star Kandi Burruss' ex-fiance, Ashley Jewell who reportedly died last week after succumbing to head injuries during an alleged drunken brawl, took place on Friday. The funeral was attended by Kandi Burruss herself along with several others which included the team cast of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" and friends of late Ashley Jewell. The funeral reportedly took place in Georgia. Jewell was 34.
Inside sources revealed that the moment was quite a heart-breaking one for Kandi, who was involved in a prolonged relationship with Jewell.

Below is the poem entitled Can You Decipher The Message? which was written by poet
Knight. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Darius Knight
During my sleepless nights I often daydream of my dreams,
Each of those fantasies then turn into your face as if you're the theme.
Standing...sitting...holding you puts my mind in a completely different universe,
These feelings I have for you has affects quite opposite of a curse.
Intentionally you see my soul for what it truly can be and already is,
Never would I have thought someone as majestic as you could rid the pain in my heart with
a graceful bliss.
Yet night after night I ponder to myself if you could possibly unlock my heart with a
simple kiss.
Anticipation drives my imagination with an illusion that forms a puzzle that needs to be
put together,
Which in this form of fashion you are the pieces that could make me better.
Are you aware of how sincerely honored I would be to be put on the path of becoming your man?
Is there any logic that could prevent me from attaining that form causing me to become
instead more worthless than sand?
This is just the beginning of my affection and can continue if you'll have me as much as I
want you,
Stay in tune with my mind cause it seems ours have a small connection...so how about you
tell me if I want you as bad as I'm telling you.
