Dager: Ain't no cure for the summertime noise
The weather is warming up and that means one thing: noise. Lots of it.
Sorry to be such a curmudgeon and not wax romantic about barbecues, soirees, luaus and other events that are supposed to be all about summertime fun, but the biggest problem with these celebrations is the accompanying noise.
Don't worry — I haven't forgotten about Independence Day. Neither have my large, manly dogs.
We've only had one of our big guys for about six months, but I suspect both of them will be cowering under my desk, not just July Fourth, but two days prior and two days hence. That's because there's always someone who shoots off fireworks late at night July 2-6, for no other reason other than explosives are awesome.
It's a joke that fireworks aren't supposed to be ignited without a permit in Ventura County, since citizens can easily purchase them and take them home.
OK, so we all had sparklers and small fireworks when we were kids or even when our kids were kids, but now there are way too many beer-fueled jerks lighting M-80s at midnight. Dude, please, if you don't care about the animals, then at least consider that some of us have to get up the next morning and go to work. Also, you could blow yourself up.
There are other, less dangerous excessive-noise issues that come along with summer. I'm not talking about screaming kids playing in the pool during the daytime, the usual barking dogs or parties that take it inside after 10 p.m. or so.
I used to have small children and I still have dogs that occasionally bark at invisible squirrels. We've also had parties that last past our 9 p.m. bedtime. These are acceptable. Not acceptable are people who use warm weather as an excuse to get louder later.
My husband and I had neighbors who would go away on vacation and as soon as they left, their children's friends — all young adults — would pull up to the house with cases of booze. These outdoor parties would go on, sometimes until 3 a.m., with, we assumed, underage drinking.
Not only is this a nuisance but, in some towns, a homeowner can be cited by police for allowing minors to have alcohol in his home whether the homeowner is there or not.
Then there are the "mature" adults who get two-week vacations during summer and party it up without realizing other area residents don't have that same time off.
We had another neighbor whose music and chatter were so loud on weeknights that we'd have to keep the windows closed, which meant more air conditioning use, which meant a higher electric bill for us. Worse, we could still hear them.
I'm sure some of you are saying, "Oh, boohoo, Dager. You're just mad because you weren't invited." Nope, I'd still be in bed early.
I know I'm not the only one suffering through the noise without saying anything to neighbors — or calling police — simply because it's better to keep the peace and wait for the season to end.
We've all seen those cheesy movies with plots that center on what happens after you irk the crazy neighbor. Some of those films aren't so far off in terms of real-life consequences.
If you're the guy with the amazing sound system, wild friends and those illegal fireworks, please take a moment to think about your neighbors — you know, the ones you might need if you ever have an emergency.
If you're the other guy — the neighbor who has to get up the next morning after listening to all that, hey, at least I tried. If you need anything else, I'll be hiding under my desk with two big dogs.

In memoriam: John Hunt, former dean of Arts and Sciences
John Hunt, Professor Emeritus of English and former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, died Monday, March 8. Hunt, an award-winning teacher and scholar, led the college in the immediate aftermath of the university's decision to go co-educational, and left behind a legacy of intellectual vibrancy and diversity that still characterizes the college he headed.
Bobb Carson, who served as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences until his retirement in 2003, remembered Hunt as "a life-long academic with personal roots in the Oklahoma dust bowl and a special love for Southern literature."
"He was also an extraordinary administrator who skillfully and gently bound together the sometimes disparate elements of arts and sciences," Carson recalled. "In his long tenure as dean, he directed significant growth of the College of Arts and Sciences and with it, Lehigh's evolution from a technically dominated institution to a balanced university.
"John oversaw this transformation with enthusiasm, humor, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to liberal arts education. He acquired high-quality faculty dedicated to both teaching and scholarship, and took great joy and satisfaction in their accomplishments and those of their students," Carson said.
"A gentle sense of humor"
Barbara Frankel, Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Anthropology who worked for Hunt for two years as a rotating associate dean, described him as "a rare sort of person in this day and age—a true gentleman.
"His unfailing courtesy to everyone, his genuine affection for his faculty—especially for the ones he had hired over his long tenure as dean—and his continuing scholarly love affair with William Faulkner were qualities I found most enduring," Frankel said.
Pete Beidler, professor of English and longtime colleague of Hunt's, memorialized him as "an excellent teacher and a stellar dean."
"We have had many fine deans at Lehigh," Beidler said, "but John brought to the job a sense of commitment to liberal learning, to the welfare of students, and to excellence in scholarship that was inspiring to all of us. He combined that commitment with a gentle sense of humor that kept us, if not laughing, then smiling."
Hunt came to Lehigh in 1972 and served as dean for 15 years. After stepping aside from the deanship in 1987, he taught in the English department for five years before officially retiring in 1992.
He had earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Oklahoma, and his Ph.D. in theology and literature from the University of Chicago. Prior to coming to Lehigh, he served as a professor of English at Earlham College in Richmond, Ind.
A noted Faulkner scholar, his 1976 book,
William Faulkner: Art in Theological Tension
, is considered an early classic in the field, and is still often cited by Faulkner scholars.
Contributions in John Hunt's honor may be directed to: The William Faulkner Society, c/o Anne Goodwyn Jones, Dept. of English, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611-7310.

We've heard about Erica Mena's new love for a couple of episodes now, and today, it's time to finally meet her. Ladies and gents, it's Cyn Santana.
What we know so far: Cyn has never dated a girl before. Erica is completely smitten with her. And Cyn really loves Chipotle.
Erica takes her out for a sexy meal that does not include a burrito assembly line and Cyn feels very out of place. Also, the cleavage situation on this date is out of control.
Erica is actually pretty adorable in this scene because she's so happy to be with Cyn. She's completely goo-goo-eyed and they pinky swear that even though they don't know where their relationship is going, they'll remain friends no matter what. It's a long way from some of Erica's previous entanglements.

(AP) SEATTLE - Justin Bieber says some of his belongings were stolen during a show in Washington state.
The pop star tweeted to his nearly 29 million followers that he and his tour manager were victimized during the show Tuesday night at the Tacoma Dome. He didn't lay out exactly what was stolen, but referenced a computer and a camera. He said what bothers him the most is that he had a lot of "personal footage" on them.
He adds that "people should respect other's property."
A Tacoma police spokesman says officers are not investigating because no police report has been filed.

Dear Eric
I can't find the mma claims that are shown above. Were they removed? (probably good idea).
But I do like your attitude about self-improvement - that's been a bone of contention for years for me. I think that good martial arts can help people, but I agree with your points below:
Q: Character Development - BEWARE!
A: Many people, especially those choosing a school for their children, often look for schools that teach "character development". This benefit of training is certainly valuable and noble; however, I would urge potential students to be extremely skeptical of any school claiming to "teach character development". I know this may seem to contradict some of my own claims, but let's think about this for a moment... How many martial arts teachers hold advanced degrees in education, psychology, social work, etc...? Even more important than the education, how many are licensed to practice?
At some point, someone in the marketing business noticed a loose correlation between those who practice the martial arts and exceptional judgement, moral standards, etc... It was then that a major campaign began to sell the martial arts as a tool for developing the character. To this day, it remains one of the most successful strategies for luring new students of all ages. Who wouldn't want to improve their character?

Las Cruces Area Quarry Closed
By KRWG News
Las Cruces – Federal officials have closed an old southern New Mexico rock quarry to the public, saying its steep dirt walls are dangerous.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management previously blocked access to the quarry, but said vandals destroyed the barriers.
The land and minerals supervisor at the Las Cruces BLM office, Edward Seum, says Monday's closure announcement in the Federal Register means people can be cited for trespassing.
Seum says loose rocks can fall on people below, and that people climbing on top of the quarry could get too close to the edge, which could give way.
The announcement makes trespassing subject to a fine of up to a $1,000, up to a year in prison or both.
The quarry is near the Prehistoric Trackways National Monument near Las Cruces.

This application is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/234,414, filed Sep. 3, 2002 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,860,422 and titled "Method and Apparatus for Tracking Documents in a Workflow," and is herein incorporated by reference for all purposes.
This application incorporates by reference the entire contents of the following applications for all purposes:
The present application incorporates by reference the entire disclosure of the following patent for all purposes:
The present invention relates generally to workflow systems and more particularly to tracking documents in a workflow system.
During the course of running a business, there are many steps and people involved in each endeavor. Accompanying this activity might be the flow of large numbers of documentation. For example, documents generated by a person or by people in a workgroup often require distribution to other people in the company or among different groups of people. Workflow systems provide a way for managing the flow of numerous documents during the course of a project.
Any substantial project is likely to produce volumes of paperwork. Effective management of a large-scale project requires up to date information. In the case of documents, it is important to know who has what document, how far along a document is in the review process, and so on. This can facilitate identifying critical paths and bottlenecks. It is therefore desirable to be able to enhance a workflow system to improve its utility.
A workflow system and method comprise one or more sensors disposed about an area of the workflow. The sensors detect proximity of a document as it is moved about in the area of the workflow. The information collected is associated with information relating to the document. The workflow system integrates this information with a display of the workflow graph, reflecting the movement of documents in the workflow. The workflow graph can be presented in graphical form, showing a graphical representation of the workflow.
Referring to
A workflow comprises a plurality of stages (nodes of the graph) 212 a-212 c and 214 a-214 c, for example, at which an action is performed on the document(s). Each stage represents a location in the operation where the document can be routed; e.g. someone's office, or some other appropriate location for a particular given operation. The action may be a simple acknowledgment of having received the document, or the action may be something more interactive such as a review and/or editing or other annotation made to the document. The action may be a copy operation, a fax operation, or the like. There can be different kinds of stages. For example, stages 212 a-212 c are examples of simple store and forward stages where a document is received, an action might be performed on the document, and the document is then passed on. Stages 214 a-214 c, for example, are branching stages where the document flow can proceed along alternate paths. The workflow is further defined by edges 202 a-202 d, for example, which connect the stages together to complete the flow graph.
In the particular example shown in
Returning to
The workflow system shown in
It can be appreciated that in a large enterprise, the sensors might very well be distributed over a large geographic area. In such a case, the sensor processing component 104 might comprise a network of local computers where each local computer handles sensors local to that computer. For example, a set of sensors in an office in Paris might be linked to a local computer in that office, while a second local computer might be used to link together the sensors in an office in Tokyo. In such cases, it is understood that an element (e.g., sensor 108 c shown in
In accordance with this embodiment of the invention, each sensor 108 i is sensitive to proximity of one or more documents being routed in a workflow. In a particular implementation of this embodiment of the invention, a radio frequency identification (RFID) system constitutes the sensor subsystem. RFID is a versatile wireless solution for identification. It has a wide range of applications, from tracking books in a library to monitoring the movement of cattle on a ranch.
Referring for a moment to
Often, the antenna component 313 is packaged with a transceiver component 312 which typically includes a decoder module. This combination is referred to variously as a reader, an interrogator, and soon. In operation, the reader can emit radio waves 322 (interrogation signal) in ranges of anywhere from one inch to several feet or more, depending upon its power output and the radio frequency used. The transceiver component produces the interrogation signal which is then propagated by the antenna component.
When an RFID tag passes through the electromagnetic zone of the interrogation signal, it responds to that signal and produces a response signal 316 which is picked up by the antenna component 313 and fed to the transceiver component 312. The decoder module in the transceiver decodes the response signal to extract the data encoded in the tag and the data is passed to a host computer for subsequent processing.
RFID tags come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Some tags can only be read, while other tags can be read and written. For example, a product called the MU-chip by Hitachi, Ltd., is a 0.4 mm2 chip that is thin enough (about 60 μm) to be embedded in paper, and contains a read-only memory (ROM) of 128 bits.
RFID tags are categorized as either active or passive. Active RFID tags are powered by an internal battery and are typically read/write, i.e., tag data can be rewritten and/or modified. The battery-supplied power of an active tag generally gives it a longer read range. The trade off of course is greater size, greater cost, and a limited operational life due to the limited life of the battery. Nonetheless, it can be appreciated that active tags can be useful in the present invention under appropriate operational requirements.
Passive RFID tags operate without a separate external power source and obtain operating power generated from the interrogation signal transmitted from the reader. Passive tags are consequently much lighter than active tags, less expensive, and offer a virtually unlimited operational lifetime. The trade off is that they have shorter read ranges than active tags and require a higher-powered reader. Read-only tags are typically passive and are programmed with a unique set of data (usually 32 to 128 bits) that cannot be modified. For example, the Hitachi MU-chip comes preprogrammed with a 128 bit data word.
In accordance with the present invention, physical documents have one or more RFID tags physically associated with them. Such documents can be referred to as "tagged documents." A plethora of attachment processes are possible. An RFID tag can be attached by the use of adhesives. A clip which gathers together a multi-page document can be provided with an RFID tag. For example, a paper clip may-incorporate a tag, or a staple can be incorporated with a tag.
The attachment can be manual, or by automation. For example, a copying machine can be outfitted with RFID tagged staples or a dispenser of adhesive tags, so that stapled copies can be tagged by way of the staple, or single-page copies can be tagged with an adhesive tag. RFID tags (e.g., Hitachi MU-chip) can be embedded in the paper medium itself ("tagged paper").
In accordance with this particular implementation of an embodiment of the invention, each RFID tag is associated with a unique identification, referred to herein as a "tag identifier." Furthermore, when a tag is physically associated with a physical document, there is an association between the tag identifier and "document information" relating to the physical document. The document information might comprise an electronic copy of the physical document, an image of the document, a reference which identifies the physical or an electronic form of document, a reference identifying where an electronic copy of the physical document can be found, references to other documents, and so on. The document information might include information indicative of permissions, for example, whether a document can be copied or not. The document information might include ownership information, document modification history information. In general, one can appreciate that any kind of information may constitute "document information."
The document information can be collected at the time of creation of the document; e.g., when the document is printed, copied, faxed, or otherwise processed. The document information can be an accumulation of information collected during the lifetime of the document such as when modifications are made, or when copies are made, for example. A database system (not shown) can be provided to store such information, or other suitable information management system. The database or information management system can be used to provide the mapping between tag identifier and document information.
Returning to
The workflow processing component 102 is in data communication with the sensor processing component 104 via communication channel 112. Communication between the workflow processor and the sensor processor can be provided by any of a number of known communication techniques. In one embodiment of the invention, the two processing components could be subsystems in the same computer system. On the other hand, in a large enterprise where a distributed architecture may be more appropriate, the sensor processing component may comprise a plurality of local computer systems, each receiving tag information from its associated RFID tags.
The sensor processing component 104 transmits to the workflow processor 102 information indicative of the sensed (detected) document(s) and information representative of the location where the document(s) were sensed. Alternatively, the sensor processing component might transmit to the workflow processor the tag identifier along with information indicative of the sensor 108 i that received the information. The workflow processor can then make the necessary mappings to obtain a document identifier and its physical location. In a distributed environment comprising plural sensor processing computers, some of the sensor processors may provide the mapped information to the workflow processor, while other sensor processors might transmit the "raw" data to the workflow processor.
Assuming the workflow processor 102 is in possession of information relating to a document and information indicative of its location, the information can be used to enhance the workflow graph. Referring to
As an example, in
At a step 406, the tag identifier is associated with the document. This can be accomplished using information contained in a database 122, for example containing a mapping between tag identifiers and document identifiers.
Certain actions can be taken on the document at steps 408 and 410. For example, the recipient may simply acknowledge receipt of the document. The user may annotate or otherwise modify the document; e.g., by associating other documents with it, and so on. The user interface 106 i can provide the necessary access and functionality to effect such actions. These actions can then be associated with the tag identifier by the workflow processing component 102.
The user can enter a display command at a step 412 to display all or a portion of the workflow. The user might submit a command to display the current location of a particular document or documents. At a step 414, the association among the information made in the foregoing steps can be used to identify the location(s) of the document(s). The workflow can then be displayed where those stage(s) corresponding to the identified location(s) are highlighted in an appropriate manner to show their current locations. If tracking history is desired, then in a step 416 the workflow graph can be displayed in a manner to highlight the flow of the document in the workflow graph.
Similarly, a printer 504 having a sensor 508 b can detect printing of material. Stock paper, having physically associated with it one or more tags, can be detected by the sensor when processing a print job sent by a PC 510. A communication link 514 from the printer and the PC can provide to the sensor processing component 104 information indicating the tag identifier and the document being printed. This establishes the existence of the printed document, and subsequent tracking of the document in the workflow. In addition, the action of the printing of the document can be associated with the document, and subsequently displayed to a user in the manner discussed above (see, e.g.,
The element 504 can also represent a scanner device having a sensor 508 b. When a tagged document is scanned, the sensor can detect the tag of the scanned document and communicate the tag identifier to the sensor processing component 104. The scanned data is stored in the PC as a document. A document identifier can be communicated to the sensor processing component to be associated with the tag identifier. In this way, a tagged document in the workflow can be converted to electronic form. This action of scanning can be captured and associated with the document.
Users would scan a re-writable RFID chip 602 a contained in the document 602 using a suitable device 612 (more abstractly referred to as a workflow appliance). The workflow appliance can include a CPU (central processing unit) or other similar data processing component 622, a memory component 624, a display 626, and a device 628 for reading and-writing the RFID chip 602 a and to provide user services such as logging in and so on. The workflow description 614 can be downloaded from the RFID chip to the workflow appliance which displays the workflow diagram. The display can indicate where the document is in that diagram and what actions the user could take on that document. After the user takes one of those actions, it is recorded on the chip and the diagram is updated and rewritten on the chip. That data can optionally be encrypted with the next receiver's public key. When that user opens the document, he can decrypt it with his private key.
If the workflow description language is in a standard format, users of an autonomous workflow system can easily process documents produced by different service providers. For example, Blue Cross might use an Oracle Workflow system for their medical claim forms and Cigna might use an IBM system. However, the workflow appliance in a Doctor's office does not need to know that. The information added to the form, such as the name, address, and diagnosis code for the patient, can be recorded on the chip using the standard format.
A further aspect of the various embodiments of the present invention include information recorded on the re-writable RFID tag 602 a to direct the user to take certain actions. This provides a certain level of autonomous behavior in the document, where the document can require the recipient of the document to take actions in a context-directed manner. Information can be written to the RFID tag 602 a along the way in the workflow at its various stops by a backend workflow server. The information in the RFID can be updated at each stop, or only at certain stops, depending on the situation. In an extreme case, the RFID can contain the entire workflow in which case the document is in essence a fully autonomous document, instructing it's recipients (via an appropriately configured workflow appliance) where the next stop is, or what the next action is.
For example, the fragment of a workflow diagram 700 depicted in
An external workflow system can be informed of this updated workflow diagram either online, or asynchronously (e.g., via an email message), or not at all. Since the updated diagram is carried in the chip 602 a, a network connection is not required when the document's information is updated. This can be a significant advantage since the physical location where the update occurs does not need to be equipped with a network connection. In fact, a simple workflow status-updating appliance is sufficient.
The workflow appliance reads the standard workflow description from the chip, determines the actions that are possible, displays those actions to the user, provides a means for the user to enter the result of such an action, and rewrites the memory of the chip to indicate the action that was performed. For example, the workflow appliance 612 shown in

District B 13 (French title Banlieue 13 or B13), is a 2004 French action film, directed by Pierre Morel and written and produced by Luc Besson.[2] The film is notable for its depiction of parkour in a number of stunt sequences that were completed without the use of wires or computer generated effects. Because of this, some film critics have drawn comparisons to the popular Thai film Ong-Bak.[3][4][5] David Belle, regarded as the founder of parkour, plays Leïto, one of the protagonists in the film.
In 2010, social problems have overrun the poorer suburbs of Paris; especially Banlieue 13, commonly referred to as B13: a ghetto with a population of some two million. Unable to control B13, the authorities construct a high wall topped by barbed tape around the entire area, forcing the inhabitants within to survive without education, proper utilities or police protection behind the containment wall. Police checkpoints stop anybody going in or out. Three years later, the district has become overrun with gangs. Leïto (David Belle) is a fighter of such gangs. The beginning of the film depicts Leïto washing a case full of drugs down the drain, then escaping the gang who has come to collect the drugs. The gang's leader, Taha, kidnaps Leïto's sister Lola in retaliation; Leïto is able to rescue her and take Taha to the police station, but the police arrest Leïto and let Taha leave with Lola, stating that they're leaving the district.
Six months later, in Paris, Damien - an undercover cop - completes a successful operation at a casino, and is immediately given a new assignment: Taha's gang has taken a bomb from a nuclear transport vehicle and accidentally activated it, giving it 24 hours before it wipes out the district. Damien, posing as a prisoner, must infiltrate the district and disarm the bomb; he teams up with Leïto to do so. Leïto immediately sees through Damien's cover, but the two reluctantly team up to save Leïto's sister as well. The pair surrenders to Taha in order to gain access to his base, where they find the bomb has been set up on a missile launcher aimed at Paris, with Lola handcuffed to it. Taha demands a high ransom to deactivate the bomb; the government refuses, but after Damien gives them Taha's bank account codes, they drain his funds. Damien and Leïto escape, while Taha is killed by his own men when they realize he will be unable to pay them. The much more benevolent K2 takes over and allows Damien and Leïto to stop the bomb.
After fighting their way to the building, Damien calls his contact to receive the deactivation code, but after recognizing certain symbols in the code, Leïto deduces that the government has set them up and the code will actually detonate the bomb instead of deactivating it. After Damien and Leïto fight, Lola is able to restrain Damien long enough for the timer on the bomb to run out. The bomb does not explode, proving Leïto right. The pair return to the government building with the bomb and use it to force the government agent to admit that he had planned to blow up B13 as a means to get rid of it, catching it on camera and broadcasting it on national TV. Soon the rest of the government promises to tear down the containment wall and bring back schools and police to B13. Leïto and Damien depart as friends, and Lola kisses Damien to encourage him to visit B13 in the future.

(NBC News) Eleven days into the partial government shutdown and with just six days before possible default, it looks like real progress is finally being made in Washington.
Republicans are suddenly eager to make a deal to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling.
The change appears to be motivated by a wave of polls that show Republicans getting hammered for the shutdown.
Senate GOP lawmakers went to the White House Friday to discuss a possible deal with President Obama.
Still, Tea Party conservatives still pose an obstacle.
Speaking at the Value Voters Summit, Senator Ted Cruz told his supporters that now is the time to "stand strong".

Police say nine students were arrested after a melee erupted outside the student center at Syracuse University following a dance.
Syracuse Police Sgt. Tom Connellan says hundreds of students were leaving the center and numerous fights were going on when officers arrived at 1:40 a.m. Sunday. When police tried to disperse the unruly crowd, Connellan says they were met with strong resistance.
Connellan said officers arrested nine Syracuse University students on a variety of charges including disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstruction of government administration.
The cause of the fights is still under investigation.

Invest in fresh flowers for a party.
Toronto designer Philip Mitchell doesn't cheap out on faux flowers for the holidays — he can't resist the fresh scents of pine and fresh flowers. "My partner Mark and I generally entertain a great deal and there's something wonderful about fresh greens/flowers throughout our home and office," he says. "Though it's more expensive and a little more work to maintain the scent and texture of fresh pine, flowers and magnolia leaves, they definitely complete our holiday decorating. We lean towards mostly green and red flowers (like these amaryllis) during the holidays — being traditionalists at heart."
For more on amaryllis holiday flowers, watch this video. Plus, see our Designers' Holiday Decorating Tips photo gallery.

After a three month investigation, VDOT still doesn't know why there's been a spike in crashes on the James River Bridge.
"At that this time the cause of the crashes are inconclusive. There's no structural deficiencies found in the grid deck so far, based on skit testing that was performed," officials say.
VDOT officials say they noticed more crashes were happening after the installation of the new grid deck.
They say twenty crashes took place February through July.
They also say most of them happened while heading southbound in wet weather and involved light trucks or SUVs.
In early July, a 20-year-old woman died after crashing her SUV while driving over the grid deck in the rain.
Although VDOT officials don't know the exact cause of that crash or any of the others, they believe speed and weather played a role.
That's why they say they will put up more signs and install steel studs on the grid deck – something they say will create more friction on the surface making it less slippery.
"We have started the procurement process so we should be in a position to award a contract in the first part of August," officials say.

Massive study finds only 3.4% of American adults identify as LGBT
A massive new survey published this morning reveals that only 3.4% of American adults publicly identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, with the highest percentagecoming among the younger, less-educated non-whites.
The new Gallup Poll of more than 121,000 adults, the largest of its kind on record, wass conducted during the past four months. It finds the percentage of self-reported LGBT Americans to be much smaller than a general impression derived from their presence in popular culture and their perceived influence in liberal American politics.
Limbaugh: Media will stifle Mitt at next debate
Lehrer, the moderator of last week's presidential debate in Denver comes under continued fire from his professional colleagues, radio giant Rush Limbaugh is predicting a different tack by the media in charge of the next debate between President Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
"Here's the thing to look out for. The thing to look out for is the moderator in the next debate," Limbaugh said Tuesday afternoon.
Open letter to swing state voters: Presidential Election 2012… ("So, it was and is unfathomable to me that anyone — unless they are receiving a huge influx of taxpayer money from Obama's syndicate……..")
By Sher Zieve
Dear residents of the US "Swing States":
Recently, the albeit strongly skewed-to-the-left polls in your States favor Dictator-in-Chief Obama. As this non-working-and-questionable-president of the United States' abject and highly-visible destruction of massive portions of our nation's small-to-medium-sized businesses (and the attendant millions of jobs losses for the middle class) and his restrictions and/or elimination of our ability to produce any energy (think coal) to sustain our lives have been put into place via his Draconian policies, I found this claim to be both bizarre and patently insane. The question I continued to ask myself is "do the American people really and truly want to be slaves to Obama and his Marxist government? Why in the world would any sane human want that?" I could find no workable reason to explain anyone voting for and reelecting someone into office who has (in his first term) exhibited such perceptible disdain for the USA, its people and every one of its/our foundation principles — including our founding documents the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.
GALLUP: One Of Republicans' Biggest Advantages Has Evaporated At The Worst Possible Time
Democratic enthusiasm has surged both in swing states and nationally, according to a new Gallup poll, topping Republican enthusiasm and, in the process, wiping out what was thought to be a major advantage for Republicans and presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

essentially, a veiled warning to the Obama gang about tinkering with unemployment numbers, Obama's DOJ jumped, jackboots first, into a multi-million dollar legal actionagainst Gallup, in a case initiated by a former Obama operative.
A Clear and Present Threat
A new Gallup poll shows that forty-six percent of Americans believe the federal government "poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens."
The other fifty-four percent? Obviously they aren't paying attention to what's happening in their country.
At first glance, this statistic has barely budged from where it was four years ago – when Democrats seized control of the U.S. Congress. A look at the partisan breakdown of respondents tells a different story, however.
Just prior to the 2006 elections, fifty-seven percent of Democrats felt threatened by the government compared to just 21 percent of Republicans. Today those numbers have flip-flopped – with sixty-six percent of Republicans feeling threatened compared to only 21 percent of Democrats.
Meanwhile, the number of independents who feel threatened by the government has remained steady at roughly 50 percent – although that number is seven points higher than when Gallup first asked this question in 2003.
This data highlights several political truisms – most notably the ability of absolute power to corrupt absolutely no matter which party is in charge, as well as the misplaced faith that certain segments of the electorate still place in the two-party system.

Walayee Poet Lay Whitlock-Ishway
Ironically, the "peace" you seek
I sought too
Only not in a dream
This is the reality I choose
Here, there are no "daiquiris"
Or "dancing"
No loveless romancing
No more chasing chances
Hoping that love enhances
In a heart that's bare
One that shows
No compassion, No care
And especially when it counts
Never being there
With words of love
I never hear
My peace has
No expectations of tomorrow
Waking with sorrows
Created by torturous choices
Ignorantly ignoring inner intuition,
Inner voices
My peace won't allow my heart to lead
While my mind grieves
Or let my body's desires
Make me weak
In the search for unattainable love I seek
In my reality I'm happy
I have found peace...

Mobile Deathcamp readies new albumWritten by Mighty Wyte (Matt Feher) | | email@example.com
Mobile Deathcamp is a wicked national band from Toledo — a working, touring metal band with a record deal and a new album.
"Clear and Present Anger" officially releases this November on Turkey Vulture Records. To avoid relying wholly on any record label, MDC has been digitally distributing the album via online distributors and mobiledeathcamp.net.
During a recent interview with the band at its practice location, guitarist/vocalist Todd Evans spoke to the addition of drummer Dave Martin.
"Dave joined Boe [Skadeland] and me back in April. We worked with Dave so that he could play 50 minutes of the older songs with us. Once he was caught up we started working on new music," he said.
According to MDC bassist Skadeland, the music on the new album is "better than the last batch." With the sophomore slump vanquished, MDC's new material pounds face.
"We feel that this record captures the energy and spirit of early speed metal," Evans said.
What's the difference between this and the last album?
"Well, for starters, we're eating more Mexican food now that Dave is in the band," Evans laughed. "But seriously, Dave has 'punk foot' and that's really let us step things up. The new music is definitely more intense than the last."
With its new "punk foot" drummer, MDC's new record captures the speed metal sound when it was at a critical crossover point.
"People who like Slayer, Agnostic Front, D.R.I. will like this record. It sounds like speed metal when it first broke, before it was considered thrash metal," Evans said.
MDC is focusing on one of the hardest things to conquer — its hometown.
"We are always letting people know where we come from. When we go out and tour we're always wearing something that says 'Toledo'," Evans said. "We are just trying to gain mutual support here."
MDC made sure to include at least one radio-ready single on its new album.
"We covered Thin Lizzy's 'Emerald' on this record," Skadeland said. "There's no reason this shouldn't be all over 104.7 or The Riff. It's radio-friendly and fits their formats perfectly."
MDC will resume touring this fall, starting with its record release show slated for early November.
"We are going to start touring again and our goal is to hitch our trailer to another big band's hitch," Evans said. "We want to be able to roll into a town like Wichita on a Tuesday night and play for a large crowd."

Last Friday, I caught tweets by two environmental reporters who seemed to cast a jaundiced eye on a sweepstakes launched by the Obama re-election campaign. The competition offers people that complete an online registration form the chance to win a ticket to a dinner attended by the president and hosted by George Clooney. Donations are encouraged, but not required, although donations on subsequent days will "purchase" additional entries to the competition.
My first instinct was that the sweepstakes was a joke. It seemed such a cheesy idea, à la the Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! rom-com of a few years ago. However, it's real, and continues through April 30.
That got me thinking — if women who are generally supportive of the president think this is a silly idea that tarnishes the presidential brand, what must the general response be? I dug further in Twitter, and while I saw many excited postings, and a lot of jokes, I also saw some who, like me, thought the competition belittled the dignity of the president as well as women voters:
I hate to see our political process turned into a joke. No matter how much I may disagree with some of their policies, I cringed at the public humiliation endured by the GOP candidates during their reality show-debates. For all that I thought President Obama's appearance this week with Jimmy Fallon was funny, it still bothers me that he must stoop to "slow jam the news" to communicate with the younger electorate. When candidate Clinton played his saxophone on late-night TV, it was something he did for attention, but he pandered less to the public after his election. Watch the brilliant 1976 movie Network, so oddly prescient in its depiction of TV news as entertainment. What then seemed extreme is now the norm — the satire has become reality.
For more information on the reaction to the Clooney sweepstakes, I decided to use a software application from a Sterling client, Attensity, to pull top-line sentiment over five days. I pulled about about 17.5 million comments in social media, with discussion peaking at over six million comments on April 20,, the day after the Clooney sweepstakes launch. The sentiment was more balanced than I expected, with positive reaction more than double the negative.
The Obama camp is lauded for its acumen in using social media and email to engage with supporters. In this case, though, I believe they've made a mistake: They've overused the new addresses they acquired through the sweepstakes. I registered for the contest; it was time I made another campaign contribution and hey, you never know! Since then, I've received an email every day asking me to chip in another donation in order to increase my chances of winning a ticket to the dinner. It doesn't matter to me that some of the messages come in the name of the First Couple; if the frequency of communication does not diminish, I will unsubscribe — but only after winner notification on May 4th!
When you launch a contest, you need to consider a number of things: What is your end goal for it? Is it to get people talking? To spur people into giving their contact information to expand your database of supporters? To secure donations? The real question is, "Are these people going to remain committed after the contest has finished?" Too often, they "like" your Facebook page or sign up to receive your newsletter only to get that free ticket or chance at an iPhone. Call them what you please but they are not true fans, friends or followers. They won't recommend your product or service, or canvas potential voters.
In the case of the Obama-Clooney dinner, I venture to guess that many of the people who registered on the site will not turn into committed campaigners. They were attracted to the star combination, and once the event has passed, will hit "unsubscribe." However, in the short term, the Clooney name has managed to grow the Obama 2012 database and bring in more donations, so can be touted as a success.
In summary:
- Be sure that your contest is consistent with your brand image.
- Recognize that many of your contest entrants are fair-weather followers, so be careful about making decisions based on the new subscriber base.
- Be careful not to over-communicate, as incentive-focused subscribers will have a low threshold for messages.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Bhelen plays an important role in both the Dwarven Noble origin and the "A Paragon of Her Kind" quest. Prince Bhelen is the third son of King Endrin, and is greatly overshadowed by his older brother and presumed heir to the throne, Trian, as well as the Dwarven Noble player character who is an heroic warrior and Endrin's favourite. Bhelen attempted to convince his second brother that, jealous of his prowess in battle and afraid he may be passed up for the throne, Trian plans to murder him. The Dwarf Noble is sent t to The Deep Roads to recover the Shield of Aeducan, but on recovering it is ambushed by a group of mercenaries bearing Trian's Aeducan signet ring (although they were actually working for Bhelen). Depending on whether the player chose to believe Bhelen that Trian was plotting to murder him, or not the Dwarf Noble will either find Trian waiting to confront he/she, or Trian's corpse. As the Dwarf Noble is standing over Trian's body Bhelen arrives accusing the Noble of murdering Trian, resulting in the Noble being convicted as a kinslayer and sent to the Deep Roads to die (where he/she is recruited by Duncan to the Grey Wardens). When the Warden arrives in Orzammar, the city is on the brink of civil war between Bhelen and Lord Harrowmont. King Endrin has died, but there is dispute over who he chose to succeed him. The warden can choose to support either Bhelen or Harrowmont, if Bhelen has the Warden's support he becomes Orzammar's king and bring a bout a new, less insular age for Orzammar with a great deal more trade to the surface; if the Warden supports Harrowmont Bhelen dies in a last-ditch attempt to take the throne by force.

Leonce Raphael Agbodjélou: Les Fantomes
Leonce Raphael Agbodjélou has built on his reputation as one of the best photographers of street life in modern Africa – its colours, contrasts and cultural collisions – and produced a spectacular series of shots focusing on the voodoo rites and rituals of his native Benin, wherein he cleverly brings the shadowy mysterious ceremonial costumes into unflinching daylight. Is he questioning perhaps the potency and enduring popular appeal of these beliefs, or merely re-enforcing how much a part of everyday life they are in west Africa? The work is part of strong group show at the dynamic Jack Bell Gallery, which runs until October 29.

Friday, November 04, 2011

Center for Green Schools UTC Fellow for Sacramento City Unified School District
There is no better way to start the Halloween weekend than to celebrate the opening of a community garden. Saturday, Oct. 29 was a beautiful crisp fall morning at Camellia Basic Elementary School, where I had the honor of participating in the ribbon cutting event for the new community garden. Through a wonderful partnership between the school's PTA, Sacramento's Parks and Recreation Department and neighborhood community organizations over the past three years, the garden has been completed and ready for seeds. The garden has a tool shed, one large raised bed, picnic tables, compost bins and 12 large garden plots, six of which are designated for the schools use.
Ribbon cutting
City Councilman Kevin McCarty hosted the event demonstrating his dedication to community gardens across his district and the city. I was happy to be on hand representing the superintendent's office to show our support for gardens and the experiential learning they make possible. The Camellia Basic principal, Kathy Kingsbury, was overjoyed that all the hard work had finally come to fruition and the students would soon be benefiting from the partnerships that were developed. Bill Maynard, city parks and recreation garden coordinator, was a central leader in pulling the project together. Bill spoke about the possible benefits for the neighborhood community and the partnerships and friendships developed throughout the process. Laura Rios represented the Camellia Basic PTA and after three years of hard work to get the garden project in place, she was elated with the final product.
The event was completed with the official ribbon cutting and opening of the garden. However, this was not the conclusion of the day's celebrations; it may have been considered by some as the beginning. Following the ribbon cutting event, everyone moved over to the Camellia Basic fall festival. Students, families, and community members gathered to celebrate the harvest season with food, games and activities focused on the changing season. I give the caramel apples two thumbs up!

Funky fit
Very nicely made tankini, but it has a real weird fit through the bustline.
I ordered my typical size which fit everywhere else. But the cups were quite stiff--leaving an unacceptable gap. A smaller size might have been the answer, but I don't think so.

KC Wizards fire Gansler
Bob Gansler who coached the USA in the 1990 World Cup and also led the Kansas City Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup title just a season after being the league's second worst team has been fired and replaced by former player Brian Bliss. Gansler is one the best American coaches having qualified the US for the 1990 World Cup against long odds with a bunch of young college age players, and has done a remarkable job coaching in the A-league and MLS. Gansler cannot be blamed for the fact that KC's best players Eddie Johnson, Josh Wolff and Jimmy Conrad missed almost two months due to the World Cup but nonetheless mangment has held him responsible and he is now looking for work.

The HealthVault team has made available Windows Phone 7 library that would enable developers to write Windows Phone 7 applications that connect directly to the HealthVault service allowing interaction with a user's personally controlled health record.
Microsoft HealthVault is a trusted place for people to organize, store, and share health information online. The service helps you monitor chronic conditions a little more easily.
The mobile support is built upon a capability called SODA. The developer registers an master application using the Application Configuration Center and marks that application as a SODA application. This enables the mobile application to create child applications using this master application. To provide the most flexibility and the least resource consumption, any operations that talk to the HealthVault service are asynchronous.
The process of the mobile application getting set up to use the HealthVault service is known as provisioning, and consists of the following steps:
Obtaining child application information
Creating and authorizing the application
- Connecting and obtaining user information
The folks at Akvelon have released an awesome Health Guard on the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace already. The application enables people to access their HealthVault account data on the go and allows users to personally add new measurements and health information.
