Wit (also styled as W;t) is a one-act play written by American playwright Margaret Edson, which won the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Edson used her work experience in a hospital as part of the inspiration for her play.[1][2]
Wit received its world premiere at South Coast Repertory, Costa Mesa, California, in 1995.[3]
Long Wharf Theater in New Haven, Connecticut subsequently staged the play in November 1997, with Kathleen Chalfant in the lead role of Vivian Bearing.[4][5] The play received its first New York City production Off-Broadway in September 1998, at the MCC Theater, with Chalfant reprising her role as Vivian Bearing and direction by Derek Anson Jones.[1] An excerpt from the play was published in the New York Times in September 1998.[6] Chalfant received strong praise for her performance. She also incorporated her own life experience into her work on the play, including the final illness and death of her brother Alan Palmer from cancer.[7] The play moved to the Union Square Theater in December 1998, after its successful initial run in New York City.[8] The lighting design for this production was by Michael Chybowski, the set design by Myung Hee Cho, the costume design by Ilona Somogyi, and the sound design and original music was by David Van Tieghem.
The Manhattan Theatre Club presented the Broadway premiere at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre in a three-month run, starting in January 2012 and closing on March 17, 2012.[9] The production starred Cynthia Nixon and was directed by Lynne Meadow. The set design was by Santo Loquasto, costume design was by Jennifer von Mayrhauser, lighting design was by Peter Kaczorowski.[10][11]
On the cover of the published book of the play, the use of a semicolon in place of the letter i gives W;t as one representation of the play's title. In the context of the play, the semicolon refers to the recurring theme of the use of a semicolon versus a comma in one of John Donne's Holy Sonnets. Both Wit and W;t have been used in various articles on the play for the title.
Elizabeth Klaver has discussed in detail the philosophical issues of "mind vs body" in the context of Wit.[12]
The action of the play takes place during the final hours of Dr Vivian Bearing, a university professor of English, dying of ovarian cancer. She recalls the initial diagnosis of Stage IV metastatic ovarian cancer from her oncologist, Dr Harvey Kelekian. Dr Kelekian then proposes an experimental chemotherapeutic treatment regimen consisting of eight rounds at full dosage. Vivian agrees to the treatment.
Over the course of the play, Vivian reflects on her life through the intricacies of the English language, especially the use of wit in the metaphysical poetry of John Donne. Throughout the play, she recites Donne's Holy Sonnet X, "Death Be Not Proud," while reflecting upon her condition. (In the revised edition of John Donne's Holy Sonnets, "If Poysonous Mineralls" and "Death Be Not Proud" are sonnets IX and X, respectively.) As a professor, she has a reputation for rigorous teaching methods. She has lived her life alone, is unmarried and without children, her parents are deceased, and she has no emergency contact.
Vivian recalls undergoing tests by various medical technicians and being the subject of grand rounds. She remembers sharing a love of language and books with her father. She flashes back to her experiences as a student of Dr E. M. Ashford, an expert on John Donne. Bearing later finds herself under the care of Dr Jason Posner, an oncology research fellow who has taken her class on John Donne. At the hospital, she recognizes that doctors are interested in her for her research value and, like her, tend to ignore humanity in favor of knowledge. Gradually, she realizes that she would prefer kindness to intellectualism.
Vivian reaches the end stage in extreme pain as Susie Monahan, a nurse at the medical centre, offers Vivian compassion and discusses with her the option of exercising her final option, "do not resuscitate" (DNR), in case of a severe decline in her condition. Vivian decides to mark the DNR option. Dr Ashford, in town for her great-grandson's birthday, visits the hospital after learning of Vivian's cancer. She comforts her and offers to read a Donne sonnet, but Vivian, scarcely conscious, declines. Instead, Ashford reads from Margaret Wise Brown's The Runaway Bunny, which she had bought for her great-grandson. Dr Ashford disappears from the script without any exit.
When Vivian flatlines, Jason tries to resuscitate her, and calls in a medical team to administer CPR. Susie tries to stop him, pointing out the DNR instruction. Jason eventually realizes his mistake and calls for the CPR team to stop. The play ends as Vivian, unclothed after her death, walks from her hospital bed "toward a little light".

Wit won the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.[13] The play also received the "Best New Play" award for 1999 from the New York Drama Critics' Circle.[14] Because the play did not receive a production at a Broadway theatre, Wit was not eligible for the Tony Awards at that time.[15] Chalfant received an award from the Village Voice Obies for her performance.
The 2012 Broadway production was nominated for the Tony Award, Best Revival of a Play, and Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play (Cynthia Nixon).[16]
In 2001, the play was adapted into an Emmy Award-winning cable television film, directed by Mike Nichols with Emma Thompson as Vivian Bearing.

I absolutely love this concealer. Its amazing. Its a little greasy but i just put it in the fridge for about a half hour before using it and it makes it less greasy and more thick. It covers everything with just a drop of product. A little goes such a long way with this amazing product.

I purchased this product because I heard it is great for covering acne and/or acne scars, which I have a lot of. It is very cheap, about $6 at WalMart. It does its job, it does cover and it covers well. However, it is SO thick, it almost feels like spackle on your face. I'm almost afraid to use it all over my face for fear of it clogging my pores and breaking me out. I usually just spot it on my larger pimples. And I was also very disappointed on how it blends... it doesn't! It's very hard to blend out and it's hard to make it look natural. Also, the color choices are awful. I have olive skin, so I figured I'd go with the medium color. It was WAY too light for me and I had to return it and purchase the darkest shade, which is still a little too light!

Definitely an excellent coverage for a drugstore product. The thing that put me off was how greasy this product was! I tried using it for my dark undereye circles but the product was oily and my skin was oily so it just did not last on my face very long. There are only a few shades and even the darkest one is not a match for me. I didn't want to just toss it so I made it work by turning into a color corrector and use it under make up now because it does cover darkness well. Would not recommend for oily skin whatsoever!

Absolutely love this concealer! I've been looking for 2 years for a concealer That will cover my horrible dark under eyes and this concealer does it. It's great because a little goes a long way so I don't have I keep spending my money on concealer every 1-2 months. The only reason why I gave it a 4/5 is because of the shades. If you're darker then there won't be a shade for you. I'm 130 in maybelline fit me foundation so I'm pretty light and I had to but the last shade in this concealer to go with my skin. Not sure what I'm gonna do when I get tanned but this really is amazing if you can get a shade That'll work for you

I'm a little on the fence with this product. It's cheap, easy to find and super thick. However, I purchased the lightest shade and all I need it a pin drop to cover each undereye. It's literally off white on my skin, but it is also very greasy - which I dislike. It stays on remotely well (I always apply ELF's undereye setting powder too) The tube is nice and sanitary. I still need to play around with the application.. I feel like it just gives a white cast on the undereyes but dare I apply anymore because I don't want it to cake up!

I bought this stuff on a whim at Wal-Mart before reading any reviews *gasp* which I NEVER do. It comes in a hygienic squeeze tube and a little concealer pencil is also included in the package. First off, this stuff is the thickest concealer I've ever used. It's a little greasy too, and make sure you blend it fast and really well. That being said, it covers even the nastiest of my breakouts - which are few and far between, but horrible when it happens. I use it to cover redness and under my eyes mostly and love it. A little goes a LONG way - about a pea-sized amount will cover all blemishes, dark circles and redness on your face. The ingredients are a little iffy and I'm shocked it didn't break me out since my skin is pretty sensitive, but I'm not complaining. I just use the pencil to shape my eyebrows. I used it once to cover a zit and then put the liquid concealer on top and it just looked really strange, so I don't recommend that. It's a b!tch to wash off your hands, which also means it's a b!tch to wash off your face. Your best bet is Ponds cold cream - seriously. A regular face cleanser is not getting this stuff off. It's CHEAP, too. I will definitely repurchase!

Wow. I am surprised to see how much everyone loves this. I hate to be a naysayer but...nay.
I, like many, have occasional skin issues. I get blemishes from time to time. And not the small, barely noticeable kind either, but large, angry, red ones. They suck to have and to look at. After reading all the favorable reviews, I decided to give this a try. I bought the second lightest shade they had, thinking even though it didn't look to be a perfect shade match to my skin, I could make it work. Boy was I wrong!
For maybe 85% of the population with yellow undertones to their skin, I can see this working. For my pinkish complexion, it's a total fail. I do like the tube it comes in and a little bit goes a long way. So in that way, this is a good value. If only the results weren't so bad. It is hard to get on the skin and once on, you have about a millisecond to blend before it stays put. It also looks cakey. The texture reminds me of paste.
If you can get this blended well and the shade matches your skin, you will be stoked at the staying power. Since I was less than thrilled with the results, the fact that I had to use A LOT of pressure to get this off was not appreciated. I much prefer Maybelline 24 hour concealer to this.

This stuff is serious business. I wouldn't recommend using it for the undereye area, as it is very thick, but it's great for the occassional blemish.

I love this product!! I have bright red zits on most of my face that I have always had trouble covering up. I misjudged the colors and I got ultra light which on me it looked like white paint. What I discovered works for me is to mix a darker foundation with it on my hand.... And bam a full coverage foundation! this stuff is so pigmented! The only downside are the colors (well at least the ones that I've seen.) I have yellow undertones and my mom has the medium shade, so before I tried mixing a darker foundation I tried mixing the medium and the ultra light together to use as a concealer. It was so yellow and as I said before I have yellow undertones! But when I run out of ultra light I will get something darker, I believe that there is a light medium. Overall it's an amazing product!

Review Price £49.00
Manufacturer: Canon
Canon's PIXMA MG3250 printer sits slightly above entry-level and directly replaces the PIXMA MG3150. It bears a lot of similarity to the earlier, home all-in-one, with the most obvious difference being that this one has textured black side, back and front panels, where the previous model's were high-gloss.
Elsewhere, a simple, A4 flatbed scanner sits to the right of a tall, thin control panel, with plenty of buttons and indicators to control the machine, but just a single, seven-segment LED display.
This is fine for selecting number of copies, but not much good for status feedback. Canon has tried to use it in a variety of ways, but the error codes it produces require constant reference to the manual to interpret. A single-line, mono LCD would be far preferable.
The front cover clicks open to reveal what Canon refers to as a 'Fast Front'. Quite what's fast about it isn't obvious, but the two, fold-down trays work between them to feed and collect paper as the machine prints. When folded down, they virtually double its depth.
There are no front panel memory card slots or a USB socket, though the printer does support USB and wireless connections. If you intend to print from a phone or tablet, wireless is the obvious way to go.
The twin ink cartridges slide into two holders behind an internal cover, once you've folded down the Fast Front. One is black and the other tri-colour. This makes the printer easy to service, but could make it a bit more costly to run.
The software bundle has been updated, with handy applets like the reversed-L shaped 'Quick Menu', and the small panel that is 'Image Display'. There's also 'My Image Garden', for sorting photos and 'Creative Park Premium' for downloading photos and illustrations from professional artists - a feature only available to users of genuine Canon inks.
One of the things you need to do with the Canon PIXMA MG3250, as with most printers, is to align the printheads. If you do this from Windows Printer Properties, the alignment sheet that's printed is different from either of those shown in the manual – so there are no instructions on how to use it.

freepascal 2.2.4 and lazarus 0.9.26.2
Today (May 4th), I updated freepascal and lazarus to newer version (2.2.4 and 0.9.26.2).
Now, The Lazarus RAD can be compiled using QT4 interface instead of GTK1 or GTK2. The QT4 interface depends of QT4 bindings for freepascal (x11-toolkits/qt4pas) available on ports tree too ( I comitted it time ago ).
See a Lazarus/QT4 screenshot on FreeBSD at :
Next, I'll add some lazarus-based apps available on the internet, maybe I'll need to create a bsd.lazarus.mk file for it.
Enjoy it

the aim of having a little more strength against the Poles should they attack us. It was nonsense to think of attacking Poland in this stage by the Navy. A second aim was to have some defense against the entering of French forces into the Ostsee (East Sea), because we knew that the French had the intention to sustain the Poles. Their ships came into the Ostsee, Gdynia, and so the Navy was a defense against an attack of Poland and against the entrance of French ships into the East Sea; quite defensive aims.
"Q. When did this fear of an attack from Poland first show itself in official circles in Germany, would you say?
"A. In all the first years. They took Vilna; in the same minute we thought they would come to East Prussia. I don't know exactly the year, because those judgments were the judgments of the German Government Ministers, the Army and Navy Ministers--Gröner and Noske.
"Q. Then those views, in your opinion, were generally held and existed perhaps as early as 1919-1920, after the end of the first World War?
"A. Oh, but the whole situation was very, very uncertain, and about those years in the beginning I cannot give you a very exact picture, because I was then 2 years in the Navy Archives to write a book about the War and the fighting capacity of cruisers. For 2 years I was not with those things."

Arizona man petitions bill that funds big events
PHOENIX — A Surprise man has started a petition against a bill in the Legislature that would pay the city of Glendale for its police and fire expenses during next year's Super Bowl.
House Bill 2547 by Republican Majority Leader David Gowan would require the state to reimburse cities for public safety costs of hosting major sporting events. Gowan says the whole state benefits from such events.
The bill would reimburse cities up to $4 million for major events like the Super Bowl and national college football championship.
The online petition created by Earl Clarke has nearly 700 signatures. He says the bill is unfair to non-Glendale residents.
A House committee scheduled to hear the bill this week instead delayed action.

Oh well.
a terrible blight on our fine country
He gave Hoke the Hand.
Bummer, best of luck. FWIW he looked way better in the maize and blue uniform when they showed it.
Hard to say no to Alabama, 3 of the last 4 titles, on track for another.
The red from Bama clashed with the orange in his hair. Blue looked much better.
The coaches have to execute better or something.
Hello depression. My name is Wee-Bey, nice to meet you.
One has to wonder if the recent product on the field has anything to do with this or if the chance to play at 'Bama is just too good to pass up right now.
If we were undefeated like we should be if we were playing to our potential...I think we'd have more hype and attention. I think he'd be blue.
I also know that if we were undefeated, our fans wouldn't be going crazy...talking about FIRE HOKE/FIRE BORGES. And the atmosphere and attitude around Michigan would be so much more positive.
Wouldn't shock me if we "lose" McDowell too.
Undefeated like we should be?
If this really depresses you, reevaluate your priorities in life.
It doesn't, however, it was fun to write. Although, I am disappointed.
And what everyone needs!
The Michigan football program as a whole has just been depressing to follow as of late. There seems to be no optimism on the board anymore, and Hand choosing Alabama is just pouring salt in an open wound...
I counter salt on the wound with Peppers. We got Peppers!!!! Happy thoughts, guys.
Peppers on an open wound be even worse!
if our D closed out the games against PSU and Nebraska instead of giving up TD drives and were 6-3. Can't say I blame the kid for picking Bama.
are you fucking high? Our d kept us in games this season. Anyone that thinks there is blame to be put on Mattison/D is incredibly off tilt.
and massive finger pointing at the coaches by the fans and media sent a negative vibe to him. Academics probably was not the deciding factor against us. Oh well. Time to move on.
The rich get richer, and the somewhat less richer get on TWIS.
I said this last week but apparently he went with engineering instead of sport's management. Pretty surprising though.
See, this makes no sense. 'Bama's engineering program isn't even in the same league as UM's. No sense.
Hoke told him he couldn't do Michigan's Engineering program. It's too time intensive for football. Alabama will let him do it.
Really? Patrick Omameh was in Engineering. We've had others over the years.
Was it Hoke, or was it that he didn't have the grades to get into the School of Engineering?
IIRC, Omameh switched his major to sociology after his third year, which would make sense seeing as that's when Hoke took over and apparently told folks that engineering was too time intensive.
(I had never heard of this until today regarding Michigan telling recruits that they couldn't do engineering. That's pretty weak.)
Considering we wouldn't let Harbaugh do effing History, it can't be much of a stunner
There aren't enough hours in the day to do D1 football and Eng well at the same time.
With no malice attached to the statement, Hand will recognize this too eventually.
If one was extreme enough to want to do both in life, take a Math major during the first 4 and graduate. Then enroll in the Eng of your choice and continue the adventure. In my day, a Math major and an ME major were about 3 classes different in the math requirements.
and Bama did the opposite. However, the cynical side of me thinks that his major had much less to do with his decision than everyone originally thought.
I'm wondering if he had the grades because you can't automatically choose - even as an athlete - which college of U-M you want to attend, if your academic credentials aren't good enough. The borderline guys usually only can enroll in the School of Kinesiology.
Actually, no. 15 years ago the borderline players went into Kinesiology. Today the borderline players go into LSA for General Studies. The School of Kinesiology is the 2nd hardest undergraduate program to get into on campus (Music, theater, and dance is hardest) by percentages. Less than one of three applicants get into Kinesiology. If you go straight up by the numbers, the average high school GPA and ACT scores of Kinesiology entering freshmen are higher than or equal to those of LSA entering freshmen.
Unless I'm mistaken, Sports Management and Communications is in the School of Kinesiology, and that's what the borderline guys generally major in.
The major was changed to Sports Management several years ago, instead of Sports Management and Communication. They also got rid of the automatic admission slots to Kinesiology for athletes. Lastly, they installed a junior admission procedure for Sports Management that requires students to take maintain a certain GPA in specific Sports Management courses as Freshman and Sophomores before applying at the end of their Sophomore year to gain admission to the Sports Management major. As a result, things have changed a lot.
There are actually very few football players in the School of Kinesiology at Michigan. The media guide has 113 players listed. Of these, 6 are in kinesiology that aren't freshmen:
Kenny Allen
Blake Countess
Devin Funchess
Jareth Glanda
Joe Kerridge
Michael Schofield
There are 6 more true freshmen in kinesiology:
Chris Wormley (freshman)
Delano Hill (freshman)
Maurice Hurst (freshman)
Mike McCray (freshman)
Shane Morris (freshman)
Csont'e York (freshman)
If recent history is a predictor, at least half of these freshmen will transfer to LSA before finishing their playing days or graduation (whichever comes first).
In contrast, there are over 30 football players majoring in General Studies.
Or Alabama will do that thing they do...
Before he commits.
"Major? Sure, yeah, whatever you want kid..."
After arriving on campus
"Oh, engineering? Oh, man. No. No. Sorry. That's too time intensive..."
Color me a cynical bastard, but we're discussing a program that doesn't give two shits about giving their own players the boot just because they aren't up to snuff at football, 3 or 4 years into their collegiate career.
Regardless, good luck to Hand. Seems like a really good kid.
Yeah people say that. Numbers don't show that but yeah people say that.
Honestly, I have known athletes who want to study something real and didn't because it was too hard to do that and be an athlete.
That said, as a parent with two high schoolers looking at colleges, there is something to be said for balancing the desire to be challenged by the best school, and the practicality of getting into a program where your child will be able to compete with the other students in the program.
I think if Da'Shawn decided he really wanted to do engineering - then going to 'Bama may actually be the better choice from an ability to keep up and compete academically while also playing football at the major D1 level.
Either way, he seems like a great kid, and I hope he gets that degree.
It seems the coaches pushed Sports Management because it's easier to manage playing football than engineering. Anyone who did the engineering program at Michigan can tell you how difficult it is to do without trying to be an All-American DE. Hoke tends to be honest and up-front with recruits and probably told him that they didn't think he could do it so pushed the sports management front. Alabama probably had no such qualms and maybe honestly believe they can have him do both programs, although, knowing Nick Saban, I really, really doubt it.
Jordan Morgan is in the engineering program.
Huyge did as well right?
Ya Hyuge was in the Naval Engineering Program. As for Morgan, good for him. Morgan went to my high school and has always been a pretty intelligent and focused guy considering his athletic potential. Many of our other athletes would leave because they couldn't or didn't want to stay academically eligible. However, Morgan is just one example in comparison to the hundreds of other main sport athletes that don't do it. From what has been reported, it seemed Michigan was trying to sell him on financial management instead of engineering. Edit: Got lazy and just posted both responses in this comment. Sorry.
Michigan's CoE would try to make you fail in the first two years so they can keep the best and the brightest which is why their rankings are so high.
It worked out well for Jordan Morgan who already graduated from CoE and the basketball team travels more than the football team... Just saying
Hoke screwed the pooch on Hand's recruitment. I realize that it's easier for football players to earn degrees in other disciplines leaving more time for football preparation, but given that Huyge just finished his degree in Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering while starting as right tackle, there is at least precedence that it can be done. And no, the civil program is probably not more difficult than the NAME program; there's a reason the undergrads in my department took the Civil fluids class instead of the Mechanical fluids class.
It makes sense when reports were that M told him no can do with regard to engineering.
Which is exactly why he chose Bama. You can't play football and get an engineering degree at U-M.
Please let Mark Huyge know of this rule.
This rule appears to be a Hoke mandate (Omameh was an engineering major under RR) and 2011 was Huyge's fifth year, so Mark was probably either finishing up his last few courses or already in possession of his Michigan degree at that point.
You obviously don't force someone to change majors in their last year regardless of what rule you have have in place for incoming folks.
I seem to remember his Dad and Grandpa doing medicine and he's an engineer? Hoke recruited him, right?
enrolled in the College of Engineering, majoring in industrial and operations engineering.
So there is obviously no rule in place.
There might not be a rule, but you don't think its a little weird that before he visited michigan he was on record as saying he wanted to be an engineer (part of why he liked va tech at the time) and when he visited we had him talk to a sports marketing professor rather than an engineering professor?
Also Wile is a kicker, maybe he has less practice time.
...he was discouraged from going into engineering at Michigan. We don't know.

Chrysler has just announced a recall for Jeep Grand Cherokees and Jeep Libertys because of potential gas tank fires.
More than 3.4 million vehicles are being recalled worldwide for defective airbags. These include Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Mazda models.
Chrysler recently announced that the company is recalling nearly 745,000 Jeep sport utility vehicles across the continental United States to repair an issue that could possibly lead to the involuntary deployment of the airbags.
Toyota Motor Corporation announced on Wednesday that it will recall more than seven million vehicles to fix a power window issue that the manufacturer says could present a risk for fire.
According to a press release issued by the Japanese automaker, the voluntary recall is to inspect and apply special fluorine grease to the driver's-side Power Window Master Switch (everyone's favorite car part) because it may become "notchy" when operated.
Texas is one the many states included in a voluntary recall of romaine lettuce because of fears about possible E. coli contamination.

"Stephen Mark Rainey has one those slow voices that slides up from deep inside and lulls his readers into a false sense of security, just before coiling his words around them and stealing their breath." - David Niall Wilson, Macabre, Ink; author of Deep Blue, The Mote in Andrea's Eye, and others
"The sheer variety of settings and Rainey's remarkable command of appropriate styles of and voices deserves amazed respect. The flat-out monster story, the ooze-slime-blob invasion, and others rise with new and eerie life from Dr. Rainey's lab table." - Robert M. Price; editor of Crypt of Cthulhu magazine, Chaosium's "Cthulhu Cycle" line of anthologies, and more

Devils' owner still seeking for investors
Josh Kosman writes in the New York Post that Devils owner Jeff Vanderbeek is still looking for investors to purchase a majority stake in the team.
The talks, coming three weeks after the 55-year old former Wall Street executive seemed close to inking a deal with an investor to save the team, are leading some in the financial world to believe the deal has fallen apart.
Vanderbeek is facing an August 14 deadline to get the Devils' financing in order, but according to reports, putting a new deal in just a month will be hard.
The Devils owe creditors $80 million and without an investor, Vanderbeek risks having the NHL push him aside and taking control of the franchise.

On September 28, I continued my practice of conducting CEO Rounds in each department of our hospital. This month I spent the day working in our Dietary department. I began my day helping Bernardo to set up patient breakfast trays and taking the carts out to our nursing floor. Next I had the honor of helping Daniel prepare the day's lunch meal It was "Turkey" Day. That could have been refering to the day's menu or the new kitchen helper for the day! I wonder how many people know that Daniel, a local boy (born in our hospital) who made good, was trained at the Cordon Bleu School in San Francisco. And how many of us knew that Daniel is skilled in making ice scupltors too? Now that we know, don't be surprised if you see an ice sculpture some time at MCDH. My contribution for lunch was turkey stuffing. If word of this gets out it is going to make it more difficult for me to play dumb on Thanksgiving. After making the stuffing and the mashed potatoes, I was able to observe Kristy making up the menus for the next days meals. I was impressed by her expertise in skillfully preparing meal choices for the next day.
My next assignment was working the cafeteria line with Carol. She was probably happy to have the help considering that everyone shows up for Turkey Day in our Cafeteria. Our dining room is open to the public. Where else can you get a turkey meal with all of the trimmings for only $6.00? After lunch I was supposed to help Roy wash the dishes. Somehow I got called out of the department and missed that part. I promise to come back and help you with the dishes some time Roy. I finished my day in the kitchen by helping Roy to set up the trays for dinner.
As usual I came away from my day in a hospital department with a great appreciation for the wonderful work that all of the members of the MCDH family provide. I got a lot of pride today from having an opportunity to help to serve our patients, our staff and our visitors. It is really a privilege to be able to serve at Mendocino Coast District Hospital.

Recognition of the importance of volunteers to the life of the City of Helper dominated last Thursday's city council meeting.
Council members were presented with two very different items concerning the active participation of residents in the overall vibrancy of downtown. Neida Garcia presented a proposal for the formation of a beautification committee and Melanie Steele told the council that she needed to move away from her role as the primary organizer of the Helper Arts Festival.
"I need to step back a bit," she said. "There really needs to be strong support for the director of the arts festival."
Helper Mayor Mike Dalpiaz assured Steele that the festival would be a priority for the city council and that there would be someone assigned to the event.
"One of the two rookies will be sitting down with you all," he said, referring to P.J. Jensen and Larry Ganser who were in the audience at the meeting.
Steele stressed the importance of immediate action saying that planning the festival is actually a year-long effort.
The Helper Arts & Music Festival is going into its 14th year and is reportedly a major draw for the historic downtown area. The 2007 festival was held from Aug. 17 to 19 and featured everything from more than 50 arts and crafts booths to food to a car and cycle show.
While she said she needed to take a breather from the main organizing, Steele told the council she is still concerned about the event.
"I am just not looking to cut and run," she said. "I want to make sure it (festival) will survive."
Dalpiaz acknowledged her concerns.
"Come Jan. 1, I will stress how important this is," he said.
Garcia proposed an opposite challenge to the council. She came with a detailed concept for sprucing up the streets and store fronts in Helper.
"We have a problem downtown," she said. "It's very disappointing to see window fronts that need washing and weeds everywhere. A lot of people complain but don't do anything about it."
Garcia said the plan devised by her and her friends includes eliminating weeds in various areas including the utility building in the cemetery and near the entrance to the city. She emphasized that they weren't looking to jeopardize anyone's jobs, just to lend a hand.
"If we pull the weeds can we have the city pick them up?" Garcia asked.
While Dalpiaz and his colleagues presented several possible logistical roadblocks to the overall plan, the mayor did say that picking up the weeds wouldn't be a problem.
Garcia learned a bit earlier in the discussion that liability issues would impede the ability of the city to allow volunteers to actually use city equipment. Despite being faced with some limitations by municipal regulations, Garcia went on with the ambitious blueprint for giving Helper a bit of a face lift.
"We would like to put wooden pots with flowers in several locations," she said.
She said that a way to get more support might be to have a monthly award for best yard and that if the program were to really take off that volunteers could help the elderly and disabled by cleaning up their yards.
The council expressed support for Garcia's plan and said that information about the program could be printed on back of utility bills, a suggestion that lit up Garcia's eyes.
"Anything we can do to help you we will," said Dalpiaz.
Councilman Dean Armstrong seconded the mayor."You have the city council's appreciation and support," he said.
However, despite the backing for Garcia's effort, council members did share some caveats.
"It's great that you are heading up this thing, we have been running so short on resources," said Councilman Robert Farrell. "Often in volunteer groups the person that heads them is lonesome."
Undeterred by the warning, Garcia had her own opinion on recruiting able bodies. "I'm actually asking for volunteers from the council," she said smiling.

It's not easy being Pippa Middleton. Your big sister is an international style icon written about in every publication, almost every day, and she's married to the future King of England.
But we're pleased to give the professional second fiddle an honest fashion win. She is officially better dressed than her royal sis today in a pitch perfect street style look! The operative word there is obviously today, but a win is still a win.
VIDEO: Watch our recap of Kate and Baby George dazzling down under!
For some perspective, here's Prince George's mum in the Diane von Furstenberg wrap that loses out to Pippa's hip combo. Sure the dress sold out hours after the Duchess wore it, but that's not the point! The middle Middleton looks fierce in her tux-inspired overcoat and tight, ripped denim. And don't think we don't notice that she's rocking Kate's signature navy blue. Hot leather ankle booties and a slouchy, matching sack finishes it off just right.
Poor Pippa may not make national news for the afternoon shopping style, but here at Fashion Police, we fight for the celebrity underdogs whenever possible. If you can call the second most famous girl in all of England an underdog...

Isaiah Toothtaker
Faith No More
April 5, 2011
Isaiah Toothtaker Goes Headdress in "Faith No More" Video
Arizona rapper Isaiah Toothtaker is open about a lot of things — his assault conviction, his father who was shot and killed by police when he was 22, his tattoo parlor in Tuscon, Arizona — but you won't hear him blab too much about his half-Mexican and half-Pasqua Yaqui tribe background. Not on his websites and interviews, anyway.
But in the video for "Faith No More," he dons a headdress and sings a small native call vocal inflection in the hook. It's unique to his new album Illuminati Thug Mafia, which is laden with the smart beatmaking likes of Mainframe and Kid Static, but it's only a small part of a seriously satisfying head bobbing hip hop track.
The video also comes with flashes of religious symbols. An inverted cross and a Jewish star get some chyron cameos while Isaiah and a very lovely friend traipse through the wilderness.
Watch "Faith No More." And don't forget listen to Illuminati Thug Mafia in its entirety — despite the name, there's not an ounce of hip hop pretense involved.

A winter sunset clouds panorama over the Principality of Monaco, taken in February 2015. The original 433 megapixel ultra high resolution photograph is a 180 degree panorama taken from a cliff above Monaco.
Beautiful pink and purple clouds appear mostly during the sunsets of autumn, winter and early spring, when the Sun sets far out West, lighting up the sky in fabulous colours.

The Rim Fire gained worldwide notoriety for burning into Yosemite National Park, the granite-walled wonderland sometimes ranked as California's top tourist attraction.
But early on, the rampant blaze that's now 30 days old descended into another High Sierra treasure, the Tuolumne River Canyon, where four whitewater rafting guides — including a former Occidental man — assisted firefighters in what became a hazardous effort to halt the fire.
Isaac Ingram, operations manager for the American River Touring Association (ARTA), said the episode began with an unusual request from the U.S. Forest Service's Groveland Ranger District the morning of Aug. 19.
"How long would it take you to get a crew down to Meral's Pool?" Ingram said, recalling the inquiry from the ranger station that manages public use of the Tuolumne River.
Meral's Pool is the put-in spot for the 18-mile voyage down the Tuolumne, a stretch that drops 40 feet per mile and is studded with roaring Class IV and V rapids, tops on the scale of difficulty.
"They wanted to get firefighters across the river to cut a fire line," said Ingram, 31, an El Molino High graduate in 2000 who joined ARTA as a professional guide two years later.
At the time "it didn't seem like a big deal," he said.
The fire, ignited by a hunter's illegal campfire, had started Aug. 17 on Jawbone Ridge, about two miles up the Clavey River from its confluence with the Tuolumne.
"We told them we could be there in an hour," Ingram said, calculating the 40 minutes it takes ARTA's flatbed truck to rumble down the rough, 5-mile Lumsden Road to Meral's Pool.
Ingram, ARTA general manager Steve Welch and two guides took a pair of 16-foot inflatable rafts down to the put-in. It turned out the firefighters wanted to cross below Sunderland's Chute, the third rapid downstream from Meral's Pool.

Being in the digital music business still isn't easy, though the large media labels are starting to become more open to cooperation. Startup Grooveshark, which boasts a catalog over 6 million songs available for free streaming, however, has been sued by EMI for copyright infringement. The site operates based on a peer-to-peer technology and offers a simple interface for searching and listening to music.
Grooveshark claims to be in talks with EMI and other copyright holders and says that it has secured deals "with hundreds of record labels, major US performance rights organizations, and thousands of independent artists." However it has failed to secure any deal with major labels and finds itself taken to court over its service.
"Recently, EMI Records chose to abandon the template we've built with the help of other major copyright holders and opted for their traditional intimidation tactic of filing a lawsuit as a negotiating tool. We find the use of this negotiating strategy counterproductive, as Grooveshark has been willing to conclude an agreement with EMI Records that is economically sustainable for both EMI Records and a start-up company the size of Grooveshark," the company stated, according to the allthingsd blog.
Grooveshark operates on an ad-supported business model but so far has failed to become profitable though it generates some revenue. While it's obvious that it wants to have deals in place with major labels as well as indie acts offering a 50/50 split on the profits, it hasn't been very successful so far and it's unclear for how long the service will survive in its current form.

Tweet: Ethan Werek Pushed Himself Out
There was always something that seemed a little off, to me, about Werek and where he stood with the organization. Jess was the only one who ever seemed to talk about him and while you would expect the team to sign a guy they drafted in the second round only two years ago, they clearly weren't impressed with what they saw and felt like it was the right move to get something for him rather than let him walk.
I always support drafting or taking players who are from Europe and are playing against Men at a young age. Oscar Lindberg may not become an NHL player, but the Rangers can let him develop in Europe and bring him over when he is ready to make an impact.

Week after federal raid, Sunshine Pharmacy in East Naples remains closed
Sunshine Pharmacy owner Del Parrish voluntarily gave up his license to fill prescriptions for certain controlled substances as federal authorities continue a probe of potential Medicare fraud, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration officials say.
Agency spokeswoman Mia Ro in Miami said Parrish relinquished his DEA registration Thursday to fill prescriptions for controlled substances in four classifications, which include pain medications, stimulants, cough medications and steroids.
Officials with DEA and U.S. Health and Human Services on Jan. 17 confiscated documents and computers from Sunshine Solutions and Pharmacy at 5480 Rattlesnake-Hammock Road in East Naples.
Parrish, 43, and his mother, Patricia Parrish, 73, are under investigation to determine if they engaged in a scheme to defraud Medicare Part D by submitting claims to Medicare after the death of beneficiaries, according to an Oct. 17 letter that HHS sent to Medicare Part D providers. In addition, they may have submitted false claims to Medicaid and Tricare, the insurance for military members, the letter said.
Federal authorities followed up this past Thursday and confiscated records at Sunshine Pharmacy locations at 6350 Davis Blvd. and 421 U.S. 41 N., NBC-2 reported.
"This is an ongoing investigation," DEA's Ro said Friday, adding that the Collier County Sheriff's Office and Naples Police Department are assisting.
The Rattlesnake-Hammock pharmacy has been closed since last week but the Davis Boulevard and U.S. 41 stores were open Friday. Store employees declined to comment about the DEA action.
The inability to fill prescriptions for controlled substances creates a hardship for a pharmacy to stay open, even if they are a small part of the total prescription business, said Matthew Cammuso, a pharmacist with Wooley's, an independent pharmacy at 3761 East U.S. 41 since 1992.
"It becomes extremely difficult to survive, simply because a percentage of your prescriptions, 10 or 15 percent, or maybe as low as 5 percent, are for controlled substances," Cammuso said. "Usually they are accompanied by other non-controlled prescriptions. Someone (a customer) is going to go to one stop."
Cammuso said Wooley's welcomes any Sunshine customers who want to transfer prescriptions to his pharmacy. They can bring in an empty vial and the pharmacy can call their doctor, or the customer can call their doctor for a new prescription, Cammuso said.
According to state Department of Health records, Parrish's license as a pharmacist remains active and clear.

Back home in Boulder, but not for long: two days, and I'm off again to Las Vegas for the Red Rock Rendezvous. I spent a full day in the house, save for a trip out to the store for breakfast... Crepes and coffee (home coffee!) to see Ronnie off for the next leg of his trip. After that rest day and the first full night's sleep in over two weeks, I got to head out to a project up Boulder Canyon a ways with my broo GP Salvo. He and his lady Vanessa Compton were in town for a few days, and I was lucky enough tp catch them on their last day in town. GP is an underground beast, and I'm always happy to get out with him, dodge the crowds, and try and climb some slopers. We went up to a line I have been trying right up to the day that I left Boulder to meet up with Ronnie. To tell the truth, I was really reluctant to leave, since I had but a hand and a foot move left to do in order to finish this awesome compression bloc. GP fell two or three times on the LAST MOVE of the higher start, eliminating one move in the upper section, which I was happy to see. That'll shave some off the redpoint, for sure. It was nice to be back up there in the pines, among granite canyons, with tiny patches of snow here and there in the shade (though not the 4' I saw when I was last there, and TICKS). Again, it felt a shame to have to leave the next day, but, not so bad though, hey?
Home and Back Again - Chris Schulte
This spring, the Ride was a really good time. It's a good exercise to go out and ride the stream, so to speak, and head to all the spots that people love in their home areas- the spots that have the meaning to them in the same way that the mountains of Colorado have weight with me. It's cool to see the psyche everyone has when walking us around their home areas, when talking up the projects they have found in some out of the way thicket over beers and good food in the evenings, beat and scratched up from the bushwhackin'. It reminds me of what I look for when I climb, and how many things there are to appreciate, how many facets there are to enjoy, and ultimately what I do this for. It's a lot like looking into the "infinity mirror" setup.. There you are, and another you, and another and another and so on.. Each one perhaps seeing a slightly different view.
The next view is a sunny one, with more sandstone, more new faces, and hopefully, more perspective in the way of what all there is to enjoy in this slice of life. More to come from Sin City...

SCOTUS Week
Justice Alito argues that a couple of the sections at issue implicate state police powers, so there has to be clear and manifest intent of Congress to find preemption. Justice Alito attacks the Government's arguments as "unprecedented," but nothing that I would call partisan. So alright. Reasonable minds can differ. But ok.
Justice Thomas thinks that you can only compare the words of the state statute and the federal statute to see if there is actual conflict. Justice Thomas seems to think that States will not be crafty and that Congress has all the time in the world to review every single state statute that may conflict with federal law, then change said federal law to ensure that blah blah blah. This is outrageous on its face and laughable. Of course, that's the idea. On paper, the philosophy sounds simple and straight forward. So simple, that anyone with an 8th grade education can appreciate it. But in reality, it's impossible to administer. Even more impossible to ever find that the federal laws preempt any state laws. In the end, "[s]ay what you will about the tenets of [Justice Thomas], at least it's an ethos."
Which brings us to Justice Scalia. I just don't understand his argument. He seems to treat states as full sovereigns not bound by the supremacy clause. The gist, if I understand it, is that for 100 years, states were able to exclude all sorts of people, and they should continue to do so now. It's almost like 200 years of history, including a Civil War that settled the question of the scope of state sovereignty, do not exist in the world of Justice Scalia. Justice Scalia firmly believes that this part of the state's core sovereignty, and as long as the states are admitting those admissible under federal law and excluding those excluded by federal law, everything is Kosher. Certainly any jurisprudence about Congress's plenary power over immigration is a footnote at best--merely a part of the "so-called field preemption." This is a remarkable distortion of the relationship of the states to the federal government. How is it possible that Justice Scalia can look at Art. I, sec. 9 (the clause precluding Congress from prohibiting the importation of slaves for 20 years) with a straight face and claim that it manifests a state's power to exclude.
Justice Scalia doesn't stop there. For example, he asks, rhetorically, "Are the sovereign States at the mercy of the Federal Executive's refusal to enforce the Nation's immigration laws? A good way of answering that question is to ask: Would the States conceivably have entered into the Union if the Constitution itself contained the Court's holding? Today's judgment surely fails that test." Well, no. That's not a good way of answering the question. Pragmatically speaking, would the States have entered the Union if the Constitution contained the Court's holding and the States were aware of the advances in transportation and human mobility that would unfold in the next 220 years? If we want to take this to the rhetorical extreme, we can also ask, would states have joined the Union without the 3/5 compromise? No? Oh well if not for the 13th and 14th Amendments, we should bring that back as well. This is, again, a remarkable bait and switch that ignores the most recent 100 years of history and jurisprudence while embracing language in the Articles of Confederation. It's nonsense. The rest of the dissent takes hacks at the President's recent announcement on deferred action (though curiously, while attacking the resources that would be required to implement the President's policy, Justice Scalia is silent as to the resources that would otherwise be required to deport the aliens that fall under the umbrella of the policy). Like I said, I just don't get it.
UPDATE 1: When I first drafted this post, I included a sentence wondering if Scalia's dissent meant that he did not get his way in the ACA rulings. Sounds like others are thinking along the same lines.
WaPo has a great story on Bryan Stevenson, the NYU law professor who argued the juvenile life in prison cases. Stevenson was the speaker for my class graduation. An inspired selection, especially in hindsight.
UPDATE 2: Well, here it is. Initial thoughts listening to NPR on the way in to work: Roberts is a genius. There are a lot of reasons for that statement, but I believe, 10, 20, 50 years from now, his opinion on the Commerce Clause will be the equivalent of Justice Jackson's concurrence in Youngstown. If you're a libertarian aching to claw back Congress's commerce clause authority to pre-New Deal days, this is your opinion. In just a few pages, Roberts (1) establishes limits on Wickard ("The farmer in Wickard was at least actively engaged in the production of wheat, and the Government could regulate that activity because of its effect on commerce. The Government's theory here would effectively override that limitation, by establishing that individuals may be regulated under the Commerce Clause whenever enough of them are not doing something the Government would have them do") (Opinion of Roberts, C.J., Slip Op. at 22); (2) takes the "broccoli" argument and reshapes it into a coherent legal argument about the government regulating diet based on the increased cost on health care (id. at 22-23); (3) establishes that the "necessary and proper clause" requires the act to be both necessary as well as proper, something previously left to the best guesses of law professors. ("Even if the individual mandate is 'necessary' to the Act's insurance reforms, such an expansion of federal power is not a 'proper' means for making those reforms effective.") (id. at 30).

Gainward Phantom GTX570 Review
Test Setup and Overclocking
Published: 17th January 2011 | Source: Gainward | Price: TBC |
Test Setup
Gainward Phantom GTX570
Intel Core i7-950 @ 4GHz
ASUS Rampage III Extreme
Muskin Joule 1200w
6GB Mushkin Redline
Noctua NH-D14
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Unfortunately the Gainward doesn't come with any method of upping the voltage on the Phantom and therefore the overclocking capabilities are limited. Either Gainward are saving this for a Golden Sample card, or hopefully there will be a "Extreme" or similar version of this card because the lack of voltage tweaking really hinders the ability to overclock.
As it was we managed to get another 75MHz out of the Core on top of the 18MHz increase it comes with. This obviously gives 150MHz on the Shader speeds, alongside another 25MHz out of the GDDR5.
So how does this gorgeous new cooler design control the temperatures? Very well indeed is the answer.
We see a maximum temperature of 64°C which is impressive enough, but even better is the way in which it obtains it. The reference design GTX570 is pretty quiet even under load, but the Gainward Phantom is not only cooler, but even when it's having to speed the fans up to keep the card cool it's unnoticeable from when it's at idle.
If your desire is to hear yourself think while gaming then the Phantom definitely has you covered.

nice review again Bryan
How do you bypass that? Maybe you could make a guide or something?
Anyway, good looking card but the performance is somewhat disappointing. I had higher hopes for the 570 considering its price.
Would make a tastey silent addition to the D14 i have on the way.
If this card ends up costing much more than the ref model then there is no point in buying it.. Your card will run cooler but will dump all the hot air in to your case. The card looks good, but when installed, all you can see through a window is the black edge and Gold Gainward name.
With no voltage tweakage allowed by the bios and no meaningful factory overclock this card seems a bit poo to me.
People go on about waiting for the non ref designs for cooler cards to allow a little more overclocking headroom but this doesn't offer anything like that and clocks less than the ref card for what I expect will be a price premium. It might be quieter, but my 570 runs as good as silent.. My PSU is louder.
Good review as always guys.. Just a shame Gainward didn't put a better version of the bios on the card with higher clocks and some voltage allowance.
Edit: Just finished watching the video.. I'll take some of that back as if you can edit it in the beta of Afterburner then that's just as easy as opening any other software to do it.
Out of curiosity, what was the max Afterburner allowed on the voltage? 1.1v?
Inquiring minds want to know......
unless this is a lie which it could be.
You can also remove the price TBC
unless this is a lie which it could be.
3gb 580 version looks like a beast
On 100% fan speed, it sounds like an hair dryer

Busy Times For River Patrol
Written by Jeremy Scott on July 9, 2014
Multnomah County Sheriff's Sgt. Steve Dangler
PORTLAND — The men and women who jump into the water to rescue those in need are a tired bunch these days with drownings and countless close calls.
After rescuing a man from drowning in the Willamette River at Kelly Point Park on Tuesday night (Read More), the morning started off just as busy.
Divers pulled a body out of the river near the Steel Bridge around 8:00. An hour later, a woman was clinging to the seawall in the same area. She was picked up in a rescue boat.
"Between this morning and last night, our boats have been pretty active," said Portland Fire Lieutenant Rich Chatman.
Two people drowned this week in Marion County. A man went under at Scotts Mills Park on Butte Creek early Tuesday evening. It comes one day after a teen drowned at Three Pools Recreational Area on the Santiam River.
"What we want to stress most importantly is safety. Looking out for one another, always having a friend with you in the water, and use of flotation devices we can't stress enough," said Sergeant Dangler.
Nearly a dozen people in Oregon and Southwest Washington have drowned this month alone.
The CDC reports that nearly 4,000 people drown each year in the United States. It's the third leading killer of people under the age of 29 and second leading cause of death in children four or under.

Okay, so we all know there are great things about fall – cool weather, colorful trees, Halloween, etc – but for me the defining aspect of fall is football. I'm so happy that football is back on the Hilltop! In case you didn't know, here at SMU we don't tailgate, we Boulevard. Meaning, before all the home games alumni, student groups, and others put up tents on the main quad and cook out, hang out, and party before we head to the stadium. Boulevarding is one of the most fun and unique things about SMU, and the they are some of my favorite memories of SMU so far. We've been lucky to have three straight weekends of home games, meaning we've had three weeks of Boulevarding and football!
The best thing about the whole event is that it brings our whole campus together before the game to hang out and mingle together. It's a great moment of campus unity and it's a total blast to eat and hang out with everyone. We then all follow our mascot Peruna – a live Shetland pony – into the game to cheer our Mustangs on to victory. There a ton of traditions here at SMU and several of them revolve around our football games. There are four different chants we do during the game, the fourth quarter shuffle, Peruna runs when we score, we sing the Varsity at the end – win or lose -, and more. We started off our season playing at Texas Tech and lost a close game by 8, then had our home opener against UAB who we beat by 21 points, Washington State at home fell to the Mustangs by 14 points, and then this past weekend was Family Weekend where we took on our biggest rivals – the TCU Horned Frogs – at the time #4 in the country and sadly lost by 17 points. Our Mustangs played great in all the games and I think the team really shows a lot of promise. Looking forward to an awesome season!
