Putting aside their problem with delivering in less than an hour (at least four times), they keep insisting on sending the WRONG pizza to me. And then bitching about it when I object. Funny, I think there's a difference between a sausage and vegetarian pizza. When they get it right, it's great. But it seems getting it right is beyond them. Avoid the Arlington ZPizza location.

Wait, you live where you do so you can mostly walk to everything you need and then you go for delivery?!! Even I don't rely on delivery, where I am!
December 30th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Right, you milk the cow, make the cheese, kill the cow, make the sausage, and cook the pizza.
Crazy suburbanites.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:03 am
isn't Mario's down the street from you? I think they have vegetarian cardboard there.
December 31st, 2008 at 8:15 am
I hate to speak ill of an institution*, but Mario's pizza is awful. Borderline inedible. They are, however, a great place to get fries at 3am. And the menu has expanded significantly in the past couple of years.
*Obviously, ZPizza doesn't qualify.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:35 am
I think Mario's suck because its run by brown people and not real Italians ;-)
Goody's in Clarendon isn't bad but I probably most often order from Papa Johns. (thin crust with jalapenos and grilled chicken) there is also a pretty good place in Rosslyn, Piola I think
December 31st, 2008 at 11:19 am
Does Lost Dog deliver to where you live? That's all I get these days.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Armando's used to be my prime pizza place. Maybe time to move back to them. It's a shame, because as I said, when ZPizza gets it right, it's damn good pizza.
Never thought about Lost Dog delivery, Miles. I should. The trick, of course, will be avoiding adding a bottle or three of Chimay to the order (for those unaware, Lost Dog is the place to go in Arlington when you want to take good beer home.)
December 31st, 2008 at 12:24 pm
When Arlington starts trashing its businesses, Falls Church wins.
We have our own zPizza which is good (although I order from Lost Dog whenever I have to eat pizza).
Claire and Don send their regards from Falls Church.

Don't make me close the border, Mike.
December 31st, 2008 at 2:03 pm
We have a leather shop and a palm reader we can let you have for, well, just go ahead and help yourself.
December 31st, 2008 at 2:42 pm
I'm a fan of Lost Dog as well but haven't tried Stray Cat yet. I heard they have masala pizza at Sangam now that you wanna try MB.
December 31st, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Only if you'll take the Ch****c*k* F***ory. I think we already have a couple of palm readers, though. One works out of Wes Clark's old campaign headquarters. She's seen marginally more success.

Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, ifosfamide, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors.
Neurofibromatosis Type 1
Biological: filgrastim
Drug: doxorubicin hydrochloride
Drug: etoposide
Drug: ifosfamide

This is an old concept in RDF, and one which unfortunately never seems to make it into any specs :-( This is exactly what I was talking about in my latest post about how 4Suite does this using scopes, which are arbitrary URI connected to each statement. We built in scopes because we ran into the need for them in practice, and a lot of people here have rehashed some of the cases where they are important. One warning: scopes are not enough for clean N-ary relationships in general. I prefer to use blank nodes for those. Anyways, If Chandler goes with the intriguing idea of maintaining RDF triples as Python object/attribute structures, then squeezing in scopes/contexts/whatever will not be so easy. It would probably require computed attributes, which would result in a performance hit and a complication of the persistence model. Maybe plain old Python quintuples are the ticket. This is what the 4Suite memory model uses (well, actually sextuples). -- Uche Ogbuji Fourthought, Inc. http://uche.ogbuji.net http://4Suite.org http://fourthought.com Python&XML column: 2.

Archive for the '1969 AMC AMX' tag
Banacek AMX crossing the auction block
It's a little-known fact that George Barris tried to capitalize on the two-seater AMX's like-no-other-car look by offering mildly customized versions of the AMC sports car. That effort apparently went nowhere, but Barris did enjoy quite a bit more publicity with another AMX customization, what AMCers now refer to as the Banacek AMX or the AMX-400.
Built for one episode of the early 1970s TV detective show Banacek, in which the title character investigates the disappearance of Project Phoenix, a prototype automobile, Barris not only chopped the roof of the 390-powered 1969 AMX by four and a half inches, but also lengthened the schnoz 15 inches and added a louvered grille and matching rear strakes.
We mention all this because the Banacek AMX will head to Mecum's St. Charles, Illinois, auction early next month, crossing the block on October 3. No pre-auction estimate is listed.

The Iran Deal: A Humanizing Breakthrough
Nov 25, 2013
So the recent talks in Geneva between Iran and the world's six major powers produced far more than a long-elusive deal to restrict Iran's nuclear program, writes Robin Wright in Time. Geneva laid the cornerstone to defuse 34 years of both overt and covert confrontation over a host of other issues too.
Breaking Down the Iranian Deal
Nov 25, 2013
Robin Wright spoke on a panel on MSNBC's Morning Joe about the nuclear deal reached with Iran over the weekend.
Best Chance in a Decade on an Iran Nuke Deal
Nov 22, 2013
In this interview, Distinguished Scholar Robin Wright and former scholar David Sanger both agree that a nuclear deal with Iran could be imminent. "Iran needs a deal like never before," said Robin Wright. "I would be surprised if we don't get a deal."
IAEA Chief Cites Modest Iran Nuclear Progress; Official Report Due
Nov 15, 2013
Public Policy Scholar Michael Adler interviewed IAEA Chief Yukiya Amano and reports in Breaking Defense that Iran's recent slow down on its nuclear program could signal a readiness to create favorable conditions for a deal with the U.S.
America Has Nowhere to Go on Egypt
Nov 12, 2013
There's no doubt that American policy toward Egypt and the political turbulence in the Middle East has lacked direction, writes Aaron David Miller in The New York Times. Yet the Obama administration's approach — working with, not against the military, and essentially giving up on any serious effort on democratic reform — is both logical and necessary.
The Military vs. the Islamists
Nov 04, 2013
Political Islam in Egypt has suffered a tremendous blow, its biggest setback since its emergence as a formidable ideology and political movement in the early 20th century. But it is not yet clear if other Islamist groups, particularly Salafi groups such as the Nour Party, are in or have benefited from the Brotherhood's declining fortunes.
The Case Against Negotiating With Assad
Oct 31, 2013
"U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is on a roll," writes Aaron David Miller. But, he cautions, negotiations with Assad would be a bad move.

Oct 30, 2013
In this Context interview, former Israeli Chief Peace Negotiator Gilead Sher discussed the newest round of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and the larger security picture in the region.
Tunisia's Islamist-Led Democracy Founders
Oct 18, 2013
Tunisia's ruling Islamic party, Ennahda, has made repeated compromises on religious issues to meet secularist demands for a new constitution, according to Woodrow Wilson Senior Scholar David Ottaway. But Ennahda's moderate leadership has lost secularist trust by showing too much deference to its own militant Islamic wing and fundamentalist Salafis outside the movement.
Behind the Smiles in Geneva, No Concrete Progress in Iran Negotiations
Oct 17, 2013
U.S. and Iranian officials are praising nuclear talks in Geneva this week as a key diplomatic success, but the problems that torpedoed previous efforts to win guarantees from Iran that it will not seek the bomb appear undiminished, writes Michael Adler on The Daily Beast.

[[p. 90]] In reply to enquiries, the President [[F. P. Pascoe]] added that the insects in the
snow were all dark in colour, that the holes were on the slope of the mountain on which the sun
was shining directly, and that they were truly cylindrical, not hemispherical, or narrowed [[p. 91]]
at the bottom. His explanation of the phenomenon did not meet with general acceptance; it was
objected that radiation was scarcely likely to produce a cylindrical excavation; and Mr. A. R.
Wallace doubted whether an insect of so small bulk and mass, and which could only give off by
radiation the heat which it had first absorbed, was capable, even though of dark colour, of
absorbing sufficient to produce the considerable melting of the snow around it which the President
had described.

Back in the day, whenever my Long Beach Wilson water polo team played (and usually beat, by the way) a high school from Newport-Mesa, early the next morning I'd drive down to Orange County to pick up the Daily Pilot.
This newspaper covered (and still does) the minor sport of prep water polo like it was Major League Baseball, which was quite thrilling to a 17-year-old who longed to see his name in type. I'm sure my mom still has the yellowed, musty clips somewhere in her garage.
More often than not, the byline on the water polo articles read, Roger Carlson. And I noticed he didn't just write about water polo. Each time I paged through the Pilot's sports pages, his byline seemed to be on every other story.
I remember thinking, "This guy is something else."
For almost 40 years, Carlson chronicled the Newport-Mesa prep scene for the Daily Pilot, first as a reporter and later as an editor. His labor of love had a positive impact on literally tens of thousands of high school athletes who, like me, are forever grateful for having achievements from their glory days published in the Pilot.
In 2003, Carlson quietly retired from his position as sports editor of the Pilot and slipped away with his wife Dorothea to San Juan Capistrano. Not one to like the spotlight, this suited Carlson just fine. No going-away parties, no honors, no fuss.
No fair.
The Newport-Mesa sports community — the former athletes, their parents, families, coaches, administrators and fans — owe Carlson at least a great big thank you for the service he provided them.
And I can think of no better way to say thank you than to name the press box at Newport Harbor High's Davidson Field after him.
"The Roger Carlson Press Box" — it just sounds right.
"I'd feel very honored," said Carlson, now 74, when I told him about the idea. "The press box was like my home for a long, long time. I'd be very proud of that."
For those of you who don't know the local legend, here are the Cliff's Notes on Roger Carlson's life.
Carlson, raised in Monrovia, joined the Marines in 1954 as a 17-year-old fresh out of high school. After rising to the rank of sergeant, he left the service three years later and found work at an electrical wholesaler.
And then he received a fateful call from a childhood friend, Glenn White, who was the sports editor of the Pilot. White encouraged Carlson to become a reporter.
"I had no experience, and English was my worst subject in school," Carlson said. "But Glenn said he would teach me."
In 1964, Carlson started stringing for the Pilot, reporting on sports events in his off-hours and soaking up every lesson he could from White. A few years later, he was hired full-time and worked for the next 25 years as a sports writer.
"I covered at least 750 high school football games during that time," Carlson said. "And for the majority of them, I was in the press box at Davidson Field."
In 1988, Carlson was promoted to sports editor. I worked with him for a decade, and always considered him the classic newspaperman. He didn't care much for nonsense, expected his crew to love the job as much as he did (translation: work long hours without complaint), and demanded the Pilot get any local sports scoop.
Though a tough former Marine, Carlson had a soft spot when it came to the student-athletes of Newport-Mesa. It's why he worked 70-plus hours, seven days a week for decades. He wanted to make sure each athlete got his or her fair share of ink.
And he made sure no one was ever embarrassed. In Carlson's world, no teenager ever threw an interception. He'd insist the play be reported from the positive perspective — from the player who made the interception.

If you're looking for fast food that isn't "fast food," pass up the chain restaurants and cruise on over to Beaumont's White Horse Bar & Grill for a dining experience unlike any other. Open daily 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., White Horse is conveniently situated close to Parkdale Mall on the city's north end, but nestled away from mall traffic on the opposite side of the freeway.
From the good-times team that brought you Goodfella's and Madison's comes Beaumont's latest Frankie Randazzo/Buck Maraist brainchild – Bar Local – now open in the old Pacesetter Lounge at the Colonnade Shopping Center on Phelan Boulevard.
The American Cancer Society is calling out to local cowboys and cowgirls to "saddle up" for the much-anticipated annual Southeast Texas Cattle Barons' Ball, an event that not only features fine cuisine and Grammy Award-winning entertainment, but does so while at the same time investing in the battle against cancer.
Downtown Beaumont is shutting down traffic to show its colors Saturday, Oct. 11 – more specifically, pink and teal to symbolize support for survivors of breast and ovarian cancer, and to celebrate the lives of those who have been taken by the diseases.
If this year's Thanksgiving recipes are seeming a little outdated and bland, or if dinnertime around the house could use some sprucing up, Beaumont has an event to help with that.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

What to do if they get it wrongAs the last taxpayers scurry to complete their 1998/99 tax returns before January 31, you may feel quite complacent if you filed some months ago and have already received the Revenue's calculation. But are you sure that the taxman got the figures right?

RE: Cemeteries at Mountain Grove
Hi Lorraine,
I asked Mark, one of the Find A Grave admins which form of name he would prefer to see as the name for the cemeteries, the official ones or the ones on the signs, and he indicated the signs are the way to go, and the official ones as AKAs for search purposes.
I'll put in some name change requests on the Cemetery Corrections forum.

RE: Cemeteries at Mountain Grove
Thanks for your reply Lorraine, I got an e-mail notice from Find A Grave that you had replied, but before I could check it Find A Grave (and I gather Ancestry as well) were knocked of the air by a hacker attack, so I didn't get to actually read your message until now.
This is a bit of a conundrum to know what would be the best way to handle this in Find A Grave terms. From what you say are these cemeteries now actually administered as a single cemetery by South Frontenac? If that is the case I wonder if they should be merged in Find A Grave. Or do any of them still have an independent existence, i.e. does St. John's still have any connection to the Anglican church? If they do still have a separate existence do we go with the sign or the official name? Personally I would tend to go with the sign (whatever the official name might be) since that is what people actually visiting the cemetery will see.
Thanks for your kind words about my site. I love walking around in cemeteries and am extremely thankful that the Cataraqui Cemeteries are close enough to the Via station that a non-driver like myself can easily walk to them from the station.
I am hoping that by the end of this year I will have finished photographing all of the legible stones in Cataraqui United Church Cemetery, although it will take far longer than that to get the photographs catalogued and loaded on various sites. I had a chance to meet with the church board member that handles cemetery matters on my last visit last fall.

Cemeteries at Mountain Grove
Hello, I see you have added photographs of the cemetery signs for Olden Cemetery and for St. John's Anglican Cemetery. As a non-driver I have never had a chance to get to any of the three cemeteries that are located on the same corner. My information on these cemeteries has mostly come from Tom Fox, who has family members buried in all three of them.
My understanding from him is that Mountain Grove Cemetery, located on the south-east corner is a distinct cemetery from Olden Cemetery, located on the north-west corner. He says that Mountain Grove Cemetery is still active, but Olden Cemetery no longer has any plots to sell and is largely inactive, although there is still the occasional burial for members of families that already own plots there that still have space.
When I created a record for Olden Cemetery I had not seen a picture of the current sign, so I used the name used for that cemetery by the OGS in their transcription of "Mountain Grove (Olden) Cemetery" Given what the sign now says I would want to have "Mountain Grove (Olden) Cemetery" changed to "Olden Cemetery". However, I see you have added the photograph for Olden Cemetery to the record for Mountain Grove Cemetery and not to Mountain Grove (Olden) Cemetery, and someone, possibly your or possibly someone else, has added Olden Cemetery as a synonym for Mountain Grove Cemetery.
It is possible that you have local knowledge of the cemeteries that I do not. Do you have reason to believe that Mountain Grove Cemetery and Olden Cemetery kitty-corners from each other are the same? Tom was quite certain that they were not the same, and his family knowledge of these cemeteries is quite extensive. The OGS also seems to consider them to be separate cemeteries, as their transcription (one I unfortunately do not have) lists them separately and is called "Mountain Grove (two cemeteries) and St. John's Anglican, 40 pp."
I would like to discuss this with you to see if we can reach an agreement on how to handle this that we can present in the Cemetery Corrections forum.

Former NFLPA President Domonique Foxworth, who played in the NFL for seven seasons and served on the union's executive committee for eight years, was a candidate for the NBPA executive director position to which Washington, D.C., lawyer Michele Roberts was recently elected. Before closing the book on that process, Foxworth, who will graduate from the Harvard School of Business next May, wrote about his views on how athletes can best lead their unions for The Early Lead.
There's a W.E.B. Dubois quote that I've had scribbled on a Post-it note in my office for years. It served as my mantra when negotiations became tedious or engagement was low, "Our unrealized strength is so enormous that the world wonders at our stupid apathy."
Having been a long-time leader in the NFLPA and involved in this extended NBPA search process, I understand well the potential opportunities and pitfalls inherent in running a professional sports union. And I know how important it is to have the right leaders guiding the organization.
The NBA players made a smart choice in selecting Michele Roberts to help lead the union. She's talented, and tenacious–a true trailblazer, and I fully expect her to have a long and successful tenure. Her career as one of the top trial lawyers in the country likely presented more of an intellectual challenge than she will face day-to-day as the new NBPA executive director. Frankly, the business of sports is not that complicated. And, while having extensive sports experience or being a former player may be preferred by some, I have never thought that it should be a prerequisite and I commend the NBA players for recognizing that.
I know it will be tempting for Roberts and the NBPA executive committee to getstarted by immediately concentrating on the on the work: the negotiations, the bargaining, the CBA. I recommend differently.
The single most important job for the union staff and leadership is to communicate directly and frequently with the members. From my experience, most players will not seek out information; they will believe what they hear or read in the locker room, from reporters and through social media. That causes problems. So, union leaders need to make sure that the information players hear, comes directly from THEM.
The most significant lesson I learned as a member of the Executive Committee, and later, as President of the NFLPA, was that the negotiation strategies, and legal tactics, no matter how brilliant, have a marginal impact on outcomes, at best. The wit, skill and strategies were not the source of the union's power. Our leadership team devoted countless hours to constructing the most innovative, clever, and calculated plans to put us in a position of strength during collective bargaining. But the truth is, the power of a union–or any group, for that matter–comes from the cohesion of its members, not the intellect of the group's leadership.
I cannot emphasize this point enough: The relationship the union's staff and leaders have with the players is paramount. The members' trust in the leadership is the only thing that will move them from apathy to action.
The skills needed to lead a sports union today are much more like those of a politician than a CEO: charisma, vision, and empathy will get you much further than execution and precision. Each player is a different jury and you have to find the best way to get through to him.
Team owners, led by Adam Silver, have cleverly positioned themselves as partners, when, in fact, the relationship is symbiotic at best. This was abundantly clear during the Donald Sterling debacle.
When the owners present a lopsided deal that is meant to divide the union–-and they will–-the players need to remain united and be clear on their adversary. If they already trust the union leadership, and recognize the value and leverage in their own solidarity, then the job will be much easier. Attempts to create competing factions among the members by management will be unsuccessful.
We won't have to wonder about apathy among the players—-the union will have one voice and no dissenters. And then the strength that Dubois reference will be realized.

Cooksey doesn't plan to resume his research, but said his lab in the 1980s figured out how to increase oil production from algae. It developed a system that screened algae for their oil content and greatly reduced the sample size needed for their research. It developed a stain for algae, called Nile Red. When treated with the stain, the algae became fluorescent under certain conditions, making it easier to measure their oil content.
Algae grows naturally along rivers, the seashore, and in the mangrove swamps of southern Florida, Cooksey said. They also grow in wastewater treatment ponds and can be grown commercially in manmade ponds. One design that was tested in the 1980s is a shallow pond that looks like a raceway. Another is a system of deeper ponds. Algae can be grown especially well in desert states that have plenty of sunshine and access to water unusable for traditional agriculture or drinking. Because of its salt content, salt water is more economical than fresh water for growing algae, so southwestern states with saline aquifers might find it easy to grow them.
"In principle, lipids from microalgae are suitable for refining into conventional liquid fuels," said a 1983 annual report from the Solar Energy Research Institute that provided Cooksey's funding and some algal cultures. "Indeed, in the past, biological oils have been refined to fuels during shortages in petroleum supply."
Joseph LaStella, president of Green Star Products, Inc. in San Diego, Calif., raved about the potential of algae in a recent phone call. His company built a demonstration pond in Hamilton, Mont., last spring.
Soybeans produce about 50 gallons of oil per acre per year, and canola produces about 130, he said. Algae, however, produces about 4,000 gallons per acre a year, and he predicted it will go far beyond that. He said algae requires only sunshine and non-drinkable water to grow. The demonstration pond sh

Looks like he is heading towards the "motor plate/ mid plate" deal now. Sure would help in the header fitment department, and get some good "set-back" on the Eng/Trans.
more pics??
Are you keeping the rear torque boxes?
Looks like you're keeping the rear wheel well inner lip?
The rear frame rails look to be wider than the cross member where it's welded up?
Why ladder vs 4 link,..I'd ask the same question if it were the other way around,...
What mfg back half did you choose and why?
FRT-END is a AJE kit
Anthony Jones Susupension is the maker of the front-end. Their parts are available through Summit. The Competition Engineering rear susp. kit fit well, and was priced 'right'! As for the ladder bars, very simplistic and work well..............The car is currently on hold.................

Key West commercial fishery landings had an estimated value of $56 million in 2011, up from $40 million in 2001, according to NOAA's Fisheries of the United States reports. Ocean recreation and tourism support approximately 33,000 jobs in the Florida Keys.
Contributors to the report also included researchers from NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, NOAA Fisheries Service, Southeast Fisheries Science Center, and University of Miami.
The 151-square nautical mile Tortugas Ecological Reserve was designated by the Florida Keys sanctuary in 2001, and its design involved extensive collaboration between commercial and recreational fishermen, divers, scientists, conservationists, citizens-at-large and resource managers. The reserve is closed to all consumptive use, including fishing and anchoring, and a portion of it is open to permitted marine researchers only.

Affleck's 'Argo' wins Directors Guild top honor
Ben Affleck speaks holding his award for outstanding directorial achievement in feature film for "Argo" at the 65th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards at the Ray Dolby Ballroom on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013, in Los Angeles. (Photo by Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ben Affleck has won the top film honor from the Directors Guild of America for his CIA thriller "Argo," further sealing its status as best-picture front-runner at the Academy Awards.
Saturday's prize also normally would make Affleck a near shoo-in to win best-director at the Feb. 24 Oscars, since the Directors Guild recipient nearly always goes on to claim the same prize at Hollywood's biggest night.
But Affleck surprisingly missed out on an Oscar directing nomination, along with several other key favorites, including fellow Directors Guild contenders Kathryn Bigelow for "Zero Dark Thirty" and Tom Hooper for "Les Miserables."
Affleck's Oscar snub has not hurt "Argo" and may even have earned it some favor among awards voters as an underdog favorite. "Argo" has dominated other awards since the Oscar nominations.
"I don't think that this makes me a real director, but I think it means I'm on my way," said Affleck, who won for just his third film behind the camera.
The Directors Guild honors continued Hollywood's strange awards season, which could culminate with a big Oscar win for Affleck's "Argo." The guild's prize for best director typically is a final blessing for the film that goes on to win best-picture and director at the Oscars.
Affleck can go only one-for-two at the Oscars, though. While "Argo" is up for best Login to read more

This week's featured artist is Debbie Miller, an illustrator and painter from Rhode Island.
When I looked through Debbie's painting blog, I absolutely loved her free, illustrative style; so I decided to pick out three of her works to share with you.
Sunnyside Up 2 is one of several bold, loosely brushed small paintings of flowers in simple glass jars.
The colors are so beautifully intense and it's such a straightforward painting that it's easy to miss how the glass jar is shaped with just a few simple strokes of black, white, and reflected purple color.
Debbie's drawing skills are made even more obvious in this next painting, entitled Patience.
There were actually several paintings of children in Debbie's blog, and all of them are very well done.
In Patience, not only has she captured the shapes and proportions correctly, but there's even a sense of softly dappled light falling on the children's skin. That's a tricky thing to paint, but she pulled it off quite well.
And finally, my favorite (probably because of the high contrast and summery vibe) is this painting entitled Summer Shoes.
It has a great composition full of strong diagonals, well-balanced positive/negative space, a few bold colors, and iconic summer imagery—what more could you ask for?
It's perfect.
And of course, if you liked these then head on over to Debbie Miller's daily painting blog and check out the rest of her paintings. You won't be disappointed.

The Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) is an audio codec developed by Apple and supported on iPhone, iPad, most iPods, Mac and iTunes. ALAC is a data compression method which reduces the size of audio files with no loss of information. A decoded ALAC stream is bit-for-bit identical to the original uncompressed audio file.
The Apple Lossless Audio Codec project contains the sources for the ALAC encoder and decoder. Also included is an example command line utility, called alacconvert, to read and write audio data to/from Core Audio Format (CAF) and WAVE files. A description of a 'magic cookie' for use with files based on the ISO base media file format (e.g. MP4 and M4A) is included as well.

Nice graph, thanks. To be really complete and fair it should contain Cuetools libflake or FlacCL imho since it has Cueetools ALAC.
Edit: with fair i mean this graph suggests ALAC can compress better as flac but in reality it only does because of the effort of the programmer. It should only be fair to use the corresponding flac encoder coming from the same synapses.

• Watch Ball's News Conference
MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin senior running back Montee Ball spoke to the media Monday about his attempt to break the NCAA touchdown record, Ohio State and Senior Day. Archived video of the media session is available through the link above, and a complete transcript of Ball's remarks can be found below.
Question: Do you look back to that Ohio State game two years ago? Ball: I think I look back on it when times get tough. I look back on it and tell myself I went through that. I went through that challenging time, so anything that comes my way again, I'm able to overcome it.Question: Montee, how aware are you of the touchdown record heading into this week, and how do you balance that with an important game? Ball: I'm very aware of it. But mainly what I'm focusing on is and I talk to coach (Thomas) Hammock about it every day, and he makes sure to tell me that try not to think about it, keep doing what you're doing and it will unfold. It will happen is basically what he tells me. It's really easy to not think about it a lot because I still have to go out there and perform with my teammates. I'm a really humble player, so I try not to talk about it much.Question: Montee, is there a difference to you in holding the record by yourself or sharing the record? Referring to last year sharing the single-season scoring record instead of holding it outright. If so, does that motivate you to get a couple more scores to have the records all to yourself? Ball: I like both. I like to I'm the kind of player that I like to have my own records, I believe everyone does, but I also like to share with my teammates. Just talking about the last game having the rushing record with Melvin (Gordon) and James (White). That's something I probably will never forget. Obviously, I want the touchdown record because that's something I'm really working hard for, and really that's kind of something that all of us will share together. Question: I meant sharing the record with Barry Sanders last year.Then, yeah, I want to break it. If I do tie it and that's the only thing I do is tie this one, then I'll still be blessed, but I'm definitely shooting to break it. Question: I'm sure you know your teammates on the defensive side of the ball don't like it when opponents do good things against them, whether it's setting a record, scoring, whatever. Do you anticipate Ohio State's defenders are coming here thinking there's no way in hell he's going to get that record against us? Ball: Of course. I was thinking about that actually earlier today. I know for a fact that Urban (Meyer) is a very competitive guy. I know for a fact that's what he's telling them. And that's going to create a great game, I think, for our fans. Yeah, if I was him, I wouldn't want for anybody to break a record on me.Question: Did you ever think you might not get this record this season? Ball: Great question. At the beginning of the year, just everything that happened to me this summer and coming out of the gates real slow, personally, I kind of thought it was way out of hand's reach for myself. But I'm really glad I stuck with it and kept fighting and kept pushing and kept working hard with my teammates in practice. And now that I'm close to getting it, it seems possible.Question: The past calendar year, you've mentioned the Ohio State game from 2010 countless times. Would you say that's your biggest motivating factor that's gotten you to where you are today? Ball: Yeah, for sure. I believe I'm happy that that happened because that really showed me what I have to do during practice because I wasn't I was working hard, but I wasn't working as hard as I am now. I wasn't doing the extra that you need to do every day to be a really good player in college football. So I'm really glad that happened. I tell you every time, when times get hard, I look back on that time because that was the first time I wasn't able to play in the football game, and that was really challenging to myself. Now I make sure to look back on it and keep telling myself I overcame that, so anything else that comes my way, I can overcome it. I'm really glad that happened because it really opened up my eyes.Question: When you stood there on the sidelines that day and you weren't playing, did you think two years from now I'm going to be going for the career record for touchdowns? How far away from your mind was that thought? Ball: It was far. I wasn't thinking about that at all. At the time, I was thinking about switching positions. Switching to linebacker, just trying to find any way to get on the field. But I most definitely wasn't thinking the following year I was going to have 39 touchdowns, and this year the chance to break the touchdown record. I wasn't thinking that at all.Question: Obviously, you're close with James White, and I'm just curious, if you do get the record at some point, whether it's this weekend, whatever, what do you think his reaction will be? And do you think he might remind you that of the three tailbacks, you have the third highest per carry average? That you're behind him and Melvin (Gordon)? Ball: That's a good question. I actually don't know what his reaction I believe he'll be excited for me because we like to share moments together. We're really close with one another, so I believe he's going to be just as excited as I am. Same with coach (Thomas) Hammock, a lot of things with coach Hammock that I really enjoy. But really with James, I think that you know, he's one of my best friends here in college because we share so many experiences together, and obviously, we live with each other. But he and myself are going to joke around. They do joke around with me that I have the lowest average per run.Question: Do you think you'd be a pretty good linebacker right now? Where do you think your career would be if you were tuned up to tackle Braxton Miller this weekend? Ball: I have some years of experience with linebacker, but I don't think I'd be pretty good. I'm glad to see that I stuck with the running back. But, yeah, Braxton Miller, he's a phenomenal athlete. He puts a lot of pressure on defenses, but I'm really confident in our linebackers to get the job done.Question: Montee, if you were to get that one touchdown to tie and two to break it, where do you think that would place you among the history of college football?
Ball: Well, I just have a nose for the end zone. It kind of says it itself. I'm the one who has ever scored the most touchdowns, if I break the record, and just that person that you want to give the football to.Question: Have you guys set a magic number this week for rushing yards? Ball: Actually, no, not yet. We do that tomorrow. Every position group has their position goals, basically. Last week was the 400 yards off the linemen. For us, it was 200 yards after contact. I think that's great that we do that.Question: Is it important for you to get the record at home, Montee? Ball: Yeah. I believe it it's the ideal picture basically for myself is to break the record here at home in my last home game.Question: A couple years ago, I think you were more of a power back. Last year you stripped down some weight, got a little bit faster. This year you seem like you've evolved even further in the passing game and you seem like you're a little bit faster. How do you feel like you've evolved over the last two years, and how much emphasis have you put on that, and where do you think you are right now as a player? Ball: I feel like I just like you said, going from my sophomore year to my junior year, I knew that there was a lot more tackles I could have broken, a lot more yards I left out on the field in my 2010 season, not getting as much rushing yards. Kind of put a bad taste in my mouth. So going into my junior year, I made sure I was going to shed some weight. I believe that helped a lot. Obviously, from that year to this year, what I really focused on was doing a lot of things better without the football, which is pass protection, just being able to read the defense pre snap a lot better than I did last year, and I believe that's helped me out a lot and this team.Question: Do you think the coaches have ever gone out of their way to try to help you get this record or do anything extraordinary, or do you think it's just kind of happened? Ball: Just happening because the thing with Wisconsin, which is why I chose this school, the tradition here, the environment, the family lifestyle, they never want to they don't want to out single a person. Basically, they don't want to make me seem like I'm above everyone else. They're not going to go out of their way to give me a record. They're just going to make sure they keep doing what they're doing. Last week against Indiana, we established the run game, and if we need to throw it, we'll throw it.Question: Coach Bielema said earlier he's not going to limit any guys for this game or the next game considering that you already are playing for the Big Ten Championship game. Do you feel like that's the right decision? And how would you react if coach in the third quarter was like, hey, Montee, we're not going to play you anymore? Ball: Well, I feel it's the right decision because whatever coach B decides to do, we're behind him 100 percent. He's been doing the right thing. I believe that we all should play. We should play with all weapons because this is still a game on our schedule, we're all competitors, and from what we left on the field last year against Ohio State, we want to make sure we win this year. If he did do that, take me out in the third, third quarter, fourth quarter, whatever, I'll be fine. I'll be fine with it. Question: Montee, everyone likes to score touchdowns. They say you have a nose for the end zone. What does that mean? What is it that drives you and makes you so good at finding the goal line? Ball: Just what I tell myself. I tell myself I don't want to finish a drive out with a field goal. I believe that you make a huge statement when you finish out a drive with a touchdown. And that's what I keep preaching to myself at practice. So I make sure I practice it and practice hard and carry it forth in the game.Question: Montee, one of the main reasons you came back this year was to prove your NFL stock and to be there for your teammates, more so on the NFL. Have you done what you wanted to do this year, improving your body and your game to be a bigger impact, better draft next year, and have you heard any feedback that would kind of reaffirm that smart decision you made? Ball: I feel like I have proved a lot this year because you know, obviously, we struggled in the beginning of the year. We had to make a coaching change. So it's no secret we lost some great players up front. They're playing in the NFL now. So we were struggling at first. I think right now what I've shown everybody is that I'm capable of making defenders miss, and the YAC, yards after contact, which was huge for me. As of right now, I haven't heard anything back from anybody. Right now I'm just going to keep playing.Question: I'm sure with the stuff that went on in the off season, the couple of tough losses so far this year, there have been some times that probably haven't been too happy for you personally. What has this season taught you, I guess? What do you take away from this season so far? Because it really hasn't been all smooth sailing, even going back to the off season. Ball: Someone actually asked me that question, kind of a similar question the other day, and I think I cherish this season more than I do last year because I've always been taught growing up, my parents made sure to teach me that everything's not going to go your way. That's basically the definition of a man is how he overcomes adversity, and I overcame a lot of it, starting with everything that happened to me this past summer and then stumbling out of the gate with my teammates. I just feel like all of that shapes the person that I am now, today, and I believe that's going to help me out with whatever I feel like doing from here on out.Question: Montee, how will you remember this group of seniors, and what do you think your guys' legacy is going to be here? Ball: I'm definitely going to remember every single one of them because we all have different stories, we all come from different backgrounds, and the great thing about it is coming from all the different backgrounds, we all come together for one common goal, and that's something that you cherish as a player. And you really start to see it as you get older. When you get older, and the legacy that we're trying to leave is being the Big Ten champs again, and if we win it, it will be the first time here, right? Three-consecutive years. So that's most definitely what we're trying to leave.Question: Since you started this stretch here, obviously, I'm just curious, how has your life changed away from football? When you're walking around campus and you interact with other students, how has it changed? Ball: It's changed a lot. The bus kind of didn't help. Not saying it was a bad thing. I enjoy it. But it's fun. Humbling to see people run up and want autographs. It's something that I enjoy and cherish.Question: What do you think is going to be going through your head on senior day? Are you thinking it's going to be your last game at Camp Randall, or is it just another game? Ball: I think it actually hit me after the last game with Indiana. I was thinking this next game is going to be my last game at Camp Randall. It hits me every single day at random times, but it's kind of bittersweet. It's kind of sad. You know, that's the last time I'll be able to play here, but everything that I've done here is something that I can look back on and really love to think about.Question: Coach Bielema said you ran like a man possessed on Saturday. Are you trying to make a late push to be a Heisman finalist. Is that true? Ball: I didn't say it, but of course, it's something that I would love. The experience that I had there last year is something that I most definitely want to go back to. It was one heck of an experience. It's just another award that we all want. We all want awards, our own personal goals met, and that's something that we look forward to.Question: You talk about cherishing this season because things haven't gone easy for you, starting with the summer. Do you think the same can be said about the team in general? Given what happened with the O line, given what happened with the quarterback spot and the positions all over? Ball: Yeah, for sure. Like I said, we all stumbled out of the gate. I believe in the early games we lost, I believe they're going to help us in the next couple of games we have because Ohio State and Penn State are good teams. We've been in fourth quarter games, and at times we fell short, but I believe those losses are going to help us really show the young players that every minute counts, every play counts.

FORT WORTH, Texas – The speed in Jimmie Johnson's No. 48 Chevrolet was positively jaw-dropping.
Able to pull away from his pursuers with apparent ease, Johnson finished three positions ahead of Matt Kenseth in Sunday's AAA Texas 500, breaking a tie for the lead in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, but – make no mistake – Johnson's performance amounted to a brutal bludgeoning of Kenseth and the rest of the opposition.
Kenseth hurt his own cause with a pit-road speeding penalty, but not even a perfect day on pit road likely would have overcome the dominance of the five-time champion, who led 255 of 334 laps en route to his third victory at Texas Motor Speedway, his sixth of the season and the 66th of his career.

Water: Climate Change and Water
Southeast Climate Change and Water
The Southeast climate region includes a wealth of ecological and economic resources, such as barrier islands, extensive estuaries, busy shipping ports, and important commercial and recreational fishing resources.
Given the continuing population and business growth in the southeastern coastal states, and the ensuing pressures on the coastal zones of this region, decreased water supply is an issue, as well as increased flooding; sea level rise and intense tropical storms compounded by land subsidence; and heat-related stress on aquatic ecosystems and human health. For more information about the overall impacts of climate change in the Southeast, in addition to water impacts, visit EPA's main climate change website.
Highlights of EPA and Partner Activities
- The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Task Force involves states, tribes, federal agencies, local governments, and thousands of citizens and organizations, working together to prepare the Gulf Coast region to transition from response to recovery and address the decades-long decline that the Gulf's ecosystem has endured.
- The South Atlantic Alliance and the Gulf of Mexico Alliance are voluntary collaborations among states to enhance the ecological and economic health of the regions, and ultimately the nation. EPA is developing tools and promoting resilience to manage the impacts of sea level rise by engaging regional ocean and Great Lakes partnerships such as these.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency's Long Term Community Recovery Program is working with EPA to encourage pre-disaster planning through pilot regional partnerships. These partnerships promote use of sustainable, resilient reconstruction and energy management improvements into damaged water and wastewater facilities in declared disaster areas.
The Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program has received Climate Ready Estuaries grants to help local communities address climate change, and it is developing model language for comprehensive plans, environmental indicators of climate change, and ecological models.
The Public Water Supply Utilities Climate Impacts Working Group is a collaborative effort focused on increasing the relevance of climate change and variability data and tools to the planning and operations of Florida's public water supply utilities.
The Southeast Climate Consortium uses advances in climate sciences to develop partnerships and solutions for managing climate risks to agriculture and natural resources in the Southeastern region.
