A Rocket to Nowhere
"The goal cannot be to have a safe space program - rocket science is going to remain difficult and risky. We have the right to demand that the program have some purpose beyond trying to keep its participants alive. NASA needs to take a lesson in courage from its astronauts and demand either a proper, funded mandate for manned exploration, or close the program. The commercial, technological, and intellectual allure of manned exploration is so great that it will not be a hard case to make."

The Kool-Aid Point
"You don't really have passionate users until someone starts accusing them of 'drinking the Kool-Aid.' If you create passionate users, you have to expect passionate detractors. You should welcome their appearance in blogs, forums, and user groups. It means you've arrived. Forget the tipping point - if you want to measure passion, look for the Kool-Aid point."

MEXICO CITY (AP) - The family of says Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez says his health is "very fragile" a week after leaving a Mexico City hospital.
Garcia Marquez is at his home in Mexico City after eight days in the hospital last week for treatment of pneumonia and related problems.
A statement issued late Monday by his wife Mercedes and his sons says he will continue "in convalescence at home."
The statement says "his condition is stable, though he is very fragile and there are risks of complications corresponding to his age."
The 87-year-old Colombian is the author of works such as "One Hundred Years of Solitude." His extraordinary literary celebrity has spawned comparisons to Mark Twain and Charles Dickens.
He has lived in Mexico for three decades.

Backup Exec 2012 AVVI possible Glitch?
Hi all,
I just wanted to share this event that happened to me today.
I installed BE 2012, connected to vCenter and everything's fine. Everything backups fine (even with GRT) and the whole install was done using best practices from the Technotes.
I created two jobs for the tests:
- Backup without GRT activated (for Linux VMs and some Windows VMs where GRT is not required). This runs fine.
- Backup with GRT (both files and applications). This one we had an issue.
The issue we had was with this particular VM (PELIMWEB02). It has installed the following:
- Windows Server 2008 R2
(This VM had an initial issue which didn't allow to push-install RAWS. After many hours of troubleshooting, I finally managed to do a push install and start a backup job to test integration.)
The first time I ran the "Backup with GRT" job, it showed warnings (Backup exec is not able to communicate with the VM and all that. In short, it said I wouldn't be able to do GRT restores). However, when I checked the catalogs (say, tried a restore), I could see AND restore files from that particular VM.
So, I suspected it had something to do with IIS (because it is the only "application" running there). I created another job with the same config as the one above...but this time just with PELIMWEB02. The glich was that on the job list it says "Correct"...but in the history says "Correct with exceptions". Again, I checked the catalogs and was able to do a GRT based restore.
Finally, I changed the job settings to just do a File System GRT backup. This time, both were "Correct". No exceptions.
So, I ended creating a third job, "Backup with Filesystem GRT but no APP GRT". Customer was satisfied in the end.
So, the following questions arise:
- Does IIS has an effect on AVVI application Backup? I understand that VMs which do not support GRT (e.g. Linux based) needs to have separated jobs, else it will fail, but why do I have to have two different GRT based jobs?
- Why does the job says "correct" while the job history (for the same job) says "Correct with exceptions". Kinda misleading.
I hope you understood me, english is not my mother tongue.
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Just by having Application GRT enabled we will attempt to talk to the remote agent near the start of the job and you can therefore then get an error either if we cannot talk to that remote agent, or possibly if we can talk to the remote agent, but there are no database technologies on the system to backup. If we cannot talk to the remote agent then either there is no access to Port 10,000 (firewall etc) or the trust relationship has not been correctly configured.
If you do not need App GRT then for the backup itself (even for file system GRT) we do not need to talk to the remote agent. Hence even though you had an error you could still recover individual files.
As an aside if this 2008 R2 system contains one of the following then it might be corectly try to use App GRT and then failing with some other problem
a) A domain controller
b) running any kind of SQL instance (even SQL express)
c) running any component of Sharepoint (is the IIS server involved withj a Sharepoint farm?)
d) running Exchange
1> I am guessing its not due to IIS, may be because you have enabled Application GRT and there were no applications like SQL Exchange and AD
2> Linux needs seperation as the Backup application will try to use its GRT api on Linux and it will not be able to complete a GRT as its not windows since only windows is supported for GRT
3> It may be due the point no 1...as it cannot find applications howerver all the required information is backed up and good for the restore so it reports the job as successful

UWM poll shows support for proposed iron ore mine, mixed opinions on casino, opposition to sales tax increase
The Wisconsin Economic Scorecard released for the second quarter of 2013 reveals support among registered voters for the proposed Gogebic Taconite open-pit iron ore mine in northern Wisconsin (51% in favor/35% opposed) and mixed opinions on whether or not the governor should approve a new Menominee tribal casino in Kenosha (44% in favor/41% opposed). Additionally, the poll shows strong opposition among voters in the seven-county metro Milwaukee region to a possible sales tax increase aimed at funding renovation or replacement of the Bradley Center (27% in favor/69% opposed).
The Wisconsin Economic Scorecard is a quarterly poll of Wisconsin residents conducted by the UWM Center for Urban Initiatives and Research (CUIR) in cooperation with Milwaukee Public Radio (WUWM 89.7) and WisBusiness.com. The survey measures perceptions of the health of Wisconsin's economy, personal economic circumstances of Wisconsin residents, and public opinion regarding important state economic issues.
The research brief for the scorecard is available at http://www4.uwm.edu/cuir/research/wi-econ-scorecard.cfm
Other major findings:
Regarding the pace of job creation in the state, 52% of Wisconsin residents express dissatisfaction, while 48% say they are satisfied. One in four say they are "very dissatisfied," compared to just one in twenty who say they are "very satisfied."
58% of residents feel the state is heading "in the right direction," but just 30% give the current state economy a positive evaluation.
A majority of Wisconsin residents (52%) expect that the state economy will "stay about the same" over the next year. The proportion of residents expecting the Wisconsin economy to "get better" has decreased to 34%, down from over 50% at this time last year.
The proportion of Wisconsin residents describing their personal financial situation as "poor" has increased for the fifth consecutive quarter, rising to 18%.
More Wisconsin residents feel that granting a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants would have a negative impact on the state economy (41%) rather than a positive impact (28%) or no real impact (31%).
This poll is a random digit dial telephone survey of 427 Wisconsin residents conducted from September 23-26. Margin of error: All respondents ±4.7% Registered voters ±4.9% 7-county Metro Milwaukee voters ±7.9%.
CONTACT: Joseph Cera, manager of the CUIR Survey Center, is available Thursday, Oct. 3, and Friday, Oct. 4, at 414-229-2676 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

How we got our rights—and how little our presidents contributedWednesday, June 13, 2012 at 9:38 pm by Samuel Walker
Over the past 100 years Americans have experienced an explosion of individual rights. When President Woodrow Wilson took the oath of office in March 1913, there were no meaningful protections of freedom of speech or press, or of equal protection or due process. Racial segregation prevailed in the South, birth control information was banned from the mails, and homosexuality dared not publicly speak its name.
Today, we enjoy arguably the broadest range of formal protections of civil liberties of any country in the world. While it is true that racial justice and many other rights remain a dream, our achievement is truly impressive and can properly be called a "rights revolution."
How did we get these rights? The principal theme of my new book, Presidents and Civil Liberties From Wilson to Obama, is that our presidents have not been leaders in the growth of American liberties. Indeed, several chief executives committed the worst violations of civil liberties. Wilson suppressed freedom of speech and press in World War I; Franklin D. Roosevelt placed 117,000 people in concentration camps; Richard Nixon set in motion spying and burglaries directed against his critics, and then conspired to obstruct justice; Ronald Reagan violated federal laws in the Iran/Contra affair; the abuses of George W. Bush are too fresh in our memory to need reciting here.
Harry Truman was the only president ever to risk his political career in the support of individual rights. His position on civil rights between 1946 and 1948, including the first national civil rights commission and his order to desegregate the armed services, was far in advance of public opinion, including the attitudes of whites outside the south.
To be sure, since the 1970s Democratic Party presidents have supported women's rights, reproductive rights, racial justice, and more recently LGBT rights. But with the exception of Jimmy Carter, who criticized discrimination against homosexuals in the 1976 election, they did not take the lead on these issues. Rather, they followed, and that is the point. Even sympathetic presidents support civil liberties issues only when a substantial constituency presses for it.
In short, we got our rights over the past 100 years because people and groups thought about what a freer society might look like and then embarked on the long and arduous task of making it come true. Grassroots activism was responsible for bringing the landmark court cases that we typically use as short hand for rights progress—championing the issue, finding the clients, drafting the legal briefs.
Which brings us to the present moment. President Barack Obama has greatly disappointed civil libertarians, particularly on national security issues. His opponent Mitt Romney is beholden to a Republican Party that is waging a war on women and an assault on voting rights, is indifferent to the rights of people of color, particularly immigrants, and is opposed to constitutional limits on national security powers. Vote as you will this November, but if the past is any guide we need to look beyond presidents and our warped political debates. Our challenge is to build the broad support for rights that politicians cannot ignore. A pipe dream? It happened before on the rights we enjoy today—and it can happen again.

Not after taking out 20th-ranked Bridgewater- Raynham. Not after coming from behind to edge 45th-ranked Pembroke.
The 6-1 Raiders did not appear on MassWrestling. com's preseason rankings. Now, they hold the 30th spot, 14th in Division 1.
Bridgewater-Raynham? Barnstable's upset win on the road Dec. 14 helped knock that team all the way down to 57.
"We not only beat 'em, we hammered 'em," said coach Mike Magner.
The fi nal score backs him up: Barnstable 47, B-R 28.
"The other team was not expecting us to do what we did," Magner said. "They were shocked."
The Raiders followed up with a 3-0 day in a quad meet Saturday in Hyannis, soundly beating Belmont and Josiah Quincy Upper School of Boston before edging Pembroke in a seesaw battle. Despite the loss, Pembroke climbed to 32nd in the rankings, suggesting the Raiders are gaining a further measure of respect.
"We're steamrolling right now," Magner said. "We've got momentum and the kids are working hard. It's starting to really pick up."
What's more, his charges are coming together as a team, he said, motivating each other and making sacrifi ces for the common good. Alex Glenn, Pete Loumiotis, Rob Greer and Mike Amick have all wrestled in heavier weight classes than their own -- and won -- to give the team a better chance to win.
"I really take my hat off to the guys for doing that," Magner said. "It's very energizing as an adult to see the kids do that for each other, and it says a lot about their character."
For the Raiders, the match against Bridgewater- Raynham began before they even left their own locker room. Someone brought an electric hair trimmer, and by the time they got on the bus, most were sporting Mohawk haircuts.
They also received a surprise visit and pep talk from frequent Cape Cod visitor Greg Strobel, head coach of the U.S. Olympic wrestling team and a friend of Magner's.
When they got to the B-R gym, they got what could have been a bad break when, by the luck of the draw, the match began with the 130-pounders. For Barnstable, that meant unbeaten sophomore Thiago Hoffmann, one of the most improved wrestlers on the team. But for B-R it meant Devin Hennessey, last year's state champion and New England regional fi nalist.
Hoffmann didn't pull off an upset, but it was no walk in the park for Hennessey, who suffered a cut that forced three stoppages during the match and had to settle for a four-point win (on a scale of three to six).
"He frustrated Hennessey," Magner said. "That was a huge moral victory for us and a confi dence builder for Thiago."
After that, it was as if the fi rst domino hadn't fallen but had teetered enough to start the chain reaction: freshman Alejandro Sanz won by pin at 135 pounds (six points); senior Gonzalo Sanz won 1-0 at 140 pounds (three points); junior Jason Corman won by pin at 145 pounds; and junior Ryan Callanan won by pin at 152 pounds. B-R took the next two matches, and with the next three Raiders wrestling up a weight class, the home squad may have been regaining some confi dence.
Wrong. Greer, a senior, moved up from 171 pounds to 189 and won by pin. Loumiotis, a senior, moved up from 189 to 215 and won by pin. And Glenn, a junior, moved up from 215 to 275 and won 5-3. Greer's brother, Tom, a freshman, followed with a pin at 103 pounds and sophomore Richie Joyal won 17-3 at 119 pounds to complete the rout. "We beat 'em up physically and psychologically," Magner said. "It was electric in that gym that night. The kids, they were elated. It was a magical night."
The fi nal against Belmont Saturday was 58-24. Joyal, Hoffmann, Corman, Callanan, Loumiotis, Glenn and Amick, a senior, all won by pin. Sophomore Nick Barreto added four points with a 14-5 win.
Against Josiah Quincy, it was 56-18. Barreto, Hoffmann, Gonzalo Sanz, Callanan, Rob Greer (at 189) and Glenn (against a heavyweight) collected pins. Amick had a fi ve-point win and Joyal and freshman Aaron Nunes (103 pounds) had four-pointers. Freshman Kyle Cocozza added a three-point win in the 160-pound class, a size usually dominated by upperclassmen.
Barnstable got the early lead against Pembroke when the visitors had no heavyweight to send out against Glenn, but Pembroke got the next 12 points before Joyal started a Raider run with a 4-3 win. Barreto scored another pin to put Barnstable ahead, then Hoffmann and Alejandro Sanz each collected four points.
When Pembroke declined to send any of its three 140-pounders out against Gonzalo Sanz, who is ranked third in the state in the category -- "That's ultimate respect right there," Magner said -- the Raiders had built a 28-12 lead.
But then Pembroke roared back, taking the next four matches on three pins and a fi ve-pointer to lead 35-28 with two matches to go -- and both Raiders would be wrestling up a weight class.
Amick, up from 171 to 189, scored a pin, narrowing the margin to one point for Loumiotis, who was nervous going into the deciding confrontation -- "rightfully so, the whole match came down to him," Magner said.
He needed to win by only the narrowest of margins. Instead, he duplicated what he had done against B-R, pinning his larger opponent. "He was the hero for the day," Magner said.

Dispelling frugality myths and living within your means
Too many people confuse being frugal with being miserly, to the point where the simple act of saving money is viewed as being "cheap" by disposable popular media. Rather than viewing your financial life in black-and-white extremes, however, it pays to understand what being frugal truly means. By dispelling frugality myths, one can understand whether it is the right lifestyle for them.
Myth #1: People are frugal because they lack other options
While many people are frugal because the recession has made it a necessity, others practice frugality by choice. WiseBread notes that every purchase we make represents and investment in time. Time worked equals hours paid, and money paid means giving away hours of our lives. Ideally, those hours should count for something, making a frugal purchasing sense important.
Myth #2: Frugal means "cheap" or "tightwad"
"Some tightwads may be cheap and all tightwads are frugal, but not everyone who's frugal is a tightwad or cheap," writes WiseBread. It's a matter of purchasing philosophy, or of levels and degrees. In general, those of the frugal persuasion are more flexible in their search for quality. Cutting corners is only done so that what is most important becomes affordable. Frugality doesn't mean settling for something just because it's cheap. It's about prioritization, making conscious calculations in order to develop a rational spending strategy.
[Take a rational look at how personal installment loans can help you]
Myth #3: Being frugal is tantamount to self-denial
Frugality is about being mindful of how money is being spent. By blowing one's money indiscriminately, the true self-denial is peace of mind. Suppressing the impulse buy reflex frees up money for important, day-to-day expenses – and the occasional, well-measured splurge.
Myth #4: Being frugal means being a slave to coupons
In nearly every walk of life, extreme fundamentalism lends itself to the kind of strident behavior that breeds isolation. Life is a stage for suffering and bean-counting, rather than open-mindedness and the joy of discovery. Frugal individuals may collect aluminum cans, clip coupons and shop on sale days, but they remain flexible. Coupons and bargains serve the frugal individual; the frugal individual does not serve the morass that is 24/7 extreme couponing.
Myth #5: Frugality is impossible
Even in the hyper-accelerated consumer culture of urban America, there are frugal paths that can be taken, choices that can be made. Recycling and other forms of self-sufficiency are frugal hallmarks that everyone from preschool teachers to the First Lady of the United States extol. A creative person can find ways to spend less while making use of more.
Myth #6: Frugal people have no fashion sense
Anyone who has ever spent an afternoon in a thrift store compiling a chic, retro wardrobe knows that this frugality myth simply isn't true. Some people choose to hold onto faded clothing that is coming apart at the seams; they are not frugal. What they are is self-flagellating martyrs with low self-esteem. They should use the clothing money they're hoarding to seek counseling.
Myth #7: Being frugal is too difficult
While being frugal can be a challenge, it isn't too difficult. Exercising financial discipline can require major lifestyle changes, but if changes are introduced gradually – rather than in a fundamentalist, steamroller kind of way – it is easier to adapt. Saving money and becoming debt free become their own reward.

GRAPEVINE, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - There have not been very many flight delays
caused by icy weather at DFW International Airport on Monday morning,
but American Airlines has had a couple unusual problems to tackle.
First, they had a jet somehow end up in the mud, just off of a taxiway. Then, an arriving flight clipped a concrete pillar.
The incident happened just after 8:30 a.m. at Gate D40 in Terminal D.
According to American Airlines spokesman Matt Miller, the flight was
inbound from Leone, Mexico. As it was being towed to the gate, the jet's
left wing struck a concrete pillar that supports the terminal. Douglas
Thompson was a passenger on the flight, and captured a photograph after
the incident occurred.
"As they made the turn to the gate, the wing clipped the concrete
pillar," Thompson said afterward. "Passengers had to wait until they got
someone out, pull it out, and they moved all of us to another gate."
No injuries were reported during this incident.
Miller said that the aircraft was scheduled to continue flying after
its stop in DFW on Monday, but that has now changed. The plane is being
taken out of service for an inspection and any required maintenance.

This recipe is from
YIELD: Makes 10 to 12
- 1 coconut
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- 2 cups very hot water
- 3 cups whole milk
- 3/4 cup sugar, or to taste
- 1 (1-inch) piece Mexican cinnamon
- 1/4 cup rum or coconut liqueur (optional)
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the coconut on a towel with the eyes facing up. Pierce each eye with a screwdriver or ice pick, then empty out the coconut water. (Strain it and reserve for another use, or enjoy it on its own as a cold beverage.) Get out as much liquid as possible by turning the coconut upside down and shaking it.
Put the coconut on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until it begins to crack, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Put the coconut on a towel and use the bottom (nonsharp) edge of a knife or a hammer to tap it all around and help you crack it open. Remove the outer brown shell with your hands, then use a paring knife to remove the thin brown skin.
Cut the cleaned coconut into pieces and shred it using a hand grater or food processor. If you'd like ribbons of coconut inside the paletas, use a vegetable peeler to cut a few thin strips of the roasted coconut before shredding it. Place the strips in a bowl and toss with the salt. Working in batches, blend the coconut with the hot water until as smooth as possible, then strain through a colander or sieve lined with cheesecloth. Squeeze the cheesecloth to extract as much juice as possible, and discard any leftover coconut.
Put the strained liquid in a large saucepan, then stir in the milk, sugar, and cinnamon, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Keeping in mind that the sweetness will diminish as the mixture cools off, taste and add more sugar if you like. Let cool to room temperature, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Stir in the rum.
If using conventional molds, divide the mixture among the molds, snap on the lid, and freeze until solid, about 5 hours. (If you created ribbons of coconut, add them to the molds before adding the liquid.) If using glasses or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to set (1 1/2 to 2 hours), then insert the sticks and freeze until solid, 4 to 5 hours. If using an instant ice pop maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

The Trouble with Oil
The problem isn't just supply and demand: It's that the internal political concerns of producing countries trump economics.
12:00 AM, Aug 24, 2004 • By IRWIN M. STELZER
Meanwhile, as these ominous signs accumulate, politicians fret, strut, and do nothing. President Bush has a multibillion dollar energy bill before Congress that at most would squeeze a relatively few drops of oil from the Arctic, perhaps a decade from now, and gives short shrift to any effort to increase the efficiency with which energy is used in America. Fortunately, Congress has so far refused to pass it, not out of any sudden spurt of parsimony, but because it wants still more goodies placed under this Christmas-tree of a bill.
John Kerry is proposing to denude American dinner tables of corn by converting the nation's crop to expensive methanol, along with somehow forcing consumers to pay for expensive solar power, and effectively foreclosing the nuclear option by opposing a bill he once supported that would create a storage site for nuclear waste in Nevada's Yucca mountain, a state with five up-for-grabs electoral votes. How this will allow Kerry to achieve his stated goal of "energy independence" remains a mystery to all serious observers of the energy scene.
Meanwhile, with America's refineries operating at a stretched 96 percent of capacity, environmentalists continue to oppose any significant expansion of the nation's creaking energy infrastructure, local groups continue to fight to prevent the construction of port facilities that would allow the needed increases in imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG), and voters remain unenthusiastic about a tax that might encourage them to use a bit less gasoline.
In sum, current high prices are the least of America's energy problems.

Alison Bouman scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Tiesha Stokes added 14 points to reach 1,000 in her career, and Kia Frazier added 10 points as the second-ranked and No. 1 seed Davenport women's basketball team scored a 70-52 win over Hastings to reach its third NAIA Fab Four appearance in four years Saturday night.
The Panthers will face the College of the Ozarks (Mo.) tonight at 9 on ESPN3.
Grand Haven's Alex Law reached new heights by making two 3-point baskets to tie Jen Rausch's 2004-05 single-season record of 86 triples in a season. Law, a sophomore, finished the day with eight points, including a layup that played a key role to a 19-4 run that made the difference in the contest.
Stokes, a sophomore from Grand Rapids, joined an elite club as she scored the 13 points she needed to become the 12th member of the Panthers' 1,000 career points list.
The Panthers (34-1) combined for a 46.7 shooting percentage (28-for-60) from the field while being held to only two 3-pointers in six attempts.
Law isn't the only former Buccaneer who plays for the Panthers. Senior Alex Merz has played in 25 games this season, averaging 6.2 minutes per contest. She has scored 34 points, including a season-high nine points in her team's win over Michigan-Dearborn on Feb. 19.
Law has played in 34 games, coming off the bench in every contest. She has provided outstanding offense for the Panthers, averaging 11.4 points per game. On the season, she's knocked down 86-of-199 3-point attempts, good for 43 percent. She's shooting 88 percent from the free throw line and is also pulling down 2.9 rebounds and dishing out 1.1 assists per game.
Law was a first-team all-state performer her senior year at Grand Haven, leading the Buccaneers to a Class A state championship.

The Fans
Following their relegation from the Premiership, Bristol began their campaign in the Championship knowing that winning the league would not be sufficient to see them promoted.
The new rules for the season dictated that the top eight of the twelve team league would qualify for promotion play-offs, with the remaining four competing together to avoid relegation. A number of the previous season's squad remained at the club; they were joined by several experienced newcomers, as well as some promising Academy players. Scrum half Jason Spice was named first team captain, while second row Roy Winters became club captain.
From the word go it seemed likely that Bristol's closest rivals for promotion would be Exeter. Having overcome tricky challenges in the opening weeks from London Welsh and Bedford, Bristol lost at home to their west country rivals in early October, but managed to turn the tables with a magnificent performance in the return fixture at Christmas. In the remaining league games the only defeats were at Doncaster and Moseley, while there was a particularly fine win at London Welsh in February. The club finished the league season at the top of the table, going on to negotiate home and away play-off games with Plymouth Albion, Cornish Pirates and Bedford. Only the Bedford away game was lost. Not all the victories saw the players at their best, although the team really clicked in the last group game, destroying Cornish Pirates with some splendid running rugby. London Welsh were beaten in a one-legged semi-final, heralding the predicted end of season showdown with Exeter. Bristol looked to have done a decent damage limitation exercise in holding Exeter to a three point lead after the first leg, but the return at the Memorial Stadium shocked the home supporters, Exeter's convincing 29-10 win condemning Bristol to a further season outside the game's top flight.

Georgia Legislature
Religious freedom, gun bills revisited on final day
by Sarah Fay Campbell
The presumed dead issues of campus carry and religious freedom legislation were revived Thursday during the 40th and final day of the 2014 Georgia General Assembly session.
Votes on various bills were held throughout the day, but final passage of most were held late Thursday and occurred after The Newnan Times-Herald's press deadline.
Sen. Josh McKoon, R-Columbus, was trying to attach his religious freedom language to two bills, one involving unemployment insurance and one regarding unemployment for bus drivers.
A conference committee on HB 60, which expands the places Georgians with firearms licenses can legally carry weapons, was appointed around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Senate Bill 93, which authorizes the use of "suppressors" when hunting, was amended to include provisions that will allow some to carry firearms on college campuses. There were concerns the amendment wasn't "germane," and therefore not proper. The bill headed to the Senate Rules Committee shortly before 6 p.m. Thursday.
One bill that was headed to the governor's desk before 5 p.m. expands the HOPE Grant for technical college students so that it will pay the entire tuition cost for tech college students who have at least a 3.5 grade point average.
House Bill 772, which puts in place drug testing requirements for food stamp recipients, was a topic of hot debate in the Senate. After it passed 29 to 22, there was a motion to reconsider the passage, but that motion didn't get enough votes. Differences between the House and Senate versions still had to be worked out late Thursday.
A similar bill requiring drug tests for those seeking public assistance was passed last year, but parts of it have been held up in court.
Under HB 772, anyone applying for food stamps must pass — and pay for — a drug test. Those on Medicaid will only have to pay $17, but others will pay the full cost of the test. A person who fails is ineligible for one month and must test clean to receive the benefits. The second failed drug test makes someone ineligible for three months, and the third failure makes someone ineligible for a year. That period can be cut to six months if the applicant completes a drug treatment program.
Children of those who fail the drug tests are still eligible for food stamps. However, someone else must be designated to receive the benefits, other than the parent. That designated person may be tested for drugs, if there is reasonable suspicion to believe the person is on drugs.
The Senate voted down HB 757, which would have allowed people who have property under a conservation use easement to remove the property with no penalty if they wanted to install solar panels.
At just after 5 p.m., HB 885, which deals with medical cannabis for certain illness, passed the Senate, and was heading back to the House for approval of Senate amendments. The Senate amendments deal with insurance coverage for children with autism. They require insurance companies to cover certain behavioral treatments for those 6 and underw with autism. Insurance mandates aren't popular in the House, and there have been concerns that the mandate could kill the medical cannabis bill.
"It's still going to be problematic," said Rep. Allen Peake, R-Macon, the author of the cannabis bill. "It's a mandate. It's always been problematic for our side."

Not an episode goes by where viewers of The Real Housewive's Of New Jersey are not shocked by the behavior of Jacqueline Laurita's daughter, Ashley. She disobeys rules, lashes out at her parents, and last week, proved that she's not afraid to get physical.
Despite Jacqueline's attempts to reign her daughter in, Ashley becomes more and more rebellious as the season goes on. Which is why we were surprised when pictures surfaced of the 19-year-old with a brand new nose.
After ripping out a chunk of extensions — which were bonded tightly to the head of the show's villain or victim (depending on how you look at it), Danielle Staub — Ashley calmly explained to the New Jersey Police why her actions did not constitute assault.
"Technically, I didn't grab her hair, I grabbed her extensions, so it's really not a part of her," she said.
We wonder what would happen if Danielle punched Ashley in the nose — after all, it's not really part of her.
[Ed Note: To be clear, we are not advocating punching anyone in the nose. Just posing the question.]

A friend recently revealed to me, "Everyone has leagues! Just accept your spot and get used to dating within them." Stink eyes and pssshaws ensued.
From caste systems to waiting for a fellow to ask me out, this concept of "knowing my place" is maddening. To me, it's simple: the only boundaries I have are self-imposed. Okay, so that sounds a bit Tony Robbins-ish, but it honestly never occurred to me that I could be the minority in the go-for-the-gusto dating department.
Taking my friend's attitude for a spin, I examined her theory. The guy that I date shouldn't be considerably better looking than me, be way ahead of me on my professional path, or have a million dollar smile of veneers. Her idea is built upon affording a fair shake to both parties. Take for instance organized sports that create level playing fields according to ability. If you are a C-level player then you would get demolished playing an A-level team and a minor leaguer would be creamed by a pro. Her theory affirms that the same holds true in dating. Otherwise, I am destined to get clobbered with rejection and the agony of defeat if I try to date the team captain. However, if I were dating the C-level player that has a high school education and a great sense of humor, I wonder if her and her fellow "leaguers" would be shaking their heads at my decision.
Is it only dating out of your league if you date up? Or, is it naively upgrading that increases your chances of heartbreak? And if you date below your echelon, are you the lady savior or the chump that dates a loser?
Perhaps it is my Midwest upbringing that defiantly sits me on the side that I don't give a hoot where people come from, what they do for a living, or how good they look. Sure, you don't notice a good heart or a winning personality from across the room, but you can't see the size of his bank account either. So shrug it out, put on a smile and introduce yourself to Mr. Hotstuff and see what happens. Jerks are jerks no matter what league they fall within.
So, after thoughtful consideration, I'm not buying her warning of staying with my kind and sticking to the plan. If that were the case, we would be a boring society devoid of May-December relationships, interracial and gay couples and even househusbands that assume the hardest job around.
Upgrading is where it's at – seek better, bolder, richer, smarter, better looking and more charming. But, just like the California Lottery recommends, you have to play to win.

Work on some simple programming after a long break. Just a simple flash tools to make your own pixel avatar, which can be use as your social media profile pic. I will stop working on this now, and probably will only update the graphic options when I am free.
Pixel Me!!
You can try to pixel avatar maker in my website or in my deviantart.
Behind The Scene
Programming this is very simple. I actually spend more time creating the graphics. If you decide to make your own avatar maker in Flash, there are only few things you need to know
Changing Graphic Option
Different graphic sections (Hair, Eye, Mouth, Nose…) are store in different MovieClip and nested in a main MovieClip. Different options (Hair style1, Hair style 2, Hair style3…) are store in different frames. Then, you can just "gotoAndStop" on a particular frame. For example:
In my case, the file size is quite small and I am doing this all by myself, so I just did all the graphics in one SWF. You could probably did a function to load graphics from external swf/jpg/gif.
Changing Color
To change color, you just need to tint the movieclip. For example:
var tmpColor:Color=new Color();
var tmpTint:uint = e.target.selectedColor; //value from colorpicker component
mcAvatar.hair.transform.colorTransform = tmpColor;
You probably will also want to further divide the graphic into more section, as tinting a MovieClip, will change the whole clip color.
Exporting Image
To export image from ActionScript. Download and install AS3CoreLib. Then you can use the following script to export image.
import com.adobe.images.JPGEncoder;
var tmpBitmap:BitmapData=new BitmapData(mcAvatar.width, mcAvatar.height);
var tmpJPG:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(100);
var tmpByte:ByteArray;
tmpByte = tmpJPG.encode(tmpBitmap);
var tmpFile:FileReference=new FileReference();
tmpFile.save(tmpByte, "avatar.jpg");

The Friday Eudemon
The beatniks understood a simple truth. To have carefree time and genuine freedom, a person has three options: Get a lot money, reduce desires to a minimum, do a little of both. If I were single, I'd opt for the third approach. But whenever I think about using my (very) small bucket of wealth to semi-retire, to work 20 hours a week and use the rest of my time to wander and enjoy every sunny day, I look at my children and trudge back to the office. That kind of detached life simply doesn't fit me. Do I wish I could be like Jack Kerouac or, much better, St. Francis? Sure, but I can't be like Jack or Francis unless I want to be like the Enlightenment philosopher Rousseau, who put his five children in an orphanage to preserve his intellectual leisure.__________ Brews You Can Use Be careful if you buy a blood-alcohol monitor. They're often unreliable. Link. __________ I don't drink distilled spirits, but I found this interesting:
Brown-Forman Corp. has put a new twist on its premium Woodford Reserve bourbon with a limited edition variation distinct for spending a few months aging in the company's Sonoma-Cutrer wine barrels. The experiment blends California chardonnay with Kentucky whiskey culture.Link. _________ The Michigan House of Representatives has adopted a resolution officially designating July 2007 as Michigan Craft Beer Month. Good for my state. Brewing is a little art, like gardening, small talk, cooking, and crocheting (and blogging, since it doesn't quite rise to the level of the great art of literature?). It ought to be encouraged. __________ Hats off to this clever fellow who tried to beat an overbearing system: The landlord of The Wellington Arms in Southampton tried to get around Britain's anti-smoking law by turning his pub into the embassy for a tiny Caribbean island called "Redonda" and citing diplomatic immunity. The plan didn't work. Though conceptually sound, officials decided that Redonda is not classified as a country. __________ Ten beers that changed America. __________ For tomorrow morning:
1 2-pound package Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix 4 to 6 12-ounce cans Olympia beer 1/4 cup vegetable oil or bacon grease While the grill is heating to medium, pour pancake mix into a large bowl. Add beer, one can at a time, until the batter reaches a smooth consistency. When a few drops of water dance and sizzle on the grill, it's ready. Wipe the grill with a thin coating of oil or grease on a paper towel, then drop batter onto the grill, about a half-cup per pancake. Cook about 2 minutes, and flip each cake when the top is covered with air bubbles. Cook another minute then serve. Makes 40-50 4-inch pancakes.The author says you must use Olympia beer. I find that hard to believe, but that's each cook's decision.

Cyclosporine (Sandimmune®, Neoral®)
Cyclosporine (Sandimmune®, Neoral®) is sometimes referred to as CSA or CyA.
Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressant drug that has been used since the early 1980s to prevent organ rejection after transplantation such as a liver transplant.
Cyclosporine prevents rejection by inhibiting T lymphocyte cells, specific cells of the immune system.
Types Available
Cyclosporine is taken by mouth or given by injection. The oral medication is available either as a liquid or in capsule form. Liquid cyclosporine is available in 50-ml (5000-mg) bottles (100 mg is equal to 1 ml). After being opened, liquid cyclosporine remains usable for two months. Cyclosporine capsules are available in 100-mg, 50-mg, and 25-mg doses.
How to Take
Liquid cyclosporine can be diluted in milk, chocolate milk, or orange juice. Do not dilute in grapefruit, pineapple, or papaya juice. Use a glass container, not a Styrofoam cup. Stir the mixture well and have your child drink it immediately. After emptying the glass, add more juice or milk and have your child drink that as well, to ensure that he or she is getting the full dose. Do not rinse the measuring syringe in water.
Capsules should be swallowed whole; they can be taken with or without food. Avoid taking this medication with grapefruit, pineapple, or papaya juice.
Cyclosporine should be taken at the same time each day. If your child takes it twice daily, the doses should be 12 hours apart.
Check with your transplant coordinator if you want to change the time of your child's dose. If you are traveling to a different time zone, contact your coordinator for advice about when your child should take his or her medicine.
Missed Doses
If fewer than three hours have passed since your child missed the dose of cyclosporine, have your child take the missed dose and get back on schedule. If more than three hours have passed, call your coordinator for advice. Taking doses too close together can be dangerous and produce side effects.
If your child misses several doses of cyclosporine because of vomiting, surgery, inability to swallow, or other reasons, he or she can receive cyclosporine intravenously. Tell your coordinator if your child is having problems receiving cyclosporine. If your child needs to receive cyclosporine intravenously, your local doctor can contact your coordinator for information about the correct intravenous dose.
Side Effects
Common side effects of cyclosporine include:
- High blood pressure.
- Increased hair growth. If this bothers your child, different methods of removing excess hair are available. Ask your doctor about the safest one for your child.
- Swollen or inflamed gums. Tell your coordinator if your child has swollen gums. Your child may require more dental care, such as increased brushing and flossing and more frequent dental visits. This side effect usually occurs with higher doses of cyclosporine and may improve as the dose is reduced.
- Numbness or tingling of the hands or feet. This side effect can be a sign that your child's cyclosporine level is high. If your child's medication is causing this side effect, the symptoms should improve as the medication dose is reduced.
- Other common side effects are tremors, restlessness, stomach upset, nausea, cramps, diarrhea, headache, and changes in blood sugar.
Some side effects are more likely to occur in patients who are taking high doses of cyclosporine. If this is the case with your child, you do not need to report isolated symptoms, but do tell your coordinator about increases or trends relating to the following side effects:
- Sinus drainage or runny nose. This effect should improve as the dose is reduced.
- Hot flashes or sweating. This effect may occur several hours after each dose and will improve as the dose is reduced.
- Elevated "kidney numbers." Your child's creatinine and BUN will be monitored as part of irregular laboratory studies, to prevent and/or detect kidney damage. For this reason, it is important to always check with your coordinator before giving your child any new medications that could affect kidney function.
- Increased risk of infection
Rare side effects of cyclosporine include:
- change in urination
- seizures
- fever
- sore throat
- unusual bleeding or bruising
- trouble breathing
- confusion
- blurred vision
- stomach pain
- hearing difficulty
- chest pain
- fatigue
If any of these side effects continues or becomes bothersome, inform your doctor.
Drug Interactions
Many medications may affect cyclosporine absorption. For this reason, it is extremely important that you notify your transplant coordinator of any changes in your child's medication. Do not take large doses of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications when taking cyclosporine.
Be sure to tell your doctor or pharmacist about any other prescription or over-the-counter medication your child is taking, so you can be warned of interactions and prevent them.
If it becomes necessary for your child to begin taking a medication that affects his or her cyclosporine absorption or metabolism, the transplant surgeons may change the cyclosporine dose and order more frequent blood tests to check cyclosporine levels.
Store cyclosporine capsules and liquid at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate or freeze liquid cyclosporine. After a bottle of liquid cyclosporine is opened, the medication is usable for two months. Make sure to check the expiration date on the box or bottle; dispose of any unused cyclosporine after the expiration date.
Take cyclosporine exactly as prescribed, at the same time each day. Never stop taking this medication unless advised to do so by a transplant surgeon or your transplant coordinator.
We recommend that patients who take cyclosporine wear a medical alert bracelet or pendant (such as jewelry marketed under the name Medic Alert) that says "Taking immunosuppressant."
Not all pharmacies stock cyclosporine. Call your pharmacist at least five working days before you need to fill a prescription, to make sure the medication will be available.
Drug information changes periodically. For the most updated information on drugs, visit www.drugs.com.

Ryan's Grill at Ward Centre Restaurant Review: Since 1983, Ryan's has been a bustling lunch and post-work drinks-and-apps spot for Honolulu's young professionals. Accordingly, the menu is heavy on appetizers and making a meal from the ahi poke with Maui onions, fresh ogo and chili oil bolstered by the ground chicken and pork lettuce cups dressed with sambal oelek is no bad thing. For heartier fare, consider the guava-tamarind glazed pork ribs or the mango chicken with tropical fruit relish served with red beans and rice. There are daily specials and that is the place to look if you want seafood---there is woefully little available on the regular menu outside of the aforementioned poke. The beer selection is impressive and the cocktails are always good.

Location: Montreal, Canada
Date: 1976
Architect: Roger Taillibert
Purpose: multi-purpose stadium
More info: The Olympic Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district of Montreal, Quebec, Canada built as the main venue for the 1976 Summer Olympics. It subsequently became the home of Montreal's professional baseball and Canadian football teams. La tour de Montréal, the tower incorporated into the base of the stadium, is the tallest inclined tower in the world at 175 metres, and is a member of the World Federation of Great Towers. The stadium's nickname The Big O is a reference to both its name and to the doughnut-shape of the permanent component of the stadium's roof, though The Big Owe has been used to reference the astronomical cost of the stadium and the 1976 Olympics as a whole.
