Researchers have proven what many caregivers have already figured out on their own: sometimes there's nothing like a good cry to make you feel better. Crying is cathartic.
Neuroscientist and tear researcher Dr. William H. Frey II, PhD, director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota, studies the affects of crying. He's spent over 15 years studying crying and tears.
Research shows:
- 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men felt less sad and angry after crying
- On average, women cry 47 times a year, men cry 7 times a year
- Crying bouts last 6 minutes on average
- Tears are more often shed between 7 and 10 p.m.
According to Frey, "crying is not only a human response to sorrow and frustration, it's a healthy one. Crying is a natural way to reduce emotional stress that, left unchecked, has negative physical affects on the body, including increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and other stress-related disorders.
Here are five reasons why crying is good for you:
1. Crying Relieves Stress
Because unalleviated stress can increase our risk for heart attack and damage certain areas of our brain, the human ability to cry has survival value, Frey says.

Hi folks, well, I just got my 1st. copy (fall 2012) of Spin Off Mag. What a wonderful surprise! I received it early last week and I haven't put it down yet. I have been spinning for over 35 yrs. and mostly on my own. I guess I'm self taught. I guess I never thought that the spinning community was so large! The magazine is priceless! Soooo many great articles and helpful information. Great job by the staff and contributors! I am looking forward to receiving future editions. I'm an old coot (82 yrs.) and I'm alone now that my wife has passed. Spinning has provided me with a comfort and serenity I would not have otherwise. Whether I'm reading Spin Off, or spinning one of my best friends sit in the evenings and discuss all manner of things. (My best friend's name is Baby Cakes, my 13 yr. old cat) We're kind of growing old together. She listens intently to my comments on the magazine articles. I'm so glad took the subscription! Thanks loads, My Best, Jerry
Hi Jerry,
We are so glad you enjoyed your first issue so much!
Happy spinning,
Liz Good
Welcome Jerry,
So glad that Baby Cakes is here to listen to your comments. My own "knitten' kitten" is a 5 yo black short hair that sits in my lap and lets the knitting yarn or the roving just flow over him.
They are priceless!
you are as young as several of my (& 9 yr. old daughter's) friends in our spinning guild! Come visit, or visit your local guild. I bet they will be delighted to have you. We have at least half a dozen gentlemen of all ages that are in our guild. Spin on! - Rachel L.
hi Jerry.........hope your still spinning.................... glad your with us.

There are a lot of Republican politicians who ostensibly favor the repeal of Obamacare. But there are a lot fewer who give the impression of having the ability and determination to lead the way in bringing about that nation-defining result.
Ben Sasse of Nebraska has made his opposition to Obamacare the clear centerpiece of his Senate campaign. He has made plain that he opposes not just Obamacare but also the entire "Obamacare worldview." He has been endorsed by the Senate Conservatives Fund, Club for Growth, Paul Ryan, and Red State; has been profiled by Mark Hemingway in these pages; and has recently appeared on the cover of National Review.
Yet Dean Clancy of FreedomWorks claims that Sasse is a fraud. He writes on that organization's blog, "My sense is Ben Sasse is not what he claims to be. I think he's a Mitt Romney-style technocrat masquerading as an anti-Obamacare firebrand for temporary political purposes." He adds, "I think honesty demands that Mr. Sasse either acknowledge his real views publicly—or repent of them."
I've known Sasse since before Barack Obama became our 44th-best president (counting Grover Cleveland twice), and I can certainly vouch for his not being a fraud. Rather, he's a nice, sincere, extraordinarily bright Nebraska farm kid who is deeply committed to the principles of our nation's Founding, which have soaked into his core. In 2009, Ben and I wrote an anti-Obamacare op-ed together for the New York Post—and, even before that, I held him (as I do no less today) to be one of the most important figures in the fight to spare this country from Obamacare.
Even Clancy grants that Sasse (which rhymes with "glass") "is a very impressive man," who "comports himself as a gentleman," and who is "without question the most knowledgeable candidate in the race on the intricate details of health care law and regulation at the federal level—a true plus in the Age of Obamacare." Yet Clancy somehow thinks that Ryan, the SCF, and the rest have been duped into thinking that Sasse would make an inordinately fine senator.
Clancy's case against Sasse pretty much comes down to his misconstruing a statement that the Nebraska Senate candidate gave in an interview, and then running utterly wild with that misconstruction. In response to a question from a Slate political reporter about someone who makes $20,000, apparently is uninsured, and develops a kidney condition, Sasse said:
"I think we should have a universal, a shared cultural or societal goal, of universal health insurance coverage. That's completely different from saying the government can solve all of those problems, or that it can micromanage every aspect of the health delivery system. I think we know that it can't do that."
In other words, we should want everyone—or as many people as possible—to have health insurance, but a government takeover clearly isn't the answer. Clancy omits the second and third sentences of Sasse's response, quoting the first in isolation. He then asserts that "we cannot achieve [Sasse's] goal without government taxes, mandates, and coercion." Therefore, he concludes, "While [Sasse] appears to have been careful never to publicly say he supports Obamacare's individual mandate…reading between the lines it's clear he does." This, of course, is groundless nonsense. Sasse is no more a supporter of Obamacare's individual mandate than Obama is of Obamacare's repeal.

Democratic senator Joe Manchin said that, under Obamacare, "nobody should be forced to buy a policy that cost more than what they had and is inferior to what they had":
"Senator manchin, you get the last word," said the ABC host this morning. "Are you seeing any indication from anyone in the administration that they are willing to go along with some sort of a delay?"
While the Affordable Care Act was making its way through Congress in 2009 and 2010, President Obama famously promised the American people over and over again that if you like your health plan, you can keep it.
On national television today, President Obama hawked Obamacare as the event turned into one big infomercial:
According to Virginia-based trade publication Politico: "The Weekly Standard, the flagship publication for national security conservatives, has obsessively promoted [Congressman Tom] Cotton's speeches and campaign activities." (Which might only be considered obsessive if one didn't compare our coverage of Cotton to Politico's coverage of the White House Correspondents Dinner.) Nevertheless, we don't want to disappoint our friends at Politico, so here's a link to their profile of Cotton:

'Party Down' Ratings Jump 129 Percent
Sure, that's less than the approximately one-million viewers who watched 'Spartacus: Blood and Sand' on the same night. However, it may be a telling sign that the positive feedback 'Party Down' is getting is finally funneling down to people who normally don't consider Starz as a home for original programming.
Still, with ratings still in the toilet, and with much of its cast exiting after season 2, the future of 'Party Down' isn't looking too bright.
Numbers aren't looking too hot for 'Gravity.' According to reports, its premiere drew just 123,000 viewers.
'Party Down' airs Fridays at 10PM.
NBC Picks Up First Pilot: J.J. Abrams' 'Undercovers'
Abrams co-wrote, produced and directed the pilot about two former married CIA agents -- played by Boris Kodjoe and Gugu Mbatha-Raw (pictured) -- who get reactivated after years of retirement. According to the Hollywood Reporter, this is the first pilot Abrams has directed since 'Lost' in 2004.
"We have tremendous confidence in this promising series and feel this is a great way to kick off our upcoming Upfront development announcements," said Jeff Gaspin, chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment, in a statement. "J.J. has delivered another signature series along with our partners at Warner Bros. and we couldn't be happier."
'Battlestar Galactica' Creator Ronald Moore Signs Deal With Sony
According to Deadline Hollywood, Moore's two-year deal will see him and his production company, Tall Ships Prods., create projects for both cable and broadcast. Moore was previously involved in three deals with NBC Universal's Universal Media Studios, the home of 'Battlestar' and its spin-off 'Caprica.'
Home Television Viewing at an All-Time High
According to recent tracking by the Nielsen rating service, the amount of television watching per viewer has increased from 4.86 hours per day in 2007 to 5.13 hours. Per household, the total amount of time viewers stare at the flat-screen is a whopping eight hours.
NBC is Spending Money on TV Shows Again!
OK, maybe "realized" isn't the best word to use. More like "remembered." NBC chairman Jeff Gaspin tells The New York Times that the network is changing its strategy and will pay to get some good shows on the network.
For starters, they've ordered almost 20 new pilots this season -- scripted dramas and comedies -- up from ten last season. Instead of strictly going by the numbers and looking for a big profit margin and trying to cut costs in every way possible, they're looking for good shows they can stick with.
Sheen, CBS Close to Making New Deal for 'Two and a Half Men'?
According to Deadline Hollywood, Sheen and CBS are both "cautiously optimistic" about a new deal that would keep the star cracking wise in bowling shirts for two more seasons on 'Two and A Half Men.' This comes, of course, after Sheen publicly declared that he was ready to leave the show, leading us to speculate on who could replace him (my vote was for James Franco).
The US Should Co-Produce TV Shows with the UK
A few years back, a bold co-production initiative was launched with Canada. So far, it's produced underwhelming ratings performers like 'Mental' and 'Defying Gravity.' Meanwhile, thanks to BBC America, US fans are falling in love with new UK shows, only to find ourselves frustrated when the powers-that-Beeb pull the plug. It's a lot like foreign fans of US material must feel when we cancel shows on them: powerless.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Most recently, BBC America finished running the first and second series of the BBC post-apocalyptic drama 'Survivors,' back-to-back. Before it finished, the BBC announced that they weren't going to commission any more episodes, due to slipping ratings in the UK. 'Survivors' wasn't failing miserably, but BBC programming doesn't get advertising revenue like shows in the US, so expectations are different.
I don't know if US ratings were considered for the show, but I know it was one of the more popular series on BBC America and that it has a pretty loyal and faithful following on both sides of the pond. Could US support have saved it?
'Sex and the City' Producer Heading Back to TV
Deadline reports that King is about to finalize a multi-year "mega deal" with Warner Bros. Television that will have him creating his own TV production company at WBTV. The report says he'll help foster a group of writers and develop a slate of new TV series.

Google to Introduce Android-Based TV Software
Google is essentially trying to develop a television set operating system. It will be tough to make it work, since many of the television manufacturers will likely be protective of whatever software goes on their hardware. However, it sounds like Sony, Intel and a few other companies are already on board.
This is just another step towards the eventual merger of your home television and computer systems. If Google can succeed in this, Android could become a major player in operating systems, competing with the likes of Microsoft, Apple and Linux.
'Red Faction' Movie Coming to Syfy
'Red Faction,' the popular first-person shooter, is getting a two-hour movie treatment from Syfy that could lead to a series, according to a report in Broadcasting & Cable.
The movie is part of an effort by the NBC Universal-owned Syfy to delve deeper into gaming culture via a collaboration with 'Red Faction' publisher, THQ. The venture also seems likely to produce a kids' show based the 'de Blob' Nintendo Wii game.
TLC Renews 'L.A. Ink'
Direct from the "Not a Big Surprise" department comes news that TLC has reupped 'L.A. Ink' for another run and that production on season 4 is already underway.
A spin-off of 'Miami Ink,' which ended in 2008, 'L.A. Ink' follows tattoo artist Kat Von D at her High Voltage shop in West Hollywood. The show is currently averaging 1.4 million viewers per week. Those are impressive numbers, not just because they come from a cable-based show, but because it airs on Thursday nights at 10PM a hotbed of original programming on the Big Three and One-Third networks.
The numbers are also impressive, because 'L.A. Ink' comes from an older generation of TLC shows -- with four years equaling one television generation. With the network full of programs featuring height-challenged families, weight-challenged families and, soon enough, 18 hours of original Kate Gosselin programming, the show is able to maintain its popularity.
ABC Gives 'One Life to Live' A Vote of Confidence
Well, fans are concerned, too, especially after the story emerged last week about ABC Daytime developing a talk show for Tori Spelling. TV Guide went to the Jori Petersen, the head ABC Daytime PR, to ask if the Spelling show might threaten the future of 'One Life.'
Letterman's Company Starts Record Label, Signs First Act
Letterman has signed California pop/punk rockers Runner Runner to his new Clear Entertainment/C.E. Music label. The band's catchy, if not so groundbreaking, first single, 'So Obvious,' is streaming now on their MySpace page. The label will release Runner Runner's debut album later this summer.
Why a MAD Magazine Show Could Work
Back in the late '90s when the Fox sketch show hit the airwaves, my brain almost exploded at the thought of a MAD Magazine TV show. I read the magazine cover to cover and kept a stack of them in my bookcase until the covers withered away with time. I thumbed through each issue for my favorite writers and artists like Dick DeBartolo, Mort Drucker and Frank Jacobs. I didn't date much.
The final product left me very disappointed. Now, it has another chance to be something better. DC Comics has announced they are developing an animated sketch show for Cartoon Network that's centered around more than just the magazine's brand.
'America: The Story of Us' Premiere Breaks Records for History
Sunday's premiere of the six-part miniseries drew 5.7 million viewers to become the cable net's highest-rated special ever. The record-breaking educational series, which featured an intro by President Barack Obama, tracks 400 years of American history, from the early Jamestown settlers to the headlines of today.
"The success personifies the hunger for information and the desire to re-connect with our past," History President Nancy Dubuc said in a statement. "Ultimately there's no story more dramatic and gripping than the story of America itself.

Israel Prison Service Commissioner Lt. Gen. Aharon Franco: Information provided by Mossad on Ben Zygier did not enable his imprisonment to be managed as needed, which led to his suicide.
Israel Prison Service Commissioner Lt. Gen. Aharon Franco spoke for the first time on Monday about the Ben Zygier suicide case.
Franco hinted that the information provided to the IPS by the Mossad did not enable the imprisonment of Zygier to be managed as needed, which led to Zygier's suicide.
"Without diminishing our responsibility, in the matter at hand the IPS operated under constraints based on heavy state security considerations and the custody was done in cooperation with security authorities," Franco said.
According to foreign reports, Zygier, a dual Australian-Israeli citizen, was a Mossad agent who killed himself for unknown reasons in an Israeli jail in December 2010.

"First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they attack you. Then you win." ~ not Mohandas Gandhi
"First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they attack you. Then you win." ~ not Mohandas Gandhi
It's an awesome, inspiring, timeless quote. It epitomizes the life and philosophy of Gandhi, a non-violent, imperfect inspiration and hero of our time.
'Then they misquote you."
But Gandhi, Mr. Satyagraha himself, never said it.
…but it is strikingly similar to something that the trade unionist Nicholas Kleingave in a 1914 address to the Amalgamated Clothing Workers ofAmerica in Baltimore:
"First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you. And that, is what is going to happen to the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America."
He didn't say this famous quote, either.
Bonus: the real Gandhi, in a first television interview:

LONDON (MarketWatch) — As the global economy adapts to a new post-financial crisis world, multiple transitions are underway, and they are occurring at different speeds that investors must be able to handle.
This is a challenging investment landscape to navigate, and it will exhibit volatility. Absent any jarring geopolitical risk, the medium-term outlook for equities is quite positive in an environment of subdued growth and inflation amid healing economies.
Stock investors can systematically, and in measured ways, take advantage of the fears that might arise during this transition. Slowly rising interest rates — if they reflect some level of growth, even subdued — are positive for equities.
CEO pay: Who's up, who's down
CEOs are still making plenty of money, but a wave of investor activism is keeping a lid on growth in pay. Joann Lublin joins the News Hub with the early results from the Hay Group/WSJ compensation survey. Photo: AP.
Major changes are afoot across the global economy:
The U.S. is transitioning from quantitative easing (QE) to "tapering" to gradual normalization of monetary policy, as evidenced by the Federal Reserve's recent statement. Consumer optimism is growing, thanks to rising asset prices. Fiscal policy is no longer a drag on aggregate demand and instead is becoming a contributor. The outlook for the job market is improving, but shifting demographics supporting lower labor participation are also helping the overall unemployment picture.
The Fed's recent "holistic" guidance – giving indications of the timing of the end of QE and the roadmap for possible rate increases — is both an evolution of its communication format and part of this transition. While the U.K. and U.S. appear to be in the same "wagon of the train," Continental Europe and the rest of the world are not. In fact, they may be on a different train altogether.
European disunion
In Europe, there is room for more QE as financial conditions remain tight with the repayment of the long-term refinancing operation (LTRO), sluggish bank loans and a strong euro. While Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) data in Europe show continued improvements, the combination of the underlying low-growth environment, the ongoing need for structural adjustments, and political challenges also remains.
Other challenges include the implementation of the banking union within the euro zone, unusually high unemployment, particularly for youth, and navigating disinflation in order to stave off the threat of deflation. However, those challenges are quite well known and, barring unforeseen developments, should be for the most part discounted by the markets.
The newest challenge for Europe, in the face of developments in Ukraine, underscores its energy dependence on Russia, which supplies 30% of Europe's natural gas. And established plans to secure energy through projects such as the South Stream pipeline — intended to link the European Union and Russia through the Black Sea by 2018 — now appear derailed or at least sidelined.
Pressures on Japan and China
In Japan, the triple stimulus launched by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe 18 months ago, consisting of more flexible fiscal policy, more aggressive monetary easing and structural reforms, has brought Japan to a new era.
Structural reform may be the most challenging to implement. While Japanese wage growth seems desirable, if it is implemented in a framework disconnected from the shape of underlying demand, or if it inhibits companies' ability to pass on some price increases, it could put pressure on corporate margins. That said, corporations continue to benefit from the weaker yen USDJPY, +0.22% . If the yen remains weak, some level of on-shoring might take place over the next few years, which could help support domestic growth.

I like some of the ideas Sun has presented with their new desktop. Its interesting that its built on Java, I wonder if it is as sluggish as other Java-based desktop apps?

Editorial: How we can all help pelicans, other birds
All of us have heard about the dangers of casting too closely to pelicans while fishing or just leaving loose monofilament and tackle behind when it gets snared among mangroves.
The photo above demonstrates why.
Even if you do not hook or snag a bird, a pelican can come along later and get tangled in loose line.
The striking image of a pelican hanging upside down, before being rescued by Conservancy of Southwest Florida tour-boat guides and passengers, was featured in Saturday's Wildlife Clinic column by Director Joanna Fitzgerald. She told how the pontoon came upon the pelican; the boat's occupants clipped the line and rushed the wounded bird to the newly renamed and expanded von Arx Wildlife Hospital at the Conservancy, off Goodlette-Frank Road in Naples.
After some initial bad luck, this was one very lucky bird.

RIDGEFIELD, Conn., Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- New findings from two double-blind, randomized trials, RE-MEDYSM and RE-SONATE®, show that dabigatran 150 mg twice daily reduces the risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE)*. The results were published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
VTE is the third most common cardiovascular disorder after heart disease and stroke, and consists of two related conditions caused by blood clots: deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). DVT is when a blood clot develops in the deep veins of the leg or pelvis. The clot, or part of it, can break off from the site where it formed and travel through the veins (embolism). A PE can occur if the clot lodges in the arteries of the lungs.
There are an estimated 900,000 VTE events per year in the U.S., approximately one-third of which result in death from PE. Further, roughly one-third of people with VTE will have a recurrence within 10 years. The standard of care for patients with VTE is anticoagulation.
RE-MEDY demonstrated that treatment with dabigatran 150 mg twice daily was non-inferior to warfarin (p=0.01) in preventing recurrent VTE, including VTE-related death. RE-SONATE demonstrated dabigatran was superior to placebo for the prevention of first recurrent or fatal VTE with a risk reduction of 92 percent during the treatment period (p<0.001). Lower event rates were reported across all secondary efficacy endpoints for dabigatran over placebo.
"Patients who suffer one VTE event are at increased risk of suffering another, with the risk accumulating over time," said Sam Schulman , M.D., Ph.D., FRCPC(C), lead study author and professor, Department of Medicine, McMaster University, Ontario, Canada. "We are encouraged to see that the RE-MEDY and RE-SONATE trials met their endpoints and we will continue to study the safety, efficacy and p

text: A Portland-based home meal delivery program is apparently causing some local confusion, as that group solicits donations from Cowlitz County citizens. Loaves and Fishes is a large Portland non-profit, which helps to deliver Meals on Wheels to seniors and shut-ins in Clark and Multnomah counties. In recent weeks, Cowlitz County residents have been receiving mailers asking for donations, saying that they are "Meals on Wheels People," with Loaves and Fishes in smaller print. Locally, the Meals on Wheels program is run by Lower Columbia CAP, and the mailers may have people making contributions, thinking that they're donating to the local program. CAP Board President Mary Gillespie contacted Loaves and Fishes after she got one of these mailers herself, and she says that Loaves and Fishes was apologetic over creating that type of confusion. They say that any donations received from Cowlitz County will be returned to this area. Last year, CAP's Meals on Wheels program delivered more than 28,000 healthy meals to local seniors and shut-ins. If you have other questions, call Lower Columbia CAP at 425-3430, extension 259.

Her Majesty The Queen is to begin her traditional week-long stay at the Palace of Holyroodhouse from Monday for what is known as Holyrood week.
The Palace of Holyroodhouse is only used by The Queen for one week in the year and is her official Scottish residence.
It is believed that the Duke of Edinburgh has been advised against travelling to Scotland this year for Holyrood week and instead will remain at Windsor Castle for his two-month long recuperation. Some sources suggest the Earl of Wessex will be accompanying Her Majesty north of the border.
During Holyrood week, The Queen undertakes a series of engagements which would normally be performed in London. This includes a garden party, which this year will be held on Tuesday .
The week is steeped in tradition and on Her Majesty's arrival at the Palace, she is given the keys of the city and is welcomed to her 'ancient and hereditary Kingdom of Scotland'.
The Queen will hold a Garden Party at the Palace on Tuesday for people from all walks of Scottish life.
Whereas the Yeoman of the Guard are on duty at London garden parties, for the Holyroodhouse garden party, the Royal Company of Archers provide security for The Queen.
Despite the Palace of Holyroodhouse being The Queens's official residence in Scotland, it is only used for one week in the year. Her private retreat, Balmoral Castle, is used for several months in the year when she goes for her summer break.
Whilst The Queen stays at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the fountain will play and whichever regiment is staying at the nearby barracks will guards the Palace. The only other occasion on which these things happen are for the Lord High Commissioner of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland – during General Assembly week, he or she is basically The Queen in Scotland. He/she is even addressed as Your Grace for the week, the traditional form of address for Scottish Monarchs.

Hopefully Her Majesty will be able to attend at Windsor Castle this Year the Holyroodhouse. The Earl Of Wessex Will accompany Her Majesty but Prince Phillip won't attend. This is a Traditional for Her Majesty to attend for a Break. Also due to the Duchess of Cambridge to give birth had Delayed time to go. We All Hope she Gets a Good Rest and Enjoyment. Cheers to You Your Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

« Snow Day |
| Back On the Air »
Posted by Derek
It's time, across most of the drug industry, for people to prepare their labs for a few days off. Some companies officially close between Christmas and New Year's. At the others, you'll find about 20% occupancy, and those people will likely as not be taking advantage of the time to shovel stuff out of their offices. Not much drug discovery lab work gets done in the last week of December, I can tell you.
I've written before about how I used to leave my lab space in what I thought was good shape, only to come back after the break and find that I'd labeled flasks with helpful legends such as "Large Batch" or "2nd Run". And every January, there I'd be, looking at some tan-colored stuff and thinking "Hmm. Second run of what, exactly?" I could usually work it out, but a couple of times over the years I've had to run NMR or mass spectra just to figure out what I was getting at.
So, make sure your stuff is labeled with something more intelligent, is my advice. And even more importantly, make notes to remember lines of research, and plans of what to do. It's easy to lost the thread after being off for a while. This isn't always bad – one of the good things about a break is that you lose the threads of a few things that are well lost. But it's a good idea to write down what's in progress, what you plan to do about it, and what you're going to try to do next.
I'm convinced that a lot of good ideas get lost. They're not followed up on, they're forgotten, or they're buried under later duties. I've been trying to keep that from happening, which is one reason I was asking about literature and note-organizing software a while ago (more on that in January). One of my tasks today is making sure that all the current thoughts I have are battened down for the season. As usual, it'll probably turn out that some of the things I'm doing now would be well replaced by some of the things I've just been thinking about.

I guess I cant relate much to this post as those flasks and reactions were so heavily imbedded in my brain (even during my time in industry), it was hard to get them out of my dreams let alone my waking state.
Synthesis was "the other woman" that occupied my spare thoughts.
Nowadays I just obsess about football........

Unfortunately the bad ideas aren't as fortunate to leave our creative minds. We seem to leave for break and come right back and start right up on the bad ideas.

As I'm currently winterizing my ideas, I feel like I'm leaving messages for a 2nd grader. I know that, upon my return, I'll be so far removed from my research that I need it fully explained to me - to the last detail...
5. qetzal on December 21, 2007 5:55 PM writes...
Dr. Lowe, you surprise me!
As an industry scientist, surely you record everything in your notebook as you do it, and you accurately label all your flasks, reagents, buffers, etc., to show their contents, who prepared them, when they were prepared, when they expire, etc?
6. SteveM on December 22, 2007 8:29 AM writes...
As a young ADD addled scientist without the lockdown discipline of qetzal above, (I'm sure everything about his life is well ordered), I would carelessly label reaction goings on. And then return after only a weekend, forgetting what was what.
The great thing about reviewing old work done by your self is wondering how you even did it. After a previous life in Chemistry, I migrated to computer modeling. And now when I review an old solution strategy in which I developed a mathematical formulation that I did not document very well, I often marvel at what I had done. Asking myself, "Did I do that? I didn't think I was that clever."
P.S. The exact opposite of lockdown discipline is dilettantism. And there' something to be said for that too. (Man Ray anyone? My heart belongs to Dada.)
7. Brooks Moses on December 28, 2007 2:20 PM writes...
SteveM: I'm reminded of some of the last-minute programming I did to get some final results right before a conference paper was due. And then, three or four years later, I was writing up my dissertation and had to explain it.
The tricky bit was that the real reason I used a particular set of coefficients on a model was, "They're relatively arbitrary, and these seemed like a good random choice at the time (and, yes, in hindsight there were probably better options)." Putting that in proper dissertation language was a bit tricky (though easier once I realized I could focus on the "the exact values don't matter much" part of it...).
But, yeah, there were lots of "what was I thinking?" moments when I was writing things up for the dissertation.

Surely, you should use the services of a transcription company to record anything and everything.

I found 3D Topicscape useful to "park" reminders and miscellaneous thoughts - the myriad items that are floating in mindspace, not docked anywhere quite yet, as well as staking out projects with a potential future structure as they grow. On the go, I tell my BlackBerry stuff to remember. Depends how your mind works, really.

This project will free 55 Ugandan girl survivors of trafficking and teach them jewelry making so they can earn an income. Girl victims of trafficking will escape exploitation, access food, safe housing and medical care, and receive therapeutic and economically empowering opportunities through FAIR Girls' JewelGirls program.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
In Kampala, Uganda, an estimated 15,000-18,000 children are trafficked for labor and sex per year. Girls and boys age 11 and younger are abducted by professional traffickers to be exploited as domestic and sex slaves, commercial labor, and treated as commodities. Girls are particularly vulnerable to trafficking when in extreme poverty, as orphans, and due to lack of government protection and the normalization of undermining the value of the girl-child in Ugandan society.
How will this project solve this problem?
This project will free 55 girl survivors of trafficking through outreach to the poorest slums in Uganda. Staff will provide supportive counseling and facilitate girls' access to safe housing and medical care. Twice a week, girls will attend business skills and therapeutic workshops to create jewelry. They can earn up to $6 a week to pay for basic necessities, reducing their economic vulnerability to exploitation. Jewelry is sold at local markets, online, and at FAIR Girls' D.C. events.
Potential Long Term Impact
JewelGirls is the sole source of income for nearly all members. In monthly structured discussions focusing on money management, accessing loans, and valuing oneself as a girl, girls will foster positive relationships and support one another towards their goals. They will learn to save in order to open their own hair salon or store someday, creating a stronger, women inclusive economy. These empowered girls will in turn inspire their friends and future daughters to do the same.
Funding Information
This project has been retired and is no longer accepting donations.
Additional Documentation
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).

I'll be honest, I'm not all that invested in celebrities.
Quite frankly, I find our culture rather perverse about how we have this fascination and feeling of entitlement to dive into anybody's private lives no matter who they are. Whether they're politicians, celebrities, or whoever.
I really don't know what's real and what's not when it comes to celebrities. However, as a relationship writer, I do think there are lessons to be learned from these relationships that unfold on a public platform.
Bottom line, I'm not a celebrity gossip columnist and I don't aspire to be.
However, I do see an opportunity to share some good relationship lessons here, so I'd like to discuss this very public Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart breakup and share some insight as to what went wrong, and why their relationship was doomed from the moment she got caught cheating.
Okay so here's the background for anyone who might not know: they broke up briefly in July after photos of Kristen Stewart making out with Ruper Sanders, a married director of a film she starred in, were splashed all over the covers of the tabloids. They got back together soon after and now they have broken up for good it seems.
In terms of the cheating scandal itself, I don't think she woke up one morning and said "I want to make out with a married man today." Things were probably going on for a long time before they actually made out. Who knows if she did it intentionally, but I mean, she's a major celebrity who gets followed by paparazzi on a daily basis and she was making out with the guy outside in broad daylight, so who knows?
After getting caught, she issued a public statement apologizing for what happened. In her statement I bet she is deeply sorry. I bet she is embarrassed and I bet she feels bad that she embarrassed Robert and Rupert Sanders.
However, I don't think it was a "momentary indiscretion." I think that she had something going on for whatever her reasons are.
People make mistakes. She is young. Her fame blew up. I'm sure she has all sorts of men vying for her attention and there are probably types of men and types of experiences that she wants to have.
She's a young woman after all. Robert Pattinson—to every girl who can't have him—is this fascinating, mysterious, attractive male figure and they want a piece of that.
It's a weird thing with humans. When we have someone—even if it's someone amazing and extremely desirable—and we know they're not going anywhere, we will start to take them for granted.
We don't know how Rob is in a relationship. Maybe he was a total pushover. Maybe he was boring. Maybe he was an eager puppy dog and she knew she could do whatever she wanted and he would put up with it. We really don't know, we can only speculate.
So, Robert Pattinson ends up dumping her and then they get back together a month later. Now people wonder what was going on with that.
The fact that she cheated on him suggests to me that he was probably more into her than she was into him.
It doesn't matter if millions of girls all over the world want him and think he's hot and would literally do anything to be his girlfriend.
Basically, it doesn't matter how many girls want him it's the simple fact that he wanted her and it seems to me like he couldn't quite have her. He probably tried and then tried harder and harder and was always chasing her.
A lot of readers write to me saying they feel like they're "chasing" the guy or the relationship. This can also happen the other way around. A guy can be completely infatuated with a girl and be the own chasing her down. It doesn't matter if he could have any other girl, he want's that one.
MORE: How to Make Men Chase You Without Playing Games
When one person is chasing the other, what often happens then is the chaser invests more and more of their heart and their energy while the person they're chasing becomes more and more complacent.
They realize that they can get away with more and more stuff because the other person is trying harder and harder. The chaser's self-esteem lowers and they continue to chase the object of their desire, maybe as a way to be validated.
So the one being chased realizes, "Hey, wait a minute. I can get away with anything! They'll always be here. I can do anything I want! I already have one boyfriend who will put up with anything from me. Why not have two? I want to explore the world. I want to experience different things."
You might have a glamorized image of Robert Pattinson, but if you are Kristen Stewart and in her position, you have to think about the options she has, the amount of money she has, the guys she has interested in her.
Those options allow her to live in a different position than most of the girls in this country. So while you might want to be with Robert Pattinson or hook up with him, she might be in a place where she could take him or leave him.
For all we know, Bruce Willis might be the guy she really wants. She might be into a totally different type of guy. You don't know. Just because you want him doesn't mean that she did.
So he probably invested more and more and more. They eventually broke up for a month or so and during this month he probably felt really hurt. But he probably also felt really lonely and depressed and found himself in a really messed up spot.
Here he is. His stardom skyrocketed and he went from nobody to sex symbol. He went from that world of being an unknown actor to major movie star that women swoon for.
If you were a guy, you might see that as the greatest thing ever, and in a lot of ways, it is. At the same time, being at the top and being a fascinating figure in the public eye is kind of isolating.
No one really understands what it's like to be scrutinized like that. No one's really going to know what it's like to have everything you do analyzed and to have websites devoted to picking you apart.
To find someone who isn't trying to get something out of you—whether it's an agent trying to leech money off of your success or your brand, or some girl who wants to hook up with you because she wants a story and doesn't actually care about you.
All of these people trying to exploit you for their own means can be isolating and he probably feels misunderstood by a lot of people.
Then he had a month of being single, of being away from this person who shared the same experience of rising to super-stardom and who understood what he was going through. It was probably a very lonely time for him.
He probably had to make a tough call within himself and say, "Look, I'm really hurt by this. What she did was really messed up and I don't know if I can trust her again. But at the same time she understands me and she's with me on a level that I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to find with another woman again."
A breakup is tough enough for a guy when it's a girl who he really loves. It only makes it tougher if he felt that she really understood him and he could share himself with her, that he didn't have to hide himself from her or act a certain way or be a certain person around her.

When that girl is gone and he feels like he's just alone in the world, that woman who inspired him and was there for him and was a sanctuary for him and made him feel complete, its an extremely tough thing.
Whether it's Robert Pattinson, some other celebrity, it's tough to just walk out the door and jump right back into the saddle. Hooking up with some random girl isn't going to be a quick fix for someone in his upper-tier position and might make him feel more isolated. So he was in a difficult situation and had to make a tough call.
He probably just said, "You know what, it sucks but I'm going to give it another shot because being alone and heartbroken is even worse than being humiliated and embarrassed. I'd rather at least try to salvage this."
So he gets back together with her, maybe he even forgives her. However, there's something to be said when someone does something heartbreaking and it colors everything.
She cheated on him and his mind probably went back to a bunch of different times where she made an excuse not to see him or she wasn't in the mood to hook up with him that night. Maybe she stopped being interested in him sexually, or whatever it happens to be.
He starts making connections in his head and he says, "Oh my God. She was cheating on me. She betrayed me."
In relationships, it's a really messed up thing when someone cheats because you have all of these memories with this person and all of this nostalgia. When you're in a relationship and your partner hasn't violated your trust, you… (continued – Click to keep reading Celebrity Relationships Decoded: Why Robert Pattinson Dumped Kristen Stewart)

Jacquelyn Ellen Teed, 80, passed away Friday, December 28, 2012, at the Hospice House at Palm Terrace in Lakeland, Florida. A private memorial at a later date will be held at the convenience of the family.
She is survived by her children, Paul and his wife Leslie, of Albany, New York; Michael and his fianc�, Susan McKay of Menands, New York; Terrence and his wife, Cathy, of Riverdale, New York; Robert, of Albany; John, of Columbia, South Carolina; Kate and her partner, Kassie Bennett of Lakeland, Florida; Emilie of Portland, Oregon; Jacqueline and her mate, David Johnson of Miami Lakes, Florida; as well as 13 grandchildren.
Jacquelyn was born in Burlington, Vermont on August 27, 1932, the daughter of Sophia Gewrath and John R. Teed. Following her elementary school years in Massena, the family moved to Ogdensburg.
Jackie was extremely active in high school and community affairs while completing her schooling in Ogdensburg, and she graduated from OFA in 1950. She went on to attend Potsdam Teachers College until she married and started a family.
Following her husband, who was in the U.S. Air Force Strategic Air Command, Jackie and her growing family made their home in various Air Force installations throughout the country, finally settling in Syracuse. Jackie supported her husband while he earned his law degree and soon the family moved home to Ogdensburg.
With eight children at home, Jackie went back to school and completed her education by earning degrees from Mater Dei College and the State University College at Potsdam. She then went on to achieve her Masters Degree in Educational Psychology from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh.
Jackie was very passionate about helping others and cultivated her educational experience as a professional in the field of social work. She served as a case worker for the State of Florida for families in need, served as a psychologist at a Florida State prison and spent her last working years as a counselor for people struggling with drug addiction.
Jackie was a very intelligent, spirited lady. She liked to laugh and in times of trial would often be heard saying This too shall pass. She was tenacious; she overcame obstacles, worked diligently and accomplished much in her professional and personal life. Maybe her most rewarding achievement was producing eight children who loved and were most proud of their mother.

Night Dry For Incontinence
Night Dry contains Astragalus, Dioscorea, Alpinia, Rubus, Schisandra and Psoralea. In many cases, incontinence is related to physical weakness, poor nourishment after illness, pre-clinical spinal abnormality, diseases of the genitourinary organs, poor habits, or abnormal functioning of the brain caused by a variety of reasons. Night Dry helps improve poor kidney/bladder functioning. It is beneficial especially to those who have incontinence especially at night and bedwetting in children. In these conditions, low cerebral excitability results in a deeper sleep and poorer sensation of the need for urination. Night Dry improves brain sensations thus reducing frequent urination and, in children, bedwetting.
In a 1999 study from Sheng-Si Medical College in China , 232 patients suffering from frequent urination participated. Night Dry was found to be effective on 38.8% of the subjects while improvement was noted in 48.7% of them. Only 9.91 of the subjects did not experience any difference.
A women in her 40s injured her lower body in a car accident. As a result, she needed to get up more than 3 times in the middle of the night to urinate. After many years her condition worsened. Sometimes she needed to get up 10 times to urinate in the middle of the night. When she used Kidney Chi, Cordyceps Extract, Asparagus Extract, AGG and the MIT, her condition improved tremendously. Within just a couple of weeks, she only needed to get up 3-4 times at night.
D.Miller, CNHP from CA, reports on a 95 year old male who is still active but has a frequent urination problem. Taking the 6 hour flight between Los Angeles and Florida (which he does often) has become a problem because he would need to urinate 5 times during the flight. When he started taking Night Dry, he only urinates once during the flight.
M.Zesiewicz, MD from CO, relates: A patient of ours who had suffered a car accident sustained blunt trauma to the kidney. After his accident, he needed to urinate 2-3 times per night, but progressed to the point where he was getting up to urinate 10-12 times per night. He became extremely fatigued and very depressed over his condition. We gave him Kidney Chi, Cordyceps, AGG and Aspargus Extract and within 1 week, he was able to cut his urination frequency in half. After 1 month, he only need to urinate 3 times per ngith and was able to sleep better, improving his depression.
I.D., a 50 year old female from AZ, had nocturia to the point that she was getting up to urinate 10 or more times each night. She began taking Night-Dry and Kidney Chi in high doses for 7 days (and switched to the normal dose of 3 capsules, 3 times day thereafter) and Night-Dry (6 capsules, 3 times a day the third dose taken before bedtime). Two weeks later, she reported only getting up twice per night. She was feeling more rested than she had in a long time.

Morse Code Chart / Table
- a Morse code chart or table giving the Morse signals and their corresponding letters and characters which today is widely used in ham radio or amateur radio applications.
Morse Code includes:What is the Morse code
How to learn and practice the Morse code
Morse code table / chart
Morse code keys and keyers
The different Morse code characters have been in use since the 1860s when the Morse code was developed. The code which is today called the International Morse code was the second code developed by Samuel Morse. It refined the first one which had varying character lengths, and the new one was far easier to use. As a result it has been in use for sending telegraph messages as well as radio communications.
These days the greatest use of the Morse code is for ham radio or amateur radio. The use of Morse code enables ham radio operators to use their equipment to contact other ham radio stations over great distances. The advantages arising from the simplicity of the use of Morse code, allow many ham radio enthusiasts to construct their own equipment as well as allowing contacts to be made when signal strengths are low and interference levels are high.
Morse code chart / table
Some letters and procedural characters are those in common use, but the ITU recommendations have also been used. This may result in Morse characters having two slightly different meanings. VA, i.e. End of Work, also is given by the ITU as understood.
Additional Morse code characters
The ITU gives recommendations for a variety of other Morse code characters and occurrences that need to be sent. The ITU defines methods in which these may be sent in Morse code:
Length of Morse code characters
In order that the Morse code characters are easy to read, it is necessary to ensure that they are the correct length. Too long or too short, and the Morse code messages can be very difficult to read as the rhythm of the different characters is destroyed. Part of the International Morse code "standard" is an agreed definition of the various lengths of dots, dashes and spaces.
By keeping to these lengths the Morse code characters are much easier to read.
The Morse code is still widely used for amateur radio or ham radio applications. It enables ham radio contacts to be made all over the world with ease, especially when using low powers or more modest antennas. While the Morse code is not generally widely used, it still has applications for ham radio, and the above Morse code chart or Morse code table is useful to identify the main symbols used.

Spenny Searches For Love on 'Single White Spenny'
by Annette Bourdeau, posted May 30th 2011 3:50PM
Spencer 'Spenny' Rice is heading back to the tube with a new show that's absolutely nothing like 'Kenny vs Spenny.' Rice is trying his hand at scripted comedy with a sitcom called 'Single White Spenny,' set to debut this week on Showcase. The show chronicles the dating misadventures of Spenny, a goofy man-child who's desperate to find love.
Spenny's quest for love is hindered by his own outrageous acts of self-sabotage. In one episode, for instance, he thinks he's found 'the one,' but then has 'revenge sex' with dozens of women who have wronged him over the years. Spenny is supported by his BFF Chelsea (Amy Matysio, 'Corner Gas'), his self-absorbed mother (Deb McGrath, 'Little Mosque on the Prairie'), his ill-tempered assistant (Nikki Payne, 'Last Comic Standing') and his weird neighbor, Phil (Wayne Thomas, 'Meet the Fockers').
We caught up with Rice to chat about everything from his unique relationship with his real-life mother to how a tidbit about foreskin he learned on 'Penn & Teller's Bulls--t' made its way onto 'Single White Spenny.'
AOL TV: How did you come up with the concept for the show?
Rice: I was born. I lived my life and realized what a putz I am and I created a show about it, basically. That's the fancy answer. I've cultivated a comedic persona that's tragically close to my real life and I've learned how to make comedy out of it in different forms.
Why did you decide to try your hand at a scripted show?
I did a movie called 'Confessions of a Porn Addict,' which was a faux-documentary or mock-doc. I really enjoyed the process of being more make-believe than I had done in my other series. It was a gradual progression. I'm a real comedic geek, I've loved comedy my whole life. That encompasses anything from Tom Green to Charlie Chaplin to Bill Murray, Andy Kaufman, and it was just another area. You know you want to keep interested when you're creative. You don't want to get stale.
I love the [vain, egocentric] mom on the show. How did that character develop? Is she inspired by anyone in particular?
Yes. My actual mother! Here's the thing. I love my mom, she loves me, we've got a great relationship. I would say that if June Cleaver was the prototype of a 1950s mom, my mother would fall to the other end of the spectrum, which is extreme self-absorption, hedonistic to a certain extent, very independent. I think that the character that Deb McGrath brilliantly plays on the show to a very reasonable extent is based on my real mom, but of course Deb takes it to her comedic level, which is fantastic.
I find it interesting that your BFF on the show is a woman. Why did you decide to do that as opposed to having the typical male wingman?
It's funny, because first of all, I have a couple of best friends and one of them is a woman. That character is definitely based on her in that my friend Sarah is a person who knows me extremely well and is not afraid to call me on my s--t, which is basically what Chelsea does on the show. She's a bit of a sounding board, but she also knows what a mature-deficited person I am and will call me on it. So that was the reason. I am surrounded by a lot of estrogen on the show.
The funny thing is the Phil character, he's the only other main character that's a male. He wants to be my best friend, but I don't want him to be. What we love about that character is we didn't really want to do a 'Kramer wacky' character, so we went the other way and made him 'wacky normal.' He's just trying to help and wants to be nice and kind and sweet, and he just irritates the living hell out of me, but I don't know what to do with him because what do you do with someone who's just too nice?
Are any of the storylines inspired by your own dating experiences?
No. Not really. In one episode, I lie to girl that's vehemently anti-circumcision and tell her that I'm uncircumcised. I find myself in the classic sitcom dilemma of the lie, and I find out that there's a process a circumcised man can go through, a quite painful process using weights and gravity and you can actually re-grow your foreskin. The idea for that came from something I saw on 'Penn & Teller's Bulls--t,' which was on Showtime.
Very consistent with the character of Spenny is the idea of overreaching and desperation. Spenny is someone who's absolutely desperate for some kind of normal male existence, but he's trying so hard and is so overreaching in his desire that it can never quite happen for him. If he maybe just relaxed a bit it might happen for him, but then it wouldn't be funny.
Will there be any notable guest stars?
Yeah, we had Colin Mochrie ('Whose Line is it, Anyway'), who is incidentally Deb McGrath's real-life husband. Improv legend. We also had Amanda Walsh, who was a long time ago a VJ on MuchMusic and now a really great actress.
Who do you think the show will appeal to?
Here's what I'm hoping for: I've obviously gained quite a following from my last show. I'd like to take as many of those people with me to this show. Beyond that, I'd like to appeal to maybe an older demographic than that show, and certainly women. I think the female cast is dynamite. I think this show will appeal to women. A wider audience. The other show is about the three p's –- puke, pee and poo, and this is not that at all.
'Single White Spenny' premieres Thursday, June 2 on Showcase at 9:30PM ET/PT.

FIRST Newsletter - September, 2011 - Suki Berry
Suki Berry ─ A Work of Art in Progress
For some students, FIRST is an outlet for an interest in science and technology. For others, it's a way to supplement classroom activities. And then there are those for whom FIRST is nothing short of a lifeline. Meet Suki Berry ─ senior at San Dieguito Academy High School in Encinitas, California; budding artist who dabbles in Steampunk; and member of FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Team 2102 "Team Paradox."
According to Berry, without FIRST, the 17-year-old whose home life has been somewhat unstable, would not be where she is today. Her parents separated at the end of elementary school, but stayed in the same house due to extreme financial difficulty. Because of this, life remained troubled throughout middle school and her first year of high school. Berry says robotics provided a healthy, productive environment during tumultuous times.
Berry admits she was looking for an escape. And, to some extent she found it at school, but needed additional structure, focus, and direction. She got all of that and more from Team Paradox. "When I joined the team I felt like I was part of a shared goal. It made me feel important and also made me feel safe," says Berry, who is now living with a family she met through FIRST. "They took me in until my family can find another place to be together again. Their kindness is overwhelming," says Berry, whose family members are currently scattered because their landlord is rebuilding on the property where they lived.
Berry initially joined Team 2102 during her freshman year at San Dieguito for the camaraderie and connection it provided. Although she was eager to learn to weld, the team needed her skills in the arts even more and Berry was happy to comply by designing merchandise and creating logos. Today, she says science and engineering "are the best!" and adds that her teammates are some of the brightest people she's ever met. "The skills I've learned from my engineering friends are incredibly valuable."
FIRST is a good fit for the artist whose team has adapted the STEM acronym to better fit their focus: they've added an "A" for "art" and modified the acronym from STEM to STEAM. As a member of Team Paradox, Berry has been able to meld the creative side of things ─ like painting, design, and sculpture ─ with more left-brain endeavors such as project management and public relations.
Founded in 2006, Team 2102 is made up of 20 Mentors and 75 students from San Dieguito. In their second year, they won the FRC Team Spirit Award and added a marketing branch to their team's structure, which is responsible for promoting FIRST in the community, establishing Sponsor relationships, and writing grants. As one of the presidents of the team's marketing arm, Berry has found yet another outlet for her artistic creativity. In addition to designing, sewing, and printing team merchandise, she helps in the design and development of promotional videos. Berry says that not every team has a marketing branch, but theirs is thriving.
In addition, as part of their community efforts, Berry and her teammates have assisted a FIRST LEGO League (FLL) team; created a 13-foot-tall robot for the Encinitas Holiday Parade; and participated in the annual Relay for Life Race in support of breast cancer research.
One of her more memorable moments with FIRST was when Berry's team received the Engineering Inspiration Award, twice ─ once in 2010 and a second time in 2011. Another memorable moment was when she and three other students were asked to present the FRC Chairman's Award at the San Diego Regional Competition in 2011.
"Through FIRST I've discovered an organization with teachers, Mentors, and parent Volunteers who not only support me, but also challenge me to exceed my own expectations; to reach beyond what I thought possible. I honestly don't know what my current situation would be if I hadn't connected with all these wonderful friends." When asked which Mentors have made the biggest impact on her life, Berry answers resoundingly: "All of them!"
In her "spare" time, Berry further flexes her creative muscles by painting and making costumes, as well as working with Art Wars, a student club that produces spontaneous pieces of art in the community. In addition, Berry, who won the Artist of the Year Award at San Dieguito in 2011, also tutors members of a local improvisational theater group. One of her other interests is Steampunk ─ an art form that creates an alternate persona from a science fiction Victorian era by incorporating modern gadgetry with Victorian materials. For example, last year Berry painted herself like a porcelain doll, donned a traditional corset, and used plywood and a disco-ball motor to create a life-sized wind-up key that turned when she walked, transforming her into a real-life music-box dancer.
When she graduates from high school next year, Berry hopes to attend CalArts in Valencia, California. Because she is interested in so many different types of art ─ as well as the engineering side of things, thanks to FIRST ─ Berry is undecided about which major to pursue. Given her track record so far, it's likely Berry's indecision won't last long.

Shoran Software announced the six-point release of RenderPal V2, the well-known render farm manager. This new version brings many great new features, plenty of improvements and important bug fixes, as well as support for four new renderers out-of-the-box: Modo, Arnold, RVIO and Pdplayer.
In this release, the net job dependency has been extended: A net job can now also wait for similar chunks of one or more superior net jobs, not just for the entire jobs. The dependent net job will check if one or more of its own chunks can be rendered by matching either their IDs, frame ranges or image slices against those of its superior net jobs.
Many applications can be (or even have to be) controlled via external script files. RenderPal V2 now makes creating such script files extremely easy with its script templates: Every renderer can automatically create a script file based on a template that uses a simple but very effective template language.
The scene files as well as the output file and directory in a render set can now contain parameters from the selected renderer that will then be replaced with the corresponding value set in the render set for each chunk of the resulting net job. If a list parameter is used and the corresponding chunk has more than one value in its list, the chunks will automagically have more than one scene.
It is now possible to select an action if the rendering time is too short or too long: If it is too short, the chunk can either be restarted (the old behavior) or it can be cancelled; if it is too long, the chunk can be restarted, cancelled or skipped.
Other new additions and improvements include selecting additional user accounts in net jobs who should receive email notifications, combined scene lists for renderers (multiple scenes will not be automatically split into individual chunks) and the ability to control net job chunks via command-line.
