Can't get my touch screen on my laptop to work? (self.linux4noobs)
submitted 2 years ago by HokTaur
I just bought this laptop, my other one died and I needed an immediate replacement for homework. I installed Kubuntu 12.10 on it and everything worked except for the touch screen, so I'm currently using Win8. There is an xinput called "(something) large touch screen", but I can't find anything online about making it work. I did something that made it work for a second, but it stopped after reboot and I can't figure out what it was. I've tried using the calibrator tool but it doesn't register any touches at all. If anyone else has had a similar problem or know what I'm missing I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks!!

Video: 65 W-S Apartments to Be Built in 13 Days (part 2)
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- A local architect, construction company and manufacturer are using a unique and increasingly popular construction method--modular building--to construct the majority of a downtown Winston-Salem apartment complex in just 13 days.
Modular building consists of using appliance-ready apartment units that are manufactured in a climate-controlled factory and transported onto construction sites. The units are stacked, using a large crane, on top of one another. Because of the controlled environment in which they are built, proponents of modular building have said the method yields better-quality products that are greener, more cost-effective and more time sensitive.
Mickey Pack, the job superintendent for Frank L. Blum, the construction company for the Winston-Salem site, explained crews started stacking units last Wednesday. Every morning starting at 8:30, weather permitting, crews stack one row of four units onto the existing building frame. The top unit already has a roof installed. After unit placement, a task Pack said will be completed within the next week, crews will work for another four months to add final touches to the site.
When the building is complete, it will have 65 one-bedroom apartments, each approximately 630 square feet. These apartments will be called the Hilltop House South in Winston-Salem, located at the corner of Brookstown Avenue and Factory Row.
Kevin Masten, the project manager for Blum Construction, explained these modular units are fully inspected, in compliance with state inspection codes for such buildings. Inspectors visit both the manufacturing site, Champion Commercial in Salisbury, and then do additional inspections at the building site in Winston-Salem.
The architect behind the project is CJMW Architecture. CJMW principal Tom Calloway explained he believes modular building is a significant component in the future of construction--both in Winston-Salem and Triad-wide. He said the key characteristics of the method are time reduction and superior quality. Calloway did acknowledge some concerns people generally have about modular building. He said a common misperception is that pre-assembled units are cheaply-made. But, both he and Pack affirmed the units are made with quality materials, including walls that reduce sound disturbance.
Mike Ryan, the general manager for Hilltop House South, said the quick construction and quality assurance of the complex is appealing to future tenants. He said the units are not yet available for rent, but he expects them to cost approximately $800 per month.
According to the Modular Building Institute, all modular buildings have to abide by the same building codes and standards as site-built structures.

HARBOR CITY, TEXAS. Harbor City, a real estate promoter's dream that never quite materialized, was laid out on Corpus Christi Bay at the southeastern tip of Live Oak Peninsula in San Patricio County, around the time that the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway was built to Aransas Pass in 1887. The town plat on file at the courthouse in Sinton shows a beautiful terraced shoreline, with Ocean Drive to be run from the development all the way to Portland, twelve miles away. In the 1890s the developers built the Ingleside Inn, sometimes called Harbor Inn, as the showpiece of their proposed city. Though economic conditions caused the development to fail, the Harbor Inn operated off and on until the mid-1920s, when it was torn down. During the hotel's heyday the boat Japonica called there daily, bringing guests from Corpus Christi. The Japonica continued to Rockport and called again at Harbor Inn in the late afternoon to pick up people wishing to return to Corpus Christi. The last operator of the hotel was Jimmy Holmes. A post office with Horace E. Brown as postmaster was established there in 1913; it was discontinued and moved to Ingleside in 1917. Harbor City reported a population of forty in 1914. It became Port Ingleside in August 1926, but the Harbor City name continues to be used on area maps.

MAC Media Preseason Poll
MAC Announces A Record 57 Football Games for Television
Temple is finally eligible for the MAC title after spending two seasons in transition from the Big East. The Owls were kicked out of the Big East for failure to compete and are a dreadful 4-42 over the last four seasons. Unfortunately, they don't look ready to compete in the MAC, either, as the computer lists them as double-digit underdogs in nine games. Their closest spread is a 5.35-point loss at home to Buffalo.
Temple's addition to the conference title chase gives the MAC thirteen teams, resulting in an unbalanced conference schedule. Therefore, divisional games will be the primary factor in determining the divisional champion. Cross-over games within the conference will serve as a tie-breaker in the event that head-to-head results do not settle the issue.
Each MAC team will play a full schedule within its division. In overall MAC games, five of the six west division teams will play seven league games with one team (Toledo) playing eight conference games. Six of the seven east division schools will play eight MAC games with one (Miami) playing seven MAC contests.
The west is, by far, the strongest of the two divisions with an average power rating of 63.04 to the east's 55.83 (57.73 if you exclude lowly Temple). Each of the top four west members have higher power ratings than any team in the east.
The computer forecasts two extremely tight divisional races. The top six teams in the east are separated by no more than 7.69 power points, and the projected 6th-place team (Bowling Green) is just 4.93 power points behind preseason favorite Akron. Four of the teams picked to finish in front of BGSU, are favored by less than 2 points against the Falcons - including Akron and
The west division finds the top four teams within 4.40 points of each other, and 4th-place Northern Illinois trails 1st-place Western Michigan by a mere 3.45 points.
But before anyone gets to Detroit for the championship game, divisional parity leads to a lot of toss-up games and plenty of opportunity to alter the order of the final standings.
For example, Northern Illinois is the underdog by just 2.05 points at Toledo, and less than a point at home vs. Western Michigan.
Four of Buffalo's losses have spreads of less than five points and all three Bulls victories have spreads under 6 points.
Ohio's prognosis features two losses by fewer than six points and four wins by less than 4 points.
Central Michigan, the defending MAC champion, is the only team in the league that will begin the year with a new head coach. Three days after the Chippewas won the MAC title game over Ohio, Brian Kelly accepted the post at Cincinnati that became available when Mark Dantonio left the Bearcats to go to Michigan State. Central Michigan went on to defeat Middle Tennessee 31-14 in the Motor City Bowl with Kelly's associate head coach, Jeff Quinn, serving as interim head coach.
After the bowl game, Quinn joined Kelly's staff at Cincinnati. CMU hired West Virginia receivers coach Butch Jones on January 5 and brought him back to Mount Pleasant where he coached tight ends, receivers and running backs at various times from 1998-2004.
Two coaches are in their second year with their respective schools - Al Golden at Temple, and Turner Gill at Buffalo.
Four others are just in their third year - Shane Montgomery at Miami, Frank Solich at Ohio, and Bill Cubit at Western Michigan. Montgomery, however, was Terry Hoeppner's offensive coordinator at Miami prior to Hoeppner's move to Indiana (tragically, Hoeppner died of complications from a brain tumor on June 19.).
It could be an interesting, entertaining and unpredictable year in the MAC.

I'm stealing the term runfession from Marcia because I love it and I don't think she'll mind. So with a deep breath, here goes: I haven't run in five weeks. I've kept it quiet for myriad reasons. For one, I just didn't feel like sharing it publicly. Two, it really gets me down. Three, well, injuries are not what running blog readers really like, are they?
But it's time to come clean, so here's the deal: I was about eight weeks into my return from injuries and things were going ok. Not great, but ok. Nothing really returned to 100% on the injury front, but both the Achilles and high hamstring seemed manageable. I also had a persistent ache on my iliac crest (this is the foreshadowing) about which I was aware, but not overly concerned. I should have been. On a six-mile trail run, that pain ramped up big time. By the time I got home after the 10-minute drive from the trail, I knew it was pretty bad. I got into the doctor and some imaging right away and learned that I had partially ruptured my IT band at the insertion point on the iliac crest. Sounds ugly, no? It was quite painful at first, but the good news is that it has healed pretty quickly (I'm learning I prefer tears to tendonosis).
So obviously, with this cycle of injury, I would be a complete idiot not to drill down and figure out what the heck is causing all this in the first place. To look at my training, there's nothing there. I don't make stupid training errors or run excessive mileage. But I am definitely paying for some sins of the past.
I emailed Jay Dicharry, author of Anatomy for Running (a brilliant read by a brilliant PT) for help finding a PT in this general area who could help me really dig into what's going on. Jay directed me to Robert Gillanders down in DC. His assessment style was completely different from any I've had in the past. Things we turned up included an incredibly immobile ankle, some low back stiffness and a few other things. Robert's take is that your body will compensate for so long for shortcomings but that eventually, it will catch up to you.
So about the sin part. That stiff ankle joint that he found stems from two past sprains, one going back all the way to '99 that I stupidly ran on as soon as I could even walk on it. There was also a lot of stiffness and scar tissue in the bottom of my foot, leftovers from a partial tear in my plantar fascia. I didn't even know that was there or playing a part in my mobility. I ran far too long on my aching Achilles last summer. All of these things have added up to the train wreck that is now my body.
I'm going to admit to you that my biggest, deepest fear is that my running days could be over. I do think Robert is my best hope for that not to be the case. He has me doing a ton–and I mean a ton–of rehab work every day. Eccentric exercises are my middle name. Still, his recommendation is that I not return to running until I am done making compensations with my gait. I know this makes sense, but it is hard not knowing if and when I'll get back.
I've mentioned losing my blogging mojo–this is clearly a big piece of that. I really do my best to keep positive and soldier on, but I quite often trip up. I'll write when I can summon the enthusiasm but I'm not going to force it, so bear with me.
Someone tell me a Cinderella story about an injured runner–I need it!

Silicone oil is commonly used as a lubricant coating in prefilled syringes (PFS) and is becoming one of the most highly discussed topics in the PFS market, particularly for developers of highly sensitive biotech drugs. In specific biological drug cases, unexpected drug-container interactions have been reported that were potentially attributed to or potentially associated with sub-visible particles generated from the lubricating silicone layer. These could lead to "solution inspection" concerns or even compatibility concern.
Sebastien Jouffray is Core Team leader in the R&D Product Development Group at BD Medical – Pharmaceutical Systems. He leads a team working on an innovative immobilised silicone coating, (XSi™). BD XSi™ significantly reduces sub-visible particles (SbVPs) while retaining lubrication performance. BD XSi™ does not introduce any new materials, enabling rapid implementation in PFS for both legacy as well as pipeline drugs.
Detection of SbVPs, defined as particles that cannot be reliably detected by visual inspection with unaided human eye, is continuously being improved by emerging analytical techniques. In particular, the extension of the SbVP size detection limit below 10 µm, potentially into the sub-micron range, and the ability to differentiate the nature of those particles will greatly enhance the potential to monitor and report this critical attribute.
Such analytical techniques can be used to understand better the contribution of silicone lubricant in prefilled syringes, to the overall pool of detected SbVPs. This knowledge will be critical to monitor, control and, if a specific need arises, reduce this contribution.
This need led Jouffray to add new techniques to his arsenal of characterization tools. He used Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis from NanoSight to clearly show that their new coating, BD XSi™, radically reduced the presence of particles compared with traditional baked silicone and conventional sprayed-silicone prefilled syringes.
This data, reported in a focus on injectable drug delivery by ONdrugDELIVERY1, clearly demonstrated that BD XSi™ provides a true reduction in particles in both micron and sub-micron ranges and not just a shift in counts from one range to another.
Noting the benefits of using NanoSight's NTA instrumentation in complement to other characterization techniques, Jouffray said "NanoSight allows for the counting of nano-sized particles in small sample volumes in parallel with other techniques. This gives us cost effective routine characterization technique verifying the quality of BD Neopak XSi™ and for pharmaceutical companies a new technology to count SbVPs in nano range scale".

About NanoSight
NanoSight delivers the world's most versatile and proven multi-parameter nanoparticle analysis in a single instrument.
NanoSight's "Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis" (NTA) detects and visualizes populations of nanoparticles in liquids down to 10 nm, dependent on material, and measures the size of each particle from direct observations of diffusion. Additionally, NanoSight measures concentration and a fluorescence mode differentiates suitably-labelled particles within complex background suspensions. Zeta potential measurements are similarly particle-specific. It is this particle-by-particle methodology that takes NTA beyond traditional light scattering and other ensemble techniques in providing high-resolution particle size distributions and validates data with information-rich video files of the particles moving under Brownian motion.
This simultaneous multiparameter characterization matches the demands of complex biological systems, hence its wide application in development of drug delivery systems, of viral vaccines, and in nanotoxicology. This real-time data gives insight into the kinetics of protein aggregation and other time-dependent phenomena in a qualitative and quantitative manner. NanoSight has a growing role in biodiagnostics, being proven in detection and speciation of nanovesicles (exosomes) and microvesicles.
NanoSight has installed more than 600 systems worldwide with users including BASF, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, Proctor and Gamble, Roche and Unilever together with the most eminent universities and research institutes. NanoSight's technology is validated by 900+ third party papers citing NanoSight results. NanoSight's leadership position in nanoparticle characterization is consolidated further with publication of an ASTM International standard, ASTM E2834, which describes the NTA methodology for detection and analysis of nanoparticles.

Encourage a child. Acknowledge learning new skills can be difficult, then tell him that he can do it. Try working together to find the answer if possible.
Lisa Carey sometimes thinks she's a great parent, sometimes not so much.
When her, now adult, son was in school she saw he was struggling, so Carey fought to have him tested for learning disabilities. While she was trying to help him, Carey thinks the message he got was he didn't need to try so hard. His mother obviously didn't think he could do it, so he should be happy with C's.
So when her daughter started school, Carey took a different tactic. She would tell her daughter she was smart enough to figure it out. That caused problems, too. ...

Lawsuit accuses Camden Military Academy of hazing
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A Georgia couple is accusing Camden Military Academy of allowing the hazing of their 13-year-old son when he enrolled nearly four years ago.
The State newspaper reported (http://bit.ly/GZuO7l) the federal lawsuit says the hazing began with verbal assaults and eventually resulted in a sexual assault.
Camden Military Academy is an all-male school for students in grades 7 to 12 that emphasizes self-confidence and leadership.
The lawsuit says school officials condoned hazing, ignored injuries and downplayed complaints about his treatment.
The newspaper did not use the family's name to protect the boy's identity.
The defendants include headmaster Eric Boland and five staff members. Boland denies the school condones hazing.
Kershaw County Sheriff Jim Matthews says his staff investigated an alleged sexual assault but no charges were filed.

A study by the National Research Council concluded in a report released Friday that the injection of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing can induce earthquakes.
The news has people living near injection wells concerned.
"This is our family farm. And I'd like it to stay safe," says Lisa Urban, who owns a beef cattle farm in Mantua.
"I don't think anyone really knows if it's safe," said Urban.
Her concerns about the unknown lie right up Allyn Road, where there's a wastewater injection well.
Neighbors already don't like what they see. "2-3 trucks an hour. That's a lot. Big trucks," explained neighbor Greg Reid.
He says they're almost all semis from Pennsylvania, which banned the wells, so the wastewater is shipped to Ohio.
"You gotta think, they're not letting them, why are we letting them?"
The federal study found the injection of wastewater left over from fracturing shale for gas and oil can trigger earthquakes, like the dozen in Youngstown last year.
Meanwhile, the investigation found fracking itself had low risk for inducing earthquakes.
Seismologists say the water affects a fault, the same way air does an air hockey puck.
When you turn on the air -- it floats, allowing it to move side to side. The high pressure water affects the fault the same way -- thus, causing a quake.
The latest study gives environmental groups more reason to fight fracking. "To me that makes it unsafe.
To me we need to make sure that this industry is run safely," said Pat McKenna of the Sierra Club's Northeast Ohio chapter.
While neighbors in Mantua don't believe they're near a fault line, the news makes them wonder, what other concerns may be over the horizon.
"I don't know what's going come 5, 10, 15, 20 years down the road," said Urban.

Bob Williams: Where will polarization end?
Congress finally passed the payroll tax cut extension. This bill also extends unemployment benefits and provides continued funding for doctors who treat Medicare patients. This has been hailed as an important act of bipartisanship, a rare event in this Congress.
Americans would like to see more bipartisanship in Congress, but calling passage of this act bipartisanship is hopeful but not quite true. It was a retreat by the Republican leadership in order to get this hot-potato issue off the table before it damaged their re-election chances in November. This was a small tactical retreat in a Congress more polarized — therefore more ineffective — than has been seen in our lifetime. Political historians tell us there has been nothing comparable since the 1890s.
This polarization has developed along a simple liberal-conservative axis. Today the most liberal Republican senator, Olympia Snowe of Maine, is more conservative than the most conservative Senate Democrat, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, and Nelson has announced his coming retirement. The House is even more divided. There is no overlap. There is little room for discussion. There is gridlock.
Political scientists Keith Poole and Howard Rosenthal developed a highly regarded statistical procedure to measure a politician's standing on a conservative-liberal scale. They too found no overlap between Republicans and Democrats in Congress. Jacob Hacker, using this procedure, found that since 1975, "Senate Republicans moved roughly twice as far to the right as Senate Democrats moved to the left" and "House Republicans moved roughly six times as far to the right as House Democrats moved to the left."
How do we explain this? It began with the Republicans' "Southern strategy" of the 1960s. The Democrats, under Lyndon Johnson, had pushed through the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and other legislation to eliminate legalized racial discrimination. School integration was the tipping point. Many in the Southern states, disaffected with the Democratic Party, joined the Dixiecrats. The GOP pitched their message to these formerly conservative Democrats. It worked. There was a large-scale movement of these "social conservatives" into the Republican Party. This strategy was not confined to Southern states and converted conservatives to the GOP in many rural areas.
This left the Democrats more liberal and Republicans more conservative. This increasing polarization was exacerbated by a 1964 Supreme Court ruling that made it difficult for a "public figure" to win a libel suit when smeared. Accusations or allegations that would be considered defamatory, slanderous or libelous were no longer legally actionable if they were about public figures. Talk radio was boring and becoming moribund at that time. Suddenly, talk shows could attract a large and raucous following, exciting their listeners with rancorous and hyperventilating allegations about public figures, primarily politicians. This was all from right-wing talkers.
The objective of these talkers was, and still is, to stoke anger in their listeners. Fulminating statements, right or wrong, stirred their audience. Many listeners became addicted to the adrenalin rush of anger. Since 1949 the Federal Communications Commission had in place what was called the Fairness Doctrine for broadcasting over public airways. Radio stations were required to give equal time to opposing views. This was repealed in 1987 in the tsunami of what was still called talk radio, although it was more hate radio than anything else. It moved to cable television channels and to the Internet. Purveying anger became a big commercial success.
This had two effects: First, the Republican Party was moved further right than would have been the case had change occurred only from conservative Democrats moving into Republican Party ranks. Second, issues debated were no longer local issues. A candidate's chances of winning election no longer depended on how well he or she would serve constituents in their district. They depended, instead, on how well candidates toed the line laid down by state and national party leaders.
These polarizing trends moved further when the talkers and bloggers of the far right began to encourage their readers and listeners to avoid the traditional news sources that strive for unbiased reporting. This is mainstream media. It is what Sarah Palin renamed the "lamestream media" when she joined the chorus, encouraging followers to avoid centrist and relatively unbiased reporting.
Is there any way to reverse the total polarization we now have? There seems to be no clear solution. California, however, has embarked on an attempt to remedy the situation. We have recently adopted a revised primary election system specifically aimed at reducing our polarization and electing more mainstream candidates. It gets its first test this year. We should know if it has its intended effects after at least two election cycles. If it works, California will have led the way again. Let us hope.

Nokia sues Apple again in Germany, Netherlands, UK
updated 08:25 am EST, Thu December 16, 2010
Nokia widens Apple suits in 3 European countries
Nokia on Thursday refused to back down in its patent dispute with Apple and sued the American company in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. The Dusseldorf, The Hague and London complaints accuse Apple of violating 13 extra patents beyond the 24 already leveraged against Apple in the US. Unlike past complaints, Nokia this time was counting on the age of its patents to avoid prior art and covered basic touch interfaces, app stores, messaging and signalling technology that in some cases have existed for years.
"For example, [we have patented] using a wiping gesture on a touch screen to navigate content, or enabling access to constantly changing services with an on-device app store, both filed more than ten years before the launch of the iPhone," Nokia said.
It added that none of the patents were related to 3G or other standards that were the impetuses for the original lawsuit from over a year ago. Nokia has maintained that all phones using UMTS- or HSPA-based 3G are partly based on its technology and owe Nokia patent royalties. Apple has been one of the few to challenge the validity of the patents in court.
The European lawsuits are a direct response to Apple's UK lawsuit and an attempt to have Apple back down and reach a settlement rather than go through the cost of a trial. Both have also tried to speed up the process by filing complaints with the US International Trade Commission that could more quickly determine the validity of some patents and push one side or both into an out-of-court deal.

In the clip, Fiona confronts her man about his move to Michigan and whether or not he has been lying to her. As usual, he wasnt lying, exactly, but he failed to mention the full truth, as well. For the past three seasons, Shameless fans have dealt with this same nonsense from Jimmys end. The mans behaved poorly and then made amends for that behavior more times than I can count, but sometimes I wonder why Fiona doesnt just quit talking to him for good.
You know what I love about Shameless? As funny as it is, the series has a fantastic cast of characters, who have all proven to be capable of handling the important dramatic moments that occasionally work their way into the otherwise wacky and unpredictable plot. William H. Macy might be near the top of that list, but considering Fiona is the true grown-up in this story, Emmy Rossum takes the prize for some of the more memorable intensely emotional scenes. The preview for next Sunday's episode glimpses a moment with that kind of potential.
Shameless' third season has been just one great episode after another. Last night's installment left us with a pretty big game-changer for the Gallagher family. But we've seen this family struggle before and they always come through it. It's just a matter of how and at what cost (and whether the outcome makes us want to laugh or cry). Read no further if you aren't caught up through Episode 5 ("The Sins of My Caretaker")! And if you are, check out the preview for next Sunday's "Cascading Failures."
Showtime's dramedy trio Shameless, House of Lies and Californication had cause to celebrate earlier this month when all three series returned with new seasons to higher numbers. I'm sure Showtime's free preview weekend didn't hurt in that regard, but there's even more cause to celebrate as Showtime has decided to renew all three shows. And that includes Californication, which means Hank Moody will follow in the footsteps of Dexter Morgan as a Showtime character that's surpassing six seasons of existence.
Showtime's anticipated free preview weekend just took place, and included the season premieres of Shameless, House of Lies and Californication. Not only was the pay cable channel gracious enough to time the returns of three of their shows with a couple of days of complimentary service, but they've also made a couple of the premieres available online. Check out the Season 3 premiere of Shameless ahead!
Hot off a couple of explosive episodes of two of their original dramas and in anticipation of the premieres of some of their comedies, Showtime is giving non-subscribers a glance at the goods next month with a free preview weekend. The premium cable channel has timed it to coincide with the premieres of Shameless, House of Lies and Californication.
The Gallaghers return with the third season premiere of Shameless next month, and based on the trailer for Season 3, the dysfunctional Chicago family is up to its old tricks and some new ones! As the trailer puts it, the Gallaghers are just a family trying to live the American dream one scheme at a time.
Recently, you may have caught Bradley Whitford in The Cabin in the Woods, and soon youll be able to catch him in Showtimes Shameless, too--that is, provided you have a subscription to the pay-cable network. Whitford is set for a multi-episode arc in the series, and it sounds like hell be playing a type of person who may be a little out of his element on the Showtime program.
Showtime has Dexter and Homeland on deck to return later this month, but those hoping to know when they'll catch a sight of Hank Moody, Marty Kaan or the Gallaghers are in luck! The good news is, the dates have been set for the return of Californication, House of Lies and Shameless. Of course, we still have a few more months to wait for their premieres.
August is nearly here and at this point, Comic Con is pretty firmly in the rearview, but we're still seeing some coverage of the event make its way online. Today, that comes in the form of two videos, one of which showcases Showtime's presence at the San Diego-set convention, while the other gives us a look at Game of Thrones' panel and booth signings, in addition to some of the cast and George R.R. Martin's comments on their experience at the convention.
Just when you thought that Comedy Central had successfully run memes as a marketing strategy into the ground while advertising the seventh season of Futurama, Showtime released their internet-inspired San Diego Comic-Con campaign. Whether they are making the trip to the convention or not, several of the networks' original series - including Episodes, Shameless, House of Lies and Dexter - have been given a few designs to litter across the event.
The show is wrapping up its current season with tomorrow night's finale, and they're bringing in at least one recognizable guest star. Dharma & Greg's Jenna Elfman will be putting in an appearance, and TVGuide.com has posted a first look at her in character.
What was different about Mondays Shameless episode was its ratings, which broke multiple records last night. The freshman run of last nights episode, Parenthood, brought in more viewers than any other in the shows two season run, bringing in 1.6 million viewers. Later in the evening, when the show re-ran, it brought in even more viewers, putting the total for the night at 2.12 million viewers.
Showtime's Shameless has become one of my favorite shows, so it was great to hear that the cable net has already given the Gallagher clan an early renewal for season three. Now actor Zach McGowan, who plays recovering sex addict/Karen love interest Jody, has been promoted to a series regular for the upcoming third season.
Shameless is up 30% from its season 1 weekly viewers, and is the second-most watched show on the network behind long-running hit Dexter. House of Lies is slightly less-watched but still the network's best-watched comedy, and Californication, even in its fifth season, is up 10% from Season 4

Why Chimpanzees Smile
Why Chimpanzees Smile.
When a person smiles or frowns, you usually know what it means. The human face expresses a wide range of moods and emotions. The face of a monkey or ape expresses many emotions, too –but it's easy for a human observer to be fooled.
A British scientist named Jane Goodall studied the facial expressions of wild chimpanzees in Africa. As she watched the animals, she learned to recognize feelings like fear, anger, joy and frustration in a chimp's mobile face. For instance, if a chimp is angry or intends to attack, it presses its lips together tightly. If it's in a friendly mood and wants to be groomed by a companion, it purses its lips and pushes them forward in a pout. In the chimpanzee's world, a pout is both a greeting and an invitation.
When a chimp opens its mouth, pulls back its lips, and shows its teeth, it appears to be smiling or grinning. But its grin isn't assign of pleasure. Instead, a grinning chimp reveals fear. A chimp grins during and after an attack, or when a stronger chimp threatens it. Grinning is almost always accompanied by loud screaming. History doesn't record whether Ham the astrochimp was screaming when he landed on earth, but his wide grin showed clearly that he was scared out of his wits.
If a chimp keeps its teeth closed when it grins, it is more nervous than frightened. This kind of grin is accompanied by squeaking sounds and whimpers. A low-ranking chimp approaches a higher-ranking one by displaying a closed grin, which is very much like a nervous smile in a human.
A chimp does have a genuine smile, what Jane Goodall called a "play-face". When a chimp is happy or having fun, it opens its mouth, juts out its chin, and shows its lower teeth. This play-face is accompanied by grunting sounds, or chimpanzee laughter.

Surface will have a "broad place in the Windows ecosystem", but won't lead to a diminishment in Microsoft's relationship with its OEM partners, said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, speaking at Microsoft's Wordwide Partner Conference 2012 in Toronto today.
Ballmer said Surface is "a design point" that will "have a broad place in the Windows ecosystem". He added, however, that Microsoft was determined that launching its own tablet hardware would not harm its existing relationships with the likes of device manufacturers Asus and Lenovo.
"The importance of our partners will not diminish," said Ballmer. "We have a mutual goal towards bringing a diversity of solutions. What we seek to have is a spectrum of stunning Windows devices, so every customer can say 'I have the perfect PC'.
"We may sell a few millions, but we need partners to have that diversity of devices," Ballmer continued. "We're excited about the work our OEM partners are doing with Windows 8 devices."
When asked for more details on Surface's potential place and function in the market, Ballmer was evasive, replying enigmatically that the recently-announced tablet is "a story to be told when it's ready to be told".
Ballmer added that in his opinion Microsoft "did a good job of keeping it a secret", and hinted that more releases are in the pipeline, remarking that the company "may need to keep a few more things a secret as we move forward. There's a real advantage to being able to work [undisturbed]."

Happy Imbolc!!
Happy Imbolc
Jason Pitzl-Waters — February 1, 2013 —7 Comments
Tonight and tomorrow is when many modern Pagans celebrate the fire festival of Imbolc sacred to the goddess Brigid, patroness of poets, healers, and smiths. Today is also the feast day of Saint Brigid of Ireland patron saint of poets, dairymaids, blacksmiths, healers, cattle, fugitives, Irish nuns, midwives, and new-born babies.
In Kildare, Ireland's town square, a perpetual flame is kept lit and housed in a statue that pays homage to the Pagan and Christian conceptions of Brigid. Festivities for La Feile Bride in Kildare started on January 27th and will continue through February 3rd.
Here are a collection of quotes on this holiday.
"I'm spending the days between now and Imbolc putting the finishing touches on a plan of action for this calendar year. I've made lists of goals, some practical (declutter closets) and some not (spend birthday at the beach). I'll make a collage, draw up action plans. It all will be based around putting some more juice in a long-term manifestation plan to bring my life more into alignment with my creative and spiritual goals." –Kathy Nance, Patheos.com
"Brigit's holiday was chiefly marked by the kindling of sacred fires, since she symbolized the fire of birth and healing, the fire of the forge, and the fire of poetic inspiration. Bonfires were lighted on the beacon tors, and chandlers celebrated their special holiday." - Mike Nichols, The Witches' Sabbats
"Maybe it isn't so much about needing to create something that is unique to me as it is needing to create something that keeps that internal fire lit; something that is deliberate, and relevant, and fresh. Perhaps these words will be my own, or they might come from someone else. But either way it seems important as I approach this High Day —not as the organizer of a fellowship, but as a solitary Druid —that I set aside time to find what lights that fire in me. This is what I think we are all called to do." –Teo Bishop, Bishop In The Grove
"The fire of Brigantia was both the fire of fertility with the earth and the fire of the sun, which gradually gained in strength as the days lengthened. The lighting of bonfires or candles was an expression of magical encouragement to the sun, as well as a sign of rejoicing at the more abundant light. Traditionally, Imbolc marked the point after which it would no longer be necessary to carry a candle when going out to do early morning work." - Alexei Kondratiev, The Apple Branch: A Path to Celtic Ritual
"The Sun's path has returned to where it was at Samhain. Take some time to notice the quality of the light, for it is the same now as that shimmering magical glow of late October. But instead of the season of dark and silence before us, in the Northern Hemisphere, the season of light and growth lies ahead. And so we prepare ourselves with rites of renewal, cleansing, and commitment. We celebrate the first stirrings of Spring." –Beth Owl's Daughter, "The Days of Imbolc"
Happy and blessed Imbolc/Candlemas (to those that celebrate)!!
Awesome Happy Imbolc we went outside and enjoyed it :)
Happy iImbolc everybody no offese but Phil looks wroung fro mwere Iam at we have a huge snow storm for wihch my family enjoyed in in the park :)
Quoting MotherofMiles:
What is a pagan???
Oh I wish I could be outside! I am spending my Imbolc sick on the couch with a fever. In just a bit I'll be lighting all my candles on my altar and having a very small ritual.
Quoting Cutenessmom:
Awesome Happy Imbolc we went outside and enjoyed it :)
Pagan is a VERY general, umbrella term under which a number of different paths fall-Asatru, Wicca, Druid, etc. Most worship nature and the elements, follow the cycles of the moon and seasons. Some practice Witchcraft. Most believe in many gods and goddesses.
Super general explanation. If you'd like suggestions about where to look, I'm happy to give them. :D
Quoting MotherofMiles:
What is a pagan???
St. Bridget's Day as well!
Quoting AlekD:
Happy Candlemas, also known as the feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple. :)
I've never heard of that, but if it special to you, then HAPPY HAPPY!

As of Tuesday, March 26, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. — As the U.S. Supreme Court begins weighing the issue of gay marriage at both the state and federal level this week, officials at in Albany say, for the meantime, that their lesbian and gay employees will have as many rights as the state gives them.
Assistant City Manager Wes Smith, who oversees the city's Human Resources and Equal Employment Opportunity Department, said that the city's current Human Resources policy references state and federal law when it comes to gay and lesbian rights.
"At this point, we adhere to the state and federal law, which basically doesn't recognize gays and lesbian employees as a protected class nor does it recognize gay marriage as legal in terms of our benefit packages," Smith said.
"We do encourage our employees, whether they are gay or straight, to report instances of sexual harassment which will be considered on a case-by-case basis because often harassment claims may turn out to be something different than just something that was done because he or she was gay. There could be claims brought for gender or race discrimination or it could rise to even a violence in the work place issue."
"Bottom line is, we encourage all of our employees to report any type of harassment because we don't want any level of harassment in the workplace," Smith said.
In Georgia, gay and lesbian couples cannot legally marry, but that hasn't stopped some cities and counties from advancing, at least to some degree, rights to them as same-sex couples.
According to the Human Rights Campaign, a group championing gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered equality, three local governments in Georgia offer domestic partner registries which extend benefits such as health, dental and life insurance to employees and their partners who are in a domestic partnership.
Those governments are Fulton County, City of Atlanta and Athens-Clarke County.
A gay City of Albany employee, who did not want to give her name, said life in the workplace can be a difficult line to walk. She said gay and lesbian workers often are fearful of retaliation if they were to openly discuss their sexuality and the city's anti-gay and lesbian policies. It is not unreasonable to seek equality, she said.
"It's unsettling to know that I could be fired because of my sexual orientation...but on the flip side, Georgia is an at will state and its legal to be fired just because," she said. "I did leave a job where I was protected and if I was in a domestic partnership, my partner could get health insurance through my work. I knew what I was leaving and the protections that I had, but I knew I could keep it hidden."
Smith predicts that the court may strike down the federal legislation but leave it up to the states to determine their own laws, in which case things in Albany will likely stay the same. If both are struck down or if the court rules that state bans on gay marriage are unconstitutional, then the city will have to consult it's legal counsel as to what steps to take.
In the end, some gay rights advocates say that their right to love whomever they choose, shouldn't be an issue for governmental involvement.

Commissioners and members of the public, I recognize that we once again have a large number of speakers who want to address the Commission on the subject of smart meters and their concerns about wireless radio frequency emissions from these devices.
Before hearing from this morning's speakers, I would like to say a word about the subject. I think what I have to say might calm some of the emotion around this issue.
First, I want to make an observation: Virtually every speaker who has addressed this subject has been a PG&E customer. We have not had complaints about radio frequency emissions or other concerns about smart meters from customers of other utilities in California. For example, PG&E's neighboring utility in Sacramento – the Sacramento Municipal Utility District – has not had any sort of customer complaints of the kind we've been hearing from PG&E customers. Nor have the southern California utilities.
Nonetheless, given the continued strong interest in this issue in parts of Northern California, I have spoken directly with PG&E's president and asked him to bring to this Commission a proposal or a series of proposals that will allow customers with an aversion to wireless devices the option of being metered without the use of wireless technology.
In other words, I am directing PG&E to prepare a proposal for our consideration that will allow some form of opt-out for customers who object to these devices at reasonable cost, to be paid by the customers who choose to opt-out. I've asked to have it within two weeks.
Obviously, I cannot prejudge how this Commission will evaluate any such proposal by PG&E, nor can I predict what PG&E itself will propose. But I think it's clear the time has come for some kind of movement in the direction of customer opt-outs.
Thank you.

X-ing Out Cervical Cancer and Other Health Issues
Last year, I shared in this blog that for my 30th birthday, I got myself the gift of protection against Cervical Cancer. By opting to get the vaccination, I would like to believe that I made a stand against an illness that kills so many women yearly. It is sad that many women lose their lives to an illness that can be prevented, or treated for that matter if diagnosed early. More so, it is sad that if women (especially younger women and adolescents) are educated about these health concerns and issues that are related to one's sexual decisions, they can make better choices. This goes beyond just cervical cancer, but other health concerns as well.
While abstinence is still key in protecting oneself from diseases, we cannot deny that many of the young people in our society (heck, even the not so young!) do not make the best choices when it comes to these things. I remember a made-for-tv movie once in the Hallmark channel about this issue and in that story, teenagers as young as 13 were infected with STD's because of the highly promiscuous and under-informed environment they were in. Because they didn't know better, they turned to fellow teenagers or various online sources to find answers. While some are valid and can give good information, such as treatments, prevention and natural cures for herpes and other similar diseases, there are those sites that are completely ridiculous and out of context.
At the end of the day, health care and disease prevention is a choice we all have to make. It is our responsibility, especially as the adults, to inform the younger generation of the right and appropriate choices for life.

One of my favorite movies of all time is a little known flick called "Back to the Future". I've watched those movies so many times that I can literally quote them the whole way through when I watch it. (This is not a party trick that is much appreciated however.) It's about a teenager and a zany senior citizen who travel through time in a two door car while unintentionally causing mayhem. It's a trilogy of excellence, and something that my dad and I would bond over when I was growing up.
Here's some lessons you can take from BTTF to your workplace with you.
1. To get somewhere nobody else has gone you need to do something nobody else is doing.
"You made a time machine?… Out of a DeLorean?.." – Marty McFly
Doc Brown makes friends with a punk teenager and has created a time machine, so it's safe to say he's not your typical senior citizen. Logic says that you probably can't make a car that travels through time and takes your best friend with you on a sweet adventure through the cosmos, but logic is a no fun party-pooper sometimes. Doc brown would have been a hermit shut in if he had accepted the traditional thoughts about someone of his status. Lucky for us, he didn't listen to traditionalism. Traditional thought says that you should just make a new logo for a client or a new website that's not too deviant from the norm. If you follow that logic, you'll only ever be a logo or website maker. Instead, commit yourself to not being someone who just clinks out work like a machine. You have to invest your heart into what you do to come up with things that will blow people's minds. Use "The Power of Love"! Turn can'ts into can't believes and blaze new paths. Use the latest technology and paradigms to great effect. Go ahead. Make a time machine. Everyone will be amazed that you could do what they called impossible. Especially..
2. The Haters. They're gonna hate.
"Why don't you make like a tree, and get out of here." – Biff
So you've decided to make your own metaphorical time machine? Sweet! You're going to see all sorts of amazingness and potential in what you're working on, and naturally, you want someone to appreciate it. Just don't expect everyone to think that you're a genius. Every great thing that was ever done encountered resistance in some form or another. In back to the future, the Libyans try and blow up the time machine, a farmer shoots it, Biff steals it, a bear eats the gas line, all sorts of things try to break this brilliant invention. Does Doc just let it happen and be defeated? NO! He repairs the DeLorean, modifies it to keep it going however he can, and at the end of the last movie he's wound up with something completely different than he started with. Having a great idea come to fruition isn't about forcing it to work. You need to take your innovation and realize that no matter how married to it you might be, you gotta roll with the punches. If you want to keep your idea going strong you're going to need…
3. A good plan.
"1.21 JIGGAWATTS! The only thing that could generate that much electricity would be… a bolt of lightning!" – Doc Brown
The amount of diagrams and planning in BTTF is pretty substantial, and that's for good reason. You can't make a town fair pie without a recipe and you can't get Marty back to 1985 without figuring out how to put 1.21 Jiggawatts into the flux capacitor (duh). If you have a great idea but no way to implement it, it's like hitting your head on the sink without buying a DeLorean. Think about the technical needs or visual desires of your client and plan appropriately. Take a look at what platforms you want to support, how are you going to do code control, testing your code, and think about a deployment schedule and what a deployment would entail. The way you implement your idea is all laid out in a plan, so plan accordingly. Note, however, that plans in the movie include both the technical sort and the interpersonal sort, which are both equally important. Sending Marty back to the future without having his family situation sorted would work just as poorly as not sending him back into the future at all! So don't just have a plan on how your layout or architecture is going to look, have a plan at how you're going to handle your customers and support items too! Always remember the people who are going to get you from 1955 to 1985 are just as important as the machines that are getting you there. Planning are what keeps your great idea flying (through space time) and keeps the haters at bay. But as BTTF proves, it doesn't always go according to plan. So when you gotta, don't be afraid to…
4. Kludge it sometimes. It don't have to be pretty to work.
"Please excuse the crudity of this model. I didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it." – Doc Brown
We all love clean code and clean design work. But I don't know how many times it's been the 11th hour of a project and a crucial piece of the system isn't working as expected. Naturally, you just duct tape and glue together whatever you can to make it work. It just happens sometimes. In BTTF, Doc and Marty both recognize the value of a last minute Kludge. Marty plays replacement on guitar at the Enchantment Under the sea dance until his mom and dad get together. Doc kludges together the wire on the clock tower at the last minute to save the day for Marty. When the clock is at 10:03 pm and you can't fail, pull out your bag of tricks and use whatever works to make it happen. Just remember that you're going to have to pay back that technical debt when the dust settles, just like doc upgrades the DeLorean when he has time in the future.
Well, I hope this article has helped you out in getting your DeLoreans up to 88mph. Leave me a comment below if you'd like to hear back!
Till Next time, X's up!

Clements & Church are an award winning British tailoring firm, we receive dozens of testimonials every week, below is
a selection.
If you would like to send us any testimonials please drop us an email.
Thanks Matty Katerzabek, Matt Roden and Aaron Foster of the Clements & Church team! Amazing job on my wedding suit and for my Fathers and Father in laws suits. Thank you for sharing our special day and being such an instrumental part of it. Best suit makers and customer service I've ever experienced.
Jason, Birmingham
What an absolute pleasure it was to wear such a fine suit for my wedding day. Every single person that attended our special day commented on how smart I looked and this was all thanks to the gents over at Clements and Church Birmingham. Not really knowing what I wanted, Matt took care of everything right from the very start. He arranged various suits for me to try and suggested ideas regarding colour & styles. Once I had chosen the suite he measured & tailored it to fit me perfectly. There is not one fault I could find with the service and knowledge I received from this guy & the whole process from start to finish was faultless. I would recommend Clements and Church to anybody out there as their knowledge, style, service & quality is second to non.
On behalf of Georgina & myself, thank you to everyone over at Clements and Church Birmingham for your contribution to making our day as special as it was.
Dan, Birmingham
Jason and his team dressed my Best Man and I for my wedding day in September. The quality of the materials, the amazing uniqueness of the ties and pocket squares and the attention to detail; coupled with outstanding customer service made this a memorable sartorial experience from start to finish. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Simon, Oxford
Having my suit made at C&C was a fantastic experience. Matt made our wedding day extra special by ensuring I looked the part and stood out with style. The service was fantastic too, and the quality of the fabric is definitely the best I've ever worn - and so It should be, for my wedding day. Thanks to all at C&C for helping to make our day so memorable.
Rob, Leicester
Last year I purchased my first suit from Clement & Church. I was delighted by the standard of service and the quality of product. This year I returned for another suit. The level of service I received was even higher. Nick & Rich's advice, eye for detail and customer communication were the highest I have ever experienced. My suit was produced in double quick time and of the best quality. I look forward to returning to Clement & Church, Leamington Spa for further items.
James, Leamington Spa
Triumph in Tuscany!
A huge thank you to the Clements and Church Oxford team for providing the suits for my father and I for my wedding. As ever, nothing was too much trouble throughout the fitting process. This is something I have now come to expect from you guys.
The wedding was a triumph with the sun shining, prosecco flowing and the band playing!
Everyone thought we looked amazing dressed head to toe in Clements and Church!
See you soon for some more quality tailoring!
David and Ruth.
David, Oxford
Need to send a massive THANKYOU for all your help over the last few months. The suit, like the wedding itself, was completely off the awesome chart and blew my mind in every way shape and form. Literally everyone I spoke to either complemented (girls) or said they were super jealous (boys) of the suit, and I literally felt, as they say, like a million dollars.
Thanks for bearing with me through the concept stage, being seemingly just as excited as I was about the challenge, and for actually putting it all together.
A few pics from the big day for you, thanks so much again and massive best wishes with your new store – I'll pay you a visit someday!
Sam, Oxford
Truly great job with my suit, when i walked in i knew that was the one (give yourself a pat on the back, great design) thank you for all the alterations you done for each fitting and the excellent customer service you and the rest of the team provided, down to the little touches in the Randolph.
The wedding was a great, I looked slick and the wife looked stunning, I'll get some pics over to you.
Clements and Church are truly unique its not just a clothes shop its an experience!
Delroy, Oxford
Nick and I would like to thank you and Aaron for all you help with Nick's wedding suit. Nick received many compliments. One guest even commented that he was the most stylish groom she had ever seen- her husband was standing next to her at the time!
Zara & Nick, Birmingham
I wanted to write you all in thanks for all your help with my wedding suit. Looking back, the quality of service you provided was exceptional, one of the best experiences we had in arranging our big day. The suit fits so well and looks amazing. Its everything I could have hoped for for such a special occasion. I'm very much obliged."
Matt, Oxford
Guys thank you SO much for all your help. The service you provided was exemplary from the first moment we walked in the door. From the moment he first put the suit on, I knew by his face that he had found something he felt really special in-and I wanted the groom, not just the bride to have that experience! Your efforts to make it work for us were so much appreciated-As was your flair and style in suggesting how to accessorize.
Fiona, Oxford
I've used Clements & Church and Matt Roden in particular, to provide me with a range of suits, shirts and accessories, for many years now. Every time I have found the clothing to be of the highest quality with Matt tailoring each item perfectly to meet my specific need. Additionally, the service provided by Matt is absolutely first class and he is always willing to go that extra mile, often at very short notice, to make sure I have the clothing I need, exactly when I need it and fitted to my precise requirement.
Jeremy, Birmingham
Mark Twain said 'Clothes make the man' and surely he must have had Clements & Church in mind. Virtual shopping will never completely replace the High St because going to C&C is an experience. Expert information and knowledge, friendly advice, elegant surroundings – a sojourn into this tailoring world is a tonic. Impressive range and quality of cloth, the finest attention to detail, understated and elegant design – what more could one ask? The product – suits fit like a glove because these guys know what they are doing. C&C signatures – their shirt and tie combinations, velvet collars and trims, you must have one of their bellied lapel jackets. So often in tailoring design is not matched by delivery but C&C have got it spot on.
John, Coventry
A big thank you to Ty at Clements and Church Solihull who's attention to detail and professionalism ensured that my wedding suit was exactly what I had envisaged and wanted. He helped me get the look for the big day and cannot fault the level of service I received. C&C is definitely worth a visit.
Richard, Wythall
I've got to send you a quick email mate before I fly today. The wedding was unreal, absolute success with the weather and everything else that happened. But from a personal point of view I've got to thanks you and Rich for making the suit, I honestly felt like a rockstar and I'm sure it's because of the suit. As you know how you dress dictates how your perceived by others and the suit made a huge impression on everyone. I'll be in for another when I get back.
Iain, Oxford
Wanted to say thank you for the time and effort you guys have put in during my fittings and suit selections. Special thanks to you Mal! You have been a great help and your attention to detail is amazing. My engagement and wedding day suits were perfect.
Mr Virdee, Solihull
Clements & Church did a wonderful job tailoring a pair of trousers for me.They sourced a cloth that matched an existing jacket; the fitting and design was just right; and the final result is superb. A great product and fantastic service.
Howard, Oxford
Just wanted to drop you a short note to thank both you and Ty with your guidance and expertise in putting together the perfect outfit for me. As expected I had a fantastic response and and plenty of compliments on both the unusual design and the unique fabric.
The time and effort invested in me by both of you at Clements and Church was brilliant and can only assure you of both my intention to return but also to recommend you further.
Mark, Solihull
As I get older and more demanding I don't want to just to buy good products I want to enjoy an outstanding 'customer experience'. Since I first met Aaron and Ryan at the Leamington store two and a half years ago I have enjoyed just that sort of outstanding experience and been 'looked after' wonderfully. They make me and my wife Karen really welcome, they know precisely what I like and make great suggestions for new ideas on suit, shirt and tie combinations which work really well. Whenever I wear one of my new suits at work I never fail to get a 'nice suit' comment and a 'where do you go' question. I am always pleased respond with a recommendation for Clements and Church.
Andrew, Leamington Spa
I wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you and all the staff for your help and patience when I wanted some new outfits for my cruise and various other events. I found both the service and quality of outfits to be outstanding, I will see you again soon for my next shop.
Andrew, Solihull
Great meeting you two today. I was very impressed and inspired by what you two have built; I had trouble finding anything I didn't want to buy. Especially love the attention to detail.
Kevin, Oxford
I wanted to thank you personally for the excellent service that I received from you and your team at Clements and Church, Solihull. Following my road traffic accident in 1999 finding clothes that fit and look smart has been a nightmare, so when my daughter announced that she was getting married the idea of wearing a suit seemed impossible. From the first time that my wife and I entered your store until the day that I took delivery of my suit, the care, service and attention to detail that I received was second to none. I opted for the bespoke service and nothing was too much trouble for your team including home visits from both you and your tailor. My wife, daughter and I were absolutely thrilled with the end result which made me feel smart as well as proud on the wedding day.
Paul, Solihull

Writer: Oklahoma's losses to Notre Dame and Kansas State are understandable
Carey Murdock of SoonerScoop.com:
But you can't question the fact OU has been beaten by two teams which are just a little bit better than they are. It just happens both those teams play a similar style of football – physical, grinding, methodical, and patient.
OU can sometimes look scattered, hurried, out of sync, out of rhythm, in comparison.
But don't get too far out on that limb for change. This isn't the same program which lost that game to Texas Tech last season at home. Kansas State and Notre Dame aren't those type of head scratchers.

Why Climate Change is Not an Environmental Issue
Great video. Climate change is often presented as a niche issue for a special interest group, as the narrator says—an environmental issue, rather than a social issue. I don't completely agree with the way he presents traditional environmentalism as humans vs. nature (anything that happens in the bigger "environment" will eventually affect people somehow). But I agree that the face of climate change shouldn't be a polar bear. Climate change, as he says, is humanity's greatest threat ever, period.

Location: wallowing in a pool of emotion
Re: Barnes & Nobel shrinking
I live in the DFW area, and just off the top of my head I can think of 6 or 8 B & N outlets within a 10 mile radius of my house. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see some of them bite the dust, although I hope the chain doesn't die altogether.
I was about to say that B & N is my favorite place to browse, but actually I'd have to say that goes to Half Price Books, which has about the same number of stores that B & N has. And they are always busy. They are even starting to sell new books there, often at a significant discount. They had the final Wheel of Time novel for sale at 20% off on release day. I wonder how much chains like that are eating in to Barnes & Noble's sales.
